Chapter VI Borrowing and Lending(1/2)
Of course, Jingjing Wan knew that he meant what he said. She pursed her lips and laughed in a low voice: "Even if my skills are not as good as others and I am one move behind, it is still 1.8 million taels anyway. It's hard for me not to feel distressed when I think about it. Your Majesty."
For the sake of these 1.8 million taels, can you not let that Lengyue follow me around all day long?"
Feng Junhan smiled casually and said indifferently, "What's wrong? My personal bodyguards are always protecting you. Do you still have any objections?"
Jingjing Wan pursed her lips and said, "If people in the light don't tell secret stories, why should the prince be so hypocritical? Surveillance is surveillance, so what else is there to say about protection?"
There was something strange about Jing Jing Wan's action in Feng Junhan's eyes, "Logically speaking, I should have agreed to you because I care so much about your money, but I'm going to disappoint you! You do it
For one day as Princess Jing, Leng Yue will protect you for one day!"
Jingjing Wan took a deep breath, "I knew you wouldn't agree, so I just said it casually!"
Feng Junhan's handsome eyebrows furrowed, "Have you found a way to make a fortune?"
Ning Jing Wanyu looked at Feng Junhan with a sweet smile, "Not yet, but it will be soon!"
Feng Junhan smiled slightly, "Are you trying to trick me again?"
Jingjing Wan did not agree, and smiled as brightly as the sunshine in early spring: "What do you mean by attacking you? We are Zhou Yu's Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer! If the prince feels that it is not cost-effective, he can not do this at all.
It’s business!”
It's still easier to deal with smart people, don't talk nonsense, don't talk too much, and understand things tacitly.
Feng Junhan laughed dumbly, "It seems that I can't refuse the princess's kindness!"
Ning Jing Wan showed a pretty smile, "But I am a little tired today. I will go back to the post house under the protection of Leng Yue. I will come to see the prince tomorrow!" Ning Jing Wan specially emphasized the word "protection". Feng Junhan listened.
In my heart, I remain calm.

At night, Feng Changhuan and Jiang Nanyan were sitting under Feng Junhan's seat respectively!
Feng Changhuan said: "This disaster relief money and relief food have been delayed for so long. I have sent people to remind me several times, but the answer is that they are on the way. On the way. It has been on the road for so long and it still hasn't arrived?"
Jiangnan Yan said: "The officials responsible for transporting disaster relief along the way have legitimate and impeccable reasons. Due to the heavy rain for days, the weather is blocked and the road is slippery, so it is difficult to get up quickly!"
Feng Junhan put down the book in his hand, his eyes reflecting a bit of coldness, "The Mu family is really becoming more and more courageous!"
Feng Changhuan said: "Second brother is saying that the Mu family was behind this incident?"
Feng Junhan said calmly: "Besides them, who else is there?"
The Ministry of Household Affairs, which is in charge of the national finance, is in the hands of the Mu family, and all the disaster relief money and grains come from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Needless to say, this is an obstacle set by the Mu family father and son!
Feng Changhuan clenched his fists tightly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes,
"Second brother, why don't we sue the emperor? Just endure it like this?"
Feng Jun said coldly: "If he could catch Mu Fang so easily, would he still have been the prime minister for so many years, one person under one person and over ten thousand people?"
Since Prime Minister Mu Fang dares to do it, he has already prepared a way out and a scapegoat. Moreover, the reason is justifiable. It is raining and the road is slippery, so even if he wants to go fast, he will not be able to shake the Mu family except for killing a few scapegoats.
Not a cent!
Feng Chang stood up angrily, "But the food we have now can't last more than a few days, and the granaries in Jiangnan are all open. If this continues, tens of thousands of refugees will start a civil uprising, and the consequences will be unimaginable! Old Mu Fang
This guy’s move is too insidious!”
If the second brother could not solve the problem of floods in the south of the Yangtze River, he would undoubtedly give Mu Fang the best excuse. The people displaced by the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were already a headache, and the Mu family and his son took the opportunity to add insult to injury!
Feng Junhan saw it and warned: "Chang Huan!"
This kind of thing is very normal. In the struggle of the imperial court, any means can be used. It just depends on whether it can achieve the goal. It doesn't matter whether it is noble or not. Mu Fang is a master of playing power, and Mu Lanqing is also a talent!
Of course I won’t miss this opportunity!
The second brother could bear it, but he couldn't bear it: "Second brother, are you going to tolerate them like this?"
Jiang Nanyan said: "Your Highness, please be patient. Now is not the best time to touch Mu's family!"
Feng Changhuan felt unwilling, while Feng Junhan and Jiang Nanyan were as calm as water, as if they had expected this.
This is also one of the reasons why Feng Junhan admires Jiangnan Wild Geese. There is an extraordinary calmness, and the color remains unchanged even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, as calm as still water!
Everyone will appreciate people who are similar to themselves, and Feng Junhan is the same. Jiang Nanyan's determination may even be inferior to Qingcheng, let alone the frivolous and flamboyant Chang Huan!
Jiang Nanyan's long eyelashes covered his eyes. Just when everyone was worrying about money, Jingwan came. Needless to say, the deep and shrewd Prince Jing would definitely have Jingwan's idea!
Just by looking at the idea that Jing Wan came up with just now, you can tell that Jing Wan is by no means an arrogant rich girl with superficial appearances. She has her own ideas and is very independent. There is no way that she does anything without her own purpose.
.
"Chang Huan, how did things go today?" Feng Junhan asked calmly.
Feng Changhuan was startled and curled up his pretty lips, "I followed that iron rooster's method. Don't tell me, it really worked. Not only were the victims in need of relief in order, but there was no more fighting and hurting people.
Moreover, due to the sudden increase in manpower for building dams, the speed of building dams has been greatly accelerated today. At this rate, the dams should be completed in less than half a month!"
Feng Changhuan couldn't stand it the most that Ning Jingwan spent money like water on herself, but wasted nothing on others. She regarded wealth as life, only saw money. She was a typical businessman, so she secretly gave her this name!
Iron Rooster? Feng Junhan and Jiang Nanyan were stunned and couldn't help but chuckle. This name is very appropriate.
Feng Junhan was not surprised by Feng Changhuan's words. When Jingjing Wan said the solution, he knew there would be such a result!
It seems that this Ning Jing Wan is indeed worthy of him taking another look. The certainty and confidence in her words and the already beautiful face add a bit of brilliance, making people not want to look away.
Feng Changhuan noticed the strangeness of the second brother, "Second brother, don't you think this name suits her very well? Not only is she a businessman, but she is also an iron rooster who never pulls off a hair!"
Feng Junhan smiled and said nothing.
★★★
The next night, Ning Jingwan came to Feng Junhan's study in the post house. This guy really knew how to enjoy himself. In a place like this, he had a lot of things to enjoy, except that he didn't bring a woman with him.
Ning Jing Wan lazily said: "Your Majesty, I, Ning Jing Wan, have always been direct in doing things. Can you give me a price? How much will it cost this time?"
Feng Jun said coldly: "Five hundred thousand taels!"
Feng Changhuan knew what his second brother was going to do. The money from the Ministry of Revenue was still coming, so why not ask Jing Jingwan for the money?
Jiang Nanyan just drank tea lightly and remained silent.
Jingjing Wan seemed surprised and said: "Your Majesty, has the money you defrauded last time been spent?"
Is it weird that he didn’t spend all the money? Ning Jingwan knows that Feng Junhan is someone who wants to do big things. One million eight hundred thousand taels may be a number that ordinary families dare not even think about, but for Feng Junhan, what is needed
Money is just a bottomless pit!
Feng Junhan glared at Jingjing Wan fiercely. He was lying when he spoke and didn't shy away from it at all! Could it be that in her eyes, he became a liar?
Jingjing Wan pretended not to see it and defrauded her of her money. She couldn't even let herself talk about it!
Jingjing Wan shrugged, "It's not impossible, it's just that the prince's reputation is not very good, and I am still worried about lending him so much at once!"
"Ning Jing Wan, you..." Feng Changhuan couldn't help it and dared to blatantly say that the second brother's reputation was not very good. Did the second brother indulge Ning Jing Wan too much?
"Don't be impatient. Feng Changhuan, why are you so anxious?" Ning Jing Wan didn't take it seriously. Ning Jing Wan called everyone by their first name, and everyone was used to it!
Feng Junhan smiled lightly, "Then how much can you borrow?"
A sly light flashed in Jingjing Wan's eyes, "The maximum is three hundred thousand taels, limited to three months. After three months, it will be three hundred and thirty thousand taels with principal and interest!"
"Iron Rooster, why don't you just go grab it!" Feng Changhuan was furious, the loan sharking was actually put on his second brother! What an Iron Rooster, there was no need for him to shy away from Jing Jing Wan and call her Iron Rooster!
Iron Rooster? Ning Jing Wan was slightly startled. She really didn’t expect Feng Changhuan to have such a hobby of giving others nicknames?
But soon, Ning Jingwan felt at ease and accepted the name calmly. She spread her hands and said, "If you think it's not worthwhile, you don't have to borrow it. I'm not forcing you!"
Jiang Nanyan smiled, Jingwan had indeed found an opportunity to make a fortune!
"Do you know how many disaster victims are waiting for this money to make ends meet? How many people have been displaced due to the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and how many children are desperate for food and have no home? This money is used to relieve the victims. Do you really think this kind of national crisis wealth is enough?
Are you embarrassed to say this?" Feng Changhuan's words and deeds are aggressive and righteous!
Ning Jing Wan remained unchanged in response to all changes, and said with a faint smile: "I remember that your court has a relief department? Doesn't the court have a special relief fund for this kind of natural disaster? Besides, is it a natural disaster or a catastrophe? I don't need to remind you.
You guys!"
Jiangnan has been plagued by floods for many years. If you say that no one has the ability to control the floods, she will not believe it to death. However, the imperial court allocates a large amount of money every year, but there are still floods every year. The reason is obvious. It is simply that the responsible officials are enriching their own pockets, pretending to be public for private gain, and are doing nothing in the dam project.
The higher-ups manipulated and secretly put a lot of money into their own pockets, and you can only imagine how well the dam was built!
It is said that serving as an official will bring benefits to one party. Jiangnan is a prosperous land. Officials from here, serving as an official for one term, can make enough money for their families to enjoy for several lifetimes. However, it only brings suffering to the people here, who suffer from floods every year.
bitter!
It is impossible for Feng Junhan and the others to not know these things, but how could officials who dare to embezzle a huge amount of money like this not have a strong backing?
You can't just check if you want to, or you can find out something! If not, you may get burned. Moreover, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Punishing corruption will not be achieved overnight!
Feng Changhuan was startled and suddenly lost for words. The imperial court was struggling with internal strife and factional disputes. As a result, relief funds and relief grains were delayed. To be honest, Jing Jingwan couldn't be blamed for this.
Jingjing Wan saw that Feng Changhuan was speechless, and continued: "I am just a businessman, not a philanthropist. I seek political power in my position, and I will not seek political power if I am not in my position. After all, it seems that you should thank me!
"Everyone just gets what they need. How can you blame yourself?"
Feng Junhan remained calm. He had already written the IOU and threw it to Jing Jingwan, "See for yourself!"
Feng Changhuan snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Are you literate?"
He still didn't believe that the person who the second brother and the third brother said last time imitated the second brother's handwriting was Jingjing Wan. He only had money on his mind and could imitate the second brother's handwriting. What kind of state is that? There is no way that the person in front of him could open his mouth and shut up.
