"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Wang Shanju hugged the treasure in his arms and almost broke his face with laughter.
"Your Excellency is most considerate of me, and I am truly grateful..."
Before Mr. Guo became minister, his family could only have one meal of meat every two days.
After Mr. Guo became minister, his family not only began to eat meat every meal.
We also started to wear silk and satin, and all kinds of chic and rich things.
"Since I know that Mr. Guo cares about you, you must do things for Mr. Guo well."
Wang Daoheng glanced at Guo Huan, and immediately lowered his voice.
"These workers should spend their money, and they must not be allowed to go out and say a word."
"Understand?"
If it reaches the emperor's ears, then everyone will simply stop living.
"understand."
Wang Shanju was not stupid, he immediately nodded and bowed.
"The wages of these workers are three times the normal wages. They also set rules and do not allow drinking or talking nonsense."
"As long as they want to make more money, they will never say a word of nonsense."
He didn't feel bad for giving him the money. Anyway, it was money, so he could print as much as he wanted.
"Yes." Guo Huan was very satisfied, then he looked at Wang Daoheng and ordered: "Leave half to prevent His Majesty from attacking Japan. How about the remaining half for each of us?"
The word "how" is very spiritual and knowledgeable when asked here.
If you give sincerely, you won’t ask how.
Asking how it is means that you don’t really want to give. How can the human spirit not understand the words?
"Master Guo, what are you talking about?"
Wang Daoheng understood instantly and immediately picked up the words Guo Huan liked to hear to make him happy.
"What I am today is all because of Mr. Guo's guidance. How can I have the nerve to get the same money as Mr. Guo?"
"Your Excellency, just watch and reward me."
Anyway, when Guo Huan was away, he just asked Wang Shanju to print some for him.
What's the big deal?
"You also have good intentions." Sure enough, Guo Huan's smile deepened after hearing this: "Then you can take 20%, and I can take 30%."
Looking back, I thought about ways to exchange the treasure notes into gold and silver. That would be the real deal.
After coming out of the Baochao Office, the streets were deserted.
After the two parted politely, Guo Huan returned to his home yawning.
The door of Guo Mansion is not new, and even has some paint peeling off and is old.
The servants at the door are also dressed in ordinary clothes, but the further you go in, the more different they become, and the materials of the servants' clothes are getting better and better.
Entering the inner courtyard, the young daughter-in-law came up to him and took off his thin cloak and the crimson official robe.
Then he changed into regular clothes, and finally handed him a cup of ginseng soup.
"Sir, Eunuch Lu in the palace has been waiting for a long time."
"I forgot about it."
When Guo Huan heard this, he immediately became energetic and went straight to the flower hall without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, his wife hurriedly followed, but she did not enter the hall.
Just sit behind the screen and listen to the two people talking.
Eunuch Lu, Lu Ai, is the godson of Lu Cheng, the eunuch in charge of Emperor Zhu's personal treasury. Tomorrow is the time for him to leave the palace to rest.
Guo Huan has been so busy recently that he forgot about this matter. He must have something nice to say.
"Mr. Guo is really a very busy man, so we can wait for him!"
As soon as he entered the flower hall, Lu Ai's high-pitched voice sounded strangely.
"Oh, Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Guo Huan immediately smiled and poured tea and handed snacks in person.
That appearance doesn't look like a second-grade official, but more like a bitch.
"The autumn harvest has just passed. I have been a little busy lately. I forgot that you are coming today. I'm really sorry for you. Please don't argue with me."
Although this guy is nothing in the palace, he still has to nod and bow to others.
But the people in the palace are the people in the palace. No matter how much the emperor dislikes them, they are still the people in the palace, and he can only be respectful.
After that, Guo Huan asked someone to bring a wad of money and handed it to Lu Ai respectfully.
"Sir, the Ru kiln tea cup you brought last time, which was used by Song Huizong, sold for 800 guan in total. This is your 500 guan."
As he said this, he took another hundred strings and fawned politely.
"The extra hundred guans should be my filial piety to Mr. Lu."
"Master Lu thinks highly of me and trusts me. This is my honor."
Of course, what he received from selling it was silver, and what he distributed to Lu Ai was treasure banknotes.
To put it bluntly, this treasure banknote is worthless in his heart, gold and silver are valuable.
Although Lu Ai is a young eunuch, he will not be fooled in vain.
So he naturally knows what the price of this thing is in the market.
He also knew in his heart that Guo Huan had not deceived him.
"I also know that Mr. Guo is busy." When Lu Ai saw Qian, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "This time, I brought the purple stone inkstone from the Song Dynasty."
The ban on entry and exit of the palace was strict, so he could only take out little by little at a time.
Otherwise, I really want to take it all out and sell it in one go.
"Okay, okay." Seeing that there was another good thing, Guo Huan felt even more happy in his heart, but he said worriedly: "Will he be discovered?"
"I don't care. It's just a cheap life. I'm just afraid that my father-in-law will be affected. If anything happens, I'm afraid I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
If there is anything, I will kill you as soon as possible, so as not to expose the secret and implicate me.
"No." Lu Ai pinched the orchid finger and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't like the complexity and extravagance of the Song Dynasty, and he is not even allowed to make dragon balls."
"I wouldn't even touch these things from Song Dynasty on weekdays."
"Besides, the other things are more expensive, so His Majesty won't pay attention to them."
After saying that, he smiled and patted Guo Huan's hand: "Taking a step back, even if there is something, I will definitely hit him to death and will not harm Mr. Guo."
There are so many eunuchs and so many things, unless they are caught and exposed.
Otherwise, how could we catch him?
But he also felt strange.
You said His Majesty is always worried about money, why doesn't he want to sell his treasure?
If you sell it, won't you not have to worry about it?
Those things, if you take any of them, it will be serious!
"That's good, that's good."
Guo Huan felt relieved and said many nice words before sending him off respectfully.
Looking at Lu Ai's back, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
What is an emperor?
The amount of money he earns in a year is not much more than the imperial court's annual tax revenue.
Guo's wife came out from behind the screen and softly expressed her confusion.
"Ms. sir, why doesn't Lu Ai sell things by himself? Why does he ask us to help him sell things and share the profits with us?"
From a business perspective, she felt it didn't make sense.
If he sells it himself, wouldn't he be able to keep all these 800 coins in his own pocket?
"Isn't this simple?"
Guo Huan was a little proud, but he still patiently explained to his wife.
"Although he is a father-in-law, he is not of high rank and does not have many connections. It would be too dangerous to pawn things from the palace. Others may report him to the official."
"So, he must cooperate with us so that he can make money with less risk."
