"Your Highness, I see, the flowers and trees in the back garden have not been taken care of for a long time. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to tidy them all up at once!"
Chao Cuo was still minding his own business.
Liu Qi's face was getting more and more ugly. Did he, the master, experience any stimulation after going to Dai Country?
Or is it that this old boy broke his head while riding in a carriage on the way?
"Master's suggestion is of course good, but if it comes to this, it will cost a lot of money. I'm afraid it won't be possible without hundreds of thousands of copper coins..."
Liu Qi said a little depressed.
"This is because I am confused..."
Chao Cuo suddenly remembered that the most important thing was that he hadn’t spoken yet!
"It's no wonder, Master, it's really me, the prince, who acted like a loser..."
Liu Qi said with a long sigh, "It's true. Those who know me say I am worried, but those who don't know me say what I want."
Who would have thought that the majestic prince of Han Dynasty would worry so much about a leaking house.
Even among the princes of princes and kings, which one is not living a free and easy life now?
The imperial court is not short of money to repair the East Palace, but that old guy Zhang Cang just refuses to let go.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. I already have a solution to this matter. Your Highness, please take a look!"
After Chao Cuo finished speaking, he quickly handed the contract Liu Deng gave him to Liu Qi.
"What is this?"
Liu Qi took it casually and asked curiously.
"This is a letter of agreement from His Highness the King. Your Highness is kind enough to convert all the salt and silver sent by His Highness into shares of the Salt Lake. From now on, His Highness alone will monopolize 40% of the Salt Lake." produce!"
Chao Cuo said enthusiastically.
"But what's the use of this? Sir, it's not like he doesn't know that Lao Linyu in this pass is coming soon. Even if his salt lake has production, it will be a few years later. Within this year, is it possible? Can I still make money? I, the majestic Crown Prince, can’t use this letter of engagement to find someone to lend money to me, right? If this is really the case, I will lose all the face of the royal family..."
Liu Qi said a little depressed.
"Your Highness, can you see clearly what's behind? You don't have to wait until next year, you already have your first child now. Your Highness, the King of Dai Wang, even asked the minister to bring you part of the proceeds, just to solve your urgent need!"
It seemed that he didn't speak clearly, Chao Cuo said quickly.
"Oh? I wonder how much sir brought back?"
Hearing what Chao Cuo said, Liu Qi immediately became energetic. If he could really bring back some money, even if it was only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, plus what he had in his hand, he could finally fool him this time.
"Your Highness, you might as well take a guess!"
Seeing Liu Qi's interested expression, Chao Cuo suddenly became interested and actually gave it up.
"Sir, are you testing me? This country is already poor. Even if it has production now, it is busy fighting with those princes and kings. In total, it shouldn't be much. I think it's only four. It looks like fifty thousand guan!"
Liu Qi hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Your Highness, you might as well guess again and guess further!"
Liu Qi was a little helpless about Chao Cuo's bad taste. If it weren't for the fact that this old guy was his teacher, he would have gone up and slapped him.
"Is it more than 100,000 yuan? How much money did I send him in total? Could it be that he sent it all back to me again?"
Liu Qi was a little surprised. The contract was sent to him. If he returned the money, wouldn't it become a bribe to him?
If it's just for these hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's really not worth carrying such a name. You can't do things like this. Why is this master so confused this time!
"Your Highness is still a little too petty. Your Highness might as well make another guess!"
WTF?
You've already returned all the damn things, and you're still so petty?
Liu Qi was immediately confused. Could it be that he could do anything fancy?
As for Daiguo, who is so poor, even if he brings all the treasury to himself, he will only be able to get three to four hundred thousand guan at most.
But if he moves all the treasury to himself, what will the people of his country do? You can't all go to your own house to make ends meet.
"Let's tell your Highness, Your Highness, please listen carefully. In just these few days, the profit you have shared is a total of 600,000 taels of silver, and it is all high-quality snowflake silver. Now General Li Guang is escorting it. It is expected that we will be able to arrive early tomorrow morning, so I came back specially to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to clean up the bank account first!"
Chao Cuo said as if offering a treasure.
"Oh, it's only six hundred thousand taels."
Liu Qi said subconsciously.
"Wait a minute, sir, how much did you just say? Six hundred thousand? Silver?"
"belch--"
Liu Qi almost missed it, but Chao Cuo rushed forward and slapped Liu Qi's back continuously to help him calm down.
"Sir, did you really not trick me? How could he? Even if he sells Dai Guo now, he can't have so much money, right?"
Now it was Liu Qi's turn to be in disbelief. Dai's country had always been poor. Of course, this was also due to the terrain. There was not much land in the first place, plus the annexation of princes and kings over the years.
There was rebellion by the Huns in the north, and exploitation by many princes and kings in the south. In addition, natural disasters had continued over the years. It was a rare good life for the people of this generation to have two meals of wild vegetable porridge every day.
How could he possibly get so much money for himself?
According to the current exchange rate of the imperial court, 600,000 taels of silver is equivalent to nearly one million copper coins!
This is really incredible!
"Your Highness, please listen to what I said in detail. I never thought that this generation of king Liu Deng would be an extraordinary talent. In the past, when I saw him, I only thought that he was submissive and seemed unworthy of his responsibilities. But I never expected that, His ability to turn things upside down is really jaw-dropping!"
Liu Deng himself didn't expect that Chao Cuo would think so highly of him.
"With all the changes, is it possible that he can still extract money from the hands of those princes and kings?"
Hearing what Chao Cuo said, Liu Qi immediately became energetic.
Trapped in the city of Chang'an every day, standing under his father's skin every day, and now that the queen has fallen out of favor, and his two favorites keep applying eye drops to him day and night, what he, the prince, does is to be cautious and cautious.
Of course he loved listening to this kind of ups and downs.
"Your Highness, please listen to me in detail!"
