The Little Cook's Wealthy Counterattack

"What happened to you? How could he owe nearly three million taels of silver?"

The number was so large that Li Guangxiao was shocked. He couldn't help staring at Jiang qianxia and told him not to talk nonsense.

"Hehe, Chang ruigui's daughter is really rich. Your majesty, I've never seen so much money before. Are merchants so rich? Isn't it much richer than many adults who work hard for your majesty?"

After regrouping, Xu Jieyu walked over slowly and naturally took Li Guangxiao's arm, and the little bird leaned up.

A peach blossom eye with golden feather makeup painted at the end of both eyes. If there is a seemingly empty glance, the corner of his mouth evokes a beautiful, but inexplicably ironic angle. Jiang qianxia can't help frowning.

"The empress hasn't seen so much money, which means that without knowledge, the empress wouldn't say such petty words."

Jiang qianxia's tone is quite impatient. She has a serious official position and is a general's wife. Can she be mocked by a mere Jieyu?

Besides, she didn't offend Xu Jieyu? There's something wrong with it, isn't it?

Looking at Xu Jieyu with a headache, Li Guangxiao frowned and patted her hand. He looked at Jiang qianxia again.

"Chang Rui, three million Liang is not a small number. What's going on?"

"It's not about disaster relief in the two lakes..."

Without saying that the local officials of the two lakes didn't know how Hu Zao spent all the money they should have. Jiang qianxia vaguely said that when the two lakes needed money, because the environment was chaotic and the conditions were poor, it would be difficult to allocate such a large amount of money for a while and a half, so she asked the officials to write an IOU and owe it first.

It turned out that it was the disaster relief of Lianghu lake. What else should he take it as.

His serious expression eased down. Li Guangxiao nodded her forehead angrily and hummed: "come on, where is the money Shen An owes you? You just say that I'll give you the money? It's also roundabout. Can I be greedy for this money?"

Blinking innocently, Jiang qianxia said skillfully: "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid that you won't give the money to me, but do you have a bad memory? All States have sent IOUs. This year's autumn Fu will be collected in the beginning of next spring... That is to say, now, the Treasury has no money..."

"Nonsense! How can the big and dry Treasury be short of money? Your majesty ~ Chang ruigui despises the emperor. You can't let her down too much ~"

Before Li Guangxiao spoke, Xu Jieyu began to be stupid.

Jiang qianxia silently looked up at the sky, and Li Guangxiao's face was expressionless, but in their hearts, they read and talked together - fool.

It's not for future generations that women are knowledgeable. They don't just say stupid things that make people laugh.

In Dachan, even if the people are fierce, most women like to talk about trivial things between their sister-in-law. There are few smart women like empress Chang sun who are used to seeing storms and waves along the way with Li Guangxiao.

As for Jiang qianxia... How many people treat her as a woman?

Xu Jieyu thought she was right. Unexpectedly, she didn't get a response. After a long time of silence, she knew she had said the wrong thing and blessed her body to ask her majesty for atonement.

"... OK, Chang ruigui's daughter is a woman. Just don't let you back off. You can't comment on the affairs of the previous dynasty. Just listen in and stop talking."

If Xu Jieyu hadn't really liked Li Guangxiao, I'm afraid she would have been sent back to the palace and think about it behind closed doors.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Guangxiao frowned awkwardly and said, "it's really my negligence. Now the Treasury is empty, but three million Liang can't be taken out at one time. Even if the queen opens the private treasury of the inner palace, I'm afraid she can't get together so much cash."

The meaning of not collecting so much cash means that there is not much silver to spend, and gold can not flow into the market at one time. It is the foundation of the country, and it is impossible to use the same amount of gold to offset the price.

But apart from gold and silver, the treasure in the Imperial Palace Treasury is the most precious collection place in the world

After turning his eyes twice, Jiang qianxia said tentatively: "Wanbao Pavilion is still reluctant, but if there is no working capital to buy winter goods, Weichen is afraid that many merchants who actively respond to the imperial court's call will not survive. If it is spread, it may affect the credibility of the imperial court..."

This is not a threat. Li Guangxiao is also worried. People are good enough to take all their family assets out to the imperial court for disaster relief. Even if they don't reward them, they will lose their money. It doesn't make sense where?

"Now silver, we can only take out less than two million Liang for the festival after winter and the new year's Eve. Chang Rui, look at this..."

Two million Liang, much higher than her worst prediction.

Relieved, Jiang qianxia smiled easily, arched his hands and said with a smile: "two million Liang is enough for everyone to survive, but the autumn Fu will be recovered in the spring next year, and the Treasury can't be emptied again. It has to be reserved for the summer morning."

Next year will be the great meeting of all nations. At that time, the moon people who haven't seen for a long time will also come. He seems to say, what will he bring her?

The purpose of holding such a grand meeting is to show the majesty of the Heavenly Kingdom. The pomp must be spread out, and the money must be spent out like water.

Thinking of this, Jiang qianxia said cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't pay back the remaining 1 million liang of silver for the next year's imperial meeting, otherwise there will be no money at that time. Not only will the etiquette department have to find a place to hang, but I'm afraid the officials will also be in a mess. It's strange if Lord Shen An doesn't stab me in the back."

"I know nonsense. It's a great crime to slander colleagues."

Nodding her head funny, Li Guangxiao still frowned. "You should know better than me what that one million Liang means to merchants. After all, they are meritorious to me. Even if you are considerate, I can't bear to let them be hit hard at once."

"Hey, the emperor's mirror ~ Although Weichen said that the 1 million Liang would not be returned by the official department, he did not say that he would not ask the emperor for compensation from other places ~"

"You ghost spirit, what do you want me to compensate the merchants from?" Li Guangxiao immediately put on a look of being willing to hear the details.

"Don't bother. It's just a small matter for the emperor to give a reward ~"

Looking at Jiang qianxia with a smile, Li Guangxiao brushed his sleeve and said, "come on, you'd better tell me what you want me to do. Don't laugh. I'm fluffy."

Shanshan put away his flattering smile. Jiang qianxia rubbed his hands and winked at Li Guangxiao.

"It's very simple. Now there's still chaos over Gu Li. It's difficult for many valuable goods to enter the customs. I wanted to ask your majesty for a written instruction so that the merchants who have suffered losses can have the right to leave the customs and take the border city where our border troops are stationed all the way west to transport more good things."

"As for the tariff... Your majesty, look..."

Thinking for a moment, Li Guangxiao said, "I can't live or die when I get out of the pass. Since they are willing to fight with their lives, I can't be stingy."

"Within three years, only one third of the customs duties to be paid to others, and I allow them to enter the garrison barracks to seek asylum in case of danger!"

Two thirds of the tax is reduced at once. It's convenient to get in and out, and you can find the Garrison for protection. This is a great advantage!

In the past two years, there has been internal unrest in Guli, and wars have been fought everywhere, whether on the grassland or in the Gobi. If one is not careful, one person will lose both money and money.

But if things can be shipped back, supply is less than demand, and make a lot of money, it is a certainty!

"Oh, thank you, Lord longen!"

After kneeling down happily to thank him, Jiang qianxia simply couldn't get up on his knees. He looked up and smiled shyly. Li Guangxiao felt that he would be calculated again.

"... all right, all right, tell me what else you want!"

"Hei hei, your majesty Shengming, nothing can be concealed from you."

Scratching his face, Jiang qianxia stirred his fingers and said with an embarrassed face, "Your Majesty, Weichen feels it. Gu Li is profitable, but it is small and dangerous."

"The south is different. It is safe and secure, and there are many good things. Whether it's ivory, precious wood, medicine, or even pearl, jade, gold and silver, that's what we don't want, isn't it?"

"Weichen just opened the road in Dianzhou in general. It's only used to transport some mountain fruits. It's too wasteful..."

"What do you mean?" Since Guli took people back to fetch food ship by ship, Li Guangxiao couldn't help thinking more about the rich south.

"What's the meaning of Wei Chen? I'm asking your majesty to loosen the border inside to facilitate the entry and exit of our businessmen. It's best to take care of us poor people and charge less customs duties and tolls ~"
