Chapter 1196 Just Right
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "Madam, do you want to cooperate with him?"
Qiao Xuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled softly, "We need silver! I'm afraid the Crown Prince doesn't have much silver, right? But he may need silver for more places than other princes!"
After all, they were in the same boat, so Qiao Xuan had nothing to worry about.
Shao Yunduan smiled and sighed: "That's right."
Countless eyes are staring at the prince, where can he get the money?
If you do that, you're competing with the people for profit.
Will be impeached.
To put it more seriously, what is the intention?
As a crown prince, what do you need so much money for? To win people's hearts? What do you want to do by winning people's hearts?
There's no way to explain this.
Even if it is explained clearly, it will inevitably be a thorn in the emperor's heart and will make him feel uncomfortable.
If this kind of thing happens more often, it is hard to guarantee that the quantitative change will not turn into qualitative change.
You can't touch these at all.
Unfortunately, most of the ministers around the prince were Confucian officials, and due to their status, they were not suitable for doing business. Others who were suitable were not good at it.
Shao Yunduan is different. Although he is also a Confucian official, he is still young and outsiders have not formed a fixed impression of him. Without a fixed impression, it is not easy to be disappointed.
If other older Confucian officials suddenly developed a "smell of money", the common people and a large group of middle and lower-level bureaucrats would be disappointed, but this would not happen if Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan's wife, got involved.
But Shao Yunduan had never originally intended to be a pure Confucian official.
Since his wife has this intention, that's great.
"It is not convenient for the prince to get involved in these matters, but if we do, he will definitely protect us. It's just that my lady is a little wronged."
Qiao Xuan smiled: "When one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer. My Lord, just remember this contribution. If he can have such a day in the future, I would like to experience how glorious it is to be a first-rank imperial lady!"
Shao Yunduan felt relieved and said with a smile, "If he really spent our money, this imperial decree must be given to my wife no matter what!"
"That's all right!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The first-rank imperial edict was not easy to obtain, it was the highest honor a minister could obtain. If she could obtain it, Qiao Xuan felt that it would be worthwhile to spend a little more money.
Such glory cannot be bought with money!
Anyway, she didn't lose anything.
She provides ideas and craftsmanship, while her partners take care of other matters.
Oh, I can’t say he’s a collaborator now, but we can always find such a person, right?
The two were discussing the investigation of Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu was so excited that he returned to the purchased house and excitedly ordered his trusted steward Uncle Qing to prepare a generous New Year gift.
I didn't dare to give it to him before, after all, I had no reason to do so, but it's different now. After all, we are friends, right? Even if the cooperation fails, it's still a friendship, so it's only natural for him to give me a New Year gift.
"It's best to prepare it in the next two days and send it to Lord Shao's residence! Prepare it as expensively as possible, as much as possible, because the last thing I lack is money!"
When Uncle Qing heard that he had hooked up with Mr. Shao, he was happy for him and nodded with a smile and agreed.
He did not dare to neglect this matter and went to prepare it personally.
However, he still reminded: "Sir, Master Shao and Madam Shao haven't agreed to anything yet. If you send them a gift that is too expensive, I'm afraid they may not accept it. It's better to send them an ordinary gift first to show your appreciation. If it really works out, it won't be too late to give them another one later."
