"Mr. Dongzhu, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and give your treasure to Ming Xiang. []" Gao Shiqi chuckled and asked Zhao Qiang to take out the Dong Zhu he brought. When he said this, Ming Zhu would also understand.
, smiled and called a few officials around him, and said to them: "Don't you always say that you have never seen any good things? Today I will open your eyes."
"What good thing can make Ming Xiang so important?" Yu Guozhu, a member of Mingzhu's party and the left deputy censor, heard this and walked over with a smile.
"Ming Xiang said it's a good thing, so it must be a good thing. Come on, let's go together so that we can open our eyes."
The officials sitting in the hall, including Fulun, the Minister of Household Affairs, Ge Sitai, the Minister of Punishments, Keerkun, the Minister of Personnel, Fu Lata, the minister, Xi Zhu, the commander of the infantry, Le Dehong, Li Zhifang, the great scholar, also gathered around.
In addition, those whose official positions are not as good as these are also hanging around the periphery, trying to figure out what good things they can do to open everyone's eyes.
Nalan Xingde also stood beside Amma with a smile and said nothing, looking at Zhao Qiang with great interest. If Zhao Qiang knew that the young man in brocade clothes opposite him was Nalan Rongruo, a famous poet in the Qing Dynasty, he would probably feel sad, but now he
I didn’t have so many thoughts, I just quickly took off the bag containing Dongzhu from my waist, then presented it to Mingzhu very respectfully, and said: "There are no good things that can penetrate the wild people outside Xiaguan."
As the Prime Minister and all your lords have said, these East Pearls were taken out of the river by the little people who risked their lives. Please take a look at them."
"Dongzhu!" The officials nearby were shocked. Thinking about the rumors in the past few days that Sauron Manzi was carrying more than a dozen Dongzhu, he couldn't help but think that Sauron Manzi was the person in front of him. Some officials were
He sighed, thinking that it was over now, the bead fell into the hands of Prime Minister Ming, and no one else could get their hands on it. What a pity, what a pity... Some people were thinking that it was said that Prince Li's Mansion had already released the news.
I want to take all these beads, but now the beads are intercepted by Mingzhu. I don’t know how Prince Li will react.
"Xingde, how good are your pearls?" Mingzhu took out a transparent and round Dongzhu from the cloth bag and turned it to his son. "Xingde" was his nickname for his son.
Nalan Rongruo took the bead from Amma's hand, looked at it carefully, raised his head and said with a smile: "Good beads, not inferior to Da Nei's." Then asked Zhao Qiang: "This bag is filled with beads of this size.
What?"
Zhao Qiang replied honestly: "Yes, they are all the same size, and they are not the same."
"You tell me a price." Nalan Rongruo took the cloth bag from his father again, weighed it in his hand, and looked at the somewhat "uneasy" Zhao Qiang with a smile.
"I don't dare to raise a price. If the Prime Minister and the Young Master can see it, I don't want a penny. I am willing to give it all to the Prime Minister and the Young Master." Zhao Qiang pretended to be fat, but he knew that Mingzhu could not be really shameless.
Just accept it, this is not his character.
After listening to Zhao Qiang's words, Mingzhu laughed "haha" and said to Gao Shiqi: "Danren, if the truth is that he takes people's things without giving them money, will you still bring him here?"
Danren is Gao Shiqi's cousin, and he also has the nickname "Jiangcun". After hearing Mingzhu's words, he smiled, shook his head and said two words: "No."
After hearing this, Mingzhu also smiled and said to Zhao Qiang: "Mi Qing, these beads are not easy to come by. Your people paid for them with their lives. How can you not ask for money... In this way, I will count your tattoo silver for these beads as thirty thousand taels, and your other
The goods are also discounted by 20,000 taels, and they will all be delivered to my house tomorrow. How are you doing?"
There are nine Dongzhu in the bag, and each one is worth more than 3,000 taels. This price is quite reasonable. In addition, although those old ginseng and mink skins are precious, they cannot be sold for more than 20,000 taels in the market. Now
Mingzhu calculated a total of 50,000 taels of silver, probably not to give himself face, but to give face to Gao Shiqi. He was really extravagant, and this also revealed his huge wealth and huge corruption.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Zhao Qiang knelt down very wisely. He was unwilling to do so in this situation, but he could only kneel down and thank him. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect and ignorance.
The surrounding officials were shocked by Ming Xiang's generosity. They were envious of Dong Dongzhu who got so much money from Ming Xiang. A few of them were jealous that Zhao Qiang, the Sauron barbarian, got so much money at once and looked at him.
Revealing jealousy.
"The Prime Minister has obtained these treasures, but I am envious of them." University scholar Li Zhifang joked with a smile.
Fulun, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, also looked envious: "These beads are set in court clothes, but they are very elegant. I think some people will die of slander." Some of the people he mentioned were not the enemies of Mingzhu.
After hearing his words, everyone smiled heartily, and Mingzhu also chuckled lightly, but could not respond to his words, as that would be too petty.
The infantry commander Xi Zhu said to Zhao Qiang half-jokingly: "Your current net worth is much richer than mine. I have to beat you Mi Qing's autumn wind. Don't be so scared that you run back outside the pass, haha."
."
Zhao Qiang said hurriedly: "If you give me a favor, it will be too late for me to be happy. How can I leave?"
"He is indeed a good man." Fu Lata, the assistant minister, praised Zhao Qiang.
Things have been bought, Gao Shiqi's face has been sold, and the next question is whether Mi Qing can be used, so Mingzhu said to Zhao Qiang: "Just wait outside, I will have something to say to you later."
"Yes, Prime Minister." Zhao Qiang nodded and responded. He glanced at Gao Shiqi and saw that he blinked at him. He didn't understand what he meant. Mingzhu would have something to ask him for later, so he felt a little confused.
Mingzhu called out again: "Come here, take Mi Qing to the outer courtyard to have some food and wine."
"twitter!"
Immediately, a servant came in and took Zhao Qiang out. After he went out, Mingzhu bowed her hands to all the officials in the hall: "Everyone, sit down for a moment. I will go inside to toast some princes."
Ge Sitai, the Minister of Punishment, said hurriedly: "It's easy to say, Prime Minister, it's up to you, the Prince is more important." Gao Shiqi, Li Zhifang and others also hurriedly invited Mingzhu to go to the inner hall. They didn't need to pay attention to them, while Fulun and others invited each other.
The invitation to drink began. Upon seeing this, Mingzhu took Nalan Rongruo to the main table in the back hall with a wine glass in hand.
The main table is located at the innermost part of the main hall, juxtaposed with the secondary tables. Two screens separate the primary and secondary tables from the tables outside, showing that the identities of the guests sitting inside are unusual. In fact, the identities of the guests at these two tables are indeed distinguished.
Very well, he was either a prince or a county prince, and the worst one was a Baylor. They were all members of the Qing Dynasty's clan, and any one of them would be shocked if he stomped his feet. However, after the peace of the Three Feudatories, Mingzhu's power became more and more powerful.
, the officials attached to the party are also spread across six ministries and nine ministers. It can be said that one party is dominant and has overwhelming power. Prince Baylor has a noble status, but the power in his hand cannot keep up with the pearl of real power. Many things have to rely on the pearl.
Therefore, Mingzhu celebrated the birthday of his son Nalan Rongruo this time, and the Aixinjueluo family actually came to have a lot of princes and princes. No matter how respected these people were, they all lowered their status a little in front of Mingzhu, Kangxi's most favored minister.
