"What should we deal with? There is nothing to deal with!" Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "President Hu is worrying too much. If you open a restaurant or an embroidery shop, how can it be compared with our large-scale 'Deshan Garden'?"
Yes! That's right!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt relieved and exchanged gratified glances with each other.
Tang Shiyue then continued, "To be honest with you, although I had the intention to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, I was also selfish."
Everyone naturally stopped to listen to her.
She sighed: "We are businessmen, let's be honest, who doesn't know that doing business is difficult? You have to take care of everything, and if you are not careful, it will be troublesome."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt like they had found a friend, and they all agreed. Some even took the opportunity to complain a few words.
Tang Shiyue continued with a serious face, "It is said that it is good to lean against a big tree for shade, but I am a little village girl from outside, and I don't even know which door to worship the Buddha... So I wonder, who in this world can be greater than the emperor?"
"Not to mention that the emperor has repeatedly shown me favors, and I am deeply grateful, but also that the emperor is wise and kind, and loves the people like his own children. I admire the emperor and am happy to offer the silver to the emperor. In this way, my backer is the emperor! I am not afraid of anyone!"
The first thought that came to everyone’s mind was “How reckless…”
...
...
But when I calm down and think about it, I think it makes sense.
The relationships in the capital are complicated and intricate, and there is no way to get in without spending money. For example, if you offer incense to someone and he is transferred, or if you offer sympathy to Zhang San and cause Li Si to offend... Only those who have encountered this will know, and it is so painful.
But what if I just cling to the emperor?
Especially for those who don't have many connections, if they donate 10%, 20%, or 30% of their income to this "virtue fund", they can not only gain fame, gain favor, but also get protection. Isn't it much better than seeking medical help from all sorts of sources?
Because of this "virtue and kindness", others have to think twice before extending their hand.
Not an imperial merchant, but better than an imperial merchant.
Everyone was silent for a while.
Many smart people are thinking... If you want to do it, do it as soon as possible! The sooner the better! Otherwise, when everyone else starts doing it, you won't be able to stand out!
Seeing that the heat was almost right, Tang Shiyue added, "Besides that, there is one more thing. Please don't be offended if I tell you about it."
She smiled sheepishly.
Of course, everyone said they were not surprised.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "I was thinking, there are so many talented people under the emperor, and there are countless talented people, but those who have achieved success and fame are fine, while the younger ones who indulge in sensual pleasures and have bad reputations. But I am a man of virtue, kindness, and garden! If you spend a lot of money elsewhere, that's a waste, but if you spend a lot of money here, that's doing good!"
Everyone: “…”
Very good and powerful.
The magic of brainwashing...
Everyone thought that they alone understood and others did not, but in fact everyone understood.
What is the main source of customers for these places of entertainment? Dandy! Of course, the children of high-ranking officials and wealthy families are indispensable.
If we give them a name, wouldn’t they feel more confident when playing?
“If you spend a lot of money elsewhere, it’s a waste, but if you spend a lot of money with me, it’s a charity!” This sentence is really amazing! !
From this perspective, you must take advantage of the aura of Deshan Jin! Otherwise, everyone else will be "Deshan", and you will be the only profiteer... Then the result will be quite hehe...
No one had any objections to this, and the only thing left was: "Master Tang's words make sense. But I feel a little worried about the Ministry of Revenue sending people to inspect."
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't think of this at first. I didn't even know what the Ministry of Revenue did."
Everyone smiled knowingly, thinking that this person was not pretentious at all and was indeed easy to get along with.
Tang Shiyue continued, "But later, a friend of mine told me that throughout history, money is the most difficult thing to explain. There are countless cases of people falling out over money, so in order to plan ahead, it is better to show that you are calm."
"I thought so too. I was sincere and wanted to donate 30% of the income. Since it is true, why should I be afraid of being investigated? That's why I wrote a petition and asked the Ministry of Revenue to send someone to reconcile the accounts."
Everyone looked at each other.
Tang Shiyue saw it and sighed: "Actually, I regretted it a little later."
Someone asked, “Why?”
"I feel a little scared when there is an official at home. I am afraid of offending him, and I am also afraid that something is wrong at home..."
In fact, everyone was worried about, first, this person was blackmailing and making things difficult, and second, of course, he was trying to deceive his superiors and subordinates, making 5,000 and saying 1,000 or something. Anyway, the purpose was to prevent the Ministry of Revenue from sending people to check, so they all nodded in agreement.
Tang Shiyue said: "Don't worry, I know that everyone wants to do good deeds and wants to give more! We have a clear conscience and don't need the help of the officials in the Ministry of Revenue to check! When I see the Saint again... or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will tell them!"
She felt sympathetic: "Questioning kindness is so hurtful! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely agree! Just wait for my good news!"
So both the host and the guests were delighted.
They also agreed that everyone would submit their bids to Meng Dansui within three days, and that the bidding results would be announced in this restaurant five days later.
Ding Xiaoyan spoke for more than half an hour.
Emperor Ming Yan couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and even gave him a cup of tea, fearing that he would feel thirsty.
Others couldn't hear it, but how could he not hear it? These people were unworthy of being called experienced, they were all led by Tang Shiyue!
Emperor Mingyan smiled and said, "Do you have any other tricks, Yue'er?"
Ding Xiaoyan drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the master said that she has many tricks up her sleeve, but they all require your support."
Emperor Mingyan smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Ding Xiaoyan said: "The master said, first, she bought a mountain and had no money, so she asked the emperor to secretly help her two..."
Emperor Mingyan laughed and said, "Didn't you say your parents have no private wealth? Now you turn around and ask me for money! I told you long ago that you are just a little liar who only knows how to please me! Gu Jiuxing! Give her 500,000 or 600,000!"
Then wouldn’t you like to be coaxed?
It was five or six hundred thousand taels at a time, so generous... Gu Jiuxing agreed and went.
Ding Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Secondly, the master said that she had a response to the Ministry of Revenue's dispatch of personnel, but she did not tell me. She said she would write a secret memorial and send it in tomorrow."
Emperor Mingyan laughed: "Secret memorials? She can write memorials? I praised her calligraphy yesterday, so she is showing off in a new way!"
Ding Xiaoyan smiled and said, "The master also said that she had a good time fooling those people, but if someone uses going to Deshan Garden as an excuse to be late or leave early in the future, it has nothing to do with her. Please don't blame her, Your Majesty."
Emperor Mingyan snorted and scolded with a smile: "Why do you worry about this? No wonder you haven't grown taller!"
He told Gu Jiuxing to give him the banknote, and said with a smile: "Tell your master that I am waiting for her memorial! If she can't write it, I will punish her!"
