Three hundred and ninetieth chapters face change
Yue Zhongqi's words made He Shou and Wen Dong stunned at the same time. The three of them even whispered to each other a moment ago. The atmosphere was harmonious. Why did Yue Zhongqi change his face in a blink of an eye? Isn't it just a joke on purpose? Besides, 50,000 taels of silver and 3,000 stones of grain, the number is no longer small. Is Yue Zhongqi not satisfied?
"Ship Yue, how much food and salary is needed in your opinion?" Wen Dong thought about it. After all, Yue Zhongqi was not easy to offend. If he just wanted to add some of the abilities of Huaian Prefecture and Heshou, he could still get it. He asked immediately.
Hearing this, Yue Zhongqi's cold face turned into a smile again, and she said to the two of them with a smile: "I said it, Lord He and Lord Wen are both court operators. I stationed in Jiangbei for not only state affairs, but also for everyone. The emperor told me in the imperial edict that he would cooperate with the two adults in Jiangbei, so how could the two adults be stingy?"
Immediately afterwards, Yue Zhongqi stretched out a hand and shook it in front of the two of them.
"Add another 50,000 taels?" Wen Dong's heart sank slightly. If he added another 50,000 taels, he would have to be 100,000 taels. This number was doubled compared to what they had discussed before, and there was no military rations to be calculated.
"Fifty thousand taels? What is the mere 50,000 taels in front of the two? I said 500,000 taels!" Yue Zhongqi said with a smile: "500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stones of grain, how about it?"
This number was spoken from Yue Zhongqi's mouth, and He Shou and Wen Dong's faces suddenly changed, especially He Shou, who looked extremely unhappy and said: "Ship Yue is a drunken word that he said after drinking too much wine? How can the Caoyun Yamen and Huai'an Mansion bring out so much food and salary?"
"Yes, Mr. Yue, Jiangnan has been occupied by rebels over the years and the grain transportation has been cut off. My Huaian Prefecture is only a place. If you want the Xiaguan and Lord He to assist the Jiangbei camp, the Xiaguan will have nothing to say, but you can only do this within your ability. The amount of these 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stones of grain is really huge! The Xiaguan can't take it out at all." Wen Dong said with an old face bitterly.
"Haha, I thought the two adults must be able to take it out." Who would have thought that Yue Zhongqi not only did not let go, but said with a smile, and looked at the two people in front of her with a pair of playful eyes.
"Yue Zhongqi! You are bold!" At this moment, Heshou could not sit still? He immediately slapped the table and stood up: "You are the Admiral of Jiangbei. His position is to guard Jiangbei and prevent the thief army. Today, he found an excuse to exploit the place. What do you want to do? Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes? Do you have the law of the king?"
After saying that, He Shou waved his sleeves and turned around and was about to leave. In his opinion, this banquet was really a Hongmen banquet. No one expected that Yue Zhongqi's appetite was so big. Since that's the case, don't blame him for being rude. What about 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 s of grain? That's what he said before, he wouldn't give him a penny of 50,000 taels of silver and 3,000 s of grain. He didn't believe that Yue Zhongqi had such a courage to attack him. You must know that he is the governor and his grade is one level higher than Yue Zhongqi!
Seeing that Heshou was leaving, where would Wendong stay? When would he not leave? Yue Zhongqi might not do anything to Heshou, but there was still a way to deal with his own prefect. Wendong immediately stood up, but he didn't say anything harsh. He just silently bowed to Yue Zhongqi, and was about to leave with Heshou.
"Two sirs, are you leaving like this?" Yue Zhongqi's wine glass was still sitting there with a faint smile, but there was coldness in her words.
"What? Admiral Yue is planning to use our waiting head to sacrifice the flag?" He Shou looked coldly, not allowing at all.
"Hahaha, I am the general who is not an imperial envoy, and the other is not an order. How can I do such a big thing?"
"That's it, say goodbye!"
"But... Although I can't do it, but someone can do it. Are you not afraid of the two adults?" Yue Zhongqi suddenly said another sentence, and He Shou and Wen Dong paused, and at the same time turned around and looked at Yue Zhongqi.
"Yue Zhongqi, what do you mean?"
"Nothing else, I'm just reminding the two adults." Yue Zhongqi still looked as usual, and reached out to her face and pointed: "How about the two adults accompany me to have a few more glasses of wine?"
Heshou hesitated for a moment. Although he wanted to leave directly, he was a little unsure. He snorted coldly and sat back. Of course, Wendong followed Heshou and sat down again.
After pouring the two of them again, Yue Zhongqi raised her glass with a smile, and looked at her coldly, and took a sip on her own without caring about the other party.
"The two adults, in fact, the amount proposed by me is not much. It is easy to use the ability of the two adults..."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Before Yue Zhongqi finished speaking, Heshou turned a decisive approach: "Mr. Wen had already explained it clearly before. Besides, all the food and salary in Jiangbei camp should be allocated by the imperial court. How can I wait? This makes no sense!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Yue Zhongqi waved his hand and said, "The emperor once issued an order that all provinces and ministries, especially Jiangbei, need to raise their own food and money to meet the shortage. Wouldn't the two adults not know?"
"So what if that's the case? This is your Yue Zhongqi business, not ours."
"No, it's actually the same thing." Yue Zhongqi's face suddenly changed, her eyes were cold, and she stared at each other and said, "Have you heard a word? If you don't know, don't do it yourself!"
He Shou and Wen Dong suddenly felt a little nervous, and they felt a little bad, but they still said, "What do you mean?"
"Do you remember what happened to Qi Shiwu? Qi Shiwu ended up in a different way for 100,000 taels. What about the two lords? What about the consequences? I heard that the two lords have a lot of appetite, and they hold millions in their hands."
When this sentence was spoken from Yue Zhongqi, He Shou and Wen Dong's faces suddenly changed, and they felt like they were being hit hard. How could they not know about Qi Shiwu mentioned by Yue Zhongqi? When Qi Shiwu was involved in the Ming bond case and tried to cut off his arm to survive in order to escape from his own crime, who thought that Kangxi was so evil and was finally sentenced to death.
The earliest contact of this Ming bond was actually not Qi Shiwu or other important members in the capital, but He Shou and Wen Dong. They secretly exchanged more than one million taels and became second-trafficking dealers several times, but the secret of this matter was not discovered. How did Yue Zhongqi know?
Before Yue Zhongqi finished speaking, he could only continue to say: "Apart from this matter, the two adults have made money in recent years. What Mr. Wen said before is indeed correct. Since the occupation of Jiangnan, the grain transportation has been cut off, but in fact, the open grain transportation has stopped, but private transactions are very hot. Lord He and Lord Wen are busy back and forth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are making money every day. In my opinion, it is really aggrieved to be an official. The skills of the rich merchants in the world are not as good as those of the two adults. What a pity..."
"You...you...you...screaming people...why...why are there any such things!" He Shou and Wen Dong suddenly burst into cold sweats, and they were completely drunk for a moment, and they were not even able to speak smoothly.
