294 Chapter 294 In collusion? (2)
"Drinking? Where can I go to drink in broad daylight?"
Li Jinglong naturally denied that he was very good at pretending to be confused.
"How come there is a smell of alcohol?" Hu Guan frowned.
It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol when the palace is on duty, and the national mourning has just passed, so drinking alcohol at this time is a big or small sin.
"This!" Li Jinglong pointed to the remaining ham on the plate, "Cooked from the rice wine! So it smells like wine, if you don't believe me, try it!"
He always felt that it was not that simple for Hu Guan, so he was deeply wary of winning over him.
After hearing what he said, Hu Guan looked suspiciously at the leftovers on the table.
"Your food is good!" Hu Guan said with a smile.
"Hi!" Li Jinglong called out, "It's just a little bit of a stomach!" As he said that, he shouted to the outside world, "Come on, take all these things down and serve tea!"
The eunuch on duty outside ran over and packed it up quickly. After a few seconds, he presented new tea and walked away with the food box.
"Mr. Prince Consort, are you asking me for trouble?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Two things!" Hu Guan smiled, "The first thing!" As he said that, he took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and gently pushed them over, "The last time was thanks to your mansion!"
"What's the matter?" Li Jinglong continued to pretend to be confused.
Hu Guan smiled awkwardly, "Duke Cao, can you give me some face?"
"Hi, why am I going to do it!" Li Jinglong returned the silver note, "No hurry!"
He smiled on his face, but he thought to himself, "This Hu Guan is really not simple. He knew so quickly that he had mortgaged the pawnshop for the pawnshop for the pawnshop, and it was me behind him!"
When Hu Guan was beaten by Mao Xiang and had nowhere to raise money, he had to privately mortgage his family's property. The mortgage party was the property of Li Jinglong's family.
"If you don't have to worry, I'm in a hurry! The principal and interest are there!" Hu Guan pushed the silver bills over again.
"Look, it's unreasonable to push around!" Li Jinglong frowned and whispered, "I'll forget if you don't say this!"
Hu Guan smiled bitterly, "You can forget such a big thing. Duke Cao, you are really a noble man, forget too much!"
"It's not that I forgot, but that I didn't take it to my heart!" Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Mr. Prince Concubine, are we friends? Is it a friend who helps each other a little, and do you still need to remember it in your heart?"
Hu Guan said, "Look at what you said, after all, the number is not small!"
"What's wrong with the amount?" Li Jinglong said seriously, "What is money? Money is a bastard who makes money again after he is gone, but friends are for the rest of their lives. In this life, people can only eat one meal and one bowl of rice, and sleep only three feet wide. What's the use of so much money? You are my friend, please spend some for me, you respect me!"
As he said that, he pushed the bill over again, "I have to accept your affection, thank you!"
Hu Gua was stunned, always feeling that this was wrong at all, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't know how to refute it.
"Okay!" Hu Guan put the silver notes back in his pocket, "I will send them back to your shop, and do business!"
Li Jinglong picked up the teacup and smiled, "Mr. Prince Consort, the second thing you want to ask me?"
"I almost forgot the serious business. Look at my stupid head!" Hu Guan laughed at himself and bowed to the sky. "The emperor is not in harmony, and he has a new official position!"
Li Jinglong put down the teacup and hurriedly said, "Congratulations, can you ask about the new errand?"
Hu Guan scratched his head, showing a little confused look, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. This new official position is only a little bit clear. The emperor said that if I can't figure it out, I want to ask you for advice, and you will definitely be able to give me some advice!"
"It has something to do with me?" Li Jinglong was shocked and said, "I would like to hear it clearly!"
"The Asset Accounting Department of the Royal Clan of the Ming Dynasty!" Hu Guan spoke slowly.
Now, it was Li Jinglong's turn to be confused.
"What kind of yamen is this?" Li Jinglong said in his heart, "Royal Clan Asset Accountant? Could it be..."
Hu Guan continued to explain, "The emperor took out a sum of money alone and asked him to take charge of it, saying that it was the private property of the Ming Dynasty royal family."
"Hmm?" Li Jinglong was shocked again and asked quickly, "How many?"
Hu Guan looked out the window and saw no one, and whispered, "Only you and me can know!"
"Are you still worried about my character?" Li Jinglong leaned over.
"15 million silver dollars, cash!" Hu Guan said, swallowing his saliva, "It's all in stock, I can check it at any time!"
"Hiss!" Li Jinglong took a breath of air in his heart, "Does the emperor's private warehouse have so much money? I really can't prepare it! The old man's private warehouse is now the emperor's, and it is still the property confiscated by the vassal kings..."
Then, a question mark appeared in his mind, "What does this official position have to do with me?"
As if he saw what he was thinking, Hu Guan continued to smile and said, "Yuan Sui said it! Money is dead, and only money can be used to circulate money is the right way. Wan Sui also said that in the future, there will be more and more people in the royal family, and we cannot all rely on the court. It is best if the royal industry is to have some inputs. If your family supports your own family, the people in the world can also reduce some burden!"
"Royal estate?" Li Jinglong said to himself, "The royal family has industries! There are so many royal farmlands, and several streets in the capital are under the name of Guanglu Temple. The rent collected every year is sent to the Da Nei!"
Thinking of it, he was suddenly shocked and seemed to understand.
As mentioned earlier, in the war against Myanmar, according to his calculations, he was only the second biggest beneficiary. The biggest beneficiary is naturally the emperor.
He was thinking just now that the store for buying and selling plates will be too big in the future, and it will probably attract jealousy!
"The emperor asked him to find me, is he trying to make money through my money?" Li Jinglong's brain was running quickly, "Hu Guan is equivalent to the accountant, am I equivalent to the shopkeeper?"
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong!" Li Jinglong was upset, "I just thought about something else, but I didn't expect that so much money was revealed all of a sudden. The emperor must have thoughts in his mind. I'm going to be on my mind!"
"Oh my god, what should I do!"
But the next second, he suddenly became happy again.
"The Accounting Department of the Royal Assets of the Ming Dynasty? If I insert the emperor's money and the royal money, isn't it linked my interests to the emperor and even the royal interests? So, aren't my shameful things directly reasonable and legal?"
"Well, I will do business with the emperor. In the future, everyone will share the accounts together. The emperor will not be able to do without me! Maybe in a few years, the accounting department will fall into my hands and help the emperor manage the money, which is not impossible!"
"From now on, the emperor and I will be inseparable from you and I will have you!"
"No wonder the emperor acquiesced to me to interfere in the military supplies against Myanmar this time. It turns out that he is waiting for me here?"
He was almost always thinking about it, and that's what Zhu Yunxiu really meant.
The royal family's assets need to be taken care of, and some overseas income must also enter the royal family's pocket.
"Duke Cao? Duke Cao?" Seeing that Li Jinglong did not speak for a long time, Hu Guan waved his hand and smiled.
Li Jinglong came back to his senses, "Oh, I was lost for a moment!" He said, bowing, "It's really a great emperor's grace!"
Hu Guan said again, "You give me some advice, how can you make him more money?"
Li Jinglong was silent immediately, but then he suddenly remembered what he had thought about when he was alone just now.
It is true that he is the beneficiary of the military use against Myanmar this time, but it is only one of them.
Because the biggest one is the emperor!
Thinking of this, he already had a scheming in his mind.
"Just just now, Duke Xu Huizu of Wei asked me to handle military supplies!" Li Jinglong whispered, "But, they have no money, the court will not give it money! I also said, give it to me one after the war!"
Hu Guan thought, "Is it related to us?"
"Yes, it's a big deal!" Li Jinglong laughed and lowered his voice, "Mr. Prince Consort, look, he has no money. We have money, can we lend it to him?"
Hu Guan was stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes, "Didn't you tell him that the battle is all together? What if he doesn't want to borrow it?"
"Whose money is this?" Li Jinglong knocked on the table, "As long as he is not stupid, he must borrow it, or rush to borrow it!"
Hu Guan's eyes rolled around, "Bring interest?"
"Well! There is no reason to use money in vain. Brothers haven't settled the score yet!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Si Li!"
"Hiss! It's black!" Hu Guan said.
"Not black! It's not considered a profit yet!" Li Jinglong smiled wickedly.
Then he quickly thought in his mind, "The money they purchased this time was the emperor's money. The emperor's money was turned into mine through their hands, and then my money must still be the emperor's money!"
