Chapter 994 IOU

Qin Chuchu looked at the powerful and bold characters on the paper and opened her mouth in surprise.

"Father, this cannot be exchanged for silver!"

I thought it was a new version of a check or a banknote, but it turned out to be an IOU.

Hearing his daughter say this, Emperor Beihan nodded confidently.

"Of course I can. I'll give it to you when my father has money."

After saying that, he sighed deeply.

"Alas, although our hot pot restaurant business is good, there are many places where money is needed. You know that we in Beihan have also dug a lot of greenhouses, and the labor and materials cost a lot of money!"

After saying that, he looked at the confused eunuch Xishan again and winked at him.

“………………”Eunuch Xishan was stunned.

But he quickly came to his senses and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, the emperor is right. Ever since we dug up those greenhouses, we haven't had enough silver. We are short of it."

As Grandpa Xishan spoke, he grinned, but his smile was so stiff.

The emperor is really something. He didn't even inform him in advance about this.

I was also surprised when I saw the words on the paper just now. No wonder I didn’t bring the silver notes prepared by the prince.

This was not intended to be given to the second princess at all. This is indeed not right. If the prince knew about it, he would be unhappy.

No wonder the late queen often said that the emperor was stingy when she was alive. She really didn't do him any injustice.

Even though I feel that this is not a good thing to do, I still have to cooperate.

Seeing that Xishan cooperated quite well, Emperor Beihan nodded again.

"That's right! We can't afford the money, otherwise the construction of Mingzhu Road wouldn't have stopped halfway through.

Zhuzhu, you don’t know, the remaining half of the journey was very difficult, and it almost broke Father’s bones.”

As he spoke, he touched his old bones as if they still hurt.

"Mingzhu Road?" Qin Chuchu frowned.

Looking at the father in front of me, why does this name sound familiar?

Just as I was thinking about it, Eunuch Xi Shan in front of me took over the conversation.

"Second Princess, you don't know yet, but the highway from Beihan to the Far North is named after you.

It was built for you, so that you can go home more conveniently after the road is completed."

Eunuch Xishan looked at Qin Chuchu with a flattering expression. This was what the emperor thought when he built this road.

I thought that after the road was repaired, the second princess would be able to visit her parents' home more often.

"Oh," Qin Chuchu nodded.

Just when I was feeling extremely moved, the Beihan Emperor opposite me sighed again.

"Alas, I'm sorry to disappoint you. We don't have enough money at home, so I'm afraid this road can't be repaired for the time being. I'll wait until later..."

Emperor Beihan had a painful look on his face, and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Chuchu.

"Father, it's alright. You should repair the road. I don't want this silver anymore."

As Qin Chuchu spoke, she stuffed the large IOU in her hand into the hand of Emperor Beihan.

Even if you are slow-witted, you can still understand what your father means.

She kept crying poor, which showed that she had no intention of giving her any money at all.

What else do you want? If you are smart, just return the IOU to the owner immediately!

After spending so much time and energy, it would have been over if you had just said it earlier.

“………………”Han Muchen frowned slightly.

This time I finally understood that Emperor Beihan was not here to give money at all.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. No wonder his father said that he didn't do much. He was right.

Even Feng Liu and Feng Qi showed a hint of contempt in their eyes.

“………………”

It took me so long to figure out that they didn't even want to give me any money.

Looking at the IOU that Chuchu pushed over, Emperor Beihan was delighted, but soon frowned again.

"How can this be possible? This is what we promised..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Chuchu interrupted him again.

"Why not? Consider it my contribution to the people of my hometown. Father, please accept it!"

As she spoke, she stuffed the big IOU into her father's hand again.

I have already expressed my grievances. If you still want more, you must have a very big heart.

What's more, I didn't want the money in the first place, but my elder brother forced me to give it to him.

Since my dad is so reluctant to give it to me, I might as well give it up. I don’t need this little money anyway.

Just think of it as supporting the original owner's hometown construction, and being able to make the old man happy is also considered filial piety to the original owner.

Seeing Chuchu so determined to push the IOU back, Emperor Beihan nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, good boy, since you have this intention, then your father will accept it."

After saying that, he quickly stuffed the IOU into his arms, as if afraid that it would be snatched away.

I know it's not right to do this, but I'm short of money.

After building so many greenhouses this year, the treasury is almost empty.

Looking at the current situation, there are still many places where money can be used.

The most important thing is that he found that his daughter was not short of money. It didn’t matter whether she had these or not, but they were useful to them.

These more than one million taels of silver can complete the construction of Mingzhu Road.

"Father, I have this idea in mind, please keep it."

Qin Chuchu nodded repeatedly, her mouth dry after talking for so long.

I was just about to ask April to bring me some cups of tea, but as soon as I raised my hand, my father grabbed it again.

"Zhuzhu! Father has something else he wants to tell you!"

Looking at her father's calculating smile, Qin Chuchu forced a smile.

"Oh, you say!"

Just listening to what he said just now was so miserable, I wonder if he wants to ask me for money?

As I was speculating in my heart, the Northern Cold Emperor smiled kindly.

"Haha, that's the thing. Father saw that your engine and furnace were quite good, and he wanted to get a few to try when he got back."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the base. The greenhouse looked nice.

If I can really grow vegetables successfully, it will definitely be a good business to make money. That's why I thought about talking to my daughter about it.

I'll get a few and try them out. If they're successful, I'll plant them on a large scale. I'll make a lot of money then.

After hearing what her father said, Qin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief and agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, that's no problem. How many do you want?"

As long as it’s not asking for money, it’s fine. I just put the 100 million into the space and it hasn’t warmed up yet, so I don’t want to give it away.

"Father, how about trying to get a hundred of them first?"

As the Northern Cold Emperor spoke, he extended a finger.

After all, you don't know if it will succeed, so it's better to try it on a small amount.

After saying this, fearing that his daughter might object, he immediately gave another explanation.

"Don't worry, all the raw materials will be provided by the emperor, and you won't be shortchanged on the wages."

I have seen it before, and most of those things are made of iron. For a big country that produces iron raw materials, this amount of raw materials is nothing.

Even if he takes advantage, he has a bottom line and cannot keep asking for more, otherwise he will feel guilty.

When Qin Chuchu heard her father say he wanted to pay her wages, she waved her hand.

"You can bring the raw materials over, and I won't charge you for the labor!"

After giving away more than one million silver coins, why would he care about this little bit of wages? As long as they don't borrow money from me, everything is fine.

Seeing his daughter agree so readily, Emperor Beihan nodded in satisfaction.

"Good! Good boy!"
