In the guard with a knife, Pei Youan's right eyelid jumped wildly inexplicably.

The left eye jumped rich, the right eye jumped disaster, Pei Youan was made to breathe tight by the wild jump of his eyelids.

Is something bad about happening?

Originally, he was supposed to be on duty, but because he heard that Xie Xun had returned from vacation today, he was hungry to see Xie Xun, or to inquire about the news of the big project, or to find Xie Xun a little unhappy.

He was stretching his neck to look out, but he saw An Shun, a close confidant eunuch next to the emperor, walking in and looking at him with a smile.

The emperor is looking for him?

Pei Youan couldn't help frowning, thinking of the sudden jumping eyelids.

"Deputy Commander Pei, the emperor summoned you." Anshun said with a smile.

Xie Jia, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but show envy. He had smashed the emperor's errand before, but he was afraid that the emperor would not want to see him in the near future.

Pei You'an was a little frightened, inexplicably uneasy, took out a purse and stuffed it into An Shun's hand, "Why did the emperor suddenly summon me?" ”

An Shun smiled silently, but pushed the purse back to Pei Youan.

Pei Youan chuckled, and his face turned white.

When did these eunuchs who served by the emperor's side refuse silver?

It seems that something really bad~

"Deputy Commander Pei, you better hurry up and go with our family."

Pei Youan followed An Shun to the imperial study with trepidation, and on the way, he bumped into Xie Xun head-on.

Xie Xun grinned, "Yo, Commander Pei, long time no see~ "

Pei Youan was in no mood to pay attention to Xie Xun at the moment, and his mind was full of thoughts about what the emperor was looking for him?

Moreover, he always felt that Xie Xun's smile just now was full of deep meaning, which made him more and more uneasy.

"Xie Shizi, if you don't go to the canteen, I'm afraid you will run out of food." An Shun urged this prince who was not afraid of big things to leave, he was really afraid that Pei Youan would faint in fright, and he would not be able to deal with the emperor.

Xie Xun threw Pei Youan a look of self-begging, and then shook the jade bone fan and left with angry steps.

Pei Youan naturally received that look, and it was like five thunderbolts, and the hand that grabbed An Shun trembled slightly.

"Father-in-law, please remind you to ...... one or two"

An Shun sighed, then Xie Shizi is a person who is afraid of chaos!

"Deputy Commander Pei is afraid that he is going to break some money this time~"

Pei Youan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he is now really wealthy, and it is not a problem to give the emperor 1.8 million.

Everything that money can solve is not a problem!

However, when he heard the figures reported by the emperor, Pei Youan couldn't help but feel bitter.

Eight million taels!

The emperor actually asked him for eight million taels, otherwise he would have to hand over all the seized property!

It is true that there are tens of millions of taels of property that have been sold, but he sent most of them to his father, and yesterday he lent one million each to the Gao family and the four princes, and now in his hands, plus those jewels that have not been sold, there are about eight million taels of silver? Maybe because he was in a hurry to sell out, the price was lowered, and he had to add some more.

The emperor's abacus is too accurate!

When Anshun went to pass on people, the more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that he still had to calculate the accounts accurately. He is now a poor emperor, thirty or fifty thousand taels is also money, and the concubines used to reward the servants are not bad. He simply called the person who was the best at settling accounts in the inner library, pulled the abacus, added the news from all parties, and then erased the odds, after all, he was the emperor, and he couldn't let the courtiers feel that he was too careful~

Of course, the odds were rounded up, and then it went from more than seven million to eight million.

Pei Youan complained bitterly, and couldn't help but beg softly, "Your Majesty, the property obtained by the ministers and bandits ......"

"I know how much money you have." The emperor interrupted with a straight face, "You transferred troops without the approval of the imperial court......

"Your Majesty, the minister will go back immediately to collect the money!"

Seeing that the emperor wants to buckle his hat, where does Pei Youan dare to feel sorry for the silver?

It's still the same sentence, the problems that money can solve are not the problem, let's coax the emperor first!

The emperor's dragon heart is happy, Pei You'an kneels on the front foot, and the emperor swings the harem on the back foot.

I have the silver, and I can finally be fortunate with the concubine, so I have to relax and relax tonight......

Xie Xun received the news and stroked his palms and laughed three times.

The emperor is really powerful!

At this time, the Pei family was beaten back to its original form, and the Gao family became a difficult brother, see how Pei Youan is still a demon in the capital?

It is true that he was greedy for the gold and silver treasures that Pei Youan had gathered by the bandits, but he didn't plan to get the flowers himself. If he wants to get it, he can get it, and it will take a little more effort, but it will cause the eyes of many forces, and even attack, it is better to sell it to the emperor. Although the emperor would not change his opinion of him and the Xie family at all because he sold well, or even more jealous of him, it was able to slightly calm the emperor's rising anger because of poverty.

Moreover, there is that big project hanging, and the silver that the emperor got from Pei You'an is not going to go into his pocket in the end?

"Second brother, what are you laughing at?" Shega asked.

Since being released, Xie Jia has changed his strategy in dealing with Xie Xun, no longer competing with each other openly, but playing a scene of brotherly harmony with Xie Xun.

Didn't my father and grandfather want that?

He'll show them!

When they believed, he offered to be involved in the running of the shops. This idea was inspired by Xie Qin, the fourth brother of Shu.

No wonder I saw Xie Qin floating out of the surf pavilion in a trance twice before, and it turned out that he was reused by his father!

In Xie Jia's heart, the reason why Xie Qin was able to manage the "East China Sea Morning Post" was because he won Xie Shangshu's trust. He actually coveted Xie Xun's money-making shops very much, and he was drooling in his dreams, but he asked the emperor to marry the daughter of the Gao family before his father, and his father must have been angry, plus he has been competing with Xie Xun since he came back, whether it is his father or Xie Xun, it is impossible for him to interfere in the affairs of the shop.

What if he lived in peace with Xie Xun from now on?

Huairou may not be able to do it, but it is certainly not possible to continue to compete.

Of course, there is another reason why he chose Huairou, that is, Gao Shiqing sent someone to tell him that because the ship was robbed, the Gao family suffered heavy losses, and Ru Niang's dowry was only afraid that it would be less.

Although Xie Jia was detained in the Zhenguo Mansion, he would send people out every day to inquire about the situation, the situation of the Gao family, he knew a little about it, and heard that Gao Shiqing didn't even have the money to hold a poetry meeting, and Runiang's dowry was only afraid that it would not be less, maybe it would all become face-saving goods!

Ru Niang's dowry is almost equal to nothing, and he has few money and months, how to live after marriage? It is definitely impossible for the Wu family to make up for their husband and wife all the time.

He also thought about making two shops by himself, but he was really not good at business, and for twenty-two years, he had never even touched the account books, and he didn't know that he was fooled by the hired steward.

Sometimes he can't help but wonder why the second brother can do those things with ease in the past 18 years, so why can the second brother do those things with ease?

Seeing those account books, doesn't the second brother feel a headache?

In fact, when Xie Xun first saw the dense ledgers in the registration place, he also had a headache and eyes. Later, he summoned the chief steward of the Xie clan and taught modern bookkeeping methods overnight. The modern way of bookkeeping is simple and clear, and those in charge have applauded, and there is no one who does not study seriously. Although there were some stumbles in bookkeeping at the beginning, after a month, everything was changed, and Xie Xun's eyes and head no longer hurt......
