Chapter 52: Two hundred thousand taels of silver

After three days, Wang Zan could barely walk on the ground, so he took a carriage to the east gate of the palace to find the guard Guo Shi, and only said that he would pass a word to Chen Jing: Wang Zan can walk on the ground.

Guo Shi understood that the less he knew, the better, so he took the call and sent Wang Zan away to find Chen Jing immediately.

On the afternoon of the second day, Chen Jing came to the door.

Wang Zan personally went out of the hall to greet him, Chen Jing carefully looked at Wang Zan's steps, and saw that he was no different from ordinary people, so he had time to greet him in the courtyard and asked directly: "Sir, can you drive a carriage?" ”

"I'm from a poor background, and I'm good at rough work." Wang Zan responded.

"It would be better if that was the case, tomorrow evening there will be a swill cart passing in front of your house, and the horse is a black and white flower horse, and you can stop it and mention my name when you see this carriage. When the time comes, you will enter the palace for the coachman. When you arrive at the imperial dining room in the palace, there will be a little father-in-law who will come to find a person named Chang San, that is, he is looking for you, and you can follow the little father-in-law to reach the palace of Su Gong. ”

"Remember. I'm pretending to be Chang San, what if I guard the inspection of the palace gate? ”

"The groom is Changsan, and he will hand over to you, including a place."

"Your Excellency is thoughtful, so keep in mind below."

"For Su Gong, do your best, if there is nothing else, I will go back, remember that the fewer people who know about this matter, the safer." Chen Jing reminded again.

"Your Excellency, please stay, I am a rural businessman who knows very little about the affairs of the court, can you explain to me the current situation facing Su Gong." A few days ago, Chen Jingyan said that Su Gong had no chance to make a move, and how to use it all depended on him, but he had no clue about the affairs of the court, and he couldn't use the money reasonably, so he asked Chen Jing for advice.

"Hehe, isn't Mr. joking, and he doesn't know where the situation comes from? Since the gentleman wants to ask, let's discuss it with the gentleman. It's not in vain that I've been thinking about it for years. Chen Jingquan was humble.

The two of you and I discussed the situation faced by Su Gong, Wang Zan listened and analyzed, and gradually sorted out the plan from it, so that he could talk to Su Gong tomorrow.

This conversation was two hours, Chen Jing was thoughtful, broad, and clear, and he was able to sort out all kinds of complex relations between the DPRK and China very clearly and from a high vantage point, saving Wang Zan fatal time. Chen Jingru found a confidant and gushed endlessly, and said that he was thirsty, Wang Zan led Chen Jing into the hall, personally made tea, and the two drank while talking until dark.

"It's not too early, I should go back, and I have to tell the less people know about it, the safer." Chen Jingwang looked out the window and saw that it was already dark and the situation between the DPRK and China was no longer clear, so he took his leave.

"Don't worry, it's dinner time, so you might as well stay and have some drinks." Wang Zan responded.

"Don't bother, don't bother." Chen Jingbian said that he had left the hall, and although Wang Zan walked like an ordinary person, his speed was still a little slower, so he had to watch it.

On the second day, according to Chen Jing's instructions, Wang Zan waited for the swill cart to be handed over to Chang San, and came to the east gate of the palace as a horseman Chang San.

Seeing an acquaintance among the guards of the city gate, Guo Shi, Wang Zan's fear that he would not be able to pass the inspection finally settled.

The inspection was smooth, after the east gate, Wang Zan under the guidance of the guy who followed the car, turned around and finally came to the dining room, at this time a little father-in-law was already waiting here, seeing the swill car coming, Xiao Broken Step stepped forward and greeted: "Which one is called Chang San?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law." Wang Zan endured the pain in his butt and jumped out of the carriage in response.

"Let's go with the miscellaneous family, I heard that your bricklayer skills are good, and there is a talented flower garden in the harem that needs to be repaired, so I specially picked you." The little father-in-law said.

"Xie Cairen remembers, father-in-law, you lead the way." Wang Zan said.

The little father-in-law didn't reply and turned around and left, Wang Zan followed closely behind him and didn't dare to speak, and he came to the dormitory again.

Sun Gongcheng waited in front of the palace, and when he saw Wang Zan, he greeted him with a smile and said in that yin and yang strange voice:

"Sir, I suffered the last few days. It is also difficult for the miscellaneous family to let you enter the palace with the juggling team, you don't remember the villain, and we will serve Su Gong together in the future. ”

"Father-in-law Sun is serious, if there is no father-in-law, I will definitely not see Duke Su. Please bring us along in the future. ”

"Mr. said with a smile, the miscellaneous family will depend on you to take care of it in the future. Su Gong waited for a long time, and the miscellaneous family led the way. Grandpa Sun didn't say much, so he didn't report it, and turned around and led Wang Zan into the palace.

Duke Su had already heard the conversation between Gonggong Sun and Wang Zan outside the palace, stopped his footsteps, sat in front of the coffee table in the middle and pretended to have a deep face and a beard that had been grown for a long time, but he couldn't hide his immaturity, he held a teacup and waited for Wang Zan.

"King Haiqu praises to see Duke Su." Wang Zan entered the palace and saw that it was Su Gong sitting in the middle, and knelt down at the door to bow down.

"Sir, please get up." Su Gong hurriedly got up and said.

Wang Zan saw Su Gong get up and got up himself, and arched his hand and said, "Xie Su Gong." ”

"Sir, please sit here." Su Ming motioned for Wang Zan to sit down in front of the coffee table on his lower left, which was already filled with tea and some fruits.

Wang Zan walked almost trotting to the solemn coffee table and sat on the ground.

"Sir, you suffered the other day." Su Gong said with a greeting.

"It's nothing to see Su Gong's flesh and skin."

"I have no choice but to do it, as my husband said, I have been suppressed by the Auxiliary Minister for a long time, and there are too many suspicions and fears in my heart. I look forward to your understanding. When Su Gong said this, his words sank a lot, the king of a country is afraid of his courtiers, and there is always some unhappiness on this face, and it is already great courage to be able to speak. His eyes were slightly glazed, as if he was thinking about something outside of words, perhaps it was the experience of being oppressed.

"The villain deeply understands the hardships of Duke Su, and is willing to use his life to sweep away the ministers for Duke Su." Wang Zan's words were firm, and he had made up his mind after thinking about it all night last night, and he was willing to gamble all his family wealth and his life to regain power.

"If it can be done, I will worship the soil and seal the marquis."

"Su Gong, if it can be done, I only need a Haiyan franchise."

"What's so hard about that? Sir, tell me how to get rid of the ministers? Su Gong was young and didn't know the huge benefits brought by the Haiyan franchise, so he agreed.

"The way of a businessman, use money to open the way, as long as the money arrives, there is nothing that cannot be done. Of course, I will raise the money. Wang Zan said confidently.

The treasury of Dongsheng is controlled by the auxiliary minister, and even the list of Su Gong's use must be clear before it can be used, which greatly limits the financial resources of Su Gong, and it is also the most important shackle that Su Gong has nothing to do.

"Sir knows my sore spots." Su Gong's immature and green face, contaminated by the constricted brow, perhaps the age of seventeen should be accompanied by poetry.

"How much money does it take to make it happen, sir?" Su Gong then said.

"Not less than two hundred thousand taels of silver."

"This is half a month's treasury income in Dongsheng. How many of those sirs are there? Su Gong sighed.

"It's just 30,000 taels."

"It's far from it, how do you raise it?"

"If you mortgage a merchant and collect salt money in advance, you can get 100,000 taels, and you can get 70,000 taels if you borrow from various merchants."

"Sir raised it like this, if you lose, you will have nothing."

"Su Gong, money hasn't been able to do anything." Wang Zan said confidently.

"If Mr. has prepared 200,000 taels, how will he use it?"

"It's nothing more than dual-use, bribery and separation."
