Wang He was stunned for a moment when he heard Tian He's words. Then, he nodded.
"Brother, you're right. Your brain is still good!”
Wang He looked at Tian He with a gratified expression, then turned to the maidservant beside him and said,
"Chunmei, go get some gold for my brother!”
When the maidservant heard this, she went to fetch some gold and gave it to Tian Kui.
"Is it enough?"
Wang He asked Tian He. After Tian He's advice, she knew what she should do to win the Emperor's heart, so she was in a good mood.
"Enough, enough. Thank you, sister!”
Feeling the heavy weight of all kinds of precious jewelry in his arms, Tian Meng hurriedly put away the gold and smiled.
After receiving the gold, Tian Qiong didn't stay any longer and hurriedly bid farewell.
"Hey, remember not to spend money recklessly!"
Wang He only had time to warn him before he saw that Tian He had already disappeared.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wang He shook his head and laughed. He did not plan to continue weaving. He was going to accompany Emperor Jing of Han after dressing up.
With the help of her maid, Chun Mei, she finished dressing up and was ready to open the jewelry box to pick out a few pieces of jewelry to decorate.
However, when she opened the jewelry box and saw that it was empty, her eyes immediately widened.
The maidservant, Chun Mei, also widened her eyes when she saw that. Her jewelry was gone!
"Your Highness, this servant saw Your Highness 'younger brother open this jewelry box just now…"
The maidservant recalled the scene she had just seen.
"This Tian Meng!"
Wang He said angrily. She was glad that her brother had become sensible, but she didn't expect him to take all her jewelry away in the blink of an eye.
However, she sighed again. There was nothing she could do. After all, he was her biological brother!
……
At this moment, Tian Meng had just left Weiyang Palace!
"Oh, this should be able to mortgage a lot of gold!”
Tian Meng took out the jewelry in his arms and looked at them one by one. They were all top-grade royal jewelry with extraordinary value.
He didn't stay any longer. He took the jewelry to the jewelry shop and pawnshop on Chang 'an Street and exchanged all the jewelry for a large sum of gold.
Qian Gui's side was also proceeding smoothly. He had also obtained a large sum of gold from the mortgage of the manor and had even found many merchants to lend him a large sum of money.
On the second day, Tian Meng was very satisfied with the chests of gold that had been exchanged for gold. The money he had gathered was more than he had expected.
"Gentleman, you're risking your life to gamble this time!”
Worry appeared on Qian Gui's face. He had never seen so much money in his life.
But now, they were going to lend all this money to the Imperial Court. Although the interest from the Imperial Court was very tempting, if the Imperial Court lost a battle or the war situation turned bad for a few years and they could not pay back the money, then they would be finished.
"Don't worry. Let's go to the recruitment office of the Imperial Court!”
Tian Meng smiled and greeted Qian Gui.
Qian Gui nodded and ordered people to carry all the boxes of gold onto the two ox-carts.
Tian Qiong rode his horse in front, followed by the servants driving the ox cart.
Soon, they arrived at the wide street at the junction of the East City and the West City of Chang 'an. The place where the imperial court raised funds was located here.
The streets here were wide and close to the East and West Cities, so there were many pedestrians passing by.
Because the notice of the imperial court raising funds had been pasted all over Chang 'an, countless people and businessmen in Chang' an City had gathered here.
Therefore, this place was filled with people, making it even more lively.
Countless commoners discussed as they watched the people entering and leaving the recruitment point in twos and threes.
"There aren't many people lending money to the imperial court today!”
"That's right. I heard that the rebel army is very powerful. Many people don't dare to lend money easily!”
"Sigh, do you think the Imperial Court will succeed in quelling the rebellion this time?”
"How would I know?"
"This one would like to lend some money to the Imperial Court, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get back my capital!”
"This one is the same. The interest the Imperial Court is offering this time is not low, but the risk is too great!”
"Yeah, look at those big businessmen over there. No one dares to make a move easily!”
"Hehe, you guys are afraid, but I'm not. Who cares? The imperial court hasn't paid any taxes these years, which is why we have a good life. Now that the imperial court is in trouble, if I can't contribute, then what's the harm in contributing some money?”
"It's the same. Regardless of whether it's profitable or not, it can be considered a token of my appreciation to the Imperial Court. I hope that the Imperial Court can suppress the rebellion as soon as possible and end the war!”
"Hmph, if we were to fight those hateful Xiongnu, I would be willing to empty my family's wealth. However, that Liu fellow is fighting his own family. Who wins or loses is none of my business!”
……
Countless voices of discussion rang out on this wide street. There were people with all kinds of attitudes.
However, judging from the number of people entering and leaving the recruitment office, there were not many people willing to lend money to the court. Most people were holding a wait-and-see attitude.
At this moment!
"Make way…"
"Come, make way…"
A young voice sounded from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and made way for them. They looked at Tian Qiong and the two ox-carts with boxes.
Seeing this scene, especially the two ox-carts, everyone's eyes widened. Then, a huge discussion broke out in the crowd.
"This, did this person bring two carts of money?”
"I'm afraid so. Otherwise, what else could I do here?”
"Oh my god, the two carts of copper coins add up to nearly a thousand gold coins!”
"This person is so bold? How dare you lend so much money to the Imperial Court?"
"Tsk tsk, you're really not afraid of death. If the Imperial Court loses, these two carriages of money will be completely wasted!”
"Close to a thousand gold. Up until now, no one has lent so much money to the imperial court!”
" Of course, those rich merchants are still watching…"
Tian Qiong ignored the discussions around him. He rode his horse with two carts of money and went straight to the collection point guarded by a team of soldiers.
Several officials who were sitting at the collection point in charge of registration also saw Tian Meng coming over with two carts of money.
Among them, the official in charge of collecting military supplies and money, Liang Feng, saw this scene and instantly stood up. He took the initiative to welcome them with some joy.
"You…are Mister Tian?"
Liang Feng asked with uncertainty. He was not too familiar with such a minor official. He had only seen him occasionally during the Grand Court Meeting.
"Lord Liang has a good memory, I am Tian Meng!”
Tian Kui got off his horse and smiled at him.
" It's really Langguan Tian. Langguan Tian, you're…"
Liang Feng pointed at the two oxcarts filled with boxes and asked curiously.
"Of course I'll lend the money to the Imperial Court!”Tian Qiong said with a smile.
Liang Feng's eyes widened when he heard that. He looked at the two carts of money and then looked at Tian Kui.
He didn't expect this young Langguan to be so rich. These two carts of copper coins were probably close to a thousand gold coins!
"Good, good, Mister Tian is righteous!”
Liang Feng had been worried that not many people were willing to lend money to the Imperial Court and that the progress of collecting military supplies was slow. Now that the other party had shipped so much money, he was very happy.
Without hesitation, he waved his hand and ordered the people beside him,
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the money down to count and register!”
