Chapter 196: Greed
Imperial Physician Zhou nodded, "You shouldn't be mistaken." โ
King Kang slapped his face, "Okay, then this ginseng will be taken to celebrate the birthday of the concubine." โ
Then he instructed the king's steward, "Give him money according to the market price." โ
King Kang continued: "Xiao Wang still has some miscellaneous matters, so he won't accompany Jiang Xiucai." With that, he lifted his robe and went out of the house.
Imperial Physician Zhou also left.
Steward Wang sat down slowly and squinted at Jiang Youzhi, "How much silver do you want?" โ
Jiang Youzhi's steward of the dynasty arched his hand, "I heard that a few years ago, there was also a ginseng that was more than 300 years old, which was not as big as this one, nor as old as this one, and it was sold in the capital for 8,000 taels of silver. โ
Steward Wang smiled, "You really dare to shout." โ
"You have to know that the capital is the capital, how can Xiangcheng compare with the capital?"
Jiang Youzhi was silent.
Steward Wang tapped his fingers on the table, "In this way, the ginseng price is six thousand taels." โ
Jiang Youzhi's face sank slightly, "Steward Wang's atonement, at this price, you can't sell it below." โ
Steward Wang said unhappily: "Six thousand taels is a lot." โ
Jiang Youzhi just didn't say anything.
Steward Wang's face was gloomy, "What entered my palace, do you still want to take it away?" โ
Jiang Youzhi smiled faintly, "Even the palace can't be forced to buy and sell!" โ
Steward Wang stared at Jiang Youzhi for a while, and then looked at Ah Hu.
Ah Hu squinted at him, as if he was planning to beat someone up if he didn't agree with him.
Steward Wang twitched the corners of his mouth and sat down slowly, "Then I'll add some more, seven thousand taels." โ
Jiang Youzhi lowered his eyes and thought secretly in his heart.
He could almost guess that Steward Wang bought this ginseng, and when he kept the accounts, he would have to record eight thousand taels on the books, maybe more.
Naturally, the extra silver went into his own pocket.
Seeing others take away a thousand taels, Jiang Youzhi was unwilling.
Seeing that he was silent, Steward Wang said simply: "Seven thousand taels, there is no more penny, if you don't want to, you can go and tell the prince yourself." โ
When Jiang Youzhi heard this, he understood that seven thousand taels was the bottom line of Steward Wang.
He sighed in his heart, people have to bow their heads under the low eaves.
He nodded, "So, at this price." โ
Steward Wang straightened up, "There is one more." โ
"We can't talk nonsense about things in our palace, this matter of selling ginseng, and this price ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Jiang Youzhi nodded, "This rule is still clear below, Steward Wang can rest assured, not a word will be passed out." โ
Steward Wang raised his eyebrows, "I hope you really understand the rules." โ
He got up and said, "Let's go, come with me to the account office and get the money." โ
When they arrived at the account room, Steward Wang took out seven thousand taels of silver tickets, handed them to Jiang Youzhi, and then waved his hand and asked the little servant to take them out.
Out of the door of King Kang's mansion, Ah Hu got into the carriage and couldn't help muttering: "This housekeeper is not a good thing, he is greedy for us a thousand taels of silver." โ
Jiang Youzhi said lightly: "That's no way, the prince won't care about such a trivial matter, let's not take a step back, I'm afraid that we will really cause some trouble." โ
When the two returned to the inn, Jiang Youzhi entered the lobby and saw Gu Yunjiao and the yellow-toothed man sitting and talking in the lobby that day.
Jiang Youzhi walked over, Gu Yunjiao looked at him inquiringly, Jiang Youzhi nodded, and made a lip shape to her.
Gu Yunjiao could tell that what Jiang Youzhi said was seven thousand taels, which was also in line with her psychological tone, she nodded and smiled, "It just so happened that Lao Huang said that he would take me to see the shop." โ
Jiang Youzhi pushed the boat down the river, "Then let's go together." โ
