Chapter 197 I am the chairman

Emperor Hongzhi completely lost control of his expression and was so shocked that his breathing stopped.

All I could think about was that number, four hundred and eighty thousand taels, four hundred and eighty thousand taels.

If you earn 480,000 taels in a month, wouldn't that be more than 5 million taels a year, which is more than half of the national treasury's annual revenue?

Trance, disbelief, incomprehension, confusion. All kinds of emotions are intertwined together, and they flood into my heart.

Zhu Youtang's heart beat faster and faster, his face became redder and redder, and finally he looked at Zhu Houzhao in confusion.

He had previously learned that dozens of large wooden boxes had been transported into the East Palace, guessing that there were tens of thousands of taels of silver, which made him unable to sit still and gave him some ideas.

Later, he learned that this sugar mill supported tens of thousands of people, and guessed that 80% of the tens of thousands of taels of silver would be used as wages, so his previous thoughts faded away.

But who would have thought that it would be hundreds of thousands of taels.

Is it appropriate for this kid to hold hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a month?

Obviously, inappropriate!

Isn't it like a child holding gold and walking around the streets?

Extremely dangerous and extremely dangerous!

The water of these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is too deep, and my prince cannot control it, so I still have to come.

It suddenly seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was just a short moment. His breathing suddenly quickened. Zhu Youtang made a decision. Then he took a long breath and stood up from behind the imperial desk.

"Forty-eight thousand taels a month, more than five million taels a year, which is more than half of the national treasury's annual revenue."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, this is not how the account is calculated, and it is not possible to earn so much every month."

Zhu Youtang was startled, "Isn't it possible to earn so much every month?"

"Yes, it is only possible in the first few months. From now on, it may only be around a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand taels per month."

".Why?"

"Because of the market economy and this over-saturation"

Xia Yuan explained the reasons for the highs and lows again. Although Zhu Youtang didn't quite understand, he still listened very carefully. He nodded from time to time, and finally said: "Ten tens of thousands a month, or even twenty

Ten thousand taels is a lot that can be used as a fixed number."

Then he smiled and asked: "This business is a partnership between you and me. How much do you share?"

"The secret recipe for white sugar that your Majesty gave me, and the money that Your Highness paid for it, we will split it 50-50."

"If my prediction is correct, this business is also your plan."

"It was my idea, and it was indeed my instigation to His Highness to do business in the first place."

"I knew that the prince alone would not be able to do such a big deal. How could I not be clear about my son?"

Xia Yuan's cheek twitched, that's not what you said at the beginning.

Back then, Zhu Youtang kept talking about ridiculous nonsense, but now he never mentions it, as if it never happened, and sincerely praised: "Xia Qing's family is one of the most talented people in the country!"

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I am ashamed that I cannot bear it."

Emperor Hongzhi looked him over and said with a smile: "Is the Xia Qing family going through inner drama again?"

"His Majesty is truly astute."

Zhu Youtang patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the imperial desk again, his steps seemed much brisker.

When he came to the front, he picked up the jade inkstone and the ivory paperweight on the case, "A few days ago, the prince took an imperial Duan inkstone from me and a pair of white jade paperweights and took them to the pawn shop. He kept saying that he would help me.

Earn money and relieve the financial worries of the internal funds."

The more Zhu Houzhao listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he feel that his father seemed to be plotting his money?

Then a feeling of uneasiness came to his mind, and he couldn't help but clarify: "Father, I didn't say anything."

Emperor Hongzhi ignored him and said to himself: "I didn't believe it at first. I just thought the prince was naive, but now."

As he said that, he finally turned his gaze back and said, "Huzhao, now I know that what you said is true. I am very relieved that my son has such filial piety."

"My son."

"Prince, there is no need to say anything more, I already know everything."

Zhu Youtang waved his hand, "Since you and Xia Qing's family have a 50-50 split, and you have such filial piety, I will send someone to get the two hundred and forty thousand taels of silver later."

Zhu Houzhao: "."

This foolish king is indeed plotting my money!

"besides."

With that said, Zhu Youtang turned his head again and said, "Xia Qing's family, from now on, you will take half of the monthly income, and the other half will be sent to the palace on time to be used as internal funds."

"."

Zhu Houzhao was shocked. He never expected that this foolish king would be so greedy. No, this is not greed. This is clearly shameless.

It’s just a matter of taking away this month’s income, and actually snatched my dividends!

The foolish king deceives others too much!

Xia Yuan looked at him sympathetically. In fact, he had already guessed what he was summoned by the emperor this time. It was just for money. Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao, a second-rate man, couldn't see through this at all.

It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor would play such a trick in confusing right and wrong.

However, if you think about it a little deeper, this is not just passing the steps, nor is it not leaving a dignity for both parties.

If you let others or yourself go, get off the donkey and save your dignity.

But the dog prince, does he need to be decent?

It’s time for the boat of fatherly kindness and filial piety to capsize.

While he was thinking about this, Zhu Houzhao was already furious, blushing and shouted loudly: "Ke Erchen is the chairman!"

"?"

Zhu Youtang was immediately startled, what the hell is the director?

He chewed these three words carefully several times in his heart, nodded and said, "The prince is really more sensible now and has grown a lot."

"."

Zhu Houzhao was choked by these words for a moment. Xia Yuan swore that he had received professional training and would never laugh no matter how funny he was, unless he really couldn't help it.

He burst into laughter, and Emperor Hongzhi's eyes immediately swept over him, somewhat confused and asked: "Xia Qing family, why are you laughing?"

"Well"

Xia Yuan quickly suppressed the smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I am very happy. I am not only happy that the prince has such filial piety, but also happy that the palace's funds are abundant."

"You're just happy and don't have any worries?"

"."

After a moment of confusion, Xia Yuan roughly understood what the emperor was asking, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I also have concerns."

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang's expression became serious, "I understand your concerns. How many people from ancient times to the present have partnered with the palace without any concerns?

It is inevitable that everyone will feel anxious in their hearts, but I am not one of those who take things by force, nor am I a profit-seeker."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes vigorously and felt a chill in his heart.

A scene of robbery and robbery was just staged, and the palace's money and dividends were robbed, and yet he actually had the nerve to say that he was not a profit-seeker.

If I weren't worried about being beaten or being stabbed out again, I would have started scolding you as a fool.

"It's just that if we want to make the world peaceful and happy, we need more than just etiquette and morality, we also need these yellow and white things."

"I know that everything your Majesty does is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." Xia Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth in compliment.

After receiving customers, set up an archway to prove that you are pure and clean. It is a very reasonable operation.

"It would be great if you could understand my painstaking efforts. Although I need these yellow and white things, I know in my heart that this business is all your fault. I paid 50,000 silver in capital, and I can get ten times as much.

A hundred times the income, why should I not be satisfied?

Therefore, please rest assured, I will divide it 50-50 according to the agreement between you and the prince, and I will not take any more!"
