"Yes, the prince-in-law said he would deliver it to you once every two months. What I brought this time is for the first two months."
"Take me to see it quickly."
Yuan Xiu pulled Wei You up and said, "It's better to ask someone to carry him in!"
Wei Yang nodded, clapped his hands, and said, "Bring the box in!"
After a while, two rows of boxes were placed in front of Yuan Xiu.
Yuan Xiu opened them one by one, and when he saw the shining silver, he smiled from ear to ear.
Lu Lu, who was standing aside, glanced at the silver coins and couldn't help but feel frightened.
Yuan Xiu bowed down, picked up a handful of silver, touched it, and asked, "Wei You, how much silver is there?"
Wei You took out the account book from a box and said: "This is the profit sharing for Jingdong County, Jiangyang County, Yunjing County and Yanchuan area for two months. If you divide it by zero, the total amount will be four million taels."
Yuan Xiu turned around and said in surprise: "Four million taels??"
Wei You nodded solemnly and said: "There is indeed this number!"
Yuan Xiu threw down the silver in his hand and said loudly: "His grandma's money is more than what I have saved in a year!"
"Ahem..." Wei You cleared his throat and said, "When the consort handed the money to me, I was also shocked."
Yuan Xiudao: "My brother-in-law is too rich, isn't he?!"
Wei You said: "The prince-in-law said, let your majesty make do with it first. When his business gets better and better, your majesty will get more. He will strictly abide by the agreement with your majesty and will not take advantage of your majesty."
"Hey, are you still using it? Why don't you take advantage of me? All the money in the world belongs to me!"
Yuan Xiunun pursed her lips. Although she was complaining, she was happy in her heart and sighed: "Sister Huang really married into a good family!"
As he said that, Yuan Xiu frowned slightly and said: "Zhao Cheng's business is so profitable and can accumulate huge wealth for the Youxiang Mansion. This is not a good thing."
Wei You quickly said: "As far as I know, the consort's business has been developing, and the profits earned will be immediately invested in the project."
Yuan Xiu asked: "You mean, he did not hoard gold and silver, but continued to expand the scale of his business?"
Wei Duoyue nodded and said: "That's right. So I think that if the prince-in-law is a man who is easy to get rich and hoards gold and silver, then your majesty really has to be on guard, because it is not clear what the prince-in-law will do with the money. But the prince-in-law blindly expands
The scale of his business, then no matter how big his business is, it will ultimately be yours, Your Majesty?"
"In my eyes, the Consort is His Majesty's porter. He makes money and Your Majesty spends it."
"That's the truth!" Yuan Xiu patted Wei You's arm and said with a smile: "In the past two years, the imperial court has been short of money, and I am also short of money. If Qingdonghou hadn't been in charge of the household department, I would have died of poverty! For
During the war, for disaster relief, and for the sake of the Xishan Dam, I didn’t even dare to renovate my palace, and even the half-renovated Yuxin Palace was stopped. In the past two years, I built a star observation tower!”
“Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!”
"Wei You, you can go find Luo Mingyi later and ask him to continue building the new Imperial Palace for me."
"I just said that there is no need to go through the procedures to ask the Ministry of Accounts to allocate funds. The money will come from my internal funds and let him start construction immediately. I also insisted on it hahaha!!"
"yes!!"
Wei You was also happy for Yuan Xiu. He glanced at Lu Lu and said in Yuan Xiu's ear: "Your Majesty, the profit share given to you by the consort is four hundred taels, but there are a total of four hundred and fifty taels in these boxes."
Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "The prince-in-law respects your money, why don't you take it out?"
Wei You said: "Everything I have is given by Your Majesty. If you want to get benefits from doing things for Your Majesty, then I really don't even have the face."
Yuan Xiu pointed at Wei You, then at Lu Lu, and said, "Do you know why I trust you two the most? It's because you two regard me as family."
After saying that, Yuan Xiu pointed to the door of the royal study and said: "Once this door is closed, the three of us will become family!"
"Wei You, your five hundred thousand dollars should be used to help me build the Yuxin Palace. Anyway, after the Yuxin Palace is built, you will stay there permanently."
"My honor!"
"This Zhao Cheng..." Yuan Xiu smiled coldly and said, "He wanted to bribe you so that you would have leverage in his hands, but he didn't expect that you would not accept his tricks at all."
Wei You said seriously: "I am only loyal to Your Majesty."
"It's a pity, there are so few people who are truly loyal to me." As if he thought of something bad, Yuan Xiu's face darkened, and he sat down among the pile of money.
"Wei You, my queen gave me medicine last night."
…
Zuo Xiangfu.
By the lake, Wen Hu accompanied Wen Tai on fishing.
Liu Ling stood behind the two of them and reported Yu Changsi's itinerary. After Yu Changsi entered the city, he took Luo Ying to do some errands and asked Liu Ling to return home first. If Liu Ling turned around and looked back at this position, he would see that
In the bamboo forest not far away, there was a young woman practicing her marksmanship.
"You have worked hard on this journey, take a good two days to rest." Wen Tai calmly held the fishing rod in his hands.
Liu Ling nodded, but did not step back. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There is someone beside Zhao Cheng whose Qinggong is equal to mine."
Wen Tai didn't feel anything. Wen Hu was more sensitive to this kind of thing and asked: "Are they from your Liu family?"
"no."
"On the top of Yanshan Mountain, the Liu family grows lotus. Is there anyone who can match the Liu family's Qing Gong? Is that person a boy or a girl, and how old is he?"
"A man, about eighteen or nineteen years old."
Wen Hu rubbed his fingers in thought and said, "No wonder Zhao Cheng always gets the upper hand when he goes south. It turns out that he also has intelligence experts around him! Liu Ling, this man is about the same age as you. Is he sure he can instigate rebellion?"
Liu Ling thought for a while and said: "Judging from his attitude towards Zhao Cheng... he is very loyal and has little hope of instigating rebellion."
Wen Hu smiled and said: "Instigating rebellion does not necessarily require money. You and he are both top-notch Qing Gong masters. There must be many topics in common..."
Liu Ling was shocked and asked: "You want me to use a honey trap?"
Wen Hu said: "You can also say that."
"Isn't this idea too stupid?" Liu Ling blurted out: "I'm not a beauty!"
Being slapped in the face, Wen Hu was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Wen Tai laughed and said, "This idea is quite stupid."
"uncle……"
"Okay Liu Ling, just ignore him, we won't sacrifice your appearance. Hey! The fish is on!"
Wenhu quickly put down his fishing rod and went to help Wentai fish.
Liu Ling still didn't leave and said, "One more thing. When I entered the palace, I found that someone had bribed the guards to leave the palace quietly."
Wen Tai looked at the fish he caught with satisfaction and asked: "What kind of person is worth telling us about?"
Wen Hu reminded: "Liu Ling, what Zuo Xiang means is that you must learn to analyze and filter information, and don't pass everything to Zuo Xiang."
Liu Ling said: "But I think this person is quite important."
"who?"
"King of Faith."
Wen Hu was stunned. The fish that had just been unhooked shook, slipped from his hands and jumped back into the water.
Wen Hu looked at Liu Ling suspiciously and said, "King Xin? He should be in Xuzhong County!"
