Chapter 214 Seeing them earning money is even more uncomfortable than losing money
Chapter 214 Watching them make money is more uncomfortable than me losing money!!!!!!
Yang Mansion.
In the lobby.
More than a dozen officials were sitting in the lobby.
The number was originally larger, but it turned out that the people coming were either the Duke of the country, a certain marquis, or various important officials.
The low-ranking officials left one by one. The rank was too low, so there was little meaning in coming here, and they were easy to create suspicion.
However, at this moment, the servant's voice suddenly sounded.
"Sir, what did the Minister of Household Affairs say, and why did you come to see me?"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then the voice of Zhao Yiyang, Minister of War, rang out.
"He Shangshu is here too. Sure enough, money is the most important thing in the world."
When he heard He Yan coming, Zhao Yiyang was not stupid and knew what He Yan was planning in an instant.
"Hahaha, Mr. He is really capable of bending and stretching."
"Not to mention anything else, Mr. He has been upset with Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang all day, but he didn't expect to have the nerve to come over."
"Oh, who would have trouble with Yin Zi?"
Everyone opened their mouths to make jokes. Of course, the purpose of doing so was just to make Yang Kai and Wang Qixin happy.
It can be considered as an outlet for the two of them.
"Master Yang, Master He Yanhe has been making sarcastic remarks since the beginning of the Great Xia Evernight City. Now that this business is making money, he has joined in. This kind of person is really a little greedy."
Someone spoke up, and it was a Duke. He was actually telling Yang Kai that if he didn't like it, he could come forward and solve He Yan's problem.
"Yes, yes, Mr. He often makes sarcastic remarks."
"He has been talking about how bad the city that never sleeps in Daxia is, and today in the court, he even deliberately reduced the finances of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works. He also said that he would ask the two adults to go to the He Mansion to apologize."
"It's really a bit disgusting."
All the officials also spoke up one after another. This household usually made everyone unhappy, and it was like asking for money.
Now that the opportunity has been seized and a new cash cow has emerged in the court, who cares what to say?
In other words, no matter how arrogant you were before, you will be humble today.
However, listening to everyone talking, Yang Kai felt extremely comfortable in his heart, but he also understood the general situation, smiled slightly, and then spoke.
"Everyone."
"In terms of personal friendship, I don't have much personal friendship with Mr. He."
"But in other words, although Mr. He is stingy, he is also doing it for our Daxia Dynasty. Mr. He is not wrong about this."
"Furthermore, Marquis Tianming also said that in this city that never sleeps in the Great Xia, more people should participate. Firstly, those who are capable will work harder, and secondly, they can pool their wisdom. There is endless money in the world."
"The more people there are, the greater the power, and thus the city that never sleeps in Daxia will become better and better."
"If I offend Mr. He because of this matter, and Mr. He will cause some trouble in the future, even if it delays the progress of some matters in Daxia Evernight City, it will not be a good thing for us. What do you think?"
Yang Kai spoke up, he actually understood why Gu Jinnian asked him and Wang Qixin to show off their wealth.
In fact, it is building momentum and attracting people to join.
The city that never sleeps in Daxia is not only open in Daxia Kyoto, but according to the idea of Zai Jinnian, it will be opened in the entire Daxia Dynasty and all counties.
Even when the population and people increase in the future, they will be opened in major cities.
Moreover, the biggest profit point of Daxia Evernight City is currently selling shops, so we must build new ones quickly. The more we build, the more money we can earn from selling them.
In the whole process, only Marquis Tianming, the two of them, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin were involved, but within the jurisdiction, there were some places where it was really impossible to get involved.
In this case, once the matter is delayed, the process will be slowed down, and once it is delayed, the money will be less.
Naturally, everyone should eat together, so that everyone is happy and things can be done.
This is the way of officialdom and the way of business.
The bigger the business, the more people must be involved. The more things are done, the easier it will be and the more money you will make.
So if He Yan wants to participate, it's a good thing, and it's a great thing. With him taking care of it, many things will be much easier.
"Mr. Yang is really broad-minded. In contrast, some people look even more villainous."
"As expected of the Minister of Rites, I admire you for your broad-mindedness."
"Master Yang, I have offended many people in the court. I hope you can forgive me. It is my fault."
Hearing Yang Kai speak like this, everyone couldn't help but stand up and bow to Yang Kai.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Yang Kai was smiling from ear to ear. As for Wang Qixin, it was okay, he didn't have much interest in this aspect, as long as he had money to spend.
"Sir, please come in."
Yang Kai spoke out and asked his servants to bring He Yan in.
Not long after.
A familiar figure appeared outside the lobby.
What to say.
He was holding some gifts in his hands, wearing a green shirt, and smiling all over his face.
"Master Yang."
"I came here late at night and caused a lot of disturbance. Please forgive me, Mr. Yang."
Walk into the lobby.
He Yan glanced at the officials sitting on both sides with his peripheral vision. The officials on both sides looked calm, but their eyes were a little strange.
However, how can you not feel embarrassed? After all, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Besides, I came to visit Yang Kai, not to visit them, no matter what they think.
"Master He, you're welcome."
"I wonder what your lord is doing when you come to visit me late at night and give me such a generous gift?"
Yang Kai stood up, smiled and took He Yan's gift.
Apart from anything else, he had never received a gift from He Yan after being an official for decades. When he came back to his Yang Mansion, it was already very good to leave without taking anything with him. This was the first time he gave a gift.
"Master Yang."
"I came here today for two things."
"First, I asked Your Majesty to reduce the amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry without conducting a detailed investigation at the court today. This matter is entirely my fault."
"After I returned home, I couldn't sleep all night and felt deeply distressed. I regretted that I should have spoken like this, so I came to apologize."
"I also hope that Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang will not be angry. Although I have sharp words, there are other reasons, but Qiben's intention is still for the three major disaster areas. If I tell any lies, I will be struck by lightning. I hope you will forgive me.
.”
"Secondly, I heard that His Majesty asked hundreds of officials to collect donations, and Mr. Yang donated tens of millions of taels of silver. I wonder if this is true or not?"
He Yan didn't speak tactfully, since everyone was here because of this incident, so he simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly.
When people come and gifts arrive, you should admit your mistakes and you did.
There is no need to be tactful, just explain the purpose of your visit directly, and you can still give it a nice and generous reputation.
"Oh, Master He, why did you say this? Master He has put in countless hard work for me, Daxia. I see it in my eyes. Please rest assured, Master He. Of course I won't keep it in mind for such a trivial matter."
"As for donating money, Mr. He will sit down first and I will speak slowly."
Yang Kai smiled and asked He Yan to sit down.
As He Yan sat down, Yang Kai stopped going around the bush.
"You all came to visit me late at night today, probably because of this donation of money."
"I would just be more modest and not hide my secrets from you adults. This money was indeed obtained by dividing accounts in the Evernight City."
"The gift department accounted for twenty million taels of silver."
In the main seat, Yang Kai spoke lightly, but these words made everyone present change their expressions.
For example, the faces of the four ministers, namely the Minister of War, the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Officials, and the Minister of Hubu, became the most exaggerated.
The colleagues around them have earned 20 million taels of silver. How can this not make them sad?
Moreover, countless thoughts flashed through their minds, what if their department had 20 million taels of silver?
I'm afraid it's just trivial to drink spicy food if it's popular. There are too many practical things that can be done.
The other dignitaries, such as Duke Xin and Duke Li, as well as the three powerful princes, were also shocked in their hearts.
Just one division of accounts is 20 million taels of silver? The money they have secretly collected over the years is probably not 20 million taels of silver, right?
This is really terrifying.
"I also received a share of 20 million taels of silver."
At the end, Wang Qixin also shouted and told his situation.
Now, everyone was even more shocked and didn't know what to say.
The Ministry of Industry also has a separate account of 20 million taels of silver?
Damn it, it’s such a huge profit.
"Oh, I am so stupid. The Marquis came to see me back then. I am so stupid that I missed such a good opportunity.
At this moment, He Yan's voice sounded, and he felt really uncomfortable, because he vaguely remembered that the first person Gu Jinnian came to find was Hu Bu, but he was blind at that time and rejected Gu Jinnian abruptly.
He still remembered that when Gu Jinnian came to the household department that day, although he was polite on the surface, in fact he heard that Gu Jinnian wanted money and immediately sent Gu Jinnian away in a friendly manner.
Now it seems that I am really stupid as a pig.
Not only He Yan, but everyone present felt a little regretful. After all, Gu Jinnian had also visited them one by one.
But at that time, who would have thought that Gu Jinnian would really make this city that never sleeps in the summer so popular?
This is a place that no one thought of.
In fact, it's not unfair. He Yan didn't care about Gu Jinnian at all at first. It was just that after Gu Jinnian told him the plan, He Yan gave it a little thought.
If you bring together everything on the market and sell it, it’s nothing more than a large grocery store. What’s the point?
If you run a restaurant, no matter how good it is, what will happen?
How much money can I make?
But who would have known that Gu Jinnian's plan to build a city that never sleeps is fake, but selling shops is real. This method goes straight to the core and is beyond anything anyone can think of.
If Gu Jinnian had spoken out about this at that time, how could He Yan have ignored it?
But now it is superfluous to say anything. I can only hope to make some money and make a little bit.
Seeing the extremely uncomfortable faces of everyone, Yang Kai and Wang Qixin felt relieved inside. Of course, they were also a little lucky, because they had also planned to reject Gu Jinnian at the beginning, no, they had already rejected Gu Jinnian.
It was only after the prince's dissuasion that the two of them chose to join the fundraiser, which was really a blessing.
"Everyone."
"Don't be anxious yet."
"It is a good idea not to expose your wealth. This time Mr. Wang and I will reveal our wealth, mainly because of the three major disaster areas."
"If not, Mr. Wang and I will save our time and you won't notice."
Yang Kai spoke without conscience.
As soon as these words were said, everyone was silent. Damn it, do you mean to save money?
Isn’t that restaurant in Kyoto taken over by your two departments?
Do you want face?
Do you really have no face at all?
It's just that it's hard to say this. Now that I have something to ask for, I can only laugh along and say yes, yes, yes.
What the adults said is good.
What the adults said is wonderful.
"Indeed, these two gentlemen show off their wealth but don't give it away. Such behavior makes us really admire them."
"Oh, you two adults are really noble and upright, I'm willing to bow down to you."
"If nothing else, if anyone dares to say anything bad about you two in the future, I will be the first to refuse."
When everyone speaks, you say something and I say something.
Yang Kai actually knew in his heart that these were just words for the occasion, but he still smiled.
"Since the wealth has been exposed, the two of us have also discussed with the Marquis. This city that never sleeps in Daxia is of great significance. It is not just as simple as making money, but it can change the pattern of the entire Daxia Dynasty in the future."
"So what the Marquis wants is to include more people to share, and of course they have to bear certain responsibilities."
"Not all the money in the world can be earned by the Marquis alone."
"Alone Better Together."
"What do you think?"
Yang Kai spoke up and said with a smile.
Speaking of which, who among you here doesn’t know what Yang Kai means?
Suddenly, everyone stood up and looked at Yang Kai, looking extremely excited.
"Master Hou is really benevolent and righteous."
"It turns out that the Marquis still remembers us. He is really a good person."
"Great, really great."
"It's a good saying that happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone. Mr. Yang, Gao, you are really Gao."
Everyone stood up, all extremely excited.
To be honest, everyone now knows that Daxia is making money in the city that never sleeps. They rejected Gu Jinnian at the beginning, but now they come here with a shameful face. Gu Jinnian has no need to give them face.
Gu Jinnian is now the No. 1 Marquis of Daxia, and in the business of Daxia's Evernight City, there are the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry. Not to mention that the power is overwhelming, but half of the country is not a big problem, right?
Under such circumstances.
What can Gu Jinnian do even if he doesn't give them face?
Who can compare to the Gu family now? What’s more, there are so many more people?
Not only could Gu Jinnian not let them join, he could also point at their noses and scold them for being short-sighted.
What can they do?
What he didn't expect was that Gu Jinnian was broad-minded and willing to let them join.
This is simply an unexpected surprise.
Not to mention other things, if you get involved, it will not only be a clique in terms of power, which will be of great benefit to your future, but you can also make money, and you will make money in a serious and fair way.
Who wouldn't like it?
Who wouldn't want to get involved?
Therefore, everyone was extremely excited, and their excited fingers could not help but tremble slightly.
Especially He Yan was overjoyed.
At this moment, the figure of the servant came over and said something unknown in Yang Kai's ear.
Yang Kai stood up and smiled.
"Everyone, the Marquis invites us to meet at a restaurant."
As the sound rang out, everyone responded one after another and rushed towards the city that never sleeps in Daxia.
It takes about less than two quarters of an hour.
The carriage galloped all the way and arrived at Daxia Restaurant as quickly as possible.
The restaurant is brilliant, and after these few days of fermentation, the restaurant's business is getting better and better, with more and more tourists, and the natural occupancy rate is also very high.
It was at this time.
After the officials arrived at Daxia Restaurant.
I was assigned directly to the ninth floor.
When the officials entered the ninth floor, they were amazed for a moment.
The ninth floor was turned into a conference room by Gu Jinnian. It was very elegant and looked particularly peaceful. There were a large number of books, calligraphy and paintings in it.
When everyone entered, they saw Gu Jinnian making tea.
"I've been waiting for you to see Mr. Hou."
Everyone spoke together, even the Duke had to speak. He had no choice but to join the gang now. Gu Jinnian took the initiative.
Not to mention they are princes, even if they are emperors, they cannot rob them by force.
"You're welcome."
"Come on, come on, take a seat."
Seeing the crowd appear, Gu Jinnian looked gentle. He asked Yang Kai and Wang Qixin to show off their wealth. The purpose was to attract this group of people.
As everyone sat down.
Gu Jinnian personally poured tea for everyone, causing some officials to stand up and say.
"Master Hou, let me do it."
"Master Hou is really too polite."
Everyone spoke with smiles.
"No, if we talk about official positions, there are second-rank officials among you. If we talk about titles, there are also elders of the country. If we talk about age, I have just reached the title."
"How can I let you come?"
Gu Jinnian was as gentle as jade. After pouring tea for everyone, he didn't say anything.
And everyone drank it one after another.
It's not too hot either.
"Master Hou, please forgive He for being frivolous."
"Previously, the Marquis came to my household department to discuss the matter of raising funds. I had high expectations but low abilities, and then even belittled the city that never sleeps in Daxia."
"I have committed a frivolous mistake. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis."
He Yan was the first to speak up. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. To him, silver was the king, and everything that was concerned about face or not was nothing.
Therefore, seeing Gu Jinnian like this, it was not a big deal for He Yan to be the first to speak out, speak clearly, and bow his head to admit his mistake.
If you keep putting on airs, you are asking for trouble.
To put it bluntly, my own people are here, so what else is there to do that is shameless?
The most important thing now is to get involved and get a share of the pie.
"Lord He, you are speaking harshly."
Gu Jinnian smiled slightly and then spoke.
"It was reasonable for you to refuse at that time."
"I will not keep this in mind."
After saying this, Gu Jinnian continued to speak.
"I already know the purpose of your coming."
"Now that it's getting late, I won't make any detours."
"Do you all want to join the team again?"
When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he got straight to the point.
After saying this, everyone raised their eyebrows, then stood up one after another and looked at Gu Jinnian.
"To be honest, we do want to get back into the game."
"Since my nephew is so direct, I won't beat around the bush."
"Master Hou is so righteous."
Everyone spoke one after another. Now that the conversation has reached this point, there is really no need to be secretive and talk about something.
After hearing what everyone said, Gu Jinnian nodded.
"Since everyone has this intention, I have three things to tell you clearly first. After that, everyone will consider whether to continue to invest."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly.
"Please speak frankly, Lord Marquis."
"Master Hou, just speak frankly."
Everyone nodded and were curious about what Gu Jinnian wanted to say.
"One."
"If you all contribute, I can agree to it, but the amount and quantity must not be large. There will only be one for each tribe or clan."
"And the amount is fifty thousand taels of gold, which is more than before."
"Before the opening of the Everlasting City in Daxia, I approached all of you, and you didn't participate. I don't mind. But now that the Everlasting City in Daxia is about making money every day, it's a bit derogatory."
"When you are making money, if you want to get involved, it is naturally impossible to do what you did at the beginning. In this case, it will be unfair to Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang, and it will also be unfair to the prince and King Qin."
"So, can you accept it?"
Gu Jinnian spoke, and after saying this, he looked at everyone.
There is no problem if you want to join the team, but it is impossible to remain the same as before. Each department can only join one team. This is to protect the interests of those in front.
At the same time, it is also an expression of dissatisfaction. Before, Gu Jinnian politely asked everyone to join in, but you despised it. Now that you see that you are making money, you want to get involved. Is it that easy?
As soon as this was said, everyone nodded.
"What Mr. Hou said is reasonable and reasonable."
"Yes, I support Mr. Hou."
"Yichou is just waiting for me to save face. If it were someone else, it would be a good thing if they didn't chase me away."
"Master Hou is righteous."
No one complained at all, because what Gu Jinnian said was right.
This point, as long as there is no problem with the brain, will not find it problematic at all.
"Okay, since everyone is willing, I will go directly to the second point."
"Secondly, those who are capable will come first. Don't think that you will be fine just by giving them money. Today's Daxia Evernight City earns taels of silver every day, I'm afraid it will exceed your imagination."
"Fifty thousand taels of gold is nothing to Daxia's Sleepless City. I think you should understand."
"If you don't believe it, this property just happens to have a land title. All the shops in Daxia Evernight City have been sold out, and there are still twenty best shops left unsold."
"Someone has already asked for 30 million taels of silver for a room. It can be said that if you sell a room casually, you can raise more money than you have given me."
"I want you all to make money together. I think you should know what the purpose is?"
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and directly placed the land deed in front of everyone.
These words made everyone extremely shocked.
All stores are sold out? Any one of the last twenty stores sells for 30 million taels of silver?
hiss.
Damn it, is it really that profitable?
They were shocked and felt incredible.
Of course, they still knew what Gu Jinnian said.
They understood the meaning of Gu Jinnian's words.
Daxia Evernight City does not lack money at all. What it lacks is their group of people, a powerful force. With them in the entire Daxia Dynasty, how many people dare to target Daxia Evernight City?
If their interests are involved, they will form a terrifying force.
Moreover, this power is not just about profit, but it is also extremely terrifying when it is implicated in the court.
Dukes, princes, six tribes, plus the Gu family, and Gu Jinnian.
hiss.
To be honest, if Gu Jinnian hadn't been the main person, if anyone had brought these officials together, to be honest, the whole family would have been dead.
But it was precisely because of Gu Jinnian that everyone understood that the matter was settled.
Because Emperor Yongsheng would not be able to guard against Gu Jinnian if he was on guard against anyone.
There is no other reason.
Gu Jinnian really wants to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty, why should he do this? Just leave and join the Central Continent Dynasty.
Therefore, everyone nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
Seeing everyone's agreement, Gu Jinnian continued to speak.
"The third and final point."
"Everything in Daxia Evernight City should be led by me. You all enjoy the right to share dividends and make suggestions, but how to do it, how to do it, and who to cooperate with are all up to me."
"When you are needed, you must do what I want. Otherwise, there is no need to gather together."
"This business is business, and everything else is other things. I will not make it difficult for you."
Gu Jinnian continued to speak, this was the third thing.
Unite.
And the interests are unified.
If you want to make money for free, you can.
Then you must listen to yourself, and whatever you say is what you say.
Otherwise, why should we distribute the money to everyone?
Is it really true that no one likes it?
In the city that never sleeps in the Great Xia, Gu Jinnian is not just here to make money. He lets Yang Kai and Wang Qixin show off their wealth to attract them. After attracting them, he wants to unify.
He wants to unify the government.
All officials surrendered.
Only in this way can the development of the Great Xia Dynasty be truly facilitated. Otherwise, if it were like before, you have your opinion on a matter and I have mine.
How to do it?
Everyone can give their opinions, but the decision must be made by one person, and that person is Gu Jinnian.
As for doing this, whether he had considered Emperor Yongsheng's feelings, Gu Jinnian already had a plan, because the purpose of doing this was to help his uncle complete the internal unification.
To put it bluntly, it is impossible to restrain a group of people with any kind of family and country sentiments or literary character.
But it can be done with profit, and it can be done perfectly.
Everyone understood what Gu Jinnian meant almost instantly.
They looked left and right. It was easier to tell the truth before, but now they have to hesitate. It's not that they don't believe Gu Jinnian.
But I always feel that there is something wrong with doing this.
"Master Marquis, it's not what I said, but what we do, if it spreads and His Majesty knows about it, I'm afraid there will be some misunderstandings, right?"
Some people spoke and looked at Gu Jinnian. This was their only worry, lest His Majesty might think wrong.
But as soon as he said this, Gu Jinnian smiled slightly.
"If nothing else happens, Eunuch Wei should be returning to the palace soon. I think Your Majesty will also know about this matter."
"So when you come here, do you really think you can hide His Majesty's secrets?"
"Besides, if you have a clear conscience, why are you afraid?"
Gu Jinnian spoke slowly.
On the contrary, he is not worried at all if Emperor Yongsheng really doubts what he has done.
That would be meaningless.
Not to mention other things, in the past year, if it were not for myself, I would not dare to say that the Great Xia Dynasty would be destroyed, but at least half of the Great Xia Dynasty would be destroyed.
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
"In that case, I agree."
"Master Marquis, if you have any orders from now on, just ask."
"Master Marquis, if you need any help in the future, please send someone to the Ministry of War, and I, Old Zhao, will definitely help you solve it."
Everyone spoke one after another. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs all disagreed. Everyone was short of money.
Moreover, this is also a good thing. With Gu Jinnian taking the lead and directing everyone to do things, the dynasty will definitely prosper. Of course, the one at the top will definitely be His Majesty.
We all serve as ministers, in fact, they all do it to share the worries of the king.
"Okay, then you all sign your names on this deed, then send the silver coins, and start dividing the accounts from the next city that never sleeps."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
Kyoto Night City has already made all the money it should make, and the follow-up income will be normal income. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will not pop up all at once. The main thing is to look at the next one.
After everyone signed.
Then he gradually left. It was getting late and he couldn't stay for long.
However, He Yan, the Minister of Revenue, ignored him and continued to stay.
Apparently he still had something to talk to Gu Jinnian about.
Everyone could see it, but they didn't say much. After all, He Yan was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Some of his ideas were normal and might help everyone.
After everyone leaves.
He Yan just spoke out.
"Master Hou."
"Is your next plan going to be a residential property?"
He Yan opened his mouth. He had many ideas after he knew how to make money in Daxia Evernight City. Now that he has taken part in it, he can be regarded as one of his own.
Naturally, he wanted to express some opinions of his own.
"No."
"Residence will have to wait."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and shook his head.
"etc?"
"I heard Master Yang say before that five hundred million taels of silver have been spent on construction by the Marquis."
"Now the profit of Evernight City can only rely on department stores and restaurants, plus at most these twenty shops."
"If we go to other places to build a city that never sleeps, we will need a large amount of silver. And if nothing happens, Your Majesty will know these things soon."
"When Your Majesty finds out, apart from other things, Your Majesty will definitely ask the Marquis for the silver needed by these three major disaster areas. If you don't build a new city, where will the silver come from?"
He Yan was a little confused this time. He thought Gu Jinnian would build a house and then sell it at a high price to get the money back. But what he didn't expect was that Gu Jinnian didn't build it?
"Master He, if you want to build a new city, do you need to use your own money?"
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly, looking at He Yan and saying this.
"ha?"
"Master Hou, what do you mean?"
He Yan is getting more and more confused the more he listens.
And Gu Jinnian didn't show off and said directly.
"What we need to do now is to make the city that never sleeps in Daxia famous all over the world, so that everyone in Daxia, from the dignitaries to the common people, know about the city that never sleeps."
"No matter what means are used, if we want to make the city that never sleeps in Daxia become more and more popular, it is enough for the city that never sleeps in Kyoto to rely on the people."
"But for us, it's still far from enough. We want tourists from all over the country to come and return home with a full load. The more customers there are, the more the shop will make."
"When the time comes, let the news go directly to some of the major counties in Daxia, saying that a city that never sleeps will be built here."
"Let's make it clear to local officials and ask all counties to cooperate intensively and provide land for free. We don't need to do anything, just build a wall first."
"If you plan the number of shops and pre-sell in advance, won't the money come in?"
Gu Jinnian expressed his thoughts.
Pre-sale system.
As soon as these words came out, He Yan was stunned on the spot. He was a smart man and knew how to do business. He immediately understood how terrifying Gu Jinnian's pre-sale system was.
Without spending a penny, you can receive a large sum of money and then build cities that never sleep, and cities that never sleep can bring huge financial income to various places.
Therefore, all localities will definitely try their best to cooperate. As for this free land grant, it is nothing. Now the whole court and other big forces are united. If they want to grant land, all the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to do is ask.
How dare all localities not cooperate?
However, Gu Jinnian used a more tactful approach. The advantage of doing so was that the governors and governors of various places would cooperate voluntarily instead of issuing orders from the court.
If the court issued an order, these county guards and princes would feel as if they had been robbed of something, but when they came to discuss business, it was different. Instead, they became the ones who wanted something from Gu Jinnian.
Because they know what the city that never sleeps means.
It is a good thing for one's own political achievements, it is also a good thing for the people, and it is also a good thing for businessmen.
Everyone has what they need, everyone gets what they want, and is happy.
High.
This is the real high.
"I admire you."
"I really admire you."
This time He Yan was really impressed. Just this pre-sale system made He Yan admire him. He didn't spend a penny, but he could do great things and make money directly.
One link after another.
The city that never sleeps in Daxia seems to be a single entity, but in fact it leaves a lot of foreshadowings. He finally understands why Gu Jinnian uses official salt to attract people, and spends money to build restaurants and scenic spots, including various
Give gifts, let the workers have good food and shelter, and serve the people well.
All of this is for fame. The greater the fame, the better the business, and the more terrifying the potential value it brings.
"Master He, you really need to deal with two things."
When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he really had something to ask for.
"Master Hou, just ask."
He Yan took a deep breath and then asked with great respect.
He completely admired Gu Jinnian.
Big change in attitude.
Before, he was polite because he wanted to cooperate, but now he deeply felt that Gu Jinnian was an almighty being.
Gu Jinnian is so proficient in Confucianism, Immortalism, Martial Arts, state and family affairs, and even business. How can this not shock him?
"One."
"After this pre-sale product is produced, many people will inevitably imitate it to make profits. This is strictly prohibited. It does not mean that I don't want others to make money."
"But if someone takes advantage of this pre-sale system to make money and run away with nothing, or build a building or house without even looking like it, and dare to accept money from others, this kind of thing is strictly not allowed."
"Second."
"The matter of preparing merchants' taxes. Daxia's Evernight City is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface. It also involves another matter. Once successful, Daxia's commercial trade will reach its peak."
"At that time, the temporary tax adjustment was bound to be full of mistakes. Now we should adjust the tax and be prepared to cancel the grain tax."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
The first thing is the most important thing. Once the pre-sale system is released, I think some businessmen will have some decent learning. Gu Jinnian will not stop businessmen from making money, but he is afraid that some businessmen will get bigger and bigger, and in the end it will be the common people who are cheated.
.
Others can't guarantee it, but Gu Jinnian can guarantee it. As long as the money is collected, it will be done.
Therefore, this kind of thing is resolutely not allowed and severely cracked down on, otherwise it will cause huge trouble.
The second thing is the issue of taxation. The abolition of the grain tax is an important event for the ages. Once successful, the national fortunes of Daxia will inevitably increase.
Everyone in the world will be shocked by it.
Sure enough, after hearing this, He Yan was stunned on the spot.
Food tax is the biggest source of revenue for every country and dynasty. Gu Jinnian now wants to cancel the food tax.
How terrifying is this?
Let’s not talk about what has been accomplished or what can’t be accomplished. Let’s just talk about such a big heart, which shocked him deeply.
If Gu Jinnian really accomplished this feat.
Based on this alone, Gu Jinnian will become a saint.
People in Daxia worship Gu Jinnian.
This is something unparalleled.
"Gu Gong."
"Eternal justice."
He Yan took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Gu Jinnian.
"It's just for the people, it's not a great righteousness."
Gu Jinnian waved his hand.
However, He Yan continued to speak out.
"I admire you for having such a heart."
"It's just that, Mr. Marquis, I'm not saying bad things, but canceling the food tax. I'm afraid it's a bit exaggerated."
"After all, commerce is difficult to stabilize. Food is stable every year. I feel it is a bit risky."
At this moment, He Yan said seriously.
But Gu Jinnian shook his head.
"Master He, do you know how many seats I plan to open in this city that never sleeps in Daxia?"
Gu Jinnian spoke slowly and looked at He Yandao.
"How many?"
"Seventy-two counties, seventy-two seats?"
This time He Yan was a little surprised.
"not enough."
"In the Daxia Dynasty alone, it is estimated that there will be less than 200."
"For the entire Donghuang Dynasty, it is estimated that there will be a thousand."
"Kyoto is a city that never sleeps. It is estimated that one year's income from rent, restaurants, department stores, and zoos will be sixty million taels of silver."
"But considering the entire Daxia Dynasty, it is estimated that a city that never sleeps will earn 30,000 taels of silver."
"Master He can calculate the profit from two hundred seats."
"How much is the profit from a thousand seats? Mr. He should be able to calculate it."
"After deducting various costs, the profit should be about 30%."
"Thirty percent of the thirty million taels of silver is also ten million taels of silver. And if 30% of this silver is paid to the court, how much will it cost, Lord He?"
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly.
Although reaching this level is a bit exaggerated and requires a lot of manpower and time, it can at least be achieved, and there is great hope.
The function of the city that never sleeps in Daxia is to integrate entertainment and play, and the court provides various conveniences.
Lifting the curfew, official salt, long rice, and other things, using the lowest price to ensure passenger flow, is a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Ten million taels of silver?"
"The imperial court receives three million taels of silver every year."
For a moment, He Yan was stunned on the spot.
He has calculated the revenue from grain taxes. If there are dragon rice in the river, the annual tax revenue is estimated to be 200,000 taels of silver, and it will actually get lower as time goes by.
Because there are more and more grains, your prices will inevitably come down.
Things are rare and valuable.
But for comparison, the income of this city that never sleeps in Great Xia is as high as three million taels of silver.
This is too exaggerated.
"I understand."
"Master Hou, you are truly a genius."
This time He Yan completely understood.
Gu Jinnian's thoughts are beyond the imagination of ordinary people and are shocking.
"Now that I understand."
"It's just too much trouble, Mr. He."
Gu Jinnian handed over his hand.
Then he bowed to Gu Jinnian.
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis."
"If there is any right or wrong in the future, I will definitely solve these troubles for the Marquis and ensure the success of the Marquis's plan."
He Yan said with great excitement.
This time, it was not for himself or the Ministry of Revenue, but for the entire Daxia Dynasty.
"Walk slowly."
Gu Jinnian doesn't want to talk about anything.
He Yan resigned at this point.
After He Yan left, Gu Jinnian also stretched his muscles and went directly to the bath to relax.
He had made a lot of plans these past few days and barely had a moment's rest.
At this moment.
Royal Palace.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Yongsheng drank a bowl of water, but he was reluctant to add tea because he wanted to reduce his finances.
"well."
"I wonder if the amount of donations raised this time can reach one million."
"I don't ask for anything else, as long as I don't rank first."
After reading the official document, Emperor Yongsheng stood up and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan beside him immediately spoke up.
"Your Majesty is so frugal. All officials should understand the holy will and don't think they will donate less. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Taking into account the time, Eunuch Wei should be back."
Liu Yan spoke up and smiled flatteringly.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng did not speak, but remained silent.
It was at this time.
Wei Xian's figure appeared.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
Outside the Yangxin Hall, Wei Xian ran very fast, even stumbling a little, and ran directly into the main hall.
He came to Emperor Yongsheng, presented the donation list, and said with great excitement.
"Your Majesty, it's a great joy, a great joy."
He was extremely excited, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
This made Emperor Yongsheng frown a little. Wei Xian had been following him for so many years. What big scene had he not seen before?
Normally you wouldn't be so gloomy, right?
Suddenly, Emperor Yongsheng walked over and took the donation list directly from his hand.
Then he looked down.
In an instant.
Emperor Yongsheng was silent.
Just because Yang Kai's name suddenly appeared on the top of the list, but the amount forced him to remain silent.
Ten million taels.
The second place is Wang Qixin, the amount is also 10 million taels.
The third place is King Qin, still 10 million taels.
The fourth place is the prince, also 10 million taels.
The fifth place is myself.
Emperor Yongsheng felt that this result was not bad.
Being ranked fifth is a good thing.
But damn, why did you donate so much money?
Forty million taels.
The money in his inner treasury is only 700,000 taels of silver. Are these people going to rob the national treasury?
"Wei Xian, is this list true?"
Emperor Yongsheng suppressed the shock in his heart and asked the other party.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have brought all the banknotes."
Wei Xian raised his head and answered, extremely excited.
Did you bring all the banknotes?
hiss.
Emperor Yongsheng felt a little numb.
"Where did they get the money?"
Emperor Yongsheng didn't understand.
According to their salaries, where does the money come from?
They can't earn ten million taels of silver in a thousand years.
Corruption and perversion of law?
Isn't this a disease? Donate the money you get from greed?
Do you have some brains?
"Replying to Your Majesty, it's the account of Daxia Evernight City."
"In the past few days, Daxia Evernight City has received a total of five hundred million taels of silver."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and gave the answer.
"impossible."
"This is fake. Even if Jiangzhong Longmi is sold for a hundred taels of silver and one stone, it cannot be sold at this price."
Emperor Yongsheng directly rejected it.
However, Wei Xian took a deep breath and told Emperor Yongsheng bit by bit the ins and outs he knew.
The key is this store.
After Emperor Yongsheng finished listening.
He couldn't help but sit on the dragon throne.
He wanted to find a hundred reasons to veto it, but the problem was, he couldn't veto it.
"Fuck it."
"These people have united together to hide this from me."
When Emperor Yongsheng spoke, he really couldn't help but swear.
I'm saving money here, but I didn't expect these people to make so much money?
And you still hide it from yourself?
this.
this.
I'm fucked.
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the palace.
"His Majesty."
"The Queen Mother heard that the court was in trouble and raised money for the court, totaling 51,450,000 taels of silver."
The palace maid's voice sounded outside.
As soon as he said this, Emperor Yongsheng became even more silent.
Even the Queen Mother and others participated.
No, he already knew that the Queen Mother, the Queen, the Prince, and the King of Qin were all involved.
I just didn’t expect that I really made money?
hiss.
In other words, how could one of the civil and military dynasties be so poor on his own?
he is very angry.
But facing so much money, Emperor Yongsheng still took a deep breath and said.
"Tell the Queen Mother that on behalf of the people of Great Xia, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for saving money."
He was angry because he was angry, but Emperor Yongsheng knew a truth deeply, there was no need to be in trouble with Yinzi.
Counting these fifty million taels of silver, the total is ten million taels of silver.
This sum of money.
Enough to solve a lot of troubles.
Emperor Yongsheng was stunned on the spot.
He really didn't know what to say.
No wonder the prince refused to get his money back.
So that’s what happened.
Daxia Evernight City received five hundred million taels of silver. Damn it, even the national treasury’s revenue is not that much.
At this moment, Emperor Yongsheng turned red.
Especially when he thought about how he belittled Gu Jinnian's business.
This is really embarrassing.
"Walk."
"Go find Jinnian."
Emperor Yongsheng stopped nagging. How could he miss such a good thing?
At that moment, Emperor Yongsheng set off and went directly to find Gu Jinnian.
About half an hour.
The night is getting dark.
Emperor Yongsheng sat on the dragon chariot with a somewhat complicated mood.
It was a shock before, so I didn’t feel anything.
After calming down, Emperor Yongsheng felt a little embarrassed.
Because he still vaguely remembers what he said.
It's a little embarrassing.
"Wei Xian."
"You said that Jinnian, the city that never sleeps in the summer, is so profitable. Would it be bad for me to go find him now?"
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and asked Wei Xian.
"Your Majesty, how could this be bad? It's a good thing that Daxia Night City makes money. Why do you think it's bad, Your Majesty? It's not like you wanted to share the Marquis' money in the past."
Wei Xian laughed and said.
But as soon as he said this, Emperor Yongsheng fell silent.
Wei Xian smiled and fell silent.
Liu Yan on the side became even more silent.
Good guy, I bet you are going to share other people’s money?
Is there something wrong with this?
To be honest, the two of them thought Emperor Yongsheng had come to congratulate him.
I didn't expect that I was attracted by other people's money.
"Liu Yan."
"You said, I want to share some profits, it's not a big deal, right? Jinnian shouldn't be angry, right?"
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and looked at Liu Yan and asked.
"No, no."
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking."
"Let's not talk about other things. Your Majesty granted this Evernight City to the Marquis. To say the least, Your Majesty also contributed the capital."
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, you are Gu Jinnian's uncle. There is a saying in the slave family that if the nephew gets rich, the uncle will enjoy happiness."
"This is a matter of course."
"And how much can your Majesty ask for? Isn't it just a little bit? The whole Great Xia belongs to your Majesty, you can't ask for too much, right?"
Liu Yan chuckled.
Praising Emperor Yongsheng.
However, as soon as he said this, Emperor Yongsheng fell silent again.
Liu Yan smiled and didn't smile.
Good guy.
Isn't this necessary?
When people started doing business, you were the one who said bad things about them.
Now their business is booming, and you want to get involved.
And if you blend in, just blend in. You are the emperor, and giving you some face is enough. I didn’t expect you to be so greedy?
It's very quiet inside the car.
Emperor Yongsheng also felt that he had gone too far.
But there is no way.
Five hundred million taels of silver, how terrifying is this profit? Is it just the profit from selling the shop, what about other profits?
With so much money, how could he not be greedy?
No, how can you not want it?
Everyone has a share, but you don’t?
How unpleasant it sounds to spread the word.
Whether you have money or not is a trivial matter, it is mainly a matter of face.
"Tell me, you two, when we meet Jinnian later, what should I say to make him willingly give me the money?"
Emperor Yongsheng continued to speak and asked the two of them.
Upon hearing this, the two shut up again.
I don't want to say this because it will offend people.
Seeing the two people being silent, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but get angry.
Along the way, I kept mumbling about how Jinnian was unkind and how I didn't want to think about my uncle after making money, so I didn't want too much.
in this way.
Daxia Restaurant.
Ninth floor.
Gu Jinnian felt so comfortable soaking in the comfortable bathtub.
I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to take a bath like this in ancient times. It was so refreshing.
The bathhouse was filled with mist.
It was at this time.
Footsteps sounded.
Look up.
It was Emperor Yongsheng, standing in front of him.
"Uncle."
Gu Jinnian spoke and looked at Emperor Yongsheng.
"You are really my good nephew."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, looking a little angry, then glanced at the bath, and couldn't help but say.
"Damn it, it's more comfortable than mine."
After saying this, Emperor Yongsheng took off his coat and socks, walked directly into the bath, and shouted comfortably.
"Uncle, why are you here suddenly?"
Gu Jinnian asked knowingly.
"Sudden?"
"Jinnian, do you really think I'm a fool?"
"This city that never sleeps in Great Xia has made so much money. If Yang Kai and Wang Qixin hadn't been exposed, I would have been kept in the dark by you."
Emperor Yongsheng was not in a good mood.
"Uncle, my nephew told you before, but you don't want to join in."
"Why is it my nephew's fault?"
Gu Jinnian said with an innocent face.
"I won't listen, I won't listen."
"Anyway, if you make money, you can share some with me."
Emperor Yongsheng didn't care and acted rogue in the bathhouse.
"Your Majesty, just tell me how much you want."
Gu Jinnian looked calm and seemed ready.
"Thirty percent."
"Isn't it too much?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
No, it's a pale lion with its mouth wide open.
"Thirty percent?"
"Uncle, you really know how to speak. Everyone else has two chips, but you just want 30 percent?"
Gu Jinnian knew that his uncle was greedy, but he didn't expect that his uncle was so greedy.
"I am the Emperor of Daxia, so what does it matter if you take more points? Besides, I also approved this land for you."
"If you really want to say that you want to invest, the land will take more than 30%, right?"
When Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth, he was obviously acting rogue.
"Thirty percent impossible."
"Old uncle, don't worry about making money in this city that never sleeps, but most of the money is still useful to me. Besides, when taxes are paid in the future, 30% will be handed over to the national treasury."
"What do you want so much for?"
Gu Jinnian shook his head, 30% was too much.
Grab it?
"Thirty percent should be given to the national treasury?"
"Hahaha, as I said, our nephew is still facing me."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and smiled from ear to ear. Thirty percent of the tax revenue was given to the Great Xia Dynasty. This was a great thing.
"But uncle, for the sake of the prosperity of Daxia Evernight City, it will be tax-free in the early stage. We will collect it after they have made enough and are happy."
Gu Jinnian said.
As soon as he said this, Emperor Yongsheng nodded, he understood this truth.
"But how much do you plan to give your uncle?"
"Nephew, you don't want your uncle to live a miserable life every day, right?"
Emperor Yongsheng was very happy to learn about the 30% tax, but he still needs some money to put into his private treasury, right?
When you have money in the future, it’s not too much to build a few palaces for yourself, right?
Or in the future, when foreigners come to worship, they can wave their hands without looking at the face of the Ministry of Rites, right?
As soon as this statement came out.
Gu Jinnian thought for a while and said.
"Five chips, okay?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
"Ten chips, be free and easy."
Emperor Yongsheng said with a smile.
"Uncle."
Gu Jinnian was a little helpless.
"Okay, okay, five chips is five chips. You are really stingy, just like your mother. This is not like our old Li family at all."
Emperor Yongsheng also accepted it as soon as it was good.
"But Jinnian, this business is so profitable, what do you need so much money for?"
Emperor Yongsheng was a little curious.
What does Gu Jinnian do to earn so much money?
It's really unnecessary.
"Uncle, I plan to use the money I will earn in the future to open a school so that everyone can study."
"Use the money to build bridges and roads."
"There are many other things, is this enough reason?"
Gu Jinnian said.
"Everyone has a book to read?"
"You're damn worthy of having the blood of the Li family."
Emperor Yongsheng was a little shocked. He really didn't expect Gu Jinnian to have such great ambitions.
good.
He is indeed a member of the Li family.
"Then your Majesty, can you order less?"
Gu Jinnian looked at Emperor Yongsheng with a smile.
"no."
"I am not a saint, you are a saint, and I will leave these things to you."
"I just want to be the supreme emperor in peace after I finish dealing with the Huns."
When Emperor Yongsheng spoke, he was direct and did not play tricks.
Real enough.
"Okay, I'm leaving. You can take the money later and build a bath like this for me in the palace."
"Jin Nian, we will worship our ancestors in a few days, and you will come to participate."
Emperor Yongsheng stood up, patted Gu Jinnian's shoulder, and then used his true energy to evaporate the water on his body.
Then strode away.
Smiling brightly.
As Emperor Yongsheng left.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but smile.
After solving my old uncle, many things will become much easier to handle.
Internal unity.
Some government affairs can be decentralized in peace and security, and there is no need to worry about any major problems.
soon.
Daxia never sleeps outside the city.
Emperor Yongsheng was sitting on the dragon chariot, very happy.
"Your Majesty, someone just came to report that six ministers, plus several princes and princes, have all been to Daxia Restaurant."
"I don't know what they are discussing."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and told such a piece of information.
"knew."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
Disapproval.
He could actually see what Gu Jinnian wanted to do.
This is a good thing.
I accomplished something that I had always wanted to accomplish but was difficult to accomplish.
Although the method is not very good, involving everyone in the court with interests, but the ending is good, then there is no big problem.
"If someone wants to target Jinnian in the court in the future, it will be troublesome."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and said something that the two of them could not understand.
in this way.
Arrived the next day.
It's just dawn.
The hard-working Chang Yuntian had been waiting outside the palace for a long time.
Waited until nine o'clock.
Finally, all the officials gathered together with smiles on their faces.
I don’t know why, but the officials all smiled very brightly, and they gathered together in a happy mood, without the usual intrigues between them at all.
But none of this matters.
He waited until He Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, arrived.
Chang Yuntian looked at the other party, then smiled slightly and nodded.
It seems to be expressing something.
He Yan was in a good mood. Seeing Chang Yuntian smiling at him, He Yan was a little confused.
But he still smiled back.
Nothing else, just because I feel good.
But just when Chang Yuntian was about to say something, suddenly, several ministers came over and greeted He Yan.
Several people laughed at each other, but it made it difficult for Chang Yuntian to come forward and say anything.
Just give up.
in this way.
About two quarters of an hour later.
The voice announcing Baiguan's entry into the court could not help but be heard.
Soon, all the officials stood in line as usual and walked forward side by side.
After a while.
In the main hall.
After a while, long live my emperor, long live long live.
Regular state affairs topics still started.
The first half of the story is unbeatable.
Half an hour later.
The state affairs have been settled.
Finally, it’s time to kick off the second half.
But what is different from the past is that at this time in the past, someone would basically come forward immediately.
But this time, everyone seemed to be fine.
Behind the civil servants.
Chang Yuntian looked at everyone in silence and immediately stepped out of the queue.
Walk in the center of the main hall.
All the officials couldn't help but cast their gazes one after another.
Chang Yuntian glanced at He Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Then he took out the memorial and said.
"My lord, Yushi Chang Yuntian, I have something to report."
As his voice sounded, Emperor Yongsheng glanced at it and then spoke.
"Play."
The voice fell.
Chang Yuntian took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.
"I impeach Gu Jinnian, the Marquis of Great Xia Dynasty, Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Qixin, the Minister of the Ministry of Works."
"The Marquis of Heaven built a city that never sleeps in Daxia, disturbing the people's livelihood and prohibiting night-time bans. As a result, the people of Kyoto were miserable and violated laws and disciplines."
"Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, acted recklessly because he received the silver from Da Xia's Evernight City. He disregarded the court's face and flaunted his wealth wantonly, causing controversy."
"Wang Qixin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, also got his share of the accounts and took over all the restaurants in Kyoto in Daxia. He was arrogant and domineering, causing controversy among the people and discrediting the imperial court."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"I beg your Majesty."
"Penalize Daxia Evernight City to close down for rectification."
"The money used to punish Yang Kai was confiscated."
"The money that Wang Shangshu shared as a penalty was confiscated."
"Prevent officials from engaging in business and crack down severely."
Changyuntian is full of righteousness.
A face full of justice.
However.
At this moment, the main hall became completely quiet.
Everyone looked at him quietly.
Such gaze.
Let Chang Yuntian feel the blessing of justice even more.
"I think after this incident is over, I will join the party of the Minister of Household Affairs."
