The red flag is waving and firecrackers are blasting.

Lanterns were decorated, and guests came in an endless stream.

Countless thousands of styles...

On the street, a young-looking child couldn't help but raise his head and look at his mother after seeing this and said: "Mom...it's so lively over there, what are you doing? Is there a bride?"

The young woman also took a look, but she was a little unsure.

"Maybe...maybe?"

.....

The Baoyuan Bureau and the Baochao Lifting Division were officially merged, but what they came to do was the same as what Wang Siqi and Zhu Gaochi had discussed... They wanted all the land and none of the money. The main reason was that Zhu Di would definitely not keep the extra money due to his nature.

for myself.

No officials are needed, and no craftsman is missing.

According to Wang Siqi's request, Baochao Jusi got married to Baoyuan Bureau.

"Today! It's a very happy day for our Baoyuan Bureau... Thank you all our guests and friends for being able to gather with us today!"

"Not only Baoyuan Bureau, but also the workshops, wineries and stores under Baoyuan Bureau will celebrate this good day with us today!"

"The Baoyuan Bureau and the Baochao Procurement Bureau merged to form the Ming Baoyuan Bureau."

"From now on, I have to rely on you all to take care of me..."

Sitting in the courtyard of Baoyuan Bureau, Xu Min frowned, his thoughts wandering far away. Qi Demao sat next to Xu Min nervously, paying full attention to the delicious food that might be served later.

"how's it going?"

"Ah! Brother-in-law...what?"

Xu Min, who was slightly angry, continued: "I mean, what happened to those pieces of wood... Can they still be sold?"

"Brother-in-law...didn't I say before that the Ministry of Industry came forward to buy all the wood? I won't be able to find a customer to take over it for a while."

"Something went wrong."

With a gloomy look on his face, Xu Min cast his gaze towards Wang Siqi in the distance, his heart filled with suspicion and curiosity.

He didn't understand why it was a sure thing in the first place.

So many changes could have happened in a short period of time, and these changes made Xu Min feel a little at a loss.

But Qi Demao’s next words.

Xu Min was even more stunned.

"I can't sell it...Brother-in-law, why don't we sell everything to the Ministry of Industry!"

"Fart, how can the Ministry of Industry come up with so much money in a short period of time? Even if there is so much money, it is impossible to use it all to buy wood."

Xu Min's words made Qi Demao, who originally had high hopes, feel dazed and stuttered, "How is this possible?"

"The Ministry of Industry has to buy wood."

"It's true, but you won't be able to buy so many of them for a while... However, the price of giant trees has been quite stable, and they can be used in any large-scale construction projects. You should quickly find a way to sell some first tomorrow.

.”

"OK!"

Under Wang Siqi's instruction, the merger of Baoyuan Bureau and Baochao Office was carried out with great success. Many officials in Beijing even took the opportunity to pay a visit.

Wang You looked proud.

Looking at Chen Xian sitting next to him, he didn't care about the high-sounding appearance. Instead, he said with a smile: "Did you see it? Even in the small Baoyuan Bureau, it can stir up different storms.

.”

"He is indeed my son, for sure."

Holding a small wine glass in his hand, Chen Xian was quite convinced.

After all, like Wang You, in the eyes of a big boss like him, seeking a future in the military camp like Chen Zhi is not a good thing.

"Okay! This guy has a lot of potential... He's better than us. It's really unreliable to live a life of licking blood at the edge of a knife. It's not bad to be a good official."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but from time to time their eyes turned to Wang Siqi and Chen Zhi in the center of the crowd.

...

The next day.

Zhu Gaochi took many of the East Palace guards and appeared outside the gate of the merged Baoyuan Bureau. Although it had been merged, the location of the Baoyuan Bureau would not change in a short period of time.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! I didn't expect you... to come in person."

Wang Siqi greeted Zhu Gaochi with a smile on his face.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "There is no harmony between you and me."

"I won't say those useless words. I came here today for one purpose...to ask for money!"

Frown slightly.

Wang Siqi couldn't help but ask: "What's the big deal?"

"Well, my father may have to use troops against the north again. Although I don't want the war to continue, there is no way when it is unavoidable."

"The other thing is... a strange thing has happened recently. The price of huge trees in the capital has skyrocketed in just a few days for some reason. To be precise, those good products that can be used are really hard to find."

"The construction of the northern capital city has been hindered by a lot of resistance. Wuzhong from the Ministry of Industry went to his father every day to complain about his poverty."

I said so many words in one breath.

Wang Siqi listened to it all in one breath.

His expression remained as usual, without much change. He just breathed a sigh of relief and said: "One hundred thousand taels, I can only get so much money at most now, and the dividends will be paid after the work is completed, so this

If you take away the hundred thousand taels, you will have to give me an IOU."

"Okay! You want me, His Highness the Ming Dynasty Prince, to issue you an IOU?"

Zhu Gaochi is not a good-looking person, and when he speaks, he is a bit angry, which makes all the flesh on his body run with him.

"This is one hundred thousand taels."

"I am the prince!"

"This is one hundred thousand taels..."

"I just did something for you."

"One hundred thousand..."

"Okay, I'll write!"

Taking Zhu Gaochi into the study room in the side room, Wang Siqi personally took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, arranged them one by one and said: "Your Highness, there is a reason for writing this IOU... I will teach you what to write specifically, follow this

Write what I say."

"Even if there are any problems in the future... even if I take the lawsuit to the emperor, I will still be justified!"

Zhu Gaochi was unhappy when he heard this.

He raised his eyebrows and twitched the corners of his mouth: "What? Do you think that His Highness will still default on your debt?"

"Well... maybe, maybe, a little bit."

"Um?"

"Write first."

After typing the note, at Wang Siqi's request, Zhu Gaochi left the prince's exclusive gold seal, and then he carefully put it away with satisfaction.

Then he called Wang Yihuan and said: "From the accounts of Baoyuan Bureau, count one hundred thousand taels of silver and send it to the East Palace messenger. Remember... His Highness must not suffer a loss."

"clear!"

After Zhu Gaochi left, Wang Siqi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Whisper.

"Being an official is just like doing business, except that in business there are losses and gains, but in being an official there are gains and losses. Once you understand this... it doesn't seem so difficult."
