Last year, the tax revenue of the entire Daqi Dynasty was only three million taels of silver.
Or it is the tax paid by more than 100 million people in the entire Daqi Dynasty.
Zhao Lin received 10,000 taels just for writing a poem.
This is faster than robbery.
Robbery requires prior scouting, gathering helpers, etc., which cannot be done without one or two months or even longer.
And Zhao Lin only needs a cup of tea.
Putting aside other things, when it comes to making money alone, Zhao Lin is better than everyone Bai Shicheng knows.
Of course Bai Shicheng's face looked unhappy.
Fu Liqing said happily, "This sum of money is enough for Mr. Zhao to use for a long time. He doesn't have to worry about money anymore and can concentrate on his studies."
Sudi added, "Besides Miss Zhu, there are other courtesans who want to buy poems from Brother Zhao."
Bai Shicheng's face turned even darker.
As long as the news of Zhu Wanting buying poems spread, those competitors who wanted to surpass Zhu Wanting would have to come to buy poems, otherwise they would be suppressed by Zhu Wanting.
Fu Liqing was happy for Zhao Lin: "Do you want me to help you exchange the banknotes for silver?"
There is a handling fee for exchanging silver notes for silver, but who would dare to charge Fu Liqing money?
Zhao Lin casually handed the banknote to Fu Liqing: "Then please help me exchange it for 1,000 taels of silver, and the rest for 100 taels of silver notes."
"good!"
Seeing that Zhao Lin actually trusted him so much, Fu Liqing happily took the banknote and put it away.
Bai Shicheng's face was so dark that it looked like water was about to drip out of it.
Bai Shicheng stood up and said, "It's getting late. Let's go and don't disturb Brother Zhao from studying."
Fu Liqing said, "Okay."
The two men stood up and left, each getting on a carriage. Fu Liqing's carriage curtain suddenly opened, and Fu Liqing stuck his head out and said to Zhao Lin, "Have Lan'er deliver the silver and banknotes tomorrow."
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Okay."
After the carriage drove away, Su Di smiled softly to Zhao Lin and said, "Miss Fu really cares about Brother Zhao."
Zhao Lin smiled slightly: "He's handsome, there's nothing I can do about it."
Sudi rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go practice. I don't believe I can't break your Bajiquan."
The two fought in the martial arts training ground for half an hour, both sweating profusely. Zhao Lin said, "Come on, let's take a shower together. I'll show you my back-scrubbing skills."
Sudi immediately jumped aside like a frightened rabbit, waving his hands and saying, "I have something else to do, you wash first."
After saying that, he ran away.
Zhao Lin shook his head: "We are all men, what are we afraid of? Well, I can only let the maid help me rub it."
Zhao Lin sighed and sat in the bathtub that had been prepared long ago. The maid next to him came over and gently rubbed his body. It was so comfortable that he thought he was still in his previous life.
…
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
The second daughter Zhao Mingyue and the third daughter Zhao Mingxiao have both returned, and together with the fourth daughter Zhao Mingyu, the three daughters are by their side, and they are all very happy.
"Why hasn't Han'er come back yet?"
Han Yuehua hadn't seen her older son for several days and was having trouble eating, so she asked.
Zhao Mingyu smiled and said, "He's only been gone for a few days. He can't come back together until his brother-in-law has investigated everything. Otherwise, won't his contribution be wasted?"
"Yes." Han Yuehua nodded and said, "This is the first time he has been away from home for such a long time, and he has been away so far. I am really worried about him."
Zhao Mingyu comforted him, "Don't worry, Mingya is here with us, and we also have my elder sister and brother-in-law. They will definitely take good care of him."
Han Yuehua shook her head and said, "This matter involves the Crown Prince. Once the matter is thoroughly investigated, it will pose a great threat to the Crown Prince's succession to the throne. The Crown Prince will absolutely not allow it to be exposed. He will definitely hinder Prince Yu's investigation and may even take action. Alas, why did I only think about letting Han'er make meritorious deeds and forget about these dangers? I shouldn't have let him go."
Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao looked at each other, both puzzled.
The adopted son Zhao Chenhan was just out on business, and he was accompanied by Zhao Mingya. Zhao Mingzhu and Prince Yu were also there, so nothing would happen to Zhao Chenhan.
Han Yuehua has never been so worried about her biological son, Zhao Lin, since he severed ties with the Zhenbei Marquisate and left the Marquisate. She occasionally asked about Zhao Lin's situation because she was worried that he would cause trouble for the Zhenbei Marquisate.
Is Zhao Lin really his biological son? Could it be that Zhao Chenhan is actually his biological son, and Zhao Lin is his adopted son?
Zhao Mingxiao couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do you know how Zhao Lin is doing now?"
Han Yuehua's face immediately darkened: "Why bring up this loser? What good can he do?"
Zhao Mingxiao sighed and said, "Didn't Miss Fu give him the house that Mingya lost to her? My people have observed that in just half a month, Miss Fu has been there three times, and Miss Fu's maid Lan'er has been there twice."
Han Yuehua immediately flew into a rage: "This rebellious son, he has to go against us, right? Miss Fu belongs to Han'er, no one can take her away from her."
Zhao Mingxiao remained unmoved and said, "The second young master of the Bai family is also interested in Miss Fu."
"That loser Bai Shicheng?" Han Yuehua said disdainfully, "If Bai Shiyuan could still pose a threat to Han'er, then Bai Shicheng? Humph, he's not even as good as that rebellious son. How dare he compete with Han'er?"
"But I heard that the Fu and Bai families are in talks, and Minister Fu has already agreed, and all that's left is the engagement." Zhao Mingyue said.
"Fu Chengwang is such a short-sighted old man." Han Yuehua said angrily, "How is our Zhenbei Marquisate inferior to the Bai family? How could they marry their daughter to a loser like Bai Shicheng instead of Han'er?"
Zhao Mingyue pondered and said, "Maybe it's because of the issue of establishing a crown prince."
The Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion is on the side of Prince Yu. Unless Zhao Mingzhu and Prince Yu divorce, even if Zhao Jingzhou joins another family, he will be considered an undercover agent and will never be trusted.
But the Bai family, like the Fu family, did not have a close relationship with any prince, so the marriage between the two families did not affect Fu Chengwang's position, but instead helped it.
This is the pros and cons of marriage.
Han Yuehua became angrier the more she thought about it: "It's all because of that rebellious son! If he hadn't ruined Han'er's plan to become a disciple, Han'er and Miss Fu would have gotten married long ago."
The three sisters of the Zhao family were helpless. How could this matter be blamed on Zhao Lin?
If it weren’t for Zhao Lin, there wouldn’t be this opportunity, right?
But there's no way to reason with an angry woman.
Zhao Mingyu recalled the news and said, "I heard that Zhao Lin sold a poem for ten thousand taels of silver."
"How many?"
Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyue were both stunned.
The two of them didn't pay much attention to it. Only Zhao Mingyu, who was now assisting Han Yuehua in managing the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and had specially assigned people to keep an eye on Zhao Lin's every move, knew about this matter.
Zhao Mingyu said, "Not only that, he can probably sell a few more poems, and earn another thirty to fifty thousand taels."
hiss……
Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao gasped as they passed by.
Their husbands' families were one a marquis's and the other a general's. Both were quite wealthy, but their annual income was only a few thousand taels. They could only earn over ten thousand taels if they did big businesses that were easily targeted.
And Zhao Lin can earn tens of thousands of taels just by writing poems?
Then why do we all stop doing business? We might as well just write poetry.
What Zhao Mingxiao paid more attention to was Han Yuehua's reaction. She looked over secretly and saw that Han Yuehua was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her expression became fierce.
"Does that rebellious son really make money this way?"
