Chapter 230 I'm afraid, but I have to make money,(2/2)
Fang Fengshi looked at Aunt Xu in confusion, took over the recruitment list and asked, "What is this?"
Aunt Xu asked, "Has Secretary Fang seen this list?"
Fang Fengshi was unclear, but he still replied: "Now there are all over the list, I have read it yesterday."
Aunt Xu asked again: "Can Shangshu Fang know why this list appears?"
Fang Fengshi nodded and said, "It was because a dentist in Mashi Street contracted several ranches in Tongzhou a few months ago and promised to raise 5,000 good horses for the court."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "This tooth merchant is willing to spend several times the reward, hired someone to take care of the forage, and paid a high price to rent the occupied land back. What is the purpose of his doing this?"
Fang Fengshi said: "I have heard from the servants in the family mention this matter, because his horse racing is very profitable and a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket. But if he cannot fulfill his promise and raise five thousand good horses, the horse racing will be difficult to maintain, so he is willing to spend such a big price."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "This little money is even more desolate for many high-ranking officials and nobles in the court. But who in the world is willing to spend such a big price to raise horses for the court? It would be a blessing that they would not seek personal gain from it. The same thing is left to the royal relatives. No matter how much money the horses make, they will never spend a penny to raise horses for the court, and even if they are not able to raise five thousand good horses.
They cannot fulfill their promises, and the court will not blame them much, but if the dentist cannot complete it, it will not only be as simple as closing Marseille, but may even lose the lives of the whole family. This is why he is willing to spend such a great price to raise horses."
Fang Fengshi focused his mind for a while and said, "What a layman's intention is to recommend that I follow the example?"
Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Although the tooth merchant did this to make money, and the methods were a bit shameful, and they were all stubborn, at least he made the court add 5,000 good horses. Even if the court spent the same amount of money, he could not raise 5,000 good horses, and it was filled with dirty things. Now, I, the Ming Dynasty, can no longer hope to choose one better from the two good ones, and can only try not to choose a worse one."
Fang Fengshi frowned and said, "Although we all know that the truth is not the case, the court just blamed the case on one businessman, but now he is looking for another businessman. This is probably difficult to convince everyone."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "This tooth merchant only made the ministers in the court hate it, but it would not endanger their power and status. Therefore, many ministers still cooperated with him, and the imperial concubine was their big trouble. These two evils were the least. But Shangshu Fang must not go to the Chief Minister Shen. First, he may not agree, and secondly, he will find the censors and censors. If Shangshu Fang really hopes to avoid this situation from happening again, he can find the Grand Secretary Wang."
"Wang Jiaping?"
"Um."
Aunt Xu nodded and said, "The main reason for the disagreement between the cabinet and the censor and the censor is that Shen Shixing and Zhang Juzheng have a close relationship. Although Wang Jiaping is both a cabinet minister, he is not a member of Shen Shixing. Moreover, he set an example in the court, enforcing the law impartially and having noble virtues. Many censors and censors also respect him very much. He is also a mature and conspiring country. He knows how to do it, which is more beneficial to our Ming Dynasty."
Fang Fengshi pondered for a while and suddenly smiled: "If the layman is a man, I am afraid that the position of this assistant will change his master."
Aunt Xu smiled slightly and said, "If I were a man, there would be only one more playboy in the capital."
There was a hint of irony in the voice.
