He said that he knew that Chen Yan was rich, but he was an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs and had no money. He was just kidding.
Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said that he would mortgage his palace in Beijing to get 500 yuan.
Chu Qing was astonished.
He had heard of people who mortgaged their houses to make movies, but never heard of people who mortgaged their houses to build houses for others.
Tao Shaozhang also left, saying he was going back to look at the accounts, and would reveal the matter in the morning in a few days. At the same time, he left a letter for Chu Qing to take to Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs to "secondment" the banker.
Chu Qing always felt uneasy.
Because Tao Shaozhang still acted very unreliable, saying that Zhuangzi was in charge of his sister, the eldest daughter of the Tao family.
Looking at Tao Shaozhang's expression, one can tell that his sister doesn't seem to give Tao Shaozhang the respect of his eldest brother. I can't guarantee whether she can borrow someone.
Shortly after the two left, Chu Qing came to Qiu Wanshan's cell.
As soon as he entered the room, Chu Qing said directly: "Five hundred coins, and then find a way to help me raise five hundred coins."
"Five hundred guans?" Qiu Wanshan was stunned: "What about your face?"
"Tao Shaozhang, the young minister of Dali Temple, just left my room. In a few days, he revealed the tax affairs of Xiao County. He revealed it during the morning court."
Qiu Wanshan's expression changed drastically: "Is this true?"
"If I lie, you will call me daddy on the spot."
Qiu Wanshan's expression changed again and again, and he murmured: "If Tao Shaozhang exposes this matter, the emperor will definitely be furious, and he will probably ask the Ministry of Revenue. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue can follow the trend to investigate the matter, and then use this matter as a lead.
, throw out all the ways in the world... In this way, Master Wei, my officials, and Hu Bu can make others think that we are all helpless, and even if we want to hate him, we hate Tao Shaozhang, not Hu Bu! "
Raising his head suddenly, Qiu Wanshan laughed: "Okay, Brother Chu Xian is really full of evil... full of culture, Taoism and martial arts, good."
Chu Qing sighed silently.
Tao Shaozhang is not stupid, and even a fool cannot be the young minister of Dali Temple.
It's just that this man is too upright, as upright as a fool.
Chu Qing believed extremely that even if he and Tao Shaozhang told the truth, saying that Wei Changfeng and the Ministry of Household Affairs wanted to check the accounts of Xiao County and Tianxia but were hesitant, Tao Shaozhang would still come forward, would still not be afraid of offending other officials, and would still understand
Even if you know it's a trap, you'll jump into it.
Even if Tao Shaozhang is really a fool, is Chen Yan also a fool?
No, not only was Chen Yan not a fool, he was also an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs. How could he not know the truth? How could he not warn Tao Shaozhang? But this young minister of Dali Temple still found the Ministry of Household Affairs and found himself.
Two classrooms, only a few dozen steps apart, two worlds, two kinds of people.
If he had a choice, Chu Qing hoped that he would be in Chen Yan's class room, together with Tao Shaozhang and Chen Yan, denounced the world's ills and denounced all corrupt officials, instead of being in Qiu Wanshan's class room, studying how to deceive others with the minister.
"Master Qiu."
As if by mistake, Chu Qing said with a complex expression: "Have you ever thought about it, sometimes, you go to trick others, not because of how smart you are, or how stupid they are, maybe... maybe just... because of the person who was tricked
People, they hope they will be cheated, because only by being cheated can they seek justice."
Qiu Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly: "What did you just say?"
"I said the people who were cheated..."
"I'm asking you what you said when you first started."
"Oh, yes, do you have five hundred strings? Lend them to me first."
"No."
After finishing speaking, Qiu Wanshan continued to look at the desk, looking very busy.
"Okay." Chu Qing was not very surprised and said to himself: "Then I will tell Mr. Tao that this matter is not urgent. Take your time. Mr. Wei is the one who is anxious anyway. Mr. Wei is anxious, so just
I have to find you, so I’ll take my leave.”
"Wait a minute."
Chu Qing chuckled and said, "Five hundred strings."
"No."
"Farewell."
"Wait a minute."
Chu Qing was a little anxious: "You are also a minister after all. Can you please stop talking about the number with me? Five hundred strings, just tell me if it's okay."
"I don't have five hundred guan." Qiu Wanshan smiled slightly: "But I can save 500 guan for you."
"What's the meaning?"
Qiu Wanshan stood up, closed the door, and stretched his head out of the window to look around.
Chu Qing knew as soon as he saw the other party's appearance that Qiu Wanshan would definitely have nothing good to say.
Sure enough, Qiu Wanshan lowered his voice and said with a sinister smile: "Let me ask you, who was this Taowu Hall repaired for?"
"For my father."
"No, it's for the emperor."
Chu Qing's face was full of surprise: "You mean, the emperor is my relative..."
After a pause, Chu Qing was stunned: "That's not right, isn't the emperor only in his thirties? He can't be in his teens..."
Qiu Wanshan quickly covered Chu Qing's mouth: "You don't know how to live or die, you don't want to kill me for your head!"
Chu Qing slapped Qiu Wanshan's arm off: "What does your hand smell like? Did you eat durian?"
Qiu Wanshan's face was full of embarrassment, and then Chu Qing saw that this guy was barefoot and not wearing official boots in the squad room.
"Holy shit, can you be more polite and stop telling me that you just picked your feet?"
"Oh, let's talk about something serious. I have a way to save you a lot of money. Do you want to listen or not?"
"Listen." Chu Qing took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth vigorously and spit it out the window: "Beep beep."
"This Taowu Hall was built for the emperor. It is not an ordinary house. You are right."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"There are regulations for the palace in the imperial city. Just talking about the wood, we can't all use ordinary wood. At least, we have to use a lot of golden nanmu. This golden nanmu has a price but no market. How can it be found in the market?
They are for sale, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has them."
Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the palace's logistics, and there must be a lot of high-quality stone and wood."
"That's right, your father is renovating the palace for the emperor. You can't just take it lightly. The stone and wood materials must comply with regulations, but they must comply with regulations. Many of the materials are only available to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't accept your money."
Chu Qing nodded thoughtfully: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs must have some in stock. The emperor does not allow them to sell them privately. They are all used for the construction of the palace. I am building the Taowu Palace, and it is reasonable for them to provide some materials.
"
"That's it. Let's talk about this golden nanmu. For example, if you say that this palace pillar needs fifteen pieces of high-quality golden nanmu, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask for it. They will not refuse to give it, but after you ask for it, you will
I found that I don't need fifteen, seven or eight are enough. It would be too troublesome to send them back. Why don't you order people to transport the remaining golden nanmu out of the imperial city? Brother Yu is familiar with a merchant and has a close relationship. Let him hand it over to him.
If you sell it and change hands, it will be a huge profit. Brother Yu and you can divide it into sixty-four cents. In addition to this golden nanmu, there is also..."
"It's up to your uncle Qiu Wanshan to let me steal the wood from the palace and resell it!" Chu Qing finally came to his senses: "Are you still a human being?"
Qiu Wanshan was startled and tried to cover Chu Qing's mouth again.
"Oh, if it doesn't work, it won't work. I'm just joking."
"Are you joking, asking me to bear the responsibility of decapitation?" Chu Qing pushed Qiu Wanshan away: "We were just divided into four cities, are you talking in human language?"
Qiu Wanshan was stunned and looked confused.
Chu Qing sneered: "At least five to five!"
Qiu Wanshan asked subconsciously: "Who is five?"
"Farewell." Chu Qing turned around and left, completely giving up on this idea.
One was the fear of being caught, and the other was that he felt that Qiu Wanshan might have some issues with his IQ. If he collaborated with such an idiot to commit a crime, it would be a matter of time before he was caught.
