The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 167
Because the case of Chu Qianyu's murder was unresolved, Shangguan Qing stayed at home and made troubles, planning to go to the Luantai Division to find something to do.

Luantaisi was so nervous that he was going to die.In the past, when the eldest princess Chu Huaiyu was in power, she often made things difficult for Shangguan Qing. Most of the female officials in the Luantai Division were accomplices, and some of them were eliminated by the emperor. The number of people who died was no less than that of the Imperial City Division, but it was the female officials who died, and no one paid attention.

Shangguan Qing sat in the palace of Luantaisi, the surroundings were silent, no one dared to breathe loudly, just when she was feeling bored, a female official informed the fourth prince Chu Qiankang to visit.

Shangguan Qing was not familiar with Chu Qiankang, and he had the impression that he was a very gentle person. When Chu Qianhan walked into the public hall, he was indeed calm and calm. Compared with Chu Qianhan, he was a little less sharp, which made people feel less cold.

Chu Qiankang was invited to take a seat in the guest room, and Zhu Qing and Nian Ci brought refreshments, the tea was carefully ground matcha, the desserts were rice cakes sprinkled with some sugar foam, and hawthorn rolls.

After Chu Qiankang was seated, he asked about Shangguan Qing's physical condition, and then cared about Chu Qianhan who had gone to Lingnan, and expressed anger and regret for what happened to Chu Qianyu.

Shangguan Qing nodded cooperatively.

After chatting about some gossip, Chu Qiankang talked about the transaction between the Craftsmanship Division and the Northwest Coal Yard, expressing his interest in the business of the Northwest Coal Yard. He had already found a coal yard and planned to acquire a part of the shares, but there were some funds. Question, I want to borrow some money from Luan Taisi.

According to the past practice, when princes and princesses need money urgently, they can temporarily borrow part of it from the accounts of Luantai Division and Huangcheng Division. Each amount will not exceed [-] gold. The emperor approved the note to pay off the arrears. According to Shangguan Qing's memory, Chu Qiankang was the only prince who paid back all the arrears. Even Chu Qianhan owed money to the Imperial City Secretary.

"After much deliberation, I have no choice but to ask Shangguan for help." Chu Qiankang called himself "I", and his attitude was extremely low.

Shangguan Qing didn't feel flattered, because it was about 120 million gold, even if Chu Qiankang knelt down for her, she wouldn't feel it.

"Fourth Highness." Shangguan Qing didn't mess up the address, and put a distance between the two with a polite attitude.

"Big mention." Chu Qiankang cupped his hands. He didn't expect Shangguan Qing to pay with a single word. He also knew that 120 million gold was not a small sum.

Chu Qianren refused to make any concessions, and people would die if they fought for dozens of gold, not to mention the huge money involving millions of gold, the emperor would not be calm when he saw it.

Being forced into a hurry, Chu Qianren was unwilling to talk about it. Chu Qiankang was asking for money, and he didn't want to tear himself apart, so he had to offer a purchase price of 120 million gold, and Chu Qianren agreed.

After negotiating the terms, Chu Qiankang was worried about money again. He could take out 120 million gold, but he couldn't take it out all at once. If he did this, Chu Huaitian would be able to beat him to death without Chu Qianren fighting back.

Just like what Chu Qianren said when he led people to besiege Chu Qianyu, too much money is not good.

Only Chu Qiankang came to Shangguan Qing to borrow money, and even if he couldn't borrow money, he could ask Shangguan Qing to find a way.

Chu Qiankang made a condition: "I can use several properties in the capital and a Zhuangzi in Songshan County as mortgages. I will pay off all the loans within five years and pay [-]% of the annual interest."

Shangguan Qing's eyes lit up, the 20.00% annual interest rate was simply violence.

In modern times, this would drive people crazy.

But Shangguan Qing quickly calmed down. He had heard that the interest on private loans in many places was double the interest rate. Even in the outskirts of the capital, the private loan interest was half interest, which was 50.00% per annum.

The [-]% interest is less than half of the usual loan interest in the capital.

While Shangguan Qing was calculating in his mind, Chu Qiankang continued: "I have also collected some antique calligraphy and paintings, which can also be mortgaged to the Luantai Division."

Shangguan Qing couldn't keep silent, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is just joking, Luantaisi is not a pawn shop, and he can't do such a thing. His Highness wants to borrow 120 million gold at a time, and I really can't get it out, and I only have time in the capital Three years."

"How much can I borrow for a big lift, I will pay it back within three years, and the interest can also be negotiated."

"Your Highness, don't worry, let me think about it first."

Shangguan Qing turned her head and said to He Ye: "Lead someone to bring the general accounts of Luantai Division and Craftsman Division."

"promise."

He Ye quickly brought over the ledger, and Shangguan Qing flipped through it quickly. There was a sum of money confiscated from the crown prince's uterus in Luantai Secretary's account, and a sum of money allocated by Huangcheng Secretary from the internal treasury. There are 200 million gold in circulation, and the total value of various materials is 100 million gold, most of which are in the sub-account of the Craftsmanship Division.

This is more than half of Chu's annual tax revenue. Chu Huaitian gave the money to Shangguan Qing, which showed his trust in her and Chu Huaitian's own determination.

Shangguan Qing calculated in her heart, and Ling Ling's voice suddenly sounded in her head: "Hold on to the running water, we have too many things to do, we can't do without money."

Shangguan Qing nodded without being noticed, closed the account book and said to Chu Qiankang: "Fourth Highness, Luantai Division's running water is not enough, so I can't lend you so much money, but I can make the decision to purchase 80 yuan worth of coal from the coal yard purchased by Your Highness." Wan Jin’s raw coal is paid in salt rolls, and I can decide to give His Highness part of the salt rolls first.”

Chu Qiankang frowned slightly, it was really difficult to borrow money.But what he didn't expect was that he couldn't lend cash, and Shangguan Qing was only willing to lend him salt rolls under conditions.

"Zhuqing, bring some salt rolls."

"promise."

Zhu Qing greeted An Lu to go out together, and pushed a square metal box with a cart, with three locks solemnly attached to it.At the same time, the female officer in charge of Luantai's accounts and the new leader of Fengdaowei also came in.

Shangguan Qing took out a key from the walk and handed it to Zhuqing, and the two female officials who followed in also took out a key respectively, and the three of them opened the box at the same time, revealing the beautifully printed red and green printed matter inside.

These beautiful pieces of paper are the by-products of Shangguan Qing finding someone to print the book. The paper and ink are all secretly made by Shangguan Qing's family, and they are only printed in the craftsman's department.

Zhuqing took eight bundles of salt rolls from the box and handed them to Shangguan Qing and Chu Qiankang respectively.

Shangguan Qing smelled the fragrance of fresh ink, and regretted that the national emblem and Grandpa Mao could not be printed on it. The reason why the salt roll with the largest denomination was pink was because there was a lot of cinnabar in the inventory of the Craftsmanship Division, and the second was the nostalgia for that modern society.

Chu Qiankang took out two green salt rolls with "one stone" printed on them, and was surprised to find that each salt roll was the same, with clear patterns and lines. Home decoration.

The remaining three kinds of salt rolls are two stones, five stones and ten stones, of which ten stones are pink and the rest are green.

Shangguan Qing said: "These salt rolls are made by master craftsmen in the craftsman department, and then printed on them five times, which can ensure that they will not be copied in a short period of time. I based on the average sea salt production in the past 30 years Salt rolls were printed, totaling 2000 million stones."

Chu Qiankang thought: "It's not just that it can't be imitated in a short time, I don't think anyone can imitate it, and only you are willing to work hard to print a bunch of paper."
