The old man was also stunned when he heard this.

He obviously didn't expect Qian Ruoyu to take the initiative to give him the right to choose, and it was precisely because of this that he felt the danger.

Because this was entirely a test from Qian Ruoyu.

If he gave too little, even if Qian Ruoyu agreed, it might not be a good thing for the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the money was always given too little, and Qian Ruoyu would get it back in other ways no matter what.

If they gave more, Qian Ruoyu would indeed agree readily, but it would be a great loss to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

The Beijing Chamber of Commerce never expected that it would fall into the hands of the palace this time.

And they also investigated clearly and found out that the cause of this incident was entirely due to the shop on West Street.

If this matter is not handled properly, the Chamber of Commerce in Beijing will only face continuous pressure from the palace, which will probably make it even more uneasy.

It is precisely because of this that the old man feels anxious.

But what the old man didn't know was that the Chamber of Commerce on West Street only paid a few million taels, but it was able to turn the Beijing Chamber of Commerce into this state.

Finally, he thought about it for a while and then said to Qian Ruoyu.

"Or...or twenty-five million taels!"

He said this through gritted teeth.

Although he felt that 20 million taels of silver was not a bad amount, he was afraid that Qian Ruoyu would go back on her word after agreeing to it. By then, even an additional 10 million taels would not be enough to make up for it.

"Princess, it's not that we don't want to pay this extra money, but it's really a big loss for us... 25 million taels is the last ounce of silver our Beijing Chamber of Commerce has in its warehouse..."

After hearing this number, Qian Ruoyu felt slightly satisfied.

Because Qian Ruoyu was only thinking about the 15 million taels, even if it was cut in half, Qian Ruoyu would be very satisfied. After all, this was 15 million taels picked up for free, plus those in his own warehouse, the total was close to 40 million taels.

But now it turned out to be 25 million taels, which really surprised Qian Ruoyu. In this way, there are only 50 million taels of silver in his warehouse.

A full 50 million taels of silver! Qian Ruoyu couldn’t imagine how huge a sum of money this was!

And the Beijing Chamber of Commerce in front of him just wanted him to lift the restrictions on their Beijing Chamber of Commerce, but it actually cost him 25 million taels, which was really a huge sum of money.

The more this happened, the more ridiculous Qian Ruoyu felt.

It seems that the Capital Chamber of Commerce is still afraid of me, but Qian Ruoyu will not relax his vigilance towards them because these people related to the Capital are like a snake.

This snake will keep circling around them, knowing when they relax and will attack. Therefore, they feel that they must deal with the Beijing Chamber of Commerce more harshly.

After the other party offered this price, Qian Ruoyu still spoke with a very calm look.

"Is this the final price you can offer? I still need to consider the price. You should go back first and wait for three to five days!"

But when he heard these words, the old man's expression suddenly changed and he began to look a little scared and frightened.

He never thought that Qian Ruoyu and the royal palace were not satisfied with the price he offered.

Although this price is not the lowest they can offer, it is at least 25 million taels of silver, which is not a small amount. Isn't the palace satisfied?

Although the person in front of him was Qian Ruoyu, he regarded Qian Ruoyu as the spokesperson of the palace, and he must have known that Prince Chu Mobai was helping her from behind.

That's why he felt that what Qian Ruoyu said completely represented the interests of the palace.

And at this moment, he immediately said.

"This... Your Majesty, this won't do. If we wait another three or five days, our Capital City Chamber of Commerce will be completely out of food..."

"To be honest, there are more than a thousand people in the Capital Chamber of Commerce who are simply incomparable. If they can't eat for three to five days, the people inside will probably starve to death!"

Only then did Qian Ruoyu realize that what they were worried about was that the people from the Capital Chamber of Commerce would have no food to eat. No wonder he looked so anxious at this moment.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu finally said it somewhat embarrassedly.

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll tell you now that we can barely accept the price of 25 million taels of silver!"

"When will the silver be paid in full? When will your Beijing Chamber of Commerce be able to open temporarily? Remember, it is only temporarily!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, the old man instantly felt relieved.

Although he knew that the price Qian Ruoyu mentioned represented the palace, he also knew that the price he offered was not the highest price Qian Ruoyu and the palace wanted, so at this time he could only nod helplessly.

"Okay... As long as we can get our Beijing Chamber of Commerce unsealed, then... everything will be fine!"

But Qian Ruoyu continued to warn.

"Don't forget why your Beijing Chamber of Commerce was blocked this time. If it happens again, you can't blame me. After all, some things are beyond my control!"

What Qian Ruoyu was talking about was naturally about the shops on West Street.

The old man nodded quickly and then left the palace.

Not long after, cartloads of silver were delivered to the side door of the palace. This time, Qian Ruoyu did not transport the silver to his own yard through the side door of the palace. Instead, he collected the silver at the side door of the palace.

After all, there were no outsiders at the side door of the palace at this time, only a few people around him, so Qian Ruoyu asked them to turn around and then accepted it.

A total of 25 million taels of silver were received. Qian Ruoyu now had a total of 50 million taels of silver in his laboratory, which was an extremely large number.

A full 50 million taels of silver. Qian Ruoyu was thinking in his heart that this amount of money might be enough to surpass that of the Ministry of Revenue and the other five ministries.

The thought of such a huge sum of money made Qian Ruoyu feel shocked and excited. This was simply not a fortune that an ordinary person could possess.

But Qian Ruoyu managed to control his emotions a little at this time, and was able to leave the laboratory barely.
