Chapter 347 Some people are happy and others are worried
For the people under Li Changfeng, he is a godlike existence. If he dares to blaspheme, he will never have a good ending.
The dependent, who was like a wolf and a tiger, rushed down quickly and executed Li Changfeng's orders beyond the specifications, directly knocking Wang's representative into a comminuted fracture. He would never stand up in his life.
If you get beaten, you can't lose a single piece of money you should pay.
The strength Li Changfeng showed shocked everyone.
All the eight major families, which have always been in harmony, chose to remain silent, and no one stood up to speak.
The Wang family representative's voice of pain and wailing can be heard clearly across several streets.
Not long after returning home, the accounts were handed over to Li Changfeng.
In this auction, a total of 23.46 million taels of silver were obtained.
Li Changfeng left his own share, four hundred, sixty-ninety-two thousand taels, sent someone to send the same amount of silver to Emperor Gan Wu, and the remaining 1,407,600 taels to the Ministry of Revenue.
Although Emperor Gan Wu did not come to the auction site today, he had been waiting for news in the imperial study room.
According to Li Changfeng, Yizheng's shares can be sold at least 2.5 million taels, which is also a huge sum of money for him. After all, there are so many people in the palace to support him, and he is under great pressure.
Soon, Gao Dali came to the Imperial Study room with a cheerful little step, his face full of smiles, and he started shouting as soon as he entered the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has sent the silver, and it's a total of 4.692,000 taels!"
"What?!"
Hearing this number, even Emperor Gan Wu, who had always been calm, couldn't help but exclaim and stood up in a flash.
"How much did you say?"
He was a little unbelievable.
Gao Dali repeated: "Four,692,000 taels! Your Majesty, you heard it right!"
After confirmation, Emperor Gan Wu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that I really didn't expect that I sold so much money, I couldn't imagine it!"
"Yes, I didn't expect it. At first, I thought I had heard it wrong, but this is true! Your Highness has never disappointed me in his work!"
"That's right, you don't even see whose son it is!"
Emperor Gan Wu laughed loudly, his face full of joy.
More than four million taels are enough to make him live a more luxurious life, and he will not be hindered if he wants to do anything in the future.
After a long time of joy, Emperor Gan Wu gradually returned to peace, his eyes flashed, and he said, "These ministers of my country are much richer than me."
He was a little angry.
The powerful and wealthy people who work hard are so rich, but most of the people are suffering from difficulties, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too big.
Gao Dali understood what he meant, his smile was restrained, and his tone was indifferent: "According to the news coming from the scene, all the shares were bought by people from the eight major families, and no one in the court and other powerful people in the capital had bought them."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Gan Wu's face became as cold as frost.
"Which aristocratic families bought it and how many did they buy it?"
"The Wang family bought the most and bid the most..."
Gao Dali reported in detail about the situation at the scene.
The more Emperor Gan Wu heard, his face became more gloomy, and finally a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"The eight major families have sucked blood for hundreds or thousands of years, and they are really rich!"
Gao Dali nodded: "It is indeed wealthy enough to rival a country, but your highness intends to harvest them, and sooner or later he will have to spit it out!"
Emperor Gan Wu carried his hands on his back and said in a cold tone: "Then let them live first and clean up slowly!"
...
Chen Dingyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not participate in the auction this time.
It’s not that I don’t have money, it’s not that I don’t want to, but that I don’t dare.
He expected that Li Changfeng would definitely trade shares to a very high price. As the one in charge of the big money and grain, it would be very troublesome if he really participated in the auction.
Maybe if the political enemy is good, he will be labeled as greedy. Although he is not afraid of investigation, he is also disgusting, right?
If someone designs to frame it, wouldn’t the career of the officialdom come to an end?
He did not expect to obtain shares of the Ministry of Railways.
The only thing he thought about now was that Li Changfeng could auction more money to the Ministry of Revenue to relieve his pressure and see the rise of great efforts in his lifetime.
He had already drunk nine pots of tea in the Ministry of Revenue and went to eleven thatched cottages. He was waiting for the auction to be over and Li Changfeng brought the money.
Finally, when his subordinates brought the tenth pot of tea, the Minister of Revenue ran in with excitement.
"Sir! Sir! Your Highness has sent the money!"
Chen Dingyuan stood up in a flash: "How many?!"
"One, four hundred, seventy six thousand taels!"
"What? Say it again!"
"It's 1,407,600 taels, sir, you heard it right, that's all!"
"Oh my God!"
Chen Dingyuan collapsed on the chair, looking dazed.
He originally thought that he could raise more than 7 million taels, but he didn't expect it to double.
After being the Minister of Revenue for so many years, the treasury has never been so abundant.
Your Highness the Ninth Prince is really a god!
...
Some people are happy and some are sad.
Those powerful and wealthy businessmen in the capital who went with hope but returned empty-handed hated the eight major families.
"Excessive, the eight major families are really too much. They eat meat and don't even keep any soup for others!"
"The eating habits are so ugly. Cancers like the eight major families should be eradicated!"
"Now we have guns and cannons, so we should take the opportunity to destroy the eight major families!"
“…”
For a time, there were voices of condemning the eight major families everywhere.
The toughness they showed in the auction and the huge wealth they possessed made everyone angry and jealous.
But the eight major families do not care about this.
They have experienced many of this situations for hundreds or thousands of years.
The only thing they were worried about was Li Changfeng.
They understand Emperor Ganwu, who has always sought stability and will not easily break up.
But Li Changfeng is different. He is a fierce man who dares to drive an iron-armored warship to ask for accounts at a country.
Fortunately, Li Changfeng didn't make any moves next, which made them feel relieved.
Regarding this matter, Li Changfeng focused on the site selection work of the hydropower station, and delivered geological exploration reports and hydrological geography reports to his desk.
At the same time, he also has to focus on the test and manufacturing of generators, and his life is fulfilling.
In a blink of an eye, it is the twelfth lunar month.
Even if you work hard, you have to celebrate the Spring Festival.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Li Changfeng did not celebrate the New Year in the capital because of the southern expedition.
In addition, Li Changfeng had been in Baishi City for ten years before, so Emperor Ganwu had not celebrated the New Year with Li Changfeng for a total of eleven years.
So this year Emperor Gan Wu attached great importance to it and made people prepare early.
Unlike last year, Emperor Ganwu now has a richer treasury, and he is so generous when spending money. He chooses everything he wants to buy.
For Li Changfeng, doing the New Year has no meaning at all, it is nothing more than eating and drinking.
In order to come up with some new tricks, he went to the scientific research institute.
