You might as well suspect me of being a thief... Han Du's lips twitched and he cursed.
Lao Zhu didn't doubt that Han Du had anything to do with these singers. He simply found it delicious.
490,000 yuan. How much money does the Jiaofangsi give to the palace every year? One million sticks.
On average, it’s less than 100,000 yuan per month.
Later, when Lao Zhu wanted to increase the income that Jiaofangsi sent to the palace every year, Han Du found a lot of excuses to stop him. After all, this is the hard-earned money of the girls, and the Jiaofangsi is just taking advantage of it now. As time goes by, the income will inevitably decrease. Anyway, Han Du's words meant the same thing. Since Emperor Chrysostom said one million guan a year at the beginning, it cannot be changed.
In the end, it was because of Lao Zhu's shamelessness and the promise that he would never increase Jiaofangsi's annual income again that Han Du agreed to increase it to 100,000 yuan per month.
In this way, it is equivalent to the Jiaofangsi providing 1.2 million guan of wealth to the palace every year, which is 200,000 guan more than before.
Just for these 200,000 yuan, Lao Zhu pestered Han Du for a long time before letting Han Du let go.
But now Han Du easily distributed millions of dollars to the women of Jiaofangsi, which naturally made Lao Zhu dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, these are the shipowner's money and have nothing to do with me." Han Du quickly cleared up the relationship with a smile. If Lao Zhu misunderstood, it would not be good for anyone.
And the money was indeed taken out by the shipowners. They originally provided money for the shipowners to buy goods for overseas business. Now that they have made money, they should get a share.
You didn’t contribute any money in the first place, so what’s the use of being jealous now?
Lao Zhu, however, seemed to have the ability to read minds. He glared at Han Du and said angrily, "If you had been more sensible and asked me to buy some securities, wouldn't there be dividends now?"
I am not a prophet, and I told you to buy securities in advance.
Han Du felt that there was no way to continue talking today, so he stood aside with his mouth shut, deliberately not looking at Lao Zhu.
Fortunately, Queen Ma smiled gently and helped Han Du out of trouble. "The emperor is rich in the world, why should he compete with these people for profit? Besides, it is not easy for the emperor to get a share of the huge profits of sea trade? I will ask you to prepare it. We have ships and people. There is no reason that others can I can’t do the business I do.”
Is this okay... Lao Zhu looked up at Han Du. He remembered that Han Du strongly disapproved of the court's profit from paying tribute, thinking that the court only needed to sit back and collect money, and trade matters could be left to merchants.
Han Du smiled and nodded, "It's absolutely possible. There is a huge demand for Ming Dynasty goods overseas. The ones shipped by current merchants cannot fill the huge demand overseas. If the palace can organize a fleet to go out for sea trade, whether it is for The people are still good for the palace."
"This matter needs long-term consideration." To Han Du's surprise, Lao Zhu, who was jealous of others getting rich just now, unexpectedly didn't want to talk about this issue at this time.
Although Han Du had doubts, he couldn't continue the issue at this time, so he had to follow Lao Zhu and look at the dividend meeting below.
The dividend distribution meeting was still going on, and Yao Yue walked towards her carriage with the maid and the clerk carrying the box.
That's right, the wealth of 490,000 yuan, even in treasure money, was packed in three large boxes, and it took two men to lift one box.
When Yao Yue walked halfway, she turned back and glanced at the second floor of Shibo Division. Seeing Han Du's surprised look towards her, a happy smile suddenly appeared on Yao Yue's cold face.
Just such a smile made those around her hold their breath as if they were seeing flowers blooming in spring.
"What are you looking at, young lady?" The maid next to her asked vaguely, wondering why Yao Yue stopped and tilted her head.
Just when the maid wanted to follow Yao Yue's gaze and look back, Yao Yue suddenly withdrew her gaze, as if it was just a casual glance.
"It's nothing, let's go back."
"Okay." When it came to going back, the maid was the happiest. After all, there is so much money, and if the wealth is not revealed, of course it must be taken back quickly and hidden.
The two of them hadn't taken two steps when someone rushed out and stopped in front of Yao Yue.
Seeing this, the maid quickly opened her arms to protect Yao Yue behind her like an old hen protecting her chicks.
"What do you want to do in broad daylight?"
The person who came was young, wearing a blue gown and dressed like a scholar. Although this person had taken good care of himself, from his sallow and thin figure and the fact that his long gown had been washed white, we knew that his family background must not be very good, and he was probably still very poor.
Seeing that the maid was guarding him as if she were a lewd thief, the scholar looked embarrassed and bowed his hands slowly, "Young man, this is so polite. Miss Yaoyue is famous, and I have admired him for a long time..."
The scholar spoke and bowed down. But when he raised his head, he found that Yao Yue had already passed him and walked to the back.
Seeing that he was ignored by a brothel woman, a trace of anger flashed across the scholar's face. But for his purpose, he endured it in an instant.
Putting on a smiling face, she ran to Yao Yue again and was about to speak.
"Get out!" Yao Yue opened her teeth slightly and spat out one word in disgust.
The scholar seemed not to have expected such a result, and was stunned in place.
Yao Yue also took advantage of his daze to quickly get into the carriage and close the door.
When the scholar came back to his senses, he suddenly became angry and started to curse.
However, Xiangxue, who was approached by Pingping Tingting, covered her little cherry mouth with her hands and taunted her, "Oh, that's hilarious. A toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't even urinate and look at himself. You're such a thing, I can't stand it." If you don’t like her, do you think our innocent sister Yaoyue can like you?”
"Hahaha......"
Xiangxue's words caused the people around to burst into loud laughter at the scholar.
Everyone saw the scene just now. The scholar just saw that Yao Yue was rich and wanted to take advantage. But who would have imagined that Miss Yaoyue doesn't like him at all.
Yaoyue girl is naturally beautiful and fragrant, and her admirers are like crucian carp crossing the river. Now that he has suddenly become rich, many people are naturally excited.
It's just that they are not as shameless as this poor scholar, and they dare to rush forward and stop Yao Yue in public.
Yao Yue's indifferent attitude towards this poor scholar made everyone feel happy, feeling that this was the true temperament of girl Yao Yue.
Xiangxue's words of ridicule to the scholar made them feel even more happy.
Faced with the ridicule of everyone, the scholar not only did not hide his face and walked away, but instead said to Xiangxue in a broken voice: "She is just a brothel bitch. I am innocent. If I want to marry her, I only admire her and do not know what is good or bad." "
