These "rich businessmen" invested as much as ten million taels of silver, which was all money from the little emperor's "little treasury".
The reason why Mr. Nalan dared to readily agree to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s "unreasonable" request was because before leaving, the emperor specifically told him, "You can lose money, but you can't lose people. Only with people can I have a country."
"
It was as if the emperor knew that he would definitely lose this round.
Nalan Xingde was very surprised about the relationship between the emperor and Mr. Xiao Jia.
It seems that both of them know each other very well... It can even be said that they are each other's shadow... But now it seems that they are not satisfied with the shadow... In short, it's weird.
A large bloody hole was made in the thighs of more than twenty people, and the "rich businessman" who was bleeding profusely was carried away. Even if he was rescued, his martial arts skills were almost useless.
The lobby was still filled with the unpleasant smell of blood, which made people sick to smell it.
Nalan Xingde respectfully picked up the imperial edict from the hand of the eunuch beside him and read out: "By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict... Jia's Baoyu has made great achievements in suppressing bandits in the Northeast, and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and was granted the title of Crown Prince and Taibao.........
To take over the post of governor of the Northeast... imperial decree."
It was just a title of Minister of the Ministry of War. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a false title and useless, because there was a "Military and Administrative Office" set up by the young emperor, and all military and political decisions were made by it. The Minister of the Ministry of War was also among them, but he was almost reduced to a handyman.
Moreover, the credit and benefits gained from winning the battle belong to the "big guys", but the Minister of War takes the blame when losing.
This is a sad title.
From Nalan Xingde's half-smiling eyes, we can see how much of a bastard this minister of the Ministry of War is.
However, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) doesn't think so.
As for the Minister of War, let’s see who becomes the Minister.
I just changed it from "Secretary" to "Secretary-General", isn't that enough?
Then there is the "secret decree".
The secret decree is in plain language, "I will leave the Northeast to you, and I will help you with another ten million taels of silver. From the moment I see this decree, the Northeast is not allowed to transfer a pound of grain from the customs, and this year's grain production must increase by 50%."
, You cannot ask for a grain of grain from the pass within three years. After three years, the total of 25 million taels of silver that I have invested will be quadrupled. This is all I ask for, you can do it as you see fit!"
This is a bit bullying.
Are you committing loan sharking, or are you treating me like the "stock god" Buffett?
Mr. Nalan's mouth almost stretched to the sky.
Grandma, you are a bear. If you want to see my jokes, just laugh out loud. What do you mean by holding back?
"Master Xiao Jia, three years is a long time, but it is also very short. It will be gone in just three years..."
"Oh oh... the matter of money is not a big deal. It's just that we are not allowed to ask for a grain of grain from the pass, which is a bit excessive. Now is the critical moment when there is no supply... oh oh... after the imperial edict is issued, you are no longer an imperial envoy
Minister, let’s make a hot pot and have two glasses of it later..."
"Grain production must also be stepped up. It is also a big deal to increase the output by 50% this year." Mr. Nalan's face could hardly stand up.
"Yes, this is indeed a big event... Look at the emperor's secret decree... Rong Ruo, you know, I am an expert in fighting wars and doing business, and I know a little bit about growing crops, but in agriculture,
It's still a bit worse... Mr. Nalan, you know and have read these contents, it seems that I have begun to fall out of favor in front of the emperor..."
"No, Mr. Xiao Jia is still as graceful as heaven..."
"Is this really the emperor's secret decree for me?"
"Of course it is, it must be."
With a "pop" sound, Nalan Xingde's nose blossomed, causing his nose to bleed, snot, and tears to flow out.
"You, you... why are you hitting me?"
"The one I'm going to hit is you, grandma, on the leg."
"Why...beat...people?" Nalan Xingde originally wanted to say, "Why should I beat the imperial envoy?", but this scoundrel and insidious "villain" had already stopped him with his words in advance.
"You're the one I'm beating!"
"Why?"
"This is the emperor's secret decree for me. Why do you know everything? Did you take a peek?"
"Peeping" is a serious crime. Nalan Xingde did not dare to admit it, so he quickly explained: "Master Xiao Jia, I wrote this according to the decree."
"You deserve to be beaten even more. It must be you who provoked the emperor."
It seemed that there was no way to escape this beating.
This guy never strikes lightly or harshly, he hits people at every turn, and he doesn't look like a scholar at all.
Seeing that Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was about to take action again, Nalan Xingde raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute! The emperor also specially ordered me to be the inspector of the Northeast. We will have a long time working together in the future."
"Bang" was another punch, and Nalan Xingde received a blow on his forehead, which immediately caused a big swelling.
"It seems like you're done with this beating. Everyone hates the inspector, and I hate him even more. Anyway, since you'll make me hate you in the future, I'll give you a good beating first to vent my anger."
While saying Baoyu (burning small stone), he greeted and beat him.
It was a tough move, he seemed really angry.
What was even more depressing was Nalan Xingde. When he set out from the capital, the emperor rewarded him with soft gold silk armor made by Ouchi and told him to wear it at all times. He might be beaten in the northeast... How did the emperor know?
What's even worse is that Mr. Jia, how did he know that I was wearing soft armor? He hit his face, hands and feet with his fists without touching the soft armor at all.
Everyone in the lobby was dumbfounded again!
How weird, Mr. Nalan was beaten by Mr. Xiao Jia?
Is it possible for two literary men to fight so fiercely?
Mr. Nalan's personal entourage and bodyguards were held aside by Ming Yan and the others. Even if they wanted to save him with death, they could not move.
Seeing my young master being beaten so badly before his eyes, he almost looked like a human being.
After the fight, he withdrew his troops and returned to the backyard, cursing as he walked, "I can't relieve the anger and hatred in my heart without beating you up. There are no bullies like you. If a tiger doesn't show off its power, you really treat me like a sick cat."
"
Mr. Nalan didn't fight back just now. Could it be that Master Xiao Jia was really wronged?
It should be. Many people think so.
Looking at the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Nalan Xingde felt the pain in his heart. He was really a mute eating Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't express the pain.
This is the only way to treat an imperial envoy like this!
He is the only one who treats the Inspector like this!
Seeing that Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was about to turn around the shadow wall, Nalan Xingde shouted: "Master Xiaojia, wait a minute!"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) turned around, still angry, "Why...isn't it enough?"
"Master Xiao Jia, whether it is an announced decree or a secret decree, it is the emperor's decree, and it must be carried out as usual. As an inspector, I have the emperor's order, and I dare not neglect my duties at all...
From this moment on, not a single grain of food in the customs can leave the customs!"
"You..." Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was furious and walked back to the backyard angrily.
