Chapter 88 Help!
Thanks to book friend 190331123718038 for the reward!!
Thanks for my monthly pass support from Insanity!!
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Wanli could not help but giggle.
Sun Siam was also smiling and accompanying him obsequiously.
Emperor Wanli wanted to hold back his smile and speak to Sun Xian, but he couldn't help but grin when he spoke.
Emperor Wanli said: "Sun Xian, you did a great job this time! You actually sold twenty-seven copies! This really exceeded my expectations! I will mark your great contribution this time!"
Sun Xian was elated, "This is all due to the emperor's teachings. If it weren't for the emperor's guidance, how could I have achieved what I have achieved now?"
Emperor Wanli looked at Sun Siam and felt extremely satisfied, "Okay, you have done such a good job, I can't be stingy. I will give you a year's salary, and you can collect the reward later."
After hearing the reward from Emperor Wanli, Sun Xian's smile suddenly revealed a hint of crying. He was almost moved to tears by the reward from Emperor Wanli.
A year's salary, such a reward is indeed an astronomical figure for Emperor Wanli. After all, as the chief minister, Shen Shixing was usually only rewarded with a few taels of silver, and occasionally more than ten taels.
According to his rank, Sun Xian was regarded as a fourth-grade eunuch. In the Ming Dynasty, a fourth-grade official's monthly salary was only twenty-four shi of rice, and his annual salary was only 288 shi of grain. When converted into There isn't much silver either.
However, Sun Xian still had to be moved to tears, and it would be impossible not to cry. After all, this reward was too great. In the Ming Dynasty, I dare not say that it is unprecedented, but it is definitely rare!
Seeing Sun Xian's moved tears, Emperor Wanli counted the banknotes in his hand over and over again. He said to Sun Xian warmly: "Work hard, and I will give you a bigger reward in the future!"
At this time, Zisun Siam couldn't help but burst into tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely run errands for Your Majesty well."
At this time, Sun Xian secretly glanced at the banknotes in Emperor Wanli's hand, and he suddenly thought of the benefits Zhu Changluo had given him in ordinary times. Large sums of money like five thousand taels of silver were thrown at him at every turn, and now Sun Xian subconsciously thought that Emperor Wanli I definitely won’t pick it, after all, it belongs to both father and son.
As a result, he worked hard to help Emperor Wanli steal more than 1.3 million taels of silver, in exchange for a year's salary reward.
For a moment, I felt sad and couldn't stop crying.
This is more than 1.3 million taels of silver!
When those noble and high-ranking officials who eat people without spitting out their bones come to their senses, they will have to eat him. The risks and rewards are completely out of proportion.
Finally, Sun Xian wiped his tears and said carefully: "Your Majesty, if noble officials pursue this matter, what will I do?"
Emperor Wanli smiled slightly, patted Sun Xian's shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Now, Sun Xian was even more panicked. His predecessor Zhang Cheng had been promised in this way, and now he was in Fengyang to see the imperial mausoleum. He didn't want to be with Zhang Cheng.
Therefore, Sun Xian also had to plan his own way out, otherwise the outcome would definitely not be better.
After returning to Dongchang Yamen from Qianqing Palace, Sun Xian couldn't help but his right eyelid kept pounding. He was really panicking.
Why did you get so obsessed with it in the first place and tricked so many noble and high-ranking officials in one fell swoop?
It's better now, but it will be really miserable if Emperor Wanli doesn't give me the full answer.
Sun Xian was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and for a moment he had no idea.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of Zhu Changluo.
Sun Xian knew Zhu Changluo well. Although Zhu Changluo looked like a child, he had many good ideas. Just like his current position as admiral of Dongchang, it was Zhu Changluo who helped him make suggestions and stabilize his position.
Therefore, now Sun Xian immediately thought of Zhu Changluo, and he wanted to ask Zhu Changluo for advice.
Sun Xian quickly went to Xishan Huangzhuang to find Zhu Changluo for help.
When Sun Xian saw Zhu Changluo chatting with Chen Jinglun at the end of the field, he ran over in a panic regardless of etiquette.
His hands and feet hurriedly shouted: "Master, please save this slave!"
Zhu Changluo heard Sun Xian's scream. He turned around and saw Sun Xian running towards him. He was confused, why was Sun Xian so panicked?
Chen Jinglun saw someone looking for Zhu Changluo, and it was a eunuch wearing a red python robe. Chen Jinglun immediately resigned. At the same time, he was even more in awe of Zhu Changluo.
Almost all the eunuchs who can wear red python robes are high-ranking eunuchs beside the emperor! Moreover, the panic look and anxious attitude of this eunuch clearly indicate that he is eager for Zhu Changluo's help.
Think about it, such a powerful eunuch actually needs the help of a prince. How powerful must this prince be?
When Sun Xian arrived in front of Zhu Changluo, he didn't mind the dirt on the ground. He knelt on the ground and said with tears: "Master, save this slave. This slave is in trouble."
Zhu Changluo said: "What's the big deal? Did you also embezzle my father's mining tax? I can't save you from this."
Sun Xian said: "No, no, how can I have the courage? I helped the emperor sell a secret recipe two days ago. After selling it, I realized how big the trouble was. I was afraid that they would get angry and join forces to bully them."
Servant."
Zhu Changluo said: "In this case, you can ask your father to save you."
Sun Xian said: "This matter is too big and involves too many people. I am worried that the emperor cannot protect me."
Zhu Changluo said: "My father can't protect you, how can I save you?"
Sun Xian said firmly: "Master can do it, Master will definitely do it."
Zhu Changluo couldn't resist Sun Xian's request, so Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, okay, tell me what it is first, and then I will help you think of something."
Sun Xian was overjoyed when he heard that Zhu Changluo was willing to help.
He quickly said to Zhu Changluo: "Master, this is what happened..."
After Sun Xian finished speaking, Zhu Changluo looked strange, with a smile on his face and a hint of shock at the same time!
Zhu Changluo never expected that Sun Xian would be so capable that he would sell the secret recipe of glass to twenty-seven nobles and high-ranking officials!
This was really beyond Zhu Changluo's expectation.
Zhu Changluo originally thought that Emperor Wanli could sell three or five houses and earn one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. Unexpectedly, after Sun Xian's fierce operation, he actually sold twenty-seven houses!
These twenty-seven families are not easy to mess with! They are either senior nobles or wealthy families. If their attacks come, they may not be able to handle them!
Sun Xian said dejectedly: "I don't know where the emperor got this secret recipe, but he was so ruthless that he attracted so many wealthy people to buy it. I almost died from this secret recipe."
Of course, Zhu Changluo couldn't say that the secret recipe came from him. At this time, Zhu Changluo was actually a little grateful to Emperor Wanli for his generosity. At least when he asked Sun Xian to sell the secret recipe, he didn't sell it to him directly.
Zhu Changluo thought for a long time and looked at Sun Xian's pitiful appearance. Although this fat man was greedy and slippery, he was very particular. He was a person who would do things with money and would never lose his integrity.
