Chapter 141 Shameless people are invincible
The eunuch spoke again: "Master Jiang, there are a total of 100 mandarin fish, 50 sea bass and 50 carp in this barrel. Do you want to count them?"
Jiang Huaian immediately waved his hand to Xi.
"Since it is a gift from Your Majesty, I naturally believe it, and there is no need to trouble you to count it.
If you have nothing else to do, then we can go back first?"
But I saw the little palace maid beside me smiling and bowing to a few people.
"My Lord, these fish were fed by His Majesty himself and were infused with dragon energy.
The reward for a mandarin fish is ten taels of silver, a perch is seven taels of silver, and a carp is five taels of silver, a total of one thousand six hundred taels.
May I ask whether you would like to pay by banknote or cash?"
“…”
At one point, almost all officials encountered this problem, and all was silent.
Jiang Youning's eyes widened, his expression greatly shocked.
【Grass???!!!】
[I have always thought that Chu Lange is a person who can make money. It turns out that I was too rude.]
[Ginger is still more experienced with age. Compared with his father, Chu Lange is still a small witch compared to a big witch. ]
[Do you really think I don't know that Chu Lange caught this fish from Shabi Lake and sold it to the imperial palace? Chu Wenzong, you idiot, turned around and sold it to your officials at more than ten times the price? ]
[It's a fish that was given by the Empress. I was fed by the Empress herself several times and became a daughter of the Empress. Can I force myself to sell for tens of millions of taels of gold? ]
Aside.
Jiang Wanrong was also amazed. She listened to her sister's open complaints for a long time without saying anything.
Is it not better for Your Majesty to just confiscate or rob the property if he is short of money? Isn't it even more shameless to do such a thing under the pretext of being righteous?
Finally, Lin Xiangyin stared with her eyes wide open for a long time before asking the personal nanny next to her to take out the banknote.
"Here is a banknote of 1,600 taels. Please keep it."
"Thank you, ma'am. I will return to report now. Have a safe trip, ma'am."
The eunuch carefully looked at the several banknotes and put them away, then left quickly with the palace maid beside him.
The same is apparently true for other companies.
However, Emperor Wenzong of Chu also had some calculations. Officials of different ranks and families had different financial resources, so the quantity and types of fish they sold also varied.
People like the crown prince, marquises, and so on, sell more and at higher prices, while officials with low salaries and little wealth sell less.
Before Shengwu Kelian was stuffed into the carriage, Xie Ciyan took out another five thousand taels of silver.

the other side.
In the side hall.
Jiang He was taken by Fukang to a side hall to drink tea and take a short rest.
Although he didn't understand why His Majesty made such arrangements, Jiang He felt a little relieved.
Your Majesty still treats him the same as before, so the possibility of confiscating his property should be small.
Outside the study.
Jiang Li and Zhao Yi listened to the chirping of cicadas and bathed in the dim moonlight.
Jiang Li was oblivious to all this and was extremely relaxed.
Zhao Yi understood that His Majesty agreed to this for a reason. Looking at his calm and leisurely colleagues beside him, he felt unbalanced for the first time.
God is blind. Why should Jiang Li feel at ease without hearing the voice of that little ancestor? Why should he be left alone to suffer now?
Unfortunately, everyone here is his Majesty's people, and he can't say anything to Jiang Li to reveal the truth and make this guy anxious, which makes him feel even more uncomfortable.
In Yu's study.
Chu Wenzong sat casually on the steps in the hall, with a gleam of light and impatience in his eyes.
"Fukang, have you informed the prince to bring the person here later?"
"Your Majesty, I have already notified you. The Crown Prince will be here later."
Fukang bowed in response.
Seeing His Majesty sitting on the steps with his legs stretched out so 'casually', he lowered his head, not daring to look at him any more.
As for admonishment, I dare not do that even more.
His butt was still hurting from the warning he had just given, and he didn't dare pat the footprints on it.
"How are the arrangements outside the palace going? Why hasn't anyone come yet? They wouldn't go out without money, would they?"
When he said this, there was a hint of anxiety in Chu Wenzong's eyes.
Obviously, this is what he cares about most at the moment.
"Your Majesty, it's not long since the palace banquet ended. I think it will take some time."
"Then I will wait a little longer."
Not long.
A group of palace servants quickly came to the door of Yu's study. The small door of Yu's study was open, and they lowered their heads and quickly filed in.
Fukang started to register with his little notebook.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince pays eight thousand taels."
"Thank you, young Lord, for paying the five thousand taels."
"Marquis Yong'an paid five thousand taels."
…
Every time Fu Kang registered someone, his two adopted sons would help check and count the money. Chu Wenzong would return to the dragon throne and start watching with a burning gaze.
Finally.
Half a minute later.
The money has been counted.
The smile on Chu Wenzong's face was more brilliant than that of a chrysanthemum.
"Everyone, please leave."
"yes!"
All the palace servants left.
The world is quiet.
Chu Wenzong's loud laughter immediately rang out from the hall.
He looked at the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he had earned tonight and was extremely happy.
"Fukang, I have never been so happy in these years. Ge'er is really my lucky star. She gave me the opportunity to make money."
"Princess Yongning has been loved by the emperor since she was a child. She is a blessed person."
Fu Kang smiled calmly on his face, but in his heart he couldn't help but wonder, who was the one who got so angry during lunch and slammed the table and scolded the rebellious girl?
