Entering the courtyard, a familiar feeling hit my face.
Various colored glaze decorations can be seen everywhere in the yard.
At first glance, the valuable calligraphy and paintings, jade, carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent.
This made Qin Xiao feel very disgusted.
In the capital city, even the first and second grade officials cannot live in such a luxurious mansion.
His Imperial City Secretary had only settled in Fengzhou for more than half a year.
Just earned this fortune?
Are they here to do errands for him, or are they here to enjoy themselves?
at this time.
Yang Da, who came after hearing the news, immediately prostrated himself when he saw Qin Xiao:
"Wei Chen, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Qin Xiao said "Ping Shen" in a cold tone.
"Why don't Your Majesty send someone to inform Wei Chen, so that Wei Chen can prepare to welcome the Holy Emperor."
Yang Da wanted to show his loyalty.
But Qin Xiao's ears felt harsh.
Qin Xiao looked at Yang Da displeased.
"I sent you here to keep an eye on everything going on in Fengzhou."
"But you guys are living so comfortably. It's even more luxurious and luxurious than my palace."
"What? Are you afraid that if I come over directly and see your extravagant life, you want to cover it up?"
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and emphasized his tone:
"Also, when I come here, do I have to inform you in advance to see if you have time to see me?"
Hear this! !
Yang Da was so shocked that he was sweating profusely and knelt down again with a plop.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
In fact, he didn't understand what he had done wrong.
But the emperor was obviously unhappy, and that was because he was wrong.
If you are wrong, your first thought is to quickly admit your mistake.
So as not to make Qin Xiao even more angry.
Qin Xiao rushed in angrily and sat down.
Suddenly, he felt that he was not sitting too comfortably.
I looked down and saw that it was a chair with a soft cushion on it.
Qin Xiao felt doubly unhappy.
"The layout is so comfortable, do you still have the time to do anything?"
Yang Da understood and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. Everything in this mansion was arranged in advance by Xu Mo."
"Even a humble minister can't be the master."
After hearing this, Qin Xiao's attitude softened.
Qin Xiao had his reasons for getting angry.
Along the way, the people of Fengzhou lived so comfortably, so they would naturally think that the Imperial City officials had just followed the local customs and had no intention of doing errands.
But if it was Xu Mo's arrangement, that would be a different matter.
Qin Xiao remained unfazed and said with a cold face: "Xu Mo has put a lot of thought into this."
"stand up!"
Yang Da dared to stand up when he saw Qin Xiao's expression softened a lot.
My heart was still pounding nervously, and it was difficult to recover for a while.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and his handling in front of the emperor is nothing short of careless.
Qin Xiao did not pursue this further and asked: "I came all the way and saw with my own eyes the prosperity of the people in Fengzhou."
"I heard that compared with before, people's living standards have improved by several levels. Is this true?"
Yang Da nodded: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"After the major infrastructure construction was carried out, people had jobs to do, money in their pockets, and the market became active, which actually revitalized the economy."
Yang Da paused and then said:
"And it's not just big funds. There are more businessmen coming, and other projects are also hiding. All kinds of businesses and projects are coming in a steady stream."
"If this continues, people will become richer and richer."
Qin Xiao nodded.
Fengzhou has really undergone drastic changes.
But what Yang Da said later made Qin Xiao feel uncomfortable again.
Yang Da reported to Qin Xiao the current situation of the Imperial City Division making money in Fengzhou.
"We spent a total of 700,000 taels of silver on this piece of land, but we can earn close to 10,000 taels of silver every month."
"This is calculated as an average. In the past one or two months, I have been able to earn almost 10,000 taels a month."
"The situation will only get better and better, and it is estimated that we will be able to recover our capital within a few years."
"Thanks to the good location provided by Xu Mo, our business can prosper..."
Yang Da said happily.
But he didn't notice that Qin Xiao's face turned ugly after hearing this.
Qin Xiao felt an unknown fire in his heart.
Easily earning tens of thousands of silver taels a month not only did not make Qin Xiao happy, but also made him mentally unbalanced.
Seeing that his subordinates' net worth has doubled, it is even higher than that of ordinary businessmen.
The key is that it's hard to express this emotion openly.
It can't be said that watching his subordinates make money makes him feel unbalanced.
The more Qin Xiao thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said angrily: "Since you are living a comfortable life, why not just resign and go do your business!"
Yang Da couldn't help but screamed: "Your Majesty, I am unjust. I am doing my best to collect information all the time. I definitely don't dare to be careless."
"This money doesn't require much effort. I can earn it in my spare time."
It's okay if Yang Da doesn't explain, but once he does. Qin Xiao almost spit out blood.
Look at people, making more money is the way to go.
I have a serious government job, I can easily make extra money in my spare time, and I can even earn ten thousand taels a month.
If you focus on business full-time, wouldn't you earn more?
Qin Xiao made a serious face: "Forty percent of the money you have earned in the past six months must be handed over to the national treasury."
"Starting from next month, I will hand it in every month."
"I obey the decree."
Yang Da was not upset but overjoyed.
Qin Xiao took 40%, which was equivalent to allowing his brothers to earn some extra money. The remaining 60% was enough for their Imperial City Division to spend in a lifetime.
At this time.
The eldest princess couldn't help but ask: "Why can you see women everywhere in Fengzhou?"
You know, ancient folk customs were not as open as modern ones, and women rarely showed up.
But in Fengzhou City, there were more women showing up than in the capital city.
The eldest princess was very puzzled.
Yang Da quickly replied: "Your Highness Princess Qi, those women all have jobs."
"What? Women also have jobs?"
The eldest princess was shocked, such a thing happened?
Yang Da nodded: "At the beginning, Mr. Xu posted the notice. He said that women can hold up half the sky."
"Women can also get a job. In Toyosu, men and women are equal."
These shocking words made the eldest princess unable to recover for a long time.
In addition to surprise, there was also joy in my heart.
These words simply hit the heart of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess has extraordinary talents, and even her father, Emperor Qin Xiao, admires her very much, but just because she is a daughter, she cannot express her ambitions.
Women are not allowed to participate in politics.
At most, it's just doing business for Qin Xiao.
She was happy to see this happen.
"Father, a person with such novel ideas must have good character."
"The people of Fengzhou are so lucky to have such a magistrate."
The eldest princess couldn't help but praise Xu Mo.
Yang Da also echoed: "Yes, Fengzhou is what it is today, all thanks to Xu Mo."
Yang Da thought to himself, we are talking to the eldest princess.
