Chapter 1019: Fan Li, the richest man in the empire
"Chen Fan Li, see His Majesty the Emperor. Your Majesty Long live! Fan Li, who turned back from the West, entered the palace to meet Qingji as soon as possible.
At this time, Fan Li was already gray with white temples, but his face was ruddy, and he didn't see much old age. Fan Li, who has long been in the year of the sixtieth year, is rare to be so energetic, which makes Qingji very pleased.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, Fan Li has taken a back seat, the official worships the prince and the prince, and is the prince of Nanyang County, and Qingji is very honored to him.
Fan Li was not obsessed with his career in his life, and turned to business to get rich when he was old, and went to the West to do business through the Silk Road, making a lot of money.
So much so that many ministers and officials in the court have a lot of complaints about Fan Li, and they have repeatedly impeached Fan Li, but they have all been rejected by Qingji without exception.
They are clearly red-eyed Fan Li can make money, and they have become the richest man in Dawu!
"Young uncle, sit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fan Li sat opposite Qingji at this time. Sit across from each other. Qingji also waved his hand and asked Xi Shi, who was sitting on the side, to make tea and a cup for each person.
After taking a sip of the bittersweet tea, Qingji looked at Fan Li, with an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Young uncle, I haven't seen you for a few years, I'm afraid you've made a lot of money again, right?" ”
"You are now, but I am the richest man in Wu. How can you not be annoyed that the wealth that others have spent decades, or even generations and hundreds of years, can you earn in a few years? ”
"When it comes to the ability to make money, I'm afraid no one in the world can compare to you."
"Your Majesty has praised it." Fan Li smiled wryly: "Isn't this still stained with Your Majesty's light?" Qingji shook his head and said, "This is all your own ability, what does it have to do with me?" "Fan Li's ability to get rich in business is really not comparable to ordinary people.
In history, he became rich three times in business, and he also scattered his family fortune three times...... Unlike those businessmen who are full of copper smell, Fan Li is famous and rich, and doing business is just a hobby.
"Your Majesty, this is the account book, please take a look."
"What are you doing here? Let me check the accounts? ”
"Definitely." Fan Li said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to dedicate the family property he earned from business to His Majesty and fill it into the treasury. Your Majesty, please, smile. Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help but say with a straight face: "Fan Li, who do you think I am?" Do you think I'm scarce of your money? ”
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. Your Majesty, you are rich all over the world, you dominate all things in the world, everything in this world is yours, but the minister wants to scatter all his wealth and start all over again, otherwise the minister's business will not be challenging. ”
"......" Qingji was speechless. Qingji immediately put the account book on the eucalyptus table on the side, shook his head and said: "The treasury is very abundant now, and it is useless to pile up money and grain. ”
"Especially this kind of yellow and white thing, there is so much that there is no place to put it, and there is no shortage of your three melons and two dates." Qingji is not bragging.
The Achaemenid dynasty of Persia was very rich, especially all kinds of rare treasures, gold and other objects, which were so many that they were difficult to place, and Qingji could not use them now.
Money? Qingji is now extremely wealthy, and he really regards money as dung.
"Young uncle, you should keep your property for yourself and your children and grandchildren." Hearing this, Fan Li smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassed for your ministers, your children and grandchildren?" ”
"These children and grandchildren of the ministers are all average, I am afraid that they will sit and eat empty mountains and can't keep this huge family business, rather than let them lose everything, it is better to dedicate them to Your Majesty and store them in the treasury."
"Storage?"
"Yes."
"Wouldn't it be better for you to deposit it in the bank?" Qing Ji smiled narrowly. Fan Li, who was pierced by Qingji, was very embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister should tell you the truth." ”
"The family property owned by the minister now is incalculable, not to mention the real estate such as shops, and the working capital, if converted into gold, there are about 7.8 million taels of gold."
"It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich country. Your Majesty, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. ”
"Just because you don't care about your minister's family business doesn't mean that others won't worry about it."
"This is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves. Your Majesty doesn't want to watch your ministers be scared all the time, right? ”
"That's right." Qingji glanced at Fan Li meaningfully. No wonder Fan Li was a little uneasy, it turned out that he had made so much money!
I'm a good one. Fan Li's working capital is 7.8 million taels of gold, which is equivalent to the treasury revenue of Dawu for a year.
Qingji will not covet Fan Li's money, but it does not mean that the successor does not covet it. Fan Li was afraid that his family would be slaughtered by the Dawu royal family like fattened pigs...... As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind.
Qingji should take Fan's family property as a pawn
The "Newbie Gift Package" is left to Prince Heng or Taisun Wu Ji to inherit the unification and then open it and return it to the country, and maybe Fan Li's descendants will suffer.
Instead of this, Fan Li might as well be more generous and hand over his property directly.
"Young uncle, what are you afraid of? This is your own family business earned through hard work, and it is not illegal gain, and no one can take it away. Qingji still stuffed the account book into Fan Li's hand.
Fan Li couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, he always felt that he had been dug a big hole by Qingji. Fan Li now has a lot of money and burns his hands, which is worthy of his name
"God of Wealth". With the protection of Qingji, Fan Li is naturally safe and sound, but the successor cannot be guaranteed.
Qingji does not accept Fan Li's family property now, I am afraid that when Qingji dies, the Fan family will suffer.
Once the Emperor of Great Wu was short of money, or even realized the hidden danger caused by Fan's being too rich, he might just find an excuse to nationalize the property of Fan Li's descendants.
When the time comes, who will they go to? Fan Li smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is still a little uneasy. ”
"Why don't you put the property of the minister in your name and inherit it with the successor?"
"It's not like words."
"Your Majesty's permission."
......Seeing Fan Li's attitude, Qingji was a little displeased, but he also knew what concerns Fan Li had in his heart.
"Your industry will be put in Wu Ji's name. Young uncle, I promised you that your children and grandchildren will be properly taken care of by the royal family, and from now on you will be with the country, can you rest assured? ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fan Li was relieved. If nothing else, the grandson Wu Ji will inherit the throne in the future and become the third emperor, which is a sure thing.
Fan Li is the God of Wealth for the Dawu royal family, and he is one
"Cornucopia". With Fan Li here, the Wu Empire is not worried about running out of money to spend.
"Your Majesty." At this time, Xi Shi came over and said, "The sauna palace room has been prepared. ”
"Very good." Qingji took Fan Li's hand with great interest and said, "Young uncle, you came just in time." I've built a new sauna palace, let's go to the sauna with me. ”
