Chapter 280: What's the Difference Between You and No?
Lord Qin's words are good, from his standpoint, as long as he can realize these idle things, even if it is a loss, it is okay.
Having said that, it seems that Wen Mianmian did take advantage, but who is Wen Mianmian, if she doesn't know anything when she is rich, it would be wrong, after all, she herself is thrifty.
"You must know that these materials are placed in the Ministry of Industry, even if they are put for another three or five years, they will not be useful, and they will not meet a buyer as big as me, who has the ability to empty the warehouse at one time, and you have to spend money on maintenance every year, and you have to spend a lot of silver."
"One hundred thousand taels, I will empty these materials; Add another 20,000 taels and dispose of all the paint, rockeries, big flower pots, and big water tanks in the warehouse. ”
This price stabbed Lord Qin's heart fiercely, and this cut it in half.
"Princess Annan, that's not how business is done."
What's the difference between this and robbing while it's hot?
Wen Mianmian smiled happily, "Lord Qin, you also know that my lord is looking rich, of course, he is not poor, but the cost of this half a mile is too big, and the return on investment is very slow, if I don't pay attention to it, it is not more than tens of thousands of taels, millions of dollars may be wow." ”
"That material can't be used left and right, and I can make the best use of it if I take it."
"Besides, I will also be from the imperial court after forty years of spending half a mile, and it can be said that I have been making money for the imperial court since the day it was built, if I am willing to go into the palace and cry poor, plus my father, it is possible to get the money without it."
Lord Qin felt that it was too difficult, seeing that the emperor was about to order General Wen to lead the troops to the battle, it was the time to rely on him, and General Wen was especially good at crying poor, and he had not been able to get money from the emperor's hands over the years, if he came forward in person, the emperor would really be able to give it to her with a wave of his hand.
After pondering for a long time in my heart, I finally gritted my teeth, "150,000 taels, all the idle things in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry are packed for you." ”
Wen Mianmian didn't give an inch, "Just 120,000 taels, how much is the big water tank worth, the rockery is good-looking, these things just look big, worthless." ”
Perhaps the most valuable thing is the paint and the old glazed tiles.
The two old gods of Mr. Wei and Mr. Zhao were sitting, and many of the things in the treasury were actually bought when they were in office, and they were all good things, even if it was 150,000 taels, they were also earned, not to mention that there were so many other things.
Lord Wei received his father's eyes, sighed silently in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Lord Qin, what Princess Annan said is also reasonable, it took half a mile to build and benefit the imperial court, and these days the newspaper hall has also been for the court many times, for the emperor to share worries, it is better to rely on Princess Annan, it can be regarded as a little heart of the imperial court." ”
Lord Qin was helpless, and finally nodded, "So let's start the paperwork." ”
Lord Qin went out to make arrangements, Wen Mianmian's smiling eyebrows and eyes were crooked, Old Man Wei pretended to cough, Wen Mianmian understood in seconds, "Old Wei, Old Zhao, recently there is a good fruit brew in my house, and I will send two jars to each of you to your house when I turn around." ”
Both of them touched their beards with satisfaction, the corners of Lord Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and his old man's heart became more and more crooked.
After signing the paperwork, Wen Mianmian ordered someone to go back to the steward of Wei Da to deliver the silver ticket, as for these materials, they could only be stacked in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry for the time being.
In the middle of Lord Wei's desire to speak, Wen Mianmian said that he could properly pay some warehouse rent to the Ministry of Industry, so that Lord Wei felt comfortable, and as soon as Wen Mianmian left, he hurriedly went to find Lord Qin to share the money, and the six departments were the poorest in their Ministry of Industry, so they couldn't run faster.
It was already evening when she came out of the Ministry of Works, thinking that there were still people waiting for her, Wen Mianmian ordered Qinglan to turn the dock.
Qinglan has been a good day since she became the follower of the princess of his family, if nothing else, the princess is easy to serve, and occasionally there is a silver reward, and she is also polite to him.
It was the princess's request that he did it to the letter.
Wen Mianmian in the carriage heard Qinglan singing, and listened to it for a while before quipping, "Qinglan, you're so happy to catch the car, and let you sing a little song?" ”
Qinglan opened her mouth happily, "I'm not happy to catch the car, but I'm happy to catch the princess." ”
Wen Mianmian's smiling eyebrows and eyes are crooked, Qinglan is very good at talking.
"I have something to talk about in a while, maybe it will take a while, you go to eat first, how much did it cost to let the spirit fruit get it for you."
The corners of Qinglan's mouth grinned, "Thank you, princess." ”
Mrs. Songlin saw Wen Mianmian at nightfall, and there was no embarrassment in meeting again, but more cordiality.
"Come in, I know you've been busy lately, and I don't want to bother you, but I want to talk to you."
Facing Mrs. Songlin's enthusiasm, Wen Mianmian followed into the door with a smile, and when she was led to the dining room, she found that the meal had been set, and it seemed that she was waiting for her.
Lin Ruozhang was also there, and when she saw Wen Mianmian, she stepped forward enthusiastically, "Cousin-in-law, we meet again." ”
Wen Mianmian said with a smile: "Madame gave me a pair of extremely luxurious bracelets earlier, I originally thought that Madame was only afraid that she would ask me, and it was not until last night that the prince of my family mentioned the identity of Madame to me, which is really surprising." ”
There was no mention in the words that Lin Ruozhang had already looked for her, and even said that he only knew that Mrs. Songlin's mother and daughter were not happy.
Lin Ruozhang laughed, "Since my cousin-in-law already knows, and she still calls her mother 'madam', she should change her name to 'aunt'." ”
"There's no hurry."
Wen Mianmian sat down by herself, "If you don't mind, it's better to start eating first." ”
She is really hungry, her hunger is not easy to control, and her brain is not fast.
"Yes, yes, look at me, I'm so happy to see you, eat first, and then talk about what you have to eat."
Mrs. Songlin sat down and began to serve Wen Mianmian vegetables, "Hungry, eat more." ”
Wen Mianmian ate calmly and did not speak, and the mother and daughter only thought that she was following the dogma of eating and sleeping silently, so they did not continue to speak.
Wen Mianmian, who put down the dishes and chopsticks after a while, moved to the inner room with the mother and daughter, and took the initiative to open their mouths after the tea entrance, "The appearance of Madame, the prince of my family is happy and worried, I don't know if Madame is only for recognition or other purposes?" ”
Mrs. Songlin liked her straightforwardness, so she didn't beat around the bush, "I will help him fight for the throne." ”
said and smiled, "How can you not fight if you were born in the royal family, how many emperors can tolerate their brothers in all dynasties?" ”
"Your life looks better now, but what about after that?"
Wen Mianmian asked her, "You have no grudge against Dongshu, maybe the emperor will treat you well when he sees that you are the sister of the late concubine, and you can assist him openly, why didn't you come earlier?" ”
"I can understand that you see that he is doing well now, so you want to come and enjoy it?"
"If he wants to fight, what does it make if he has you or not?"
