Although the Queen is not crazy yet, she is a little crazy.
If you want to get under Xiao Chen's bed in broad daylight, it's self-evident what you want to do.
It's like a little female bear who has just tasted the sweetness of honey. She would rather be stung by a bee and get the beloved honey.
Of course, Angelina is not a little she-bear, but a hot young girl with vampire superpowers...
Do you think Xiao Chen can bear it or not? Even if he can't bear it, he has to bear it, because he brought this on himself, so he can only say that he is tired and happy.
Even Chen Wenqi was quite surprised to see Xiao Chen again. Mr. Xiao was really refreshed after not seeing him for a few days. What kind of happy event is this?
Why did you take a concubine?
"I'm not the shameless Gong Shouli, I'm a serious eunuch!" Xiao Chen and Chen Wenqi both joked, which showed that they were in a very beautiful mood.
"Haha, this is nothing. Mr. Xiao, if you are lonely in Fengyang, you can just marry a few concubines to serve as pillows." Chen Wenqi said to me, why are you pretending to be innocent with me? Are you serious? Can a serious eunuch go to Yihongyuan?
In fact, Chen Wenqi didn't know that the emperor had also been to Yihongyuan...
The two had a big fight last time they met, and Xiao Chen almost hit the household department, so they broke up on bad terms.
But when they met this time, they were still smiling, polite, courteous, and affectionate. One offered the best tea, and the other expressed sincere thanks, as if what happened before had never happened. .
So you know how terrible it is for people who have reached their level.
However, the main reason for Chen Wenqi's change of attitude towards Xiao Chen was money. After knowing that this guy was influenced by the emperor, he reluctantly plucked out his hair and was willing to support the court with a huge sum of 5.5 million taels of silver... I finally saw your return money!
But don’t feel distressed too early, where are you now?
This is just the beginning. Next, I will pluck out all the hairs on your body one by one until you become a bald chicken, and then stew and eat your flesh.
"Master Xiao, your Xiaoji bank account is very good. Now everyone in Fengyang City is using it... How many have you issued? How much money do you have in deposit?" Chen Wenqi seemed to ask casually.
"Actually, it's not much. The original intention of establishing the bank account was to facilitate business transactions for merchants and save them from carrying money back and forth. It was not only inconvenient but also very unsafe. Later, ordinary people also found this convenient. That's why I issued some small amounts, and I didn't have any treasury money, only banknotes." Xiao Chen said.
"Master Xiao, this is no small matter. If your Xiaoji banknotes collapse, the people holding these banknotes will be in big trouble!" Chen Wenqi frowned.
"First, Xiao Ji Bank has the support of several major factories in Yanyun, so it will never collapse. Second, although Xiao Ji Bank does not have stubs of money, it does have goods mortgaged recorded in the banknotes. Third, Xiao Ji Bank has The total circulation of the ticket number is only two million taels of silver, but it is not as much as the outside world has said." Xiao Chen explained.
"Two million taels? More than that?" Chen Wenqi didn't believe it at all.
"If Mr. Chen doesn't believe it, just send someone to investigate." Xiao Chen said.
"That's not necessary. Besides, the finances of Yanyun County are not under the control of our household department, hahaha..." Chen Wenqi laughed a few times.
"Xiao Ji's banknotes are private banknotes, but they are not official Yanyun banknotes. To put it bluntly, they are just my private property, just like those major banknotes in Fengyang City." Xiao Chen also laughed apologetically, thinking You say you want to take care of it, but can you take care of it?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, then Mr. Xiao, you have made a fortune." Chen Wenqi said.
"I'm not going to hide it from you, Mr. Chen. I haven't made a big fortune. I still have some small fortunes. I dare not say more than that. I also have 1.8 million taels. Why, Mr. Chen, are you still thinking about my private property?" Xiao Chen smiled.
"Three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver!" Chen Wenqi sighed, "You, Mr. Xiao, are the governor. It is not unusual for you to get one million taels of silver in three years. It's just that you are all fat. I, from the Ministry of Household Affairs, The bank has lost weight."
"Master Chen, you know my situation. I have only lived for a few years, so what use is this money? Besides, I have no heirs. Who do you want to leave it to after I die? Isn't it all confiscated and belongs to you? The Treasury of the Ministry of Finance! I also know that the emperor is in urgent need of money, but he doesn’t dare to take it out now... Otherwise, I’m afraid he won’t be able to live for a few more years.”
What Xiao Chen said was true.
If he donated his money, he would of course get the emperor's approval, but he would immediately become the target of public criticism!
You, Xiao Chen, have only been governor for three years, and you already have one million taels of silver. How much should the governors of other counties in the Zhou Dynasty have?
You, Xiao Chen, generously donated all your money, but will you donate the money of the other officials?
Therefore, if Xiao Chen dares to do such a stupid thing that risks the disapproval of the world, it is tantamount to seeking death.
"That's not what I meant." Of course Chen Wenqi knew the stakes. "It's just that I've finished my words. Mr. Xiao is still willing to tell the truth to me... Maybe you won't believe that I have been an official for many years, except for the salary from the court." , and some charcoal and ice jing that I had to collect after entering Beijing, there is nothing else."
"Master Chen is an upright official. I think you should go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and rectify our official administration in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Xiao Chen said, "These words are not meant to ridicule Master, but are spoken from the bottom of my heart."
"Sigh... No one can rectify the current official administration." Chen Wenqi let out a long sigh.
Chen Wenqi's mood was bleak, Xiao Chen was silent, and the two of them were speechless.
In fact, both of them admired each other quite a bit. Xiao Chen knew that Chen Wenqi was indeed an upright official and quite capable. When he took over the household department, it was a mess, but it only took him a few years to clean up the wells. Orderly.
From losses and deficits over the years to a slight surplus now, it really took a lot of hard work on his part. For a person who is less than fifty years old, most of his hair is already gray.
Chen Wenqi also believes that Xiao Chen is a rare all-round talent, and it is not an exaggeration to even say that he is a pillar of talent! I used to think that he just had some literary talents, but later I found out that he was also very good at leading troops in battles. He was a man of both literary and military skills.
Not only was he good at civil and military affairs, he also knew how to govern local areas. He managed to turn the barren and cold Yanyun County into Jiangnan County in just three years!
I'm afraid no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can match this level of ability! And he is extremely good at foreign affairs, and can also solve various difficult problems quickly.
If he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the great Zhou Dynasty, he will definitely become the emperor's right-hand man. Without him, I, Chen Wenqi, can only be the right-hand man.
It's a pity that he is too unruly and unruly, even the emperor has a hard time controlling him, so...
After leaving the Ministry of Household Affairs, I went to the Ministry of War, where I was warmly welcomed by Master Lu Jing, who served me tea, poured water, asked about my welfare, and invited guests to dinner.
Xiao Chen said that I have been back for several days and I haven't seen Mr. Lu being polite to me. Now that I have brought you something, you immediately became so enthusiastic. It shows that people are cold and warm, and the world is cold and cold. It really makes me feel sad. So timid!
