Chapter 371 [The Whereabouts of the Hidden Silver]
After this incident, who would still mention Xue Wei’s title of top scholar?
They are only asking for trouble by slandering Xue Wei, a person praised and admired by the people, behind his back.
Xue Wei has thought it over carefully. His advantage lies in modern knowledge and current thinking, as well as the strong support of Li Li Xiaopang, but not in court scheming. His golden finger is too restrictive to use in the capital.
In the northwest, where the emperor is far away, his golden finger can be fully utilized to lead the people of the northwest out of their suffering and towards a well-off life. Isn't this much more meaningful?
By the way, let's take a look at the movements of the confidants sent by Emperor Qingning to the northwest, so as to leave a backup for Yan Chaoyue.
Not all merchants can eat the piece of meat in the Northwest. It requires a strong escort team, competitive products, and sufficient supply backing... Isn't this clearly written with the name of their class team?
Moreover, the five cities in the northwest were once the territories where Zhao Pinghou and his son were stationed! He could even ask his brother-in-law Xin Che for advice and help him with his homework!
Beautiful! Beautiful!
By then, Dasheng will be their class's territory. Whoever wants this lousy title of former top scholar can have it. What good is it? What's it worth?
@Xue Wei: Brothers and sisters, get ready! I'm going to take you to the Northwest to make a fortune! I want to be a local tycoon in the Northwest! Also, if you have any requests for business-friendly policies, please let me know. I'll fight for your benefits!
Xue Wei showed off the imperial token in the group.
For the next period of time, Emperor Qingning would discuss the policy of supporting merchants in the northwest with his court officials, and Xue Wei was selected by Emperor Qingning to participate as an exception. He would go to the imperial study with Grand Tutor Xue for every discussion.
@He Lin (Big Star): The He family has already established a firm foothold in the capital. This time, I will accompany you to Jingshui County with Guan Yue's escort team!
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): I can't go there myself. Someone has to be in the capital. I'll line up with you, and I'll let my trusted Miao people follow.
Moreover, the 300,000 taels of military pay that was falsely accused of corruption at the Zhaoping Marquisate has finally been uncovered thanks to Sheng Zhixing's off-site assistance!
Jiang Lili was delighted when she heard Hou Xiaoxiao say that there was some progress in the case of embezzlement of military pay.
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): Since this case was originally filed because someone exposed the embezzlement of military pay by the Marquis of Zhaoping and his son, who were stationed in the northern and northwest regions, where was the 300,000 taels of silver most likely "embezzled and divided"?
@Xue Wei: So, after all, isn't it still in the north? If the real culprit hadn't taken this silver, we could unravel it and find it...
Isn't that an extra 300,000 taels of silver in supplies? It's perfect for building up the northwestern border! Anyway, my brother-in-law and his men have been exiled and are now heading to the desert.
Lao Sheng, have you found out where this batch of silver is hidden?
@Sheng Zhixing: Based on the clues provided by the Beijing team's subordinates, I believe this huge amount of silver is hidden in the tomb of the previous emperor.
@Xue Wei: Huh? Hiding in the tomb of the late emperor? Who's so bold!?
@Sheng Zhixing: I've been looking up clues about the people involved in the Beijing case and have discovered they all have one thing in common: they all participated, or indirectly participated, in the construction of the previous emperor's mausoleum.
After listening to what Sheng Zhixing said, Jiang Lili sighed that the place where the silver was hidden was really quite hidden!
Who dares to investigate the tomb of the late emperor?
Moreover, the imperial tombs have complex terrain and are full of traps. One could lose his life here if he is not careful. It would be extremely difficult to investigate privately!
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): The late emperor built his empire from scratch in the northwest during turbulent times. Therefore, he made arrangements before his death, and after his death, his soul will return to the northwest. His mausoleum is located near Feixia Valley in the northwest.
@Xue Wei: Feixia Gorge is located southeast of the Northwest Five Cities, over 200 miles away. Alas, the emperor sent 12 personal guards to accompany me to Jingshui County, both for protection and surveillance.
@Hou Xiaoxiao: Oh? What if I tell you another piece of news? The person in charge of selecting these 12 personal guards was my grandfather, the General of the Cavalry?
Xue Wei sat up in shock when he received the message.
Ever since the emperor's eldest son, Prince An, rebelled, anyone who had saved the emperor became a trusted confidant of Emperor Qingning. Hou Xiaoxiao's grandfather, the General of the Cavalry, was one of them.
@Xue Wei: I'm fine again! Welcome, welcome! (Blowing a kiss)
This is the advantage of piercing the Dasheng Dynasty like a sieve. No matter what happens, it is always related to our own people!
@Xue Wei: However, since it's hidden in the late emperor's tomb, obtaining this silver is incredibly difficult. I'll just keep it as a keepsake!
[@江麗麗: ...Wait, is there anyone in our class majoring in archaeology? ]
Su Rui silently said: [It’s me, the one you forgot about and held hostage in prison!]
@Su Rui: Li Li, I swear, after these two months of turning over a new leaf and severing all ties, my love-crazy mind has been cured. Please let me out! I will never fall into the trap of a scumbag woman again!
Jiang Lili calculated that Su Rui hadn't seen Sanya for two months. [I'll find a time. Right now, we're working on infrastructure in Mi Country, and we really need people.]
@Xue Wei: I'll first settle down in the northwest, then go find out where the 300,000 taels of silver are.
The students discussed the next deployment, and more than a month passed in a flash, and it was early June.
Once the Northwest Merchants Support Policy was promulgated, it caused a sensation throughout Dasheng.
Going to such a remote place in the northwest to open a workshop and do business, although the conditions of tax exemption within 5 years and low land lease are very tempting.
But many merchants still hesitated. After all, it was too risky. Not only were there many dangers, but the cost was also huge. They were not familiar with the northwest and could easily lose their lives and property.
Only the imperial merchants of the level of the He family and the Jinxiao Chamber of Commerce are already taking action in full swing.
However, just when a group of wealthy merchants were helplessly waiting and watching, the He family suddenly issued a notice to merchants all over the world: recruiting franchisees to venture into the northwest together!
The general content of this revelation is that the He family sincerely invites merchants from all over the world to join the He family in exploring the northwest. They only need to pay a silver joining fee, and the He family will help the merchants settle down in the five cities of the northwest.
The specific amount of the franchise fee depends on the size of the workshop and the level of service, ranging from 8,000 taels of silver to 20,000 taels of silver. In addition, there is a cooperation clause that after the franchisee makes a profit, the He family will take a commission from the franchisee's profits every month.
From selecting a location for your workshop, to producing and selling your products, Hejia's one-stop service helps merchants gain a firm foothold in Northwest China! Guaranteed profits!
