Chapter 121
"Your Highness, are you saying that Zhou Sining's handwriting of the Tea Tasting and Treasure Appreciation Conference led by the Chamber of Commerce and co-organized by all the tea merchants? How is this possible? This is obviously..."
"Obviously what?" The Seventh Prince glanced at Zhang Heng who was full of disbelief, and said, "The Mingyuan tea shop, which has the most say in this chamber of commerce, do you know whose business it is? It belongs to the Su family in Liuzhou. "
Liuzhou Su family?What does that have to do with Zhou Xining?
Hey, Zhang Heng slapped his forehead with a slap. He remembered the Chang family. At that time, it seemed that the Su family in Liuzhou was facing him, and Zhou Xining stood up for the Su family in order to step on the Chang family.
Could it be that time that they made contact?At that time, Zhou Xining thought that he could use the Su family in the future?Then she is too powerful.Well, I have to avoid her in the future.
Although the Seventh Prince Chu Yuchen didn't know what Zhang Heng had thought up, but seeing him shaking his head for a while, and nodding for a while, he knew that he must have misunderstood the matter.
Then he said helplessly, "Zhou Shining's mother's surname is Su."
ah?Zhou Xining's mother's surname is Su?Could it be that the Su family in Liuzhou is the in-law of the Zhou family?Zhou's family's house wife married a merchant girl?This is inevitable...
Didn't it mean that she was married to the prostitute daughter of an old-fashioned family in the old capital?
When Chu Yuchen arrived with Zhang Heng, the bidding for a set of calligraphy was in full swing, and the entire set of calligraphy only had one word.
life!
"Okay, Master Liu bids 3000 taels. This pair of calligraphy is personally inscribed by the current emperor when he celebrates the 60th birthday of the emperors of the two dynasties.
Just...is it only worth 3000 taels? "
Is it only worth 3000 taels?how come!
Previously, just saying that the birthday character came from the Zhou family, the asking price reached 3000 taels, not to mention that it was inscribed by the imperial pen...
"5000 taels..."
"1 taels, I will pay 1 taels."
……
In the end, the birthday character inscribed by the imperial pen was taken by the master Liu at a high price of 6000 taels. The original words of the master Liu were "Pray for the longevity of my mother and relieve the worries of the Yicheng epidemic." '
"One word sold for 6000 taels? Is he so rich and powerful?" Zhang Heng was stunned.
That Mr. Liu seems to be a businessman from other places, is it okay to show off his wealth like this?
The corner of Chu Yuchen's mouth twitched, is Zhou Xining so cruel?Even the birthday characters written by the father for the old emperor Zhou are sold?Isn't she afraid of her father's crimes against the Zhou family?
Another object was displayed, which was a woman's pearl hairpin.
"Did someone see the extraordinaryness of this pearl hairpin? Well, that's right, it's an old thing that was used by the whole country."
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince frowned and grimaced.
It's really courageous to dare to use the name of his mother's queen.
Hearing that the title of empress was mentioned, Zhang Heng felt a little unhappy, and when he saw the seventh prince's face change, he was about to explode.But at this moment, a young servant came forward and saluted: "Your Highness, our master has already made tea for Your Highness."
Chu Yuchen was not surprised at all, if he didn't even know he was coming, how would he control the audience.What's more, he also wanted to ask what Zhou Xining wanted to do?Even the title of queen of a country dares to be used falsely.
"Your Highness!" Zhou Shining stood up and saluted.
Chu Yuchen glanced at the people in the room, and found that Zhou Xining was the only one, and said, "Is it appropriate for the two of us to share the same room?"
Zhou Xining lowered his eyes and smiled, "Oh, so in the eyes of His Highness, Mr. Zhang is not a human being."
"You..." Chu Yuchen sat down with a flick of his sleeves, he didn't need to worry about her reputation.
Zhou Xining knew that the Seventh Prince said that because of her reputation, so he pushed the tea over with his own hands, and said, "Your Highness kindly wishes, and my daughter appreciates it. Your Highness, please come here, we have something to discuss."
After glancing at Zhang Heng who had been standing still since he came in, Zhou Xining continued: "Your Highness, the merchant's wealth is well documented, and most of the money has been spent on business, and he has to turn around daily. There are a lot of people who have paid tens of thousands of silver. According to the rough calculation of the courtiers, at most hundreds of thousands of silver can be raised here. Without a base of one million silver, the danger of Yicheng cannot be solved at all.
The servant girl thought, since His Highness has already served the dishes, she can't give them food for nothing, can't she..."
"Huh? Do you have a way? Let's hear it..." Chu Yuchen was very interested, and wanted to hear what kind of way he could get the money out of the pockets of those old foxes.
Zhou Xining twirled the teacup with his fingers, and said with wrinkled eyebrows, "It's actually very simple. Your Highness only needs to do two things."
"First, let people reveal the situation here, even the merchants who are only profitable in their eyes know how to donate money to Yicheng, as nobles in the court, parents and officials of the common people, what should they do?
Second, um, let the prince and princess set an example, and then the relatives will generously donate..."
The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth trembled. Is she thinking about Zhang's money?The second prince's tossing around in the old capital has already made the Zhang family lose a lot of skin, and the Zhang family can't afford much money now.
After all, the Seventh Prince is not an ordinary person, he only thought about Zhou Xining's words in his mind for a while, and he figured out the key point. It was indeed a good idea.Since they are unwilling to take the initiative to pay, they can only be forced to pay, and it is not up to them to decide how much to pay.
Chu Yuchen raised his eyes and said, "Master Liu outside is probably arranged by you, right?"
Zhou Xining took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile, "Your Highness guess?"
Let me guess, okay?Chu Yuchen stared at Zhou Xining and said, "Aren't you afraid of being accused of offending the emperor's prestige by using my mother's name like this?"
Zhou Xining lowered his eyes and said: "Your Highness has promoted the courtiers, and the courtiers don't dare to use the name of the current queen because of the courage of the courtiers. Although it is said to be an old thing from a country, it is not said to be the current queen. How can you offend Huangwei?"
Zhang Heng said: "Is that fake?"
There is no need for Zhou Xining to answer this question, because someone outside has also raised doubts and is verifying it on the spot.
"It's true. If you have any doubts about the word "御建" on the back of the pearl hairpin, you can check it out."
Chu Yuchen suddenly remembered that besides his mother's queen, his father also had a beautiful and unlucky Yuan queen.
"Understood." After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, he had to go back to squeeze the money.After the words fell, the Seventh Prince left without looking back.
Zhou Xining's words are simple, and the method is also a good way to hit the nail on the head, but if he really wants to make things happen, it will be troublesome to arrange.How could the Seventh Prince have the leisure to continue sitting and drinking tea to watch the excitement, and if the royal children were involved, he had to arrange it himself to make it work.
Well, his good second brother is back, I heard that he collected a lot of money during his trip to the old capital, and he has always been a good prince who cares about the country and the people, how much should he pay?The father raised more than 3 silver for a single longevity name, so his majestic prince can't be too little, right?
There should always be one hundred thousand silver.
In the end, at the banquet held by the Seventh Prince, 32 taels of silver were squeezed out from the hands of all the courtiers.Seeing that more than 30 silver is a lot, but it is still not enough for that big family in Yicheng to squander.
