Chapter 123: Mountains of Coal and Mountains of Gold

"But! But! This kid is clearly lining his own pockets! If he is not the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau, he may not be able to get so much business!"

Everyone knows that money is more important than face.

Especially like Wang Siqi, although no one knows how much money he has earned, since Zhu Gaoxu has determined that he has earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in just a few months, many people have already believed it to be true.

If there could be such a sum of money to replenish the national treasury...

Even if 200,000 taels of it were to be used for the Northern Expedition, there was no explanation for the rest... For a time, the thoughts of many ministers in the court began to wander.

"I think His Highness the King of Han's words are reasonable! Since he earned the money after Wang Siqi took office, it should naturally be returned to the court... But after all, Mr. Wang can be regarded as a meritorious minister. I suggest that the emperor reward him!"

"I second the proposal!"

"Second!"

After all this, even Zhu Di felt a little shaken in his heart. At this moment, a cold male voice came from the side. Zhu Gaochi looked at the ministers with difficulty: "The Ming Dynasty allowed the corporal, agriculture, industry and merchants to be allowed.

In order to protect the common people, salt merchants and tea merchants are more tolerated. If it is just because the business is extensive and well done, all the money earned must be returned to the national treasury."

"If things continue like this... the Ming Dynasty will not be short of money for a moment. Even if the treasury runs out, it doesn't matter. You can just find a rich man's house and pry it open. It's all silver... just take it as you like!"

"Is it right?"

Ever since Zhu Gaoxu mentioned that he would find a way to return the money earned by Wang Siqi to the state treasury, Zhu Gaochi's face gradually turned from anger to coldness. At this moment, he looked at the ministers in the audience...

My heart was filled with sadness.

As the prince of the prison country, he knows best what it means to kill the chicken and take the eggs... If what happened today finally comes true, what will greet him in the end will not only be Wang Siqi's departure, but more importantly, it will chill the people of the world.

heart.

In the Ming Dynasty, merchants were wealthy.

His business is all over the world...but why does his family always spend a lot of money and use the family wealth to hire talented husbands? The purpose is to change his status because his descendants study.

What the ministers are doing now.

Undoubtedly, it is like announcing to the whole world that business cannot be too big, otherwise they will only be greeted by a head-on blow from the imperial court!

This kind of thing...can you do it or not?

"I also feel that this matter must not be decided so hastily. Baoyuan Bureau has never changed before Mr. Wang arrived! In just a few months, it is obvious to all..."

Wang Siqi glanced lightly from the corner of his eye.

It seemed that he recognized the person who spoke, although his memory was a little unclear... Wang Siqi still knew that this person was probably his cheap father's best friend.

Zhu Di closed his eyes slightly...Wealth is alluring, even if he is an emperor.

Then he turned to Wang Siqi and said, "Boy, you can really make money! Even I have to admire your ability, but I am very curious..."

"How much money did you earn...?"

Zhu Di's doubts were shared by all the ministers in the court... Even Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but turn his eyes to Wang Siqi. Everyone was looking forward to getting an accurate answer from Wang Siqi. After all, in just a few months,

Earning hundreds of thousands of taels, even if it comes from Zhu Gaoxu's mouth... many people still don't believe it deep down.

Hundreds of thousands of taels?

What is the concept...Wang Siqi, alone, earned money in just a few months that the court might not be able to earn in a year just by doing business?

"Back to the emperor... I dare not hide it from the emperor... Whether it is the Baoyuan Bureau or my business, I have never made so much money from the beginning to the end, but if we really talk about whether we have hundreds of thousands of taels of wealth!"

Wang Siqi, with burning eyes, raised his head slightly, straightened his back and looked at the ministers standing in front of him who turned back to look at him curiously, as well as Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and others.

"It's true!"

hiss....

As soon as these words came out, all the officials present took a deep breath.

This guy?

Do you really have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

Are you kidding... Hearing this, even Zhu Gaochi became a little anxious and hurriedly reprimanded: "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is? Let me tell you again... In just a few months, how can you get hundreds of thousands of wealth?

?”

Zhu Di raised his hand to stop Zhu Gaochi.

"Did you hear what the prince said?"

"I heard it all!"

"Then are you sure what you just said? Do you really have hundreds of thousands of wealth?"

"I know that I cannot deceive you, so naturally everything I say is true. I do have these hundreds of thousands of wealth!"

The joy in Zhu Gaoxu's heart at this moment could not be described in words. This Wang Siqi actually admitted in front of the entire court ministers and the emperor that he had a family fortune of hundreds of thousands. What a huge fortune is this? Even Wang Siqi

You are born to be a businessman, and you won’t be able to make so much money even if you start a business in your mother’s womb!

What's more, how could it be possible to earn so much money in such a short period of time?

So..there must be something fishy here!

As long as Wang Siqi can be found out, all of Wang Siqi's hundreds of thousands of wealth will be put into the national treasury overnight. After all, it will be his own contribution... Even the eldest brother can't say anything about himself!

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu was not in a hurry.

....

Zhu Di curiously asked: "Tell me...what happened to the hundreds of thousands of wealth that was mentioned in the court today? What did you do...I know a lot, even if I made a little money,

You don’t have so much silver, right?”

Hearing Zhu Di's doubts, Wang Siqi's face instantly turned bitter.

Sure enough, with the Jinyiwei, the largest intelligence organization in the world today, and Nizuna here, it would be very difficult for him to carry out small actions in the capital.

"I did not deceive the emperor, but what I said was indeed correct... I said that I have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in my family, but I did not say that I have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at this moment..."

This sentence immediately made Zhu Di laugh.

Then he said with a smile: "Doesn't that mean that Wang You has bought you a family property worth hundreds of thousands of taels without even knowing it?"

"It's not my father who earned it, it's my minister who earned it..."

"Um?"

"Did you earn it?"

"Exactly!"

"Say it!"

“Jurong Coal Mine!”

Zhu Di was silent. Zhu Gaochi, who was looking at Wang Siqi with worry in his eyes, was also stunned. After a long time, Zhu Di said again: "Those hills that no one wants?"
