Yaoji didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all and treated it calmly: "Queen, please don't worry, this matter is just like barbecue. The original ingredients are replaced with the fairy method, and it will have a different flavor. Gong Prince Consort also knows a little bit about poetry and calligraphy. "My literary talent is quite good. After my son's guidance, I've become enlightened. I think it's not that difficult to run this new newspaper. The queen mother can just wait for the good news!"
The general framework has been added up for you, and the content that needs to be filled in has been explained. If you can't even recruit people to make samples, Gong Yonggu can just stay at home and don't think about the good business of making money. .
Empress Zhou thought for a moment and believed that this was indeed the case. Although Brother Hong had been unruly in dealing with things since he woke up, he was also very sensible. She felt relieved and mentioned another matter: "Well, I don't know why Brother Hong keeps insisting. Let Zhang Guoyuan be in charge of the Food Supervisor?"
The Shangshan Supervisor was the place where royal meals were made, so carelessness was not allowed. After Du Xun was beheaded, the beautiful mother wanted her own eunuchs to manage it, thereby directly controlling the meals of the entire palace. But the son pushed his subordinate up, which made Queen Zhou very unhappy, so she still wanted to ask clearly.
Yao Ji looked at Xi'er, who had been staying by his beautiful mother's side, and asked with a wicked smile: "I dare to ask my mother, if it were Sister Xi'er who was in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor, if something happened, the queen would be willing to sacrifice Xi'er. My son and sister cut off their heads to show off to the public?"
"This..." Queen Zhou did not expect her son to ask such a question, so she had to hesitate in order to give an answer that would satisfy both parties.
Yaoji didn't wait for the beautiful mother to reply, and named the most powerful one: "I'm afraid the queen mother won't be able to part with her, right? Likewise, the son and minister can't let go of sister Xi'er either, hehe!"
If something happens to your person, you have to handle it as appropriate.
Now Zhang Guoyuan is in charge of Shangshan Supervisor. Anyone found guilty of any crime can be dragged out and beheaded.
As the saying goes, kill without blinking an eye and strike without mercy.
If you are indecisive about the royal meal, sooner or later someone will kill your whole family.
Besides, what a pity it would be to drag a girl with such a big ball and a fat butt out and chop her down!
The maid next to the Queen was so smart. Xi'er suddenly understood that the Crown Prince pities her very much and would never kill her even for an example, so she hurriedly knelt down and said, "I kneel down to thank Your Highness. I am willing to serve Your Highness for the rest of my life. Don’t dare to have any second thoughts.”
Seeing the giant ball girl kneeling on the ground to express her gratitude, Yaoji couldn't help but feel funny. He didn't intend to win people's hearts, so this was a mistake. One day, I will take her to my palace and become a model...
Empress Zhou also knew that after returning from Brother Xun's fairy world, she seemed to be completely reborn. Although she was younger in stature, her speech and behavior were more like an adult, and she already had some of her father's charm.
Brother Xun's words were somewhat calculated. If something happened to the Shangshan Supervisor under his supervision, he would not be able to escape the blame. He might as well leave it to Fang Gongqian, so he had no choice but to drop the matter and said angrily: "Okay. , Okay, get up, Brother Xun’s words still made the Queen inexplicably sentimental."
Empress Zhou also noticed that Brother Xun seemed to be more concerned about Xi'er, and he was still looking up and down from time to time, indicating that he was already thinking about the relationship between a man and a woman. If the time is right, you can also give it to Brother Xun to do your bidding, but you still have to observe it secretly for a few days before you can make a final decision.
Regardless of whether the story about the fairy world and fairies is true or not, Empress Zhou plans to appoint several loyal maids to serve her son in his daily life. If he is left to be served by eunuchs for a long time, when Brother Xun comes of age, he may be reused like Emperor Xizong like Wei Zhongxian, which would be a disaster.
At this time, Li Jizhou and Su Yan, the female official of Kunning Palace, entered the palace to report that the purple gold bonds issued in the palace had been summarized and counted.
Su Yan's figure is not as plump as Liu Xi'er, but she is also quite tall. She is not as fragile as the queen. After many years of training in the palace, her behavior has become capable, neat, generous and decent, no different from a senior eunuch.
After applying heavy makeup and lightly applying make-up, her pure and lovely fair face, coupled with her straight nose and slightly convex cheekbones, made her appear delicate and yet heroic. The lovely childishness of the girl has faded away, exuding the charm of these beautiful women.
After Su Yan bowed and saluted, she raised her red lips and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness the Queen and Your Highness the Prince, as of now, a total of 1,839,700 taels of purple gold bonds have been sold, of which the five-year term is Seven hundred and sixty-eight thousand, two hundred taels, and the ten-year period is one million, seventy-one thousand, five hundred taels.”
Empress Zhou had just been in a good mood while chatting with her son, and she was immediately swept away by this report. She never expected that these slaves, who usually had low eyebrows, would act so boldly. If Brother Xang hadn't used the strategy of killing chickens to scare monkeys, she would still have been In the dark.
In order to raise a million taels of silver, my husband was melancholy all day long, had trouble sleeping and eating, and had numerous arguments with noble ministers at court meetings. He never thought that this man worth tens of thousands of taels would be beside him, following him day and night. Thinking of this, Queen Zhou was really angry and resentful.
Under the emperor's feet, he is taking bribes without any law. Where is the Holy One?
At first, I was thinking of excusing him, which was really ridiculous. I really misjudged these dogs.
Yaoji took the booklet Li Jizhou brought up and opened it. It clearly listed the amount of bonds purchased by Wang Chengen, which was as high as 50,000 taels. He chuckled and sighed: "This is Wang Chengen!"
The majority were actually dozens of scared-to-the-pee senior eunuchs, such as Wang Chengen, who was willing to go bankrupt in order to save his own head, and the land purchased was covered by ten-year bonds. Presumably there is a twenty-year term, and he will buy it in full.
Of course, this amount of money is nothing compared to Wang Zhen, the great eunuch in the Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Jin, the super powerful eunuch of the Zhengde Dynasty. However, according to the salary standards of the inner court, the fourth-grade governor's attendant could only earn eight taels of silver, eight dou of rice, and public money every month. Accepting such a huge sum of money was enough to push him out.
The issuance of Zijin Bonds is a combination of kindness and power, giving these people a way to survive and letting everyone understand that as long as they are willing to pay, His Royal Highness will not kill them all. Those who are knowledgeable will naturally spend money to ward off disasters. Those who pretend to be ignorant can find Gao Qiqian as companions. There is no limit to the number.
As one of the actual power-sharing gangs in the inner court, it is impossible to avoid the gray income of senior eunuchs. Therefore, it is better to block it than to open it up, and it is better to guide them to spend their money in the right place. The interest here in Yaoji is not high, but once the bond expires, it will be pure money if you take it out again.
There are definitely not a few people who use purple gold bonds to launder their own money, and Yaoji will not point it out because there is no need. If you support His Highness the Crown Prince to tide over the difficulties, then His Highness the Crown Prince will appropriately provide you with certain benefits. This kind of benefit is something that no one can obtain no matter what. It is mutually beneficial to both parties.
Leaving aside this guy who can fire cannons, Yaoji asked his followers again: "How much did the ones around me buy?"
The eunuchs around the prince were not as good as those around the emperor, empress, and empress dowager, but they were not cash-strapped either.
Even if he put it in the book, Li Jizhou would never forget this matter: "Your Majesty, Zhang Guoyuan bought 10,000 taels, Yang Jinchao bought 10,000 taels, and the servant also bought 10,000 taels. When the slave sells the house outside, it will be determined Use all the money you get to buy this purple gold bond!"
The last sentence was that this guy showed his loyalty to him. Regardless of whether the prince believed it or not, Li Jizhou had to say it sincerely.
Because even if they are both chamberlains, everyone is secretly competing with each other, and 10,000 taels is just the base.
Judging from the prince's current attitude towards his father-in-law, it seems that the more he buys, the safer his head will be.
Once everyone buys up the houses, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings outside the palace and exchanges them for money, there will probably be a second wave of panic buying.
It's hard to say whether you can get back all the money you spent, but you definitely can't lose your head because you're stingy with money...
Yao Ji thought of the director of the East Factory again. He crossed his legs and asked leisurely: "How much did Fang Zhenghua buy?"
After being promoted, and with the following "filial piety", I think this guy will be able to get back all the money he spent on the bonds soon.
Li Jizhou did not dare to hesitate and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, Fang Zhenghua bought ten thousand taels!"
"Hmm!" Yaoji didn't want to be too demanding of the new factory boss. It was wrong to mine others.
Doing the right thing at the right time is the most correct choice. There are still many wealthy people waiting for you to have sex.
Yaoji felt that the current salary of eunuchs and maids was low and could not effectively mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, so he said: "I am reporting to my mother, and I think that the salary of the servants in the empress is currently low, and although the internal funds are not sufficient, they are not enough." It's no good. I sincerely ask for a salary increase for the servants, no less than 50% of the current salary, to appease everyone, and I hope my mother will give me permission."
Even if everyone’s money is used to pay everyone’s wages, it’s not a big deal. There will be even weirder things in the future.
As the owner of the empress residence, she absolutely cannot agree immediately. The beautiful mother pondered for a moment before speaking: "There are many servants in the empress residence, and they are involved in a wide range of things. It consumes a huge amount of money. This matter is not a trivial matter. Brother Hong, please allow my mother to think about it."
After some twists and turns, although she had money, there were too many places to spend it, and Queen Zhou had to worry about state affairs.
The son is still young, so he doesn't know how difficult life is. If he spends extravagantly and doesn't know how to be frugal, the hard-earned money will be wasted again.
In ancient times, it is understandable that eunuchs and palace maids (referring to maids, not the ones selected in beauty pageants) were greedy for money. The former used their crotch items in exchange for official career. Without a way to enjoy life, they naturally wanted to Get more money to make up for it. Most of the latter were born in poverty, and it was too late for women from wealthy families to enjoy happiness. How could they enter the palace and serve nobles.
