After finishing these things, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cleared his throat. Only then did he remember his mission. In addition to inspecting Hengfu Port on behalf of the royal family, he also had to get certain benefits from Gao Shaoyi.
I knew that Gao Shaoyi had eaten a lot this time. If there was no benefit at all, he would have no way to explain to the emperor after he returned.
"Cousin, I have another thing to do here this time. I think my cousin has gained a lot during this period..."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately made a start, but when he said this, Gao Shaoyi immediately stood up, and the Crown Prince stopped what he was saying. A dozen people came in at the door, all carrying big boxes.
"Open it and ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to take a look."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, these people opened five large boxes. All the gold and silver treasures were placed inside. Gao Shaoyi's meaning was also very clear. Either I give the money to the treasury, then I will pay you a dime.
It doesn't matter. If I randomly take out some money and give it to the national treasury, then the money belongs to you. You should know in your heart whether you make money yourself or the country.
"Cousin, what is this?"
His Highness the Crown Prince pretended to be confused, but in fact he already had a choice in his heart. Even if he obtained a large amount of funds for the treasury, what did those funds have to do with him? The five boxes of gold and silver treasures in front of him must be worth at least over a hundred
Ten thousand silver coins, all of that is for myself.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really tired from the journey. We have collected a lot of good things here, but we don't dare to dispose of them at will, so we have to let His Highness the Crown Prince handle them personally."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, the people who brought up the things went out immediately. This also showed His Royal Highness the purpose of coming. These things are specially given to you.
This money sounds like a lot of money. Despite the prince's great reputation in the capital, he can only get eight to nine million silver coins every year. In addition, the expenses are relatively large. In fact, the money left every year is not much.
Being able to get millions of silver coins at once was a big gain for the prince.
"Your Highness, we have reached an agreement with Dongdi State. The large areas of fertile land around Hengfu Port belong to us. We have designated some farms nearby and selected two of the better ones to give to Your Highness."
These lands were obtained from Dong Di State. Gao Shaoyi didn't spend a dime at all, so he didn't feel bad when giving gifts. What's more, after His Royal Highness has these two farms, he can't let these two farms go.
If you are idle here, you will definitely find someone to look after it. It will also be of certain help to the development of Hengfu Port.
Sixty thousand acres...
When His Highness the Crown Prince saw this number, he was very satisfied in his heart. Although the land here is not very fertile and it is located in Dongdi Kingdom, it belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince in name. The annual harvest is not a small number. It can indeed be achieved.
Give it to His Royal Highness as pocket change.
Moreover, the prince can also divide these two large farms into twenty small ones. If he is not willing to take them, he can completely distribute them to the people below. Each person can get several thousand acres of land, as long as he sends a few slaves.
If you take care of it, you can collect a lot of money throughout the year, which is much better than nothing.
"Your Highness, these farms are fully equipped with labor forces, and they are all ordinary people from Dongdi Kingdom. Since they have been defeated, they are our slaves. Your Highness only needs to send a few people to watch over them. They will definitely be there by the end of the year. If something is gained, our Suppression Army will be responsible for all safety issues."
After listening to Gao Shaoyi's words, His Royal Highness the Prince smiled and nodded. You must know that within the Daqian Empire, a lot of land is rented to the common people. Even if you are a landlord, you can only get 20% to 25% of the land every year. Income, but this is different, they can get at least 50% of their income here.
"Thank you so much, cousin. Since you are so enthusiastic, if I don't accept it, it would be a bit out of place. But the emperor has to explain something..."
His Royal Highness looked troubled. According to the emperor's instructions, he had to get at least 30 million silver coins.
Now Gao Shaoyi keeps giving gifts. The prince is also a smart man. How can he not know what Gao Shaoyi means? If he still asks for money according to the amount of 30 million, it would be a bit uninteresting, but if you want a dime If the money is not paid, the court will not be able to explain it.
"I naturally understand this. After the naval base of Dongdi Kingdom was occupied by us, we confiscated a large number of weapons from their marines. How about we give these weapons to the court. The total number is 12 million silver coins. , and then add three million silver coins in cash, I wonder what His Highness the Crown Prince means?"
These weapons and equipment are of no use to Gao Shaoyi at all. If they are shipped back to China for sale, it may take a long time. Moreover, after the last victory over the Rakshasa Empire's army, the warlords in the country have almost eaten. Even if you sell it, it won't bring good results. It's better to pay it directly to the court.
"This method is really good. Many troops in the imperial court are still using broadswords and spears. If we have these weapons, we can immediately replace them with thermal weapons. According to my cousin, in this era In the era of hot weapons, our Daqian Empire really has hope of reviving it."
His Royal Highness the Prince said very happily, he doesn't care what you give him, he only needs to know an exact number. The total of these things is 15 million silver coins, which is enough for him to pay.
On the way here, His Highness the Crown Prince originally wanted to buy a heavy cruiser for himself, but after receiving so much money and women from Gao Shaoyi, even His Highness the Crown Prince himself would feel embarrassed if he asked for another heavy cruiser again.
After finishing these things, Gao Shaoyi and Li Hongtang will no longer stay here. The remaining days will be left to His Highness the Crown Prince to enjoy slowly. Gao Shaoyi has already made an agreement with these ten women, as long as they are not If His Highness is allowed to get out of bed, then your family will be able to survive. If this standard is not met, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
According to Gao Shaoyi's order, these noble ladies of Dongdi Kingdom will definitely use all their strength to never let His Highness get out of bed in these days. This is related to the lives of their whole family...
