Dozens of female musicians can't even make five thousand dollars a year.
When Han Du was speechless, he didn't feel that the female musicians in Jiaofangsi were not good, but felt that the officials Lao Zhu sent to Jiaofangsi were all bullshit. To say those officials are dogs is to insult dogs. Even if they were all masturbated and a dog was kept at the door of Jiaofangsi, it would be impossible for Jiaofangsi to earn only five thousand guan a year.
Thinking of this, Han Du stretched out his right hand with a smile and raised his index finger towards Lao Zhu.
"Ten thousand dollars, did you really agree?" Although Lao Zhu knew that Han Du could make money, he still couldn't believe it.
What's more, now that Han Du has canceled even Jiaofangsi's most profitable method, how did he earn this ten thousand yuan?
Han Du's posture did not change, he just continued to smile and shook his head.
"Haha." Lao Zhu laughed when he saw it. Shaking his head, he asked, "You don't mean to say that you can give me one hundred thousand guan every year, do you?"
"One million sticks!"
Han Du retracted his finger and said decisively.
"As long as your majesty can allow me to take full charge of the Jiaofang Division, I can guarantee that I will send one million guan to the palace every year."
What industry is the most profitable? Huang Ke was ranked first, and he was not a little bit more tyrannical than the other two. It can be said that those who open gambling houses can make money as quickly as those who open brothels.
Jiaofangsi has the reputation of being the number one brothel in the capital. If nothing else, just relying on this reputation, getting one million guan a year is like just leaning down and picking it up.
"A gentleman's words!!!" Lao Zhu suddenly grabbed Han Du's arm.
Han Du hadn't realized why Lao Zhu was making such big moves, so he said casually after hearing his words.
"It's hard to chase a horse."
"It's a deal." Lao Zhu grabbed Han Du's arm tightly and didn't let go. He said casually: "If you can't do it by then, I won't ask for more, so you can give me your shares in the coal mine." That’s it.”
Um! Um?
Han Du nodded, and immediately felt that there was something wrong with what Lao Zhu said. Why does it feel like Lao Zhu doesn't believe that he can earn a million yuan a year, but is thinking about his own coal mine?
Before Han Du could see Lao Zhu's face clearly.
Lao Zhu pulled Han Du, as if he was afraid that he would be run away. He shouted toward the door: "Here comes the decree."
There was an excited look on Lao Zhu's face. Such a happy matter naturally had to be finalized by decree.
Han Du left the Imperial Study Room in a daze. When he came, he was empty-handed, but when he left, he held a fresh imperial edict in his hand. Standing with his back to Fengtian Temple, he opened the imperial edict in the sunlight and read it carefully from beginning to end.
In order not to give Han Du a chance to regret, Lao Zhu formulated the agreement between them through this imperial edict. This means that Han Du has full control over the Jiaofang Division and must ensure an income of one million yuan every year. If he fails to do so, Han Du's coal mining stocks will compensate him. Of course, the same Lao Zhu gave Han Du great power in the Jiaofang Division. Not only did it make it clear that all matters in the Jiaofang Division were only decided by Han Du, and even the Ministry of Rites was not allowed to interfere, the management of music books in the Jiaofang Division was separated from the Ministry of Rites, and was directly under the control of Han Du himself.
It can be said that with just such an imperial decree, Lao Zhu completely separated the Jiaofang Division from the Ministry of Rites and put it under the control of Han Du.
But in this way, I could tell with my toes that I seemed to have offended the Ministry of Rites again. Han Du couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Just offend if you offend me. Anyway, I have offended a lot of Liubu. If you have too many debts, don't worry. If you have too many lice, don't itch. You can do whatever you like."
After this incident, I don’t know whether it’s because monk Zongli is different from Yan Ne and is a truly virtuous monk who doesn’t want to cause trouble for me, or because they are worried about Lao Zhu.
Anyway, from then on, no one from the Tianjie Temple came to the Jiaofang Si anymore. Not only that, even Yao Yue’s master, Nun Huixin, never came to see Yao Yue again.
Yao Yue was temporarily stable in the Jiaofang Division.
As time passes, the construction of the opera house continues to advance. Starting from the base of a pile of cement, craftsmen from the Ministry of Works came in and began to build the upper wooden building.
The sun rises and sets, the sky darkens, the light and shadow are constantly changing, and time is constantly passing. The craftsmen who built the opera house were like densely packed ants, constantly piling up the height of the opera house with wood.
Seeing that the opera house was about to be completed, an unexpected person came to the Jiaofang Division.
Han Du felt a headache when he looked at Xue Xiang standing outside the Jiaofang Division. But even if Han Du was unwilling, he had to step forward to greet Xue Xiang.
"My lord, Shangshu, forgive me for my sins. I am sorry that I have missed you."
Xue Xiang saw Han Du step forward and said with a smile: "It's okay. Anyone who doesn't know is not guilty. I came here without notifying you in advance."
"Thank you, Lord Shangshu. I wonder why you are here today? If there is a place where the lower official can help, please speak up, Lord Shangshu, and never meet with the lower official." Han Du patted his chest and promised. Xue Xiang was overjoyed when he arrived.
Who is Xue Xiang? He worked as an official from the state and county level and became the minister of the Ministry of Industry. What kind of people and things have he not seen before?
Han Du's two bowls of ecstasy soup couldn't satisfy him at all.
He stroked his beard and chuckled: "You are really good at talking, but I really have nothing to do when I come here today. I just want to see how your opera house is being built. If there is anything inappropriate, just take care of it." Tell me, I will ask them to handle it properly for you."
"There is something inappropriate there. Well, the Ministry of Industry deserves to be the best in the world." Han Du raised his thumbs and praised it.
Although Han Du praised it, his heart was actually bleeding.
Others may not understand what Xue Xiang means, but how could Han Du not understand it. To put it nicely, it was Xue Xiang who acted righteously and wanted to help Han Du solve the difficulties and complete the construction of the opera house properly.
But don't forget that Han Du asked the Ministry of Industry to build an opera house, which would have to be paid for. Since Xue Xiang has promised Han Du that the opera house will be built properly, and it is about to be completed, doesn't Han Du also have to prepare the cost of building the opera house properly?
Thirty thousand guan is not a small number. Moreover, this was the result of being robbed and blackmailed by the Ministry of Industry, so Han Du naturally felt even more painful.
I have always taken money from other people's pockets, but I didn't expect that a wild goose would peck my eyes out today. When he thought that he had to pay the old man a total of 30,000 yuan, Han Du's heart felt like it was being twisted with a knife.
