At the beginning, everyone didn't think anything of it, but when they heard that what they said later involved their own interests, they felt that what they said was very reasonable. They all felt that the high officials in the court must be short-sighted people, otherwise how could they force Wu to do so? Would you rather raise your own money to fight the war? Those Japanese pirates have been causing trouble in the Central Plains for many years. How can we do this without punishing them? How do I show my great power?
At this moment, someone laughed and said, "You still expect the officials in the court to do business, but you won't even do it when you are blind! How can there be officials in the court who are not greedy? Let alone dividing the money, it is used to The money for the war was distributed, but the soldiers didn't even know how many taels of silver they had in their hands, and they had been stolen long ago!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately agreed angrily! People in the capital have a wide range of sources of information, so they can naturally hear a lot of news. Besides, it is not a secret matter that the imperial court deducts military pay. It is well known to everyone that they are peeling off the skin at all levels, so everyone pointed the finger at the officials in the imperial court and cursed them for being short-sighted and greedy! Naturally, this kind of remarks spread throughout the capital like ripples on the water!
When Liu Haojia accompanied Zhang Jia to the second floor, many people were talking and laughing loudly around Xu Xigao, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo. The reason why he became the focus of the crowd was that on the one hand, his family's title was here, and on the other hand, Duke Dingguo generously sent 20,000 taels of silver, making him the best among many nobles!
At that time, many people laughed at Duke Ding for taking silver and throwing it into the water, but now it seems that Duke Ding has a unique vision! After throwing out twenty thousand taels of silver, not only did the original capital come back, but almost more than ten thousand taels of silver were made back! Moreover, the well-informed nobles also knew that Liu Haojia had placed an order for 12,000 taels of iron ore and pig iron to the Dingguo Palace!
What is iron ore? Things that have no capital, the only capital is the miners’ food and wages! As for pig iron, at most it costs more for charcoal! So everyone looked at Duke Dingguo and became jealous!
And regardless of how much money you earn, after all, when you reach the position of Lord Dingguo, money is just a number! But the most important point is that by spending so much money, he completely expressed his loyalty to the royal family! This time. Not only did he win the gratitude of the royal family, but he also made money for himself. It was really amazing! Look at this picture. When the father-in-law climbed up the stairs, he handed over to Xu Xigao first and ignored everyone else!
When everyone saw Zhang Jia coming in, they knew that he was coming on behalf of the emperor, and they all stepped forward to say hello. And Zhang Jia's attitude definitely represents the royal family's closeness to the nobles! And Zhang Jia was also extremely accurate!
Zhang Jia's attitude towards those nobles who have empty honors and empty pockets is still eager and in line with etiquette. He just said hello to those who clearly had money but were reluctant to take it out. As for Xu Xigao and other few understanding people, they are extremely enthusiastic!
Seeing this scene, everyone secretly sighed, one wrong step would be a big mistake, they can only think of a way to follow up next time!
After everyone chatted for a while, they all sat down. At this time, Liu Haojia and I walked to the middle of the second floor and cupped our hands in all directions, then stamped our feet and said, "Everyone, does it feel good to have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver under your feet?"
When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing and applauded! Some people even stomped their feet vigorously, as if they wanted to trample through the floor!
Liu Haojia waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "I know what everyone is thinking now. Everyone wants to know how much money they got from this trip, and how much money each family can share, right? So we won't say more, Let’s get down to business first, then drink and listen to music, okay?”
Liu Haojia's answer was a burst of cheers! It seems that these people are also eager to know how much money they can get!
Liu Haojia called for an account manager. When he came up, he bowed to all directions and then began to read out the account book in a precise manner. Each harvest must be explained in detail, and he also explained in detail which items were used as military supplies. Payment How much money was paid, what happened to what things, everyone was very upset when they heard it!
Finally, someone said loudly: "Master Hou, let him directly tell you how much money each family can share. It doesn't matter whether you think about these things or not! Since I have invested money in Master Hou, how can I still not trust Master Hou!"
Liu Haojia did as they wished and directly ordered the accountant to announce the final result directly. Mr. Accountant will change directly.
He took the account book and started to read it out again. This was different. He read out the principal and profit of each family in the order of investment.
Every time he read out a piece of income, the person next to him would stand up and raise his hands to greet everyone, looking very proud! Coupled with the cheers from everyone, the atmosphere on the entire second floor can be said to be harmonious and fun!
By the time everyone knew how much money they could get, the atmosphere in the building had reached its climax! Everyone congratulated each other with smiles. Although there was no wine on the table, only dried fruits, fruits and tea, everyone still drank tea over and over again to congratulate each other! Read the book
At this time, Liu Haojia once again stood in the middle of the building and said loudly: "Everyone, do you feel good about having money?"
Everyone responded in unison: "Okay!"
Liu Haojia said loudly again: "Do you want to do it again?"
This time he was answered with even more enthusiastic cheers! But Liu Haojia spread his hands and said, "But it won't work in a short time. If you want to do it again, you have to wait for a while!"
Everyone laughed and cursed when they heard his words! However, they also know that such a thing cannot be done for a long time and can only be done occasionally. But then someone said loudly: "Do you know that you look like a robber sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils?"
But before Liu Haojia could speak, Xu Xigao was already flushed with excitement and shouted loudly: "Everyone here is an honorable person. I don't know how my ancestors got their property. They were all stolen!"
Someone immediately echoed and said, "That's right, our ancestors earned this family fortune by fighting with Taizu Taizong. But now that the world has been at peace for a long time, we can't stand on horseback and fight everywhere with swords. It's really sad!"
Liu Haojia said loudly at this time: "Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne and there are wise ministers in the government, it is the time to accumulate national strength. Maybe one day I will open up the territory again in the Ming Dynasty! So when you go back, you should train your servants. Wait for the opportunity to come! As long as we follow the footsteps of the Holy Emperor, the world is so big that there is nowhere for us to go!"
What Liu Haojia said made everyone shout wildly, and even loudly praised Emperor Wanli. Hearing this, Zhang Jia narrowed his eyes with a smile! Then Liu Haojia said: "Okay, let's do the most important thing and divide the money!"
