Zhu Houcong had already said this, so naturally the two sides would not say anything more, at least not on the surface.
"Well, Gu Dayong, let's talk first. Let's report on the affairs in Henan and the flood relief situation. You should be a little familiar there." Zhu Houcong waved his hand, and he was in seclusion for such a long time. Time,
It’s really not enough. Be careful next time and make sure nothing goes wrong. Don’t think I’m dead for a while.
When I came out, I found that things had changed and a new emperor had ascended the throne. That would be bad.
"No, this trip to Henan has fulfilled our mission. We have purchased a large amount of food and entered Henan. In addition, the scope of the flood is quite considerable and the control of the victims is quite good. When we return, the local area has begun to resettle the victims.
Help them repair their houses and restore their fields. After the disaster, they quickly carried out rescue operations. The damage was not serious. This is all due to your majesty's civil and military skills and wise decisions..."
I have already begun to boast about it, but this is not just a casual boast. This time, due to His Majesty's vigorous and resolute actions, the treatment of the victims has indeed been in place. The officials below are also very motivated to do things, for fear of being arrested.
"Okay, okay, stop bragging. I am not an emperor who came from Jinwowo. I know very well what is going on. Those victims are lucky to be alive. I will exempt them from taxes for three years and let them recuperate." Zhu Houcong said.
He waved his hand, he was not easy to fool, but it was definitely effective.
After arresting so many people, if there is still a human-headed iron, then he will admit it. What to do about the iron-headed boy? Of course, catch him and chop him. Let’s see if it’s your head or my knife that’s stronger.
"Your Majesty is benevolent."
"There is nothing virtuous or unkind. Let's go on. How much money did we get in total this time?" These are all false. In fact, he made so much money and should subsidize some of it to the people so that they can recuperate and live better. What a pity.
, even if the money continues to be sown, it is impossible for him to keep an eye on this matter as long as it is in the hands of many people.
Money is not enough. He knows that after this battle, he will definitely not be in short supply. Once Yang Shen develops the medicine and Gu Dayong starts working, the money will continue to flow from now on. However, he is still curious about Gu Dayong's efforts this time.
How much money did it cost in total?
"Hey, it's not a lot. This time, a total of more than 15,000 people were captured and more than 1,300 people were killed. Including the capital's atonement silver, the total is more than 28 million taels. The total amount of gold and silver obtained from the confiscation of homes is
There are more than 20 million taels, and there are countless properties and shops, the value of which cannot be calculated for the time being."
Gu Dayong held his head high, he had an income of at least 50 million taels. On a normal day, he would have scraped Henan Province three times and still wouldn't be able to get this kind of money, but he can get it now, and he seems to have some spare energy.
Of course, the ransom money was collected from various places, but the 20 million was almost enough to wipe out Henan.
"Hiss~" Hearing this number, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but take a breath. It was so terrifying. He was playing so hard. I guess many people wanted to kill him.
Gu Da used this move to completely offend the imperial court and clean up the territory of Henan. Of course, Zhu Houcong became richer this time. After this wave, it can be said that everything is lacking, except that there is no shortage.
The money is enough to keep him busy for a while. When the money is almost enough, a new way to get money will be figured out.
Gu Dayong's little tail was almost raised to the sky. His Majesty's first mission was successfully completed. To be precise, it should be the second time. He overcompleted the mission. Even if he offended the civil and military officials of the court, so what, he just wanted to
He stands firmly on His Majesty's side, and everyone else is weak. Now His Majesty needs him. As long as he binds His Majesty firmly, who can stand him?
And as long as he helps His Majesty to obey the civil and military training of the Manchu Dynasty, who will dare to cause trouble for him in the future? He is not stupid, the Civil and Military Training of the Manchu Dynasty and His Majesty will always be on one side. He has no choice, he must stand firmly on His Majesty's side.
.
"This time it is indeed beyond my expectation. In this way, you give your land and shops to a man named Bai Chaohai, and then I will give you another three million, of which one million taels will be regarded as a reward for you. Here you go
I will not be stingy with rewards for those subordinates who work hard and I will not be stingy with rewards. The remaining two million is for your activity funds as the daily expenses of the East Factory."
Rich bosses should not be reluctant to spend money, because spending so much money proves that your employees will make more money for you, and only high welfare can mobilize their enthusiasm. Of course, we will talk about it separately if you are not making money.
The main thing is that he has money, and what he spends is money. What is left in the treasury is scrap metal. If he couldn't deal with those civil servants, he would really like to spend all the money on infrastructure construction.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Da said flatteringly, it was grand, it was really grand. His Majesty offered three million in one move, and the reward alone was one million. This Dongchang could not give out all the money even if it was distributed to all the staff.
Of course, he doesn't intend to put it all in his own pocket. It's meaningless. His Majesty will send it out as soon as he says it. He has copied so many houses and he doesn't know it. Money is illusory. Those corrupt officials have embezzled so much.
After the last house raid, didn’t all of them belong to His Majesty?
"Okay, let's do this for now. You can come back tonight. I have something to ask you, so go back first." Zhu Houcong waved his hand and said that he would talk to Gu Dayong tonight about the rescue excavation, gold and silver treasures and so on.
There is no shortage for the time being, but there are also some books, rare treasures and other things buried with them. These are good things.
This business can indeed be developed, and it is better to leave it alone than to make the best use of it.
"No." Gu Dayong agreed. It seems that he has a mission again. This relationship is good. It's great to have a mission. Having a mission means that he is valuable. Only valuable people can live a nourishing life.
After Gu Dayong left, Lu Fang and the others could no longer control their emotions, with tears in their eyes. They had been worried about them to death for the past month.
"Master~"
Bai Qingxue looked at you with a sense of panic. The three men looked at you with affectionate and aggrieved expressions. Thinking about it, it feels scary. The key is that this guy's smile is very kind, hiss~
Bai Qingxue shook her head, she couldn't stand it, she really couldn't stand it, she really couldn't accept it, she was a normal girl.
"Haha, I advise you to stop your fantasies, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen to you." Zhu Houcong glanced at the girl. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, he could tell by the look in her eyes that it was not good.
idea.
"Uh-huh~" Bai Qingxue quickly covered her mouth, acting as if I didn't say or do anything. Damn it, wuwuwu, what should I do? How should I go on with my life from now on?
My life is so miserable.
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Houcong's mouth. It was quite cute. It would be fun to have it as a mascot next to him. But his martial arts was really bad. He should practice more diligently in the future.
