At noon the next day, Zhang Tianhao led people to the Vulcan Religion House and stacked a dozen boxes of different sizes inside the house.
Ma Xiaoquan was sitting in the main hall, taking a sip of the newly brewed tea in his hand, then put down the cup in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the box in the courtyard.
Zhang Tianhao stepped forward unceremoniously and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, we don't have much silver in cash, so we brought gold. Silver and gold are ten to one, so I even took most of the gold to offset the silver."
Ma Xiaoquan ignored Zhang Tianhao's rudeness, but turned around and shouted: "Hu Cai!"
"exist!"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and ordered: "Find someone to do an inventory."
"yes!"
Zhang Tianhao snorted coldly: "Ma Xiaoquan, I got the money, can you get out now?"
Ma Xiaoquan stood up thoughtfully, walked to Zhang Tianhao, shook his head and said: "Zhang Tianhao, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Do you think I will sell the Vulcan Sect with these golds?
"
"What, do you want to raise the price? Or do you want to default on the bill?"
"No, no, no..." Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, raised his head and looked outside the house door, "You have brought the money, it must be sold, but you are not buying it from me."
Zhang Tianhao was stunned and said quickly: "Ma Xiaoquan, what do you mean?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and pointed outside the house.
At this time, outside the Vulcan Religion's residence, believers wearing blue robes had gathered.
Zhang Tianhao was stunned and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Zhang Tianhao, I did the math. Currently, the Vulcan Sect has a total of 2,800 members. Well, you said, the money, okay, there is a lot of gold, let's use 34,000 taels.
Let’s talk about gold, well, these 34,000 taels of gold are compared to the 2,800 people, how much can each person share?”
"What? You...you want to divide it?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes."
"You, don't you want this money?"
Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands and said, "I have money. Why do I need so much money? You can't take it with you even if you live or die." As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan winked at Zhang Sheng beside him.
Zhang Sheng had already received Ma Xiaoquan's instructions. When he saw Ma Xiaoquan winking at him, he quickly announced loudly: "Did you hear that, the God of Fire is going to distribute the first two taels of gold to all of us...
.Everyone, please worship the God of Fire..."
The congregation outside the house exploded when they heard that Lord Fire God wanted to divide the money. Thirty-four thousand taels of gold were divided among 2,800 people. On average, each person could get almost nine taels of gold. Gold? This
But gold, two taels of silver can make a family of four live a very good life. How much would it cost if nine taels of gold were exchanged for silver? This... I dare not even think about it...
...
The smart congregants quickly calculated the results, and the stupid ones also understood it after being enlightened on demand.
Outside the house, the congregants suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Hail, God of Fire, Hail, God of Fire."
Ma Xiaoquan did not dare to make excuses. He quickly stood up and shouted to the congregation: "Everyone, actually what I did today was all for the sake of the emperor. This money was actually provided by the emperor. The purpose is
Let everyone live a good life, but... you can't take this money for nothing, you must work hard and contribute to our Ming Dynasty. Oh, by the way, the final interpretation of this event,
As the brother of our current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xin Wang Zhu Youjian is responsible for explaining. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask the prince. Of course, the prince’s temper is not very good, so you want to understand before asking. If
If you don't ask the right questions, the prince will deduct your money."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said these words, Zhang Tianhao was completely stunned.
He asked Wei Zhongxian for this money yesterday, but it was actually just for the show. Zhang Tianhao also issued a military order, saying that the money would go away and return to Zhao intact, but now... the money...
..given by Ma Xiaoquan...
"Ma Xiaoquan, you are talking nonsense!" Zhang Tianhao became anxious, "This money was obviously used by me to buy the Vulcan Cult, how can you say it belongs to the emperor?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged and pointed outside the gate. Zhang Tianhao turned around again and saw King Xin Zhu Youjian respectfully holding a scroll in his hand. The color of the scroll was dragon yellow.
Zhu Youjian walked in with a depressed expression, came to Ma Xiaoquan and said: "Ma Xiaoquan takes the order!"
Ma Xiaoquan quickly knelt down and said respectfully: "I accept the order!"
Zhu Youjian's eyes were a little complicated, but he still unfolded the imperial edict and read it again.
Zhang Tianhao was completely dumbfounded when he heard King Xin reciting the imperial edict. What he never expected was how the money became the emperor's, and those responsible for the distribution and use of the money were King Xin Zhu Youjian and Ma Xiaoquan.
With a "pop", Zhang Tianhao sat down on the ground. He held his head in pain and was at a loss.
Zhu Youjian handed the imperial edict to Ma Xiaoquan, leaned next to him and whispered: "Ma Xiaoquan, what happened to you this time was a bit too sudden. I almost didn't follow you."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and responded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this money belongs to Wei Zhongxian anyway. Let's take it. In name, it belongs to the Emperor, but in fact it is distributed by you, Your Majesty, so this money has actually become the prince's."
It’s yours…”
Zhu Youjian's eyes widened sharply, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Does that mean that all this money belongs to me?"
"Of course, the prince will plan for big things in the future. If you don't spend some money to settle things at the bottom of the box, how can you have the capital to plan?"
"Okay, Ma Xiaoquan, you actually thought of this. Yes, yes, I saw you right!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "It's just Prince, you can't take all the money. You know, after all, we are in the name of distribution, so more or less... hehe..."
Zhu Youjian smiled: "What to do, it's up to you. I've eaten meat, so I have to let you drink some soup, right?"
"Hey, thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly, patted Ma Xiaoquan on the shoulder, and then walked out of the house.
After going around a few corners, several of Zhu Youjian's cronies came up and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, that Ma Xiaoquan is so... This man, although he is the prince's person, he belongs to the prince."
I always think he is dangerous..."
Zhu Youjian smiled slightly: "No, he is not dangerous, because he is greedy for money..." Zhu Youjian smiled confidently, "I finally understand that this guy Ma Xiaoquan is greedy for money, well, very good, as long as
If you have weaknesses, you can control them...Okay, this matter today is for my sake, so don't talk about it anymore, let's go."
"yes!"
Not long after Zhu Youjian led a few men away, not far away, a girl selling cakes raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then continued to sell cakes on the stall.
