Chapter 70: Borrowing Silver
Red flags and firecrackers are fired.
The lights are colorful, and the guests are endless.
Countless thousands of styles...
In the market, a child-looking child couldn't help but raise his head to look at his mother after seeing this scene, and said, "Mother... It's so lively over there, what are you doing? Could it be that there is a bride? ”
The young woman also glanced at it, but was a little unsure.
"May. Maybe, right? ”
.....
The Baoyuan Bureau and the Baoyuan Lifting Division were officially merged, but it was the same as what Wang Siqi and Zhu Gaochi had discussed. I want all the land, I don't want any silver, mainly because Zhu Di's temperament will definitely not keep the extra silver to himself.
Officials don't want it, and no craftsman can be missing.
According to Wang Siqi's request, the Baoyuan Lifting Division and the Baoyuan Bureau became relatives.
"Today! It is a big day for us to treasure the source of things... Thank you for being with us today. ”
"Not only in the Baoyuan Bureau, but also in the workshops, wineries and stores under the Baoyuan Bureau, they will celebrate this good day with us today!"
"The Baoyuan Bureau and the Baoyuan Lifting Division merged to establish the Daming Baoyuan Bureau."
"From now on, I have to rely on your care..."
Sitting in the courtyard of the Baoyuan Bureau, Xu Min frowned, and the thoughts in his heart didn't know how far they had drifted. Qi Demao sat beside Xu Min a little nervously, paying full attention to the delicacies that might be delivered in a while.
"How's it going?"
"Ahh Brother-in-law.. What? ”
Xu Min, who was slightly angry, continued: "I mean, what happened to all those woods... Can it still be sold? ”
"Brother-in-law.. Didn't you say before that the Ministry of Engineering came forward to buy all the wood? At this moment, I can't find a customer to take over. ”
"Something went wrong."
Xu Min, who had a gloomy face, looked at Wang Siqi in the distance, and couldn't stop being suspicious and curious.
He didn't understand why it was so decided.
Being able to change so much in a short period of time made Xu Min feel a little at a loss.
But Zidmao's next words.
made Xu Min even more dumbfounded.
"Can't sell... Brother-in-law, why don't you sell them all to the Ministry of Industry! ”
"Fart, how can the Ministry of Industry take out so much silver in a moment and a half, and even if there is so much silver, it is impossible to use it all to buy wood."
Xu Min's words made Qi Demao, who was still expecting, a little stunned, and said stumblingly: "How is this possible? ”
"The Ministry of Industry has to buy wood."
"That's true, but you won't be able to buy so much for a while... However, the price of this thing has been quite stable, and it can be used no matter where the construction is carried out, so tomorrow you can quickly find a way to make some first.."
"Okay!"
The merger of the Baoyuan Bureau and the Baoyuan Lifting Division was held under the instruction of Wang Siqi, and many officials in Beijing even took the opportunity to come to visit the city.
Wang You looked proud.
Looking at Chen Xian sitting beside him, he didn't care about any high-sounding face, but said with a smile: "See? Even in a small treasure source bureau, it can stir up different storms. ”
"It's worthy of my son, all right."
Holding a small wine glass in his hand, Chen Xian was convinced.
After all, like Wang You, in the eyes of a big old man, it is not a good thing to ask for a future in the barracks like Chen Zhi.
"Good! This kid has a lot of talent.. is stronger than us, the days of licking blood at the knife edge are really unreliable, and it is not bad to be a good official. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, but their eyes turned to Wang Siqi and Chen Zhi in the center of the crowd from time to time.
......
Following.
Zhu Gaochi took a lot of guards from the East Palace, and appeared outside the door of the Baoyuan Bureau after the merger, although it was merged, the place of the Baoyuan Bureau would not change in a short period of time.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! I didn't expect you.. I also came in person. ”
Wang Siqi greeted Zhu Gaochi with a smile on his face.
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand again and again and said, "Between you and me, there is no neatness." ”
"I don't say those useless words, I'm here today for a purpose... Ask for money! ”
Frowning slightly.
Wang Siqi couldn't help but ask, "What's the big deal?" ”
"Well, my father may have to use troops against the north again, and although I don't want to be fighting all the time, there is no way to avoid it."
"The other thing is... Recently, there has been a strange thing, the price of giant trees in the capital has skyrocketed in just a few days, to be precise, those good products that can be used are really hard to find. ”
"The construction of the capital in the north has been dragged down by a lot of resistance, and Wu Zhong of the Ministry of Industry is crying for his father every day."
So many words in one breath.
Wang Siqi listened to it in one breath.
His face remained the same, without much change, but he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "One hundred thousand taels, I can only get so much silver at most now, and the share is after the matter is completed, so if you take the one hundred thousand taels, you have to give me an IOU." ”
"Good! You asked my Royal Highness the Prince of Ming to give you an IOU? ”
Zhu Gaochi didn't look good, and when he spoke, he was a little angry, so that the flesh on his body ran along.
"That's 100,000 taels."
"I'm the crown prince!"
"It's a hundred thousand taels..."
"I just did something for you."
"One hundred thousand.."
"Well, I'll write!"
Bringing Zhu Gaochi into the study of the side room, Wang Siqi personally took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said after arranging them one by one: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a saying that this IOU should be beaten... I'll teach you exactly what to write, and do as I say. ”
"Even if there is any problem in the future... Even if the lawsuit is brought to the emperor, I am also reasonable! ”
Zhu Gaochi was not happy when he heard it.
Eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What?" Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still fail to pay his debts? ”
"Uhhh Probably, perhaps, a little. ”
"Huh?"
"Write first."
After the strip was played, at the request of Wang Siqi, Zhu Gaochi left the prince's exclusive golden seal, and then he was satisfied and carefully put it away.
Then he beckoned Wang Yihuan and said: "From the accounts of the Baoyuan Bureau, count 100,000 taels of silver and send it to the East Palace, remember... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be allowed to suffer. ”
"Understood!"
After Zhu Gaochi left, Wang Siqi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Whispered.
"Being an official is like doing business, but there are losses and gains in business, but there are gains and losses in being an official, this reason is understood... It doesn't seem to be that hard. ”
Mixing with Zhu Gaochi on the same road is not the best choice in the long run, but at the moment, Wang Siqi is happy.
