Huang Laosi, who originally wanted to go to the palace to find happiness, met Master Zhiyu Fusan, and he became extremely confused.
After taking this sip of wine, my mouth was filled with the taste of Coptis chinensis.
If it were anyone else, they might not have any insights, just enjoy it.
The problem is that Huang Laosi is the emperor.
The exploited people are his people, just like the broken chopsticks.
The person who breaks the chopsticks is his minister, chosen by him.
This fucked up world is his country and he governs it.
So Fu San was basically pointing his finger at the fourth child and scolding him, "You can't do it, you're nothing, a loser, a waste."
After that, Huang Laosi still couldn't refute, because what Fu San said was absolutely right.
If you have money, you can be conscientious and care about the people, but there is a risk that someone will steal your family property.
Money and power are inseparable and complement each other, but there must be no conscience.
It is impossible to have money, power, conscience, and care for the people.
But this should obviously be possible, it is theoretically possible, but I just can't find such a person who has the power, money, care for the people, and a conscience.
Not to mention that Fu San has never seen him, and Huang Laosi has never seen him either. He is powerful, has a conscience, and cares about the people, but he has no money.
Fu San originally said it casually, but it turned out to be like a curse, tightly wrapped around Huang Laosi's head.
Because Huang Laosi thought of another thing. If he wants to be rich, it is not impossible. If he cleans up the aristocratic families and the ministers, he will definitely get money. The problem is that this is a bit unscrupulous. After all, many aristocratic families and ministers are here.
He made a lot of efforts when he ascended the throne.
Looking at Fu San who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Huang Laosi pointed at Chu Qing: "If you say so, wouldn't your young master also be a bad person? He cares about the people and has a conscience, but he is in a high position. What can he do?
, why can’t I do it?”
Master Zhiyu Fu Sanfeng said calmly: "My young master owes the Fu family 200,000 guan, and you also owe 200,000 guan?"
Fu San's expression and his little eyes were just short of saying "Are you worthy?" and he was even compared to my young master.
"Two hundred thousand yuan?!"
Huang Laosi was really shocked this time: "Why do you owe so much money?"
Chu Qing shrugged: "To get Zhang Songling."
"Confused."
Huang Laosi's eyes turned red again.
If you had told me earlier, you would have given me the 200,000 yuan, and I would have just thought of a way to kill Zhang Songling.
The more he thought about it, the more Huang Laosi felt that the world was not worth it.
Even though Huang Laosi is poor, he has settled the accounts clearly.
Zhang Songling only sent 40,000 to 50,000 yuan to the palace every month to spend on Qianqiying.
But if Chu Qing had told him this matter in advance, the emperor would have killed Zhang Songling directly, and Chu Qing would still be responsible for the expenses of the Qianqi Camp in the future, which would mean that he, Huang Laosi, had made two hundred thousand yuan for nothing, and he was very happy.
Unfortunately, the deal didn't go through.
Huang Laosi also didn't expect that the cost of hiring a right servant would be so high, and he was worried about the money.
"Damn it, let's go somewhere else." The more Huang Laosi looked at the teacups on the table, the angrier he became with chopsticks and the like: "Let's go somewhere else to drink. I feel unhappy."
Fu San suggested: "Master, let's go to the flower boat."
Chu Qing stayed away from places like this. He was not pretending to be a gentleman, but he had eaten there before and found it boring.
Just when he was about to refuse, Fu San looked at Huang Laosi and asked: "Is it still the fourth one who is the host?"
The fourth child said angrily: "Can you change my title?"
"What name should I change?"
"General."
"Oh, okay then, Fourth General, or are you going to be the host?"
Huang Laosi: "Don't have Laosi in front of you!"
"Oh, General Fourth, are you still the host?"
"Don't add it later!"
"Oh, Fourth Brother, are you still the host?"
The fourth child sighed: "Yes, the fourth child is sitting... I will be the host."
Fu San was so happy that he said to Chu Qing: "Then let's go to Huachuan and go to the property in the mansion."
"Industry in the mansion?"
"You have forgotten that Mr. Qiu transferred the flower boat he bought to my name."
Huang Laosi's expression changed slightly: "How come your Chu Mansion is still running the Fireworks and Willow Alley area?"
Chu Qing said angrily: "In order to deceive Songling, I spent five thousand dollars to get it. If the third brother didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it."
Huang Laosi didn't ask any more questions, and Fu San's eyes lit up: "Old Si, how about selling it to you? I bought it for 5,000 guan. How about selling it to you for 5,500 guan?"
Huang Laosi stood up and called the waiter to pay, automatically filtering what Fu San said.
Seeing Huang Laosi take out a lot of banknotes from his sleeves, Chu Qing smiled and said, "It's quite rich."
Huang Laosi was also happy and said nothing.
Isn't he rich? He just received 40,000 yuan from the Supreme Emperor. Chu Qing gave it to the Supreme Emperor.
They didn't take a few bites of the food and drank a lot of wine. The three of them had good drinking capacity and didn't have any influence. They strolled to the Liuhe River.
The flower boats are parked on the Liuhe River, and there are small boats on the shore. For a few cents, you can take people there.
Huang Laosi has nothing against this kind of place, nor does he like it. He just wants to find a place to have a good drink.
Of course, the fourth child did not expect Fu San to be so depressed. If he had known earlier, he would have prevented Chu Qing from bringing this guy.
After getting on the boat, Chu Qing looked around and recalled his "young and frivolous" years. He must know that half a year ago, he spent at least half of his time on the Liuhe River.
The Liuhe River was originally an artificial river. It expanded again and again. The riverbanks were filled with willow trees. In addition, the river was full of flower boats, which was called "the land of fireworks and willows, a gentle and wealthy place", hence the name. However, the people did not care about it.
It's called Green River or Jinghe. For scholars, it's called Liuhe, which I think is quite poetic. As for Chu Qing, I think it should be called Hongdeng River, which is easier to understand.
Huang Laosi was sitting on the boat, and he couldn't stop talking. He looked at Chu Qing and asked: "My dear brother, I think if we continue to dig here, can we develop water transportation industry?"
"Water transportation?" Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "It's such a big place, but it's just like a farmhouse."
"That's right. If we dig to the Lai and Qing rivers, to the Long, Qing and Tao rivers in the south, and then to the Weijiang River, we can greatly develop water transport."
"You're overthinking this. How much time, manpower and financial resources will be spent."
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
"You're just messing around." Fu San curled his lips: "Do you know how much money it will cost if you really do this?"
Huang Laosi looked suspicious: "Is it possible that you have calculated it?"
"I don't know, but I know that you definitely have no money, the imperial court has no money, and the emperor has no money even more. If you don't have money, you can talk nonsense."
Huang Laosi opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that Fu San's words were just four words, damn impeccable!
Yes, after all, you just have no money, so what can you say?
When mentioning money, Huang Laosi subconsciously looked at Chu Qing: "Brother Xian, if you have the final say, how can you earn money and food if you have the final say in the court?"
"Brother, you asked the wrong person. If you ask how to borrow money, I am an expert. Ever since I debuted, I have always been in negative equity. When it comes to borrowing money, I am a veteran. The more I owe, the more I owe."
"That's right." Fu Sanle said, "If you want to ask about earning money and food, fourth brother, you need to ask the court officials."
Huang Laosi looked confused: "Among the courtiers, who is proficient in business matters?"
"They are all proficient."
"Proficient in them all?" Huang Laosi looked like you are teasing me: "How come I don't know this?"
"That's why you're blind. The people are so poor that they can't even eat two meals a day. Looking at the courtiers, they wish they had eight meals a day. They are as rich as the others. They must have the Midas touch to turn gold into gold."
Chu Qing laughed loudly, realizing that Fu San was becoming more and more eloquent with his destructive words.
Huang Laosi was silent again.
Yes, the courtiers are rich, and they are squeezed out of the people. This Fu San is a bitch, and he pokes holes in his heart as soon as he opens his mouth.
Chu Qing was quite surprised: "I can't tell that you are quite worried about the country and the people."
"Young Master." Fu San nodded: "I also feel that the fourth child has a face that is concerned about the country and the people."
Huang Laosi: “…”
Chu Qing said casually: "But if you can really speak in the palace and speak in your master's ear, it will not be difficult to make money."
