Prince Rui was dumbfounded, "That's good, I'll just keep you silent."
However, I can't help but wonder in my heart, now that my uncle's people are running around in the capital, if they are asking people to pick up treasures here with great fanfare, how can they not know?
Prince Rui was right to worry, because the day after the investigation, before Lao Ming sent anyone there, a group of men in black went over there, and everyone was carrying a hoe.
He has the energy to move mountains.
After Lao Ming learned about it, he was furious to death. Who couldn't pick up the treasure that was born underground?
Moreover, Prince Anfeng specially brought Master Hu to Meizhuang, saying that he would do some official business on a nearby hilltop, so in the next month, there might be some noises that would disturb Meizhuang and make him pay more attention.
be magnanimous.
Lao Ming's lungs were about to explode, but it was difficult to snatch his "official duties". After all, he actually came from the original Prince Su's Mansion, or he was the eldest son of Master Hui Zong. He wanted to take back those
Baby, that's right.
Prince Anfeng took Master Hu around the Meizhuang, giving thumbs up and praising it, saying that Meizhuang was getting better and better under his repairs.
Lao Ming couldn't help it and replied, "Uncle, if you can't bear to part with it, just buy it back."
Prince Anfeng said kindly: "Look at you silly boy, what silly things are you saying?
How can uncle win someone's love?"
Lao Ming was almost sent away by these words that equated to shamelessness. He was stunned for a long time before he could recover. He took a deep breath hard, straightened his neck, and said with difficulty: "Uncle, if there is nothing else, just go and do your official business."
Prince Anfeng smiled and said: "Yes, I have something to discuss with you."
Lao Ming endured his depression and said, "Say it!"
Prince Anfeng said: "It's like this. I live in Prince Su's Mansion now, and the people I send out on errands also live in Prince Su's Mansion. I'm doing errands here during the day. It's not good to rush back every meal. Eating solid food is bad for the body."
It's not good, after all, we are old, so I want to discuss with you. This will be a month in the future, and we will have food in Meizhuang first. Don't worry, they won't eat much, and the style doesn't need to be complicated, just steamed buns or rice.
"
Lao Ming's head was buzzing. He cheated him out of a million taels, robbed him of his "official duties", and now he is still asking him to provide food?
This is simply unbearable! He stood up, furious, and was about to refute when he saw Prince Anfeng put his hand on his shoulder and said sincerely: "After the official business is done, I will give you 50%."
His anger dissipated, Lao Ming immediately turned his anger into a smile, "Look at how polite your uncle and nephew are, okay, don't worry. Not to mention steamed buns and rice, even if you eat meat every meal, my nephew will take care of it."
He immediately shouted, "Come here, the four treasures of the study will serve you!"
Prince Anfeng was puzzled, "What are the four treasures of the study?"
"Set written evidence as evidence!"
Lao Ming said with a smile.
"Don't you believe me?"
Prince Anfeng looked at him with hurt eyes.
"Believe it, of course you believe it, but if there is no evidence of dispute, it won't hurt your feelings!"
Lao Ming has a nice smile, but secretly he bites his teeth hard. Why don't you pay back your money hard?
Prince Anfeng shrugged, "Since you insist, let's do it."
The four treasures of the study were immediately brought up. Prince Anfeng wrote a written document with a stroke of his pen, giving half of the gold, silver and jewelry he obtained from the mountain to Lao Ming. Lao Ming would provide three meals a day and support with tools when necessary. The written document was written in duplicate.
Each person took one portion.
Lao Ming was relieved when he saw the black and white writing on the paper. Although there was still a possibility of trapping him, he would definitely send someone to keep an eye on it at all times. He also wanted to know how much he dug.
After returning from Meizhuang, Prince Anfeng ordered the excavation and told him about the meals. Three meals a day would be eaten at Meizhuang.
The Supreme Emperor was curious, "Is he willing?"
"If you are willing, give him half, he is willing!"
Prince Anfeng said.
"impossible!"
The Supreme Emperor looked at him.
"How is it impossible?
We’ve all signed a letter, look!”
Prince Anfeng immediately took out the receipt and showed it to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor said: "What I mean is that you cannot give him half."
He took the document and could see every word and punctuation mark clearly, shook his head, and then added, "I've been fooled before, why don't you know how to be smarter?"
Xiaoyao Gong came over and asked, "Is there a trap?"
The Supreme Emperor showed the receipt to Xiaoyao Gong. Xiaoyao Gong looked at it, didn't see it, and threw it to Chu Shoufu. Chu Shoufu only glanced at it and smiled, "Well, I'm going to lose my rice money."
"How to say?"
Xiaoyao Gong is still puzzled. The treasure in the tomb is worth millions of taels. Especially if it is sold now, it will be even more valuable. If you share it in half, how can you lose money?
The first assistant said with a smile: "You are talking about giving him half of Brother Wei's. After selling those treasures, Brother Wei will only get one tael?"
Isn’t it a loss?”
Xiaoyao Gong took a deep breath, "One tael, isn't that too harsh?"
Prince Anfeng waved his hand, "How is this possible?
I can't make him lose money. I plan to only take one hundred taels and divide the rest between Luoman and them. That way, if he divides fifty taels, he won't lose money on food, but he may lose some money on meat."
Duke Xiaoyao said in a daze: "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Prince Anfeng looked at him, then stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek hard, "I already suffered a huge retribution for accepting you in the first place. Is there any other retribution that can compare with it?"
Xiaoyao Gong laughed sarcastically, "When you took me in, you also took three hundred taels of silver to help support the family, otherwise it would be difficult to survive at that time."
When Princess Anfeng took over Xiaoyao Gong, her husband gave him 300 taels of silver and asked Zhaixing Tower to support him for two or three years.
Ground up.
Thinking about it now, I just feel like time flies by like a white horse.
In this way, the civil service brigade started work every day, first went to Meizhuang to have breakfast before getting busy, came back on time for lunch at noon, and came back to have dinner at sunset. Lao Ming was secretly shocked when he saw their amazing appetite.
But I feel better when I think about the future share. After all, even if I eat a thousand taels, it is just a fraction of the share.
He paid more attention this time and ordered people to supervise it every day. Sometimes he even went shopping himself. When he saw the treasures unearthed, he asked people to write them down and then estimate the value.
Sometimes you get a few things in a day, and sometimes you get nothing, but overall, the value is still gratifying.
He would secretly calculate his share every day. For example, if he dug out a few gold ingots today, there was one worth 70 to 80 taels. At least he could get 30 to 40 taels of gold. How much would it cost to convert into silver and how much would it cost to convert into copper coins?
.
He was once the wise king of a country, but now he only cares about copper coins. He was very excited because of this feeling. He told Concubine Hu that he might have a talent for business, and he was particularly good at calculating money, especially when he was a junior.
To win the game and get Prince Anfeng to sign the paperwork and give him half, this is simply more fulfilling than being an emperor.
Concubine Hu used to be very silly and naive, but now after listening to Lao Ming's words, she felt that things would not be that simple.
But, seeing an old man’s innocence is also a pleasing thing.
