Xie Xun knew what the emperor wanted?

Isn't it paper armor crafting?

The paper armor building technique has always been in Xie Shi's hands, and the dog emperor has to toss and turn at night to sleep.

Xie Xun pretended to be annoyed and scratched his head, "Yes, the minister is also a little worried." Why don't you go back and discuss with your father and sell one or two more drawings? ”

The Emperor nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I think so, too. Go ahead and talk to your father sooner. The land south of the city is still waiting for the silver! ”

Thinking of the muddy project in the south of the city, the emperor was comfortable.

Unexpectedly, the two foxes of the Xie family, who have been cunning for half their lives, have indulged in this world. If it were him, he would have preferred to put the silver in the treasury to become moldy, rather than let this ruined man take it to disaster.

However, it is precisely because of that land that he, the emperor, can see the jokes of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Xie family!

Xie Xun also nodded again and again, "Chen, I'll go back to my father." ”

Dog Emperor, for the sake of today's trouble, I will coax you first!

The emperor was anxious to let Xie Xun discuss Xie Shangshu's sale of drawings, so naturally he would not detain Xie Xun in the palace, and even gave him a holiday, saying that it was to give him time to recuperate.

Pei Youan and the four princes were stunned when they heard Xie Xun leave the palace with all his beards and tails.

"It's all like that, why did you let him hide again?" Pei Youan roared angrily.

The eunuch who came to deliver the news said with some schadenfreude, "It took tens of millions of taels to avoid the disaster, I heard that I have gone back to discuss with Xie Shangshu that I want to sell two more drawings for silver, so that they can be used for the project in the south of the city." ”

A thought crossed Pei Youan's mind, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Can you say what drawings you want to sell?" ”

The eunuch shook his head, "I didn't say that. ”

"There are only a few things left and right, ice-making, cotton cloth machines, and paper armor building techniques!" The Four Princes were not very interested in the paper armor crafting technique, so they put it at the end.

He turned his head to look at Xie Jia, who was standing behind, "How is the matter of your seizure of the throne?" Didn't you say that today, I asked the elders of the Xie clan to force Xie Shangshu and Old Lady Xie to agree to set up another son? ”

When they met, they were attracted by Xie Xun's big commotion in Dongshi, and the fourth prince even forgot the reason for summoning Xie Jia. He is the prince, and it stands to reason that it is best not to see the courtiers in the palace, which will arouse the suspicion of his father, but he really can't wait to know the result.

When it came to the matter of the old Xie clan, Xie Jia felt bitter in his heart. He was busy, not only did he not get rid of the second brother Xie Xun's son, but it made those clan elders more determined to support the second brother Xie Xun to continue to be the son of the Zhenguo Mansion!

Later, he went to find the Seventh Master, but was reprimanded by the Seventh Master for a good meal. The seventh master is the highest ranking in the clan, Xie Jia was scolded, and he didn't dare to refute half a word. In fact, he couldn't argue with it.

What he did before was indeed a betrayal of the Xie family.

Now, he has been given to marry the daughter of the Pei family, even if he wants to withdraw, he can't do it, so he can only continue to follow the four princes with his head down, secretly thinking in his heart: When the four princes ascend the throne, those people will know that his choice today is the right one! At that time, he will be the hero who will keep the entire Xie clan, and everyone in the Xie clan will come to flatter him.

He is strong and strong, unlike the short-lived second brother Xie Xun, he can afford to wait!

When the fourth prince saw Xie Jia hanging his head and didn't dare to speak, he knew that it must not have been done, and he couldn't help but sink his face angrily, "Captain Xie, you should also be attentive." Do you want this prince and Commander Pei to plow the treasury and pockets again to collect the silver for the drawings? ”

Xie Jialian said that he would work hard.

Pei Youan rubbed his chin and groaned, but he thought differently from the fourth prince. His family is a soldier, and he is naturally not like the four princes, he only thinks about making money.

Paper armor building, he wants!

He couldn't help but glance at Xie Jia, who was hanging his head and shrunching his shoulders, "Can you inquire which staff member of the Zhenguo Mansion created the paper armor building technique?" ”

Tens of millions of taels of silver, he definitely couldn't take it out, he decided to think of something else.

Xie Jia shook his head, "I don't know. This kind of thing is top secret, and only my father and the staff should know about it. ”

Pei Youan wants to scold the idiot, lazy worm, don't you know, won't you try your best to inquire?

"You have to find a way to find out and tell General Ben that General Ben is useful." Pei Youan still prefers to call himself a general.

Xie Jia naturally replied yes again and again.

"Then what if Xie Xun wants to sell the recipe for making ice and the drawings of the cotton machine?" The fourth prince asked.

Pei You'an suddenly scratched his heart and liver, he also wanted these two things, they were all hens that lay golden eggs, especially the cotton cloth, put it in the southwest towns, it would definitely make a lot of money.

"Your Highness, we can't scrape together any money." Pei Youan said with a bitter face.

The ready-to-wear and bicycle workshop under construction is like two tunnels that suck silver, and Pei Youan's pockets are almost emptied.

The purses of the four princes were also clean, and even the eunuchs who rewarded the news were picked and searched.

"What about you?" The fourth prince was so poor and crazy that he actually looked at Xie Xun, "You should have a body for yourself, right?" Otherwise, you ask your stepmother for some. Didn't you say that your stepmother's family wanted to take refuge in this prince? Let them first give five million taels to the prince, and the prince will accept the daughter of the Wu family as a widow. ”

When Pei Youan heard this, he was originally displeased, and he wanted to accept a concubine before marrying a concubine...... Thinking of five million taels of snowflake silver, he swallowed the words that reached the tip of his tongue again.

The girl is generally knowledgeable, if she knows that a widow can exchange five million taels of silver, she will definitely agree without hesitation.

No way, the Pei family is too poor now, if the four princes can get the silver and put it into the garment and bicycle workshop, they can also share the burden of the Pei family.

Xie Jia cursed in his heart.

A concubine, even if she is a high-grade widow, is still a concubine, but the fourth prince asks for five million taels with a lion's mouth!

The Wu family is also a big family, otherwise the Wu family would not be able to marry Xie Shangshu as a continuation, but the Wu family is not good at management, and has long been eating grain in Yin, Xie Jia also saw his stepmother Wu secretly let his cronies and grandmothers send their own silver back to Master Wu and Mrs. Wu.

"I'm afraid the Wu family won't be able to come up with so much silver......," Xie Jia muttered timidly.

"That's three million taels, no less. Otherwise, let the Wu family roll as far as they want, and this prince will not lack the support of people who are so picky. The four princes held their chins high, very arrogant and cold-blooded.

Xie Jia complained bitterly, not to mention three million taels, it is three hundred thousand taels, and the Wu family is afraid that they will not be able to take it out!

Where will the four princes and Pei Youan care about the difficulties of Xie Jia and the Wu family, they only know that they need silver, and if the Wu family can't give it, it will be a useless waste.

Waste son, do you still want your daughter to be the prince's concubine?

Dream on!

Xie Jia returned to the Zhenguo Mansion with a sad face, and cursed Xie Xun eight hundred times along the way. If it weren't for the fact that they were the same ancestor, maybe they would pull out Xie Xun's ancestor eight generations and curse them again.

If it weren't for Xie Xun's dead man making trouble in Dongshi, he would not have been involved in the sale of drawings, and the four princes would naturally not be short of money.

The more Xie Jia thought about it, the more he hated, and the roots of his teeth creaked, and suddenly, an old man walked past him with his head down.

His eyes lit up.

"Money is in charge!"

Xie Jia grabbed the old man's arm, "It's broad daylight, why did you go back to the house?" ”

Wasn't this money manager sent by his grandfather to help the second brother Xie Xun manage the Donghai Department Store?

Normally, Xie Jia would not see this old servant, but he was caught today, and he had to interrogate this old guy well.

He should know a lot of secrets about his second brother Xie Xun!
