Chapter 262 Su Qian, You Hurt Me
Think about it, according to this list, it is not too much. One hundred thousand taels is not a big sum for him. But from now on, Qi Mincheng will hold him in his hand, and he can neither kill him nor let him go.
Lu Jing decided to calm Qi Mincheng down first and find a way to find the remaining half of the list so that he would regret it later.
With his signature smile on his face, he said, "Okay, okay. I understand." Lu Jing knocked on the handrail, and someone immediately replied from outside the door, "Second Master."
"Bring the banknotes," Lu Jing ordered in a gentle voice.
Qi Mincheng standing by barely suppressed his pounding heart, this was the first business he made with his own ability, and with his monthly salary of only 20 taels of silver, he didn't know how many years it would take for him to earn so much, 10,000 taels of silver!
The Mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery is now just an empty shell. The income from the farm and shop is needed to support the expenses of the entire family. In addition, they are used to a luxurious life, so they are now living in a very tight financial situation.
In the past, ten thousand taels were enough for him to listen to Yan Liu playing the piano twice, but now he can be secretly surprised for most of the day. The most important thing is that he earned it with his own ability.
Soon a nanmu box was brought in. Lu Jing opened it, picked up two bills and handed them to Qi Mincheng. Qi Mincheng quickly reached out to take them, and almost stuck out his tongue when he saw the numbers.
One hundred thousand taels, a full one hundred thousand taels of silver!
Qi Mincheng thought Lu Jing had taken the wrong thing, but was reluctant to expose him, so he looked up at Lu Jing.
"As for the remaining half, I'll give it to Master Qi when the rest arrives. No rush, right?" Lu Jing thought that Qi Mincheng just wanted all the silver, and this half was 100,000 taels. He secretly cursed him for being so heartless, but kept a smile on his face.
"No hurry, no hurry. I will take my leave now. I will wait for the fish riders. I will wait for the fish riders...Also, I am the only one who knows about this matter. Doctor Lu knows it."
Qi Mincheng was afraid that Lu Jing would come to his senses, so he quickly put away the banknotes and said goodbye, reminding him that this was his own achievement. He stood up and walked out, his legs feeling a little unsteady as he walked.
"I won't see you off. I'm not well yet." After hearing the last sentence, Lu Jing's eyes turned cold again, but he stood up elegantly with a smile and asked his attendants to see Qi Mincheng off.
Until he walked out of the Princess's Mansion and got on the carriage, Su Mincheng still felt like he was in a dream.
"Mr. Su is the God of Wealth. I didn't expect Doctor Lu to express his gratitude so generously. And I don't know when the one riding a fish will arrive. By then, he will give me another 100,000 taels. My good days are coming again..."
Qi Mincheng took out the two silver bills, looked at them over and over again, and pinched his thigh, worried that he was dreaming. He grimaced in pain.
At this time, Su Qianqian, who was regarded as the God of Wealth, was planning with Xie Fangyuan and Xue Ke, from the library for reading to the piano room, from the embroidery workshop to the kitchen, and there were also people learning medicine in the Xinglin Hall, geomancy in the geomancy hall, martial arts in the martial arts hall, and various wood and iron making in the craftsman hall...
Xue Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this. The group of children who followed him were all thinking about what they would like to learn. They were as excited as a group of puppies having fun, and it was a rare occasion that they looked like children.
After coming out of Xie Fangyuan, Xue Ke carefully held the sketch in his arms, and there was more respect and admiration in his eyes when he looked at Su Qianqian.
"It's getting late today. Tomorrow I'll have someone write a notice to start recruiting teachers from all over Xijing. The tuition is generous. The academy only teaches children of civilians, with priority given to the families of soldiers. Those who have completed their studies only need to teach in Xie Fangyuan's academy for one year to offset the tuition."
Su Qianqian sat in the carriage and gave instructions to Xue Ke.
"Yes, sir." Xue Ke no longer questioned.
When they returned to the alley entrance of Wuning Marquis Mansion, Qi Mincheng's carriage was waiting there. When he saw Su Qianqian's carriage, he hurriedly stopped it.
"Mr. Su, it is just as you said. Doctor Lu expressed his gratitude. Here is one thousand taels. He promised to give you one tenth. For the other one thousand taels, just return the jade pendant to me."
Qi Mincheng sat in Su Qianqian's car and took out two thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian looked at Qi Mincheng and couldn't help but smile: "Master Qi, so it's done?"
"Done! I would also like to thank Mr. Su for his help!" Qi Mincheng bowed to express his gratitude.
"Since it's done, Master Qi, why don't you take out the 100,000 taels to save your life? Do you have to wait until the knife falls on your neck before you feel afraid?"
Su Qianqian still had a smile on her face and spoke coldly.
"How do you know it's one hundred thousand taels?" Qi Mincheng blurted out first, and then remembered the main question, "Su... What does Mr. Su mean?" Qi Mincheng stared blankly at Su Qianqian whose face changed.
"What do you mean? The official who can accomplish this must be of a high rank in the Ministry of Personnel. Even the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel has to pay money to do this. Who do you think this person with such great connections is?"
Su Qianqian smiled and said, the dim light in the car cast a shadow on her face, like a killer.
"Minister of Personnel? No, could it be, could it be..."
Seeing the weather at the end of October, Qi Mincheng's forehead was actually covered with sweat.
"Master Qi, have you guessed it just now? I admire your courage to be able to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!" Su Qianqian bowed.
"Su Qian, you harmed me. How could Lu Jing let me go and let the House of the Loyal and Brave Marquis go if he knew that I was the one threatening him?" Qi Mincheng finally came to his senses and pointed at Su Qianqian with a trembling voice.
"Master Qi, be careful with your words. I told you that wealth and honor come from risk. You did get the silver, one hundred thousand taels! But this silver is really hot. If I leave it in your hands, I'm afraid it will become a death warrant, unless..."
"Unless what?" Qi Mincheng's dream turned into a nightmare, and he was completely led by Su Qianqian.
“Unless you take out this silver and do charity in the name of His Majesty, build a charity hall to take in refugees, repair houses for the poor families of martyrs and common people, and provide charcoal and firewood, and distribute porridge and rice when it’s cold, the people will be grateful for the emperor’s grace, and there’s no way that this matter won’t reach His Majesty’s ears?
With His Majesty protecting you, how dare Lu Jing touch you easily? As long as you don't tell anyone about this, the money has been spent and it will be useless for Lu Jing to find you, so he will naturally let you go. ”
Su Qianqian had already thought of a plan for Qi Mincheng. Snow disasters in late winter need to be prevented in advance, and this money will be of great use.
"Building charity halls, repairing houses, setting up soup kitchens... I used to be a passing god of wealth. I had money but couldn't spend it, and I had to guard it for others with trepidation..." Qi Mincheng muttered to himself, his eyes dull.
"Master Qi, if you do this well, your future will be bright. His Majesty will certainly use you in a high position. Perhaps you can inherit the title and become the son of the Loyal and Brave Earl."
Su Qianqian painted another big picture for Qi Mincheng.
"Inherit the title?" Hope appeared in Qi Mincheng's eyes again.
"That's right. As long as His Majesty values it, inheriting the title is no big deal. Wealth, honor, fame, and fortune will all be delivered to you!" Su Qianqian added more glory to Dabing.
"Okay, let's build a charity hall, repair houses, and set up a porridge stall!" Qi Mincheng made up his mind.
"Master Qi, please remember this. You must keep a clear account of every penny of this money and cannot use it for other purposes. Just think of it as belonging to the emperor. Otherwise, if you are investigated in the future, you will be an accomplice."
Su Qianqian reminded with a smile.
