To be honest, when the Shanshan businessman raised the price to 250,000 taels, Feng Ziying still felt a little guilty.
In case Zhang Chi doesn't follow up, the 250,000 taels fall into his hands. Although he can get it, it obviously only costs 150,000 to 60,000 taels to buy it, but it still costs 250,000 taels.
It would be a bit painful to have money to buy it.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi did not disappoint himself and increased the price by five thousand taels to follow up. Then he would naturally give up and let this guy be proud first. He would soon realize that as the "Left Supervisor of the Country", the country was in dire straits.
Under such circumstances, if you don't think about planning for the country, but show off your wealth on these things, what a huge price you will pay.
Feeling very happy, she went out and got on the car. From a distance, she saw the proud Shou Wang Zhang Chi also going out to board the car. Feng Ziying walked over generously and bowed her hands: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for taking over the second house of Rongning, this house."
It will definitely make the prince's stay comfortable..."
"Ziying, don't blame me. I like this place too much. I plan to renovate it as a separate house in the future. It will be fun to stay here for a while in the summer." Zhang Chi said hypocritically: "You are not
Do you like it too? Then you should also make a bid."
"Hey, Ziying was originally hoping to get it at the lowest price. Who would have thought that someone would increase the price, so she would have to give up with regret." Feng Ziying also said in a fake tone.
Zhang Chi was stunned. It turned out that this guy just came to quote a price and then gave up. Who was the second buyer? After so many rounds of bidding with him, he was stunned to get more than 250,000 taels. At the beginning, Lai Da also said 200,000 taels.
I can definitely buy it for 10,000 taels, and I never thought it would exceed my estimate of 50,000 taels.
His mood was a little complicated. Zhang Chi glanced at Feng Ziying. Didn't this guy say that he had deep feelings for Rongguo Mansion? Why did he give up without even paying the first price? Could it be that this guy deliberately said those words in front of him to provoke him?
I had a desire to win, but ended up falling into this trap?
His cheeks twitched, and Zhang Chi could only smile reluctantly, "Haha, I just want to spend money to buy something I like. I think it's okay."
"As long as His Highness thinks it's worth it, I'm happy if it's hard to buy it with money." Feng Ziying also nodded in agreement, then said goodbye and left.
Zhang Chi chewed Feng Ziying's words and seemed to feel that they were a bit teasing, but he couldn't say anything and could only leave in a depressed manner.
When Feng Ziying returned to the house, she quietly called Cao Yu and briefly explained the situation of today's bidding. She only said that the left prisoner Guoshou Wang Zhangchi had spent a huge sum of money to buy a luxury house and asked "Today News" to take what method he should take to deal with the situation.
A discussion on this matter does not necessarily require much negative criticism. It is just an introduction to discuss the matter, hype it up, and let everyone inside and outside know about it.
As long as the hype starts, those who have long disliked Zhang Chi and even took pains to find Zhang Chi's loopholes will use it as if they have found a treasure.
*******
"Congratulations, sir, this sale is a great success..." When Feng Ziying saw the smiling Huang Ruliang, she also smiled and congratulated, "Ziying has successfully completed your instructions and lived up to the expectations of the court."
"Haha, Ziying, this time it all depends on your methods." Huang Ruliang sighed with emotion.
I had always been worried that the sale would not go as expected, but I never thought that the result would be far better than I predicted. Especially after the policy adjustment of anonymous bidding and delayed transfer, almost everyone became anonymous bidding, and the bidding
The number of people also greatly exceeded imagination.
Although the bidding price is much lower than the previous round, this has long been expected, and such a large quantity also ensures that the proceeds from this round of sales will be enough to meet the needs of the court in the future.
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating. Ziying is just a suggestion. The key is to make the imperial court's policies more flexible so that Jiangnan merchants can have channels to serve the imperial court." Feng Ziying smiled, "In a sense, this is actually
It is an absolutely cost-effective win-win policy. For their contribution and support to the imperial court, they can also put their minds at ease. It is impossible for them to serve the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty wholeheartedly, and they will even stand on our side at some critical moments."
"Well, Ziying, what you said makes sense, but in the final analysis, it is still the result of the battle in Shandong. These businessmen are very capable of adapting to the changing circumstances. Once our war does not go well, I am afraid that their thoughts will come to life again, and they may be angry again.
I have to take the initiative to serve the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty." Huang Ruliang sighed.
"This is inevitable, and even they have already made bets on both sides now, but money and food are also very needed for the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty, but they are far less important than ours. What the Nanjing imperial court lacks is an army that can fight, but this
But it can't be solved by money alone." Feng Ziying calmly said, "If the sea transportation is continuous, the supplies are continuous, and the army is not in chaos, we will win."
Feng Ziying's affirmative tone seemed to make Huang Ru feel relieved. During this period, he was also under great pressure. He was trying to stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi and planned sufficient food and pay for the two armies in the north and west. This was not simple.
Fortunately, thanks to Feng Ziying's advice and suggestions, the big problem was solved.
"Ziying, I love hearing your words like this. I also hope that both the government and the public can have this kind of confidence. Then we will be invincible." Huang Ruliang said with enthusiasm.
"But I heard there is still some noise coming out?" Feng Ziying asked pretending to be casual.
Huang Ruliang got angry when Feng Ziying mentioned this, "Huh, you have great ambitions but few talents, and you are so complacent. No wonder the emperor..., you are talking about the matter of King Shou and King Lu, right? This has really become a joke in the capital. Wait.
At that time, King Shou, you are going to serve the imperial court and take the trouble of the imperial court to bid for the mansion. It is true, but it has been hyped up. It is said that it is the sky-high price of the mansion sold by the imperial court. Why is it that someone has taken advantage of it and said that he is bidding for it?
The origin of the money is unknown. It was taken from someone else to handle official donation matters for someone else. It caused a huge fuss, and there was a lot of noise inside and outside the capital..."
When Huang Ruliang mentioned this, he shook his head repeatedly.
King Lu seized on this matter and hyped it up, saying that King Shou not only took money from people to run for office, but also paid for prostitutes, gamblers, and loan sharks. Otherwise, how could he get more than 200,000 taels of silver in one move?
Buying a house?
Pots of dirty water were poured on King Shou's head, causing him to suffer a great deal.
You have to defend yourself. Many things have their own reasons and no solid evidence. Either they are true but there are discrepancies, or the person involved has disappeared and cannot be found. In short, it is a complete mess.
Not to be outdone, Prince Shou criticized Mei Yuexi for engaging in litigation in his hometown, involving many cases. There was even a person who was a juren and was willing to come forward to report, which also caused a big uproar in the court.
Imperial Concubine Xu and Imperial Concubine Mei even argued and cursed each other in the palace, and finally got into trouble with the cabinet, both demanding that the other party be relieved of his status as a supervisor.
The cabinet has no choice but to push it to the Zongren Mansion for investigation. Naturally, such matters cannot be resolved in a day or two, and it is not known whether there will be a result in the end.
"The cabinet is probably a little disappointed, right?" Feng Ziying smiled, "Is the idea I came up with to control the second supervisory country a bad idea?"
"Haha, this is because you are not living up to your expectations. Who can blame you? If you are honest, who can spread rumors and frame you?" Huang Ruliang curled his lips disapprovingly.
"Then Prince Fu, Prince Li, and Prince Gong, aren't they enjoying the benefits of being fishermen?" Feng Ziying blinked.
"Now, King Shou and King Lu are beginning to suspect that King Fu, King Li, and Prince Gong are deliberately stirring up trouble in the middle, trying to pull them down. Now they have stopped making peace, and are starting to look for faults with King Fu, King Li, and Prince Gong."
Huang Ruliang also shook his head, "It's impossible to find out this kind of thing clearly. Today's News, Northern Express and other newspapers said that they received anonymous letters and submitted articles. It was so conclusive that they also sent people to find out.
, there are indeed such things, so they were disclosed without naming names. Who would have thought that these people would take the initiative themselves? How stupid!"
Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes she just wanted to fan the flames and create some trouble for the other party. Who would have thought that the fire would become so intense that even she could not predict it.
"The cabinet should teach you a lesson. Although this prison is just a temporary thing, the exposure of such messy things from time to time is also a kind of damage to the prestige of the court." Feng Ziying said calmly, "Over time, the people
His reputation will also affect the government's future policy strategy."
"Who says it's not the case? King Shou went to the Ministry of Household Affairs again and said that he didn't want to buy the house. He originally only paid a deposit of thirty thousand taels, but he still owed more than two hundred thousand taels after giving birth. Now that the situation is like this, it is clear that he is
I don't dare to pick up this hot potato anymore, lest I be criticized." Huang Ruliang said helplessly: "How can we go back on our word..."
"How can anyone be a gentleman?" Feng Ziying continued in a low voice.
Huang Ruliang glared at Feng Ziying, "I didn't say anything, so don't talk nonsense either."
The two chatted and laughed again, and also talked about the matter of Shenku in this section.
It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Because of this farce, neither King Shou nor King Lu could make any more trouble with the materials and money in Shen's treasury. Therefore, the Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Industry decided to mobilize talents from the refugees to repair the streets of the entire capital city.
The surface and ditch issues were smoothly promoted.
When I returned to the mansion from the Ministry of Household Affairs, I learned that there was news from Shanshan businessmen that one of the bidders from the Ministry of Household Affairs asked if they were still interested in buying the second house in Rongning. The Ministry of Household Affairs will reschedule the auction and welcome customers who have participated in the auction to continue.
To take part.
It seems that King Shou resigned from the business and took away his 30,000 taels of silver deposit, refusing to take over the hot potato that had caused an unreasonable disaster. This was also the first time that the imperial court had suffered from twice-cooked pork since the sale.
