Chapter 44: So Profitable
"What the emperor said is holy will, do you dare to resign?"
Han King Zhu Gaoxu stood aside angrily, seemingly very dissatisfied with Wang Siqi's words, and his eyes revealed a bit of unkindness.
It doesn't matter whether Wang Siqi can be attributed to him or not.
The important thing is that if this person is really talented, then if he can transfer this person away from his eldest brother, it will be a good thing for him, so Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to of course choose to step forward as soon as possible to fan the flames.
Zhu Di also said with interest: "Why? People always say that birds choose good trees to perch, and the Baoyuan Bureau is not a good place, which is far worse than the Tai Hospital I promised you. ”
"Could it be that I think it's a shame for me to let you go to the Tai Hospital?"
Poor, of course poor.
As long as Wang Siqi is not a fool, he knows the gap between the two.
But compared to being a medical officer, Wang Siqi is more concerned about the degree of freedom of the Baoyuan Bureau that is absolutely incomparable to that in the palace, so he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't feel that he is condescending, but where the official is is not for the benefit of the country and the people, maybe the status is high, but everything he does is for the sake of the court, and you share your worries for the emperor." ”
These words made Zhu Di, who had always felt that Wang Siqi was just the son of a loser in Qingyuan's Bo Wang You's family, a little stunned for a while, and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "If you are an official in the world, you will have such an awareness, and you will not fight openly and secretly all day long, and internal friction will continue." ”
"Since you don't want to change it, then don't change it."
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han on the side, was a little anxious, and hurriedly walked in front of Zhu Di and said: "Father, the current condition of the queen mother is critical, since this son has this talent, why not stay in the hospital?" ”
Zhu Gaochi saw this.
If he doesn't understand it, then he is not worthy of being this prince.
He didn't understand that this was the Han King Zhu Gaochu who wanted to use Zhu Di's hand to weaken the cards in his hand, that is, to weaken the power of his own faction.
So he hurriedly said bluntly: "Father, Wang Siqi's position as the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau is indeed not wasted, but the development of the Baoyuan Bureau is in a good way. ”
"Oh? Tell me more about it. ”
Zhu Di was obviously interested.
So when Zhu Gaochi saw this, he organized Wang Siqi in the Baoyuan Bureau for a period of time, except for the idle craftsmen necessary for coinage, and used the wine-making business not only to develop alcohol, but more importantly, to start a business of selling wine.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han on the side, listened to Zhu Gaochi's words.
All of a sudden, his eyes were red.
Liquor!
This is a real business, isn't this a great thing to make money?
Stay in the East Palace, it's okay.
Nowadays, who is not short of money, from the emperor, to the court, to the people of small households, who does not want to have more silver in their hands.
What's more, it's the princes who don't have much serious way to make money.
So he hurriedly said: "Father, this Wang Siqi actually used the craftsmen of the court to make profits for himself, in my opinion, he is clearly filling his own pockets!" ”
Zhu Di's eyes were also a lot colder.
looked at Wang Siqi lightly and said, "If you can't explain it to me today, it means that your father is here, and I will punish you." ”
Hear this.
Wang Siqi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
This Zhu Gaochi is really stupid and cute.. At this time, he actually shook off all the things he had done during this time without any scruples, but fortunately he didn't come into contact with Baoyuan Aging and the internal affairs of the Baoyuan Bureau, otherwise he might be able to make a big basket.
So Wang Siqi hurriedly stepped forward.
He began to explain to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not filling their own pockets, the main reason is that the Baoyuan Bureau is poor... If you want to better serve the emperor's grace, you have to have money in your hands to be able to do things. ”
"Nonsense! The Baoyuan Bureau is related to the coinage of the imperial court, as long as it can be minted steadily, what do you want so much money for? ”
"But the craftsmen's life is hard!"
"It's so much better than before!"
"It's far worse than the outside!"
Between the rivalries, between Zhu Di and Wang Siqi, there was a faint smell of gunpowder.
At this time, Zhu Di said coldly: "Since you are a craftsman, you naturally have to do things for the imperial court, could it be that what you did in the Baoyuan Bureau didn't give you any benefit for yourself?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has hit the Baoyuan Bureau, and it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver just to make alcohol and build a wine workshop, which are all brought by the minister from home. But it did not encroach on the silver minted by the imperial court at all. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaoxu on the side was stunned.
Didn't make money out of your pocket?
Then Donggong always makes money.
So Zhu Gaoxu said bluntly: "Then didn't you make money for the prince?" You say you have not filled your pockets, who will testify against you? ”
...
That's when it happened.
A voice suddenly came from the side: "I testify." ”
"I'll testify to this kid too."
Not far away, the eunuch looked at the two men who had just broken in with a somewhat bitter expression, just because these two people were Wang You, the Qing Yuan Bo and Chen Xian, the Rong Chang Bo of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di saw the two coming.
I couldn't help laughing and said: "I just said, you should come too, I brought your sons to the palace, can you sit still in the mansion?" ”
"The emperor is really like a god."
"Come on."
Wang You looked at Wang Siqi on the side and didn't change anything, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"You two testify to this kid, I want to hear how you two fathers and godfathers are going to testify to your two sons."
Although the words seemed to be business-like, in fact, Zhu Di's face was already completely convinced of what Wang Siqi said, and there was still a little smile on his face when he asked.
Wang You didn't open his mouth.
Chen Xian, who has always had a fiery personality, couldn't help but say loudly: "This kid's wine business is done with my son, who is not angry, and when he came back today, he told me that he actually sold 10,000 taels of silver a day, which almost frightened me." ”
"Ten thousand taels?"
Zhu Di was stunned.
"Yes! Your Majesty, who would have known that in this business, you would be able to earn so much silver, right! When I first heard this, I had the same expression as your current face, Your Majesty. ”
"How can you make so much money?"
"Is it so profitable to sell alcohol?"
Chen and Wang didn't speak, but turned their eyes to Wang Siqi on the side.
"Your Majesty.. This wine is indeed a little more profitable..."
"A little? Do you know how much 10,000 taels of silver is? ”
"I know.."
"And what else do you say?"
When Zhu Gaochi was talking, he just said that Wang Siqi had built a wine shop in Baoyuan Bureau, and now he can not only sell alcohol, but also sell some wine in the market.
But I didn't say it, this wine! You can earn 10,000 taels a day!
