Chapter 179: Buying Hearts with Money
After hearing this, Li Bin's face flushed with excitement, and she laughed excitedly: "Thank you for your fulfillment!
There is absolutely no problem with ships, identity, etc. From today on, the relatives and friends of my lord will be my Li Bin’s relatives and friends and distinguished guests of Gao Li!”
After saying that, Li Bin got up and bowed heavily to Jiang Chen.
"Young Master Li, don't be polite. When it comes to official positions, I should be the one who deserves to be a polite person.
If you don’t dislike me, we will call each other by the word “brothers” in the future. How about calling me a good minister?”
Jiang Chen intimately held Li Bin's arm.
He knew that Goryeo Ruizong would die in the next two years, and then the fourteen-year-old Renzong would be promoted to the throne by his relative Li Ziqian.
After that, the era of Li Bin's father Li Ziqian's autocracy began. Although it was only five years, it was enough for Jiang Chen.
"Okay! Then I'll call you a good minister!
My name is Gongyi, so everyone from Gao Li called me Li Gongyi, just call me Gongyi!
Li Bin was very happy. As long as he could solve the crisis of domestic price inflation and shortage of copper coins, he would not care who he would cooperate with.
He started to talk to Jiang Chen and chatted for half an hour before he said goodbye with joy.
As soon as he left, Jiang Chen wrote a letter to Liu Feng and his third uncle Jiang Shang, and sent someone to send him out.
Just as he was about to drink two sips of tea to moisten his throat, Deng Wenhao, Liang Jiandao, Zhang Hongwen, Wang Wenhan and Qin Hui and others walked in with joy on their faces:
"Chairman, the result is coming! This investment raised a total of more than 1.245,000 guan! Now the money received alone has exceeded 700,000 guan! The disaster relief money is all!"
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!"
When Jiang Chen heard this, he felt at ease and said generously: "The emperor's kindness is so great that the official family is particularly sure that our Royal Chamber of Commerce can have 30% of the minister's money.
Although the main purpose is to subsidize the Xiang army and their families who joined the Royal Chamber of Commerce, it is definitely not a reason to let you do it in vain.
Wen Hao, you take out 50,000 guan and distribute it to everyone according to your position, as a subsidy for counterfeit carriages and horses!”
"Thank you, Chairman!"
Everyone was full of surprises, and the two poor guys Zhang Hongwen and Wang Wenhan were even more smiling so that their backs were exposed.
But they didn't expect that the benefits would be more than these, and Jiang Chen continued:
"In addition, another 50,000 yuan will be used, of which 10,000 yuan will be distributed to the orphanage and the School of Literature, and another 40,000 yuan will be subsidized according to the number of people for the Xiangjun brothers who joined the Royal Chamber of Commerce, so that they can also enjoy themselves."
"Chairman Houen, we, the brothers from the Orphanage House, the Sales Department and the Royal Chamber of Commerce, thanked the Chairman!"
"We'll do it now!"
Zhang Hongwen, Wang Wenhan and others were excited. They were all very positive about such good things as giving money and giving kindness.
However, Liang Jiandao frowned and said, "Chairman, the two-way brothers who join the Royal Chamber of Commerce are treated high enough!
If you continue to supplement the funds, you will almost catch up with the imperial guards. If someone is interested in instigating you, you will be afraid that something will happen!”
Something happened?
What this official wants is to make them jealous and cause trouble, otherwise how can we continue the next inclusion plan?
Jiang Chen was amused, but he patted Liang Jiandao's shoulder with admiration and said, "Jiandao is right, but this money is earned by our Royal Chamber of Commerce.
Is this chairman used it to supplement your subordinates to make you live a better life? Do you still need to worry about other people's opinions and feelings? Then who will worry about your feelings and hard work?
No need to worry, hurry up and get things done. Then I will celebrate together in the evening and drink him and stop drunk!"
"Haha, OK! The Chairman's words are just refreshing!"
"I will definitely go back quickly, Chairman, please wait for us!"
Zhang Hongwen, Wang Wenhan and others laughed and left.
Deng Wenhao looked at Liang Jiandao with fun, followed him, mocking in his heart: Just your little tricks, you want to compete with me for favor? Humph! What you can think of, sir and I have thought of it long ago!
Liang Jiandao didn't know what Deng Wenhao was thinking. Seeing that everyone had left, he said to Jiang Chen: "Chairman, I don't know what you plan to deal with the 500,000 disaster relief money required by the Ministry of Revenue?
Is it really handed over to the Ministry of Revenue and let them do it and win people's hearts? It would be better to send people directly to the Royal Chamber of Commerce to provide disaster relief!
If the chairman has this idea, his subordinates are willing to take this opportunity for the adults!”
"Well! Seeing that you said this really hit my heart, I will fight for this matter from the official family. If it can be done, I will thank you for your hard work then!"
Although Jiang Chen agreed with Zhang Shangying yesterday that the 500,000 pounds of silver were handed over to Zong Ze, who was about to enter Beijing, for disaster relief.
But in order not to dispel Liang Jiandao's enthusiasm, he agreed, thinking that it would be a good choice to let Liang Jiandao accompany Zong Ze.
“Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the promotion!
Regardless of whether the official agrees or not, the chairman’s kindness must be remembered in his heart!”
Liang Jiandao felt excited and felt that the opportunity to make a comeback had finally come.
"I always think you are your own person, so you don't have to be so polite."
Jiang Chen's face was full of closeness.
Just as he was about to praise Liang Jiandao a few more words, Liu Yuancheng suddenly brought the eunuch Wang Li and walked in: "Brother, the official family summoned you into the palace!"
"Um?"
Is this money coming?
Jiang Chen looked funny and told Liang Jiandao a few words, then followed Wang Li into the palace.
Wang Li was a strange eunuch around Song Huizong. He was neither corrupt nor illegitimate nor formed gangs. On the contrary, he always advised Song Huizong like a loyal minister. He was not the same as Cai Jing or Yang Jian.
Therefore, although he served Song Huizong since childhood and was trusted by Song Huizong, he never did well.
Jiang Chen had a good impression of him and had made friends with him all the way.
Although Wang Li did not like to make friends with foreign ministers and his attitude was never far or near, he also explained the reason why Song Huizong summoned Jiang Chen.
Therefore, Jiang Chen came to Yanfu Palace and saw Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Wang Zhonghe, Guo Haochu, Kong Duanyou and others all present, not much was accidental.
He smiled at Song Huizong and reported the good news: "Fortunately, I am honored to be a shameful person! I have prepared enough money for disaster relief! This is the winning bidder and process record of this investment promotion. Please read it by the official!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen directly handed over the booklet recorded in the chamber of commerce documents to Song Huizong.
"Well, Liangchen, you did a good job, thank you for your hard work!"
Song Huizong praised, took the document, and while watching it carefully, he asked with a reminder: "Good minister, I heard that you expelled representatives of the aristocratic family and the marquis's mansion from the investment venue? What is the reason?"
"Go back to the official home!
When the investment promotion meeting began, Weichen wrote the rules in a booklet and distributed them to everyone. Those who knew it and deliberately disrupted the venue, intending to prevent Weichen from raising funds for disaster relief.
Weichen just acts according to the rules!" Jiang Chen replied calmly.
"snort!"
Chapter completed!
