The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 104
The method Shangguan Qing said was passed on to the crown prince Chu Qianyu and the eldest princess Chu Huaiyu successively. The two immediately organized people to take inventory of the inventory of the Craftsman Division, hoping to smooth out the empty part through inventory transfer.

But Shangguan Qing found too much shortfall, close to 130 million gold.

The eldest princess was so worried that she didn't sleep all night. After she settled the account according to Shangguan Qing's method, she still needed to make up the shortfall of more than 70 gold. She simply couldn't afford that much money. All the money she had been greedy for ink over the years had been subsidized to the prime minister. , This maintained the prime minister's reputation of integrity.

Now he can only embezzle some from Chu Qianyu and secretly sell off some of the private property of the Princess Mansion to smooth out the accounts.

"Damn you low maid." The more Chu Huaiyu thought about it, the angrier she became, and she wished she could swallow Shangguan Qing alive.

Early this morning, Chu Huaiyu sent someone to contact the prince, but it was almost night, and no one came to answer her. She had a vague premonition.

Just when Chu Huaiyu was restless and impatient, the female officer hurried in and whispered a report in her ear: "Your Highness, what happened to the accountant?"

"What happened again?" Chu Huaiyu's heart sank.

"There were 12 people working in the accountant's office. Three of them hanged themselves at home last night, and three of them fled. Among them was Cao Liyong, a great writer. He also ran away."

Chu Huaiyu felt dizzy for a while. Originally, there was a shortage of manpower, and the counting room was reduced by half. Now there is no scapegoat.

The confidant female officer suggested in a low voice: "Your Highness, why don't you set a fire and burn down the account books and storehouses. Such things often happen in localities."

"Wait, let me think about it." Chu Huaiyu was caught in a dilemma.

"Your Highness, if you break it, you must break it. You can't hesitate any longer."

Chu Huaiyu nodded slightly, and the confidant female officer left quickly.

In the secret pavilion of the Prince's Mansion, Chu Qianyu looked at a map on the table, and there were several dots drawn on the map, each of which was a treasure trove, in which were buried 300 treasures that he had used various means for the past five years. million gold.Most of them are small silver cakes, and some jewelry, jade and antiques.

It's really funny to think about it, it took him five years to spend 300 million gold, Shangguan Qing easily created an industry worth millions of gold, and it was completely legal, so he didn't have to worry about being found out, but he Live with trepidation and look forward to ascending the throne soon.

Only when his father is dead can he be absolutely safe.

The eldest princess sent someone over just now, hoping to embezzle 70 gold from him, but he didn't meet the female official who came to contact him, and he didn't plan to pay the money.

"I will definitely be found here." Chu Qianyu would not doubt the wisdom of the emperor. The emperor ruled Chu for more than [-] years, and his control and desire to control were extremely strong.

Thinking back on everything that happened in the past five years, Chu Qianyu let out a heavy breath.

"Did I do something wrong back then? No, I was not wrong. Living is the most important thing. As long as I live to the end, victory must belong to me."

Chu Qianyu put away the treasure map, pulled the bell on the wall, and soon two people walked in, one was Chen Lei, a master builder of the capital hired by Shangguan Qing, and the other was Mo Ye, an assassin from the East China Sea.

Unlike Chen Lei's respectful attitude, Mo Ye's defiant cupping of hands was considered a greeting.

Chu Qianyu got up and greeted Mo Ye to sit down, and asked, "Mr. Ye, have you got the cement formula?"

Mo Ye took out a piece of paper and put it on the table. Chu Qianyu picked it up to have a look. The simplicity of the raw materials on it exceeded all his imagination. Such an expensive thing was actually made of stone.

Chu Qianyu was a little uncertain, he looked at Chen Lei who was standing beside him.

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with the formula. The cement factory uses these to burn cement, but the secret recipe is not enough, and the kiln blueprint is also needed."

"Are you sure?" Chu Qianyu narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Chen Lei hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Your Highness sees clearly that I have sent someone to test firing, but it has no effect at all."

At this time, Mo Ye, whose alias was Mr. Ye, said: "The volcanic ash is produced by the most violent earth fire. How can a little ordinary fire burn the stone into ashes?"

He was unconvinced in his heart. There are many volcanoes on the Dongyi Islands, and they will also produce volcanic ash.

However, due to the embargo of Chu State and the monopoly of the Ma family in the northwest, they can only transport a small amount to Chu State for sale every year. Now that Shangguan Qing has made a fuss, the volcanic ash business cannot be done.

The money that Dong Yi lost every year made Mo Ye want to kill Shangguan Qing every time he dreamed back at midnight.

If the kiln structure had not been brought into the imperial palace and placed in the hands of Emperor Chu Huaitian, he would have wanted to kill Shangguan Qing and make the method of cement firing disappear forever.

"So, we still need to know the structure of the kiln?"

"Yes."

"Won't you go to the kiln to buy some master craftsmen? I don't believe that with your Chen family's status in the circle of master craftsmen in the capital, you won't be able to persuade one of them. I will pay for how much it costs."

"Your Highness, Shangguan Qing shared twelve master craftsmen and let them jointly hold 50% of the shares. This is a huge sum of [-] gold, and Shangguan Qing also promised to support them to build factories in other places in three years and provide all Skills and start-up capital, I have tried, but I have not seen any of them, they all live in kilns and do not go home.”

"..." Chu Qianyu was completely speechless, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.After a long time, he roared angrily: "Is Shangguan Qing stupid? Why did she give those craftsmen so much money? Isn't her money money?"

Mo Ye frowned, it was the first time he had seen such a generous employer.

Under such conditions, a fool would betray.

Too much money.

Too many put loyalty in people's hearts, and they can't get rid of it even if they want to.

Of course, Shangguan Qing is not stupid. After distributing the dividends of the first quarter's profits, she began to consider reducing her holdings to [-]% of the shares, and selling the other [-]% of the shares in cash, so that she would have enough funds to do what she wanted. Things to do.

"Girl, there's a fight ahead." An Lu trotted in, almost bumping into Zhu Qing who was standing at the door.

"Be careful, you are frizzy, the girl will teach you in vain." Zhu Qing tapped An Lu's head, her tone was full of pity and love.

An Lu stuck out her tongue, panted and said, "Girl, there is a fight ahead, the Pingchuan Hou family is fighting with the Qizhou Hou family, Pingchuan Hou wants to redeem the shares of the cement factory at the original price, and the Qizhou Hou family's If they refused, people from both sides began to fight at the gate, and Sister Nianci had already sent someone to block the middle gate to prevent those people from breaking in."

After hearing this, Zhu Qing complained: "This is the first time, when I sold the shares to them for [-] gold shares, they seemed to have been greatly wronged. If the stock price has risen a bit, they will sell it in a hurry, and now they see the money and want to go back, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.”

An Lu immediately said, "Yes, the Minister of Rites has returned the original price of the shares."
