Chapter 38 If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firm.(1/2)
"How many?"
Zhao Chongyuan asked subconsciously.
Xu Tiande on the side also raised his head curiously.
Queen Ma was even more hopeful.
"Your Majesty, a total of six thousand eight hundred taels!"
"What?"
"so much?"
"All sold out?"
Listen to what Wang Lishi said.
Zhao Chongyuan, Xu Tiande, and Queen Ma were all a little confused.
Wang Lishi followed Zhao Chongyuan's instructions and found a place to sell the fine wine and jade dew obtained from Zhao Ding.
It's not that they don't know about this.
But they never expected that they would be sold out in one day?
“Not only is it sold out, but people who have paid a deposit to make an appointment are already waiting for three months.
Including the 30% deposit of the advance payment and today's profit, that's 30,560 taels."
The more Wang Lishi talked, the more excited he became. He clasped his fingers and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with excitement on his face: "Your Majesty, if we sell all these fine wines and jade dews, the revenue from this item alone will be 668,000 taels of silver."
Boom!
Zhao Chongyuan trembled in his heart.
As the emperor of Daqian, it's not that he has never seen a lot of money, but the money came too fast!
Six hundred and sixty thousand taels is the annual tax revenue of a medium-sized city!
The total tax revenue for the entire Daqian year is only 24 million taels, which also includes various collected grains.
And now he actually made 660,000 taels in one day?
"Your Majesty, this is a money grab."
Xu Tiande murmured to himself.
"Now I finally understand why Ding'er's Youzhou has developed so fast."
Empress Ma subconsciously held the table and slowly sat down with a blank look in her eyes.
It's not that they are poor, it's that they didn't find the right method.
"Hercules, hurry up and sell all the things I brought back from Youzhou this time, except for some celestial eyepieces and clocks that are necessary for Tiande's military."
Zhao Chongyuan's voice trembled and he quickly ordered.
Originally, he planned to keep the perfume and soap as rewards for the harem.
But now it seems.
It's a complete waste of resources.
Money is so easy to earn, why not use it to make money?
With all this money, why should he worry about the empty treasury of Daqian?
At the same time, Zhao Chongyuan also felt a little angry in his heart.
These princes and nobles cry out every day that they have no money. Every time Zhao Chongyuan wants to collect some money from these princes and nobles to help the people, these princes and nobles always excuse themselves by saying that they have no money at home and that they have to pay for various expenses in the house for a year. Even the salary is not enough.
Is this moneyless?
I'm reluctant to take it out.
"Tiande, please pack up. After the warriors sell these things, collect the money and let's go to Youzhou again."
After coming back to his senses, Zhao Chongyuan quickly gave instructions to Xu Tiande.
He went to Youzhou this time not only for these goods, but also to see how many tricks Zhao Ding had hidden for him.
"If you want to issue an edict, should you inform His Highness King Yan first?"
Xu Tiande asked subconsciously.
Zhao Chongyuan laughed and scolded: "What the hell are you telling me? Did you tell me that that boy is still telling the truth? How hard has it been to hide it from us all these years? I'm not afraid of your jokes. In addition to giving me memorials and complaining, this boy Zhao Ding has also I bribed the person in charge of Youzhou’s taxation at the Ministry of Household Affairs, otherwise you think I wouldn’t have known about Youzhou’s situation for so many years?”
The more things Zhao Ding did, the more angry Zhao Chongyuan became.
damn thing.
He even hid it from his father!
Xu Tiande smacked his lips.
Fortunately, Zhao must have met such a talkative father as Zhao Chongyuan.
If it were the late emperor.
Ten heads are not enough to chop off.
at the same time.
Youzhou.
In the palace of Prince Yan.
Zhao Ding walked towards the underground of Prince Yan's Mansion.
As a vassal king of a fiefdom, especially a vassal king like Youzhou that is close to the border of an enemy country.
In addition to managing the fiefdom.
There are also many various temptations to deal with enemy countries.
For example, not long ago, he took advantage of the darkness to attack Youzhou.
Entering the dungeon, a sour smell hit your face.
All kinds of cries and howls of ghosts and wolves continued.
"Your Majesty."
Not long after Zhao Ding entered the underground dungeon of Prince Yan's Mansion, a man dressed as a jailer came over, holding a blood-stained whip in his hand.
Behind him was a big man hanging on a shelf, covered in blood.
At this moment, I saw Zhao Ding walking over.
The big man immediately raised his head, looked at Zhao Ding and spat.
Pooh!
A mouthful of old phlegm mixed with blood was spat towards Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding shook his head slightly and easily avoided it.
"Hey, you bastard, you're looking for death!"
Seeing this, the jailer also jumped, and quickly picked up the whip and was about to hit the big man.
"After being caught, it's normal to feel resentful."
Zhao Ding waved his hand and saw the jailer next to him bringing in a stool.
Zhao Ding sat down on it, picked up the cleaned fruit next to him, and took a bite.
He raised his head and looked at the big man with a smile: "Tell me, where are you from, Nanchen or Beiliang? Tell me and let me know."
"Pooh!"
The big man opened his mouth to spit again, but before he could speak.
The jailer next to Zhao Ding punched him.
Several teeth mixed with blood fell out of the big man's mouth.
"A tough person? I like tough people."
Zhao Ding smiled, "I will pull out his teeth one by one, and put some salt in it. Remember to pour one into his mouth for easy disinfection. Do you understand?"
"clear."
The jailer laughed evilly, reached out and took out a red-hot vise from the stove next to him, and slowly walked towards the big man.
"ah!"
A shrill scream.
resounded in this dungeon.
The jailer was very cruel and decisive.
The moment the red-hot vise was inserted into the big man's mouth, a tooth was ripped out.
