When Zhu Houzhao mentioned that he and Jiang Xia opened Xiaoyao Villa together, it was just to make it easier for him to find Jiang Xia to play, but Zhu Houzhao only now knew that this Xiaoyao Villa was too profitable. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
Indeed, there are five industries in Xiaoyao Villa: gambling, pawnshop, catering, accommodation, and green building, each of which is very profitable. In addition, Xiaoyao Villa takes the boutique route, and the people who come to consume are all either rich or expensive, plus it has just opened, and most people come to draw a fresh, so they have earned so much silver in just one month.
However, although 40,000 taels of silver is a lot, it is only the tip of the iceberg for the amount that Zhu Houzhao really needs. However, Zhu Houzhao couldn't say anything more for the time being, he nodded and said, "Then thank you big brother for helping me get through this difficulty." ”
"What are we two brothers thankful for. Jiang Xia said with a smile.
But then Jiang Xia saw that Zhu Houzhao was still not very interested, and he couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, second brother, are there still troubles?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and he said: "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, although my family has been in business for generations, there are also relatives in the family who work in the imperial court. In terms of grade, the highest is my uncle. Uncle He is an official who worships the second grade, and he is the servant of the household. Before I came here today, I met my uncle, and my uncle told me that the emperor had given him a problem, and he couldn't think of a solution after meditating, and I was afraid that he would be punished by the emperor later.
Big brother, you don't know, the rise and fall of our family is basically supported by the uncle, if he falls"
"Understood, understood. When Zhu Houzhao said this, Jiang Xia didn't feel strange, but felt a little relieved.
He has always been speculating about what Zhu Houzhao's identity is, from knowing him to the present, whether it is Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yong, or Liu Jin, all of them make Jiang Xia feel that Zhu Houzhao's background must be extraordinary. Now hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Jiang Xia naturally thought of him as the son of a big family.
Such an identity is very in line with Zhu Houzhao's style on weekdays, so Jiang Xia asked: "Second brother, tell me, what problem did the emperor have for your uncle?"
Zhu Houzhao said: "The drought in Henan, disaster relief requires 300,000 taels of silver. The northern border passes were in turmoil, and the military salaries of the soldiers at the border gates were in arrears for many months, and they needed more than 400,000 taels of silver. And now the treasury of the imperial court can only take out 400,000 taels of silver. What the emperor means now is that the drought needs to be saved, and the military salary is required, and then let my uncle find a way. ”
"Yo, the emperor is quite shameless, and he is a scoundrel directly. ”
As soon as Jiang Xia said this, Zhu Houzhao's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and his unnatural expression thought that Zhu Houzhao was worried in Jiang Xia's opinion, Jiang Xia smiled and waved his hand and said, "Second brother, you don't have to worry, this matter is actually easy to solve." ”
"How to solve it?" Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned and immediately asked.
Jiang Xia said: "First we have to figure out the essence of these two things. First, the drought in Henan must be saved. This is because once the victims are hungry, they will want to rebel, which will affect the safety of Daming Society. Second, the military salary of the soldiers at the border pass in the north should be because the soldiers at the border pass have been in arrears for a long time, and their morale will be low, and they will not fight with their lives when they encounter Tatar disturbance on the border. ”
"Yes, that's right. Zhu Houzhao nodded.
Jiang Xia said slightly: "After figuring out the essence of the two things, things will be much easier to handle." The next step is to take only three steps to solve all the problems. ”
"Three steps, which three steps?" Zhu Houzhao immediately asked anxiously.
But when he got here, Jiang Xia sold Guanzi, he glanced at the jade wrench on Zhu Houzhao's hand, and he muttered: "Second brother, eldest brother, I was about to practice archery recently, and I just happened to lack a wrench, do you know where it is sold? I want to buy a better one." ”
"Big brother, let's talk about your three steps first, what jade are you mentioning to me at this time" Zhu Houzhao originally looked anxious, but suddenly he saw Jiang Xia's eyes looking directly at the wrench in his hand, and Zhu Houzhao immediately understood. He couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "No, big brother, you also calculate your brother's things?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Where, where." The eldest brother came from a poor mountainous area, and he just wanted to find someone to help the poor if he had nothing to do. ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh and took off the jade wrench on his thumb and handed it to Jiang Xia, he said with some anxiety: "Big brother, let's talk about it." If you can help me solve the problem, I will give you this wrench, if you can't solve it."
"If you can't solve it, I'll compensate you ten, cough cough" Jiang Xia coughed dryly and said: "Second brother, listen to your eldest brother's plan." ”
"The solution is a three-step process. First, divide the 400,000 taels of silver into two parts and transport them to Henan and the northern border respectively. Inform them that this is only the first batch of silver taels and military salaries for disaster relief, and the second batch of silver is on the way.
After completing the first step, the hearts of the victims of the Henan disaster and the soldiers at the border should be able to stabilize first, and we have a period of time at the moment. During this time, we immediately raise money, and this is the second step.
After raising the silver, a flying pigeon was sent to the local officials, so that the local officials could hype up when the second batch of silver would arrive. Then the money will be delivered on time. How's that going? That's a good three-step plan, isn't it?"
Zhu Houzhao's brows immediately furrowed after hearing this, and he said, "The plan is good, but what is the method of raising money?"
Jiang Xia rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, second brother, your jade pendant is very good." ”
Zhu Houzhao angrily took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia smiled, took the jade pendant with both hands, and said cheaply: "Thank you boss, thank you boss." ”
After receiving the jade pendant, Jiang Xia did not sell Guan Zi again, but said directly: "It is very simple to raise money, you go back and tell your uncle, if he believes me, this matter will be handed over to me." But I needed a few things, and he had to get them ready for me. ”
"What is it?" asked Zhu Houzhao.
"Twenty decrees. ”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned.
"My lord, not long after the court meeting, the emperor came out of the palace and went directly to Xiaoyao Villa. The subordinates waited outside the villa until the afternoon when the emperor came out of the villa. ”
In Li Dongyang's study, Jun Yang was reporting to Li Dongyang that he was tracking Zhu Houzhao.
I heard Jun Yang say that Zhu Houzhao went to Xiaoyao Villa as soon as he dispersed, and stayed there for so long. Li Dongyang couldn't help but sigh, and said with a somewhat heavy expression: "The emperor is addicted, addicted"
Li Dongyang supported his forehead with both hands, he thought for a while and suddenly raised his head and said, "No, I can't let the emperor sink like this, that Jiangxia can't stay." ”
At night, Jiang Xia was playing Tai Chi in the courtyard.
The true qi in the body is disordered and uncontrollable, and Jiang Xia can't do too intense exercise, so he can only play Tai Chi and borrow Tai Chi Yuanyi to straighten out the true qi in his body.
Since the crossing, Jiang Xia has always been a little confused about the true qi in his body, and on weekdays it is completely uncontrollable, but every time he encounters danger, these true qi will obediently go to the dantian and let him mobilize it.
As a person who practiced martial arts, Jiang Xia knew that there were many masters in the past, especially in ancient times like now. Although Jiang Xia has never met a real master, he likes to plan ahead, and he hopes that if he meets one day, he will not even have the strength to fight back.
Jiang Xia finished a set of Tai Chi boxing, and was just about to try to practice the light footwork of "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada". Suddenly, Jiang Xia felt a sudden chill in his vest.
As soon as this feeling rose, Jiang Xia immediately threw himself forward and rolled on the ground, and it was precisely because of this action that he dodged the killing sword stabbed behind him.
After Jiang Xia's body rolled twice, his right hand slapped violently, and his body rose up and rolled twice to stand still. Jiang Xia looked at the person, and the true qi in his body was really like before, and when he encountered danger, he automatically arrived at the dantian. Feeling the full strength in his body, Jiang Xia suddenly felt a little sure in his heart.
The person who came was dressed in black, his face was covered, and he couldn't see his face clearly. I only know that he must be a man, quite tall, and wielding a long sword.
The man in black was about to make a move, Jiang Xia stretched out his right hand to stop him: "Wait a minute, can Your Excellency report your name and explain why you want to kill me, so that I can die?"
The man in black didn't say a word, a killing aura emanated from his body, and he swung a long sword in his right hand in a semicircle. Looking at that stance, it was obvious that this was a master of swordsmanship.
The man in black was just about to make a move, when Jiang Xia shouted again: "Wait a minute, if it's a hero, let us fight a fair battle, wait for me to get my sword." ”
Jiang Xia paused as soon as the man in black said this, he put away his posture after thinking about it, and the long sword pointed diagonally at the ground and nodded slightly to Jiang Xia, meaning that Jiang Xia was allowed to take the sword and have a fair duel with him.
As soon as the man in black retreated, Jiang Xia immediately pulled his throat and shouted: "Someone, help! There is a ** who wants to kill me, if I die, no one will give you the monthly silver this month!!"
The man in black had a black line, where did he expect Jiang Xia to be so shameless.
Under the moonlight, a white rainbow flashed between them, and the long sword in the hand of the man in black went straight to the Jiangxia level.
Jiang Xia's body went to the side, and he slapped the man in black with his backhand. The man in black took a step back, but Jiang Xia took seven steps back.
"It's so powerful. ”
Jiang Xia clutched his chest, only to feel the qi and blood in his body rolling. He looked at the man in black and knew that he had met a master this time. His expression became serious, and he took a step forward with his right foot slightly, and posed in the immovable posture of "Nine Piles of Soldiers".
Don't move the pile, imagine yourself as if you are in the middle of the sea, let the waves come and go, and you will not move.
