"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Li Wanjiang was greatly surprised when he heard this, "Where is the land she wants to sell?"
"Alaska," Xiao Chen said, "I know that place, but I'm not young or old! It's much bigger than the three places in Yanyun County, Gaoju, Liyizhou combined!"
"Alaska..." Li Wanjiang frowned, "I also know that place. It is a barren and barren land. I heard that it is covered with ice and snow for most of the year, and even crops cannot be grown. I want to What’s that shabby place for?”
"Your Majesty, you can't say that. Although crops are not easy to grow, there are still many good things. For example, there are many trees and a lot of coal resources. In addition, this place is surrounded by coastal areas on three sides, and the fishery is also quite developed. It's just the port. It's not easy, but we can rebuild it..." Xiao Chen said.
"How much money does she plan to ask for?" Li Wanjiang interrupted Xiao Chen.
"That Valova said she wanted fifteen million taels, but she asked for a lot of money. We can do it right there..." Xiao Chen said.
"How much?" Li Wanjiang's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Fifteen hundred...ten thousand taels." Xiao Chen was startled and thought to himself, Your Majesty, are you trying to bite me?
"Isn't this a joke on me?" Li Wanjiang said, "It's just such a shabby place, and it costs fifteen million taels of silver! Is Angelina deceived by the lard, or does she think I'm being taken advantage of?"
"Your Majesty, fifteen million taels is a very good deal to buy such a large piece of land! Besides, she is asking for an exorbitant price. We can pay the money back on the spot. I thought that ten million or at most eleven million would be enough. Come on, this is a good deal, Your Majesty, after passing this village there will be no such store. If they turn around and regret it..."
"They still regret it?" Li Wanjiang said, "If I buy it, I will regret it, and I will never buy it!"
"Your Majesty, please listen to me, this is really a good deal for him..." Xiao Chen really thought it was a good deal, and it was really for his own good to persuade Li Wanjiang to buy it.
"You don't need to say more. I will never be accurate on this matter. Even if I am, the big guys will never agree. I just want to go to court. You should go with me and listen to what they say." Li Wanjiang said.
At the court meeting, Li Wanjiang mentioned this matter, and as expected, everyone strongly opposed it. Are you kidding me, the Queen?
Just say that this miserable place in Alaska was given to us for free and we didn’t even want it, and it even asked for 15 million taels of silver!
Sure enough, the queen is still young, she can actually think of such childish things...
Or Xiao Chen, you heard it wrong without an interpreter present?
You must have heard wrong, because this is simply unreasonable!
"Believe me, I heard it right." Xiao Chen said, "This is already a very, very low price. In fact, if we buy it, it will definitely be..."
Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, the crowd became excited. If not Xiao Chen, who do you belong to?
Please pay attention to your stance in front of the emperor!
How can you still speak for Ross? You...
Did your kid fall into her beauty trap after seeing how good-looking Queen Angelina is?
We don't like to talk about your little eunuch being very flirtatious and lustful when he was a eunuch, but you can't be confused on such a big issue of principle!
Fortunately, our emperor is wise. If you really want to spend money to buy that piece of rags after being deceived by you, even if the national law allows you, we will never let you go, you little traitor!
"Alas... you people have no foresight!" Xiao Chen is worried to death. His good intentions are not rewarded, and his good words are not pleasant to hear. I have good thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but you are constantly using them. The water was put out!
"Xiao Chen, don't talk nonsense. Please be aware that you are rude to me. You just say that we have no foresight. Why did you even bring the emperor with you?" Wang Anbang said sternly.
"My dear, please be patient." Li Wanjiang said with a smile, "I know that Xiao Chen didn't mean it this way. He also had his own opinion. When he said it, we all discussed it together. As for whether it was right or not, I will bear with him."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xiao Chen stopped talking. I have said everything that needs to be said. You won't be able to blame me when you figure it out in the future.
You bastards will regret it to death if you don't take advantage of it!
"Actually, if it were one million taels or even two million taels, I might have agreed, but ten million taels is just a joke." Li Wanjiang said, "Besides, if we gave them such a large sum of money, wouldn't we also be raising tigers?" Suspected of causing trouble?"
After hearing this, everyone said that the emperor was wise, far-sighted, foresighted, able to see the subtle things, see the essence through the phenomenon, and explain the root cause in one sentence, isn't that what it is?
Don't say it's not worth buying, raising tigers is a disaster, let's just say that we can't afford such a sum of money now. How many serious things can we do with ten million taels from this good guy...
When Jiang Musheng took office in Fengyang Mansion, there was a vacancy in Haining Mansion. When Li Wanjiang summoned Jiang Musheng alone, he casually asked him who could succeed him?
Jiang Musheng also seemed to mention Chen Ziang casually. Li Wanjiang didn't say anything at the time, but turned around and asked Li Qiu for his opinion. Of course, Li Qiu supported Chen Ziang. The emperor didn't ask him and didn't tell him. Since he asked, the minister would talk about him... …
Within a few days, the officials issued a letter and appointed Chen Zi'ang as the prefect of Haining. In fact, Lin Dongyang approached Chen Ziang after he was released from prison and wanted to take him to Langya County, but Li Qiu and Xiao Chen refused.
Chen Ziang was originally your subordinate, Lin Dongyang, and he resigned because of you. Now if you re-employ him and take him with you, it seems that you are forming a clique for personal gain. Besides, we still have use for this person. You can find someone else. Lin Dongyang is the one. Give up.
But he said that Shu Tongwen, who had a good relationship with Lin Dongyang in the imperial edict, heard that Lin Dongyang had become the governor of Langya again. He was very happy to celebrate and told the jailers that he would be leaving soon...
Sure enough, within half a month, he was acquitted and appointed as Langya.
These were the things that were discussed in today's meeting. Xiao Chen had known about them for a long time. He felt bored listening to them. He felt sleepy and fell into confusion.
He suddenly woke up when he heard Gong Shouli shouting to retreat from the court. It was such a sweet sleep.
When they got home, they saw the fat man sitting in his room admiring the pile of things they bought at the ghost market. Xiao Chen said that Xiao Yu would lose everything, but could Xiao Yu really lose it? Brought them all back.
The fat man was playing with a porcelain cup in his hand, looking very obscene as he fumbled with it.
"Are you complaining to the emperor?" The fat man could think of what Xiao Chen was doing with his nose. "Did you succeed?"
"He went a little too violently. He didn't think about it. He forgot that he was his biological father. How could he not favor his son?" Xiao Chen said, "How are you following me?"
"After following you for a while, I felt bored and came back." The fat man put down the porcelain and said deeply, "Actually, after you left, I calmed down and thought about it, and I felt that if Valova and Li Feng were really well, I would still be happy for her. "
"True?" Xiao Chen was surprised. After such a short absence, Fatty, your state of mind has actually sublimated!
