I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 704
The princes and princes of the Xun Qi are extremely wealthy, and share the same weal and woe with the country, and enjoy the glory and wealth from generation to generation.

At this time, you are still seeking a good reputation, what do you want to do?Is it to solicit public opinion to rebel?
So in many cases, it is not the Xun Qi who is deliberately domineering and plundering... Look at Wang Jian under the Qin Emperor, and Zan Hou under the Han Emperor. They are all greedy for money on purpose and leave a big stigma.
Zheng Xiaoming knew that the status of Xun Qi had huge benefits, and it also had huge restrictions for assistance.

"The road of benevolence and jade rice is probably not going to work, and the teaching of holiness is not in line with my temperament... It seems that I still have to take the road of virtue and purple bamboo!"

But speaking of it, although the Marquis is honorable and honorable, he enjoys glory and wealth.

But this year, at most, he can earn two to three thousand taels of silver.

The amount of this money is naturally an astronomical figure that ordinary people can't imagine.But for Zheng Xiaoming, it's really not enough...

The main reason is that the biggest income in the Marquis's mansion is the land farm... But from ancient times to the present, it is the same thing that you can't make money from farming!

The annual income of the several thousand mu of land in the Xiayanghou Mansion is only two or three thousand taels of silver.The bulk of the real income comes from several stores, restaurants, and money shops in Xiayanghou Mansion.

You have to find a way to expand your business!

Thinking like this in my heart, I heard someone report: "Master Hou, an eunuch Li has come with the emperor's will! He also brought more than ten boxes, which are said to be rewards for you, Lord Hou... "

Zheng Xiaoming scoffed at the words, the emperor himself is a poor man.Every year at the end of the year, there will be a shortfall.

What can he reward?It is nothing more than various palace items made by the twenty-four supervisors in the palace, such as silk, satin, charcoal, paper, copperware, etc.

It is said that they are all made by the top craftsmen in the palace, but it is really hard to say how much they are worth.

It's not bad if you can receive dozens of taels of gold flower silver for direct money!

After all, as a relative, he is often rewarded by the palace...

However, the matter of making money in the plan still depends on this opportunity.

Zheng Xiaoming cheered up when he heard the words, and said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here: "Please, please!"

"Congratulations, Lord Hou, congratulations, Lord Hou!"

The eunuch Li Zhongxiao, who came to comfort Zheng Xiaoming, smiled and said to Zheng Xiaoming: "Congratulations, Lord Hou! This time, the emperor is very impressed with Lord Hou. This time, he sent so many condolences to Lord Hou!"

Zheng Xiaoming lazily said: "Why do you like it! The emperor can't even deal with those two envoys..."

"Hey! Master Hou's words are wrong! The emperor is doing this for the sake of Master Hou!

Lord Hou, think about it, if you really dealt with those two imperial envoys for this matter this time, although Lord Hou has vented his anger, I am afraid that those big men and civil servants in the imperial court will not like you, Master Hou. ?

Maybe in the future I will find trouble with you, Lord Hou...

In the future, it will not be easy for Lord Hou to get a job in the imperial court or something!

Now that the emperor is doing this, he also loves you, Lord Hou! "

Zheng Xiaoming knew in his heart that what Li Zhongxiao said was true, but of course he couldn't let it go, he sighed: "I've been beaten up like this, what else can I do? I won't have the face to see anyone in the future, so I can only obediently hide in the house and shut myself up." Can't get out!"

Li Zhongxiao laughed dryly, admiring Zheng Xiaoming, who was clearly a Marquis, but he didn't know where this rascal habit came from.

It's just that it's difficult for Li Zhongxiao, he came to comfort Zheng Xiaoming by order of the emperor.Zheng Xiaoming is so uncooperative in this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to complete this errand!
If an eunuch, or even a civil servant, ignores the emperor's consolation so much, then he is not happy, and he can deal with you in a blink of an eye...at least put you in a separate book, and you will never get ahead for a lifetime.

But what are you afraid of, a prince like Xiayanghou who shares weal and woe with the country?It's a big deal for people to go back and close their doors to enjoy the glory and wealth.Your emperor's annual rewards are indispensable...

But Li Zhongxiao, who couldn't complete the task, had a difficult time: "Master Hou! Master Hou! Don't be disheartened and fall into the schemes of those turban gangsters!
We don't have a few accomplished talents in our Xunqi. If you don't come out of the mountain again, Lord Hou, wouldn't those headscarf guests be happy! "

The so-called headscarves naturally refer to literati and bureaucrats who wear headscarves, and of course they also refer to civil servants.

The nobles and the eunuchs coexist with the imperial power, so the relationship between the two parties is of course closer.It is equivalent to one being a slave of the master's family and the other being a relative of the master's family.

Of course, both sides are much weaker than the huge civil official group that occupies the entire administrative power, so most of the time they stick together and fight against the civil official.

That's why Li Zhongxiao took us one bite at a time!
Zheng Xiaoming chuckled, seeing that the situation was about the same, he didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Eunuch thinks highly of me, come here! Give Eunuch Li a generous gift..."

The so-called generous gifts were simple and rude, that is, five hundred taels of silver were stuffed in the past.

This is definitely not a small handwriting, even if it is to give the supervisor of ceremonies the palm seal, it is enough to give a gift with a pen.

And Li Zhongxiao was just a little eunuch who served in front of the emperor. When was he given so much money?

Immediately, Li Zhongxiao was so happy that he saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you, Lord Hou!"

Zheng Xiaoming said: "Tell the emperor, I can't afford to suffer such a big loss. I want to open a few stores in the capital and start a small business."

Li Zhongxiao had no choice but to agree on behalf of the emperor, joking that since ancient times the emperor has always told the heroes and nobles that as long as you don't rebel, you can do anything.As a general, I am not afraid of your greed for money, but of your integrity...

Zheng Xiaoming wants to do business in the capital and make money, what's so difficult about it?Even if the emperor wants to compensate Zheng Xiaoming, he will definitely agree.

Sure enough, when Li Zhongxiao went back to report, the emperor laughed and cursed, and then offered to reward two imperial stores as compensation.

······

"Sure enough, there is no follow-up. Fame cannot continue to spread, so there will be no new rice of benevolence and morality!"

Several months later, Zheng Xiaoming muttered to himself.

After more than three months, the last turmoil has long since dissipated.Naturally, no one talked about it anymore, and now there is no new rice of benevolence and morality to grow for cultivation.

As for the money in the mansion, it was barely enough to make ends meet.The huge Xiayanghou Mansion has raised hundreds of people.

Among these people are servants and maids in the mansion, and there are also managers who manage farms, shops, etc. outside the mansion, etc.

This is equivalent to a large company with huge expenses every day.

In addition, it is like subsidizing the princes of various families in the name of rewards from the emperor.

The Xiayanghou Mansion will also reward and subsidize some related subordinate families... such as military generals, relatives, friends, old friends, etc. who have gone out with the Xiayanghou Mansion.

It can be said that every day when I open my eyes, money is rushing out.
