Chapter 756 Gold Medal (3)
The rest of the merchant families were all overjoyed in unison.But Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan rejected the emperor's favor at the same time.

The emperor looked at the two in surprise, "You two don't want to be officials in the court?"

Xie Yunji smiled, and said suavely, "I am reluctant to live an unfettered life."

Xie Yunlan also smiled, "I'm not in good health, the emperor knows about it, so as not to miss court affairs, it's fine to enter the court as an official."

The emperor looked a little ugly for a while, originally he wanted to tie the two of them with his official position, but he didn't expect that neither of them had any plans to enter the court.But the things in the hands of these two people are dozens of times more than those in the hands of other merchants. He can only ask, "What do those two people want, if I can satisfy it, I will definitely give it to them."

Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan looked at each other, but did not answer.

The emperor looked at the two of them, "But it's okay!"

Xie Yunji smiled and said, "If the emperor wants to give it, why not give Xie's salt warehouse a gold medal to avoid death."

The emperor's smiling face immediately froze when he heard the words.

Xie Yunlan smiled, "I originally thought that as a citizen of Southern Qin Dynasty and a descendant of the Xie family, I should share the emperor's worries, and those who are able to work hard for the suffering of the people should not ask for anything from the emperor. However, since Yun Ji asked for this , then I will also ask for a gold medal for avoiding death for Xie's Rice Grain!"

The emperor looked at the two, Xie Yunlan's expression became very gloomy after he finished speaking.

"At first, I thought that a small gold medal for avoiding death would be a piece of cake for the emperor. But I think the emperor seems to be in a difficult situation. Since the emperor is in a difficult situation, then forget it." Xie Yunji said immediately.

Xie Yunlan nodded, "Of course, if the emperor thinks this request is too much, then forget it."

The emperor was silent for a moment, looking at the two, "Why do you two want to avoid the death of the gold medal? Do you think that I will kill Xie's rice grain and Xie's salt warehouse?"

Xie Yunji smiled, "Yangyang Nanqin, the great Xie family, has always been loyal and never committed any crimes or disobedience. The emperor will naturally not kill us. But we don't need anything now, so we won't die The gold medal is nothing more than to keep the children and grandchildren safe in the future."

Xie Yunlan smiled, "Exactly!"

The emperor stared at the two of them for a while, and then looked at Xie Mohan, "Your Majesty Xie, I didn't invite you. You took the initiative to come today. What request do you have? Are you the same as them?"

Xie Mohan shook his head, "The Zhongyonghou Mansion has always been loyal to the country, and it is only natural to share the emperor's worries. If the Linfen Bridge is not built, tens of thousands of people will suffer in the flood season. I will not do what I want. Zhongyonghou Mansion will eat the king Zhilu, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, should bear the brunt for the country and the people."

"Okay!" The emperor clapped his hands together, "I am so relieved to have a word from Mr. Xie."

"If Xie's Rice Grain and Xie's Salt Store can produce 500 million taels of silver, I will give each of you a gold medal for avoiding death." The Queen turned her head and said to Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan.

"Your Majesty, five million taels is not a small amount." Xie Yunji looked at the Emperor.

"Not everyone can get the gold medal for avoiding death. Since the founding of the Southern Qin Dynasty, except for a gold medal for avoiding death given by the Taizu of the Wang family, there has never been a gold medal for avoiding death. This time, I rewarded it once. Two yuan is already an exception," said the emperor.

"In that case, even if Xie's salt warehouse tightens its belt to live, it will have to spend 500 million taels." Xie Yunji said bitterly, "Then thank the emperor! After I go back next time, I will make preparations for the emperor."

"It can't be too late, seven days at the most, and I will send people from the Ministry of Industry to Linfen Bridge." The emperor said, "When the silver is ready, I will send someone to give you two gold medals for avoiding death."

Xie Yunji nodded.

The emperor looked at Xie Yunlan.

Xie Yunlan also nodded.

The emperor looked at Xie Mohan again, "Master Xie, how much can the Zhongyonghou Mansion get?"

Xie Mohan sighed, "Marquis Zhongyong naturally can't get that much. Over the years, my grandfather is getting old, my sister and I are in poor health, and we have spent countless medicines. But we can still get a million taels of silver. "

The emperor nodded.

The matter was settled at this point, the emperor left everyone in the palace for lunch, the three of them shied away and left the palace together.

After hearing this, Xie Fanghua sneered, "Although the gold medal for avoiding death is good, the power is still in the hands of the emperor. 1000 million taels of silver was exchanged for two pieces of this crappy thing. It's a shame."

Xie Yunlan smiled and shook his head when he heard the words, "You have to take the money no matter what. With these two gold medals, once Yun Ji's identity is exposed, the emperor can't do anything to Yun Ji, but he can't easily deal with Xie's salt warehouse. .”

"That's right, if it wasn't for Xie's salt warehouse, who cares about it!" Xie Yunji twitched his lips.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

Xie Mohan asked about Prince Ying's mansion again, and Xie Fanghua told the truth.Hearing that Qin Hao's maid and concubine died today, he couldn't help being surprised.But in the end it was Qin Hao's concubine, and the three of them were not very interested, so they started talking about the news they had received about the departure of the two from Qingshuilou tonight, discussing countermeasures, how to make a move, and not alarming the hidden guards of the royal family Leave those two without eyeliner.
