"It's not all polished rice, there's also millet." After seeing his father's reaction, Qin Rui reflected on whether he wanted too much?...
"Millet is also a grain!" Qin Liyang's hands were shaking with excitement! He had wanted 1,500 dans before, but he couldn't compress them any more! His own son asked for 3,000 dans in one mouthful. He is really rich! "How much do you want?
Money?" Qin Liyang asked a little uneasily.
He has never met the princess, but his wife said that the princess is a gentle and generous girl, but this is real money and silver. She opened a shop before she married Qin Rui. This is not the Qin family.
My own things may not even count as dowry, they are still the personal belongings of the princess.
Qin Liyang is very clear about this. Since you use other people's things, you must pay for them.
"The princess promised to give us the cost." Qin Rui said. He and his father were not polite. They originally wanted to use the money to buy food. Now wouldn't it be better to buy it in their own shop? Besides, the princess gave it to us.
The price is already the lowest. If it is shipped from Beijing and the freight is included, the price will almost double...
"How much is that?" Qin Liyang's eyes lit up.
"A total of twelve thousand taels of silver." Qin Rui said.
"The princess is really grand!" Qin Liyang gasped when he heard this, and said, "She won't lose money!" Qin Liyang knew the market price, and he was willing to pay more than 10,000 taels to buy 1,500 tons of grain before.
I bought it at the market price. After all, the grain in the hands of the rice merchant was not only rice, but also whole grains such as millet and sorghum. These coarse grains were even less valuable if they were sandwiched in! Just like that, the man was still talking like a lion.
Thirty thousand taels!
The loss is definitely a loss! Qin Rui knows it well, doesn't the cost of transportation not count? These grains are kept at the Ministry of War, and I am afraid that when I go back to claim the bill, the shipping fee will also be a large amount!
"Father, the princess is one of our own, she won't care about this." Qin Rui cupped his hands and said, "It's just that we can't lose too much to her."
When Qin Rui said this, everyone understood. The twelve thousand taels of silver were a real loss!
"Okay, okay. Special treatment at special times." Qin Liyang also understood. He nodded and asked the butler to count the twelve thousand taels of silver notes and hand them to Qin Rui, "You can use it to subsidize the princess first. As for the rest,
, we will make up for it in the future!”
"Understood!" Qin Rui took the banknote and kept it without counting it, "Father, did this money go to our family's own account?"
"Yes." Qin Liyang nodded.
"My son has something he doesn't know whether to say or not." Qin Rui said, cupping his fists.
"What you said is what you have to say. Why bother saying it? Just say it!" Qin Liyang waved his hand in a funny way and said.
"Father, the 200,000 troops in Mobei are my father's hard work. Many of them are old men who followed my father in the north and south. They can be said to be my father's brothers or nephews. My father can't bear them to suffer a loss. These sons understand it, but my father has never thought about it.
No, if these more than ten thousand taels of silver are taken from the account of our handsome manor, we will inevitably be criticized and said that we are secretly disobedient! Has father thought about this?" Qin Rui said seriously.
Qin Liyang frowned, "As a father, I have never thought about this, but how do I explain this to the soldiers? They will be disappointed!"
Qin Liyang is right, and Qin Rui also understands. After all, if they are stationed in such a bitter and cold place, if the court wants to deduct their rations, it will really make people angry. If it is not handled well, there is a possibility of military remonstrance.
of……
"But you can't just buy this order for the imperial court in a daze!" Qin Rui said bitterly.
"Yes, what fifth brother said makes sense." Dalang nodded after some thought, "Father, either we can't afford this money, or we can raise money by selling some things.
But our reputation for making this money is unjust and unjust, and there is indeed a problem!"
"Yes, father." The other brothers also nodded. "If we are tricked by ginseng, we will actually do bad things with good intentions!"
What his sons said, how could Qin Liyang not know that he was really in trouble!
"In your opinion, this money is going to the military camp's main account?" Qin Liyang thought for a moment and asked.
"You can go with whatever account you have to pay! The things bought with this money are all given to the soldiers!" Qin Rui said sternly, "Not a single thing falls into the pockets of our old Qin family, why can't we go to the military camp?
Big account? Otherwise, father can summon the high officials in Mobei to
The senior officers held a meeting and told them the situation. After all, my father had evidence in his hand that the Ministry of War had deducted our rations. No one would believe it. This account has just gone to the public account this time. If the next ration is again
If there is a problem, my father will directly join them!"
"My father and the Minister of the Ministry of War have been friends for many years..." Qin Liyang was a little hesitant. After all, the Minister of the Ministry of War has never made any mistakes in all these years...
"Father, if he really cared about this friendship, I wouldn't be here now! And he deducted all our food and grass without even an explanation. He still needs to write a letter to ask in person," Qin Rui said.
When everyone heard this, they all thought that Qin Rui was sent to Mobei by the Ministry of War the day after they got married. Is this considered friendship? Anyone who has some friendship would not do this. In addition, the matter of withholding food and grass this time...
...The Ministry of War didn’t even give an explanation. They wanted to put Marshal Zhenbei on the fire!
"Father, we care about friendship, but others don't!" Dalang also echoed.
"Yes, if we do this this time, think about whether they will use this as an excuse to attack us? It's already difficult for my mother in the capital!" Erlang nodded.
Qin Liyang raised his eyes and looked around at his sons. His face was as calm as water. After a while, he nodded, "You are right! If I still care about our friendship, I am afraid that I will be dragged to death by this friendship. This matter
Just do as Xiao Wu said, I will go to the main account to discuss the matter!"
Hearing what their father said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Wu, you should let the housekeeper keep the money. We don't need our own money this time." Qin Liyang said.
"Yes." Qin Rui quickly handed the banknote back to the housekeeper Qin Shu, who carefully put it away.
"By the way, dad, I'm not a senior officer, so I don't have the opportunity to go to the Chinese army's tent. How about I go see my second uncle?" Qin Rui said with a smile.
