As soon as Xiao Changyi finished speaking, Shao Xi and Xiao Changwu began to stare directly at Xiao Changyi as before. Xiao Changyi glanced at the two of them with a calm expression.
He said confidently: "Why are you looking at me like this? Am I wrong? I have used all the royal funds as capital. If King Xin wants to get involved, of course it will depend on how much capital is spent and how little. Naturally, the share will be small, and no one can take advantage of me in this matter."
Both Shao Xi and Xiao Changyi were dumbfounded by Xiao Changyi. Shao Xi thought to himself, "Can you have the consciousness to become an emperor?" My current face looks more like a profiteer than I do.
Xiao Changwu, the elder brother, seemed very generous. He stroked the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "The Holy One is right. Of course, whoever pays more capital will get more dividends. The Holy One even gave out his family wealth. Now How can I argue with the Holy One?
"The king will arrange for someone to send the calculated silver to Lord Shao's house later. At the end of the next year, there will still be three of us, and Lord Shao will arrange the division in the royal study room of the Holy Lord."
Xiao Changyi became excited when he heard this, pointed at Shao Xi and said to Xiao Changwu: "You will definitely not go wrong by leaving the business to him. Look at the situation in just half a year, Shao Xi has made so much money for me.
"I believe there will be a lot more in the coming year. If this continues, in less than two years, the capital of the royal family's internal funds will be back, and from then on it will be pure profits. This is the real profit of one hundred thousand!"
After saying that, the two brothers looked up and smiled.
Shao Xi stood aside and secretly lamented that he had been struggling for a long time and was still a part-time worker. He helped the emperor and the old boy make money, and now he has to help the prince make money.
Fortunately, these two old boys are not stingy, and they are willing to spend their capital. Otherwise, they will really become the sheep whose hair is shaved off.
Since Xiao Changwu is also involved now, Shao Xi naturally wants to speak openly.
So he raised his hands to Xiao Changwu and said: "Your Majesty, since it is a business, let's put villains first and then gentlemen. Your Majesty, you will get a share for every one hundred gold you use. If Your Majesty, you can spend one thousand gold, then at the end of the next year you will get a share." You can get a 10% dividend.
"And what kind of business Weichen will do with the capital you provided, and how to do it, Your Majesty, you must not have any interference."
Xiao Changwu smiled after hearing this and replied: "I don't know anything about doing business. Since we are cooperating with Lord Shao, we must abide by the rules set by Lord Shao. Like the Lord, I am just handing over this capital to you. As for you, I will never interfere with anything you do, or even inquire about it. Lord Shao just lets it go.
"I have decided to give you one thousand gold, and I promise that as long as our Jingyuan Empire needs the benefits, I will give it all and will never keep it secret."
Xiao Changwu's words highlight his status as Prince Xin. It seems that he wants to participate in Shao Xi's business, and it is not entirely to gain wealth for his Prince Xin Palace.
Instead, he supported Shao Xi in disguise to expand his own industry and accumulate more wealth for the Jingyuan Dynasty.
Although his one-man power is insignificant compared to the finances of the entire Jingyuan Dynasty, he does have good intentions. When the country needs it in the future, he can use this money to set an example.
It can be seen that Xiao Changwu really worked hard for the Xiao family's dynasty foundation.
Shao Xi understood Xiao Changwu's idea and naturally would not refuse, so the matter was agreed upon.
Next, Shao Xi mentioned the matter of leaving Beijing for Qingshan County in two days.
When mentioning this matter, Xiao Changyi's face became solemn, and he said to Shao Xi earnestly: "This matter has been arranged by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. The construction of Mrs. Shao's cemetery will be completed by the Minister in accordance with your previous proposal. Xu Maocheng, the provincial doctor, has full authority to assist you in supervising the process.
"I also understand that this matter seems a bit heavy for you, and asking you to personally supervise it is only in name. All things will be left to Xu Maocheng.
"When you go to Qingshan County this time, you don't have to show mercy to those corrupt officials who killed the people and took Mrs. Shao's life. All of these people are punishable by death.
"As for how you want to deal with them and how you want them to die, it is up to you. No matter what you do in this matter, it is my will."
Xiao Changyi is tantamount to giving Shao Xi a solid foundation. These people must die, but you have the final say how to die.
It is up to Shao Xi to decide whether to behead them directly, or to cut them into pieces after torture enough and then let them die.
Holding the power of supervision and execution given by the current Holy Emperor in his hand, Shao Xi can vent his resentment to his heart's content.
This kind of thing is unprecedented. In the past, no matter where the official was or how big the crime he committed, even if he was sentenced to death, the method of execution would be decided by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
But this time, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were only responsible for the conviction, and it was up to Shao Xi himself to decide the final punishment.
This is equivalent to giving half of the power to Shao Xi in the final ruling of this case. It can be seen that the privileges given by Xiao Changyi to Shao Xi have reached the extreme.
You must know that this kind of inter-ministerial penalty adjudication power can be said to be unprecedented. This has never happened since the founding of the Jingyuan Empire.
Through this incident, I believe that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will also understand the special status of Shao Xi.
Shao Xi was also very grateful for Xiao Changyi's decision. Xiao Changyi not only gave him the opportunity to kill his enemies, but also gave him the opportunity to vent his anger.
As long as Shao Xi is willing, he can use the most cruel methods to deal with Chen Mohuai, Cai Cheng, Liu Zhubo and others.
This hatred has been suppressed in Shao Xi's heart for a year. If Shao Xi didn't want to go against Ye Ziyuan's original wishes and use legitimate means to let these people get the fate they deserve, Shao Xi might have become a real person long ago. After the inspection history of the "Jingcheng Division", he rushed back to Qingshan County to collect their heads.
Now that everything is ready and just waiting for him to complete this last step, Shao Xi is already impatient.
Xiao Changwu obviously knew about this matter before, so when he heard Xiao Changyi and Shao Xi talking about it, he also interjected: "I have also heard the Holy Father mention this matter in Qingshan County. There are corrupt officials in this place." It is really hateful, harming the people, plundering people's property, and making the local people miserable.
"Now, Mrs. Shao's life has been harmed, and the nine tribes must be killed! Speaking of which, Mrs. Shao is also a woman, and she did not hesitate to put herself in danger for the people of Qingshan County, and unfortunately she was killed.
"In addition to the accompanying officials, Mr. Shao also brought with him the Xuanjia Guards from Prince Xin's Mansion. Firstly, to protect Mr. Shao along the way, and secondly, to build momentum.
"This can be regarded as my humble contribution to this matter. If anyone here dares to interfere, they will be handed over to my Xuanjia Guards."
When Shao Xi heard this, it was incredible!
You must know that this Xuanjia Guard is in addition to the Sixteenth Guards of Kyoto. Xiao Changyi specially set up a special guard for King Xin Xiao Changwu, and his status is not below the Sixteenth Guards of Kyoto.
Moreover, it only takes orders from Prince Xin's Mansion, and even the current sage Xiao Changyi has no right to call him. This shows how important Xiao Changwu is in Xiao Changyi's eyes.
Now that Xiao Changwu is able to hand over all his Black Armor Guards to Shao Xi for deployment, it shows that he attaches great importance to Shao Xi.
Carrying this Xuanjia Guard with him is no less than carrying the imperial edict given to him by Xiao Changyi. This Xuanjia Guard also has the power of life and death to kill first and then act later.
Xuanjiawei's action is equivalent to the action of Prince Xin's Palace, and the action of Prince Xin's Palace is equivalent to the action of the current Holy Emperor Xiao Changyi. In the entire Jingyuan Empire, except for the current prince Xiao Yuming, the only person who can receive such treatment is King Xin Xiao Changwu.
Shao Xi knew that this was Xiao Changwu taking this opportunity to express his attitude and want to get closer to him. His previous statement that he wanted to get involved in his business was just a foreshadowing.
Since the other party is so sincere, Shao Xi is not an ignorant person, so he naturally knows how to reciprocate kindness.
So he quickly knelt down and bowed to Xiao Changwu and said, "Shao Xi, a humble minister, would like to thank the prince for his kindness. The prince will definitely repay the favor generously in the future."
Xiao Changwu stretched out his hand to help Shao Xi up, stroking his beard and saying with a smile: "Master Shao is a good minister of our Jingyuan Dynasty, and he will definitely be the pillar of our country in the future. It is my duty to do these trivial things." Righteousness, Master Shao, please don’t be polite to me.
"If we talk about kindness, compared with the Holy One, I am not one in ten thousand. If Master Shao wants to repay the favor, as long as Master Shao assists the Holy Master well in the future, his many suggestions and suggestions will be the best reward for this king."
Shao Xi saluted quickly and said: "What the prince said is that I will never let down the grace of the Holy Lord and the prince. I will do my best to serve the Holy Lord and seek more benefits for the people of Jingyuan."
"Well, it is my honor to meet Lord Shao today. I believe that Lord Shao will do great things in the future.
"Why don't we stop here today? I have to go back to my house to raise the capital for the investment. I will send someone to your house before Master Shao leaves in the next two days."
With that said, Xiao Changwu bowed to Xiao Changyi and left.
Shao Xi had almost finished everything he had come to do today, so he and Xiao Changwu saluted Xiao Changyi. The two left Xiao Changyi's study room together, leaving Xiao Changyi alone there counting his banknotes.
King Xin really kept his word, but on the morning of the next day, someone from King Xin's Mansion rushed to Shuangxue Tower to meet Shao Xi, and handed King Xin's 10,000 gold to Shao Xi.
In addition, the visitor also brought King Xin's Xuanjia Order and told Shao Xi that when Shao Xi set out early tomorrow morning, the Xuanjia Guards from King Xin's Mansion would be waiting outside the city.
After Shao Xi and the others leave the city, they will go to Qingshan County with Shao Xi.
In addition to protecting Shao Xi's safety along the way, Xuanjia Guards also obeyed Shao Xi's orders in all other actions.
Xiao Changwu also personally issued an order to the Xuanjia Guards. During his trip to Qingshan County, Shao Xi's order was his belief in the king's order, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be punished immediately.
Shao Xi thought to himself, this prince is really interesting!
