After finishing speaking, he explained in detail and said solemnly: "In the third year of Wude, the princess led the troops to capture Lantian, Guanlong. Afterwards, you led the troops to continue fighting elsewhere, and Lantian County was handed over to Tiance Mansion. At that time,

Everyone knows that the person responsible for taking over is me, Cheng Zhijie. And from that time on, the Cheng family has been in charge of Lantian until today."

"Our old Cheng doesn't shy away from this matter. The Cheng family has been reaping benefits in Lantian County. They have reaped benefits in the past and will continue to reap benefits in the future. Although the Cheng family will not deliberately engage in corruption, it is a good profit to get involved in the business. So, we

The Cheng family is willing to pay for the future management rights."

Zhao Ning smiled slightly, nodded slowly and said, "Yes!"

Lao Cheng looked solemn and raised his hands again: "The total official property of Lantian County is eighteen thousand acres. According to the original reward from the Supreme Emperor, half of it should belong to the princess, which means that there are nine thousand acres. But I don't know that the princess plans to take it.

Whatever the price, our Cheng family will sell it for you even if it means selling it."

Zhaoning seemed to have planned it for a long time, and said without hesitation: "Lantian belongs to Guanzhong, and the land is relatively fertile. According to today's world price, one acre of land is about three thousand dollars. However, after all, these lands are nominally government property. Every year

Eighty percent of the income needs to be turned over to the government treasury..."

Lao Cheng nodded and said: "The remaining 20% ​​is oil and water."

Zhao Ning smiled slightly again and said: "One acre of land is worth three guan, of which 20% belongs to the owner's oil and water. Three guan is three thousand guan, and 20% of it is 600 ren. I will give you a discount, every day.

It’s no problem if you count the acre of land as five hundred cents for your Cheng family.”

Lao Cheng looked solemn and said gratefully: "This is a great favor."

He paused slowly as he spoke, seeming to be calculating figures in his mind. After a moment, he spoke again, with a solemn expression: "Nine thousand acres of land, six hundred cents per acre, the total price should be 5,400 cents."

…”

Zhao Ning suddenly interrupted and said with a faint smile: "Your son is the first disciple of my Youyun Gu family, so as a master wife, I will give you a little discount, and I won't take the fraction. The Cheng family owes me 5,000 yuan."

Bar."

Lao Cheng clasped his hands tightly and bowed deeply to Zhao Ning.

However, at this moment, Zhao Ning was heard to speak again, leisurely saying: "But, this princess doesn't want money."

After these words were spoken, not only Lao Cheng was stunned, but all the ministers present were also obviously stunned.

Fortunately, Zhao Ning was not being cryptic, and immediately stated her intention, saying slowly: "Five thousand guan, according to the market price, can probably buy 12,000 jin of red copper. This princess does not want money from your Cheng family.

I only want you to pay twelve thousand catties of red copper."

He paused for a moment, looked at the other people in the hall, and said again: "The same goes for you people. No matter who wants to settle private property matters with me, the method of payment must be red copper. If there is no red copper

Copper, then use silver instead. Gold is better, and I will give you a discount..."

Alas?

Everyone in the hall was surprised and made a sound.

Soon someone had a flash of inspiration and blurted out loudly: "I understand, red copper is used to make coins. No wonder the princess wants to sell her private property. It turns out that the real intention is for copper."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Tianya and said again: "Lord Gu is going to mint new coins. If you want to mint coins, you will definitely need copper. You and your wife are singing together today. The ultimate goal is to collect the world's copper, right?"
