Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 106
Wu Yangchun was a little panicked when he heard the sound of horseshoes. Although he was guarded by Jin Yiwei, he couldn't help but have too much money at home!
He really shouldn't have agreed with those relatives to deposit their money here at the beginning. As soon as the news spread, all his close friends in the business field came.

The ones from relatives are accepted, but can we not accept those from close friends?

He is in business, relying on these close friends!

There are too many people saving here, and the amount of money is a bit scary. He has a headache when he looks at it. The eyes of those bandits are not greedy!
Fortunately, the ones who came this time did not look like bandits, at least there was no sound of fighting outside.

He ordered people to run to inquire, and it turned out that it was the imperial envoy who came!

This imperial envoy represents the emperor. Although he married his daughter to the emperor, the imperial envoy is not his son-in-law!

He didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly led someone to carry the red carpet, opened the door, and greeted him out.

I heard that this imperial envoy is still a fourth-rank eunuch with palm prints. Although he is a eunuch, but where is his rank? He is a fourth-rank, and he is a seventh-rank. The difference is too far.
He was thinking about it secretly, but Wang Chengen bowed his hands without hesitation and said: "The seal of the palace supervisor, the next official, Wang Chengen has seen the father-in-law."

Uh, I am seventh grade, you are fourth grade, and you still call yourself a lower official?

From the looks of it, Wan'er is probably doing pretty well in the palace!
Wu Yangchun was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and bowed again and again and said: "Oh, the imperial envoy is here, I am sorry to welcome you, forgive me, forgive me."

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed and explained: "The father-in-law is too polite. The next official is just passing on a message by order. He is not considered a serious imperial envoy. He dare not be such a great gift as the father-in-law."

He is very clear that the emperor is so doting on the imperial concubine and concubine. Moreover, the emperor intends to add officials to the father-in-law of the country. This is an upstart in the dynasty, and his status in the future will definitely be far behind him But never dare to put on airs in front of others.

Wu Yangchun was a bit puzzled by Wang Chengen's respectful attitude. You acted like I was at the fourth rank and you were at the seventh rank. What's going on?
However, he can be regarded as an old man, and there is a reason for his attitude. He just followed his attitude and greeted him politely.

He was no longer obsessed with the issue of identity, and he directly raised his hand and said kindly: "Prince Wang, please come inside, please come inside, Wu Fu, please come in and sit with the imperial envoy, it's good to entertain you."

Wu Yangchun took Wang Chengen into the lobby where the guests were welcomed, the two of them made some courtesy, and sat down separately to the host and guest. He ordered someone to serve the tea, and then solemnly asked: "My lord, I don't know what the emperor has to say. ?”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said respectfully: "The next official is ordered by the emperor to come to Nanzhili to deal with the fertile land in Huangzhuang. The emperor said that he will come to Huizhou after the deal is over, and tell the father-in-law to pay some money and make sense. That's it. , Your Majesty will be able to use this as an excuse to grant you a title. Congratulations, my father-in-law."

Enter the noble!

When Wu Yangchun heard this, a burst of blood rushed straight to his forehead, and he almost fainted from excitement.

Although one may not have any power after becoming a noble these days, the status is different!
You know, at least one is an earl, and the status of a nobleman is much higher than that of ordinary people in the officialdom.

Glory to the ancestors, absolute glory to the ancestors!

Even if the title cannot be hereditary, the old Wu family has a noble with a title. Compared with the identity of the merchant, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground!
He had inquired about it. Generally, after his own daughter became the emperor's concubine, sooner or later she would have a corresponding canonization.

However, the father of an ordinary concubine usually seals a hundred or a thousand households, and the father of a noble concubine generally seals a commander, a governor, or a duke or earl. share!

How could he have imagined that the emperor would give him a title.

This is great news for the entire Xinan Wu family!

He was dizzy for a while, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Did the emperor say how much he would pay?"

Wang Chengen said frankly: "The emperor said, at least 10 taels, how much you can decide. However, I have an unfeeling request, I don't know if I should say it or not."

10 million taels?
That's a small thing!
Now their Wu family is earning more than 10 taels a month.

Wu Yangchun said without hesitation: "Eunuch Wang, you say, as long as I can help, I will definitely not be vague."

Hearing this, Wang Chengen couldn't help sighing slightly: "Master, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Liaodong is about to go to war right now, there are more than 20 troops, and there are more than 200 million displaced Liao people, all rely on the emperor The emperor is in a hurry right now! Your subordinates have the guts to say, Lord Zhang, if you have enough money, you can buy more land, it can be regarded as helping the emperor and saving the lives of the Liaodong army and people!"

what?
More than 20 troops, more than 200 million civilians!
How much food is needed to feed them?
When Wu Yangchun heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and said, "The situation in Liaodong is so difficult?"

Wang Chengen nodded silently and said: "Yes, those civil servants in the court know the infighting. They don't care whether they have money and food to support the army and people in Liaodong. The emperor is forced to sell the land of Huangzhuang, alas."

It was only now that Wu Yangchun realized that what Wang Chengen said about dealing with the land in Huangzhuang was actually selling land!

These days, the land is the lifeline. If it weren't for being so anxious, who would sell the land!

The emperor is his son-in-law, so I can help you!

Besides, it is not a loss to buy this land, anyone who has money will consider buying land!
Thinking of this, Wu Yangchun said seriously: "Grandpa Wang, you mean the money is actually money for buying land, right? How much is it per mu?"

Wang Chengen nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, this money is not for you to pay for nothing. How much money you pay, you can buy as much land in Huangzhuang. If you don't want to be an official, you don't dare to dare to ask you to pay more. As for the price, you It’s the father-in-law of the country, so of course the officer has to give you the cheapest price, how about this, no matter where it is, it’s 20 taels per mu, you can pick whatever you want.”

20 taels per mu is too cheap. Huangzhuang is all good land, and 25 taels per mu is not expensive.

If it's a dry donation, he may have to think about it, and he can buy a good land by the way, so why hesitate!
Wu Yangchun made some estimates, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine, I'll buy [-] mu of silver, and you can use it now to solve the urgent need of the emperor."

Fifty thousand mu is 100 million taels!

This is all right, the most difficult first month has passed. As for the rest, he has already issued a death order. In the next year, the money and food will definitely be sent to Liaodong continuously. The money and food of Liaodong soldiers and civilians are no problem. up!

Wang Chengen hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your generosity, the father-in-law. I thank you on behalf of the emperor and the army and people of Liaodong."

Wu Yangchun also got up quickly and said: "My lord, hurry up, please sit back, please sit back."

Wang Chengen sat back, but he paced back and forth in the lobby.

Is this 100 million taels enough?
Liaodong has more than 20 troops and more than 200 million civilians!

He walked around for a while, then turned around suddenly, and solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa Wang, please go back and tell the emperor, I will organize Huizhou merchants and big merchants near Huizhou Prefecture to find a way for the Liaodong army and people, as long as you If there is land, I believe it will not be a problem to raise another one million taels."

He is really not bragging about this. You know, there are more than a thousand merchants in Huizhou Prefecture alone, and he knows hundreds of large merchants from other places. Buying land with money can also gain a good reputation for aiding Liaodong. He believes that , Raising 100 million taels is definitely not a problem.

Now Huizhou merchants have made a lot of money, and even all the merchants in Nanzhili are booming because of the emperor's new policy, and they are making a lot of money. Isn't it right for them to contribute some money to help the emperor tide over this difficulty?

How could Wang Chengen have thought that he could sell so much land with just a casual remark.

Now it's all right, the emperor doesn't have to worry about money anymore, he has done a pretty good job of selling the land, it's the best of both worlds!

He hurriedly got up again and cupped his hands and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, thank you so much."
