Chapter 22: Chen Zhi
"If the imperial court has one tael of silver left in the treasury, then the two taels of silver are just a small piece of cold silver ingot."
"But if these taels of silver are invested in areas that need development, then the court's move will bring a large amount of private capital into it. In the end, these taels of silver may bring five times or even ten times the effect."
Zhu Gaochi obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of Wang Siqi's words, but he still nodded and said: "In other words, the court should spend more money instead of storing it in the treasury, right? But if one day, the court will
What should you do when you are in a hurry for money?”
"Going into debt."
"Can the imperial court also borrow money?"
"Why can't the imperial court borrow money? If the royal family doesn't have enough money, it can borrow some from the people, promising similar interest and paying it back when due. People can borrow money, so why can't the imperial court."
After a few words, Zhu Gaochi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
I couldn't help but be secretly shocked in my heart. It was indeed right to keep Wang Siqi by my side.
After dinner, Wang Siqi, who sent Zhu Gaochi away, took a deep breath, then looked at Wu De, who had come to Baoyuan Bureau to wait earlier, and said, "Let's go, it's time for me to go home."
Wu De nodded excitedly.
"My uncle has been talking about the young master since he returned home."
"What are you talking about?"
"Tell me if the emperor wants to get rid of the four evils..."
"..."
The carriage slowly stopped outside the door of Qingyuan Uncle's house. Wang Siqi skillfully opened the curtain outside the carriage and walked down. Wu De followed closely behind his young master.
Outside the uncle's house, the servant in charge of the door was stunned when he saw Wang Siqi.
Then he reacted quickly, and one of them rushed into the house without looking back, shouting as he ran: "It's not good! Uncle! The young master is back!"
Oh no?
Didn't it mean that his father was talking about him every day when he heard that he had not come back?
Why does it now seem like the script was written backwards?
Just before Wang Siqi could react, he saw his cheap father Wang You with a smiling face followed by many servants. He walked quickly and said loudly: "Son! You are finally back. You
I didn’t know you weren’t at home during this period, but dad missed you so much!”
"Ah! This tastes just right..."
"But daddy, I beg you one thing...that is, can you go out first and come back after a few hours? Don't worry, even if you go to Hidden Flower Pavilion this time, daddy will pay the bill for you..."
"so.."
Thinking of his own personality and seeing the cheap dad in front of him, Wang Siqi's eyes instantly became playful.
He came back by himself.
Don't let yourself into the house.
There's a story here.
Wang Siqi immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't you know me yet? I have always been the most considerate. This little thing is not worth mentioning. I will definitely give you this face."
"As for the Hidden Flower Pavilion, forget it..."
Wang You was a little surprised that his son was unwilling to go to Hidden Flower Pavilion?
"That..."
"I'm going to Baihualou tonight."
Just when Wang Siqi was about to leave, Wang You couldn't help but take a deep breath. As if he heard a voice, Wang Siqi suddenly turned his head and said, "What are you nervous about?"
"No...no! How could dad..."
"Are you hiding something from me?"
"No...how could it be...how could it be?"
"That's nonsense, then why are you sweating on your forehead..."
"It's hot... it's hot..."
"But the servant behind you is fanning you!"
Wang Siqi glanced suspiciously at everyone present, and finally turned his face to focus on Wu De, and said immediately: "Wu De, go in and take a look..."
"I wonder...if something happened at home..."
Wu De understood immediately, and quickly raised his hands and said: "Master! I'll go right now, uncle... I can't help it, you understand!"
After saying that, he rushed into the backyard with swaying steps.
Wang You originally wanted to stop him, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was frightened back by Wang Siqi's gaze. Then he could only explain in a sullen voice: "Actually, it's really nothing, it's just some family matters at home. After dad handles the family matters, it will be natural
I'll tell you..."
"It's... a family matter? Can you not let me know?"
Just as the father and son were scheming with each other, Wang Siqi suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground and said quickly: "Damn it! Why was there an earthquake... It's not written in the history books!"
It can be seen that no one ran away.
Wang You couldn't help wiping the sweat from his face.
Wang Siqi was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he asked the servants on the side to bring him a well-made jujube wood stool and sat there waiting for Wu De to come back.
A long time passed.
Wu De ran back sweating and panting.
Completely ignoring his uncle's nervous and suffocating gaze, he shouted excitedly to Wang Siqi: "Master! It's Young Master Chen who is here!"
As soon as these words came out.
The faces of all the servants present changed color instantly. If we were to count who among the dandies in the capital, there was no doubt that Wang Siqi's name must be among them, but Chen Zhi, the son of Rongchang Bo Chen Xian, was definitely also indispensable.
As a serious eldest son.
Like Wang Siqi, he is almost a certain uncle in the future Ming Dynasty.
However, because Rongchang Bo Chen Xian would sneak his son off to the battlefield from time to time, it was often difficult for the two of them to play together, so many people in the capital still had a good life.
Now..
Before Wang Siqi could react, he saw a burly man walking from the backyard, with a sinewy face and a rock-shaking gait. The moment he saw Wang Siqi, he said: "Young Master Wang! Ouch!
, how long has it been since we brothers have seen each other."
"If my father hadn't finally returned to the capital after fighting abroad today, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see you at the end of the year. I just heard your father say that you offended the prince and didn't come back for a long time. I thought I was going to make this trip in vain.
It’s over!”
Chen Zhi's enthusiasm instantly lit up the memory in Wang Siqi's mind.
If Wu De is his biggest henchman, then the Chen Zhi in front of him is his staunch good brother. He is both a noble relative and a prodigal son.
"Baihualou! Today, everything belongs to my father!"
"Then why is this junior Chen so embarrassed! I won't say any more. All the expenses for today will be settled by the Chen family. Why don't you come with us, uncle?"
"It's better to let the younger generation fulfill their filial piety!"
Feeling the eyes of his wife behind him about to kill, Wang You looked at his son and Chen Zhi with a bitter look on his face, and finally said after a long while: "You...just go!"
It was night, and many people in the capital could not sleep all night.
As for the reason, of course there is only one!
