Chapter 321: Treasurer Wang's Repaying Resentment with Virtue (2 in 1)(1/2)
"That's what the prince said!" He Sanren quickly bowed down, "It's just that the path is stupid..."
"There is no need to mention this matter again." Zhang Feng picked up the teacup, "I will hand over the matter to the Ministry of Etiquette, and let the Ministry of Etiquette add the name of the fellow Taoist to the holy banquet list, and then add a table for the fellow Taoist.
Tonight, the post should be delivered to fellow Taoist’s house.
Regarding the itinerary etiquette mentioned above, Taoist friends, please pay more attention to it.
This matter is not as free and bold as Jianghu."
Zhang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Fellow Taoist is the person I brought here. I believe it won't embarrass me, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" When He Sanren heard that His Majesty had given him the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, his spirits were suddenly shaken, and his words were filled with "loyalty".
At the same time, he saw the prince drinking tea again, so after another bow, he slowly left.
To outsiders, he looks like a guest in the prince's palace.
Moreover, Zhang Feng approved his post and said that he was ‘the person he brought there’. He secretly meant that he would be allowed to go to the palace banquet as his disciple.
This has always been the case with etiquette.
Otherwise, even if you are an ascended monk, you will not be able to enter the palace if you want to.
As an ascended monk, He Sanren has a clear mind and certainly understands this.
Now, he also showed the status rules that a guest should have and decided to serve the prince!
But the premise of everything is national destiny, dragon energy, and giving him a training bonus and an improvement in strength.
Zhang Feng also knew this. To put it bluntly, it was mutual help and benefit.
In the words of shopkeeper Wang, this is a business where you spend money to sell your life, so how can there be any loyalty?
However, this mutually beneficial thing is only useful to He San people.
But for Eunuch Sun and the six ascended monks in the palace, they have been in the palace for decades and have already integrated into the big Qi family.
Sacrificing one's life for the dynasty is a small matter.
It can be said that even if the Holy One gave him an order and asked Eunuch Sun and the others to kill all the cults in the lake, they would not even blink an eye.
This is also often said in the world, the court's loyal eagle dog.
When Eunuch Sun and the others were exterminating the evil sect, they often heard such curse words.
Especially in my own memory.
I remember that eighteen years ago, in order to train myself, the general asked me and Eunuch Sun to destroy a cult together.
The leader at that time scolded Eunuch Sun for being a hawk in the court. He also said that as an ascended monk, he should be carefree and at ease, so why should he serve the court?
I even hope that Eunuch Sun will change his mind, capture him, and then return to the free embrace of the world.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the disciples in the sect were making noises and trying to persuade him.
Based on this memory, Zhang Feng was also thinking and felt that what they said was correct.
Ascended monks are just going against the will of heaven, and there is really no need to work hard for the imperial court.
Eunuch Sun can completely regenerate his limbs and live the life he wants.
Like shopkeeper Wang, like fellow Taoist Li, like the ascended monks in the world, they are as carefree and at ease as they are.
But in the end.
Faced with the kind words and persuasion of these people, Eunuch Sun said that inciting rebellion against the imperial officials and trying to capture the prince was a serious crime and treason!
The results are naturally self-evident.
As soon as the leader said this, the entire sect was wiped out by Eunuch Sun, and no one escaped.
And based on this memory, Zhang Feng also knew that Eunuch Sun and others were trustworthy people.
Of course, some people think that it was because Eunuch Sun was afraid of the millions of monks under the general and the power of the Qi court that he did not reveal the slightest hint of rebellion and freedom.
No matter why.
Until today.
Since Zhang Feng came to this world, he has met Eunuch Sun three times, and each time he has seen it with his mind.
Every time, I can only see him working hard and serving the court wholeheartedly.
Even if Zhang Feng looked at him with his mind, it wasn't that he didn't believe him.
But since he is an ascended monk after all, and he often comes into contact with him, there is nothing wrong with taking a closer look, making sure, and seeking peace of mind, right?
But I also thought of Eunuch Sun.
Zhang Feng had a vague feeling that he would come over today.
It didn't take long either.
When He Sanren left, about half an hour passed.
If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here.
After the old housekeeper came back, he brought one more person with him.
He was wearing an official peacock robe, and he was none other than the kind-hearted Eunuch Sun.
When Zhang Feng saw him coming, he asked the old housekeeper to prepare tea while looking at Eunuch Sun who was saluting in the hall, "It's the birthday of the Holy One, so the palace should be busy."
When Zhang Feng said this, he looked at the back of the old housekeeper outside the house, and then at Eunuch Sun who was laughing dryly, "Eunuch Sun came here specially today, why?"
"Your Majesty, this old slave is here because His Majesty heard that you wanted to take some silver from the treasury..."
Eunuch Sun said, fearing that the prince would misunderstand, and then continued: "Your Majesty has given the order, and now the silver coins are being loaded into the car by people from the Ministry of Revenue and heading towards the prince's house.
The old slave came here just to tell the prince that there have been too many silver notes in the imperial capital recently, and all the banks in the imperial capital have been cashed out by the snowflake-like silver notes.
Nowadays, the real money and silver in the national treasury cannot make ends meet...
I'm afraid that when all the banks in the imperial capital fail to redeem the banknotes handed over to them, some people may feel that the treasury is empty... and mistakenly think that the imperial court is using white paper with official stamps to treat the world.
If this leads to nonsense... it will be a big deal..."
"There isn't much silver left in the treasury?" Zhang Feng heard what Eunuch Sun said and knew what he meant.
But first of all, this is not about raising an army to ask for guilt. It is not about asking why you still ask the treasury for money at this juncture.
But my senior brother wanted to use Eunuch Sun's words to say that the family had no money, and if he wanted to spend a lot of money, it was best not to use real money.
"I haven't been to court for the past few days..." Zhang Feng thought of this and stood up to help Eunuch Sun up. "I don't know the situation of the bank in the imperial capital. This withdrawal of money was not considered carefully."
Zhang Feng said, thinking about the fourth prince again.
It seems that this nephew knows that the treasury does not have much gold and silver, and the Holy One will definitely not give it to him.
So, the total is calculated against oneself?
Then, the Holy Father followed the trend and asked Eunuch Sun to report the news that he had no money. Didn't he just owe his senior brother a favor?
Look, this family has no money, and they still have to squeeze it out for themselves to gain the benefits of establishing a reputation. The blame is being shouldered by the Holy One. This is not a favor, what is this?
Zhang Feng thought about it and felt that this senior brother was also full of scheming, a blatant plan to make people suffer.
I guess I was afraid that I was still angry with the general, so I made this plan.
"About the matter of silver." Zhang Feng saw that this favor had come to him, and did not want to continue it in vain, so he turned to Eunuch Sun who wanted to say something else: "I have some friendship with shopkeeper Wang, and I will let him know when the time comes.
Let him allocate some silver coins and go to the bank to exchange for banknotes to supplement the needs of the national treasury."
"This..." When Eunuch Sun heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "With the permission of the Holy Spirit, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue has already discussed it with Shopkeeper Wang in private... Now, Shopkeeper Wang is allocating silver coins and sending them to the treasury...
Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the money you got today is actually the first batch of money that Shopkeeper Wang took into the treasury..."
"That's it." Zhang Feng nodded, said no more, and motioned to the old butler to see off the guests.
This trap has been introduced here, and we can only accept it.
Otherwise, would you still say that you just want to borrow money from Shopkeeper Wang?
How much does this hurt the feelings of the brothers?
The worst thing is, just like the fourth prince, it's fine if you don't pay it back.
What a simple thing.
But another problem arises here.
The relationship between the Ministry of Revenue and Shopkeeper Wang is good.
The Ministry of Revenue is also the most trusted department of the Holy Emperor.
In other words.
There is a high probability that Shopkeeper Wang is interested in the imperial court.
In other words, although Shopkeeper Wang is dedicated to doing business, he also knows that it is difficult to support a single tree. Especially when doing business in Daqi, it cannot be done without taking advantage of the situation.
So he took advantage of the power of the imperial court to realize his dream of becoming richest in the world.
It is said that after his wish was fulfilled, he became a member of the imperial court.
To be continued...
