"Old Sun, it's not appropriate for me to accept this money like this, isn't it?"
The smile on Zhu Gaoxu's face did not diminish. After taking a sip of tea, he spoke in a deep voice.
Sun Yu was stunned when he heard this and fell into deep thought.
What do you mean?
Did the King of Han feel that the money was too little?
It shouldn’t be, this is five hundred thousand taels of silver!
Because of the normal operation of the Ming Dynasty Bank, the Ming Dynasty banknotes no longer depreciate in value and have been recognized by people all over the world.
Of course, people are more willing to accept banknotes issued by banks than Ming Dynasty banknotes.
After all, the reputation of Daming Bank is much better than that of the imperial court.
This resulted in the bank notes of the Ming Dynasty becoming the mainstream currency for dignitaries and wealthy businessmen.
They prefer to use this easy-to-carry banknote compared to the heavy silver.
But now, His Highness the King of Han seems to be dissatisfied with this flimsy silver note.
But this is five hundred thousand taels of silver, which can be exchanged at any time at the bank!
According to today's market price, one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice!
Even if you go to the best restaurant in Peiping, you can still enjoy a luxurious meal of "30 pounds of beef, two chickens, two barrels of wine, and four plates of vegetables"!
Of course, Sun Yu didn't get this money alone, and he couldn't afford so much cash.
This is a huge sum of money raised by a group of Peiping officials, which is equivalent to their gray income for a year.
His Highness the King of Han’s appetite is a bit too big, right?
"Ahem, what the prince means is...this is just the initial income. The prince can rest assured that there will definitely be no less of the prince's share in the future."
"Well..." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, "You are serious."
"I haven't done anything, so I just accepted the money. It doesn't seem good."
"Let's do this. I will host a banquet tonight and invite these colleagues to entertain them. From now on, everyone will be our own people, and we will have to rely on you to build the new capital."
Hearing this, Sun Yu was immediately ecstatic, and his heart finally returned to his stomach.
Isn't it just for the promise made by His Highness the King of Han that he walked today?
From now on, everyone will be their own people!
"My lord, those city foxes and community rats..."
"Don't worry, let them go tomorrow, so as not to alert the enemy!"
"That's very true, Your Majesty is wise!"
Sun Yu unabashedly flattered him, which made Zhu Gaoxu burst out laughing.
After the two continued to chat for a few words, Sun Yu wisely stood up and left.
As soon as he walked out of Prince Han's Mansion, Sun Yu couldn't help but spit on the ground.
Bah, what a noble man Tianhuang, what prince of Ming Dynasty, are not such greedy things!
In order to make money, he deliberately beats himself and others. On the surface, he acts impartially, but secretly he behaves like this. It is really disgusting!
Sun Yu completely forgot that he was an official of the imperial court, and he was doing exactly the same thing as the Prince of Han in his impression.
Half an hour later, Nie Xing walked in with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Sun Yu has gone to inform the corrupt officials. Do you want to..."
"No, the banquet will go on as usual. They have to deliver it themselves anyway, so why bother with all the complications?"
Zhu Gaoxu showed a kind smile and said, "Go and notify Guo Zi and let him attend the banquet tonight!"
"It seems that Old Man Guo, a giant in Peking, is not good enough. He can't even control the people under his command, so I need to educate him!"
Nie Xing smiled helplessly when he heard this, but his next words made Prince Han furious.
"On the other hand, after Sun Yu walked out of Prince Han's palace, he spat on the ground..."
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
Um?
What do you mean?
Are you looking down on me?
Damn moth, I'm not going to skin you tonight!
West of Beiping City.
It's still that hidden courtyard.
Sun Yu walked in with a smile.
Everyone looked at him eagerly, with hope on their faces.
"Everyone, fortunately, the matter has been resolved."
"Then the King of Han really did it just to make money, as I guessed."
"He has already accepted the five hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and is hosting a banquet at Prince Han's Mansion tonight. He has invited me to the banquet. From now on, everyone will be his own!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed.
The King of Han accepted the banknote, which meant that their financial resources could be restored.
Although this five hundred thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money, which makes people feel distressed, but compared with the fine clothes and food that they will get in the future, everyone can still carry it clearly.
However, despite being happy, some people also expressed different opinions.
"Mr. Sun, if I go to the banquet with such great fanfare, if Guo Zi finds out, will he..."
"Hey, what are you afraid of?" Sun Yu just snorted when he heard this, not taking Guo Zi seriously at all.
I remember that when Sun Yu, Guo Zi, and Lu Zhen were all officials of the Chief Secretary of Peking, the three of them surrendered to the King of Yan at the same time when the King of Yan launched an army to quell the troubles, and then assisted the Crown Prince of Yan, now the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, to garrison in Peiping, and became From the minister of the dragon.
As a result, Lu Zhengui became the Minister of Rites in the capital, Guo Zi became a giant in Peiping, and Sun Yu only had the false title of Minister of the Ministry of Works, and was still the chief secretary who participated in politics. After so many years, he was still suppressed by Guo Zi, and he will never The day of success!
It’s difficult to make further progress in my official career, so you have to make my life easier, right?
So Sun Yu started on the road of corruption and became the leader of corrupt officials in Peiping.
"Guo Zi himself is honest and honest, and he pretends to be honest, but he can't cut off everyone's financial path, right?"
"What's more, we are now the confidants of His Highness the King of Han. UU Reading www.uukanshu.netｔ Are we still afraid of Guo Zi?"
"The future structure of Peiping will be dominated by the King of Han. What does Guo Zi, an old man, count for?"
Everyone nodded after hearing this, feeling confident in their hearts.
Because of Guo Zi's suppression, they used to be very scrupulous about doing things, and even corruption was done secretly.
But things are different now. The Peking tycoon Guo Zi has become a thing of the past. Now the speaker in Peiping is the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu!
With the support of His Highness the King of Han, what are they afraid of Guo Zi?
Even things that I didn’t dare to do before can be done in the future!
Corruption by relying on those green-skinned gangsters is just a trail.
It's such a big project to build an imperial capital. If you want to take advantage of it, isn't it simple?
This huge sum of five hundred thousand taels was well spent!
For a moment, everyone was overjoyed and immediately went back to their homes to prepare for the banquet.
Poor Mr. Guo had no idea about this matter.
When he received the invitation from Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, he was calculating the money and food expenses in the check-in room.
The reason why Guo Zi was valued by Emperor Yongle was because he was good at managing money and food, so he was able to beat Sun Yu.
Looking at the invitation in front of him, Guo Zi was puzzled.
What does Prince Han want to do?
Why hold a sudden banquet?
Why did you get sick again?
Will you die if you don't do it?
Guo Capital wanted to refuse, but then he thought of His Majesty the Emperor's oral instructions, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Cooperate fully with the King of Han, and do not refuse perfunctorily."
With His Majesty the Emperor's oral instructions, Guo Zi had no reason to refuse.
He just didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy.
"Prince Han, please use your magical powers and stop torturing me!"
