Money is a good thing. Since it has been given, Su Ren has no reason to return it. He does not care who gives it. No matter whether it is the emperor or Princess Guantao, as long as it is put into his own pocket, even the Emperor of Heaven will not be able to take it.
Take one.
A total of 100,000 coins, no more than one coin, no more than one coin. In front of the housekeeper of Princess Guantao's Mansion, Su Ren asked people to count the coins one by one, carefully and strictly, making sure that there were no problems from the weight to the quality, and then he laughed.
Hehehe said to the housekeeper: "Go back and tell Princess Guantao that Your Majesty is very grateful to her! I will also explain to the Queen Mother that the house where she lives was bought and given by Princess Guantao."
The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more. He cupped his hands and took the receipt and led the person away without even talking about it. One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount for anyone. Even Princess Guantao spent a month to collect it.
Qi, I heard that he also sold a lot of land outside the city and some shops in the city. Of course, Su Ren didn't care, he only wanted money.
In addition, Su Ren admired Liu Fu's wit very much. He was able to seize a small thing and take advantage of Princess Guantao's now-challenged thoughts to take money out of her mouth. He was definitely not an ordinary person. It's no wonder that Changle Palace, Jianzhang
There were thousands of servants in the palace, but Liu Fu was able to sneak into the emperor's side. He couldn't do it without some skills.
With money, anything can be done easily. Doesn’t the emperor want the Queen Mother to spend the winter on the viewing platform? No problem, Su Ren will take good care of her. If the pressure boiler cannot be built, it will take more than a dozen people to build a high platform for twelve hours a day.
It is still feasible to boil hot water and pour it in. The radiators and pipes are all made of bronze. Ingenious things like the Simu Wu Fang Ding can be made, and it is not a problem to get a few bronze pipes. Tap water, toilet, shower
All kinds of post-modern gadgets are installed in it at once, and you don’t have to spend your own money anyway.
Seeing that winter was coming, the villa area in Louguantai was ready. Su Ren rushed to Chang'an City in person to greet the Queen Mother. It is said that Liu Che praised Su Ren's house in front of the Queen Mother as if it were a flower.
With the support of Wei Zifu and others, the Queen Mother finally agreed to spend the winter at Louguantai.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Changle Palace. I’ve been traveling all morning, and the autumn wind made me feel stiff all over. I got off my horse tremblingly, and Liu Fu came up to me with a smile: “Sir, you’ve had a hard journey all the way, I’m so polite!”
Su Ren shuddered and moved his stiff body: "Haha, that was well done."
Liu Fu naturally knew what Su Ren meant, and he laughed: "It's a coincidence that made Mr. Su laugh!"
Su Rendao: "They spent so much money and sent someone to Princess Guantao's mansion, so they said I would invite Princess Guantao to accompany the Queen Mother at Louguantai."
"No!" Liu Fu quickly agreed, summoned a chamberlain and gave instructions, turned around and showed the token in his hand: "This is Mr. Su, Your Majesty has no orders to stop you!"
Familiar place, familiar scenery, Changle Palace has not changed much in the past year, except that the owner here has been replaced by someone else. Changle Palace was originally the residence of the Empress Dowager Dou, and now the Empress Dowager has moved there. Some of the furnishings have been changed, Su
Ren actually saw tables and chairs.
Su Ren was not surprised that Tian Fen, the Marquis of Wu'an, was also there. Tian Fen was not in court now. He had the title of Marquis of Wu'an and was the younger brother of the Queen Mother. Anyone who saw him had to be careful to salute. In fact, Su Ren felt that Tian Fen liked the current one very much.
Life is peaceful and comfortable, even that ugly face is much brighter, and the already chubby body is even rounder.
Following the voice of the chamberlain, Su Ren lowered his head and walked in. He knelt down and saluted. The Queen Mother glanced at Su Ren: "Are you here to pick me up?"
"Yes, I have already built a house for the Queen Mother in Louguantai according to Your Majesty's wishes. I specially invited the Queen Mother to come and have a look. This is Your Majesty's wish. I hope the Queen Mother likes it."
"Well! The emperor said that the house you built is different. It is more comfortable than the Changle Hall of this palace. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Is it true?"
"Your Majesty is very complimentary, but the small man-made house is indeed different from the Changle Palace. There are many things in it that are very convenient. The Queen Mother only needs to bring a few maids."
"Hahaha!" Tian Fu smiled: "Your Majesty, the house built by this boy is definitely good. Do you still remember the house my brother built next to the Imperial College? It looks simple and shabby, but there are a lot of novelties inside.
Even the latrine is inside the house. After using it, I rinse it with water and there is no smell at all."
"Oh? The hut is also built inside the house. How can anyone live in it?"
Su Rendao: "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. The house made by the villain is just for convenience. The weather is cold in winter, but the smell of the potty is not good. The toilet made by the villain will have no smell as long as it is cleaned frequently! This time, the villain
We also used heating in the room, even the copper stove does not need to be used, and it is as warm as spring, and there is no smoke and smoke. There is also running water, hot and cold, so you can wash and drink as you like. "
Tian Fu patted his thigh: "Queen Mother, am I right? What this boy created is unmistakable. My brother felt itchy in his heart."
Su Rendao: "If Marquis Wu An likes it, he can buy one for 10,000 yuan. It is definitely more cost-effective than the house next to Taixue."
"Hahaha!" Tian Fu laughed: "Here we go again! I've never heard anything from your mouth about not asking for money. They all say that you are the most wealthy businessman in the Han Dynasty, and you still want to plot against us, so you can't give me a car.
?”
Su Ren smiled and said: "Ten thousand dollars is nothing to Marquis Wu'an, but when building a house, a villain also needs to hire people and craftsmen, and he also has to spend a lot of time on buying materials. You can't take it for nothing, right? The villain thinks that Marquis Wu'an is not that good.
People who don’t care about the life and death of the people.”
"Don't pressure me with righteousness. Did you also ask His Majesty for money for the house where the Queen Mother and ladies will live?"
Su Ren quickly knelt down and said: "Marquis Wu'an, don't you dare to slander the villain. The villain will never dare to do this. These houses were bought by Princess Guantao and given to the Queen Mother. In order to thank Princess Guantao for her generosity.
, the villain gritted his teeth and gave a gift to Princess Guan Tao, which can be regarded as a show of filial piety to the Queen Mother."
"You still have some conscience!" The Queen Mother finally showed a smile on her face: "In that case, let's go? Someone, get ready to drive!"
It is not an easy task for the Queen Mother and the ladies in the palace to move. Although Su Ren talked about the house he built so lavishly that it was almost like moving in with a suitcase. But the Queen Mother still had to bring a lot of things. She watched the chambermaids and maids move a lot of things.
Su Ren frowned as he moved a few things into the car. He was worried whether his small house could fit so many things.
He kept winking at Tian Fu, but Tian Fu turned a blind eye. Su Ren gritted his teeth, moved close to Tian Fu, and lowered his voice: "Marquis Wu'an, say something!"
Tian Fu sneered: "It's okay to say something, but what's the benefit of me?"
"How about a house?"
"Hehehehe!" Tian Fu laughed strangely twice, with an expression as if his evil plan had succeeded: "Is it a deal?"
Su Ren nodded. Tian Fu then took a square step and approached the Queen Mother. The two siblings murmured a few words, and the Queen Mother glanced at Su Ren and ordered: "I thought about it, since Su Ren has sent his
The house says it’s so good, don’t bring these bulky things, just bring what you can use easily!”
A large group of servants and maids agreed and started unloading the goods again. Chief Su Ren took a breath and looked at Tian Fu gratefully, but saw a wicked smile on Tian Fu's face, and immediately felt like he had been deceived. After Tian Fu resigned as prime minister,
His psychology has also changed. He is no longer as sinister as before, and is a bit more naughty. This may be related to the fact that he was in the market at the beginning. He has no intention of controlling the government, and naturally the ruffian's face is revealed.
Su Ren felt very unhappy after being cheated by the Queen Mother and Tian Fu. While the Queen Mother and the wives were preparing, Liu Che found Su Ren. As soon as they met Su Ren started to complain that the Queen Mother and Tian Fu had cheated him.
.
Liu Che laughed loudly after hearing this: "Good, very good, the queen mother is so wise that she even plotted against you. Oh, it's not easy!"
Dongfang Shuo became darker and thinner. After staying in Maoling for four years, he was exposed to the wind and sun all day long. The original elegant scholar disappeared, and he actually became a tall, thin and rough scholar. He also smiled: "I remember back then.
When I first met Mr. Su, Mr. Su had just come to Chang'an. I didn't expect that in just a few years, he would become known to the whole world. I think Mr. Su was already making plans at that time, right?"
"What's the plan? I have always acted according to His Majesty's wishes. If Brother Dongfang had not given Your Majesty this idea this time, I would not have sent the Queen Mother to Louguantai."
"Haha!" Dongfang Shuo smiled: "Really? I heard that Mr. Su built many houses in Louguantai and set aside a special area. The houses inside are magnificent. Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
"Oh? So you had this intention for a long time?" Liu Che thought for a while and figured it out.
Su Ren smiled: "I still can't hide it from the old fox."
"Hahaha..." The three laughed.
Su Ren indeed had other intentions in building a large-scale construction project in Louguantai. Today's Han Dynasty does not have Liu Che covering the sky with one hand. Not to mention the princes outside the pass, there are still hundreds of royal relatives and veterans of the previous dynasty living in Chang'an City. These people can be taken out at will
A lot of people would respond to his words. If he didn't get these people out of Chang'an, Liu Che could only wait slowly until these people died or didn't want to take care of things, then his ambition could be realized.
According to the historical trajectory, it took Liu Che about twenty years from his accession to the throne to his actual pro-government. Calculating carefully, his reign was fifty-three years in total. After excluding the incompetence in the last few years, it only took twenty years to be considered a truly wise and powerful person.
It took just twenty years to consolidate the political power of the Han Dynasty, pass on the throne to twenty-four emperors, and enjoy a four-hundred-year foundation.
However, Su Ren felt that it was still too short. In order to speed up the process of Liu Che's pro-government, and for the Han people to take charge as soon as possible, Su Ren decided to think of some ways, and this is how the villa area of Louguantai was established. Those houses were not meant for wealthy households and
It was prepared by a wealthy man. After it was built, he would try his best to trick the eloquent relatives of the emperor and veterans of the previous dynasty in Chang'an City to gradually make room for Liu Che.
I thought I had to handle this matter slowly, but I didn't expect Dongfang Shuo to see through it and let the Queen Mother move in first. That would be great. With the Queen Mother as a living sign, I don't have to worry about the die-hards in Chang'an City not flocking here.
While Su Ren laughed, he wondered in his mind whether he should raise the price appropriately, or introduce property management to provide better services and earn more money at the same time. If these people don't make money, they won't make it in vain. (To be continued)
