Before Su Qiao could react...
Shen Boding ran out of the house.
Seeing this, Su Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
It was only then that Su Qiao started to size up his 'landing spot'.
Everything was arranged properly.
Even the mattress had been laid out on the bed.
Su Qiao had thought that the day was over.
However, it was obvious that Su Qiao had underestimated Shen Boding's execution.
Four hours later.
Four carriages stopped in front of Su Qiao's house.
When several large boxes of silver were moved into Su Qiao's courtyard.
Su Qiao felt numb.
Who would have thought?
200,000 taels of silver.
There were actually so many of them!
There are only four rooms in this house.
200,000 taels of silver was enough to occupy a room!
……
……
Just as Su Qiao was still staring at the pile of silver in front of him with his mouth agape...
At the Shen family's residence on the other side.
Huang Zicheng was sitting in the hall, drinking tea.
Not long after, the head of the Shen family, Shen Wang, ran into the courtyard excitedly and looked at Huang Zicheng with excitement.
"Lord Huang, take it. That kid took it all!”
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"This time, I'm definitely going to stuff this kid to death!”
Just as Shen Wang finished speaking.
Corey immediately started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough…"
He looked at the Shen family's head, Shen Wang, with a face full of shock.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver!
He had never seen so much silver in his life!
Didn't I just ask you to give Su Qiao two taels of silver?
Who would have thought that your Shen family would be so generous?
Two hundred thousand taels of silver!
More importantly, this was two hundred thousand taels of silver!
Shen Wang didn't even blink!
How rich was the Shen family?
At the thought of this, Huang Zicheng was a little jealous of Shen Wang.
If it really didn't work out, he could resign and go home to do business.
Shen Wang looked at Huang Zicheng with a puzzled face and asked,
"Lord Huang, what are you doing?"
Huang Zicheng raised his hand and said,
"No worries, no worries."
"Did Su Qiao really take the two hundred thousand taels of silver?!”
Shen Wang immediately cupped his hands and said,
"Lord Huang, don't worry. This old master saw it being transported into that residence with my own eyes!”
Huang Zicheng nodded slightly and stood up with cupped hands.
"In that case, I have something to do. I'll take my leave first!”
Seeing that Huang Zicheng was about to leave, Shen Wang immediately asked in a panic,
"Lord Huang, what about Grand Sun?"
Huang Zicheng could not help but sneer slightly.
"Minister Shen, you can rest assured that His Highness Taisun will remember!”
Corey said.
Only then did Shen Wang's anxious heart finally relax.
200,000 taels of silver.
She wanted to buy a good one from Zhu Yunwen.
This money was well spent!
……
……
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Old Zhu was also giving his grandson an idea.
Emperor Si Zonglie:
"Great-grandfather, your grandson has already gone to the streets to investigate this morning.”
"Each stone of brown rice is already two taels and four silver coins.”
"Grandson wouldn't dare to increase the merchant tax without permission.”
"The court has discussed this a few times before, but every time I open my mouth, all the civil and military officials in the court will agree. Your son really doesn't dare to act rashly.”
Seeing the news mentioned by Chongzhen.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
Old Zhu knew that Chongzhen was telling the truth.
governing a great country is like cooking a small fish.
Once the business tax rose, it would definitely give the merchants a reason to raise the price.
As for the Chongzhen Dynasty, this was a disastrous year.
It was the time when the disaster victims needed to buy food in large quantities.
In this way, the merchants would definitely raise the price to the disaster victims.
Instead, it would have the effect of exploiting the people and forcing them to rebel.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma.
The Commander of the Brocade Guards, Jiang Meng, suddenly appeared in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Meng in confusion.
"Did something happen?"
Jiang Meng nodded slightly and said,
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
Jiang Meng hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice,
"Su Qiao."
Hearing Su Qiao's name, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but become vigilant.
He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.
"What's wrong with this kid?"
Jiang Meng whispered,
"Your Majesty, after Lord Su dismissed the court today, he was pulled into a carriage by two people and sent to a courtyard in the capital.”
"Four hours later, a few carriages stopped outside the courtyard.”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in disbelief,
"This brat accepted silver from others?"
Jiang Meng nodded slightly.
"Yes, at least two hundred thousand taels of silver!”
"Hiss ~!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was already mentally prepared.
He could not help but gasp.
Good fellow!
Two hundred thousand taels of silver!
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Jiang Wei and asked,
"Is it a gift from the King of Yan?"
Jiang Meng shook her head.
"No, it's Hengtong Boat Company, a merchant.”
" Merchant?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
I know that merchants are rich.
However, he did not expect these merchants to be so rich!
I usually have to be stingy to spend a few taels of silver.
These merchants bribed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?!
Just thinking about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have suddenly realized something.
"Not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the chat group at the side…
