Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 344; No need

This was the reason why Huo Junyao had to divide it into two parts in the first place.

There are two copies, but three people want them. How should we fight for them?

But for now, it seems that King Qi is still superior. As for the Crown Prince and King Chu, they must have thought of this.

It's just that the price given is probably not as high as King Qi's, right?

Sure enough, after asking, Hongxiu immediately reported that the prince and the king of Chu also quietly arranged for people to contact Lao Zhang and Lao Li respectively, and the prices they gave were not very different.

The prince gave thirty-two thousand, and the king of Chu gave thirty-six thousand.

I don’t know if I can only take out so much, or if I don’t have the courage to take out more.

However, this still surprised Huo Junyao.

She can understand that King Qi and King Chu are rich. After all, they have been out of the palace and opened a mansion for many years, and their wives also have some background. It is possible to grit their teeth and help raise a sum of money.

It's just that this prince could actually produce so much, which she never expected.

Based on the price given by the prince, if he wanted to get 2%, he would need 64,000 guan.

I think back when she first came here, the imperial treasury had more than 100,000 yuan. How poor was she?
And it is said that the internal funds were even poorer at that time. Although so many years have passed, the Yu Dynasty is getting rich rapidly. Even in the recent period, the internal funds have gradually received almost two to three hundred thousand yuan.

But that's internal money.

As for Emperor Zhaowu's virtue of wanting to take all the money to his own treasury, he would not use the internal funds easily except for some necessary items.

There was no way he could do it, he was probably afraid of poverty, thinking about the situation in the years before the founding of the Yu Dynasty.

Moreover, this internal fund is not only for the emperor, but also related to the welfare of all the royal family members. If the internal funds are rich, then these royal family members will receive more benefits.

They will never let the internal funds be spent indiscriminately. Of course, Queen Shen is also a very frugal person. She is in charge of internal funds and will never spend the internal funds indiscriminately.

Not to mention giving so much extra money to the prince.

In other words, in addition to the prince's monthly responsibilities, Queen Shen, a mother who feels sorry for her son, will only give an extra three to five hundred guan at most. It is absolutely impossible to give tens of thousands of guan to the prince.

In addition, Huo Junyao had investigated before and found that there was not much business in the East Palace. After all, the prince of a country was eyeing people of all ages. If the prince was doing business, if he was targeted by some people, there would be a lot of trouble.

Therefore, it can be said that the prince has almost no other serious sources of income, and the entire East Palace almost only relies on the prince's monthly routine.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems that our Crown Prince has been forced to start doing evil things."

With a sigh, Huo Junyao's mouth showed a hint of success.

She has not forgotten her grudge with the prince.

"Oh, by the way, have the prince and Duke Cao been in contact?"

Hongxiu nodded quickly and replied, "We have been contacted, and the information we received has confirmed that Duke Cao Guo has turned to the prince."

"It's expected. Then do you think the prince was suddenly able to spend so much money? Could it be that Duke Cao was helping behind the scenes?" "That's impossible."

Hongxiu immediately told the story of Cao Guogong's fortune. When he was young, Cao Guogong was just a guard around Emperor Zhaowu.

During the troubled times of the previous dynasty, Emperor Zhaowu's family also took advantage of the chaos to raise troops. The late Crown Prince and Emperor Zhaowu were both talented in civil and military affairs, and the two brothers were always away fighting.

It was at this time that Cao Guogong made military exploits with Emperor Zhaowu in his southern and northern campaigns. Later, when the Yu Dynasty was established, he was just a marquis.

He was always under the command of Emperor Zhaowu. Later, after the other two forces were finally put down, he was still a marquis. He waited until Emperor Zhaowu came to the throne, and then he was promoted based on his close relationship with Emperor Zhaowu and his merits in the last few battles. To Cao Guogong.

Although Shengju has been in high position for many years, his own foundation is very weak. When the Yu Dynasty was founded, he was also very poor. Even their own father, Ji Guogong, only had a small salary. Moreover, although Ji Guogong was born into a poor family, when it comes to his own foundation, Compared with Cao Guogong, it is still a little bit more.

Later, Cao Guogong was always in the capital, under the nose of Emperor Zhaowu. As one of Emperor Zhaowu's closest ministers, Cao Guogong was able to gain this trust not only because he had followed Emperor Zhaowu early in the past.

It's because he didn't do many messy things after he became powerful, so he has always been highly regarded by Emperor Zhaowu.

If it weren't for Zhao Yan'er, Cao Guogong's status in Emperor Zhaowu's heart would not have dropped so much.

Didn’t you see that from then on, whenever Emperor Zhaowu had some major events, Cao Guogong was basically not present?
If this had been before Zhao Yaner made such a fuss, Cao Guogong would definitely be present if almost all matters, big or small, were discussed in the imperial study room.

They even said that sometimes their master Ji Guogong was not present, but Cao Guogong was.

Therefore, because of this respect, Cao Guogong would never amass money indiscriminately. After his status declined, he would not dare even if he wanted to. After all, his status was no longer what it used to be, and he had offended many people when he became powerful. .

Why did he not dare to mess around with so many people staring at him? After all, if he didn't do this well, he might be doomed.

As for the rest of the Cao family, although they have changed their family status in recent years relying on Cao Guogong, their background is still there.

It is no problem to say that they can come up with 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and they can still do it by selling iron.

If you spend all your wealth, you might be able to come up with more than thirty thousand, or fifty or sixty thousand, which is almost unthinkable.

And I haven’t heard of anyone selling their property recently.

That's why Hongxiu answered so firmly. It was absolutely impossible for Cao Guogong to help.

"Then let's investigate carefully. It would be great if we could find something. Then we can teach Mr. Cao Guo a lesson. This guy had murderous intentions towards me."

"Yes, I will send someone to investigate later."

"By the way, miss, should we secretly reveal it to the prince and the king of Chu about Lao Zhang?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. Don't you think that the prince and King Chu are really unaware of King Qi's little moves?"

"Since the three of them all want shares, they will definitely watch each other carefully."

"Besides, for now, it doesn't make any difference to our ultimate goal, so there's no need to make arrangements."

"The fewer moves, the cleaner the foundation. The person sitting above is not as simple as it seems. This time, no matter whether King Qi can successfully sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, King Chu and the prince will fight. "

"Our target is the prince. As for the other two, they are just knives in their hands. Don't worry too much about them."
