Wu Zhongxian smiled and said: "Oh, are you talking about my wife?"
"My wife is the biological sister of the Ming Dynasty's imperial concubine Li Guifei... and the legitimate daughter of the head of the Li family in Hejian Mansion."
When talking to people, always give half truths and half lies.
Wu Zhongxian didn't tell all the lies, and he already gave Chen Yi a lot of face.
In this sentence, at least four-fifths of it is true, which means he added a few false words.
Therefore, what Wu Zhongxian said was justified and he did not feel guilty at all.
Because, most of what he said is true.
"Ah sneeze..."
(ΩДΩ)……
Concubine Li, who was far away in the Daming Palace, was sitting by the water and sighing.
I don’t know if that person will miss me? I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet again and relive old dreams in this life.
That was her first man! He is also her only man now.
Having had such close contact, such...well, quite sweet memories, how could she not miss him?
Hey, that damn ghost left as soon as he said he was going to leave, and now he didn't even send her a message.
Man! How heartless afterwards!
In Concubine Li's eyes, the ripples in the water suddenly distorted, and a face that was both good and evil appeared. She was looking at it with resentment and contemplation when she suddenly sneezed.
She looked at the weather in confusion. It wasn't too cold now. How could she sneeze?
Could it be that this guy is also thinking about himself?
Concubine Li rolled her eyes and suddenly had an exciting and bold idea in her heart.
Wu Zhongxian also didn't expect that he mentioned it casually, and Concubine Li sneezed when he mentioned it, but it triggered an unexpected consequence.
Just like a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, it flapped its wings a few times and soon caused a tornado in Texas.81Zw.????m
Hejian Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty was the richest place, and the Li family in Hejian Prefecture was the richest among them. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as rich as the enemy.
The average annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was more than 40 million taels of silver, but the annual transaction income of the Li family in Hejian Prefecture was nearly 30 million taels. Of course, this can be found out on the surface, and there is still much that has not been disclosed privately.
It's hard to say about taxes.
On the surface, the income of the Li family of Hejian Prefecture is not as large as the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, but the expenditures of the two are not at the same level.
The Ming court had more than 40 million taels of silver, which was enough to support the expenses of an entire country.
We spent a lot of time raising troops, providing disaster relief, building infrastructure, providing money, etc. We could hardly make ends meet.
Even if there is a natural or man-made disaster, money will have to be moved around to fill the holes.
Here, there are still many corrupt officials who are embezzling more than four thousand taels of silver.
As for the income of the Li family in Hejian Prefecture, which is more than 30 million taels, it is a clear net income.
This income is among the best not only in Damingfu, but also in other countries.
This is also the reason why Chen Yi discussed with King Chen Liu to keep Wu Zhongxian after getting his information.
When Chen Yi heard Wu Zhongxian's words, he nodded, knowing in his heart that it was indeed the case, just as he had guessed.
If he hadn't been the husband-in-law of his legitimate daughter, it would have been impossible for him to go to such great lengths to achieve a romantic affair overnight.
What does King Chen Liu lack most at the moment? Of course, he lacks money the most.
But Wu Zhongxian came from one of the richest families, and he had what King Chenliu needed.
Otherwise, with King Chen Liu's domineering character, Wu Zhongxian would never be retained.
Originally, Chen Yi was still waiting for the confirmation from the Ming Dynasty spies. It couldn't be said that Wu Zhongxian belonged to the Li family of Hejian Prefecture, so he was, right? He had to go and investigate and make sure.
After all, what King Chen Liu does is not simple, and he can't just recruit allies just because he is short of money, right?
However, yesterday Wu Zhongxian paid one million taels of gold to take a picture of a brothel girl's coming out night.
This made King Chen Liu directly believe in Wu Zhongxian's background of the Li family in Hejian Prefecture.
One million taels of gold is equal to ten million taels of silver. If you include the premium, there are about fifteen hundred taels of silver.
One thousand five hundred taels of silver! It’s equivalent to a quarter of Ming Dynasty’s annual income.
Such a huge sum of money, just for a brothel woman?
And not only once in a lifetime, but once in a lifetime, such luxury and prodigality cannot be sustained by a plutocratic family like the Li family in Hejian Prefecture.
When King Chenliu heard the news last night, he was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand.
He was heartbroken, how could there be such a prodigal son?
One million taels of gold! It was enough to support his army for several months of fighting.
Just like that...gave it to a famous prostitute in a brothel?
How nice to give it to him! Why not give him the money?
If you give it to him, won't he be able to solve his urgent need?
King Chen Liu is so jealous! He is so bitter! He really wants to grab it by force.
"Mr. Wu, in front is my prince's study."
Chen Yi reminded: "Although my prince has a bad temper, he is definitely an open-minded and generous person. If the prince says anything later that makes Mr. Wu uncomfortable, it will definitely be unintentional."
"Chen is here to apologize to Mr. Wu on behalf of the prince in advance. Mr. Wu, please bear with me."
Saying that, Chen Yi bowed his hands to Wu Zhongxian.
Alas, it is so difficult to be a counselor!
Chen Yi knew the temperament of King Chenliu, and was afraid that there would be an unpleasant incident, in which case the military expenses would really be lost.
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Wu Zhongxian smiled and said: "I am also an outspoken person. I don't know how to beat around the bush. If I say something later that makes your prince angry, I hope Mr. Chen can explain a few words to me."
To be honest, with Wu Zhongxian's current strength and two land gods escorting him, even if he meets King Chenliu, he is really not inferior to him.
The lower class is about hierarchy, the middle class is about connections, and the upper class is about strength.
Wu Zhongxian had the confidence to save his life, and he had the confidence to make a decision with King Chen Liu to file the case.
The worst thing is, he can just run away! King Chenliu can take revenge on whomever he likes, but it is impossible for him to take revenge on him anyway.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wu is here..."
Chen Yi led Wu Zhongxian into the study and introduced him to a man in his thirties wearing a python robe.
The man standing in front of the bookshelf with his back to the door heard the movement, slowly put down the book in his hand, turned around and looked at Wu Zhongxian.
The two of them looked at each other, and one looked at the pretty face with red lips and white teeth at the door.
One was looking at "Zhang Fei" who was dressed in a python robe, had broad eyebrows, and tiger-like eyes. He looked like he had a bad temper and was domineering.
He looks quite handsome!
King Chen Liu's first impression of Wu Zhongxian was quite good.
"Your Majesty..."
Wu Zhongxian thought for a while and decided to give King Chen Liu some face for the sake of the development of Xichang, and took the initiative to say hello with a cupped hand.
After all, King Chenliu was quite powerful in Da Qin. If Wu Zhongxian wanted to develop the West Factory, he could save a lot of trouble with the help of King Chenliu's strong background, and he might even be able to plant his flag in key places.
