Zhao Wenhua was stunned by Tan Xinren's bold idea, and was a little impressed for a moment.
"Are you fucking crazy? This is the capital! The capital! What do the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses do for food? What do the people in the patrol camps all over the street do for food? Do you work as a Jin Yiwei for a living?"
Tan Xinren's eyes were already burning red with fear and hatred, and his voice was unusually tough in front of Zhao Wenhua: "Tiger also takes a nap! I can't sit still and wait for death! Although there is still glutinous rice among the people, so much needs to be collected in a short time.
It’s simply impossible! It’s me who will lose everything in the end, it’s me!”
Tan Xinren made the most critical point: if the construction period was delayed in the end, Xiao Feng's backstage would not pay him ten times the compensation and three hundred thousand taels of silver. He was already a golden toilet, so he couldn't do it.
Instead, he is finished. It will only take a little effort for these people to support another businessman.
But he will be completely ruined. So he must fight to the death and tie these guys to his broken boat.
Zhao Wenhua also saw through his thoughts, and his tone became softer: "Lao Tan, I don't care about your life or death. But think about it, what are you trying to rob? It's not a piece of paper or a treasure.
Go to the door with a smile on your face, and run away when you succeed. What you want to rob is hundreds of shi of glutinous rice! It needs to be transported slowly and hidden in a place. Do you want to lead a convoy to rob it?"
Zhao Wenhua originally just analyzed the feasibility of the matter for him, but unexpectedly, he woke up the dreamer with one sentence. Tan Xinren's eyes lit up!
"You can't rob Nuomi, but I can rob people! I can rob paper! Mr. Zhao, I plan to attack both ways!"
Zhao Wenhua was stunned. This word sounded so serious, as if he had heard someone say Yan Shifan before, but he had no time to pay attention to these details at this time: "How about a two-pronged approach?"
"Send a team of troops to kidnap Zhang Tianci's daughter! As long as his daughter is in our hands, we are not afraid that he will not hand over the glutinous rice. I am not robbing, I am buying it with money, and no one can make a mistake! If he dares not to sell it,
, or if you dare to report it to the official, I will vote against you!"
Zhao Wenhua's heart was pounding: This bastard seems to be really trying to get things out of hand. Today's Zhang Tianci is not the Zhang Tianci of the past. He is Xiao Feng's man, and Xiao Feng can speak directly to Tian Ting with just one sentence!
But he couldn't stop Tan Xinren, this guy's eyes were red.
"Send another team of people, preferably master thieves, to sneak into Xiao Feng's house and steal the document that says ten times the compensation! The document is in four copies. I have one copy, the Ministry of Works has one, and the Daolu Department
One share for Xiao Feng. The Ministry of Industry and the Daolu Department rely on Master Yan and Master Yan to work together. As long as Xiao Feng’s share is gone, there will be no evidence to prove it!”
Zhao Wenhua hurriedly said: "I think the second method is good! Don't use the first method yet. Don't worry, leave the documents from the Ministry of Industry to me to destroy. The Daolu Department asked Yan Shoufu to come forward to put pressure. It will definitely not happen.
question!"
Tan Xinren breathed a sigh of relief and regained his flattering expression: "Then it's all up to the adults!"
At this time, Xiao Feng was chatting with Jiajing in the palace. Yes, it was said to be a discussion of Taoism, but in Xiao Feng's opinion, it was just a chat. It was similar to the high-end business bureau of later generations. Jiajing even asked two little maids to be responsible for pouring tea.
Xiao Feng looked at these two little palace ladies aged thirteen or fourteen, and couldn't help but think of the red lead pill, and then inevitably thought of his cheap father Xiao Wannian, and felt a little emotional.
Jiajing misunderstood, and he was fighting wits and courage with the ministers, but he could only relax when facing this young junior brother. Seeing that Xiao Feng was not in high spirits, he couldn't help but joked: "I heard that junior brother has different hobbies, which is an ancient road.
It's a pity that this is a royal palace, senior brother, and everyone over the age of twenty-five has been released from the palace, but these little girls are no longer in the eyes of junior brother."
Xiao Feng secretly cursed Jiajing Lao Sepi, but his face was calm and calm: "This is a slanderous word from outside, and my senior brother made fun of it. It's just that when I met the immortal master, the immortal master threw me in his study."
, let me study "Cangjie Heavenly Book" diligently. My senior brother knows my youthful nature, and I am happy to see hunting. I see there are many fairy books in the study, how can I concentrate on reading only one book.
So while the immortal master was away, I secretly read a few other books, but the time was too short, and I just glanced at them. I almost forgot about them when I woke up. But since I often come to my senior brother's place to drink tea and talk about Taoism, I probably have a lot of experience.
Thanks to my senior brother's Taoist spirit, I can actually remember some of them here and there."
Xiao Feng's horse shooting was very solid, which made Jiajing feel very happy. Moreover, Xiao Feng hinted that in addition to "Cangjie Heavenly Book", he had also peeked at other fairy books. This made Jiajing drool with envy, and he quickly asked
: "What did you remember? Tell me about it, senior brother."
Xiao Feng frowned in distress and said hesitantly: "I feel that the memory is still in the process of recovery. There are only sporadic fragments and it is not very clear. I just vaguely remember a book that says that when it comes to men and women, the top is the way of heaven, and the bottom is the yin and yang.
, It is the way of nature to make things come true. Because I remember these few words, I naturally have no feelings for the little girl, but I feel very good for the older woman."
Xiao Feng had spoken very carefully, but Jiajing's face still turned cold for a moment.
This is the emperor. Even if what others say is unintentional, as long as it doesn't sit well with his ears, he can always define it as arrogance before the emperor.
What's more, Xiao Feng didn't say it carelessly, he said it on purpose. He just added some sporadic memories in front of it, peeking at fairy books and other big hats covered by clouds and mountains, to ensure that he would not be unlucky.
It should be said that Xiao Feng's foreshadowing worked. After Jiajing's face changed for a moment, it returned to normal, and curiosity took over: "Is there more?"
Xiao Fengxin said that's about it. If you say too much at once, you won't be able to digest it. If you get suspicious again, I will be in trouble. This matter must be subtle and simmer slowly.
He shook his head innocently: "Now I can think of a few scattered things every day. When I think of something new, I will share it with my senior brother immediately."
Sure enough, this move was easy to accept and successfully dispelled Jiajing's bad mood. He originally suspected that Xiao Feng was insinuating him, but now he felt that he was overly concerned. At the same time, he changed the topic: "Your world view
, was the construction going smoothly?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiajing's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Feng, who was full of grief and anger, with confusion - why did his junior brother react so loudly?
Xiao Feng said angrily: "Senior brother knows that I have never thought of using a single cent of the money to build this Taoist temple for personal use. Dao Lusi said that the total donation has reached 30,000 taels, so I asked him to use all 30,000 taels for the Taoist temple."
superior."
Jiajing nodded. He knew about this matter. An Si Zheng had reported it to him in detail and repeatedly praised Master Xiao for his selflessness and deep Taoism.
“But Natanji Construction was working hard. After winning the project, they used various excuses to drag it back and forth in an attempt to delay the construction period and increase costs.
Senior brother, this Taoist temple was originally supposed to be completed in the spring to respond to the rising energy of heaven and earth and to increase the national luck for the Ming Dynasty. If this continues, it will definitely be delayed until summer. There is so much rain in summer and the epidemic is heavy. How can it increase the national luck?
It’s obviously damaging to the country’s destiny!”
Jiajing frowned. He didn't care so much about people moving up and down or adding costs, because this was really nothing new in the Ming Dynasty. Even his own palace construction project, others would also help. As long as it wasn't too much,
He just pretended not to know.
But delaying the construction period and damaging the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty are different. In the past, he turned a blind eye to many things in order to concentrate on cultivating Taoism, but since Xiao Feng pointed out that he must rely on enhancing the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty in order to ascend to immortality, he has
North Korea and China are more concerned about major affairs than before.
"This is your Taoist temple, you can make the decision. The important thing is not to delay the construction period." Jiajing gave Xiao Feng reassurance.
Xiao Feng took out a piece of paper from his arms: "Brother, this is the project document. If I predict it correctly, accidents will happen to the documents of the Ministry of Works, the Daolu Department and Tanji Construction in the past few days. I am here
This document may not be safe, so I have an unkind request, and I would like to ask you to keep it for me for a few days."
Jiajing couldn't help but laugh: "It's nothing, Huang Ban, just put it away." Huang Jin, who was waiting nearby, smiled and took the document and nodded to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng said in an understatement: "Xinren is trying to get rich but is unkind and bullies and dominates the market. This time he wants to compensate ten times the cost, which is 300,000 taels. I want to apply for 50,000 taels for the purpose of joining the world and preaching. Senior brother is the leader of Taoism in the world.
First of all, I often use my own funds to subsidize the Taoist sect. For the remaining 250,000 taels, I would like to ask my senior brother to take care of it for me. I also hope that my senior brother can help me."
Jiajing's eyes were slightly closed to cover up the unconscious flash of his eyes. Huang Jin secretly admired that Xiao Feng was really a character.
Although Jiajing was the emperor and was nominally wealthy, in fact the household funds and internal funds were separated. If Jiajing wanted to practice Taoism, refine elixirs, and build Taoist temples, he had to pay from his own pocket. However, the emperor's income was more limited than people imagined.
Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty nominally had twelve internal treasuries, in fact most of them were fake. The real gold and silver came from two sources.
The first is state support, which means that the annual treasury income of the Ming Dynasty is used by the emperor and his family according to a certain proportion. This is a real meat and fat soup that is also thick, without meat and a pot of water. In addition to the relatively wealthy period of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court
The overall income is not very high, so this part of the income can only be considered moderate.
The second is gold and silver, which is a new invention. Because taxes paid in the south are often calculated in terms of rice, silk, cloth, etc., but these things have to be transported to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The warehouse is not big enough, and it is difficult to pay wages in cash.
It was inconvenient, so I asked for it to be converted into silver.
But in the Ming Dynasty, wages were not paid in silver, but in meters, so it needed to be converted again.
Financial experts have said that as long as there is an exchange place, there will be a price difference. So the emperor became the middleman and earned the difference between the two conversions. This income is quite considerable because of the large volume.
But even so, the emperor's expenses were too high. Not to mention that there were so many people in a large family who needed to eat and dress. Even the emperor's appearance had to be supported by a small treasury.
Otherwise, Jiajing waved his hand and said: "I will reward so-and-so a thousand taels of silver!" Huang Jin had to whisper in his ear: "Long live, we don't have a thousand taels in our treasury, why don't we write an IOU to the Ministry of Accounts to borrow some..."
"How embarrassing is that?
And the most important thing is that sometimes the Ministry of Finance will not borrow money at all! There must be a reason for borrowing money, and the reason must be legitimate! For example, all the expenses Jiajing spent on monasticism were considered unfair by the scholars in the Ministry of Finance, and they would not borrow money.
.
Therefore, Jiajing would turn a blind eye to Yan Dang's various behaviors, because Yan Song could best help him collect money from the treasury to support his monastic career.
Now Yan Song has a rival. Xiao Feng not only helps his senior brother to collect money from the small treasury, but also helps him enhance his luck in the Ming Dynasty. This is a combination of internal and external cultivation. If Jiajing is compared to a pervert, then Yan Song is a beauty, and Xiao Feng
She is a beautiful woman with culture and temperament, both internally and externally.
The corners of Jiajing's mouth slowly raised, and his tone was filled with relief: "What do I need your money for? I'll save it for you first, and ask for it from me when you need it."
