Chapter 837: Talking about the major ports in Nanyuan
Old Prince Feng's face was gloomy, but he couldn't say a word.
National law is a matter of face, and even he dare not despise it.
Du and his men carried several boxes and walked into the hall.
"Here are the account books of Xianhai Tower's income. You can check them out at will." Ye Qianning asked someone to open the box.
Several large boxes were filled with densely packed account books.
Wang Li was the first to step forward and picked up an account book to look through it. The amount recorded on just one page shocked him. A seafood feast at Xianhailou cost more than six thousand taels?
Is it possible that everything on this table is made of gold?
Li Mu also walked forward to check, and some other merchants also came forward.
Since Xianhailou became popular, there have been so many people coming here to visit that the food is very expensive. Even so, the restaurant is always packed every day.
Almost every day, a whole account book is filled up, and the silver flows like water, which is dazzling.
Old Prince Feng cast a glance and said, "Who knows whether the account book is real or fake?"
"Your Highness, don't think that everyone is like Nan Yuan. We in the Gu family are honest and trustworthy in business and never cook the books." Ye Qianning said with a smile.
"What happened to our Nanyuan?"
"The Nanyuan royal family drafted the contract, but Nanyuan officials and citizens have repeatedly violated it. Qingzhou secretly sold seafood to Beili several years ago. This is a violation of the contract. According to the contract, Nanyuan must compensate my Gu family three times the amount."
Old Prince Feng was taken aback and scolded, "Little girl, you should think carefully before you speak. Don't speak without thinking or you might get hurt."
"Didn't the old prince see the Beili merchant ships docked at the port? Qingzhou Prefect Guan Zhong forged false bills for the Gu family and made a lot of money over the years. Guan Zhong is the brother-in-law of the prince's son-in-law, and every year he sends a large sum of money to the Fengwang Mansion. Could it be that the old prince didn't know about the breach of contract?"
You don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you do. No wonder people in Qingzhou are so unscrupulous, it turns out they have a powerful backer.
"What nonsense!" Old Prince Feng shouted angrily.
"Your Highness, don't be so quick to deny it. I have already sent the evidence to Kyoto. Emperor Hu Yan should personally send someone to verify it." How could Ye Qianning miss the triple compensation!
Upon hearing this, Old Prince Feng was shocked and stared at Ye Qianning with his eyes.
"Don't be angry, old prince. We still have some things to settle." Facing the murderous gaze, Ye Qianning smiled calmly.
Old Prince Feng felt a sinking feeling in his heart, intuitively knowing that something was not going on.
"The price Miss Ye paid to buy Xianhai Tower is too high. I cannot make a decision at the moment. Can you wait for me to send a message back before making a decision?" Wang Li flipped through the basic account book and could not hold back any longer.
There are almost all wealthy cities in Dongwei, and the income is indeed enviable.
Ye Qianning turned his eyes and said, "Okay, but Lord Wang, please be quick."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and pass on the message." Wang Li stood up and saluted towards Prince Feng. "Prince Feng, I can't make the decision regarding the thirty copper coins for Nanyuan Aquatic Products. I also need to report to His Majesty, so I'll go ahead."
Old Prince Feng snorted coldly.
Wang Li left in a hurry.
Li Mu was also very tempted by Xianhai Tower, but he couldn't keep so much money at once. Buying Xianhai Tower would cost Beili almost half of its treasury.
The emperor loves money, and the treasury is already empty. It is not easy for him to take out so much money at once.
"Lord Feng, let's talk about the major ports in Nanyuan." Ye Qianning didn't want to mention it, because the other party was so shameless.
