"After all, it's the money of the public..."

Yang Jing said anxiously again, "Besides, you did this, and other yamen listened to it. I may be able to expose anyone who is red-eyed!"

"I'm afraid of that!" Li Jinglong had a stutter on his neck, "Who asked the doctor to see who did they have red eyes?" He said, and sighed again, "The people below have been busy for a year, and they have worked hard without credit. If there is no money in the yamen, it's fine. You can't have money there, so let the people below save money, right?"

As he said that, he looked around and lowered his voice, "Your share has been sent to the mansion to hand it over to his sister-in-law's wife!"

Yang Jing was stunned and his hands trembled, "I dare not..."

"Everyone said, this money is reasonable! And this money is left over from the budget for this year's business!" Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Old Yang, if you don't accept it, will you dare to accept it? If you don't accept it, your heart will disperse!"

"This..." Yang Jing swallowed.

"Just take it seriously, can I harm you?" Li Jinglong said again, "I will take responsibility for anything! If the Ministry of Revenue finds fault with this matter, I can make up for it myself! What a big deal?"

Yang Jing was still worried, "This is for public funds and private use..."

"Wrong!" Li Jinglong smiled, "This is called flowers in the right place!"

At this moment, Li Xiaowai walked to Li Jinglong's side, "Master, someone is looking for him!"

"Lost your companion!" Li Jinglong stood up, accused him of guilt, and walked towards the back hall with great strides.

After passing through the corridor in the back hall, an inconspicuous room in the corner was Li Jinglong's office room.

His Duke Cao's mansion was magnificent and not under the Forbidden City, but this official office was extremely frugal and simple, and was particularly simple.

It is just a desk, several bookcases, and no antique calligraphy and paintings, only a few pots of orchids were placed.

When Li Jinglong entered, Li Xiaowai carefully took out a letter from his arms, placed it on Li Jinglong's table, turned around and retreated.

The sealing wax on the kraft envelope is intact.

There is no handwriting on it, it is smooth.

Li Jinglong took a silver knife and picked it open with a squeak.

After a few glances at me, the smile on my face became stronger and stronger.

"Li Zhigang has gone to Suzhou, and the time is right for opening the sea. With Li's character, the wealthy maritime merchants in Suzhou and Guangdong will inevitably retreat three feet away. I hope the Duke will make a decision in the capital!"

Signature, lowly Liu Guan!

The Li family has always been involved in the matter of sea trade.

At that time, Li Jinglong's younger brother Li Fangying was involved in several maritime merchants' smuggling, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to barely get out.

Not everyone can do wealthy maritime businessmen, and each company has backers behind them. But even if they have backers, there must be someone in Beijing to protect them.

So over the years, the maritime merchants and their backers have taken care of Duke Cao in private and sought convenience.

But for Li Jinglong, what is the money he has to pay?

What he has to do is to put his hands into the sea trade and even become a wealthy family in the sea trade!

But this matter is very difficult. After all, Li Jinglong is an official or a royal relative, and it is too ugly to be able to eat!

But once Li Zhigang took up the banner of opening the sea, Li Jinglong's opportunity came.

Li Zhigang was in front and bitten like a mad dog. Li Jinglong was in the back and joined forces with several military meritorious families. In addition, he was in charge of the treasure boat yard, and some of them were under his command.

Then, I will threaten and intimidate. Will the sailors of those wealthy maritime families have sailors, and they are all from him, Li Jinglong?

"Who are you working with?"

Li Jinglong had already started to plot in his heart, "Well, let it go, the Xu family! The Chang family and the Lan family are fine! Alas, I have to pull Hu Guan up, he is in charge of the emperor's private warehouse!"

"Well, once you become a maritime trade fleet, you can't hide this matter! Not only can you hide it, you have to say it in advance!"

Li Jinglong thought to himself, "If you make money, you will naturally take the big shot from Long Live! By the way, the King of Jin has to take it. After all, he is the emperor's cousin and my son's brother-in-law!"

Thinking of it, a person suddenly appeared in his mind.

"That's fine, let's go too close to him!"

He loves money because he loves money, but he has a clear understanding of money.

Money is spent, while interests are shared.

Only when the interest alliance is stable can money continue to flow.

Li Jinglong folded the letter in his hand, then picked up the flint and ignited it with a crack.

The purple flame rose instantly, swallowing the letter.

When the burning became a little hot, Li Jinglong put the burning letters in the teacup, waited for them to turn into ashes, and poured them into water.

Then, it sprinkles on the orchid's plate and turns into flower fat.

"Little wicked!" Li Jinglong shouted to the outside world.

"Here!" Li Xiao came in with his head wailingly.

"What's going on in Tangshan?" Li Jinglong asked.

Li Xiaowai bowed and replied, "When you say goodbye, you have bought all the 300 acres of land around Tangshan Hot Spring!" As he said, he paused, "They were purchased more than 20% of the market price. They were the money given by the documents signed by the villain from door to door, and they were also the land deeds for the villain to transfer the property to the Jurong County Government Office in person!"

"Yes!" Li Jinglong nodded.

Tangshan Town is located in the eastern suburbs of Yingtian Prefecture. It looks no different from other rural places, but there is something that is not available in other places.

spa!

As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this place was the royal family. Later, the famous female poet Li Qingzhao also settled here.

"Have the construction worker been looking for it?" Li Jinglong asked, looking at the orchid in the flower pot.

"Look for it!" Li Xiaowai said again, "It's the group of people who repaired the Ma Mansion for the young master!" As he said, he paused, "The drawings are imitated by Yuandadu Hot Springs Garden..." As he said, he paused again, "It's just that there is no hunting ground!"

"Well, how much is the budget?" Li Jinglong asked again.

"The villain asked the family account to calculate it. It was about 520,000 silver dollars..." As he said that, Li Xiaowai hurriedly said, "This is still a lenient thing to spend money, for fear that it would not be enough!"

"No!" Li Jinglong frowned and scolded, "What is 520,000 yuan? Tell the construction workers, and the accounting manager at home. I am not afraid of spending money. I have to spend this number! Also, if you write to Guangdong, the painted wallpaper used in the villa must be unique and exquisite!"

"I'll write to Gansu and quickly purchase Western Region carpets! There are also Tubo, Thangka Buddha statues, etc., which must be carefully selected and selected as the finest products in the world!"

"By the way, let me tell the construction people that the villa must be completed before September next year! I will delay for a day and send them to Myanmar land to open up land!"

"Master!" Li Xiaowai smiled bitterly, "If this is the case, this hot spring garden will be super...."

"Are you the master who built a hot spring garden for yourself?" Li Jinglong smiled, "Go and bring the drawings to me. I'm going to enter the palace!" As he said that, he looked down at the orchid in the office room, "You said, why are you not growing these orchids so well? You're so wilted!"

~~

The picture changes, Ganqing Palace and Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the snow on the ridge outside the window, looking a little tired.

He had just taken the Zhu family's royal family to sacrifice to the ancestors and the sky.

Before worshiping ancestors and heaven, I also ate a few days of vegetarian food.

It would be fine, but what made him feel most uncomfortable was that the Zhu family members looked half-dead when they worshiped the sky! But when they worshiped the ancestors, they all cried as if the sky was about to collapse!

Especially when we were worshiping the old man, the vassal kings almost didn't shout, Father, please open your eyes and take a look. Now your sons are all under someone's roof!

"I'll give you a break sooner or later, and my heart will be purified if you don't see me!" Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart.

At this moment, the turtle shame came in quietly, "Emperor, Duke Cao is here!"

"Yeah, pass!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

Soon, Li Jinglong came in with a scroll under his armpit and kowtowed, "My minister, Li Jinglong, kowtow to the emperor!"

"What's under your arm?" Zhu Yunxiu asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, your face is not good?" Li Jinglong stepped forward and asked with concern, "Why are you losing weight again? Are you still a little bit in good spirits?"

Zhu Yun's eyes were blank and said nothing.

"Hey! The huge world, family, state, and people's affairs are all on the shoulders of the emperor!" Li Jinglong sighed, "I have seen it and I think it's too difficult for you... to be there!"

"Well, I'm having trouble!" Zhu Yunxiu glanced at him again, "Why is it difficult for me? Isn't it really worrying if no one helps me?"

"I am incompetent! I cannot share my worries for the emperor!" Li Jinglong immediately lowered his head and smiled randomly, "I am born stupid, and this is impossible. But although I am stupid, I am filial!"

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at the other party suspiciously, "What filial piety?"

Li Jinglong smiled and presented the scroll in his hands with both hands.

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! You are in the country and the country, and you cannot share your worries with your emperor in military and national affairs! Only some tricks can help the emperor to relieve his fatigue!"

As he said, he smiled and unfolded the scroll, "I said earlier that your life is too hard...Your stays in the Forbidden City all year round, and people outside think that the Forbidden City is so good. In fact, in my opinion, that's all the same thing!"

"I heard from others that taking a hot spring can relieve fatigue, prolong life, and eliminate all diseases! And Tangshan Town outside Yingtianfu, the hot springs have been famous for thousands of years! So I made my own decision and bought hundreds of acres of land there. I have asked people to start construction in the same way as the Royal Villa of Yuan Dadu in the previous dynasty... "

"Aren't you messing around?" Zhu Yunxiu said angrily, "Don't you spend money randomly?" As he said, he stood up and looked down at the scroll, "Is this a drawing?"

"Yes, it's just a tentative drawing. Please make corrections for me!" Li Jinglong smiled, "I heard that there are several villas in the overseas Xiao Wang. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You can't be wronged, right?"

"Besides, there will be more and more foreign vassals in the future, and they will be received in the Forbidden City, which will also lower the glorious power of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Hot spring?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at the drawings and felt a little warm.
