Chapter 212 What?A catty of 1000 taels of tea?One catty per person, don't let the next-door household department look down on you!
East Palace.
Following Wei Xian's voice, the expressions of Yang Kai and Crown Prince Li Gao couldn't help but change.
Why did Wei Xian come to the East Palace in the middle of the night?
And what is repaying silver?
What money?
What are you talking about?
Li Gao was full of curiosity, but he still walked outside the mansion.
Outside the mansion, Wei Xian stood respectfully not far away, with some eunuchs standing beside him.
I saw the prince coming.
Wei Xian immediately took out the bank note and handed it to the prince.
"Prince, this is the repayment that His Majesty asked your slaves to give you."
Wei Xian laughed and said.
Looking at the stack of bank notes in his hand, the prince was a little curious and couldn't help but look at the other party.
"Eunuch Wei Xian, what do you mean by repaying the money? My father doesn't owe me any money."
Li Gao spoke, full of doubts and curiosity, he really didn't understand what it meant.
Seeing the prince's confused face, Wei Xian smiled slightly.
"Prince, have you done business with Marquis Tianming?"
Wei Xian asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Hearing this, the prince looked a little nervous, not understanding what the other party meant.
"It's like this. Your Majesty thinks that Lord Hou's business is still a bit unsafe, so he spent 10 taels of gold from the internal treasury to repay the crown prince instead of Lord Hou. This cooperation ends here, and I hope that the crown prince will not blame him. Marquis."
Wei Xian spoke out, telling the latter what Emperor Yongsheng meant.
But listen to this.
Li Gao was stunned for a moment.
He felt a stream of blood rushing directly to the Tianling Cap from under his feet.
Good guy.
You want to cut off your ass, right?
Seeing getting rich, you want to cut off your beard?
Is it really that cruel?
People don't eat like tigers, and you usually don't give me much money, and you managed to earn some money by your own skills, so you're just like this, right?
Do you still look like a father?
This was the idea in Li Gao's mind.
It popped out almost all at once.
Today, Daxia Everbright City made a profit of 18 taels of silver, and I have ten chips on hand, which means that just today, I earned 8000 to 800 taels of silver, which is a profit of [-] taels of gold.
With this money, I can do whatever I want in the future, and I don't have to live a hard life anymore.
But what I didn't expect was, damn it, His Majesty suddenly made this move?
Help Jinnian pay back the money to himself?
What does it mean?
You want to say that this is not cutting Hu?Li Gao didn't believe it at all.
Why don't you come early, don't come late, why come at this time?
"Prince, prince? Why are you silent?"
"Are you too happy?"
Wei Xian opened his mouth, a little confused, why the prince didn't speak for a long time.
"You wait here."
"wait for me."
Li Gao felt a little dizzy, he didn't know what to say.
Let Wei Xian wait here.
He walked into the front hall by himself.
When he came to the front hall, Yang Kai couldn't help but hastily walked over to see the Prince who stumbled and looked ugly.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Kai was a little surprised, this prince was alive and well before, and he felt very happy, why did he go out now and become like this.
"Master Yang, I really can't bear it."
"My royal father is afraid that he knows about this deal and wants to intercept it."
The prince was trembling when he spoke, and his mood was very low.
"What the hell happened?"
"How did you become like this?"
The Crown Princess also doesn't understand the situation, so it's okay to be woken up in the middle of the night, and suddenly she says she's getting rich, and then she's downcast here?
Is this sick?
"You know the shit."
"Do you still remember that we invested in Jinnian's business?"
The prince was helpless, he looked at the princess and said so.
"Remember, what's the matter? Isn't it 2 taels of gold? Didn't it open recently?"
"How is the business? I heard people say that the business is not bad, is it?"
The princess is a little bit awakened. She heard that the slaves also mentioned the matter of Daxia's Nightless City in the past few days, but because she couldn't leave at will, she didn't get to know it deeply.
"not bad?"
"Do you know how much money Jinnian made in this business just yesterday?"
The prince was a little excited. When he mentioned this matter, he was very excited and uncomfortable.
"how much?"
"You are a dignified prince, what world has you never seen? One million taels of silver or two million taels of silver?"
The Crown Princess frowned a little, it was a little embarrassing to be so fierce to herself in front of outsiders.
Besides, if it is really two million taels a day, so what?To do business, there must be costs and losses, how much can you really get?
And I only have two chips on hand, everyone put together, that is to say, ten chips.
Even if you make some money, so what?I am the crown princess, the future queen, what world has I never seen?
To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the strict control of the royal family, if she wanted to collect some filial money.
Millions of taels of silver are easily available, how many people are willing to give themselves silver?
"Oh, one million taels, two million taels? It's really a woman's opinion."
"Master Yang, tell her how much you earned yesterday."
Li Gao was really annoyed and speechless.
Now his mood is extraordinarily complicated.
Hearing this, Yang Kai was a little helpless, he didn't know what happened, but what he could know was that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Back to the Crown Princess, I received the credit yesterday, about 18 taels of silver."
Yang Kai made a sound, even if he knew this number, whenever he said it, Yang Kai himself felt a little unreal.
"what?"
"Ten million taels of silver?"
In an instant, the dissatisfied Crown Princess froze in place. She was completely stunned, unable to speak a word.
To be honest, from the expression and tone of the crown prince, even if Yang Kai said 1000 million taels of silver, the crown princess would not be too shocked, and pretended to have seen the world.
But the problem is, 18 taels of silver is really an astronomical figure, even if she is a princess, she can't afford it.
"Stupid?"
"Are you calling again this time?"
Seeing the princess's expression, Li Gao was a little annoyed.
"Is that impossible?"
"How could it be possible to earn 18 taels of silver?"
"How did you earn it?"
The Crown Princess ignored Li Gao, but was full of doubts, thinking it was impossible.
Hearing this, Yang Kai gave the land deed to the Crown Princess.
"Crown Princess, take a look, this is the land deed price that was traded yesterday."
"Great Summer Night City attracts all the people in Kyoto to go, and some people from the surrounding prefectures also come to join in the fun. As a result, some businessmen see business opportunities and want to buy shops."
"Crown Princess, you may not know that in the Great Summer Night City, a shop selling sugar water earns 1000 taels of silver per hour."
"It's just selling sugar water."
"So, a shop in a good location costs 1000 million taels, a medium shop costs 500 million taels, and a shop that is close to it costs 200 million taels."
"In other words, if all these shops are sold out, the income should be 50 million taels of silver."
"Among them, there are [-] shops with the best locations, which will be reserved for future auctions."
"Besides, there are night markets in the city that never sleeps. Thousands of shops and stalls are only rented and not sold. The annual rental income may be as high as tens of millions of taels of silver."
"The department store has things like official salt, dragon rice, and mirrors, which can ensure that people come here continuously."
"These businessmen saw the opportunity, and each one was more generous than the other. According to Lord Hou, all the shops will be sold and rented out within seven days."
Yang Kai made a sound and informed the Crown Princess of the specific situation.
After hearing this, the princess was completely numb. There was nothing in her mind, only silver and gold.
50 million silver income?
I invested ten chips, that is to say, I can get fifty million taels of silver. How terrifying is this wealth?
Her natal family can be regarded as the existence of a local wealthy family, and the family property of several million can still be taken out. If you really want to say, it is not a big problem to squeeze out 1000 million taels of silver.
How can the princess's family be bad?
But what is the concept of fifty million taels of silver?Even if she doesn't understand government affairs, she also knows that the annual national tax in Daxia is only [-] million taels of silver.
National tax for one year.
This means that in the future, as long as I am interested in and like things, I can buy them by myself?
As a crown princess, she is naturally a dignitary of the Great Xia Dynasty. If she really likes something, she can naturally get it, but the problem is, who will pay for it?
Various shops, dignitaries, including the wives of some courtiers, lined up to pay for themselves.
But because of the Crown Princess, she knows that some things cannot be accepted, no matter how much she likes them, she can't accept them, because if she accepts them, she has to do things for others, if it's done, it's easy to say, if it's not done, it will be troublesome.
My husband is the prince, don't even mention any achievements, as long as I don't make mistakes, my husband can become the emperor, and I am the queen.
mother of a nation.
In such a situation, it must not add chaos.
But as a woman, let me ask you, if you see beautiful jewellery, beautiful jewellery, or interesting ones, let’s not even talk about other things, let the imperial dining room open a small stove, take care of the servants, and go out, where do you not want money?
It's like last time, I went to a certain Shangshu's house to find my best friend, what happened?
After I went there, I was not willing to give a reward, so I spread some rumors.
What women care about most is face.
And now, if he had fifty million taels of silver, would he still care about these things?
In the future, when you go out, you can give various rewards and expenses, buy what you like, and buy what you don’t like.
What?If you don't like it, why buy it?
I'm sorry, but what I have is money, and I can't spend it all. Why don't I buy it?
Thinking of this, the Crown Princess has completely ignored the Crown Prince's abuse just now, but looked at Li Gaodao.
"Prince, why are you so unhappy about such a profitable business?"
"Did I provoke you?"
"If I say something wrong, you can just speak up. I will reflect on myself and I won't provoke you."
The Crown Princess spoke in an extremely gentle tone, without any sense of arrogance just now, and seemed a little cautious.
"His Royal Highness, what happened here? Why are you so unhappy, Your Highness?"
"How did His Majesty know about this?"
Yang Kai was also a little curious, before going out, he was still happy and cheerful, why did he look like this after he came back?
"I am not sure as well."
"Wei Xian is standing outside now, carrying the banknote. I wonder if my father knows that this business is profitable, and also knows that I have invested a lot. Now that he is making money, he wants to grab it directly."
The prince was in an extremely bad mood. If this was the case, he really didn't know what to do.
It's impossible to rebel, right?
"impossible."
Yang Kai frowned, he looked outside the hall, although he couldn't see Wei Xian.
When the princess heard this, her expression changed.
"The old man wants to cut off his beard?"
"It doesn't make sense. Didn't the old man always say that? He said that Jinnian's business would lose money. Now that he has made money, he wants to get his hands dirty?"
"Where is such a rule?"
Hearing this, the Crown Princess was also upset. Although this is the old man and the Emperor of Daxia, it is impossible to act recklessly like this.
They have assumed the investment risk, and now that they have finally made money, you just want to cut it off. How can there be any reason for this?
"No, no, no."
"Prince, you wait here for a while, and the old minister will ask."
Yang Kai felt something was wrong, His Majesty couldn't possibly know the income, after all, only a few of them could know, unless Gu Jinnian went to inform him.
But Gu Jinnian doesn't have to be like this.
And the speed is too fast, even if you want to tip off the news, it is impossible to be so fast.
After saying this, Yang Kai rushed outside directly.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Yang Kai rushed back excitedly.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, His Royal Highness, you are wrong, it is not that His Majesty wants to cut off the barbarian."
"It's His Majesty who feels that Jinnian, the city that never sleeps in summer, is doomed to lose money. He is afraid that you will be dissatisfied after losing money, so he wants to replace Jinnian and return the principal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yang Kai walked over quickly, and told the Crown Prince the ins and outs of the future.
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately stood up.
"Really?"
The prince spoke, looking extremely excited.
"It really is."
"His Royal Highness, think about it, if His Majesty really knows that the Great Xia Everbright City is so profitable."
"Why does Your Majesty stare at you? He should be looking for the Marquis of Destiny. The veteran knows that the people who participated in the Great Xia Night City are nothing more than the veteran, as well as Mr. Wang, you, the prince, His Highness King Qin, and the Gu family."
"Let's add up, it's only about [-] chips, and there are [-] chips left. Your Majesty really wants it. Asking Jinnian for [-] chips is a hundred times better than fighting with you, right?"
"You misunderstood."
Yang Kai explained, and analyzed this matter rationally from his own perspective.
After saying this, the prince really came to his senses.
That's right, if you really want to cut off Hu, wouldn't it be enough to go directly to Jinnian?If you are polite, ask for [-]%; if you are not polite, ask for [-]%.
No matter how shameless my old man is, he won't want all of them, right?
That son is about to rebel against you.
"Blame me for being too impulsive at the moment."
"So it is."
"Then Master Yang, I will let Eunuch Wei Xian go back directly."
Li Gao opened his mouth and said so.
"kindness."
"However, Your Highness should be tactful in what you say later, and tell Eunuch Wei Xian that if you invest the money, whether you lose money or not, whether you make money or not is a trivial matter, the main thing is to make Jinnian happy."
"The reason why your Majesty helped Jinnian to refund the silver is actually a good thing. Your Highness, you will be the emperor of Daxia in the future, and Jinnian is now the number one lord of Daxia, the mainstay of Daxia. Your Majesty is also afraid that Jinnian will make you lose money." gone."
"You have a grudge in your heart, and there will be any unnecessary conflicts in the future, so you will do this. If His Highness refuses directly, the old minister is worried that His Majesty will have doubts. Now His Majesty has no idea how much money this Great Summer Night City can earn. .”
"But if His Highness's attitude is abnormal, His Majesty notices it, and then sends someone to investigate carefully, the matter in the capital itself cannot escape His Majesty's eyes."
"If you really want to let His Majesty know, it will be different. A few days ago, His Majesty was still thinking about going to war against the Huns, but it was nothing more than a lack of silver. Now that the silver is delivered to the door, His Majesty has no reason not to want it."
"But if you let His Majesty know later, let Jinnian share a sum of money with everyone, and secondly spend the money, then His Majesty has nothing to do."
"What do you think?"
Yang Kai made a sound, this is the way he thought about it.
why is it like this?
Isn't it because there is still your own money in it?To put it bluntly, the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, but he, Yang Kai, is not the son of Emperor Yongsheng?
Hurry up to divide the accounts, hurry up and spend the money, even if Emperor Yongsheng knows, they will not lose money, the money is all spent, what else can you do?
It's nothing more than a foot in it.
"Master Yang is really smart."
"I'm going now."
Li Gao made a sound, and after he finished speaking, he was going to have a good chat with Wei Xian.
"Your Highness must show that the money is intended to win over Gu Jinnian. After the settlement of Eunuch Wei Xian, the old minister and His Highness will go to Qin Wangfu to find Jinnian. Jinnian is in Qin Wangfu, just in time to discuss the matter of dividing the accounts."
Yang Kai said.
"it is good."
The prince nodded, and then walked outside quickly.
When he came to Wei Xian again, Li Gao was full of smiles, but his attitude was completely different.
"Eunuch Wei, take this banknote back and tell the old man that I don't care about the loss or profit of the money invested in Jinnian, as long as Jinnian is happy."
"Jinnian is the mainstay of my Great Xia. A mere tens of thousands of taels of gold is nothing. Please also ask Eunuch Wei to pass on these words to the old man."
Li Gao made a sound and said so.
As soon as this remark came out, Wei Xian was a little surprised. Who in the entire capital didn't know that this prince was the most stingy prince in the whole world?
In the past, no matter what happened in the palace, as long as it talked about money, the crown prince would immediately change his face, not to mention being full of civil and military affairs, even Emperor Yongsheng would not be able to open his mouth.
As a result, the country does not need the approval of the Ministry of Households to do some things later, because the Minister of the Ministry of Households will only say a word.
If the prince agrees, I agree.
So the name of Prince Iron Rooster spread.
Now that he has invested tens of thousands of taels of gold and is about to face a loss, the prince doesn't care about it?
This is a little surprised?
But no matter how surprised he was, Wei Xian would naturally listen to what the crown prince said.
"Since the crown prince is so benevolent, the servant understands."
"His Royal Highness, please rest assured, the slaves will definitely tell His Majesty."
Wei Xian nodded.
After saying this, I will leave.
"Please trouble Eunuch Wei."
Li Gao yelled, but Wei Xian didn't dare to take it too seriously, he immediately bowed, and then led the people away.
In this way, the prince returned to the main hall.
Tell Yang Kai what he said just now, Yang Kai nodded after listening, and then said.
"In that case, His Royal Highness, Crown Princess, let's go to Prince Qin's Mansion?"
The sound fell.
The princess smiled gently.
"I'm not going."
"Prince, you can go directly. I am a woman, and I am afraid that I will say something wrong."
The crown princess spoke, a little embarrassed, it was completely modified.
The previous pungentness is gone.
"Go, you can also listen to what Jinnian said, lest I forget something."
Seeing the appearance of the princess like this, the prince is very happy in his heart, he finally straightened up and became a big man for a while.
"That's fine, but I'm going. If you say something wrong, you have to remind me, Prince, no, I will try my best to keep silent, so as not to cause any trouble."
The princess nodded.
In front of so much money, any problems are no longer a problem, what is the princess?Everything is easy to talk about if you have money.
In this way, the three braved the night and left the palace.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Wei Xian told Emperor Yongsheng verbatim what the prince said.
After listening to it, Emperor Yongsheng was a little puzzled.
"This prince really said so?"
Emperor Yongsheng was really puzzled, this knowing son is like a father, he naturally knows what kind of character his son is.
Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of gold, even if it is thousands of Wen, whoever makes his son lose money will probably suffer for a month.
Not to mention so much silver.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. He couldn't imagine that the prince would change his nature.
"Your Majesty, slaves dare not lie, these are indeed the words of the crown prince."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and answered seriously.
"Strange."
"This business at a loss, the prince really doesn't feel bad?"
Emperor Yongsheng frowned slightly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
However, Wei Xian couldn't help but speak.
"His Majesty."
"Could it mean that the prince actually knows that this business is a loss, but the prestige of Marquis Tianming is extremely high. Although this is a loss-making business, for the prince, this business can't lose much."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
Having said that, it is also a way of thinking.
"It's possible."
Emperor Yongsheng instantly understood the meaning of Wei Xian's words.
"In that case, let them go."
"Anyway, good words are hard to persuade. Since they like to lose money, let them lose money."
"I have said what I should say, and I have done what I should do."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer, what could he say?
"Your Majesty has done a good job."
"The prince is also very moved."
"However, is this money brought back to the inner treasury?"
Wei Xian asked with a smile.
"Don't take it, donate it to the three major disaster areas. After a while, let the courtiers donate some money."
"Also, let the imperial dining room pay attention in the future. From 48 dishes to six dishes, I have to be more diligent and thrifty. The three major disaster areas are uncertain, so I have always followed this standard, which can be regarded as an example."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth, and he was also very direct, reducing his basic necessities of life.
"Your Majesty is truly wise."
Wei Xian knelt down and worshiped on the ground, while Emperor Yongsheng just continued to approve the memorial.
at the same time.
Inside the Qin Palace.
In the lobby.
King Qin also stared blankly at the land deed in his hand, feeling numb all over.
"Jinnian, what do you mean to say that I have made a profit of 600 million taels of silver just after the Great Xia Everbright City was opened for a few days?"
Qin Wang swallowed, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't even believe it.
Damn it, he controls a military camp. To be honest, he has suffered a lot over the years, right?In addition to his own princess, there are still some subordinates who will pay filial piety to themselves.
All together, there is no thirty-eight million taels of silver?
Money can turn the devil around.
As the prince of Daxia, he understood this sentence very well. With money, he can do everything easily.
Without money, let alone your Lord Daxia, Emperor Daxia, and Emperor Yongsheng are very difficult to do things.
Thirty-eight million.
Back then, I invested this money to give Gu Jinnian a face. Since my younger brother likes it, I let my younger brother come.
But I didn't expect that this was unintentional.
"Damn it."
"If I know how profitable your business is, I'll be proud, brother."
King Qin was a little demented.
Subconsciously said this.
But as soon as he said this, King Qin immediately took it back, looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Does the old man know about this?"
King Qin asked.
"Uncle doesn't know yet, brother, I let uncle enter the fund before, but he didn't enter. Now that he has earned money, why tell him?"
Gu Jinnian is very straightforward. If you invest, I will share the account with you. If you don't invest, why tell you?
"It's a good thing, don't tell the old man about this. According to the old man's personality, if you know how profitable this business is, I'm afraid."
King Qin opened his mouth and reminded Gu Jinnian.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, together with Minister of Rites Yang Kai and Lord Yang, are visiting outside the residence."
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
As the voice sounded, King Qin's eyes were a little curious.
"In the middle of the night, what is the prince looking for me for?"
However, although he was a little curious, he still asked his servants to invite him immediately.
There was some estrangement between King Qin and the crown prince before, but when the matter is over, it will be over. No matter what he thinks in his heart, on the surface, he still needs to be respected by brothers and friends.
At this moment, King Qin's voice sounded.
"Let the princess come to the front hall."
As he opened his mouth, the servants immediately went to call for the princess.
Gu Jinnian looked very calm, as if he guessed that the prince would come.
Not long after.
Prince Li Gao, Crown Princess, and Yang Kai appeared in the lobby one after another.
"Second brother."
"His Royal Highness King Qin."
Both of them were very enthusiastic, but their eyes fell on Gu Jinnian immediately.
"I have seen His Royal Highness."
King Qin also stood up and bowed to the prince. Although the two were brothers, the prince's status was much higher than him, and he needed to be honored.
"Second brother, don't be so polite."
"Second brother, don't blame me for disturbing you late at night."
The prince smiled and said.
"The prince's visit late at night, shouldn't it be to find Brother Yu?"
King Qin made a sound and glanced at Gu Jinnian.
"Hahaha."
"Brother, I'll cut to the chase. I'm here to find Jinnian."
The prince smiled, and then sat down. At this time, Princess Qin also came in, said hello to the prince and others, and sat aside.
Watching everyone sit down.
Gu Jinnian spoke up directly.
"His Royal Highness."
"Princess."
"Yang Shangshu."
"The three of you came to visit late at night, presumably because of the affairs of the Great Xia City that Never Sleeps."
"Since everyone is here, let me express my point of view. If everyone agrees, follow my plan. If you have any other opinions, just say so directly, so as not to get emotional."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
He knows what the prince and others are here for, so he might as well get straight to the point by himself, so as not to embarrass you or me.
"Okay, okay, brother Jinnian can say anything."
"Everything respects the meaning of Lord Marquis."
The crowd nodded.
"Currently, Daxia Everbright City has received 18 taels of silver. I estimate that within seven days, I can get 50 taels of silver."
"I have two ideas for this amount of money. One is to build the Great Xia Nightless City better, with some amazing scenery, places to visit, including accommodation and meals, night market lanterns, everything you expect."
"If this project is fully implemented, it will cost approximately 20 taels of silver. I discussed it with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. 20 people will be used to speed up the construction, and it will be fully completed within two months."
"But the time I gave Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is only one and a half months."
"After the Great Xia Nightless City is completely perfected, one hundred million taels of silver will be used to subsidize the common people. The official salt and dragon rice will naturally be lowered, including research and development of some new items, such as crystal mirrors. All of these need silver."
"This is done to stabilize the number of tourists. The more tourists there are, the more businesses will earn. In this way, when the next city that never sleeps is built, the prices of the shops will be higher."
"The remaining 20 taels of silver, [-] taels of silver, will be used to increase the manpower of employees, plus various welfare bonuses, and another [-] taels of silver will be used to promote the city that never sleeps in Xiaxia, including formulating playbooks for shops, and random Sex gives all kinds of gifts."
"Let the common people have fun, and let these businessmen who buy shops get substantial returns. Otherwise, if you buy shops at such a high price, if you don't make them happy, it will be difficult to do business in the future."
"The remaining one hundred thousand taels of silver will be shared with everyone."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt a little emotional. The 50 taels of silver was spent in such a way. I don't know why, and I feel a little distressed.
"Does it need to be done so quickly?"
Yang Kai made a sound and couldn't help asking.
Spending 20 taels of silver to speed up the construction of the Great Xia Nightless City is a bit exaggerated, because it only needs [-] taels of silver to build it at the speed of one year.
Why waste this silver?
"It has to be fast."
"People's curiosity is only a little bit. Nowadays, the most attractive things in Daxia Night City are department stores and restaurants, but what are these two things?"
"In less than two months, the number of people who come to the city that never sleeps will be greatly reduced. What's the purpose of coming? It's nothing more than buying official salt and dragon rice, and at most some small things. It doesn't make much sense."
"In this case, the surrounding shops will inevitably suffer from poor business."
"And if the various landscapes of the Great Xia Nightless City are built, including the Garden of Beasts, when all these things are completed, the people will have more choices when coming to the Great Xia Nightless City."
"When a gifted man or a beautiful woman comes for an outing, they pass by a rouge gouache shop to buy some rouge gouache, pass by a bookstore, and buy some books. If they come across a Wenbao shop, they can buy some of the Four Treasures of the Study, and the storekeeper earns money, so they will feel that the store is worth buying."
"When a family of ordinary people comes to visit, even if they don't want to spend any money, it's not too much to buy a bowl of sugar water, and it's not too much to eat a bunch of candied haws. It's also a waste of money to have lunch and buy some small things to go home."
"The merchant earns the money spent, and the value of the store will increase."
"Master Yang should understand this truth."
Gu Jinnian said with a firm attitude.
Customer flow is the first choice of any business logic, and accurate customer flow is the most important thing. The two biggest profit points of Daxia Everbright City are shops and residences.
Gu Jinnian will press down on the housing plan first, and there is no rush for the time being. We will wait until the Great Xia Everbright City is completely famous all over the world, and then start building housing. That is the time to maximize the benefits.
The shops are the most profitable, and the rest of the restaurants and scenic spots are all long-term profits, and the short-term profits still depend on the shops.
Naturally, it is necessary for these merchants to make a lot of money, preferably in half a year, so that they can demand high prices in the next big summer city that never sleeps.
"understood."
"In terms of business, the old man is far behind Master Hou."
What Gu Jinnian said was easy to understand, how could Yang Kai not understand?
He sighed.
But the prince's voice continued to sound.
"I understand subsidizing research and development of new products, what does this guy mean by increasing benefits?"
The prince didn't understand what welfare meant, so he asked.
"Brother Prince."
"If you want the city that never sleeps to have a good reputation, you don't just rely on the guests. These guys are even more important."
"I plan to let these guys live better and eat better. They work every day, and when they go back to their residences, someone will wash their clothes for them, someone will cook for them, and their salaries are not low. They will even set up special private schools for them. The children of children go to school here, and their families can go to the scenic spots for free and get various benefits.”
"In this way, these guys will use the greatest enthusiasm to do things for us and solve their worries. First, they are reluctant to part with this job. Second, they can also earn silver taels. Third, the whole family can enjoy various activities. Preferential treatment, so that when others know their situation."
"I can only envy. When I hear who is working in the Great Xia Night City, they will show envious eyes. In this way, this word of mouth will be completely solidified. From all aspects, it must be a good place to build the Great Xia Night City."
"It's fun, interesting, convenient for life, and beneficial to the common people. Merchants have the way of the merchants, and the common people have the way of the common people. Then when we go to build the Great Xia Nightless City, we can get support from all over the place, whether it is the support of local governments, or The support from the people has been extremely good.”
Gu Jinnian spoke up and explained what welfare is.
"understood."
"Jinnian is really a great talent. A guy can live so comfortably. In the future, when he goes to build cities that never sleep, he won't be afraid of someone secretly making trouble. The will of the people cannot be violated. Besides, all counties and prefectures are naturally willing to cooperate."
The crown prince nodded and understood what Gu Jinnian meant.
But what Gu Jinnian said next surprised them a little.
"If you agree, there are two more things I want to say."
"First, after the accounts are divided, I hope that you will spend as much money as you have, don't be stingy, and don't save any money, just spend as hard as you can. If you can spend 100 taels of silver, don't spend 80 taels of silver."
"Secondly, the Great Xia Nightless City has a total of one hundred chips. At present, the prince brother, the princess concubine, the empress, the old queen mother, brother Qin Wang, the Gu family, Wang Fugui, Su Huaiyu, Wang Shangshu, and Yang Shangshu occupy twenty chips."
"There are 20 chips left, and I own [-] chips, so I plan to bring in [-] more chips for the remaining [-] chips."
"These 20 people must be important officials of the court, but there is no need to ask others to join in, but as long as they open their mouths, let them join in. Of course, the money to be raised is 5 taels of gold."
"The remaining ten chips will be distributed to the local governments. In this way, under the bondage of interests, the business will only get better and bigger. Of course, all this is only limited to the Daxia Dynasty. If Daxia Outside of Dynasty, there are other algorithms, so I won’t talk about it now.”
Gu Jinnian spoke.
Tell everyone about equity.
He still wants to attract more people in, and the purpose of pulling everyone in is also very simple, that is, to become bigger and stronger.
In fact, the ten people who have entered the fund can already shake the entire Great Xia Dynasty, but it is still not enough, because it is a business, and the more winners, the better.
Even if there is a voice of opposition, I am afraid that it will be criticized by countless people in an instant.
It's like what the Minister of the Ministry of household said.
Isn't he not looking good at Daxia Everbright City?
If he knows that Daxia Everbright City makes money, and then has the opportunity to get in, once he gets in, look at He Yan's attitude?
Whoever dared to sing bad words about the city that never sleeps, He Yan rushed out immediately and beat him up.
It's that simple.
"this is okay."
"It's possible, but if you do this, the old man will have some troubles to explain."
Yang Kai agreed, but the crown prince thought of Emperor Yongsheng, he always felt that doing this was a bit of a clique for personal gain.
Oh, no, this is no longer forming a party for personal gain, this is joining together.
"Brother, don't worry."
"This city that never sleeps is something His Majesty promised. Besides, I have fifty chips, what can uncle say about me?"
"Besides, it's not that I don't pay taxes. The old uncle said that the first 20 years are tax-free. I'm being more polite. I'll be tax-free for ten years. After ten years, all 72 counties must have the Great Xia Night City."
"Just the normal rent, there are millions of taels of silver in a year. According to 30% of the commercial tax, the annual national tax revenue is [-] million taels of silver. What can the old man say?"
Gu Jinnian disagreed.
Anyway, Emperor Yongsheng agreed to this matter, the majestic emperor, it is impossible to play tricks, right?
No credit at all?
"That's true."
"I can't change anyone else, but if it's you Jinnian, the old man really can't say anything."
"Okay, I think it's appropriate."
The prince nodded.
Indeed, changing someone else is definitely not going to work. What can you do if the label of forming a party and seeking selfish interests is removed?
But Gu Jinnian is different.
Does Gu Jinnian need to form a party for personal gain?He alone is the biggest party, the future Confucian sage, the first prince of the Great Xia, all the auras added to Gu Jinnian, how many times have he saved the Great Xia?
To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian can live without Da Xia, but Da Xia cannot live without Gu Jinnian.
That's true.
So there is really nothing to say about taking everyone to do business together, and if you really pay taxes later, then there is nothing to say.
"wrong."
"Jinnian, if you follow this distribution, don't you say you want to open a new never-sleep city? This newly-opened never-sleep city will cost a lot of money, and all the money on hand will be spent. If Daxia's never-sleep city earns slowly, How long do I have to wait?"
At this moment, King Qin's voice sounded, and he was a little puzzled, feeling that Gu Jinnian had settled a score.
"Brother, don't worry, if the Great Xia Night City in Kyoto can really go according to plan."
"The next city that never sleeps, believe it or not, as long as we choose a place and don't build it, countless businessmen will give us this money."
Gu Jinnian said confidently.
This is not what he said, as long as the Great Xia Night City can really become famous all over the world, no, it doesn't need to be famous all over the world, as long as it can make the Great Xia Dynasty famous, as long as Gu Jinnian opens his mouth to set up a Night City in a certain county.
All businessmen from all over the country will flock here.
why?
Because merchants seek profit, the shops in Daxia Everbright City earn money, and they want to buy better ones, but can other merchants sit still?
Who doesn't want to earn a stable profit?
Moreover, it was opened by Gu Jinnian, the First Marquis of Great Xia, and he was not afraid of being troubled by others. This alone attracted many businessmen.
"I see."
King Qin figured it out immediately.
"Row."
"If there are no major problems, I will send the bank notes to your families tomorrow."
"Then just spend it hard."
"Don't worry about it."
"I'll go first."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, and got up to leave after saying this.
"Let's go together, let's go together."
The prince stood up and wanted to go with Gu Jinnian, and King Qin also sent him off.
After the people left, Qin Wang looked at the moonlight and couldn't help muttering to himself with a sigh of emotion.
"My brother is really smart."
He made a sound, and walked towards the front hall without any hesitation after speaking. At this time, Princess Qin was still sitting there stupidly.
It wasn't until King Qin spoke that Concubine Qin came to her senses.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"My lord, how much can our family get?"
Qin Wangfei swallowed her saliva, looked at Qin Wang and asked.
"Our family has made two chips, let's share 2000 million taels of silver."
"The king won't go out these few days, you take the money and spend it."
"Take care of the people under you, don't be stingy."
King Qin was just shocked, but he didn't care about spending money on things like this. He used money only for favors.
"Good good."
"My lord, leave it to the concubine, and the concubine will handle it properly."
Qin Wangfei's eyes lit up with excitement.
Although her daily expenses are not small, who would think that money is too much?
That's it.
By the next day.
Three things happened.
the first.
In Daxia Everbright City, the businessmen who bought the shops were exempted from tax for three years. On that day, all the shops were sold out. It was originally a shop that was intended to be rented, but the other party directly bought it with money.
second.
noon.
A carriage mysteriously went to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Prince's Mansion, Prince Qin's Mansion, and the Gu family.
Several large boxes were brought down.
third.
A new official named Chang Yuntian came to Yushitai, which attracted some attention.
Because Chang Yuntian took out half a volume of scriptures on the Mandate of Heaven, it was really a merit, and it was also eye-catching.
Now, under the joint recommendation of King Qin and Su Wenjing, he has entered the Yushitai, and is the Yushi Yanguan, a fifth-rank official.
It's not high, but it can go up.
Three o'clock noon.
Ministry of Industry.
The sun is poisonous.
Some officials were sweating profusely and went into the Ministry of Industry to rest.
"Oh, the weather is really hot to death."
"Yes, well, the people in the Ministry of Industry are really miserable. Look at the people in the Ministry of Households, they can still buy some sour plum juice to drink. We can only buy it with our own money. The Ministry of Industry is really miserable."
"Funds have been reduced. Although there was no plum juice before, at least there is something to relieve the heat. Now there is nothing."
"After all, we are still poor. If we have money, what kind of plum juice should we drink? Let's just drink iced plum juice."
"Don't think about it. At least Yuanwailang can drink this thing. We still want to drink iced plum juice? Think too much, but you are really thirsty when you say this, why don't we go buy a piece of ice, Take a little for each person, let's drink some tree fruit."
The officials gathered together. They are all ordinary officials from the Ministry of Industry. Their monthly salary is not much, and they can barely support a large family. .
This one-meter-high piece of ice cost at least two taels of silver, which they were reluctant to part with.
It is acceptable to buy some crushed ice.
But right now.
Appeal!
Appeal!
Appeal!
There was a sound of horseshoes, and carriages appeared here, and soon hundreds of strong men appeared, bringing in chunks of ice from the carriages.
At a glance, there are at least several hundred pieces of huge ice. This piece of huge ice is two meters high and costs at least five taels of silver.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
"Why are you transporting so much ice? Is it a mistake?"
The entire Ministry of Industry was a little surprised.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked in with a smile.
"May I ask if Master Xu Yun is here?"
He opened his mouth.
After saying this, an old man stepped forward with a curious look on his face.
"you are?"
he asked curiously.
"My lord, Caomin is from the ice store, and these ices were ordered by Master Shangshu."
"A total of 400 yuan of giant ice, please check and collect it."
The latter opened his mouth and informed the situation.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was completely shocked.
400 yuan of ice, that is, 2000 taels of silver, the ice will melt within a day, isn't it too extravagant?
"Ah, this, how much money does this cost?"
Xu Yun swallowed, he couldn't understand, the Ministry of Industry's annual surplus silver is only more than 30 taels, how could it be able to support such consumption.
"My lord, Lord Shangshu has already sent someone to pay the money, you just need to check it."
The latter said with a smile.
"paid?"
This time the Ministry of Industry couldn't figure it out at all, but anyway, they checked it out.
Then let these guys place the ice cubes in the document library, various rooms, including some corridors.
All of a sudden, a feeling of heart-cooling appeared. Although the weather was hot, with the placement of these ice cubes, it instantly cooled down a lot.
The ice cubes are covered with a layer of cloth, which slows down the melting speed of the ice cubes.
But Xu Yun was a little anxious.
"What are you doing here? Cutting ice and soaking water."
It would be too wasteful to put ice cubes here to melt, so cutting ice and soaking in water would maximize the benefits.
But the latter smiled wryly.
"This is what Lord Shangshu meant. He said that he wanted to cool down the entire Ministry of Industry. There is still a batch of ice behind. Sir, if you don't understand, just ask Lord Shangshu. Caomin don't know anything."
He opened his mouth, and after saying this, he immediately took the receipt and left the place.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry were left in a daze.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on, Wang Shangshu?"
"When did the Ministry of Industry become so rich? Putting ice out to cool off the heat? That's why the former Ministry of Households dared to do this."
"My good fellow, the weather is hot and hot, but it's impossible to waste money like this."
Everyone, you and I, really don't understand.
However, a quarter of an hour later.
Another burst of hooves sounded.
"Master Shangshu is back."
As a voice sounded, many officials came to the entrance of the industry department one after another.
But when they appeared at the entrance of the Ministry of Industry, they were shocked to find that carriages appeared outside the Ministry of Industry. The carriages were covered with silk and satin, as well as various pastry gift boxes.
At this time, Wang Qixin came down, playing with a piece of jade pendant, his face was full of happiness.
"Master Wang, what's going on?"
The next moment, Xu Yun walked forward directly, which really didn't understand the operation.
However, Wang Qixin did not answer Xu Yun's words, but looked at the officials of the Ministry of Industry and said.
"In this carriage, there are all silks, pastries, and gifts prepared for you by the old man, one for each person, don't grab it."
"Two bolts of silk per person, take them back, let the tailor make some clothes tomorrow, prepare some new clothes for my family, and report the wages for making clothes to Xu Yun tomorrow."
"Remember, from now on, people from the Ministry of Industry will cheer up the old man when we go out, and be tougher in speaking and talking. Don't wear the same clothes for three to five years."
"I'll let the old man see in the future, all of you are poor, don't blame the old man for being rude."
"Also, later, one person will go to the warehouse to collect 200 taels of silver, which is the money for everyone's hard work this year."
"I've reserved Tianxiangyuan for seven days. During these seven days, you all eat for me. You can eat as much as you can. You can bring your family if you want."
"Also, after three days, I will go to Baozhai Pavilion to pick up the shoes, and I have prepared three pairs of new shoes for each of you, so I can dress up nicely."
Wang Qixin's voice sounded like a bell.
however.
The entire Ministry of Industry officials were dumbfounded.
One person receives 200 taels of silver?
Baotian Xiangyuan for seven days?
Two horses of satin per person?
And Baozhaige's new shoes?
How much money does this fucking cost?
Looking at the silk and satin again, someone with sharp eyes couldn't help exclaiming instantly.
"This is the silk and satin of Manyunbuzhuang. This one is at least 20 taels of silver, right?"
As the voice sounded, everyone was even more astonished.
motherfucker.
How much money is this greedy?
"Master Wang."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Is there so much silver in our treasury?"
"You won't take away the money for building the dragon boat?"
Xu Yun swallowed, his voice trembling, the Ministry of Industry doesn't have so much money, how about 200 taels per person?
There are more than 400 officials in the entire Ministry of Industry, 200 taels per person, which is 8 taels of silver, plus these messy things, at least 3 taels, right?
"Isn't the money for building the dragon boats in the hands of the Hubu?"
"Can the old man take it if he wants?"
"Talking nonsense."
Wang Qixin was a little angry, and then took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, a thick stack, and the bank notes were all in denominations of one thousand taels.
At least five or six million taels.
"Take it."
"The old man has paid for these things."
"You can spend this money on the head of our Ministry of Works for food, drink and housing. The weather is so hot, so it's impossible to buy more ice. Buy a few ice shops and send ice to us."
"Tell me when the money is gone."
"It's really too much to spend, so I will share the money with everyone."
"It's not enough to look back and come to me again."
"Oh, by the way, who said last time that the household department has heavy fog tea, right? Buy a thousand catties and bring it home with one catty per person. Don't let the household department next door look down on you."
Wang Qixin opened his mouth, a group of people who are so proud, directly want to buy a thousand catties of thick mist tea, a catty of 200 taels of silver, a thousand catties is 20 taels.
"Master Shangshu, please stop teasing me."
Xu Yun was about to cry.
"If you don't believe me, go to the household department and ask."
"Save the bank notes. I will go out with me later. I like two pairs of Ruyi, and they will be placed in the lobby of our Ministry of Industry."
"Okay, what are you still doing?"
"You don't want this stuff anymore?"
"Don't send me to the Ministry of War."
Wang Qixin shouted.
At this moment, everyone came back to their senses. Although they don't know what happened, they don't take advantage of the bastard.
All of a sudden, officials from the Ministry of Industry rushed to grab them one by one.
The mouths of each laughing are cracked.
But compared to the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Rites seemed unusually quiet.
Inside the Ministry of Rites.
All officials gathered in the lobby.
Yang Kai was very straightforward, telling everyone the cause and effect of the matter.
After speaking.
Yang Kai stood up and took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms.
"According to Lord Hou's wishes."
"We have to spend this money."
"But we are the Ministry of Rites, so we still have to show some face. Just now someone sent a message that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is like an upstart, and bought a lot of things."
"The old man thinks it's not right."
"We still need to be more sensible in consumption, so later, the old man will take the lead and buy back some things that I wanted to buy but couldn't afford. What do you think?"
Yang Kai made a sound, speaking politely.
Hearing this, everyone was numb.
Some still haven't recovered.
The Ministry of Rites is endless.
But definitely not rich.
Mainly in Kyoto, with the little money given by the imperial court, honestly, what can I buy?
Moreover, Daxia has always been very harsh on officials. Corruption under the emperor's feet is a huge death penalty, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites often say that literati are proud and have a breeze in their sleeves.
In fact, the main thing is that there is no money.
If you have money, you must buy something you like. For example, Yunsi Hongni, this thing is very valuable, 500 taels of silver, if they want it, someone will give it to them.
But they dare not ask for it.
Now that the Ministry of Rites has money, and it is still 2000 million taels, how could this group of people not be shocked
"Master Yang."
"You mean, our Ministry of Rites has 2000 million taels of silver in our warehouse now? Can you let us control it?"
An official swallowed, looked at Yang Kai, and said so.
"kindness."
Yang Kai nodded.
The next moment, everyone gasped again.
For quite a while.
Only then did everyone gradually come to their senses one by one.
After everyone calms down.
Yang Kai said.
"In this way, Wang Shangshu is already shopping, so let's not delay."
"It's getting late."
"Calm down today, let's think about a place first, let's buy something, what's the matter, wait for everyone to calm down, and then talk slowly, how about it?"
Yang Kai continued, he knew that it would be difficult for everyone to explain for a while.
"Don't think about it."
"Master Yang, let's go to Wenbao Zhai."
Zuo Shilang stood up, looked at Yang Kai and said.
When they heard Wenbaozhai, everyone nodded. This Wenbaozhai is the most famous study in Kyoto.
It is full of the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings.
The most expensive and most prestigious study in Daxia Capital.
They would go there occasionally, but only to have a look. A writing brush is worth hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.
Now that I have money, I naturally want to go to this place.
"it is good."
"However, you still need to be more sensible. Don't study from the Ministry of Industry. After all, we are members of the Ministry of Rites."
Yang Kai nodded, he also thought of Wen Baozhai in his heart.
present.
Yang Kai got up, and everyone nodded one after another, promising no or no.
soon.
The mighty officials of the Ministry of Rites walked towards Wenbaozhai.
Two quarters later.
Wenbaozhai is downstairs.
Everyone took a deep breath, Yang Kai turned around and looked at everyone.
"Everyone, calm down."
After he finished speaking, he walked into Wen Baozhai.
There are not many people in Wenbao Zhai, that is, a dozen people. There are five floors in total.
"Master Yang?"
"What brings you here?"
"It's a rare visitor, a rare visitor."
Inside Wenbaozhai, the shopkeeper saw Yang Kai walking in, and immediately got up to greet him, Minister of Rites, this is a very big official, and he couldn't even invite him on weekdays.
But when he saw a group of officials behind Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he was stunned.
"Master Yang, what is this?"
The shopkeeper's curiosity.
"The treasurer."
"Does the shop sell it?"
Yang Kai made a sound and asked quietly.
Shopkeeper: "???"
"My lord, what do you mean?"
The shopkeeper was a little confused, not understanding what this meant.
"What are you still doing?"
"Grab it."
The next moment, Yang Kai couldn't bear it anymore, he let out a howl, and the officials behind him turned into hungry wolves and started to snatch it.
"This is a Shanhai brush, one thousand two hundred taels, hurry, hurry, grab it."
"Tianhe ink seal, Tianhe ink seal, characters written with this ink will not be melted for a thousand years, and will not be melted for a thousand years."
"Yunsini, Yunsini, hurry up and grab it."
"The top rice paper in Luoyang, hurry up, hurry up."
Hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Rituals, at this moment, there is nothing irrational or irrational. They take things when they see them. For them, these things are very valuable, and they can't afford them on weekdays.
Now that you have money and you can take it casually, you have to act quickly. If you are too late, you will lose everything.
"My lord, my lord, what's going on?"
"Did the little shop make adults angry?"
"My lord, if you are like this, I will report to the authorities."
The shopkeeper of Wenbaozhai was about to cry, all these items were worth a lot, and any one item was worth thousands of taels of silver.
If you really want to give it away, a little bit for each person is not a big problem.
On the contrary, he is happy.
But grab it directly, and grab it indiscriminately, who can resist it?
"Officer?"
"What officer are you reporting to?"
"The old man bought these things."
Yang Kai took out a stack of bank notes and threw them directly in the hands of the shopkeeper, full of pride.
"what?"
The latter lowered his head, looked at the thick stack of banknotes, and verified carefully that they were real banknotes.
And such a thick stack, at least 50 taels.
into his mother.
When did the Ministry of Rites become so rich?In the past, the Ministry of Rites came over to look at it for a day, and only came to criticize, and it was normal if they couldn't afford it.
Where does the money come from now?
"Is it enough?"
Yang Kai made a sound, and at this moment he was full of momentum.
"Enough, enough."
"Master Yang, this store also has the treasure of the store, the seal of Hetian Guyu, would you like to see it?"
Feeling such strong financial resources, the shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy, and even introduced the treasure of the store.
As soon as I heard the treasure of the town shop.
In an instant, hundreds of pairs of eyes fixed on the latter.
For a moment, the shopkeeper couldn't help but swallowed, trembling a little.
in this way.
After half an hour.
The entire Wenbaozhai was basically emptied, except for some really worthless things, there was nothing left.
With these things, the Ministry of Rites can be said to be full of rewards.
However, for Yang Kai, he was very disappointed, it only cost 58 taels of silver.
How should I spend the remaining 940 and [-] taels of silver?
Back to the Ministry of Rites.
Yang Kai asked everyone to put down these spoils, but told everyone the current situation.
Anyway, Gu Jinnian's meaning is very simple, spend as much money as you can, and you must spend it for others to see. In the process of enjoying yourself, you must let others see it.
If it wasn't for this, wouldn't it be easy to spend all the money?An average score is not enough.
He even took out part of the silver taels for everyone to share.
But most of the silver taels are left, which is still a lot.
So now we have to brainstorm.
"Master Yang, I have an idea, haven't we always wanted to build a temple?"
"Why don't our Ministry of Rites contribute money to build a temple of sages? Hire the best craftsmen to carve the ancient sages, and build a library. Firstly, it will be admired by future generations, and secondly, it can be regarded as an achievement of our Ministry of Rites. what."
Someone spoke up and made such an opinion.
"This is good, this is good."
"Then contact me immediately to see how much money you want. Remember, invite the best craftsman."
Yang Kai nodded.
He voted for this project.
"Master Yang, since we have built a temple of sages, how about publishing a book? Print a hundred million copies of the book we wrote, and give it to some poor places, so that some poor academies can have books to read. how?"
It was suggested that this idea is also very good.
"That's right."
Yang Kai nodded, but after a careful calculation, it was only a few million taels at most, and it still couldn't be spent.
For a while, everyone was in trouble.
In fact, how much money can I spend on normal food, drink and housing, including buying some good things?
You see, it costs only 58 taels of silver to evacuate a Wenbaozhai.
To build a temple for the sages, count him a little more expensive, 200 million taels of silver is enough.
Even if a book is published, twenty books and two million copies printed, how much money is it?It doesn't take much to print 200 million copies.
Yang Kai couldn't think of a place to spend money, to be precise, it is impossible for them scholars to gamble and spend it in some places they don't like.
It's like buying clothes or something, they don't like it very much.
In the end, Yang Kai thought about it and asked everyone to spend while they were brainstorming. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the Ministry of Rites, about [-] people. Everyone eats, drinks, lives and plays during this time, and the Ministry of Rites will pay for it all.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't cost much.
Too much money is really worrying.
There was no way, the money came so suddenly, and I gave so much in one go, I couldn't think of how to spend it all at once.
In comparison, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites are somewhat sensible.
At this moment, in the West City.
Qin Wangfei and Crown Princess appeared together in the West Market. The West Market itself is a place where rich people come, and the things they buy and sell are all high-end items.
On weekdays, some high-ranking officials and dignitaries appear.
But today, Qin Wangfei is on the right, and Crown Princess is on the left. The faces of the two are extremely calm, but the means of spending money stunned everyone.
Inside a silk shop.
The princess walked in, ordered a few bolts of silk without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, and then said slowly.
"Except for these few items, all are included."
"Yun Cui, take these silks and satins back to buy clothes for the servants in the mansion."
The crown princess spoke, and after saying this, she fluttered to the next shop.
Let the shopkeeper of silk and satin village be stupid.
His silks and satins cost 500 taels of silver a piece, and some of them are worth more than 1000 taels of silver. If you buy them all, 10 taels cannot escape.
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
But Princess Qin is more direct.
When she came to the largest jade shop in West City, before the shopkeeper could speak, the maid beside her had already spoken.
"Take out the most expensive jade in your shop, and don't take out the ones that are less than 5 taels of silver, so as not to dirty the eyes of the princess."
Concubine Qin's daily expenses are not small, but it is almost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Now, she is not cowardly at all, and the money is upright, so she is not afraid and speaks out directly.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly asked his servants to carefully bring some extremely precious jade articles.
It has to be said that each of these jade wares is more delicate than the last.
"This pair of jade gourds is pretty good. They are small and exquisite. I bought them and sent them to the princess."
Qin Wangfei glanced at the jade wares, a pair of jade gourds, exquisite and beautiful in appearance, and extremely beautiful in price.
12 taels of silver for a pair.
However, Princess Qin didn't even look at it, she just bought it and sent it to the Crown Princess.
This made the shopkeeper have to swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Damn it, the royal family is rich. I don’t know how many people have seen this pair of jade gourds, but how many people actually bought them so casually?
About half an hour later.
A voice sounded.
"younger sister."
As the voice sounded, it was the voice of the princess.
"It's my sister."
"Sister, do you still like this jade gourd?"
Seeing that the Crown Princess was coming, Princess Qin got up and said with a smile. Everyone is doing business together now, and the relationship has naturally become better.
"I like it very much."
"However, there is no sister who gives something to my sister."
"Come on, shopkeeper, what is the most expensive jade in your shop?"
"take it out."
The Crown Princess said, she wasn't trying to save face, but because she had too much money, and if someone sent something over, she had to send it back. Isn't that how reciprocity is like this?
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately took out a piece of jewelry, which was made of various gemstones and looked extremely beautiful.
The price is also extremely expensive.
35 taels of silver.
"Shopkeeper, send it to Prince Qin's residence."
"Yun Cui, pay."
The princess spoke lightly, and Yun Cui immediately took out a thick stack of banknotes and placed them directly on the table.
Everyone in the shop was dumbfounded.
Even the shopkeeper was completely stunned.
35 taels of silver, just give it if you say it?
You don't even pay back the price?
I'm a little scared.
in this way.
until night.
The entire capital of Daxia was extremely lively, especially the most high-end restaurants, which were almost all booked up.
And what happened today is spreading everywhere.
There are all kinds of guesses, but no one knows exactly what happened.
However, just after a hard day, the officials of the household department found a familiar restaurant, planned to drink wine, chat with each other, and then went home to rest.
They were shocked to find out.
All the well-known restaurants in Kyoto have been booked.
It's the job of the Ministry of Industry.
It was full of artisans.
All of a sudden, the household officials became paralyzed.
When did the Ministry of Industry become so rich?
At the moment, not long after, someone spread the news to the Minister of the Household Department.
In He Mansion.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, He Yan couldn't help frowning.
"Is it really the work of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Work?"
He Yan frowned, he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Master, it's absolutely true. The subordinates have confirmed it three times, and the situation is true."
The latter spoke and told He Yandao.
"Is this unreasonable?"
"Didn't the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites keep calling you poor?"
"Oh."
"It should be the Daxia Everbright City who divided the accounts."
"The sales of Longmi in Jiangzhong are indeed not bad. They have made some money."
He Yan was a little puzzled at first, but soon thought of the only possibility.
"Master Shangshu, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites behaved like this as soon as they had some money, and just now I heard that our people met officials from the Ministry of Industry, and those officials from the Ministry of Industry clamored one by one, asking how the people in our household department Do not go to the restaurant."
"It's really a bit arrogant."
The latter spoke, looking a little unconvinced.
Hearing this, He Yan's voice could not help but ring out coldly.
"That's fine."
"Tomorrow, when I go to the court, I will play to His Majesty, cut some of their funds, and see if they dare to be so arrogant."
"The Ministry of Industry allocated 150 million taels a few days ago, and the Ministry of Rites required 90 taels."
"The Great Xia Nightless City is estimated to be distributed to them, and it is only four to five million taels of silver. Such a squandering will be spent in less than a month."
"It's not easy to handle them."
He Yan spoke.
In fact, he is mainly a little uncomfortable, tastes a little sour.
Revenge or not revenge is secondary.
The main thing is that it looks uncomfortable.
Spend money indiscriminately.
Really are.
in this way.
The next day.
It was just dawn.
A new day of worship is about to begin.
Two in one
So the update is late.
Ask for a monthly pass! ! ! ! ! !
(End of this chapter)
East Palace.
Following Wei Xian's voice, the expressions of Yang Kai and Crown Prince Li Gao couldn't help but change.
Why did Wei Xian come to the East Palace in the middle of the night?
And what is repaying silver?
What money?
What are you talking about?
Li Gao was full of curiosity, but he still walked outside the mansion.
Outside the mansion, Wei Xian stood respectfully not far away, with some eunuchs standing beside him.
I saw the prince coming.
Wei Xian immediately took out the bank note and handed it to the prince.
"Prince, this is the repayment that His Majesty asked your slaves to give you."
Wei Xian laughed and said.
Looking at the stack of bank notes in his hand, the prince was a little curious and couldn't help but look at the other party.
"Eunuch Wei Xian, what do you mean by repaying the money? My father doesn't owe me any money."
Li Gao spoke, full of doubts and curiosity, he really didn't understand what it meant.
Seeing the prince's confused face, Wei Xian smiled slightly.
"Prince, have you done business with Marquis Tianming?"
Wei Xian asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Hearing this, the prince looked a little nervous, not understanding what the other party meant.
"It's like this. Your Majesty thinks that Lord Hou's business is still a bit unsafe, so he spent 10 taels of gold from the internal treasury to repay the crown prince instead of Lord Hou. This cooperation ends here, and I hope that the crown prince will not blame him. Marquis."
Wei Xian spoke out, telling the latter what Emperor Yongsheng meant.
But listen to this.
Li Gao was stunned for a moment.
He felt a stream of blood rushing directly to the Tianling Cap from under his feet.
Good guy.
You want to cut off your ass, right?
Seeing getting rich, you want to cut off your beard?
Is it really that cruel?
People don't eat like tigers, and you usually don't give me much money, and you managed to earn some money by your own skills, so you're just like this, right?
Do you still look like a father?
This was the idea in Li Gao's mind.
It popped out almost all at once.
Today, Daxia Everbright City made a profit of 18 taels of silver, and I have ten chips on hand, which means that just today, I earned 8000 to 800 taels of silver, which is a profit of [-] taels of gold.
With this money, I can do whatever I want in the future, and I don't have to live a hard life anymore.
But what I didn't expect was, damn it, His Majesty suddenly made this move?
Help Jinnian pay back the money to himself?
What does it mean?
You want to say that this is not cutting Hu?Li Gao didn't believe it at all.
Why don't you come early, don't come late, why come at this time?
"Prince, prince? Why are you silent?"
"Are you too happy?"
Wei Xian opened his mouth, a little confused, why the prince didn't speak for a long time.
"You wait here."
"wait for me."
Li Gao felt a little dizzy, he didn't know what to say.
Let Wei Xian wait here.
He walked into the front hall by himself.
When he came to the front hall, Yang Kai couldn't help but hastily walked over to see the Prince who stumbled and looked ugly.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Kai was a little surprised, this prince was alive and well before, and he felt very happy, why did he go out now and become like this.
"Master Yang, I really can't bear it."
"My royal father is afraid that he knows about this deal and wants to intercept it."
The prince was trembling when he spoke, and his mood was very low.
"What the hell happened?"
"How did you become like this?"
The Crown Princess also doesn't understand the situation, so it's okay to be woken up in the middle of the night, and suddenly she says she's getting rich, and then she's downcast here?
Is this sick?
"You know the shit."
"Do you still remember that we invested in Jinnian's business?"
The prince was helpless, he looked at the princess and said so.
"Remember, what's the matter? Isn't it 2 taels of gold? Didn't it open recently?"
"How is the business? I heard people say that the business is not bad, is it?"
The princess is a little bit awakened. She heard that the slaves also mentioned the matter of Daxia's Nightless City in the past few days, but because she couldn't leave at will, she didn't get to know it deeply.
"not bad?"
"Do you know how much money Jinnian made in this business just yesterday?"
The prince was a little excited. When he mentioned this matter, he was very excited and uncomfortable.
"how much?"
"You are a dignified prince, what world has you never seen? One million taels of silver or two million taels of silver?"
The Crown Princess frowned a little, it was a little embarrassing to be so fierce to herself in front of outsiders.
Besides, if it is really two million taels a day, so what?To do business, there must be costs and losses, how much can you really get?
And I only have two chips on hand, everyone put together, that is to say, ten chips.
Even if you make some money, so what?I am the crown princess, the future queen, what world has I never seen?
To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the strict control of the royal family, if she wanted to collect some filial money.
Millions of taels of silver are easily available, how many people are willing to give themselves silver?
"Oh, one million taels, two million taels? It's really a woman's opinion."
"Master Yang, tell her how much you earned yesterday."
Li Gao was really annoyed and speechless.
Now his mood is extraordinarily complicated.
Hearing this, Yang Kai was a little helpless, he didn't know what happened, but what he could know was that it was definitely not a good thing.
"Back to the Crown Princess, I received the credit yesterday, about 18 taels of silver."
Yang Kai made a sound, even if he knew this number, whenever he said it, Yang Kai himself felt a little unreal.
"what?"
"Ten million taels of silver?"
In an instant, the dissatisfied Crown Princess froze in place. She was completely stunned, unable to speak a word.
To be honest, from the expression and tone of the crown prince, even if Yang Kai said 1000 million taels of silver, the crown princess would not be too shocked, and pretended to have seen the world.
But the problem is, 18 taels of silver is really an astronomical figure, even if she is a princess, she can't afford it.
"Stupid?"
"Are you calling again this time?"
Seeing the princess's expression, Li Gao was a little annoyed.
"Is that impossible?"
"How could it be possible to earn 18 taels of silver?"
"How did you earn it?"
The Crown Princess ignored Li Gao, but was full of doubts, thinking it was impossible.
Hearing this, Yang Kai gave the land deed to the Crown Princess.
"Crown Princess, take a look, this is the land deed price that was traded yesterday."
"Great Summer Night City attracts all the people in Kyoto to go, and some people from the surrounding prefectures also come to join in the fun. As a result, some businessmen see business opportunities and want to buy shops."
"Crown Princess, you may not know that in the Great Summer Night City, a shop selling sugar water earns 1000 taels of silver per hour."
"It's just selling sugar water."
"So, a shop in a good location costs 1000 million taels, a medium shop costs 500 million taels, and a shop that is close to it costs 200 million taels."
"In other words, if all these shops are sold out, the income should be 50 million taels of silver."
"Among them, there are [-] shops with the best locations, which will be reserved for future auctions."
"Besides, there are night markets in the city that never sleeps. Thousands of shops and stalls are only rented and not sold. The annual rental income may be as high as tens of millions of taels of silver."
"The department store has things like official salt, dragon rice, and mirrors, which can ensure that people come here continuously."
"These businessmen saw the opportunity, and each one was more generous than the other. According to Lord Hou, all the shops will be sold and rented out within seven days."
Yang Kai made a sound and informed the Crown Princess of the specific situation.
After hearing this, the princess was completely numb. There was nothing in her mind, only silver and gold.
50 million silver income?
I invested ten chips, that is to say, I can get fifty million taels of silver. How terrifying is this wealth?
Her natal family can be regarded as the existence of a local wealthy family, and the family property of several million can still be taken out. If you really want to say, it is not a big problem to squeeze out 1000 million taels of silver.
How can the princess's family be bad?
But what is the concept of fifty million taels of silver?Even if she doesn't understand government affairs, she also knows that the annual national tax in Daxia is only [-] million taels of silver.
National tax for one year.
This means that in the future, as long as I am interested in and like things, I can buy them by myself?
As a crown princess, she is naturally a dignitary of the Great Xia Dynasty. If she really likes something, she can naturally get it, but the problem is, who will pay for it?
Various shops, dignitaries, including the wives of some courtiers, lined up to pay for themselves.
But because of the Crown Princess, she knows that some things cannot be accepted, no matter how much she likes them, she can't accept them, because if she accepts them, she has to do things for others, if it's done, it's easy to say, if it's not done, it will be troublesome.
My husband is the prince, don't even mention any achievements, as long as I don't make mistakes, my husband can become the emperor, and I am the queen.
mother of a nation.
In such a situation, it must not add chaos.
But as a woman, let me ask you, if you see beautiful jewellery, beautiful jewellery, or interesting ones, let’s not even talk about other things, let the imperial dining room open a small stove, take care of the servants, and go out, where do you not want money?
It's like last time, I went to a certain Shangshu's house to find my best friend, what happened?
After I went there, I was not willing to give a reward, so I spread some rumors.
What women care about most is face.
And now, if he had fifty million taels of silver, would he still care about these things?
In the future, when you go out, you can give various rewards and expenses, buy what you like, and buy what you don’t like.
What?If you don't like it, why buy it?
I'm sorry, but what I have is money, and I can't spend it all. Why don't I buy it?
Thinking of this, the Crown Princess has completely ignored the Crown Prince's abuse just now, but looked at Li Gaodao.
"Prince, why are you so unhappy about such a profitable business?"
"Did I provoke you?"
"If I say something wrong, you can just speak up. I will reflect on myself and I won't provoke you."
The Crown Princess spoke in an extremely gentle tone, without any sense of arrogance just now, and seemed a little cautious.
"His Royal Highness, what happened here? Why are you so unhappy, Your Highness?"
"How did His Majesty know about this?"
Yang Kai was also a little curious, before going out, he was still happy and cheerful, why did he look like this after he came back?
"I am not sure as well."
"Wei Xian is standing outside now, carrying the banknote. I wonder if my father knows that this business is profitable, and also knows that I have invested a lot. Now that he is making money, he wants to grab it directly."
The prince was in an extremely bad mood. If this was the case, he really didn't know what to do.
It's impossible to rebel, right?
"impossible."
Yang Kai frowned, he looked outside the hall, although he couldn't see Wei Xian.
When the princess heard this, her expression changed.
"The old man wants to cut off his beard?"
"It doesn't make sense. Didn't the old man always say that? He said that Jinnian's business would lose money. Now that he has made money, he wants to get his hands dirty?"
"Where is such a rule?"
Hearing this, the Crown Princess was also upset. Although this is the old man and the Emperor of Daxia, it is impossible to act recklessly like this.
They have assumed the investment risk, and now that they have finally made money, you just want to cut it off. How can there be any reason for this?
"No, no, no."
"Prince, you wait here for a while, and the old minister will ask."
Yang Kai felt something was wrong, His Majesty couldn't possibly know the income, after all, only a few of them could know, unless Gu Jinnian went to inform him.
But Gu Jinnian doesn't have to be like this.
And the speed is too fast, even if you want to tip off the news, it is impossible to be so fast.
After saying this, Yang Kai rushed outside directly.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Yang Kai rushed back excitedly.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, His Royal Highness, you are wrong, it is not that His Majesty wants to cut off the barbarian."
"It's His Majesty who feels that Jinnian, the city that never sleeps in summer, is doomed to lose money. He is afraid that you will be dissatisfied after losing money, so he wants to replace Jinnian and return the principal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yang Kai walked over quickly, and told the Crown Prince the ins and outs of the future.
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately stood up.
"Really?"
The prince spoke, looking extremely excited.
"It really is."
"His Royal Highness, think about it, if His Majesty really knows that the Great Xia Everbright City is so profitable."
"Why does Your Majesty stare at you? He should be looking for the Marquis of Destiny. The veteran knows that the people who participated in the Great Xia Night City are nothing more than the veteran, as well as Mr. Wang, you, the prince, His Highness King Qin, and the Gu family."
"Let's add up, it's only about [-] chips, and there are [-] chips left. Your Majesty really wants it. Asking Jinnian for [-] chips is a hundred times better than fighting with you, right?"
"You misunderstood."
Yang Kai explained, and analyzed this matter rationally from his own perspective.
After saying this, the prince really came to his senses.
That's right, if you really want to cut off Hu, wouldn't it be enough to go directly to Jinnian?If you are polite, ask for [-]%; if you are not polite, ask for [-]%.
No matter how shameless my old man is, he won't want all of them, right?
That son is about to rebel against you.
"Blame me for being too impulsive at the moment."
"So it is."
"Then Master Yang, I will let Eunuch Wei Xian go back directly."
Li Gao opened his mouth and said so.
"kindness."
"However, Your Highness should be tactful in what you say later, and tell Eunuch Wei Xian that if you invest the money, whether you lose money or not, whether you make money or not is a trivial matter, the main thing is to make Jinnian happy."
"The reason why your Majesty helped Jinnian to refund the silver is actually a good thing. Your Highness, you will be the emperor of Daxia in the future, and Jinnian is now the number one lord of Daxia, the mainstay of Daxia. Your Majesty is also afraid that Jinnian will make you lose money." gone."
"You have a grudge in your heart, and there will be any unnecessary conflicts in the future, so you will do this. If His Highness refuses directly, the old minister is worried that His Majesty will have doubts. Now His Majesty has no idea how much money this Great Summer Night City can earn. .”
"But if His Highness's attitude is abnormal, His Majesty notices it, and then sends someone to investigate carefully, the matter in the capital itself cannot escape His Majesty's eyes."
"If you really want to let His Majesty know, it will be different. A few days ago, His Majesty was still thinking about going to war against the Huns, but it was nothing more than a lack of silver. Now that the silver is delivered to the door, His Majesty has no reason not to want it."
"But if you let His Majesty know later, let Jinnian share a sum of money with everyone, and secondly spend the money, then His Majesty has nothing to do."
"What do you think?"
Yang Kai made a sound, this is the way he thought about it.
why is it like this?
Isn't it because there is still your own money in it?To put it bluntly, the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, but he, Yang Kai, is not the son of Emperor Yongsheng?
Hurry up to divide the accounts, hurry up and spend the money, even if Emperor Yongsheng knows, they will not lose money, the money is all spent, what else can you do?
It's nothing more than a foot in it.
"Master Yang is really smart."
"I'm going now."
Li Gao made a sound, and after he finished speaking, he was going to have a good chat with Wei Xian.
"Your Highness must show that the money is intended to win over Gu Jinnian. After the settlement of Eunuch Wei Xian, the old minister and His Highness will go to Qin Wangfu to find Jinnian. Jinnian is in Qin Wangfu, just in time to discuss the matter of dividing the accounts."
Yang Kai said.
"it is good."
The prince nodded, and then walked outside quickly.
When he came to Wei Xian again, Li Gao was full of smiles, but his attitude was completely different.
"Eunuch Wei, take this banknote back and tell the old man that I don't care about the loss or profit of the money invested in Jinnian, as long as Jinnian is happy."
"Jinnian is the mainstay of my Great Xia. A mere tens of thousands of taels of gold is nothing. Please also ask Eunuch Wei to pass on these words to the old man."
Li Gao made a sound and said so.
As soon as this remark came out, Wei Xian was a little surprised. Who in the entire capital didn't know that this prince was the most stingy prince in the whole world?
In the past, no matter what happened in the palace, as long as it talked about money, the crown prince would immediately change his face, not to mention being full of civil and military affairs, even Emperor Yongsheng would not be able to open his mouth.
As a result, the country does not need the approval of the Ministry of Households to do some things later, because the Minister of the Ministry of Households will only say a word.
If the prince agrees, I agree.
So the name of Prince Iron Rooster spread.
Now that he has invested tens of thousands of taels of gold and is about to face a loss, the prince doesn't care about it?
This is a little surprised?
But no matter how surprised he was, Wei Xian would naturally listen to what the crown prince said.
"Since the crown prince is so benevolent, the servant understands."
"His Royal Highness, please rest assured, the slaves will definitely tell His Majesty."
Wei Xian nodded.
After saying this, I will leave.
"Please trouble Eunuch Wei."
Li Gao yelled, but Wei Xian didn't dare to take it too seriously, he immediately bowed, and then led the people away.
In this way, the prince returned to the main hall.
Tell Yang Kai what he said just now, Yang Kai nodded after listening, and then said.
"In that case, His Royal Highness, Crown Princess, let's go to Prince Qin's Mansion?"
The sound fell.
The princess smiled gently.
"I'm not going."
"Prince, you can go directly. I am a woman, and I am afraid that I will say something wrong."
The crown princess spoke, a little embarrassed, it was completely modified.
The previous pungentness is gone.
"Go, you can also listen to what Jinnian said, lest I forget something."
Seeing the appearance of the princess like this, the prince is very happy in his heart, he finally straightened up and became a big man for a while.
"That's fine, but I'm going. If you say something wrong, you have to remind me, Prince, no, I will try my best to keep silent, so as not to cause any trouble."
The princess nodded.
In front of so much money, any problems are no longer a problem, what is the princess?Everything is easy to talk about if you have money.
In this way, the three braved the night and left the palace.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Wei Xian told Emperor Yongsheng verbatim what the prince said.
After listening to it, Emperor Yongsheng was a little puzzled.
"This prince really said so?"
Emperor Yongsheng was really puzzled, this knowing son is like a father, he naturally knows what kind of character his son is.
Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of gold, even if it is thousands of Wen, whoever makes his son lose money will probably suffer for a month.
Not to mention so much silver.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. He couldn't imagine that the prince would change his nature.
"Your Majesty, slaves dare not lie, these are indeed the words of the crown prince."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and answered seriously.
"Strange."
"This business at a loss, the prince really doesn't feel bad?"
Emperor Yongsheng frowned slightly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
However, Wei Xian couldn't help but speak.
"His Majesty."
"Could it mean that the prince actually knows that this business is a loss, but the prestige of Marquis Tianming is extremely high. Although this is a loss-making business, for the prince, this business can't lose much."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
Having said that, it is also a way of thinking.
"It's possible."
Emperor Yongsheng instantly understood the meaning of Wei Xian's words.
"In that case, let them go."
"Anyway, good words are hard to persuade. Since they like to lose money, let them lose money."
"I have said what I should say, and I have done what I should do."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer, what could he say?
"Your Majesty has done a good job."
"The prince is also very moved."
"However, is this money brought back to the inner treasury?"
Wei Xian asked with a smile.
"Don't take it, donate it to the three major disaster areas. After a while, let the courtiers donate some money."
"Also, let the imperial dining room pay attention in the future. From 48 dishes to six dishes, I have to be more diligent and thrifty. The three major disaster areas are uncertain, so I have always followed this standard, which can be regarded as an example."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth, and he was also very direct, reducing his basic necessities of life.
"Your Majesty is truly wise."
Wei Xian knelt down and worshiped on the ground, while Emperor Yongsheng just continued to approve the memorial.
at the same time.
Inside the Qin Palace.
In the lobby.
King Qin also stared blankly at the land deed in his hand, feeling numb all over.
"Jinnian, what do you mean to say that I have made a profit of 600 million taels of silver just after the Great Xia Everbright City was opened for a few days?"
Qin Wang swallowed, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't even believe it.
Damn it, he controls a military camp. To be honest, he has suffered a lot over the years, right?In addition to his own princess, there are still some subordinates who will pay filial piety to themselves.
All together, there is no thirty-eight million taels of silver?
Money can turn the devil around.
As the prince of Daxia, he understood this sentence very well. With money, he can do everything easily.
Without money, let alone your Lord Daxia, Emperor Daxia, and Emperor Yongsheng are very difficult to do things.
Thirty-eight million.
Back then, I invested this money to give Gu Jinnian a face. Since my younger brother likes it, I let my younger brother come.
But I didn't expect that this was unintentional.
"Damn it."
"If I know how profitable your business is, I'll be proud, brother."
King Qin was a little demented.
Subconsciously said this.
But as soon as he said this, King Qin immediately took it back, looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Does the old man know about this?"
King Qin asked.
"Uncle doesn't know yet, brother, I let uncle enter the fund before, but he didn't enter. Now that he has earned money, why tell him?"
Gu Jinnian is very straightforward. If you invest, I will share the account with you. If you don't invest, why tell you?
"It's a good thing, don't tell the old man about this. According to the old man's personality, if you know how profitable this business is, I'm afraid."
King Qin opened his mouth and reminded Gu Jinnian.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, together with Minister of Rites Yang Kai and Lord Yang, are visiting outside the residence."
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
As the voice sounded, King Qin's eyes were a little curious.
"In the middle of the night, what is the prince looking for me for?"
However, although he was a little curious, he still asked his servants to invite him immediately.
There was some estrangement between King Qin and the crown prince before, but when the matter is over, it will be over. No matter what he thinks in his heart, on the surface, he still needs to be respected by brothers and friends.
At this moment, King Qin's voice sounded.
"Let the princess come to the front hall."
As he opened his mouth, the servants immediately went to call for the princess.
Gu Jinnian looked very calm, as if he guessed that the prince would come.
Not long after.
Prince Li Gao, Crown Princess, and Yang Kai appeared in the lobby one after another.
"Second brother."
"His Royal Highness King Qin."
Both of them were very enthusiastic, but their eyes fell on Gu Jinnian immediately.
"I have seen His Royal Highness."
King Qin also stood up and bowed to the prince. Although the two were brothers, the prince's status was much higher than him, and he needed to be honored.
"Second brother, don't be so polite."
"Second brother, don't blame me for disturbing you late at night."
The prince smiled and said.
"The prince's visit late at night, shouldn't it be to find Brother Yu?"
King Qin made a sound and glanced at Gu Jinnian.
"Hahaha."
"Brother, I'll cut to the chase. I'm here to find Jinnian."
The prince smiled, and then sat down. At this time, Princess Qin also came in, said hello to the prince and others, and sat aside.
Watching everyone sit down.
Gu Jinnian spoke up directly.
"His Royal Highness."
"Princess."
"Yang Shangshu."
"The three of you came to visit late at night, presumably because of the affairs of the Great Xia City that Never Sleeps."
"Since everyone is here, let me express my point of view. If everyone agrees, follow my plan. If you have any other opinions, just say so directly, so as not to get emotional."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
He knows what the prince and others are here for, so he might as well get straight to the point by himself, so as not to embarrass you or me.
"Okay, okay, brother Jinnian can say anything."
"Everything respects the meaning of Lord Marquis."
The crowd nodded.
"Currently, Daxia Everbright City has received 18 taels of silver. I estimate that within seven days, I can get 50 taels of silver."
"I have two ideas for this amount of money. One is to build the Great Xia Nightless City better, with some amazing scenery, places to visit, including accommodation and meals, night market lanterns, everything you expect."
"If this project is fully implemented, it will cost approximately 20 taels of silver. I discussed it with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. 20 people will be used to speed up the construction, and it will be fully completed within two months."
"But the time I gave Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is only one and a half months."
"After the Great Xia Nightless City is completely perfected, one hundred million taels of silver will be used to subsidize the common people. The official salt and dragon rice will naturally be lowered, including research and development of some new items, such as crystal mirrors. All of these need silver."
"This is done to stabilize the number of tourists. The more tourists there are, the more businesses will earn. In this way, when the next city that never sleeps is built, the prices of the shops will be higher."
"The remaining 20 taels of silver, [-] taels of silver, will be used to increase the manpower of employees, plus various welfare bonuses, and another [-] taels of silver will be used to promote the city that never sleeps in Xiaxia, including formulating playbooks for shops, and random Sex gives all kinds of gifts."
"Let the common people have fun, and let these businessmen who buy shops get substantial returns. Otherwise, if you buy shops at such a high price, if you don't make them happy, it will be difficult to do business in the future."
"The remaining one hundred thousand taels of silver will be shared with everyone."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt a little emotional. The 50 taels of silver was spent in such a way. I don't know why, and I feel a little distressed.
"Does it need to be done so quickly?"
Yang Kai made a sound and couldn't help asking.
Spending 20 taels of silver to speed up the construction of the Great Xia Nightless City is a bit exaggerated, because it only needs [-] taels of silver to build it at the speed of one year.
Why waste this silver?
"It has to be fast."
"People's curiosity is only a little bit. Nowadays, the most attractive things in Daxia Night City are department stores and restaurants, but what are these two things?"
"In less than two months, the number of people who come to the city that never sleeps will be greatly reduced. What's the purpose of coming? It's nothing more than buying official salt and dragon rice, and at most some small things. It doesn't make much sense."
"In this case, the surrounding shops will inevitably suffer from poor business."
"And if the various landscapes of the Great Xia Nightless City are built, including the Garden of Beasts, when all these things are completed, the people will have more choices when coming to the Great Xia Nightless City."
"When a gifted man or a beautiful woman comes for an outing, they pass by a rouge gouache shop to buy some rouge gouache, pass by a bookstore, and buy some books. If they come across a Wenbao shop, they can buy some of the Four Treasures of the Study, and the storekeeper earns money, so they will feel that the store is worth buying."
"When a family of ordinary people comes to visit, even if they don't want to spend any money, it's not too much to buy a bowl of sugar water, and it's not too much to eat a bunch of candied haws. It's also a waste of money to have lunch and buy some small things to go home."
"The merchant earns the money spent, and the value of the store will increase."
"Master Yang should understand this truth."
Gu Jinnian said with a firm attitude.
Customer flow is the first choice of any business logic, and accurate customer flow is the most important thing. The two biggest profit points of Daxia Everbright City are shops and residences.
Gu Jinnian will press down on the housing plan first, and there is no rush for the time being. We will wait until the Great Xia Everbright City is completely famous all over the world, and then start building housing. That is the time to maximize the benefits.
The shops are the most profitable, and the rest of the restaurants and scenic spots are all long-term profits, and the short-term profits still depend on the shops.
Naturally, it is necessary for these merchants to make a lot of money, preferably in half a year, so that they can demand high prices in the next big summer city that never sleeps.
"understood."
"In terms of business, the old man is far behind Master Hou."
What Gu Jinnian said was easy to understand, how could Yang Kai not understand?
He sighed.
But the prince's voice continued to sound.
"I understand subsidizing research and development of new products, what does this guy mean by increasing benefits?"
The prince didn't understand what welfare meant, so he asked.
"Brother Prince."
"If you want the city that never sleeps to have a good reputation, you don't just rely on the guests. These guys are even more important."
"I plan to let these guys live better and eat better. They work every day, and when they go back to their residences, someone will wash their clothes for them, someone will cook for them, and their salaries are not low. They will even set up special private schools for them. The children of children go to school here, and their families can go to the scenic spots for free and get various benefits.”
"In this way, these guys will use the greatest enthusiasm to do things for us and solve their worries. First, they are reluctant to part with this job. Second, they can also earn silver taels. Third, the whole family can enjoy various activities. Preferential treatment, so that when others know their situation."
"I can only envy. When I hear who is working in the Great Xia Night City, they will show envious eyes. In this way, this word of mouth will be completely solidified. From all aspects, it must be a good place to build the Great Xia Night City."
"It's fun, interesting, convenient for life, and beneficial to the common people. Merchants have the way of the merchants, and the common people have the way of the common people. Then when we go to build the Great Xia Nightless City, we can get support from all over the place, whether it is the support of local governments, or The support from the people has been extremely good.”
Gu Jinnian spoke up and explained what welfare is.
"understood."
"Jinnian is really a great talent. A guy can live so comfortably. In the future, when he goes to build cities that never sleep, he won't be afraid of someone secretly making trouble. The will of the people cannot be violated. Besides, all counties and prefectures are naturally willing to cooperate."
The crown prince nodded and understood what Gu Jinnian meant.
But what Gu Jinnian said next surprised them a little.
"If you agree, there are two more things I want to say."
"First, after the accounts are divided, I hope that you will spend as much money as you have, don't be stingy, and don't save any money, just spend as hard as you can. If you can spend 100 taels of silver, don't spend 80 taels of silver."
"Secondly, the Great Xia Nightless City has a total of one hundred chips. At present, the prince brother, the princess concubine, the empress, the old queen mother, brother Qin Wang, the Gu family, Wang Fugui, Su Huaiyu, Wang Shangshu, and Yang Shangshu occupy twenty chips."
"There are 20 chips left, and I own [-] chips, so I plan to bring in [-] more chips for the remaining [-] chips."
"These 20 people must be important officials of the court, but there is no need to ask others to join in, but as long as they open their mouths, let them join in. Of course, the money to be raised is 5 taels of gold."
"The remaining ten chips will be distributed to the local governments. In this way, under the bondage of interests, the business will only get better and bigger. Of course, all this is only limited to the Daxia Dynasty. If Daxia Outside of Dynasty, there are other algorithms, so I won’t talk about it now.”
Gu Jinnian spoke.
Tell everyone about equity.
He still wants to attract more people in, and the purpose of pulling everyone in is also very simple, that is, to become bigger and stronger.
In fact, the ten people who have entered the fund can already shake the entire Great Xia Dynasty, but it is still not enough, because it is a business, and the more winners, the better.
Even if there is a voice of opposition, I am afraid that it will be criticized by countless people in an instant.
It's like what the Minister of the Ministry of household said.
Isn't he not looking good at Daxia Everbright City?
If he knows that Daxia Everbright City makes money, and then has the opportunity to get in, once he gets in, look at He Yan's attitude?
Whoever dared to sing bad words about the city that never sleeps, He Yan rushed out immediately and beat him up.
It's that simple.
"this is okay."
"It's possible, but if you do this, the old man will have some troubles to explain."
Yang Kai agreed, but the crown prince thought of Emperor Yongsheng, he always felt that doing this was a bit of a clique for personal gain.
Oh, no, this is no longer forming a party for personal gain, this is joining together.
"Brother, don't worry."
"This city that never sleeps is something His Majesty promised. Besides, I have fifty chips, what can uncle say about me?"
"Besides, it's not that I don't pay taxes. The old uncle said that the first 20 years are tax-free. I'm being more polite. I'll be tax-free for ten years. After ten years, all 72 counties must have the Great Xia Night City."
"Just the normal rent, there are millions of taels of silver in a year. According to 30% of the commercial tax, the annual national tax revenue is [-] million taels of silver. What can the old man say?"
Gu Jinnian disagreed.
Anyway, Emperor Yongsheng agreed to this matter, the majestic emperor, it is impossible to play tricks, right?
No credit at all?
"That's true."
"I can't change anyone else, but if it's you Jinnian, the old man really can't say anything."
"Okay, I think it's appropriate."
The prince nodded.
Indeed, changing someone else is definitely not going to work. What can you do if the label of forming a party and seeking selfish interests is removed?
But Gu Jinnian is different.
Does Gu Jinnian need to form a party for personal gain?He alone is the biggest party, the future Confucian sage, the first prince of the Great Xia, all the auras added to Gu Jinnian, how many times have he saved the Great Xia?
To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian can live without Da Xia, but Da Xia cannot live without Gu Jinnian.
That's true.
So there is really nothing to say about taking everyone to do business together, and if you really pay taxes later, then there is nothing to say.
"wrong."
"Jinnian, if you follow this distribution, don't you say you want to open a new never-sleep city? This newly-opened never-sleep city will cost a lot of money, and all the money on hand will be spent. If Daxia's never-sleep city earns slowly, How long do I have to wait?"
At this moment, King Qin's voice sounded, and he was a little puzzled, feeling that Gu Jinnian had settled a score.
"Brother, don't worry, if the Great Xia Night City in Kyoto can really go according to plan."
"The next city that never sleeps, believe it or not, as long as we choose a place and don't build it, countless businessmen will give us this money."
Gu Jinnian said confidently.
This is not what he said, as long as the Great Xia Night City can really become famous all over the world, no, it doesn't need to be famous all over the world, as long as it can make the Great Xia Dynasty famous, as long as Gu Jinnian opens his mouth to set up a Night City in a certain county.
All businessmen from all over the country will flock here.
why?
Because merchants seek profit, the shops in Daxia Everbright City earn money, and they want to buy better ones, but can other merchants sit still?
Who doesn't want to earn a stable profit?
Moreover, it was opened by Gu Jinnian, the First Marquis of Great Xia, and he was not afraid of being troubled by others. This alone attracted many businessmen.
"I see."
King Qin figured it out immediately.
"Row."
"If there are no major problems, I will send the bank notes to your families tomorrow."
"Then just spend it hard."
"Don't worry about it."
"I'll go first."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, and got up to leave after saying this.
"Let's go together, let's go together."
The prince stood up and wanted to go with Gu Jinnian, and King Qin also sent him off.
After the people left, Qin Wang looked at the moonlight and couldn't help muttering to himself with a sigh of emotion.
"My brother is really smart."
He made a sound, and walked towards the front hall without any hesitation after speaking. At this time, Princess Qin was still sitting there stupidly.
It wasn't until King Qin spoke that Concubine Qin came to her senses.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"My lord, how much can our family get?"
Qin Wangfei swallowed her saliva, looked at Qin Wang and asked.
"Our family has made two chips, let's share 2000 million taels of silver."
"The king won't go out these few days, you take the money and spend it."
"Take care of the people under you, don't be stingy."
King Qin was just shocked, but he didn't care about spending money on things like this. He used money only for favors.
"Good good."
"My lord, leave it to the concubine, and the concubine will handle it properly."
Qin Wangfei's eyes lit up with excitement.
Although her daily expenses are not small, who would think that money is too much?
That's it.
By the next day.
Three things happened.
the first.
In Daxia Everbright City, the businessmen who bought the shops were exempted from tax for three years. On that day, all the shops were sold out. It was originally a shop that was intended to be rented, but the other party directly bought it with money.
second.
noon.
A carriage mysteriously went to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Prince's Mansion, Prince Qin's Mansion, and the Gu family.
Several large boxes were brought down.
third.
A new official named Chang Yuntian came to Yushitai, which attracted some attention.
Because Chang Yuntian took out half a volume of scriptures on the Mandate of Heaven, it was really a merit, and it was also eye-catching.
Now, under the joint recommendation of King Qin and Su Wenjing, he has entered the Yushitai, and is the Yushi Yanguan, a fifth-rank official.
It's not high, but it can go up.
Three o'clock noon.
Ministry of Industry.
The sun is poisonous.
Some officials were sweating profusely and went into the Ministry of Industry to rest.
"Oh, the weather is really hot to death."
"Yes, well, the people in the Ministry of Industry are really miserable. Look at the people in the Ministry of Households, they can still buy some sour plum juice to drink. We can only buy it with our own money. The Ministry of Industry is really miserable."
"Funds have been reduced. Although there was no plum juice before, at least there is something to relieve the heat. Now there is nothing."
"After all, we are still poor. If we have money, what kind of plum juice should we drink? Let's just drink iced plum juice."
"Don't think about it. At least Yuanwailang can drink this thing. We still want to drink iced plum juice? Think too much, but you are really thirsty when you say this, why don't we go buy a piece of ice, Take a little for each person, let's drink some tree fruit."
The officials gathered together. They are all ordinary officials from the Ministry of Industry. Their monthly salary is not much, and they can barely support a large family. .
This one-meter-high piece of ice cost at least two taels of silver, which they were reluctant to part with.
It is acceptable to buy some crushed ice.
But right now.
Appeal!
Appeal!
Appeal!
There was a sound of horseshoes, and carriages appeared here, and soon hundreds of strong men appeared, bringing in chunks of ice from the carriages.
At a glance, there are at least several hundred pieces of huge ice. This piece of huge ice is two meters high and costs at least five taels of silver.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
"Why are you transporting so much ice? Is it a mistake?"
The entire Ministry of Industry was a little surprised.
Soon, a middle-aged man walked in with a smile.
"May I ask if Master Xu Yun is here?"
He opened his mouth.
After saying this, an old man stepped forward with a curious look on his face.
"you are?"
he asked curiously.
"My lord, Caomin is from the ice store, and these ices were ordered by Master Shangshu."
"A total of 400 yuan of giant ice, please check and collect it."
The latter opened his mouth and informed the situation.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was completely shocked.
400 yuan of ice, that is, 2000 taels of silver, the ice will melt within a day, isn't it too extravagant?
"Ah, this, how much money does this cost?"
Xu Yun swallowed, he couldn't understand, the Ministry of Industry's annual surplus silver is only more than 30 taels, how could it be able to support such consumption.
"My lord, Lord Shangshu has already sent someone to pay the money, you just need to check it."
The latter said with a smile.
"paid?"
This time the Ministry of Industry couldn't figure it out at all, but anyway, they checked it out.
Then let these guys place the ice cubes in the document library, various rooms, including some corridors.
All of a sudden, a feeling of heart-cooling appeared. Although the weather was hot, with the placement of these ice cubes, it instantly cooled down a lot.
The ice cubes are covered with a layer of cloth, which slows down the melting speed of the ice cubes.
But Xu Yun was a little anxious.
"What are you doing here? Cutting ice and soaking water."
It would be too wasteful to put ice cubes here to melt, so cutting ice and soaking in water would maximize the benefits.
But the latter smiled wryly.
"This is what Lord Shangshu meant. He said that he wanted to cool down the entire Ministry of Industry. There is still a batch of ice behind. Sir, if you don't understand, just ask Lord Shangshu. Caomin don't know anything."
He opened his mouth, and after saying this, he immediately took the receipt and left the place.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry were left in a daze.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on, Wang Shangshu?"
"When did the Ministry of Industry become so rich? Putting ice out to cool off the heat? That's why the former Ministry of Households dared to do this."
"My good fellow, the weather is hot and hot, but it's impossible to waste money like this."
Everyone, you and I, really don't understand.
However, a quarter of an hour later.
Another burst of hooves sounded.
"Master Shangshu is back."
As a voice sounded, many officials came to the entrance of the industry department one after another.
But when they appeared at the entrance of the Ministry of Industry, they were shocked to find that carriages appeared outside the Ministry of Industry. The carriages were covered with silk and satin, as well as various pastry gift boxes.
At this time, Wang Qixin came down, playing with a piece of jade pendant, his face was full of happiness.
"Master Wang, what's going on?"
The next moment, Xu Yun walked forward directly, which really didn't understand the operation.
However, Wang Qixin did not answer Xu Yun's words, but looked at the officials of the Ministry of Industry and said.
"In this carriage, there are all silks, pastries, and gifts prepared for you by the old man, one for each person, don't grab it."
"Two bolts of silk per person, take them back, let the tailor make some clothes tomorrow, prepare some new clothes for my family, and report the wages for making clothes to Xu Yun tomorrow."
"Remember, from now on, people from the Ministry of Industry will cheer up the old man when we go out, and be tougher in speaking and talking. Don't wear the same clothes for three to five years."
"I'll let the old man see in the future, all of you are poor, don't blame the old man for being rude."
"Also, later, one person will go to the warehouse to collect 200 taels of silver, which is the money for everyone's hard work this year."
"I've reserved Tianxiangyuan for seven days. During these seven days, you all eat for me. You can eat as much as you can. You can bring your family if you want."
"Also, after three days, I will go to Baozhai Pavilion to pick up the shoes, and I have prepared three pairs of new shoes for each of you, so I can dress up nicely."
Wang Qixin's voice sounded like a bell.
however.
The entire Ministry of Industry officials were dumbfounded.
One person receives 200 taels of silver?
Baotian Xiangyuan for seven days?
Two horses of satin per person?
And Baozhaige's new shoes?
How much money does this fucking cost?
Looking at the silk and satin again, someone with sharp eyes couldn't help exclaiming instantly.
"This is the silk and satin of Manyunbuzhuang. This one is at least 20 taels of silver, right?"
As the voice sounded, everyone was even more astonished.
motherfucker.
How much money is this greedy?
"Master Wang."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Is there so much silver in our treasury?"
"You won't take away the money for building the dragon boat?"
Xu Yun swallowed, his voice trembling, the Ministry of Industry doesn't have so much money, how about 200 taels per person?
There are more than 400 officials in the entire Ministry of Industry, 200 taels per person, which is 8 taels of silver, plus these messy things, at least 3 taels, right?
"Isn't the money for building the dragon boats in the hands of the Hubu?"
"Can the old man take it if he wants?"
"Talking nonsense."
Wang Qixin was a little angry, and then took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, a thick stack, and the bank notes were all in denominations of one thousand taels.
At least five or six million taels.
"Take it."
"The old man has paid for these things."
"You can spend this money on the head of our Ministry of Works for food, drink and housing. The weather is so hot, so it's impossible to buy more ice. Buy a few ice shops and send ice to us."
"Tell me when the money is gone."
"It's really too much to spend, so I will share the money with everyone."
"It's not enough to look back and come to me again."
"Oh, by the way, who said last time that the household department has heavy fog tea, right? Buy a thousand catties and bring it home with one catty per person. Don't let the household department next door look down on you."
Wang Qixin opened his mouth, a group of people who are so proud, directly want to buy a thousand catties of thick mist tea, a catty of 200 taels of silver, a thousand catties is 20 taels.
"Master Shangshu, please stop teasing me."
Xu Yun was about to cry.
"If you don't believe me, go to the household department and ask."
"Save the bank notes. I will go out with me later. I like two pairs of Ruyi, and they will be placed in the lobby of our Ministry of Industry."
"Okay, what are you still doing?"
"You don't want this stuff anymore?"
"Don't send me to the Ministry of War."
Wang Qixin shouted.
At this moment, everyone came back to their senses. Although they don't know what happened, they don't take advantage of the bastard.
All of a sudden, officials from the Ministry of Industry rushed to grab them one by one.
The mouths of each laughing are cracked.
But compared to the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Rites seemed unusually quiet.
Inside the Ministry of Rites.
All officials gathered in the lobby.
Yang Kai was very straightforward, telling everyone the cause and effect of the matter.
After speaking.
Yang Kai stood up and took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms.
"According to Lord Hou's wishes."
"We have to spend this money."
"But we are the Ministry of Rites, so we still have to show some face. Just now someone sent a message that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is like an upstart, and bought a lot of things."
"The old man thinks it's not right."
"We still need to be more sensible in consumption, so later, the old man will take the lead and buy back some things that I wanted to buy but couldn't afford. What do you think?"
Yang Kai made a sound, speaking politely.
Hearing this, everyone was numb.
Some still haven't recovered.
The Ministry of Rites is endless.
But definitely not rich.
Mainly in Kyoto, with the little money given by the imperial court, honestly, what can I buy?
Moreover, Daxia has always been very harsh on officials. Corruption under the emperor's feet is a huge death penalty, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites often say that literati are proud and have a breeze in their sleeves.
In fact, the main thing is that there is no money.
If you have money, you must buy something you like. For example, Yunsi Hongni, this thing is very valuable, 500 taels of silver, if they want it, someone will give it to them.
But they dare not ask for it.
Now that the Ministry of Rites has money, and it is still 2000 million taels, how could this group of people not be shocked
"Master Yang."
"You mean, our Ministry of Rites has 2000 million taels of silver in our warehouse now? Can you let us control it?"
An official swallowed, looked at Yang Kai, and said so.
"kindness."
Yang Kai nodded.
The next moment, everyone gasped again.
For quite a while.
Only then did everyone gradually come to their senses one by one.
After everyone calms down.
Yang Kai said.
"In this way, Wang Shangshu is already shopping, so let's not delay."
"It's getting late."
"Calm down today, let's think about a place first, let's buy something, what's the matter, wait for everyone to calm down, and then talk slowly, how about it?"
Yang Kai continued, he knew that it would be difficult for everyone to explain for a while.
"Don't think about it."
"Master Yang, let's go to Wenbao Zhai."
Zuo Shilang stood up, looked at Yang Kai and said.
When they heard Wenbaozhai, everyone nodded. This Wenbaozhai is the most famous study in Kyoto.
It is full of the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as some antique calligraphy and paintings.
The most expensive and most prestigious study in Daxia Capital.
They would go there occasionally, but only to have a look. A writing brush is worth hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.
Now that I have money, I naturally want to go to this place.
"it is good."
"However, you still need to be more sensible. Don't study from the Ministry of Industry. After all, we are members of the Ministry of Rites."
Yang Kai nodded, he also thought of Wen Baozhai in his heart.
present.
Yang Kai got up, and everyone nodded one after another, promising no or no.
soon.
The mighty officials of the Ministry of Rites walked towards Wenbaozhai.
Two quarters later.
Wenbaozhai is downstairs.
Everyone took a deep breath, Yang Kai turned around and looked at everyone.
"Everyone, calm down."
After he finished speaking, he walked into Wen Baozhai.
There are not many people in Wenbao Zhai, that is, a dozen people. There are five floors in total.
"Master Yang?"
"What brings you here?"
"It's a rare visitor, a rare visitor."
Inside Wenbaozhai, the shopkeeper saw Yang Kai walking in, and immediately got up to greet him, Minister of Rites, this is a very big official, and he couldn't even invite him on weekdays.
But when he saw a group of officials behind Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he was stunned.
"Master Yang, what is this?"
The shopkeeper's curiosity.
"The treasurer."
"Does the shop sell it?"
Yang Kai made a sound and asked quietly.
Shopkeeper: "???"
"My lord, what do you mean?"
The shopkeeper was a little confused, not understanding what this meant.
"What are you still doing?"
"Grab it."
The next moment, Yang Kai couldn't bear it anymore, he let out a howl, and the officials behind him turned into hungry wolves and started to snatch it.
"This is a Shanhai brush, one thousand two hundred taels, hurry, hurry, grab it."
"Tianhe ink seal, Tianhe ink seal, characters written with this ink will not be melted for a thousand years, and will not be melted for a thousand years."
"Yunsini, Yunsini, hurry up and grab it."
"The top rice paper in Luoyang, hurry up, hurry up."
Hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Rituals, at this moment, there is nothing irrational or irrational. They take things when they see them. For them, these things are very valuable, and they can't afford them on weekdays.
Now that you have money and you can take it casually, you have to act quickly. If you are too late, you will lose everything.
"My lord, my lord, what's going on?"
"Did the little shop make adults angry?"
"My lord, if you are like this, I will report to the authorities."
The shopkeeper of Wenbaozhai was about to cry, all these items were worth a lot, and any one item was worth thousands of taels of silver.
If you really want to give it away, a little bit for each person is not a big problem.
On the contrary, he is happy.
But grab it directly, and grab it indiscriminately, who can resist it?
"Officer?"
"What officer are you reporting to?"
"The old man bought these things."
Yang Kai took out a stack of bank notes and threw them directly in the hands of the shopkeeper, full of pride.
"what?"
The latter lowered his head, looked at the thick stack of banknotes, and verified carefully that they were real banknotes.
And such a thick stack, at least 50 taels.
into his mother.
When did the Ministry of Rites become so rich?In the past, the Ministry of Rites came over to look at it for a day, and only came to criticize, and it was normal if they couldn't afford it.
Where does the money come from now?
"Is it enough?"
Yang Kai made a sound, and at this moment he was full of momentum.
"Enough, enough."
"Master Yang, this store also has the treasure of the store, the seal of Hetian Guyu, would you like to see it?"
Feeling such strong financial resources, the shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy, and even introduced the treasure of the store.
As soon as I heard the treasure of the town shop.
In an instant, hundreds of pairs of eyes fixed on the latter.
For a moment, the shopkeeper couldn't help but swallowed, trembling a little.
in this way.
After half an hour.
The entire Wenbaozhai was basically emptied, except for some really worthless things, there was nothing left.
With these things, the Ministry of Rites can be said to be full of rewards.
However, for Yang Kai, he was very disappointed, it only cost 58 taels of silver.
How should I spend the remaining 940 and [-] taels of silver?
Back to the Ministry of Rites.
Yang Kai asked everyone to put down these spoils, but told everyone the current situation.
Anyway, Gu Jinnian's meaning is very simple, spend as much money as you can, and you must spend it for others to see. In the process of enjoying yourself, you must let others see it.
If it wasn't for this, wouldn't it be easy to spend all the money?An average score is not enough.
He even took out part of the silver taels for everyone to share.
But most of the silver taels are left, which is still a lot.
So now we have to brainstorm.
"Master Yang, I have an idea, haven't we always wanted to build a temple?"
"Why don't our Ministry of Rites contribute money to build a temple of sages? Hire the best craftsmen to carve the ancient sages, and build a library. Firstly, it will be admired by future generations, and secondly, it can be regarded as an achievement of our Ministry of Rites. what."
Someone spoke up and made such an opinion.
"This is good, this is good."
"Then contact me immediately to see how much money you want. Remember, invite the best craftsman."
Yang Kai nodded.
He voted for this project.
"Master Yang, since we have built a temple of sages, how about publishing a book? Print a hundred million copies of the book we wrote, and give it to some poor places, so that some poor academies can have books to read. how?"
It was suggested that this idea is also very good.
"That's right."
Yang Kai nodded, but after a careful calculation, it was only a few million taels at most, and it still couldn't be spent.
For a while, everyone was in trouble.
In fact, how much money can I spend on normal food, drink and housing, including buying some good things?
You see, it costs only 58 taels of silver to evacuate a Wenbaozhai.
To build a temple for the sages, count him a little more expensive, 200 million taels of silver is enough.
Even if a book is published, twenty books and two million copies printed, how much money is it?It doesn't take much to print 200 million copies.
Yang Kai couldn't think of a place to spend money, to be precise, it is impossible for them scholars to gamble and spend it in some places they don't like.
It's like buying clothes or something, they don't like it very much.
In the end, Yang Kai thought about it and asked everyone to spend while they were brainstorming. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the Ministry of Rites, about [-] people. Everyone eats, drinks, lives and plays during this time, and the Ministry of Rites will pay for it all.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't cost much.
Too much money is really worrying.
There was no way, the money came so suddenly, and I gave so much in one go, I couldn't think of how to spend it all at once.
In comparison, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites are somewhat sensible.
At this moment, in the West City.
Qin Wangfei and Crown Princess appeared together in the West Market. The West Market itself is a place where rich people come, and the things they buy and sell are all high-end items.
On weekdays, some high-ranking officials and dignitaries appear.
But today, Qin Wangfei is on the right, and Crown Princess is on the left. The faces of the two are extremely calm, but the means of spending money stunned everyone.
Inside a silk shop.
The princess walked in, ordered a few bolts of silk without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, and then said slowly.
"Except for these few items, all are included."
"Yun Cui, take these silks and satins back to buy clothes for the servants in the mansion."
The crown princess spoke, and after saying this, she fluttered to the next shop.
Let the shopkeeper of silk and satin village be stupid.
His silks and satins cost 500 taels of silver a piece, and some of them are worth more than 1000 taels of silver. If you buy them all, 10 taels cannot escape.
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
But Princess Qin is more direct.
When she came to the largest jade shop in West City, before the shopkeeper could speak, the maid beside her had already spoken.
"Take out the most expensive jade in your shop, and don't take out the ones that are less than 5 taels of silver, so as not to dirty the eyes of the princess."
Concubine Qin's daily expenses are not small, but it is almost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Now, she is not cowardly at all, and the money is upright, so she is not afraid and speaks out directly.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly asked his servants to carefully bring some extremely precious jade articles.
It has to be said that each of these jade wares is more delicate than the last.
"This pair of jade gourds is pretty good. They are small and exquisite. I bought them and sent them to the princess."
Qin Wangfei glanced at the jade wares, a pair of jade gourds, exquisite and beautiful in appearance, and extremely beautiful in price.
12 taels of silver for a pair.
However, Princess Qin didn't even look at it, she just bought it and sent it to the Crown Princess.
This made the shopkeeper have to swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Damn it, the royal family is rich. I don’t know how many people have seen this pair of jade gourds, but how many people actually bought them so casually?
About half an hour later.
A voice sounded.
"younger sister."
As the voice sounded, it was the voice of the princess.
"It's my sister."
"Sister, do you still like this jade gourd?"
Seeing that the Crown Princess was coming, Princess Qin got up and said with a smile. Everyone is doing business together now, and the relationship has naturally become better.
"I like it very much."
"However, there is no sister who gives something to my sister."
"Come on, shopkeeper, what is the most expensive jade in your shop?"
"take it out."
The Crown Princess said, she wasn't trying to save face, but because she had too much money, and if someone sent something over, she had to send it back. Isn't that how reciprocity is like this?
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately took out a piece of jewelry, which was made of various gemstones and looked extremely beautiful.
The price is also extremely expensive.
35 taels of silver.
"Shopkeeper, send it to Prince Qin's residence."
"Yun Cui, pay."
The princess spoke lightly, and Yun Cui immediately took out a thick stack of banknotes and placed them directly on the table.
Everyone in the shop was dumbfounded.
Even the shopkeeper was completely stunned.
35 taels of silver, just give it if you say it?
You don't even pay back the price?
I'm a little scared.
in this way.
until night.
The entire capital of Daxia was extremely lively, especially the most high-end restaurants, which were almost all booked up.
And what happened today is spreading everywhere.
There are all kinds of guesses, but no one knows exactly what happened.
However, just after a hard day, the officials of the household department found a familiar restaurant, planned to drink wine, chat with each other, and then went home to rest.
They were shocked to find out.
All the well-known restaurants in Kyoto have been booked.
It's the job of the Ministry of Industry.
It was full of artisans.
All of a sudden, the household officials became paralyzed.
When did the Ministry of Industry become so rich?
At the moment, not long after, someone spread the news to the Minister of the Household Department.
In He Mansion.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, He Yan couldn't help frowning.
"Is it really the work of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Work?"
He Yan frowned, he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Master, it's absolutely true. The subordinates have confirmed it three times, and the situation is true."
The latter spoke and told He Yandao.
"Is this unreasonable?"
"Didn't the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites keep calling you poor?"
"Oh."
"It should be the Daxia Everbright City who divided the accounts."
"The sales of Longmi in Jiangzhong are indeed not bad. They have made some money."
He Yan was a little puzzled at first, but soon thought of the only possibility.
"Master Shangshu, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites behaved like this as soon as they had some money, and just now I heard that our people met officials from the Ministry of Industry, and those officials from the Ministry of Industry clamored one by one, asking how the people in our household department Do not go to the restaurant."
"It's really a bit arrogant."
The latter spoke, looking a little unconvinced.
Hearing this, He Yan's voice could not help but ring out coldly.
"That's fine."
"Tomorrow, when I go to the court, I will play to His Majesty, cut some of their funds, and see if they dare to be so arrogant."
"The Ministry of Industry allocated 150 million taels a few days ago, and the Ministry of Rites required 90 taels."
"The Great Xia Nightless City is estimated to be distributed to them, and it is only four to five million taels of silver. Such a squandering will be spent in less than a month."
"It's not easy to handle them."
He Yan spoke.
In fact, he is mainly a little uncomfortable, tastes a little sour.
Revenge or not revenge is secondary.
The main thing is that it looks uncomfortable.
Spend money indiscriminately.
Really are.
in this way.
The next day.
It was just dawn.
A new day of worship is about to begin.
Two in one
So the update is late.
Ask for a monthly pass! ! ! ! ! !
