When he heard this number, Gao Shaoyi also opened his eyes. He understood the principle that rare things are more valuable, but he did not expect it to be so expensive.
Gao Shaoyi has long known the appeal of Coca-Cola to the common people, but it seems that he underestimated it.
"Is there nothing going on at my house?"
Gao Shaoyi thought of his sister who stayed at home. When the war in Haicheng was tense, Gao Shaoyi didn't even have the time to send a telegram home.
"I haven't heard anything happened. It's just that Princess Wen Ning often comes to your house, but she probably won't go there often in the future. I guess it's because of her marriage to Dong Di. Isn't it settled now?"
Li Kunyi also knew about Gao Shaoyi's family, but he didn't know it carefully enough. The frequency of Princess Wen Ning's visits to the Marquis Mansion has not decreased at all, but is much higher than before.
Others didn't understand what was going on, but Gao Shaoyi understood it very well.
The stage of breaking off the engagement has passed.
But Princess Wenning still wants to marry herself!
Even if Princess Wen Ning doesn't want to, Gao Shaoyi will never let his woman marry into someone else's family.
We already have skin-to-skin contact. If we marry someone else, won’t our heads turn into a prairie?
"Master Hou..."
When Gao Shaoyi was about to fall asleep, he heard Li Kunyi's voice, saying there was something wrong with this kid.
"If you have something to say, just say it, if you have a fart, let it go. We haven't known each other for a day or two. Why are you becoming more and more effeminate now?"
Gao Shaoyi naturally felt uncomfortable having his sleep disturbed. However, after hearing Gao Shaoyi's words, Li Kunyi smiled happily. This is still the same buddy as before, and his tone has not changed at all.
It's strange to say that if Gao Shaoyi spoke politely, Li Kunyi would feel that he was in crisis. In the past, his tone of half scolding and half cursing was more cordial.
"Can I get a position in the Zhili Governor's Yamen? Or get me a third-grade title. I'm not doing it for myself. I am a concubine. My mother is the concubine in the government. I have to go there every day.
There are rules around the eldest lady. My mother will be 50 years old next year. If I want to have a third-grade title..."
Li Kunyi didn't finish his words, but Gao Shaoyi understood what was going on.
Li Hongtang was a dignified minister of military affairs and minister of prime ministerial affairs, but he could not break the rules of the Daqian Dynasty.
A concubine is a concubine. You will never have a place to sit in the main room in your life. As long as the wife of the house sits here, unless you have a physical problem, otherwise you will have to stand nearby and be honest.
You have to get melons and fruits to pour tea.
But the concubine is not without hope in her life. If her son has a third-grade title or a regular official position in the court, then the concubine can be appointed by the court. Although she still has to set the rules in front of the eldest wife,
With the official attire of the imperial court on her body, this eldest lady will be more restrained.
If you don't give face to the common people in your family, you should always give it to the court. If someone wears the royal court's imperial robes and you let them set rules in front of you for a day, you will definitely be punished by spreading an arrogant accusation.
Gao Shaoyi thought about it for a while. The Zhili Governor's Yamen can only appoint officials below the fifth rank. Li Kunyi's title is the fifth-rank Yunqiwei. It may not be easy to get him a third-rank title, but it is not easy to get a straight title.
Officials attached to the governor's yamen still have no problem.
"Do you have an official you like?"
Gao Shaoyi is not very clear about the official positions under the Zhili Governor's Yamen. Judging from the boy's behavior, he must have inquired about it a long time ago.
"I wonder if the Zhili Kusi Yamen is okay? Anyway, it is a sinecure, and now all the official warehouses under the Zhili Governor are empty."
Li Kun thought for a while and said, although there are many real powers in the official position of the fifth rank, this guy does not have any greed. He just wanted to make his mother feel better, so he chose the Kusi Yamen.
In the Kusi Yamen of Zhili, Mr. Kusi, the palm official, is in charge of thirty-two warehouses in Zhili. He used to be a very good job, but now all the warehouses are empty, and no one wants to be this official.
It has been empty for half a year.
"Since this official position is vacant, I'll give it to you, but after you take office, I have some things to tell you."
Gao Shaoyi immediately knew what to do as soon as he rolled his eyes. These warehouses were built very solidly, but these years the treasury was empty and this warehouse was in vain.
Gao Shaoyi usually went back and forth to exchange supplies, which was a bit cumbersome. He might as well fill up all these warehouses. Of course, he must have troops he trusts to guard them.
If there is a risk of it falling into the hands of others, just blow it up and destroy it without letting others get it.
"Everyone listens to the Lord Marquis's orders."
Having achieved his goal, Li Kunyi was overjoyed, but he didn't know what Gao Shaoyi asked him to do. Those treasuries were empty, could it be that he was asked to dig deep to find money?
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the Beijing Railway Station. It turned out that there were many checkpoints along the way, all controlled by foreigners. However, after Gao Shaoyi's operation, all the checkpoints along the way were removed, except for
Two checkpoints were left in Haicheng and Jingcheng, and the speed was 40% faster than before, which can be regarded as promoting economic exchanges between the two places.
"Everyone stands at attention and plays music."
In the square of the train station, the military band of the Suppression Army had already assembled.
Although it is impossible for Gao Shaoyi's level to come to the capital, there will be no welcome ceremony, but the military band of the Zhenlu Army has been queuing up for several months. It is finally possible to have a chance to welcome him, and he is our Marquis, so how could he not come?
How about showing your face?
"Greetings to the young master."
When Gao Shaoyi got off the train, he saw the two foreign stewards of his family. Their faces were flushed, so he must have had a good life during this period.
After a few words with the military band members, Gao Shaoyi got in the car and went home.
The capital is different from Haicheng. Although I am the governor of Zhili, if you throw a brick casually in the capital, you can probably hit a third-rank official. A second-rank Zhili governor like me is really not a high official.
But the rights are not small.
"Did our house get robbed? Why are there so many people at the door?"
As soon as he turned the corner, Gao Shaoyi saw the gate of Hou Mansion crowded with people.
"Young Master, you all came to our house to deliver posts. I heard that you have returned to the capital this time. Officials of all sizes want to visit you. However, according to the instructions of the eldest lady, they only accepted the posts without replying.
These people are waiting for news at the door."
The butler sitting in the passenger seat said with a smile, this is the first time in my life that I am riding in a car...??
