Chapter 122: Spending money to buy peace
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, and then a heavy look of greed flashed on their faces.
They are all veterans of the business, and everyone knows what this news means to them.
The people at the bottom have no money, but the taxes of the imperial court and the money needed for life are all inevitable things.
In order to live and survive, these people must find a way to live, and the best way is to mortgage the heaven and earth mansion in their hands.
As long as they start mortgaging, then they, the rich people, take the opportunity to buy in large quantities.
At any time, these homesteads are the foundation of their lives, and if they are in troubled times, they are the most important things.
Miao Yutang looked at everyone's expressions and knew that their thoughts were the same as his own, but he couldn't say these words.
"Since you all understand, then I don't have to say some things so clearly, as long as the four of us work together this time, presumably the imperial court can't really make a move against us."
"As for the money, as long as the court wants it, what if it is all given to them?"
"I also heard that there is a capable person in Xianyang City who has made refined salt, if he can get this refined salt in his hands, he will not care about these things outside his body."
These words obviously spoke to everyone's hearts, and everyone present also set their eyes on Miao Yutang.
Li Gaoyi sat there lazily, a mocking smile on his face.
He looked at Miao Yutang's eyes and was not so kind, and even looked a little unconvinced.
"There is nothing wrong with the words of the Miao family master, and no one knows about the refined salt."
"Will the imperial court give it so easily?"
"This time, I was asked to wait to go to Xianyang City, and a decree was issued, that is, I was asked to wait for the salt field in my hand, what should I do with it then?"
"Don't forget, although we businessmen are rich, we are still lowly people in Daqin."
The meaning of his words was obviously inciting these people's rebellion against Great Qin.
Although some people have the slightest credibility in his words, Rong Ming, who is timid and afraid, disagrees.
He retorted in a low voice: "Presumably, Your Majesty can't offend us like this, but it depends on our attitude towards the imperial court, as long as we are satisfied with the imperial court, then Your Majesty will not embarrass us." ”
"It's better for us to take out 5,000 gold each into Xianyang, so that Your Majesty can see the sincerity of our waiting."
"In this way, you can save your family business."
Daqin's gold is about 588 yuan, and the thousand gold will cost more than 500,000 yuan, and the 6,000 gold is not a small amount.
Taking out so much money at one time is the degree of cutting meat for each family, and everyone's face shows some embarrassment, not only is it reluctant to make so much money, but more importantly, it is not easy to get together for a while.
However, if you can really exchange 5,000 gold for a piece of family property, no one will refuse.
But now, everyone has their own ideas, and no one agrees to it at the first time.
In the end, Miao Yutang said: "Everyone go back and think about it." ”
"It's going to leave in less than three days, you better decide as soon as possible, otherwise when you arrive in Xianyang City, the decision will not be in the hands of me and waiting."
……
Now that the corruption case has come to an end, the things that those officials who were taken into Xianyang Prison by Zhao Gao have also been investigated clearly by the Tingwei Mansion.
Although some people are not involved in this corruption, everyone has some problems in their hands to a greater or lesser extent.
As for those officials who colluded with Zhao Gao and participated in the embezzlement of disaster relief funds, they were directly locked up again.
Naturally, these things can't be hidden from Yingzheng, and he has a big temper in the palace.
Unexpectedly, the officials raised by the imperial court with their old age turned out to be a group of roe deer.
was very depressed in his heart, and Ying Zheng came to Xianyang Prison alone.
Seeing Ran Fangzheng sitting there writing leisurely, and there was a pot of peony flowers in full bloom next to him, it was really a quiet time.
Ying Zheng's eyes were a little envious, envious of Ran Fang being so natural, and his heart was not disturbed by anything.
"Ahem."
Hearing Ying Zheng's deliberate coughing, Ran Fang's hand moved, sighed before raising his head, but lowered his head again when he saw the person coming.
There is no respect at all, and even in that action and eyes, there is some disgust.
This made Ying Zheng feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't understand why Ran Fang had this attitude towards him.
However, he didn't care at all, and took the initiative to step forward and sit opposite Ran Fang, without glancing at Fusu, who was standing there stiffly.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Oligo...... Where did I offend Mr.? ”
Hearing his words, Ran Fang raised his head and glanced at Ying Zheng, who was a little puzzled.
He glanced at Fusu who was standing, and his eyes did not miss Fusu's careful movements and nervous eyes.
However, nothing was shown on his face, and he still had a faint look.
"Nope."
"It's just that there are a lot of people in prison these days, and it's really a bit noisy."
"I can't help but miss the old days, this prison was a quiet place, but now it has become a busy city."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Yingzheng to express his position, so he asked, "I don't know what happened when Uncle Su came here today?" ”
Ying Zheng knew what Ran Fang meant, in order to investigate the arrested officials in the past few days, Tingwei Mansion had to come to Xianyang Prison every day, take some people to investigate, and then send people back.
Xianyang Prison, which was originally unattended, had people coming in and out every day, and there was even the sound of torture, which was indeed a lot noisy.
Even so, Ying Zheng looked unaware and asked, "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”
"This Xianyang Prison is an important place, how can anyone come here often?"
Ran Fang couldn't help but glance at him, the matter of the investigation officials had been in an uproar in the past few days, and he often heard the news from other people.
and Qi Cao also came to tell him that now the whole Xianyang City is paying attention to this matter, and they all want to see the ending of these officials, and some people even opened a gamble for this, betting on which official can't get out of this Xianyang prison.
But the person in front of him seemed to have no idea about this matter, which was too fake.
Ran Fang glanced at him a few more times and asked bluntly, "Doesn't Uncle Su know?" ”
"Uncle Su is a businessman, so he should pay more attention to the major affairs of the court, why does he not know anything about this matter?"
Ying Zheng originally knew, but he was afraid that Ran Fang would see the clue, so he lied.
He didn't expect this matter to cause such a big storm in Xianyang City, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Helpless, he had to smile awkwardly, "Hehe, Mr. said he was laughing." ”
"The affairs of the house have been too busy these days, so I have not paid attention to the affairs of the court."
"However, the officials of the court and the central government actually acted like this, not only embezzling but also colluding in private, this is definitely not a good thing for Daqin, and I don't know how Your Majesty will deal with it?"
"If you just let these people go like this, I'm afraid that the country of Great Qin will also be in danger......"
