C3570 Rent you for seventy years (2/2)

”Wait …” Ci Xi called out to Li Tuo, ”You did such a good job, how can I reward you?”

”Ouch …” Not daring to ask for a reward, the empress dowager was enlightened … This humble subject did not contribute to this matter. Even if the case was exposed, it would still be Manager Li's doing. It was eunuch Sura who brought the case to light with his sharp eyes. This humble subject truly did not contribute … ”

”This humble subject does not dare to seek rewards …” ”I beg the empress dowager to let this humble subject continue working hard …”

At this time, it was the time for the twenty thousand silver to take effect. Li Lianying coughed lightly: ”Old Buddha …” Let Lord Li handle the errands first! ”There are plenty of opportunities to bestow rewards …”

”Besides, His Majesty is about to return to the capital …” There are some positions that His Majesty can bestow upon me personally! But last night I heard from the eunuch, young Sura... Master Li is extremely impressed with Salonga's house, the ancient trees in the garden are so beautiful … ”

After An Dehai died, only Li Lianying was able to be used the most. With just a glance, she was able to convey a lot of confidence, so Empress Dowager Xi knew that there were some things that needed to be said.

”This is good too... Isn't it just a house? ”I'll reward you …”

Ah? Li Tuo was stunned, the price of the house in Beijing was currently at least 80,000 taels of silver, and there was even a price without a market, because no one would be willing to sell such a good house to you!

This is the inner city, the people who live here all say that there are officials of the Manchu and the Eight Banner Palace … If he, a Chinese person, were to live here, what would he do!

Li Tuo quickly kneeled down, ”Ah, Empress Dowager … Dont make it impossible... This humble subject's rank is not high enough, this is a violation of the law! His identity wasn't right either … How can the inner city let me live here? ”

Li Lianying pretended to be angry and said: ”Master Li, don't be so naive, you don't want the official, you don't want the mansion? What identity or not, let's go live there first … If you do not report this to Shuntian Palace for the time being, then it can't be considered as you going against the rules! ”

The Qing dynasty had an ancestor system. From the moment they entered, the inner city of the Beijing did not allow the Han people to live. Even the Chinese ministers were not allowed to live there.

After all, the size of the Southern City was limited. If the rich and powerful Han people of the inner city attacked here, it would cause the poorer Han people to leave the Southern City and live outside of the nine cities.

Until the time of the dryad, there had not been much of a change in the situation. The famous Ji Xiaolan was highly favored, but she could only live near the South City's Pearl City entrance.

On one hand, it was because many of the Eight Flag Aristocratic Families in the inner city had fallen, and were unable to support the old house's expenses.

However, it was inconvenient for the Han people to be too far away from the Forbidden City to handle military affairs. As a result, it became an internal rental market.

The Chinese Officer who had the right to rent a house that belonged to a playboy with eight flags in the inner city would have their rules of not being allowed to stay in the Chinese Officer loosen!

But as long as it was loose, Ci Xi would reward him directly! Wasn't this setting Li Tuo on fire? It was even scarier than sealing his son.

”How about this... Your Majesty... This house should still be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs s … This humble subject will spend some silver to rent it! ”The empress dowager would be grateful if she could give this subject a discount …”

”Haha …” A monkey cub is really smart... Also... When you return and pay a hundred silver coins to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will rent it to you for seventy years … ”How about it?”

”Ouch …” Long live Old Buddha! ”

Alright, since there were no outsiders in Yangxin Palace, Li Tuo decided to kowtow and shout ”Long live”, causing Ci Xi to burst out laughing!
