Chapter 197: Keep adding money, Zhu Yuanzhang will become the leader on the list! (Please subscribe!!) "Then people all over the world will think that Your Majesty is the biggest supporter of the 'New City Plan'! They will only be more in awe of Your Majesty!"
Song Lian's words greatly benefited Zhu Yuanzhang.
I love hearing this!
How could the protagonist of such a big thing be Ouyang Lun? It must be me! How can those businessmen compare with me? I will never allow anyone to be more awesome than me in the Ming Dynasty! But, this is 1000 million! In the past, I could use this 1000 million for a year, but now I spend it all like this. It always feels magical, but it also feels inexplicably refreshing. It’s really strange!
gave!
In order to let the people of Ming Dynasty know my strength and ambition, this money must be spent!
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to nod, he noticed that Guo Zi frowned and quickly asked: "Guo Aiqing, what's wrong with you? Is it because the state treasury doesn't have enough money?"
Guo Zi shook his head, "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is abundant, I am thinking about whether we should add more?"
Forehead. Zhu Yuanzhang almost choked and asked softly: "Guo Aiqing, add a little more to what you said. How much?"
"Add another 500 million! A total of 500 million will be allocated to the new city plan!" Guo Zi said loudly, directly raising the allocation to 500 million.
quiet--
As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly quiet.
Li Shanchang, Lu Chang and others were stunned.
Fifteen million!That's a huge amount of money right there.
You can buy almost four 055 large drives.
We can build another coastal defense line.
It can support the expenses for the next year.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, "Guo Aiqing, isn't this little bit too much?"
"Your Majesty, it's not much, it's really not much. I have calculated it in detail!" Guo Zi said quickly.
"You'd better settle things with me, otherwise..." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became more and more gloomy. He even thought that Guo Zi and Ouyang Lun were colluding to get his money!
"Your Majesty, I have calculated that the total investment of more than ten contractors this time is probably between 1000 million and 400 million. According to the rules of Beizhili, if we allocate 500 million, the proportion of investment will be If it exceeds [-]%, we are the largest shareholder. Although we have no decision-making power due to the existence of Ouyang Prince Consort, we can get most of it in the later dividends. The bigger the investment, the more benefits!"
"And it can also tell the world with practical actions that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the Great Wall! Your Majesty is not targeting Ouyang's consort, but fully supports it!"
"In addition, I have already calculated it. Even if I take out these 500 million, it will not affect anything at all. I expect that I can get this money back with interest at the earliest next year or the year after next at the latest. Don't say anything." You can also make twice as much money!”
Uh-huh! ? ?
What the hell? If this money goes out, can it come back, and can it still make money? ? Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry at first, but after hearing Guo Zi's words, his eyes flashed and he almost cried out.
"Guo Zi, can you really make money?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked hurriedly.
It would definitely be heartbreaking to simply give away 500 million, but if the money can be returned in the end, that would be a great thing! "Master Guo, you can't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty! If you don't make any money later, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!" Lu Chang had a good relationship with Guo Zi and quickly reminded him.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu, this is the second and third phase of the new city plan I just told you. According to the plan, after the Great Wall is repaired, the new city will be built. By then, you can make money by selling the houses. How to distribute these, naturally It is based on the proportion of capital contribution, so I just advised your Majesty to increase the allocation, so that the money will be distributed more in the future."
Guo Zi smiled and said: "You can doubt Ouyang's character, but I believe there is no need for me to say more about his ability to make money!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Lu Chang and others were completely enlightened.
"Damn it! Let me tell you why those businessmen are trying to join the new city plan. It turns out that the root is here!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh fiercely, "I have decided. The imperial treasury will allocate 500 million. In addition... from I transferred 500 million from my internal funds, and a total of 2000 million was allocated to Ouyang Lun, asking him to implement the new city plan for me no matter what!"
Ah! More money!
"Yes!" Guo Zi smiled and nodded, "To be honest with Your Majesty, I have also collected 10 taels of silver and plan to send it to Ouyang's consort."
"One hundred thousand? Mr. Guo, you have a lot of money!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Guo Zi with a playful look.
"Your Majesty, my money is clean. It is collected from my own savings and the Guo family members." Guo Zi quickly explained.
"Master Guo, I also want to invest 20. No, I don't want to invest 20. I, Li Shanchang, have some relatives and friends. It's no problem to raise [-]."
"Master Guo, I also want to invest 1 taels."
"I'll put in five thousand!"
Beizhili, Beiping City.
Ouyang Lun sat in a chair in a daze, holding an imperial edict in his hand.
"Zhou Bao, send father-in-law down to rest."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Bao immediately left with a smile and accompanied the eunuch who delivered the order.
"What's going on with Lao Zhu? I still had nothing to lose, and in the blink of an eye, he sent me more than 500 million. Where did he get so much money? This is the rhythm of being number one on the list! Do I still have to write a letter of thanks? Letter, thank you Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang for the reward? Can I dance for you?"
"You're trying to make fun of me, right? That's not right! Even if it's just a joke, there's no need to issue an imperial edict, and it's also telling the world that if you can't get the money, I'm afraid it will become a joke to the entire Ming Dynasty. "
Ouyang Lun thought for a long time and shook his head, "I really can't figure it out, but now I'm more worried about how to use so much money."
"Hey - it's hard to have too much money!"
Just when Ouyang Lun was distressed, officials such as Li Fuyuan, Xu Liang, and Zhao Tianming rushed in excitedly.
"Master Ouyang, we heard that His Majesty the Emperor has just issued a decree to allocate funds to us in Beizhili to build the Great Wall? Although 200 million is not much for us now, it at least represents the intention of the imperial court. It seems that His Majesty also We support us in building the Great Wall and launching the new city plan, so we don’t have to worry now.”
"No, why did I hear that the imperial court's allocation this time was not 200 million, but a full 500 million!"
"My dear, when did the imperial court become so generous? I heard that last year, only 700 million was allocated for the Dongying campaign. It seems that His Majesty really values Mr. Ouyang!"
"Five million? You are too underestimated the determination of the imperial court this time. I have a friend in the Ministry of Household Affairs in the capital, and he told me that this time 500 million will be allocated directly from the national treasury to our Beizhili!"
hiss--
In the hall, the officials all took a deep breath.
"Fifteen million is a mountain of silver!"
"My dear, I was worried about not having enough money before, but now my funds have been doubled!"
"You all heard from hearsay how much money the court paid. The imperial edict in Mr. Ouyang's hand is clearly written. Let's just ask Mr. Ouyang."
"Makes sense!"
Li Fuyuan and others discussed for a while, and finally looked at Ouyang Lun.
"Master Ouyang, tell me quickly, how much money will the court allocate this time?"
Ouyang Lun slowly raised his head and handed out the imperial edict in his hand, "See for yourselves, eh——"
Um! ?
Seeing Ouyang Lun sighing, the officials' hearts twitched. Could it be that the court didn't give money, but something else?
Li Fuyuan took the imperial edict and opened it. After seeing the contents of the imperial edict, he couldn't take a breath and fainted. "Master Li!"
Xu Liang and Zhao Tianming quickly supported Li Fuyuan and opened the imperial edict to read.
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said that the Northern Zhili Chief Secretary's Office will be allocated 570! Two silvers. Oh my God! How can there be so much!!" Xu Liang's hand holding the imperial edict was trembling.
"Master Ouyang, the imperial court has allocated so much, why did you sigh just now?" Zhao Tianming asked curiously.
"According to the new city plan, even in the third phase, the total cost will not exceed 500. Now that the court has directly given so much, the money in our hands exceeds [-] million!!" Ouyang Lun was quite impressed. He said with a headache: "Do you think all this money will be given to us? No. This is an investment, and we will give you the profits later!"
"Not to mention anything else, even if the interest is 4000% a year, we have almost 400 million taels in hand. The interest alone is 1 million taels a year. We have to earn more than [-] taels every day when we open our eyes. !”
"Sorry!"
cough cough.
The officials all looked playful, seeing Qian Duochou for the first time.
“It feels so bad to owe money!”
"Zhao Tianming!"
"The subordinate is here!"
"Go, recruit more workers for me. The more money you have, the more money you have. Then recruit more than twice the number of workers, and I will build the Great Wall and the new city together!"
"Go down and say yes to the people! I have plenty of money. Let them make money hard. The more they earn, the happier I will be. But you have to do what you can. Don't live to earn or spend. In the end, your wife and children will become someone else's." Got it!"
Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Li Fuyuan and others praised Ouyang Lun as a good official! !
He always thinks of the people and makes money together with everyone. No wonder the people support him.
"It's an adult!"
Zhao Tianming patted his chest and said.
"Okay, each of you has already arranged your tasks, so I won't say any more. Remember that we are fighting a battle for prosperity this time. The Great Wall is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty for eternity, and the new city is the future home of the people. Don’t let me slack off at all!”
"If something goes wrong then, don't blame me for turning against you!"
"Please rest assured, sir, I will do my best!"
"Go get busy!"
Ouyang Lun waved his hand, and the officials bowed and left one after another. When they walked out of the Chief Secretary's Yamen, everyone straightened their backs and was high-spirited. All officials knew that the next step was their time to make contributions. As long as they did things well, money would Indispensable, promotion is indispensable, and there is also a place for knighthood!
In the Chief Secretary's Yamen, after all the officials left, Tang He walked in.
"My nephew!"
"Second uncle!"
"Congratulations! Your Majesty has allocated 500 million taels to you. This is the first time in history. When your majesty asked me to build the coastal defense line, he gave me 10 taels and sent me away. Comparing the two figures, I now have some doubts that you are Not his illegitimate son!"
Tang He said with envy.
"Second uncle, please stop teasing me. If I were the illegitimate son of the emperor's father-in-law, then Anqing and I would..."
"Ahem, I didn't think well, but His Majesty is really treating you better than his own son." Tang He said with a smile.
"Second uncle, the reason why my emperor's father-in-law gave him such money was because he wanted me to earn more for him. Now let's not talk about this. Could it be that you came to me because of Miaomiao's affairs?" Ouyang Lun Said somewhat nervously.
Tang He waved his hand and said, "If you are a female college student, I, as a father, can't take care of it. I will trouble you to take care of Miaomiao from now on."
"I came today to do something else."
"Are you short of money for your coastal defense line?"
"No."
"That means you want to go to heaven and earth, and you need me to make arrangements for you!"
"Not at all."
"That is?"
"Let me introduce someone to you!" Tang He said with a smile.
"Introduce me to someone?!" Ouyang Lun looked confused, "Who is it?"
"Third brother, come out quickly and meet our eldest nephew!" Tang He turned to shout outside the house.
Soon, a dark-faced, dignified middle-aged man walked in.
Ouyang Lun immediately felt the evil spirit and majesty of the other party. It was obvious that the other party was a person who had been in a high position all year round. Ouyang Lun also felt this feeling when he met Tang He for the first time, but after the two became familiar with each other, this feeling Just the news.
Just now Tang He called him the third child. Could it be that he is the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, who has the greatest military exploits in the Ming Dynasty?
"Ouyang Lun has met Wei Guogong!"
Ouyang Lun took the initiative to salute to the dark-faced, dignified middle-aged man.
Hearing this, Tang He and Xu Da were a little surprised.
"You and I have never met, why did you recognize me at a glance?" Xu Da asked curiously.
"That's right, is the third nephew so easy to recognize?" Tang He was also very curious.
Ouyang Lun smiled and said, "You can be called the third uncle by your second uncle, and he has the aura of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops. Apart from Wei Guogong, can I find another person in the Ming Dynasty?"
Hearing this, Tang He and Xu Da suddenly realized and smiled.
"Third brother, what do you think? I'll just say Nephew Ouyang Xian is very smart." Tang He said with a smile.
Xu Da rolled his eyes at Tang He and said angrily: "If it weren't for your problem with the title, I wouldn't have been exposed so early."
"Stop." Ouyang Lun saw that the two people in front of him were about to quarrel and said quickly, "Second uncle, if you introduce Wei Guogong to me, there must be something going on. Please tell me quickly, I'm still busy!"
When Tang He heard this, he pouted and said to Xu Da: "You begged me to bring you to see Ouyang Xian Nephew. If you have anything to do, just tell him quickly!"
Xu Da looked at Ouyang Lun, "I heard from Tang He that you can make a battlefield sandbox, and I want to make one for you!"
It turns out that business is coming! Ouyang Lun smiled and said, "So that's what happened! It's easy to say, Wei Guogong can write a demand document for the map sandbox he wants to make, and I will arrange the rest!"
"As for the price, Uncle Tang should have told you, right?"
Xu Da nodded, "As I said, the small map is 10 taels, and the large map is one million taels. I'll give you the small map first."
Ouyang Lun: "Okay!"
"Anything else?"
