Su Qiao got off the carriage with a puzzled look.
The carriage had already stopped in a courtyard.
The courtyard wasn't too big, just a standard courtyard house.
However, the entire courtyard, from the decoration to the configuration, revealed a sense of elegance.
In the small courtyard, there were a few bonsai plants.
Even in Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to buy such a house in Jinling without a hundred taels of silver.
Before Su Qiao could come back to his senses...
A young man quickly ran out of the courtyard.
When he saw Su Qiao, he hurriedly came out of the hall to welcome him.
"This is Lord Su, right?"
Su Qiao cupped his hands and bowed as he asked with a puzzled expression,
"You are…?"
The young man immediately smiled and said,
"I am Shen Boding, the owner of Hengtong Boat Company.”
After saying that, Shen Boding started complaining to Su Qiao.
"Lord Su doesn't know that ever since the imperial court announced the ban on the sea, we who run to the sea can be said to be suffering!”
"It's all thanks to Lord Su's righteous words in the court a few days ago…"
Before Shen Boding could finish his sentence.
Su Qiao saw through the intentions of the person who came.
In this courtyard.
Then, he looked at the identity of this person.
Wasn't this a proper bribe?!
Thinking of this…
Su Qiao's eyes lit up.
I've already argued to this extent.
Even you, Old Zhu, won't kill me, right?
Then I'm going to make money!
Whether it was in his previous life or this life.
Su Qiao had never experienced what it felt like to be a corrupt official.
Thinking of this, Su Qiao immediately looked at Shen Boding and smiled.
"In that case, let's talk inside?”
After saying that, Su Qiao gestured to Uncle Shen.
Shen Boding looked at Su Qiao in surprise.
She had thought that Su Qiao was a hothead.
Once he saw that he had given such a generous gift, he would probably be scared out of his wits.
He had never expected things to go so smoothly.
Shen Boding immediately smiled and said,
"Good, good! Let's talk inside!"
Su Qiao walked into the hall and carefully sized up the layout in front of him.
After saying that, Su Qiao sat down on the armchair in the hall.
As soon as she sat down, before Shen Boding could say anything.
Su Qiao sighed.
"Sigh…"
Shen Boding's heart tightened. He looked at Su Qiao nervously and asked,
"What's wrong with Lord Su?"
Su Qiao clicked his tongue and said,
"Sigh, Minister Shen doesn't know that I have a problem since I was young.”
Uncle Shen looked at Su Qiao in confusion and asked,
"Please tell me, Lord Su."
Su Qiao immediately smiled mysteriously and said,
"I can only use mahogany furniture.”
After saying that, Su Qiao pointed at the armchair under his butt and said,
"This manchurian ash chair, it's just sitting up.”
Shen Boding's eyes lit up when he heard that.
I'm not afraid that you'll accept it.
I'm just afraid that you won't accept it!
"This is easy!"
"Lord Su, just you wait!"
After saying that, Shen Boding stood up and looked at the two attendants outside the hall.
"Quick, go back to the mansion and bring the set of mahogany furniture I just brought back from Nanyang!”
"Yes!"
One of the servants immediately left the courtyard in a hurry.
Su Qiao could not help but stretch and sigh helplessly.
"Ah, Minister Shen, look, I really didn't mean it that way.”
Shen Boding immediately smiled and said,
"Yes, Lord Su can't have such intentions.”
"This commoner saw that Lord Su had just arrived in Jinling and took the initiative to send some over.”
Su Qiao could not help but frown slightly when he heard that.
"Minister Shen, you have misunderstood."
"I mean…"
"Sigh, I just like to drink tea. It's not from the small seed of Zhengshan.”
Shen Boding slapped his forehead.
" I was too careless. You, go get ten catties of good tea leaves…"
Su Qiao looked at Shen Boding speechlessly.
After a long time, he spat out two words from his mouth and said,
"Just this much?"
Shen Boding could not help but be stunned.
So…little?
Sixty taels was enough to skin him alive!
This is enough to skin ten of you alive!
Shen Boding could not help but look troubled.
Then, she sat down beside Su Qiao.
Pointing at the table beside him, he whispered,
"Lord Su, how much do you think?"
Su Qiao didn't mind at all.
I'll make my debut casually
"Two hundred thousand taels!"
Shen Boding was speechless.
“……”
The entire hall fell into dead silence.
200,000 taels!
How much silver does the entire Great Ming earn in a year?
If it was an ordinary state capital.
They might not even be able to produce 200,000 taels of silver in a year!
Su Qiao asked for 200,000 taels?!
Do you know that 200,000 taels of silver can fill this hall?
Aren't you afraid that thieves will be after you for bringing back so much silver?!
Shen Boding froze on the spot.
She looked at Shen Boding's expression.
Su Qiao could not help but panic.
It was over.
More?
200,000 taels shouldn't be much.
He Shen was greedy for a few million taels of silver.
My 200,000 taels of silver should be more reserved, right?!
Just as Su Qiao was debating whether to lower the price.
Shen Boding slapped his thigh and shouted,
"Deal!"
"Lord Su, wait here for now. I'll go back and raise money now!”
