Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Li Yi came back to reply to several people. Only then did Wen Yao know that the emperor had secretly invested money in maritime trade, and based on the concept of not putting eggs in one basket, he divided the money into two parts, and one part was taken to the imperial merchant ship. One share was secretly given to the Qiu family and his son.

No wonder she said why Uncle Qiu had to go out to sea on his own. In the final analysis, this was the reason.

If Uncle Qiu returns successfully from overseas, not only will the money they invest be doubled, but the name of the Qiu family will also be recorded in His Majesty's place.

From now on, the Qiu family will no longer be a little-known small merchant.

Wen Yao did not hide it from Qiu Rongrong and told her the matter.

Qiu Rongrong was surprised at first, and then moved. Her father was working for her and the Qiu family's future.

"Yao Yao, I have decided that I will work harder to expand my business in the future. I cannot let my father work hard alone."

Wen Yao almost fell off the stool: "Sister, how do you still work hard? You almost have an abacus on your body, why do you still work hard? You can't make enough money..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Qiu Rongrong picking up a jade pendant from her waist. The corner of Wen Yao's mouth twitched. It turned out to be a golden abacus.

"How about it? I just asked someone to beat it. It is made of pure gold. It is hung on the waist as a decoration on weekdays. It can be picked up and used at any time when needed." Qiu Rongrong was very satisfied with her golden abacus.

Wen Yao took it over and fiddled with it. It was no different from the real abacus, except that it was smaller in size.

Wen Yao imitated the literati's clasped fists and bowed: "I admire you."

Qiu Rongrong patted her golden abacus and smiled happily: "That's right, I have finally understood that nothing is as important as making money. This feeling of having money and destiny in your own hands, Very good."

Wen Yao does not deny this.

They came to County Magistrate Chen and told the emperor's plan. He didn't have much cash on hand now, so he could only invest one hundred thousand taels of silver. In addition, Qiu Rongrong contributed one hundred thousand taels, Wen Yao contributed one hundred thousand taels, and Prince Fu and Princess Fu came from Li Yi found out the news, and Princess Fu also directly invested one hundred thousand taels.

Originally, Princess Fu and Qiu Rongrong wanted to invest more, but they could not go beyond the emperor. They were both the same as the emperor, one hundred thousand taels each.

Several young men also heard about this and scraped together 30,000 taels of silver. Among them, the seventh prince took the lion's share, giving out 12,000 taels, while the others scraped together a few thousand taels each. integer.

Xie Anyi saved it all by himself, and Wen Yao gave him most of it. Jin Xiuyi ran home and robbed his father, and Guan Shengrui and his brothers paid for it all with their own private money.

The seventh prince originally had no money. He was used to seeing ordinary parents and children get along with each other in the Wen family. Although he and the queen were not biological mother and son, he also wanted to try the ordinary mother-child relationship, so he took the courage to do so. Go to the queen and ask for money.

The queen thought that he just had no pocket money, so she gave him a few hundred taels. However, the seventh prince said it was not enough, and the queen knew that Wen Yao and the others were going to do something big again.

It can be seen that the seventh prince looked at her expectantly, acting coquettishly towards his mother like an ordinary child, and was as stubborn as when he just wanted money for investment, but the queen somehow softened her heart.

All the money she earned from the down jacket factory was used by the emperor to invest in sea trade, and what was left was tens of thousands of taels that were used for emergencies on weekdays. She asked Rong Xin to get 10,000 taels for the seventh prince, which was no longer a small sum. .

The seventh prince took the money and asked her again. When he returned to the capital, the queen held a banquet when she recognized him as her legitimate son. The officials in the court gave him many things. Could he sell them for money?

The Queen looked at the Seventh Prince and suddenly felt that he and the Emperor were indeed father and son. There were some similarities, so she asked him to pick out some things to sell that were easier to sell and would not arouse others' suspicion, and left the rest to him. After a lot of trouble, he asked Rong Xin to follow him to help him check, fearing that he would not understand the twists and turns and sell things that should not be sold.

The Queen treated the Seventh Prince more and more like a mother tolerating her children.

In the end, he collected 430,000 taels of silver. Magistrate Chen almost couldn't stand still when he saw so many rich people. The key was that the emperor had a hand behind this, which made him a little flattered but also a little gloating.

Wen Xiuyi and he took a lot of credit for not giving them those little shitty things from the Ministry of Revenue when they asked for money to cultivate new grains. Now they don't give them for tourism, so don't blame him for soliciting sponsorship.

In the end, County Magistrate Chen paid 50,000 taels of silver out of his own pocket, and took out 20,000 taels from the Yamen, making up a total of 500,000 taels of silver.

Enough for them to climb mountains and build buildings.

As for why the Yamen was brought in, it was also to bet on the mouths of the people in the Household Department. If Lajing County became popular in the future, they would want to take a piece of the pie. At that time, it would be better to tell them that the court would not allocate money, so they had to use the Yamen to press the bottom of the box. Since I already have 20,000 taels of silver, I can only give the court the share price of 20,000 taels of silver. Do you want more? Gone

It was a complete show. The emperor specifically asked about the Ministry of Revenue during the court meeting. As a result, the people from the Ministry of Revenue came up with a lot of reasons. In short, one sentence was that County Magistrate Chen was out of his mind. Some people thought that Magistrate Chen might be taking the opportunity to think. To make money, let the emperor investigate this person strictly.

What the emperor was waiting for was for them to cling to the melons and jujubes in the treasury and not pay for them, so that when they made money in the future, he could justifiably rebuke the Ministry of Revenue for not doing things well, and he had a keen eye for discernment.

Finally, after the Ministry of Household Affairs argued hard, the emperor reluctantly agreed that they would not allocate money to County Magistrate Chen, and turned around and sent someone to deliver 100,000 taels of silver notes to Wen Yao.

With money in hand, County Magistrate Chen began to renovate Linjing County according to the original plan. Magistrate Chen also signed a contract with Wenyao's fireworks team. Once the construction here is completed, he will hold a three-day fireworks event. Later, it was held on the first and fifteenth day of each month to attract popularity.

In addition, several villages close to the mountains and rivers will also have to change their appearance. People in the villages will be trained and taught to read and write. They are not expected to know much, but only to be able to keep accounts and be reasonable.

Jin Xiuyi sensed an opportunity to open a school, so he ran home to ask his parents for some money and prepared to start building a school, starting in Linjing County.

It was only then that Jin Yan realized what this boy was planning to do with so much money.

Jin Yan was well-read in poetry and literature, but he was not as pedantic as those scholars. After a little thought, he understood what his son had done. He immediately took Mrs. Jin to Linjing County to investigate, and then quietly found Magistrate Chen. As a middleman, I bought two shops and two yards in Linjing County. I haven't decided what to do yet, but it is always right to invest with Wen Yao and the others.

It's a pity that County Magistrate Chen said that the county's construction funds are already sufficient and he cannot invest in it. Otherwise, he would have to invest in more stocks. However, the few shops that have been listed can be regarded as a head start.

The main thing is that His Majesty is behind this, and the two girls from the Wen family will definitely not let His Majesty lose money, so he just drank the soup.
