In other words, one tael of silver can buy a hundred steamed buns.

You must know that many people in Dayan can't afford to eat steamed buns now.

One or two pieces of silver is a month's living expenses for a common people.

And 100 million taels of silver is almost enough for the people of Dayan Shifu for a month's food.

In the mouth of this little lady, it turned out to be just 100 million taels of silver.

The corners of Tang Tingbai's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, man is better than man.

He knew that the Persian Empire was rich, but he never expected that it would be so rich.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there are only so many mirrors at present, I will order the craftsmen to hurry up and build them, and it is estimated that they can produce 20,000 pieces when you come over next time."

"But I have a question, Her Royal Highness brought 100 million taels of silver this time?"

Gongsun Li smiled disdainfully, and looked at Tang Tingbai with eyes like looking at a poor ghost: "Don't you know how much 100 million taels of silver weigh?" How could this princess carry it with her? In this way, give this princess three days, and I will write back to China and ask them to send money! ”

Gongsun Li looked at the mirror beside Tang Tingbai: "Since we are already in a cooperative relationship, can you give me this mirror?" ”

Tang Tingbai smiled and nodded: "Yuan Fang, you personally carry this mirror and follow Her Royal Highness the princess back to her residence!" ”

Li Yuanfang nodded immediately: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Gongsun Li was satisfied, and then thought that she must not give Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, any good look, she immediately put on a straight face and glared at Tang Tingbai fiercely, and turned to leave.

When Gongsun left, the court was still silent.

Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair, a little excited in his heart.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to make money.

The cost price of three taels of silver was sold for 10,000 taels.

That's all there is to it, right?

At this time, Su Zhen was the first to react: "Your Majesty, what's going on with this mirror?" Why didn't the minister and the Ministry of Industry get any news at all? ”

The civil and military officials nodded in unison, their faces full of curiosity.

In this regard, Tang Tingbai smiled: "This mirror was made by me in the palace and with the research of craftsmen, and I didn't expect that this mirror was worth 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Zhang Tiandao's face was also full of joy: "Your Majesty, in three days, Gongsun will come back with silver to trade, and then the minister will order the officials of the household department to wait for the silver to be counted." ”

Counting silver?

Listening to Zhang Tiandao's words, Tang Tingbai smiled and glanced at him appreciatively.

"Zhang Butang is reasonable, but I am not going to hand over this money to the household department!"

What??

What does it mean not to be ready to give to the household?

Zhang Tiandao's old face was a little ugly.

He could compromise on anything else, and even agree with Tang Tingbai's absurd ideas.

But now, Tang Tingbai actually said that he was not going to give the money to the household department, which was absolutely not good.

Zhang Tiandao took a step forward, his face full of anger: "Your Majesty, you said that you don't plan to hand over the money to the household department, what do you mean by this?" Since ancient times, money and food should be managed by the household department, your royal family already has a royal chamber of commerce, and you can earn millions of taels of silver every year, which is enough for the royal family, right? Your Majesty, you have always said that it is for the people, and now you plan to embezzle 100 million taels of silver, which you call it for the people of the world? Do you know how much 100 million taels of silver can do for the benefit of the people? ”

At this moment, Zhang Tiandao's eyes were a little red, and he asked loudly.

The rest of the officials nodded in unison, although they didn't dare to speak like Zhang Tiandao, they also felt that Tang Tingbai didn't hand over 100 million taels of silver to the household department, this matter was a little unreasonable.

Looking at everyone's reaction, Tang Tingbai smiled and was not angry.

"Zhang Butang, I have a few questions for you."

"Hmph, please speak, the old minister wants to see, what reason can you find, today you should give the money to the household."

Zhang Tiandao snorted coldly, he is an iron rooster, and he is famous for his indefatigability.

Now, Tang heard that 100 million taels of silver would not be handed over to the household department, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although even if the money is given to the household department, Zhang Tiandao will use it on the people of Dayan, and there will be no private pockets.

But I just feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!

"Zhang Butang is like this, I use craftsmen from the palace, they belong to the royal family, and the materials I use are also purchased from the palace with the silver from the treasury of the palace, and there is no money from the user department."

"At the same time, this mirror was researched by me and the craftsmen of the Imperial Palace, and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Works."

"I want to ask, neither the Ministry of Industry nor the Ministry of Households participated, and now that I am making money, why should I distribute the money to the Ministry of Households? Does that make sense? ”

This......

Hearing this, Zhang Tiandao's face changed.

He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute for a while.

Yes, the emperor used the craftsmen of the palace and spent the money from the treasury of the palace.

It has nothing to do with the six departments of their court.

Even if it is a business, this money should be given to the royal treasury, and it has nothing to do with their household department or even with the Dayan Imperial Court.

Zhang Tiandao frowned, now Tang Tingbai had already made it very clear.

But he just wasn't reconciled.

"Your Majesty, you ...... Why do you want so much money, the royal population is already small, even if you eat roast chicken every day, it won't cost much silver, right? Zhang Tiandao's tone was full of unwillingness.

Tang listened to Bai and smiled, looking at Zhang Tiandao without speaking.

And Zhang Tiandao sighed.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his face was hot.

They are really shameless now that they ask Tang Tingbai for money.

"Your Majesty, this money should not be taken by the Ministry of Households, but ...... But Lao Chen was very puzzled in his heart, why do you want so much money? Zhang Tiandao asked curiously.

"Zhang Butang, you know that now the nine-year compulsory education has begun to be implemented, this is a project that costs money, the household department took a billion taels of silver, but what about the next time? Will the household department be willing to come up with such money? ”

"Probably not, right? Even if the household department agrees, the civil and military officials in the court should not agree, right? ”

"The reason why I am ready to make money is that I think that if the money is not enough, I can take it out privately, without going through the court or the household department, can you understand what I say?"

I......

Zhang Tiandao smiled bitterly and sighed.

Tang Tingbai had already said it so clearly, how could he not understand.

But that's 100 million taels of silver.

What else does Zhang Tiandao have to say.

Su Zhen hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Your Majesty, this money should not be taken by the household department, but can you also divide the business to the household department, after all, this is a profitable business, and even the household department can take out the silver to buy it from you." ”

Tang Tingbai smiled: "The prime minister is reasonable, but now is not the time, the cost of the mirror is very low, when I sell the entire Persian market to saturation, I will tell you the method of making the mirror for free, I estimate that it will be a year at most, and now there is still a lot of silver in the treasury of the household department, you shouldn't be in a hurry this year, right?" ”

Su Zhen nodded.

The civil and military officials also nodded in unison.

They all know that Tang Tingbai is a person who does what he says.

Since it has been said, it will be handed over to the household department for free after one year.

Then he will definitely do it, and even in the eyes of officials, this is a compromise for Tang Tingbai.

The emperor has already compromised, and if they still have to make an inch, it will definitely cause the emperor's displeasure.

When the time comes, no one knows what will happen.

Soon, retreat.

Tang Tingbai did not return to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but went to the Golden Dragon Palace.

Now that Jia Luo is pregnant with a child in her belly, Tang Tingbai wants to be by her side all the time.

As soon as he walked into the Golden Dragon Palace, he saw Jia Luo and Daji standing in front of the mirror, talking something.

Seeing Tang Tingbai coming, the two hurriedly bowed down.

"The concubine visits the emperor."

Tang Tingbai smiled, and helped Jia Luo and Daji up: "Let's all get up, we are husband and wife, why are you so polite?" ”

Jia Luo smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, Sister Daji heard that you gave your concubine a mirror, so I thought about coming and seeing!" ”

Daji also nodded, glanced at Tang Tingbai fiercely, and said a little coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are partial, Sister Jia Luo has such a beautiful mirror, why don't the concubines have it, the concubines also know that this mirror is definitely not cheap, but this mirror is really good-looking, and the concubines also want it." ”

Daji hugged Tang Tingbai's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly.

Tang Tingbai smiled, and touched Daji's little head dotingly: "Of course I prepared it for you, but the reason why I gave it to Jia Luo is because of the child in her belly, I always need a reason to give it to you, right?" ”

Da Jiqiao's face flushed, she kissed Tang Tingbai's face directly, and said shyly: "This is always okay, right?" ”

Tang Tingbai smiled: "Hehe, okay, I will also give you the most beautiful mirror......"
