Chapter 504: The Emperor with Careful Eyes
"Ye Qing, I have been spared from Li Gu's three envoys. Do you think that the lords in this court are suitable to take over as the three envoys?" Chai Rong asked directly.
Since Ye Hua moved to the Huagai Palace office, he has entered the palace... Of course, there is still a high wall blocking it with the palace. If you want to cross that wall, you will not be able to get a knife, unless you become the emperor.
Chai Rong often goes to Huagai Palace every now and then and talks with Ye Hua... Many people think that the king and his minister would definitely discuss something amazing. In fact, it is not the case at all. Chai Rong came here three times in a row, asking about the war horse, "Where is my imperial horse? How about it, are you pregnant?"
"Your Majesty, your royal horse is a magistrate and cannot be pregnant!"
"You want to piss me off to death. I'm asking that mother... Let's say so, when can you pay back the horse that owes me?"
Ye Hua was embarrassed, "Your Majesty, there are many people who want to have a bloody horse, such as Zhao Kuangyin, and Han Tong, the deputy director, who also knows that the mare was given to me by Han Tong, so if you give birth to a foal, you should return it to Han Tong first. This is what our third girl means..."
"No one can do anything!" Chai Rong snorted angrily: "I am the emperor. If you don't agree to send the foal to me, I will demote Han Tong's official position!"
"No!"
Ye Hua was frightened, "Your Majesty, you can't ignore it!"
"I am the emperor. If I want to reason, I will speak. If I don't want to speak, do you have any other way?"
"There is no way, there is no way!" Ye Hua completely admitted his defeat, "Let me talk to Han Tong to see if I can get a war horse later."
Chai Rong finally left with satisfaction, but Han Tong is another stubborn guy!
Don’t think about it anymore. Just dismiss the office. I will accept it!
Facing these two unreasonable people, Ye Hua had no idea. There was only a little foal in his war horse's belly. Could it be that he could still split it in half?
Ye Hua thought about it and really came up with an idea. Aren’t you just going to have to sweat and blood? I don’t care whether it’s pure or not, just give it to you!
After a while, Ye Hua asked to select twenty best mares to send to the horse shed first, and then prepare twenty more... From this day on, the majestic sweat-blooded horse drooped its head and could no longer be energetic...
Seeing Chai Rong coming again, Ye Hua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are already pregnant with five mares and are still working hard. There will be good news!"
Chai Rong waved his hand with disgust, "I have something important to come over, but I didn't hear you say that those useless."
Ye Hua rolled his eyes. You have said it three times. If it is useless, why are you wasting spit?
Seeing Ye Hua silenced and said, Chai Rongcai said, "Who is suitable to be the Sansi Envoy except Li Gu?"
"What does your majesty mean?"
It was really a serious matter, Ye Hua cheered up and asked.
"How about Zhao Pu?" Chai Rong said: "This person is quite talented. When he was in Hebei, he cracked down on powerful people, cleared the fields of Zhangzhang, and dug the river again to relieve the floods of the Yellow River. He has good abilities... I heard that he had done things under Ye Qing's hands, so he must be good at managing finances, right?"
Of course, Zhao Pu is a talented person. Half of the Analects of Confucius rule the world, so of course there is no need to doubt it. But letting him be the envoy of the Three Sessions may not be appropriate.
"Your Majesty, I dare to suggest that it would be a different person."
"who?"
"Ludosun!"
“Why?”
"Your Majesty, Zhao Pu's talent is not above the economy. Let him be the envoy of the Three Divisions, and at most continue Li Gu's approach, maintain the clearance of the land and the rest of the work."
"Isn't that good?" Chai Rong asked reconciled.
Ye Hua said: "Your Majesty, although you have to do a mu of land, you have to enrich the country and the people. You don't just divide the land. Dividing the land is just the foundation, and you will also need to develop industry and commerce next time. If the land is divided, you will inevitably have more grain flowing into the market this autumn harvest. What should I do if the grain prices collapse and the grain is low and the farmers are injured? The responsibilities of the three departments have changed. People who are more flexible and useless means must be able to do it."
When talking about Lu Duosun, Chai Rong immediately thought of destroying Buddha. That guy is really a cruel guy. He does everything and lets him manage his finances. He is afraid that he will work too hard, which will make people angry...
"If your Majesty is worried, just send him a deputy."
"Well, I'll think about it again."
Chai Rong suddenly said, "Ye Qing, isn't the idea you gave me just a way to deal with Li Gu? How effective did you ask Han Xizai to look at him? Is there any progress?"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the first batch of top ten coins have been cast and shipped."
"Hands and feet are fast enough." Chai Rong was shocked, "How did they do it less than a month?"
Montage is not a small matter. It requires raw materials, molds, large-scale production, craftsmen... When the money comes out, you have to open the joints to successfully send it to Jiangnan.
According to the fastest estimate, it will take three months. Now it’s done in less than a month. It’s really unbelievable, like God’s help!
Ye Hua smiled and explained to Chai Rong that Li Gujiu was in Sanshi and knew the process of minting coins very well. He transferred craftsmen from the money supervisor and first learned the craftsman as the top ten coins.
Next, he had to mint money on a large scale. He chose the craftsmen from the Shangjunfang to help. After years of hardship, these masters under Ye Hua had mastered the most advanced casting and processing technology in the world.
Can make hundreds of millions of dollars a day!
According to the calculations of the Great Zhou, 10 million yuan is only 10,000 yuan. It can be used as a top ten yuan, but it can expand to 100,000 yuan!
In ten days, one million jin was completed.
Ye Hua tried his best to convince Han Xizai, not just to let him look at Li Gu.
Han Xizai has been in Jiangnan for decades, with his disciples and former officials everywhere in the court and the country.
Making money to make money is a temptation that no one can resist.
Han Xizai came forward to help clear the joints. The first batch of big money will be sent to Taicang in half a month and handed over to the Wang family.
When the Wang family gets this money, they will pay 100,000 guan as a deposit. Then they go to Wuyue to purchase silk with one million guan. According to the market price of Wuyue, they can buy back 100,000 pieces. Sixty thousand pieces of these 100,000 pieces are from the Wang family, and the remaining 40,000 pieces, and the 100,000 pieces are from the Great Zhou.
"absurd!"
Chai Rong was so angry that he slapped the table and was furious.
"What is the Wang family? They are simply gained without any effort and are insatiable! A mere 100,000 guan was exchanged for 60,000 pieces of silk! One piece of silk is less than two pieces of money! How much money do they want to make? Rats, borers, and despicable!"
In front of Ye Hua, Chai Rong never concealed his thoughts. A series of dirty words emerged from his mouth, and he really could not associate these words with the noble emperor.
Ye Hua was not surprised either, he had heard enough anyway.
At the end, he just smiled faintly, "You can't just watch the thief eat meat, not the thief get beaten. The Wang family and Dazhou have an affair, but they have to guard against Li Hongji. I guess they have to take out at least half of the silk to bribe other families and pull everyone into the water together!"
Chai Rong sneered, "Even if that, they have made enough money! Waiting for me to take down Jiangnan, we must wipe out all these big clans! No one left! They are really a disaster to the country and the people, and they cannot be forgiven!"
Ye Hua couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for the Wang family. Before he could do anything, he sentenced Chai Rong to death first!
But it’s far from that, let’s see how much money can be made in the big week!
A top-quality silk can be sold for fifteen stakes in Kaifeng. If transported to the grassland, it will start with twenty stakes. If sold to the Western Regions, it will be worth at least thirty stakes!
Forty thousand pieces of silk, worth at least 600,000 guan!
It costs 200,000 guan to cast a million guan as a top ten money. It costs 100,000 guan to make a small amount of money for labor, transportation costs, and the joints are 100,000 guan. This is 300,000 guan. If the Wang family’s deposit is deducted, the big Zhou Dynasty made a net profit of 400,000 guan!
Moreover, this is just the first business. According to Li Gu's idea, he is also planning to mint it as five major coins, send it to Jinling, exchange it for small coins, and then transport it back to mint it. After this struggle, he can earn more than 500,000 jin at a time!
This is just the lowest estimate!
The flesh on Chai Rong's face twitched twice. Suddenly, he became furious and took out a note from his sleeve and threw it to the ground.
"I've been fooled, I've been fooled!" Chai Rong couldn't believe it and asked back: "Li Gu wrote me a 10 million IOU! Didn't he say that it would be able to pay it off in just twenty times?"
Ye Hua nodded subconsciously, "Isn't it good to pay it off early?"
Chapter completed!
