Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Storm at the Court of Immortal Love
The lone wolf soldier sent word that the Su family had moved to Jincheng and everything was going well...
The uneasiness that had been lingering in his mind for many days was completely dissipated, and the biggest threat was eliminated. Su Shuang decided to give it a try. The task Jia Rong gave him was arduous, but Su Shuang was confident that he could complete it. Just rely on what Jia Rong gave him.
rights.
Anyone would be moved by Xianlian Pavilion's 30% profit. He was confident that he could handle these things with 20% profit. No one really knew what the profit of Xianlian Pavilion was, and Su Shuang was no exception.
, he only knew a lot. Emperor Han received 20% of Luoyang Xianlian Pavilion every month. Even the 20% was repeatedly withheld, and the data on the surface was largely false.
No one can imagine that Xianlian Pavilion's profits are calculated in hundreds of percent, nor can they.
As the political and cultural center of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang's consumption level is not as high as usual. As a result, Xianlian Pavilion in Luoyang has the largest sales volume, with monthly sales reaching about 150,000 guan. Of course, some secret
Transactions are not counted.
The Xianlian Pavilion has been open in Luoyang for so long, so it is impossible to survive under the majesty of the Han Emperor. When necessary, it still provides some benefits to the family, such as selling some Xianlian to them at a low price to let them feel the Xianlian.
The sincerity of the pavilion.
These data were made public to the Han Emperor. In front of the Han Emperor and Zhang Rang, after excluding the cost and transportation fees, as well as the consumption of the shop assistants, even the consumption of the fifty imperial guards sent by the Han Emperor was included. In the end, it was embarrassing.
There are 50,000 coins left. Of course, these data are definitely not true, it is just an act to please the Han Emperor.
Despite having a headache, Emperor Han happily accepted the ten thousand guan, and then gave Su Shuang a burst of encouragement.
The monthly wages of the Imperial Guardsmen sent by the Han Emperor to Xianlian Pavilion had risen to five guans. After learning this news, the Han Emperor forcefully gave 100 people to Xianlian Pavilion, and each person still paid the five guan salary.
However, the actual income of these soldiers was two guans. The remaining three guans were left behind by the Han Emperor. The soldiers of the Yulin Army did not complain after knowing this. There were many soldiers who were eager to be sent to Xianlian Pavilion. Before
The fifty soldiers of the Han Dynasty consciously turned in three guan every month. In this way, the Han Emperor could earn an additional 450 guan in a month.
Looking at Su Shuang, Emperor Han felt that the unhappiness he had felt for many days had dissipated a lot. This was a great God of Wealth. When he thought that this God of Wealth had something to do with Jia Rong, Emperor Han still felt somewhat unhappy.
"Su Shuang, I wonder how the business of Xianlian Pavilion is going lately?" Emperor Han asked.
Su Shuang bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, the business of Luoyang Xianlian Pavilion is as usual. Thank you for your care, Your Majesty!"
After coughing lightly, Emperor Han said calmly: "I didn't expect that the Su family was the master behind Xianlian Pavilion."
Su Shuang said awkwardly: "My father has warned me many times, and ordinary people also have their own difficulties. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Han said "Oh" and said with a smile: "I don't blame you for this!"
Suddenly, Emperor Han's eyes tightened and he asked: "What is the connection between the Su family and Jia Rong? Please explain it!"
Listening to Han Emperor's commanding tone, Su Shuang's heart tightened for no reason. His mind was in a trance under Han Emperor's words, which made Su Shuang unable to resist. Could this be the majesty of the emperor?
Su Shuang calmed himself down and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Back then, my father went to the Xiongnu to sell horses. When passing through Liangzhou, he encountered a horse thief. He was seriously injured by the horse thief and abandoned in the wilderness. Fortunately, Jia Rong's father rescued my father.
In today's Su family, my father has always told us not to forget the life-saving grace of the Jia family. In fact, the common people only knew Jia Rong last year at the Wei family in Hedong."
Emperor Han stared closely at Su Shuang's eyes, as if trying to find some clues, but to no avail for a long time, and sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be such an experience. So, the Su family set up the Xianlian Pavilion in Jincheng to help
Jia Rong is also excusable."
Su Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Han's gaze made Su Shuang feel like a light on his back. After just a moment, his back was already soaked with sweat. "My father is willing to give up 10% of the profits of Xianlian Pavilion."
, donated to the national treasury." Su Shuang threw out the chips.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was moved. The 10% profit of Xianlian Pavilion and the 20% profit of Luoyang Xianlian Pavilion were not at the same level. Luoyang alone had such a profit, let alone the entire Han Dynasty combined.
As the king of a country, Emperor Han paid great attention to his image. He suppressed his inner excitement and said calmly: "The Su family is commendable for their loyalty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment. I hope that the Holy Spirit will not make things too difficult for Jia Rong for the sake of the Su family. It can be considered that my father has fulfilled a wish and repaid Jia Rong's father for rescuing my father." Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Shuang threw out the question.
made his final condition.
Emperor Han thought for a while and agreed. After taking such a big advantage, it would be a bit unkind not to agree to such a trivial matter. Now Jia Rong has resigned from the post of Jincheng Prefect and is just an ordinary commoner. At best, he is just a rich man.
, the influence has been reduced to the minimum. By the time Jia Rong returns to Jincheng again, things may have changed.
Another reason for agreeing so readily is that Jia Rong will not live too long. Even if the Han Emperor lets him go, those aristocratic families will choose to retaliate, especially if Jia Rong puts small shoes on a transcendent aristocratic family like the Yuan family, the consequences can be imagined.
, based on the Han Emperor's understanding of these aristocratic families, revenge will come soon.
"Come here, give me a seat!" Facing his God of Wealth, Emperor Han was still very polite.
After Su Shuang bowed three times, he sat on a small stool brought by Huangmen. He said he was sitting, but in fact, his butt was just touching the edge. No one could still maintain a carefree character in front of the Han Emperor.
"I wonder how much profit Xianlian Pavilion can make in a month?" The Han emperor was most concerned about how much money he could make. Who would leave the treasury empty?
Su Shuang thought for a moment and said: "There are fifty Xianlian Pavilions in the entire Han Dynasty. Those who go out to Luoyang, the remaining Xianlian Pavilions make about 5,000 guan per month, and the total profit is nearly 300,000 guan."
The Han Emperor hissed, "The profit of 300,000 guan is after the cost. It accounts for 10%, which is 30,000 guan. It is enough to buy more than 30,000 dan of grain and grass, which is enough to feed an army of 30,000 people for two months. If you don't know it, you won't know it."
After Chai Migui truly took over all the affairs of the Han Dynasty, the Han Emperor understood how precious food and grass were.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was bent on reviving the Han Dynasty, reduced the expenses of the harem to a minimum, and all the money earned from selling official positions was filled into the national treasury. This was still not enough to cover the expenses, so the state shepherds were given full authority to manage a state and pacify the people in the area.
The rebels said.
Emperor Han felt a little regretful, especially when he heard that Xianlian Pavilion's profits were so huge, he deeply regretted not extorting 300,000 yuan just now. If Emperor Han could earn so much money in one month,
You no longer need to worry about emergency letters every day. If you have enough money, all your problems will be solved.
After chatting with Emperor Han for a while, Su Shuang also regained his previous calmness and clarity. Looking at Emperor Han's changing expressions, Su Shuang understood what he was thinking and said, "The Su family is willing to donate another hundred dollars."
A good horse."
While Emperor Han was happy, he was also a little embarrassed. Isn't this a naked blackmail? In order to cover up his embarrassment, Emperor Han stroked his beard and said, "Well, the Su family is really a loyal family." A good horse is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
, as the Su family is a big horse dealer, the horses donated are naturally not too bad. One horse is worth a thousand gold, and a hundred horses are worth much more.
If the Han emperor knew that the Xiliang army had many war horses, I wonder if he would be happy for Su Shuang's generosity.
"From now on, I will grant Su Shuang the title of doctor to show the loyalty of the Su family."
Su Shuang thanked him. Before he met Jia Rong, Su Shuang might have been so grateful that he had received such a reward and completely sold himself to the Han Emperor. After struggling in Luoyang for so long, he had never seen anything like this.
Naturally, Su Shuang didn't take this reward seriously. The difference was that when he saw the Han emperor in the future, he would be called "Chen" instead of "Caomin".
All in all, Emperor Han felt that he still made a profit, thinking that those ministers in the court who wanted to go further spent much less money than Su Shuang.
In order to show the emperor's great kindness, the Han Emperor increased the number of Su Shuang's guards to 300. If anyone in Luoyang City dared to harm Su Shuang now, the first one to stand up would definitely be the Han Emperor.
Su Shuang used the remaining 10% of the profit to bribe Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong among the ten permanent servants. After accepting Su Shuang's benefits, the other courtiers' favor for Xianlian Pavilion gradually increased.
Being on the cusp of the storm, instead of facing disaster, it became an opportunity for its development.
With this incident, the Xianlian Pavilion expanded again, the number increased to sixty, the strength expanded again, and the Su family became one of the famous families in the Han Dynasty.
Contrary to the high profile of Xianlian Pavilion, Jia Rong is silently preparing to leave. Today's Jincheng is a mixed bag, with all kinds of characters. There are countless eyeliners in Jincheng from major aristocratic families. What's going on with Jia Rong?
, will be spread out as soon as possible, especially during the sensitive period of Jia Rong's resignation, Jia Rong pays attention to his words and deeds all the time.
Jia Rong comforted all his subordinates with his kind words, and Jia Xu was left to continue to manage the Xiliang Army's intelligence network. Zhang Li governed Jincheng with the assistance of Zhang Zhao, and Li Shun and other generals were stationed in various places in Jincheng to protect Jincheng.
In order to protect their safety, the chiefs of each tribe of the Qiang people beat their chests loudly. If a war breaks out, they will gather the strength of the entire clan to help the Jincheng Prefecture.
Under Jia Rong's rule, the Qiang people felt the hope that life brought them.
When Jia Rong resigned, his subordinates became more united than ever before.
Jia Rong originally planned to take a few soldiers to travel around, especially Lijia Village, and it would be nice to go back and take a look at the scenery in various places in the Han Dynasty.
In the Xiliang army, Jia Rong is the well-deserved pillar. It was he who successfully brought the Han and Qiang people together. It can be said that without him, there would be no Jincheng now, let alone this team. It was Jia Rong who successfully brought the Han and Qiang people together.
Rong glued them together.
