Chapter 69: Northeast Big Ballast
It took Zhu Zhi less than half a month to complete the land delivery matter.
One million acres of farmland was finally sold out at an average price of fifty-six taels per mu. Zhu Zhi calculated that he could get a benefit of 1.8 million taels from it. This huge number made Zhu Zhi several times in a row.
When Tian entered the palace, he felt as if he were stepping on cotton.
Just after the Lantern Festival, as the last purchase of silver was put into the treasury, Zhu Zhi ran into the palace excitedly and found Zhu Yunwen with a straight face and his hand asking for money.
Zhu Yunwen had just finished discussing the war in the southwest with Zhu Di at this time. Xu Huizu sent a letter that the 20,000 mountain troops in the southwest had already withdrawn their camps, and the rest were left to fate.
As soon as he saw Zhu Zhi, Zhu Yunwen was happy, "I, the uncle of the Liao Dynasty, are very impatient."
Zhu Zhi chuckled and greeted each other in turn, "Your Majesty, please greet me. I have met my fourth brother."
Zhu Di didn't say anything, walked over and suddenly kicked Zhu Zhi on the butt, "Master Shi, tell me, what the hell are your brothers?"
Zhu Yunwen laughed out loud immediately.
"ah?"
Zhu Zhi's face turned dark. When he saw Zhu Di raising his hand to hit him, he quickly hid aside, rubbed his butt and laughed, "Fourth brother, you know everything."
"nonsense."
Zhu Di glared, "With such a big deal, do you think there will be no Jin Yiwei following it?"
Ever since Zhu Zhi took Tian Qi to Yiyue Pavilion, Fusi in Beizhen, Nanjing City, had done nothing but just stared at Zhu Zhi. Who did Zhu Zhi meet and what words he said?
Jin Yiwei even recorded how much time he spent in Yiyue Pavilion that night with the beautiful woman.
"Uncle King Liao, don't be embarrassed."
Zhu Yunzhen coughed twice, "Since ancient times, people have been obsessed with wealth. Those merchants are interested in wealth. If there are bold people who plan to rob goods, it will not matter if they lose the land deed, but it will not be good if they hurt the uncle of the King of Liao. Jin Yiwei is the leader.
Still secretly protecting Uncle Wang."
Go ahead and lie to me, you just don't trust me.
Zhu Zhi nodded bitterly, "Thank you for your kindness, your majesty. I have received a total of 56 million taels of silver from selling the imperial property. Now that all the deliveries have been completed, the imperial minister has sent someone to count the money."
"Very good."
Zhu Yunwen nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle King Liao, thank you for your hard work."
How much is politeness worth? Hurry up and do something practical.
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen refused to talk about business, Zhu Zhi became anxious and said with a shy smile, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten something? That's all."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers a few times in front of Zhu Yunwen, making a mean hey sound.
"Look at your potential."
Zhu Di came over and kicked Zhu Zhi again, "Can the emperor be greedy for your money?"
Darling, you two are really louder than the other.
What do you think 1.8 million taels is? Why are family conditions so impressive?
Zhu Zhi rolled his eyes at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth brother, this is my younger brother who has been running out day and night for the past half month. If you look at it, his legs are running thin several times."
Are your legs thin?
Zhu Yunwen was too lazy to expose him, so he took out a question book from his sleeve robe and threw it to Zhu Zhi, "Let's take a look."
Zhu Zhi raised his hand to catch it, quickly opened it and started to read.
Chamber of Commerce?
Why does the emperor seem to know everything except being an emperor?
In Zhu Zhi's heart, the emperor should eat well every day and sleep with women. When he is tired, he should get up to eat and watch dances and enjoy life for the rest of his life. Then he should kill whoever he wants and beat anyone he wants. Only then can he be called an emperor. Zhu Yunwen is like this. Behind Zhu Zhi's back
He often slandered, "Just like the old man when he was alive, he has endless leisure time."
"Your Majesty, what kind of fun is this?"
He can understand every word in the question book that Zhu Yunwen gave him, but he can't understand it when they are put together. You said that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, did something really strange. Everything in the world belongs to the emperor, but you still use it. What kind of business are you doing? You said that if you are short of money, you will cut off the head of anyone who has the money. Wouldn't it be the end of the family if they plunder it?
Lack of food? Double the land tax, and the food harvested next year can be piled as high as a mountain. Lack of women, you say those from Mongolia, the Western Regions, Korea, the Japanese islands, and those with blond hair and blue eyes, the Ming army is all If I can grab it for you, you can just do whatever you want and it will be done. You have to be obsessed with it all day long. What a waste of energy.
"What are you doing, why are you so blind that you can't understand?"
Zhu Yunwen asked Zhu Zhi to speak with a Northeastern accent and almost went astray. He spoke with a Northeastern accent. This kind of appeal can be assimilated to any language.
Zhu Zhi scratched his head and said, "Waiting for all this effort, you can't stop complaining to Fourth Brother if you are short of money. He has a bad temper and will kill people."
Zhu Di was so angry that he kicked him away. This time, Zhu Zhixue was smart and dodged.
"When my father was still alive, when Guochao Xinli was short of money, he ransacked Shen Wansan's house."
Zhu Zhi spread his hands, "What kind of guy did you steal money from me? It took more than ten years to build the Great Wall before it was all spent. Your Majesty, you are a herdsman. Even a blade of grass in the world is yours. What kind of business are you doing?" It's all yours."
Zhu Yunwen was very angry at him, "You are showing me carefully, are you preparing it for yourself?"
Um?
Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment. He read down the title book and wrote a sentence at the last position, "All the proceeds will go to the clan's house, and all my relatives in the Zhu family can withdraw them in proportion."
Are these more than 50 million taels for the clan members?
Zhu Zhi swallowed hard. The emperor was too generous. More than 50 million taels. Such a large sum of money was used for business. With the emperor's backing, the business of making money in this world shouldn't be too good. If you do it, the annual income will be at least 18 million, which will go to the clan mansion and be given to the clan members.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
Zhu Zhi is a dog-faced person who changes his mind at any time, "Your Majesty, how much can I take?"
"I'm planning to discuss this with my fourth uncle."
Zhu Yunwen completely lost his temper with Zhu Zhi, "It just so happens that Uncle Min Wang and the others are all in the capital now. Let's do this. The fourth uncle's family will be back in three or four days. When everyone is together, I will set up a house in the palace." Banquet, let’s discuss it then.”
If Zhu Zhi had any other opinions, he responded in succession, but still did not forget his original intention before coming, "Your Majesty, the one and eight hundred thousand taels"
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di looked at each other, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly. This Zhu Zhi was indeed suitable for business. His greed for money and lust were engraved in his bones. It seemed unrealistic to expect him to be distracted.
"I didn't forget!"
Zhu Yunwen snorted angrily, picked up a piece of paper and scribbled a line of words, then picked up a seal and stamped it, "Go to the inner treasury to collect it when you go back."
Zhu Zhimei took it with a smile. Seeing that the sky was dark outside the palace, he was about to take a walk, "Your Majesty, I still have something to do, please leave."
"Don't worry."
But Zhu Di grabbed Zhu Zhi's sleeve and said, "You have made a fortune today. Why don't you treat me to a drink with the emperor?"
What kind of wine should I invite you two to drink? The emperor cannot leave the palace.
Zhu Zhi hurriedly waved his hand, "The places I go to are all dirty and weathered places. How can your majesty, who is so noble, go to such a place to relieve his dignity?"
But Zhu Yunwen stood up and called Shuang Xi, "Get ready with the royal guards. I will go out for a drink with the two uncles."
I'm almost sick from being bored in this palace. It would be nice to go out for a drink and listen to music.
As for the security issue? Even if he wanted to visit privately incognito, he couldn't sneak out like in the TV series with a few people. The Yiyue Pavilion where Zhu Zhi often went, the entire Liren Street had to be cleared before Zhu Yunwen arrived!
"Let's go."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Zhi, who looked embarrassed, "I have also seen how uncle Wang Liao spends a lot of money on weekdays. Let's agree first that you will treat us today."
Come on, I won't be able to escape due to heavy bleeding tonight.
"Then with our status, how should I introduce you?"
Zhu Zhi muttered, "How can an uncle take his nephew to visit a brothel?"
"I don't care, you can make up your own mind."
Zhu Yunwen is in a very good mood now. There are not many places for entertainment these days. Apart from the core services of the brothel, it can be regarded as the only elegant place where he can relax his mood these days.
"Oh, by the way, from now on in Nanjing, stop talking about Liaodong."
"Why!"
"Are you looking for a cut? Who are you talking to?"
