Chapter 444 I also want to give money?
Emperor Kangxi: “…”
He dreamed of the brothers helping each other, but he never imagined that one day they would become one and fight against him. Emperor Kangxi felt complicated for a while.
"Have I spoken to you? Go aside, Wen girl, and speak."
Emperor Kangxi felt upset when he saw his sons, so he simply looked at Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I didn't expect you to know so quickly. I will tell you the truth. It is indeed as you said. I accepted the money."
"You are a real man." After hearing Wenjiu's words, Emperor Kangxi's expression improved a little. He was indeed a man who would not fool him.
Then he asked, "Do you think your meal is worth so much money?"
Wen Jiu replied with a smile, "These are Zuixianlou's signature dishes, so I only charged 20% of the price. While we shouldn't break the rules in business, we're all family, so we're just having fun and charging less. Jiuer can also do the math and estimate the profits."
Since you are here, Your Majesty, why don't you feel the atmosphere here?"
Emperor Kangxi listened and felt something was wrong: "You mean...I have to pay the money too?"
Looking at Emperor Kangxi's face, Wen Jiu was actually a little nervous. If it weren't for the fact that the heart on the emperor's head had become a little darker, she would never have dared to act presumptuously. Now, she could only smile and say, "Your Majesty, I'll give you whatever you want. Silver would be even better."
As he spoke, Wenjiu suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't have any silver, I will fill it up for you. I just want to take advantage of your good fortune. The wine business will surely prosper in the future."
Wenjiu spoke in a low voice, so only people nearby could hear it. However, the fact that she had asked for money earlier was enough to surprise everyone.
How dare you ask the emperor for money? Are you really crazy about money?
Emperor Kangxi was surprised. Wenjiu was really brave. If she was more mercenary, she would be considered cunning.
If it is more playful, it will inevitably be a bit pretentious.
Unfortunately, she asked for the money in an open and aboveboard manner, so Emperor Kangxi couldn't dislike her.
Wen Jiu hadn't actually intended to take any money at first, but when he saw the heart shape on Emperor Kangxi's head darken a little, he suddenly realized and said, "Your Majesty, actually, I'm taking money to prepare for my next store. Once I raise enough money with you, I'll open this store, and you'll all be shareholders."
"Shareholders? What does that mean?" asked the third master curiously.
"You are all the bosses. The one who gets the most money is the big boss, and the one who gets the least is the small boss. I have recorded every penny you take."
As he spoke, he took out a small booklet from his sleeve and handed it to the emperor.
"Hey, this is new. Wenjiu, do you mean that we can make money in the future while eating?" Fourteen said.
Wen Jiu: "Of course, once we have enough money, we will open the restaurant. The future profits will be divided among everyone according to how much money you give. It's just that we agree in advance that the profits will be shared by everyone, but the management of the restaurant will still be in my hands."
"That's great. You don't care about anything else and just take the silver. That's perfect. Warm the wine. I'll give you all my private silver. What do you think?"
Wen Jiu smiled and nodded: "Since Master Fourteen is trustworthy, it will naturally be accomplished."
Then, he turned his attention to Emperor Kangxi: "Your Majesty, do you think it's feasible? Let's open a barbecue restaurant."
Emperor Kangxi flipped through a few pages of Wen Jiu's small account book, feeling a little amused. This Wen girl was quite impressive. She had calculated everything clearly. It was the clearest account book I'd ever seen.
At a glance, it was all recorded on it, including the date and month of how much silver Xiao Shisi and the others had given.
There was even an account of the third brother breaking a bowl and having to pay for it.
After Emperor Kangxi finished reading the account book, he turned around and asked Liang Jiugong for his hand.
Liang Jiugong was almost dumbfounded. Today was really an eye-opener. There was such a way to raise money?
If others don't have money, who would think of opening a shop? After getting so many owners, Liang Jiugong always felt that this matter was a little unreliable.
I thought the emperor would find it absurd, but who would have thought that he would actually join in the fun. He swallowed his saliva and immediately presented the deposit ingot with a smile.
Emperor Kangxi weighed it with his hand and then reached out to Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong was shocked and tremblingly handed over the silver bag that the emperor used daily.
Emperor Kangxi didn't even glance at it, and directly threw the bag to Wenjiu: "Here, count me in."
Emperor Kangxi found this matter novel, but after looking at Wenjiu's small account book, he inexplicably gained more confidence in her.
Emperor Kangxi thought he had some unique insights in identifying and employing people, just like the current Director of the Imperial Observatory, wasn't he the quack doctor he saw among the people when he was in disguise?
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this. This girl was just joking. You cannot accept money from her." The Fourth Master frowned.
Wenjiu was also a little confused at this moment, and looked at Emperor Kangxi's head again. The color of the heart was actually a little redder.
For a moment, I was not sure what was going on in the old man's mind, but I didn't act rashly.
Emperor Kangxi glanced back and forth between the Fourth Master and Wen Jiu, then suddenly smiled and said, "Girl Wen, keep it. It doesn't matter if you lose money. Just think of it as a reward from me for fun."
"That's right. It doesn't matter if we lose money. The money was going to be spent anyway." The Fourteenth Master said indifferently.
The other princes did not care about the small amount of money and all nodded in agreement.
The Fourth Master finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the Emperor's words, it was okay for Jiu'er to do whatever he wanted.
Emperor Kangxi ignored them and picked out some of his favorite foods and sat there to roast them.
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up the silver bag and said with a smile: "Now Jiu Er has made a fortune. The emperor has given him silver."
Emperor Kangxi glanced at her and said, "Why are you holding me so tightly? Do you think I can take you back? Sit down quickly."
Since she was pregnant with his royal heir, Emperor Kangxi felt that it would be inappropriate to make things difficult for her even for the sake of his grandson.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wenjiu responded.
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand indifferently.
Wen Jiu, however, solemnly counted Emperor Kangxi's silver in front of him, and then took a pen to mark the account on the booklet.
"Okay, don't bother with your little bit of silver anymore. Don't let it get you in trouble later and come crying to the Emperor."
Wen Jiu laughed when he heard what the Fourth Master said: "Your Majesty is right. If I really suffer a loss, I will not only cry in front of the Emperor, but also in front of you. I hope that Your Majesty will not despise me, but also reward me with some silver so that I can make a comeback."
