Chapter 112: People are stupid and have a lot of money
What Xie Xun didn't know was that the emperor really thought about asking for 300,000 taels directly, and he could also make a hundred thousand taels of flowers, but he was afraid that Xie Xun would take out so much silver, but he would cut half of it.
"Your Majesty, then you better let the two of them go to the listing." Xie Xun gritted his teeth and said, as if it took a lot of stamina to resist the urge to retract that sentence.
The emperor lifted his eyelids in some surprise, "Don't you feel sorry for your beauty?" I heard that one is your new love and the other is your old love. Especially the merciful month, you have three thousand taels of silver every month. It is 36,000 taels a year, and 30,000 or 40,000 are willing to spend. It's just a hundred thousand taels, and you're stingy? ”
Look at what the dog emperor said, it's only a hundred thousand taels, you fucking people have a lot of money, you are out!
Xie Xun's expression was bitter and he could wring out the bitter gourd water, "It's not that the minister is stingy, the monthly silver package is only three thousand taels, and the minister's monthly silver is enough." But now the emperor wants 178,000 taels, and the ministers really don't have it! ”
"Recently, the government has been making winter clothes for the Northern Xinjiang Army, making weapons and armor, and the silver is in short supply, and the minister's small treasury has been taken away by his father. How can there be any money to help them both pay off their debts? Otherwise, let them owe it first, and the minister will cover both of them with six thousand taels of silver per month, so that after three years, it will be enough. In three years, the two of them shouldn't lose too much in appearance......"
"No way!" The Emperor interrupted almost repulsively.
Damn it, what did he take the property of the imperial court, and he still owes it first!
"The rebuilding of the Teaching Workshop Division is a major event for the imperial court, how can we wait for three years?"
"But even if you put those two beauties on the list, according to the market price of the Oiran, you can earn two or three thousand taels by serving guests for twelve hours a day, and your value will decrease with the increase in serving guests, and you will not earn seventeen or eighty thousand taels in two or three months. However, the Workshop Division lost two major Oiran. ”
Oiran is not so easy to cultivate, especially the one of the Faculty Division. Most of the officials stood out from the imperial examinations, and those who boasted of being literati and ink writers wanted to be Oiran in the teaching department, and their beauty, literary and ink talents, and singing and dancing talents were indispensable.
The best in one aspect may be easy to find, but it is not so easy to be brilliant in all three. A lot of times, it takes two or three years to get one.
The emperor's practice is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs. How could the emperor not know that the method he said was impossible to implement, otherwise he would have lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.
It's just that the emperor can't swallow this breath.
Is that all?
Isn't he defeated again?
Absolutely not!
"Didn't you just earn more than 200,000 taels?" The emperor was in a hurry, grabbing Xie Xun's fox tail and curling the corners of his lips.
Dead and stupid, and wanted to play with me and pretend to be stupid, and was almost deceived by him!
"Don't mention it~" Xie Xun waved his hand with an unbearable look on the past, "The more than 200,000 taels were taken away by my father without waiting for the ministers to see them." Now that even the shopkeeper has changed, the minister wants to get a few robes of a noble son to wear, and he has to spend silver to buy them. If you don't believe it, the emperor can send someone to investigate. ”
The emperor naturally believed it. If his son had such a lucrative shop, he would immediately send someone to take it over.
However, if the "noble son" is really taken over by the two foxes of the Xie family, it is really difficult for him, the emperor, to make up his mind.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good idea!" Xie Xun's eyes lit up, "Didn't the minister get a Haiyue Tower?" ”
When Haiyue Tower was mentioned, the emperor couldn't help but pull down his face.
Although it was Gao Shiqing's Haiyue Tower, Gao Shiqing was the champion appointed by the emperor, and he lost to the first gentleman in the capital, isn't it because he is the emperor's eyes?
This kind of thing will be written into the history books in the future.
Xie Xun didn't seem to see the change in the emperor's face at all, and continued to talk to himself.
"The minister plans to use the Haiyue Building to open a shop. The amount of silver earned should be no less than that of a noble son. It's just a lack of start-up capital. Otherwise, let Liuyunlou take 200,000 taels out and buy shares, and the minister guarantees that within three months, he will be able to earn it back! ”
Xie Xun stretched out three fingers to the emperor, "It's the same three months, you can earn an extra twenty or thirty thousand taels, and Liuyunlou doesn't have to lose two Oiran girls, it's more cost-effective, right?" ”
Worthwhile!
The emperor echoed in his heart.
"Are you sure you can make 200,000 in three months?"
Xie Xun waved his hand, "If you can't earn it, the minister will find a way to get together enough 200,000 taels for Liuyun Tower, how about it?" ”
"That's it!"
The emperor immediately asked Xie Xun to write down the contract, for fear that Xie Xun would regret it.
When the bustard lady of Liuyunlou received the holy message, the whole person was dumbfounded, and couldn't help muttering in her heart.
Your Majesty, are you in a bad head?
Not only did he fail to take out the silver from Xie Shizi's mouth, but asked the Teaching Department to give Xie Shizi another 200,000 taels?
The key is that Liuyunlou's monthly income is handed over, and she can't take out so much silver!
She can only return this Keju kick to Tobe and Neku. The household department only collects a poll tax, and it is impossible to find it at all. In the end, it still fell on Neku's head.
"Your Majesty, the inner treasury really can't get any money." The chief of the inner library knelt in front of the imperial table with a bitter face.
The emperor had a headache.
He also issued a holy decree before he remembered that Liuyun Tower should have no silver. But Neku and he don't have any money!
"Can the materials used to make paper be sold?"
The head of the inner treasury shook his head, "If you want to sell, you can sell it, but in terms of price, you will suffer a loss, but I am afraid that you will lose tens of millions of taels of silver." ”
At that time, the price was too high, but now it has fallen, and it is a rush to sell, but I am afraid that I will lose seven or eight percent.
The point is, who is the one who takes advantage of the cheap sale?
The emperor rushed up with a mouthful of old blood, his throat was blocked, An Shun hurriedly handed over the tea, and waved his hand to let the chief of the inner library retreat.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to pay for that silver. Gao Jia......"
The emperor's gray eyes lit up, and he became happy, "Yes, doesn't the Gao family have a sea boat, and they should have saved a lot of silver." ”
Then, Gao Shangshu received an edict from the emperor asking him to lend 200,000 taels of silver to the inner treasury.
said that it was borrowed, Gao Shangshu and Gao Shiqing both knew that this silver was a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no return.
Just lost Haiyue Tower, Gao Shiqing was scolded by Mrs. Gao for two days in a row, and his head hurt. The emperor came again to ask for silver!
The father and son are operating a sea ship outside, but the ship is still at sea, where will the money come from?
I can only ask Mrs. Gao if I want it.
Haiyue Lou is the most valuable shop in Mrs. Gao's dowry, because she was afraid that her son would go to Chu Shangshu's Mansion to propose marriage, and was looked down upon by Chu Shangshu, who dealt with Ah Duwu all day long, so she gave her son the restaurant. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, his son lost!
Gao Shiqing was scolded for being squirted blood, and Mrs. Gao herself was sick and has not been able to get out of bed so far.
But this is the emperor asking for silver, do they dare not give it?
"Father, go and ask your mother for money."
Gao Shiqing was really afraid of his mother.
"I don't want to go for my father, so you should go."
In the past two days, his sister-in-law has been scolded, and his husband has not been much better. When his wife saw him, he cried, crying that he felt that he was very faceless.
"By the way, Xie Xun can really earn 200,000 taels in three months?" Gao Shangshu asked curiously.
It was An Shun who came to deliver the oracle for the emperor, and he told all the causes and consequences.
Gao Shiqing shook his head, "Who knows." However, since he dared to say that he paid out of his own pocket to make up the money, it should be true. ”
Gao Shangshu twisted his beard and muttered for a while, "Otherwise, let's vote for some too?" Didn't you want to take a stake in that noble son before? ”
If it weren't for this, Haiyue Tower would not have been handed.
