Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was furious. He clearly saw Liang Jiugong, the popular eunuch next to the little emperor, stepping out of the carriage, but he didn't care.
Seeing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s serious face, Eunuch Liang also put away his usual smiling face, trotted up to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) and bowed at 90 degrees.
He said loudly: "Jiu Gong pays homage to the Governor."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Liang, do you know the crime?"
"This... Mr. Xiao Jia, please make it clear..."
"What crime do you deserve for breaking into the Chinese military camp without reporting it?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Jiugong knew that the arrogant little Mr. Jia in front of him was quite dissatisfied with some of the little emperor's recent actions.
This is to take advantage of the popularity of the little emperor’s side!
Eunuch Liang also knew that in this Chinese army camp, the commander was as big as the sky.
Mr. Xiao Jia wants to do something, so we have to cooperate.
Eunuch Liang became more and more respectful, almost burying his head into the ground.
"Your Majesty the Governor, we know our mistakes and are willing to be punished."
"Okay. I will fine you the one that hurts you the most... I will fine you 50,000 taels of silver tattoo."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) looked at Eunuch Liang with a playful look.
This old eunuch who loves money as much as his life has been greedy for money in recent years, but all the money was "scrounged" for the little emperor, and he really didn't miss much of it.
After careful investigation by the "Tianwei Camp", it was found that Eunuch Liang only had two houses in the suburbs of the capital and about 100 acres of irrigated land in the outer suburbs.
He only had about 50,000 taels of silver deposited in more than a dozen banks, which was really not much for the famous Eunuch Liang.
Eunuch Liang has experienced two dynasties and has seen many desolate lives of old and frail eunuchs who were kicked out of the palace. Being greedy is a fear of their future life in old age.
Because of fear, we are greedy.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) shook Eunuch Liang to his core with just one sentence.
Eunuch Liang's body only trembled twice, but he was not surprised, because a deputy commander of the "Tianwei Camp" who was in charge of "fine work" in the world didn't know something, and it was really unreasonable.
Fifty thousand taels of silver, this little Mr. Jia will cost you your life.
This is heading straight for Eunuch Liang’s family.
There was no joke in the army. Eunuch Liang kept shouting that he was wronged, crying and wiping his tears, all the snot and saliva came out of his nose.
"Grandma, this is a natural actor. If it were in future generations, it would be a pity not to be the best actor... It's a bit too much, and he actually hugged the thigh..."
Baoyu (Ranxiao) helped Eunuch Liang up while cursing.
Seeing Eunuch Liang's face turned black, Bao Yun (Ran Xiaoshi) laughed happily.
This scene is over. It would be bad for no one if it continued.
Asking Mingyan and others to trap the Japanese troops, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) led Eunuch Liang and his party into the Chinese military tent.
As soon as he entered the Chinese army's tent, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) very skillfully gave Eunuch Liang two rolls of silver notes, one large and one small.
The big ones were for Eunuch Liang to take back and "hand over" to the public, while the smaller ones were left for Eunuch Liang himself.
Eunuch Liang probably counted the small roll, which was ten thousand taels a piece, and there were about ten of them. It seemed that he had really made a profit this time.
"It scares our family to death...50,000 taels, doesn't Mr. Xiao Jia want our family to kill him? It's okay..."
"Young father-in-law, you are here to pretend to be poor. As long as you say a word, there will be a flood of people in the world who want to give you money, and there will be a flood of money who want to give you..."
"Don't worry, our family doesn't dare to collect money randomly. We are afraid that we have the life to collect it, but we don't have the life to spend it. Now we don't even dare to accept the money from Mr. Jia lightly..."
Eunuch Liang touched the banknote in his arms and felt a little emotional.
"If that's the case, then just return the banknote I just gave you... I took it back and tore it up, and you can still hear a sound."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liang held the banknotes in his arms tightly and cursed with a smile: "Young man, just make our family angry... Forget it this time, that's it. It won't be the same next time. In fact, our family has saved all this money."
It’s not just for our family, our family wants to save some money for our old and frail father-in-law and make a living, so as not to have no money when he gets older..."
Seeing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) looking at him with strange eyes, Eunuch Liang continued, "Xiao Jia, please don't think that the father-in-laws are surrounded by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. There are many people supporting them, and they can make money quickly... famous people are also
There are only a few of them, and ninety-nine percent of the father-in-laws are living miserable lives..."
Hearing this, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) couldn't help but admire him and bowed deeply.
"There are many people in the world who need to be taken care of. Many of them are just talking about it. Only Eunuch Liang can do his best to take care of those who can be taken care of."
...I would like to have Eunuch Liang set up a pension fund association, and Eunuch Liang will be the president of the association to provide assistance to the needy elderly people all over the world.
...I allocate five hundred thousand taels every year..."
Hearing this, Eunuch Liang made a long bow to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi).
After talking about "private matters", let's talk about official matters.
After Eunuch Liang issued the imperial edict, he saw the sorrow and resentment on Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s face and said with a smile: "Master Xiaojia, is there anything you don't agree with?"
"What can I say? The soldiers in the front are fighting and shedding blood, and the rear is making deals with us. This is what a bastard is!"
"Let me ask you... why are we fighting, to kill a few people? Fighting over and over again is not about territory and profit... Now the Japanese princess is willing to give half of their territory to our emperor, why not?
"
This made Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) think of the Middle East wars in later generations. They fought over and over again, but in the end they only fought for oil and profits.
War has always been linked to interests. There has never been a war without interests and purely for fun.
Okay, that's it. Forgive Kangxi's son.
After talking about "public affairs", let's talk about "private affairs" in "private affairs".
Eunuch Liang said in a low voice: "Your brother Jia Huan has been very active in the west recently. The stone lacquer business is very prosperous. Mr. Jia knows people well and makes good use of them... The emperor is planning to marry the third girl..."
"Which third girl?"
"How many third girls are there in your family? Isn't it Miss Tanchun..."
"Ah? Which part of this story is this?"
"It's not your fault. Mr. Xiao Jia has trained the third girl into a talented woman who can run the world. Do you think the emperor can't be tempted?"
"I firmly disagree! What is this? I, a member of the Jia family, have no connection with the royal family from now on."
"We would like to ask you, where are you from? The emperor is also preparing to issue an edict..."
(Why Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) didn’t agree to Tanchun’s entry into the palace, please see the breakdown in the next round.)
