Chapter 27: What Can You Give Me?
"Your Majesty, for such a long time, Your Majesty has prepared such a little bit of gold, it is really difficult for me to do it!"
Zhao Yuan, who had just lost more than 100,000 taels of gold, immediately entered the trading space. Although he can afford such a loss, he is still distressed, and he has to make up for it from somewhere else.
"The person you want has brought you another batch, and you can see how many silver taels you can exchange. Now that the situation in Daming is critical, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, what I want is silver! ”
"The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that I gave to Your Majesty not long ago are gone, and Your Majesty's spending money is really like flowing water!" couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. No matter how rich Daming is, he can't withstand so many moths eating together. How many can really be used on the front line, not to mention, the situation in Daming is getting more and more critical!
"Okay, let me see!" Let hundreds of people stand there in rows, and according to Zhao Yuan's request, each reveal his unique skills. And Zhao Yuan quietly looked at the picture on the jade bi, carefully selecting one by one.
Overall, this group of people is not bad, Zhao Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Although Zhao Yuan now has hundreds of factory guards around him, it will take time for them to take root and cultivate elites. With the participation of these people, the speed of the establishment of the intelligence system can be greatly improved, and there is even room for expansion outward.
As for these exquisite craftsmen, it is even more valuable, you must know that these craftsmen can not be quickly cultivated in a year or two, it is all the accumulation of experience. The most important thing is that they who signed a contract with Zhao Yuan, and their loyalty is definitely incomparable to others.
"Your Majesty has a heart, I am very satisfied!" Nodding with satisfaction, the contract transaction made these people sign a contract of sale, and then the silver fell to the feet of Emperor Chongzhen.
"By the way, I have also mobilized a batch of bows and crossbows here, I don't know if you still need them?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't need it for the time being!" Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly. I don't know if it's because the rules of the world are different or what, gunpowder can't be fired at all in the Nine Domains Continent, even if it can't even be used as a cannonball. Otherwise, Zhao Yuan would have already asked for a batch of firecrackers and related craftsmen, and with a salvo of hundreds of firearms, Shen Yuan would have to lie down immediately that day, and he still needed to be so arrogant.
It's a pity that gunpowder can't be used in this world, and Zhao Yuan can only use hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to get a large number of crossbows and arrows from Emperor Chongzhen. On that day, Emperor Chongzhen was also short of money, otherwise he would not have sold these important weapons of the country at will.
However, the price of these bows and crossbows for Zhao Yuan was at least twice as expensive, but Zhao Yuan, who was in urgent need of these, gritted his teeth and bought them. It was enough to do such a wronged boss once, and he didn't want to do it again.
"In that case, then I will take my leave. After a while, I'll send the next batch! ”
"Slow!" Softly calling Emperor Chongzhen, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Your Majesty, the transaction between us has always been very happy, but only this gold is missing. Your Majesty is rich all over the world, how can he not raise enough gold? ”
"This" Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Emperor Chongzhen's face was full of embarrassment. Up to now, almost ninety percent of the money in his hands has come from trading people. And relatively speaking, population trading is far more effective than gold trading, and it is easy to enter the account for millions of taels.
There are countless craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, and the factory guards are even more grasped, so they don't have to worry about changing. In just over two months, it is almost enough to catch up with the treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty for a year, which is much easier than grabbing money.
As for the collection of gold, although he also ordered the household to do it. But the urine nature of the officials below, it is estimated that Emperor Chongzhen himself knows that it is simply the temperament of the goose plucking. Let them replenish the treasury with gold at the market price, and ensure that it is much lower than the market price. In this way, who will take out the gold in his hand.
"I asked the household department to exchange it at the market price, but unfortunately there may not be so much gold in the capital, so it is inevitable that there will be less, and I will urge them!"
"Let the household use the market price to exchange? Your Majesty, that's not how business works! Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Your Majesty's price must be at least two or three percent higher than the market price. In this way, Your Majesty will be able to obtain a steady stream of gold! ”
"Smelling of copper! I am an emperor, not a merchant! Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't need you to tell me how to do it!" ”
"But Your Majesty, now that the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, it also needs a lot of money to prepare for war. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, why should Your Majesty be wronged once? Looking at each other quietly, Zhao Yuan said softly, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to give some benefits, I believe that the adults in the household department will definitely do their best for Your Majesty!" ”
"Hmph, I know what to do, I don't need you to teach me!" Although Emperor Chongzhen's face was still stubborn, there was obviously a change. If nothing else, the next time they meet, Zhao Yuan should be able to see a large amount of golden gold.
"Hehe, it's really stubborn!" Looking at the figure of Emperor Chongzhen gradually fading on the screen, Zhao Yuan smiled lightly, and looked at the sun, moon and stars on the jade bi again, "The January period has passed, and the next world has finally opened, let me see which world it is this time?" ”
With a slight wave of his hand, the sun, moon and stars above the jade suddenly began to emit a glowing light, and then the light became brighter and brighter, and in the end, it was even a little dazzling. Countless starlights flickered, and finally condensed into a simple and mysterious token, quietly floating above the jade.
With a wave of his hand again, the token suddenly jumped lightly towards one of the stars in the direction of Zhao Yuan's wave. An inexplicable suction force appeared, and in an instant, the token was gone.
"Jingzhou Governor Ling retreated? The world of the city? How a villain again! Looking at the picture that appeared on the jade bi, Zhao Yuan couldn't help frowning. Ling Huisi, who appeared in front of him, was one of his least favorite characters.
Ling Huisi was originally the leader of the Longsha Gang of the Two Lakes, and after the Longsha Gang was destroyed by the Blood Knife Ancestor, Ling Huisi fled and became the prefect of Jingzhou several times. However, Ling Huisi was cruel and ruthless, and did not hesitate to kill his own daughter for the treasure of Emperor Wu of Liang. Tiger poison does not eat children, this Ling Huisi is cruel and ruthless is no longer enough to match him.
However, for Zhao Yuan, villains have the benefits of villains. Decent people are often too upright, often promised, but they are easily unwilling to nod. And even if you agree, you will have such and such scruples, and it can be said that it is difficult to sign a contract with them.
However, these villains like to use stratagems, like hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and often compromise first in order to achieve their goals. It's just that they don't know that as long as the contract is signed, it doesn't matter if you are sincere or false, you can only come up according to the contract.
"Ling Huisi!"
"Who?" Ling Weisi, who was sitting at the table talking to the executive, suddenly felt as if someone was calling his name, and his hair suddenly exploded, and he stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, "Who is it?" ”
"Your Excellency!" Seeing Ling Huisi like this, the executives on the side asked puzzledly, "My lord, what happened?" ”
"Didn't you hear my name being called?"
"Shouting your name?" Looking around with a puzzled face, the executive said suspiciously, "No, my lord, did you hear it wrong!" ”
"Ling Huisi!"
"Who?" The terrifying voice sounded in his ears again, Ling Weisi trembled, and then shouted loudly around, "Who are you, what is the matter with this official?" ”
"Ling Huisi, you don't need to know who I am!" The faint voice sounded again, Ling Weisi couldn't help but get nervous, and quietly pulled out the long sword with his right hand to protect it in front of him. Anyone can be nervous in the face of the unknown.
"I just want to ask you, do you want to get the trick of connecting cities?"
"Liancheng Jue?" Raising his eyebrows slightly, Ling Huisi asked with some uncertainty, "You know the trick of Liancheng, can you tell me?" ”
"Of course I know, it's just a matter of connecting the city, and I can tell you where Emperor Liangwu's treasure is buried. However, I told you what you wanted, and I wonder what you can give me? ”
