Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 470 It’s time to bribe the emperor

In the next few days, the weather got hotter and hotter, and an extra piece of ice was put in the room at night. Cheng Xiaosi lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, so he told Yuan Su about Tiangan. Yuan Su also said that Qin Tianjian watched the sky at night. He has already speculated about this, "It won't take long, but we still need to prepare early."

"Drinking water in the mansion is not a problem, but this year's grain production reduction is almost a foregone conclusion, and the emperor is keeping an even closer eye on the trading houses."

If you don't have food, you will only miss the money. If you have money, you can buy food. "The emperor frequently summons his father-in-law now, just to make the business earn money as soon as possible."

"My father-in-law was forced to do nothing. He planned to imitate Dongshu and set up a bank account belonging to a commercial bank. Only this way can he get money in the shortest time."

“But I’m still learning about the specific method.”

Cheng Xiaosi has confirmed that there must be someone who has traveled through time in Dongshu, and he is also a high-level person in Dongshu. The newspaper New Year Festival and the like organized by Dongshu should not be in this era, but they are all good things.

"I've heard something about it. Can you tell me about it?"

She still knew the operation of the bank very well. It should be said that most people who lived in that era had only a superficial understanding of it.

Yuan Su said that he was all ears, and Cheng Xiaosi said something selectively. Of course, she couldn't explain it at a deeper level. The most important thing for the court at the moment was to absorb deposits, so how could it be absorbed?
"One is to give interest. The more you save and the longer you save, the more interest you get. When you can get three taels of silver a year by depositing one hundred taels, many people will flock to it."

"The second is gift-giving, which absorbs small deposits from ordinary people. For example, if you deposit ten taels, you can get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, two kilograms of oil, etc."

"The above two points are both loss-making for the bank, so there must be two more that can support profitable transactions. One is to use people's deposits to do other transactions. The profit from the transaction must be greater than the interest given to the people. "The second is external borrowing. If the borrowing interest is higher than the deposit interest, you can earn money. The prerequisite for this is that there must be collateral, because it may become a bad debt that cannot be recovered."

The more she talked, the more energetic she became. She simply sat up and shook her cattail leaf fan to talk. The more Yuan Su listened, the more frightened she became. He felt that what she said did not come from hearsay, "Have you gone out of your way to understand it before?"

"No."

It's purely a matter of subtle influence, combined with the ability to associate.

Yuan Su was curious, but did not ask further. He thought it might be because of his influence from the Cheng family. After all, most of the Cheng family knew how to do business.

The two talked until midnight. The next day Yuan Su reorganized what Cheng Xiaosi said and added his own things and told it to Cheng Daqi. Cheng Daqi thought it was feasible and asked him to come up with a charter as soon as possible. He also learned that some things were still small for him. When Si said that, she immediately laughed and praised her mistress. In the evening of that day, she and Yuan Su went to Yuan's house to see their daughter.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so hot that the chirping of cicadas on the branches has disappeared. The drought-stricken snowflakes from all over the place have drifted to the capital and to the emperor. In the face of natural disasters, the emperor has not been doing well except offering sacrifices to the autumn rain in person. Method.

The pressure on Cheng Daqi is increasing. It is obviously not the right time to open the ticket number when the people are not willing to go out in this hot weather, so they can only make preparations.
The worse news is that there has been a long drought and no rain. The water level of the river outside the city has dropped, impeding the passage of large ships. Not only is the official road slow, but it is impossible to travel when the sun is too strong. People can travel with straw hats, but what about animals?

Seeing that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker day by day, the adults in the court kept a low profile and did not dare to raise their heads, for fear that the emperor would notice them.

On this day, even Cheng Daqi, who had always been favored, was reprimanded by the emperor for not doing things well. The adults in the court would never appear in front of the emperor unless necessary. Yuan Pei was also disappointed and sighed when he came back.

"His Majesty"

He would bite whoever he caught, but he didn't dare to say this, so he could only sigh, "Worry."

Mrs. Yuan handed him the cut fruit, "There is nothing you can do if you are anxious." Cheng Xiaosi, who was enjoying the coolness at the side, said that what the emperor is short of now is money, "The trading company has just been established, and there will be no profit for a while. Force me to There’s nothing dad can do.”

"But the trading house doesn't have it. There is money elsewhere."

Everyone looked at her, and Cheng Xiaosi waved his fan slowly, "The Queen is here to raise funds in any name. There are so many rich people in the city, so everyone can just donate a little. "

"That's the fastest way to make money."

She felt that the emperor's bottom line was actually very low. Maybe he had such an idea in his heart and was just waiting for someone to bring it up.

"If it really happens, then I'm willing to donate, and I can donate more."

"After all, the whole capital, including the emperor, knows that I have a large dowry, and also knows that the Yuan family has given me a large betrothal gift."

When he said this, Yuan Pei had second thoughts. Thinking back to the fact that he had just cried in front of the emperor today, he felt that it was a mistake. No wonder the father-in-law was scolded by the emperor. Maybe he was thinking about their money?
At this moment, Yuan Pei was enlightened and stood up immediately, "Wu Lang, accompany me to your in-law's house."

Let's discuss it. It would be a good idea to go to the emperor tomorrow to make up for him and make some meritorious deeds.

Yuan Su also thought of this. In his eyes, this was the time to bribe the emperor. The money that should be spent must be spent. Doesn't business also need to be managed somewhere?

The father and son left very quickly. Mrs. Yuan was still sighing and said that Cheng Xiaosi was smart. Cheng Xiaosi didn't say much. It couldn't be said that in her perception, the emperor was somewhat shameless and wanted to make any money, right?

Mrs. Yuan added that this man also had many difficulties and could not rest at this time. Cheng Xiaosi nodded in agreement. After enjoying privileges, he must take responsibility. It is not easy to talk about it.
Never mind, it's pretty easy for her.

After the morning session the next day, Yuan Pei and Cheng Daqi went to the Imperial Study Room and raised the issue of fundraising. The sharp-eyed Yuan Pei saw that the emperor's blue and black face soon became better looking, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. It was really... The emperor has thought this for a long time, but he did not say it. He insisted on speaking out as a minister.

What a sin committed by a minister.

On the morning of the next day, Mrs. Yuan was summoned into the palace by the queen. She also met Xiao He at the gate of the palace. The two looked at each other understandingly and smiled. When they arrived in front of the queen, they were very cooperative and expressed that they would support the matter as much as possible.

When Xiao He went back to the Yuan family with Mrs. Yuan, he was very happy to see that Cheng Xiaosi had gained a lot more weight than before in such a hot day. This showed that her Xiaosi also had a good time in the Yuan family. Good times.

"Looking at you, I can tell you're doing well. How are you doing lately? Do you feel sick in your stomach?"

Cheng Xiaosi fanned her, "It's not uncomfortable, it's just itchy. It's itchy in my stomach."

"That's normal, it's the child moving."

"Moving at such a young age?"

Seeing her stupidity, Xiao He laughed and said, "Why don't you move? Don't you think it's weird?"
