Chapter 377 (1/2)
The emperor turned over the account book and frowned.
”Why only 2.85 million taels?”
The emperor is dissatisfied. Is it possible that some people are so bold that they dare to bid for the money of the meeting?
Chen Dachang reacted in an instant and said, ”I'd like to inform your majesty that according to the agreement, Madame Zhao will take half of the silver as the labor expenses.”
The emperor was stunned and thought carefully. It was such a thing.
”She is not polite at all. She took her share before the silver was put into the warehouse. Hum
At the thought of Gu Jiu taking away more than 100000 taels of white silver, the son of heaven was a little upset.
Of course, he is a man of his word.
At the beginning, he promised Gu Jiu that she would take half a percent as hard work expenses, and he would certainly not go back on his account.
The emperor carefully pondered this matter, always felt that he had entered Gu Jiu's pit.
Half of the cost of hard work seems not much.
However, when the total amount reaches 3 million taels, half of them will be 150000 taels.
That's a lot.
The emperor snorted coldly, ”she is shrewd and fierce, all calculate to my head.”
Chen Dachang did not dare to answer.
Then, the emperor said, ”I heard that Yuhua lane is finished, and I will soon pay for it.”
”Exactly.”
”Who put money into Gu Jiu
Chen Dachang had already prepared, took out a list from his sleeve and put it in front of the emperor.
It's not a secret who invested how much money for Gu Jiu. It takes a little bit of work to find out.
The emperor looked at a long list, which was basically Gu Jiu's relatives, friends, friends and so on.
In the palace, only Ouyang Fu was alone.
The emperor laughed, ”it seems that Gu Jiu's popularity in the palace is not so good!”
Chen Dachang said with a smile: ”I heard that Madame Zhao had a strong temperament and was not very tolerant.”
”No wonder she's not pregnant yet. Liu Zhao doesn't dare to take a concubine. This grandson of mine was eaten to death by Gu Jiu. It's really humiliating that my husband Gang is not very well. ”
Chen Dachang laughed. No, Liu Zhao is a typical example of Fu Gang's weakness.
”Your Majesty, do you want to give two beauties to the prince?”
The emperor waved his hand, ”no, let them toss about by themselves. I also expect Gu Jiu to make money for me. ”
Because you want to rely on Gu Jiu to make money, so don't add to Gu Jiu. The emperor obviously loves money more than his grandson.
In front of money, Liu Zhao should also stand aside.
Chen Dachang said with a smile: ”I heard that Madame Zhao bought all the land outside the south gate. This alone will bring in tens of thousands of Liang. ”
”How about tens of thousands of taels of land outside the south gate? It's a bargain. ”
The Emperor didn't like it.
How can land be sold at a low price. And still sold to Gu Jiu at a low price.
Gu Jiu is a fortune boy.
Tens of thousands of taels of land fall into her hands, at least can change tens of thousands of taels.
”Your Majesty does not know that there are tens of thousands of refugees living outside the south gate. It is a place that no one wants to set foot on. When Madame Zhao bought it, many people said that she would lose money this time. ”
The emperor frowned, ”can she lose money?”
The Emperor didn't believe it.
”Go and call the young master's order. I will ask him well.”
For the emperor, paying attention to Gu Jiu's business has become an entertainment.
I'm tired of dealing with political affairs. If you ask Gu Jiu about his recent situation, you can always get pleasure and feel comfortable.
Gu Jiu seems to be the adjustment of the emperor's life.
The family order of Shaofu rushed into the palace and rushed to Xingqing palace to face the saint.
He carefully observed the son of heaven's face. It seemed that he was in a good mood. The young master's official secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
”I heard that Gu Jiu bought the land outside the South Gate of the city from the Shaofu. Is it serious?” he asked
”It's true.” The young master bowed down to answer.
The emperor asked, ”as far as I know, there are tens of thousands of refugees living outside the gate of Nancheng. How can Gu Jiu make money when she buys the land outside the gate of Nancheng?”
”I don't know.” The commander of the young master was trembling.
The emperor was upset. ”She bought the land from you, didn't you ask?”
”The young master made his forehead sweat,” he asked, but she didn't say. Let me wait and see. ”
The emperor snorted, ”did she say how to deal with the refugees outside the city?”
”I didn't say that.”
I don't know the mood.
”Tell me what she said to me, and you will agree to sell her the land outside the South Gate of the city?”
After a moment's deliberation, the magistrate said, ”Madame Zhao said that she could take care of the refugees outside the gate of Nancheng.”
”No more?”
”She said she couldn't do anything else. She didn't lose money in business.””Ha ha...”
”The emperor burst out laughing,” she is not small tone
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the young master took the opportunity to bring up another matter, ”to your majesty, there is a matter about the imperial edict lady that needs your Majesty's ruling.”
The emperor was in a good mood and said, ”come and listen.”
”Madame Zhao wants to buy the population of Beirong and Xiliang through the Shaofu, and the prisoners are the first.”
The emperor heard the speech and frowned, ”what does she buy population for?”
The family order of the Shaofu did not dare to hide it. ”Some time ago, Madame Zhao bought a lot of landless lands and mines in the south, which required a lot of labor. The local labor force is not enough, so I want to buy people from Beirong Xiliang.
Wei Chen thought, this is also good for the country and the people. Beirong and Xiliang have a small population. Buying a population will weaken their strength. This is a matter of great importance. I dare not make up my mind, so please make a ruling. ”
The son of heaven said, ”she would toss around and quietly go to the south to buy land and mines. Has her business been taxed? ”
The magistrate nodded, ”every business is taxed in full. This is the list of taxes on the property under the name of the imperial edict collected by Wei Chen. Please have a look at it. ”
Chen Dachang took the list and put it in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked through the pages carefully.
The home of the young master was very happy.
Why did he prepare the tax list in advance, not because he guessed what the emperor would ask, but because Gu Jiu reminded him in advance.
Gu Jiu has mentioned two words in private: the son of heaven is suspicious and pays attention to profits. The Shao Fu is in charge of the emperor's private Treasury. Only by putting every income and expenditure in front of the emperor can we trust him.
This sentence was heard by the young master.
From then on, every account of the Shao Fu was clear and could stand inspection at any time.
Considering that he and Gu Jiu have more money contacts, and the emperor is more concerned about Gu Jiu's situation, he also made a tax list of Gu Jiu.
According to the unwritten tradition, the business of official families and royal families is not taxed.
Although there is no written provision in the law, everyone does.
The Shaofu and Hubu will not go after it.
Gu Jiu is different. She does the opposite.
She paid taxes according to the rules.
She will pay as much tax as the law requires, and she will never lose a cent.
She is determined to be a rich woman and create a business empire.
If she didn't pay taxes from the beginning, when the business scale under her name was so large that people could not help her, the whole world would regard her as a foe, and the imperial court would beat her up and down.
At that time, every penny in her hand will have original sin.
Perhaps the emperor, on the pretext that she did not pay taxes, and fought for profits with the people, would confiscate her property with an imperial edict.
There was no place for her to cry.
Look at this situation, the real crisis came earlier than Gu Jiu expected.
Her business, by her standards, is not large enough. It's just a little fuss.
But even so, it has attracted so many people's attention, and also caused the attention of the emperor.
She had a sentence about MMP that she didn't know to say.
Fortunately, she was on guard. From the beginning of her small pearl flower business, she had been paying taxes in accordance with the law.
