Unsurprisingly, Zhu Di had the same idea as Zheng He. They were worthy of being a close monarch and minister. Moreover, Xu Qin realized that it was not only the problem of these two people, but also that most civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty probably thought this way.
Face is far more important than the life and death of the people of Ming Dynasty. This is the vanity of the Celestial Kingdom. He knew he couldn't reverse it on his own.
It's not that no one understands it, it's just that everyone doesn't want to do this thankless thing.
Chairman Zhu is so face-saving, but the people below him are silent. After ten years of hard work, I can't afford to lose my official position over this matter.
But Xu Qin is not afraid, whether I have official love or not, I am going for beautiful women. If you lose it, just lose it, don’t care.
Even if I lie down, I still can't bear to see these grandsons gathering wool in the Ming Dynasty.
After completing the procedure of thanking him, Xu Qin spoke.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Eunuch Zheng brought back some overseas specialties from his trip to sea this time? I wonder if I can leave it to you," Xu Qin said.
He is now the host and guest doctor. Although he has no right to dispose of the overseas specialties brought back by Zheng He, he is in charge of the tribute reception and can barely get involved.
You can't help but take advantage of this. After paying off your debts, you won't have much money left. You haven’t married yet, and you have so many concubines. Don’t you need money?
"You're late. Those things have been handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for processing." Zhu Di said without caring at all and directly rejected his request.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's wealth and has no time to deal with such trivial matters. If you say it, it will make people laugh. Moreover, I have your Majesty's trust. I am in charge of the host and guest department, so handling these things can be considered targeted."
Xu Qin said plausibly.
Zhu Di didn't raise his head, but he was calculating in his heart. The people in the household department have complained about this matter, because the things are too complicated to deal with, and they are time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Now there is a boss rushing to deal with it, which also frees up the Ministry of Accounts to do some serious things.
But this kid is like a loach, too slippery to agree too happily. And there must be something fishy about him being so enthusiastic.
"The words are cunning and no good comes from it. Tell the truth." Zhu Di concluded that he was lying without raising his head.
Xu Qin was pinched to death. But that didn't stop him from making money. Nothing from overseas is worthless.
He expected those bureaucrats to take care of it, and instead of enriching their own pockets, he cut off his head and played it as a football for them.
"If I dare to be cunning under your command, you will see through it immediately with your sharp eyes. This time I really want to relieve the country's worries, so I can practice my skills by the way." Xu Qin said flatteringly.
"Hey, it's good to know. It's not necessary to share the worries for the country. I think you are planning to line your own pockets. The Ministry of Revenue has calculated that the batch of things is about one hundred thousand taels. If you are missing a word, I will ask you to settle the account."
Zhu Di put down his pen, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Xu Qin thought quickly in his mind that even if the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Revenue had a bottom line, they would still make at least 10,000 taels of profit. This is equivalent to taking food from the tiger's mouth.
But who makes me have a good life? The Duke of Wei, what can they do if they bully a few petty officials below?
"Your Majesty, I will give 100,000 taels directly to the Ministry of Revenue. I bought it as a minister. Whether you make a profit or lose the rest depends on luck." Xu Qin settled the matter.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di looked up at him. There is definitely something wrong with this guy being so enthusiastic.
"One hundred and ten thousand taels, the Ministry of Revenue will pay the money to pick up the goods." Zhu Di thought for a while and said.
Xu Qin was a little worried when he heard this, and thought to himself, Lao Zhu, you are so cruel, you just cut off my profits. If you don't do it right, you'll suffer a loss.
"Your Majesty, why are you still raising prices? I'm not making any money." Xu Qin said with a sad face.
"Aren't you worried about the separation of the country? How dare you negotiate a business with me? One hundred and ten thousand, go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to pick up the goods. How dare you regret letting you go out today?"
Zhu Di's voice was very soft, but very domineering, giving him no chance to bargain.
Xu Qinxin said, isn't this bad luck? You can't lose the rice by stealing the chicken. This matter needs to be settled at the Ministry of Accounts as soon as possible.
If the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Revenue knew that they had bought that batch of goods, they might not have done anything wrong, and the shortfall was only minor, then they would really have lost money.
Xu Qin looked up at the sky. There was a system for people to travel through time, and they gave him a golden finger. How come I have such a boss who doubts me anytime and anywhere without telling me, but is so sure of it?
The ancients were not easy to fool. If the Internet was not as developed in later generations and exposed to massive amounts of information, I would be fooled to death in this era. Zhu Di conquered ten meetings with one force.
Let Xu Fugui go home to collect the banknotes, and take someone and a car to the household department to pay the money and pick up the things.
He was quite reluctant at first and arrived at the Ministry of Finance listlessly. However, the answer from the Ministry of Finance made him feel refreshed.
"Young Master, I can't give this to you because all these things have been sold to others. I'll pick them up soon. I'm sorry to make your trip in vain."
Yuxing, a member of the household department, stopped him directly.
When Xu Qin heard this, he was relieved at first. It wasn't that he didn't give the money, but that the household department was quick. Chairman Zhu can't blame himself.
He was about to turn around and leave, then stopped. He himself is not a good person, so he naturally does not think of others as good people.
"How much did it cost?" Xu Qin asked.
"Go back to the young master and sell it for 100,000 taels. It's the same as the estimate." Yuxing said politely.
Xu Qin turned around and came back.
"I will pay 110,000 taels, and this is the price set by His Majesty. So leave the things to me." Xu Qin shook his head as he said this, and Xu Fugui immediately put the banknote on the table.
"No, young master, if you had come here a quarter or three earlier, this matter would have been absolutely fine. But it can't be done now. It's a matter of the court's credibility and face. So please come back."
Yuxing said very politely, which sounded reasonable. The price difference of 10,000 taels and the court's reputation are naturally more important.
But Xu Qin believed him. The bad old man with triangular eyes and goatee in front of him was very bad. If there was nothing fishy here, he would use the old man's beard as a leek to make dumplings.
"Since ancient times, the one who sells the goods at the highest price will get it. Moreover, according to His Majesty's will, you have added an additional ten thousand taels to the court. Even if the buyer comes to you, he will have an explanation."
Xu Qin stared at the old man's triangular eyes and reasoned aggressively. He really tried to reason, giving the other party both reason and steps.
"Young Master, I will naturally explain to your majesty that the reputation of the imperial court cannot be bought with ten thousand taels. I believe your majesty can understand. So this matter ends here. Please come back."
Yuxing also hardened up, showing the character of a scholar who looked down on the powerful. Sounds very reasonable.
Xu Qin, who was originally unhappy, was now so excited that he just danced on the spot. How do you say that?
If you have 50% profit, you will take desperate risks; if you have 100% profit, you will dare to trample on all laws in the world.
He decisively judged that the profit from this guy's attitude was at least 50%, which was 50,000 taels. Damn you.
"You are so shameless. I want to ask you one last time whether I will give it to you or not." Xu Qin lost his patience and exposed his true nature as a bully.
"Kuaidi, this is the important place of the imperial court, how can I let you, a yellow-tongued person, speak arrogantly? Does it mean that the prince of Wei Guogong can be lawless? I want to file a complaint..."
Yu Xing raised his arms and shouted indignantly, but unfortunately, his small frame was really not enough in front of Xu Qin. Xu Qin simply thought he was a fly.
However, his voice summoned many people, and officials of all sizes from the Ministry of Revenue rushed over. Be able to stick together at critical moments.
They all showed their arms and rolled up their sleeves, glaring at Xu Qin angrily. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were indeed good at fighting.
"Get out..." Yuxing pointed at the door and said.
Xu Qin looked back at the team he led. They were all burly men. Looking at the person in front of him again, he took a step back.
Yuxing thought Xu Qin was intimidated by his firmness and righteousness, so he immediately stepped forward and pressed forward.
The group of household officials behind them also stepped forward with their heads held high. Today they will use their strength to suppress you, the powerful dandy of the Duke of Wei. After this battle, there was also good talk in Yingtian Mansion.
How could you miss this opportunity to stand out and gain a reputation as someone who is not afraid of the powerful? So these people are brave and high-spirited.
It was as if a sage possessed him for a moment. Especially Yuxing's old face with triangular eyes and goatee, it seems that his majesty lasts forever.
Xu Fugui gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently. But he is a bitch, and there is nothing he can do if his master is scared.
Seeing the young Duke take a step back, he couldn't help but feel frustrated and frustrated. He said in his heart that these civil servants were more difficult to deal with than dogs, and it would be wise not to offend them.
"Don't slap me in the face..." Xu Qin said, holding his butt.
He was afraid of having his butt touched.
"What?" Xu Fugui asked doubtfully.
Then he saw acquiescence in Xu Qin's eyes. At that moment Xu Fugui's blood was burning, and at that moment his eyes were red.
The Duke of Wei has been aggrieved for too long and doesn't care about the consequences.
Pa...ah...
Xu Fugui whipped out a whip, followed by a scream. Then all the people who were brought rushed over.
Xu Qin quickly backed away. The injury on his butt was not healed yet. It would hurt to death if he touched it.
The official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty paid attention to the appearance of animals. The birds on the chest were civilian officials, and the beasts were military attachés.
The entire household is full of birds and beasts. The people in Wei Guogong's family have all been on the battlefield, and a group of ferocious beasts beat a group of sheep. Although the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty also had combat effectiveness.
It's just that there is no way to fight against these old veteran ruffians. A quarter of an hour later, there were no household officials standing in the room.
Yuxing covered his face and squatted on the ground crying, not because he was wronged, but because he was slapped on the nose by Xu Fugui's whip. He couldn't hold back the tears and nosebleeds.
Xu Fugui had already saved his strength, otherwise his nose would fly off.
"Young Master, I didn't hear what you just said." Xu Fugui asked excitedly, as if he still had something to say.
"Whatever I say is useless, I'll beat him. Hurry up and move your things home." Xu Qin said angrily.
"Hey, please slow down, the injury on your butt is not healed yet." Xu Fugui said, supporting him in a very helpless manner.
The people from the Duke of Wei's mansion moved their things into the car, checked the account books and walked away.
When only Xu Fugui and Xu Qin were left, the loser showed fear.
"Young Master, you robbed the household department. This is right under the emperor's nose. Isn't it going to cause a big fuss?" Xu Fugui asked with a guilty conscience.
"Didn't you fight fiercely just now? Why are you scared now when you think about it?" Xu Qin teased him.
"Young Master, I can't help it when I see how angry you are. Not to mention beating him, I dare to kill him. But if I do this and implicate you, it will be a sin." Xu Fugui looked like he was loyal to his master.
"Hurry up and find someone knowledgeable to evaluate this batch of goods. The more expensive this batch of goods is, the safer we will be. If this batch of goods is worth only one hundred thousand taels, we will be in big trouble."
Xu Qin said. But he still believed in his own feelings. How could there be so much character in the world.
As a qualified bitch, Xu Fugui immediately understood the meaning. The young prince concluded that the Hubu gang had deceived the emperor.
If this batch of goods exceeds 100,000 taels, not only will the Ministry of Revenue not dare to cause trouble, but it may also be frightened. Because now, His Majesty is not easy to deceive.
Otherwise a large number of people will die.
"Young Master, don't worry. Even if this batch of goods is not worth much, we will make it worth a lot. If you don't believe it, you won't scare these bastards to death."
Xu Qin pouted towards Hu Bu and said.
Xu Qin's eyes lit up, there was such an operation.
