In the end, after some bargaining between the two parties and the mediation of the surrounding ministers, the agreement between the two was finally settled.
The Ministry of War can give up the secret pavilion.
But correspondingly, after taking over, Ye Feng must completely control the Ange: he does not need funding from the court, and at the same time, he must make up for the shortfall of the Ministry of War in maintaining the Ange over the years.
The Ministry of War will organize this part of the lost money, and then the six ministries will prove it, and Ange will turn over 10 billion every year until it is replenished.
If Ye Feng fails to fulfill the above agreement, then the Ministry of War has the right to take back the secret pavilion at any time.
Witnessed by the cabinet ministers, the two signed and signed the agreement, which came into effect immediately.
After signing, Wei Buci, Minister of the Ministry of War, was still unwilling to give up, and even had some regrets. It was just that the situation was a bit overwhelming and there was no room for him to say no or cheat.
But when I think about it, the secret pavilion that I finally built will now be handed over to others. Even if the other party pays for it, the Ministry of War will actually lose.
But then I thought about it again. Without the secret cabinet, it can save hundreds of billions of expenses every year, which is also a good thing.
After all, for the Ministry of War, the Dark Pavilion was only in name but in reality, and it had become a burden over time.
If you are willing to give up, you will gain.
Wei Buci, the Minister of War, soon figured it out and was relieved.
But for Ye Feng, although it costs a lot, there are many ways to raise this huge sum of money. The most important thing is to get the talents from the Ange, which will be of great use to him in the future.
"Ye Feng!" Wei Buji urged, "Hurry up and get the money, it's 100 billion, not a penny less!"
Anyway, the signature has been signed, and it is useless to talk more. It would be better to get the money back as soon as possible, and it would be good to get some blood back.
"Within a week!" Ye Feng said, "I will hand over 100 billion in full and buy out the Ange!"
One week! ?
When Wei Buci heard this, he secretly regretted it. After all, the incident happened suddenly. If he had known earlier, he should have restricted the time for paying the money.
"Oh, I want to see it!" Wei Buci still looked distrustful, "Where are you going to get these 100 billion in just one week! Don't take risks and embark on the path of breaking the law! "
Wei Buci immediately decided in his heart that during this week, he would send someone to closely watch Ye Feng's every move, monitor every fund in his account, and see where he raised this huge sum of money.
This sentence also reminded Kong Youwei on the side that he was really afraid that Ye Feng would do something extraordinary because of this, which would really outweigh the gain.
For example, Ye Feng used his authority to levy and extort money in the Nanyang area. He was indeed able to raise hundreds of billions of funds in a short period of time. However, in doing so, he would leave a clue that the Ministry of War and even the cabinet would not sit idly by.
"Junior brother." Kong Youwei said with some worry, "Can you tell me where you went to raise so much money? Is one week enough? If not, don't force it, or our household department can help you first. Put some padding on it.”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Buci immediately quit: "Old Kong, you can't do this. Your Ministry of Household Affairs pays for it. What does this mean? That's not how the money in the treasury is used! How can you use public funds to satisfy individuals? Self-interest?"
"Isn't there no interest?" Kong Youwei retorted, "No matter who manages the secret pavilion, they are all serving the imperial court. Why do you think you are so clear about it?"
"That's not possible!" Wei Buji took the contract and shouted, "No one is allowed to pay for this money, let alone the money from the treasury! You are not allowed to borrow it! It must be Ye Feng's own!"
Everyone nodded silently, how could a public weapon be used for private use, and the treasury's money should be used to pay for others?
At the same time, of course no one would pay for Ye Feng, and no one could afford it.
I'm afraid it would be possible to realize such a large sum of money only by ransacking King Jiangnan's house.
Wei Buci's words were equivalent to cutting off all possibilities for Ye Feng to raise money.
"Don't worry, senior brother." Ye Feng said, "I have my own way to raise this money!"
"How?" Kong Youwei asked curiously. "Should we go to the bank to borrow money, or should we go to private financing?"
The only two ways Kong Youwei could think of to raise money as quickly as possible were these two.
"It won't be so troublesome." Ye Feng continued, "In a few days, I will go directly to the West to ask for money!"
