Chapter 13 Donation of 1 Silver
Chapter 13 Donation of 1 Silver
In the evening, after Yuanman coaxed Yuanbao to sleep, he called Yuanyi, told him his plan, and asked him to go to Kyoto to find the prince.
After receiving the order, Yuan Yi called the other nine secret guards together and discussed it. After some discussion, Yuan Wu was replaced by his master, and then another person was assigned to go to Kyoto with him.
After all, he had one million taels of silver with him and he couldn't afford to lose it.
Yuanman rested at home for three days and then went to Xiaocheng.
This time she did not enter the city openly, but sneaked into the city at night to find Ye Shan.
When Ye Shan saw her, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Boss, your house has been taken back. You can move in anytime. Here are the keys and the title deed."
"As for what you asked me to do last time, I have only been to Shangqing Pavilion in Lianzhou City and Kyoto City."
"The shopkeeper of Shangqing Pavilion in Lianzhou City is very cooperative and there is no problem with the account."
"The shopkeeper of Shangqing Pavilion in Kyoto embezzled 4,900 taels. Now 2,400 taels have been recovered and handed over to the government."
"I have collected the profits as you instructed, a total of thirty-four thousand taels."
Yuan Man nodded, very satisfied with his ability, "Very good, for the rest that cannot be recovered, let him use his property and other things to pay for it. If he can't get it back from me, he can just go to jail for a few years."
It's not easy for her to make money.
"Yes." Ye Shan lowered his eyes and responded.
Yuan Man continued, "You hire a new manager that you can trust, and you can be transferred to Kyoto to manage the Shangqing Pavilion."
"Then recruit a trustworthy deputy manager from Shangqing Pavilion in Kyoto to help you manage the store in Kyoto while you check the accounts."
"Yes." Ye Shan showed joy on his face and nodded quickly in agreement.
It is not far from Xiaocheng to Kyoto, but who doesn’t want to live in Kyoto? It is the imperial city.
"I have another task for you to do. Donate 100,000 kilograms of coarse grain to the crown prince. Remember, donate in the name of Shangqing Pavilion."
"You have to hand it over to the prince in person. If the prince asks who the owner of Shangqing Pavilion is, just say it's Jubao Tower."
Ye Shan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, "You said you want to donate 100,000 kilograms of food to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
One hundred thousand kilograms is something you can’t buy even if you have money nowadays.
"Well, what's the problem?" Yuan Man looked at him.
Ye Shan immediately shook his head, "No, no, I just admire your kindness."
"Don't worry, Boss. I will definitely take care of this matter for you and won't let you down."
"Very good. I'll inform you where the grain is after I confirm it. You should go to Kyoto to take over it as soon as possible." Yuan Man said, took the silver note and left.
As soon as I walked out of Shangqing Pavilion, the system sent me a task.
[Ding, next check-in point, the outskirts of Jin'an City. ]
Yuan Man frowned as he looked at the check-in point. "The suburbs of Jin'an City! This is too general."
Jin'an City is located in the north of Xiaocheng. The northwest direction leads to Kyoto, while the northeast direction leads to Jin'an City, which is also a county town under the jurisdiction of Xiaocheng.
It’s not big, but it’s not small either. As long as it’s outside Jin’an City, it’s considered the suburbs.
"Brother System, don't you have a rough direction?"
[…The check-in point is random…]
Yuan Man sighed, unable to resist, he could only accept his fate.
After thinking about it, he didn’t go back first, but went directly to Jin’an City.
Look for it first. She has had good luck since she came here.
Kyoto Imperial Palace.
"Your Highness, there is a young man outside who wants to see you. He said that Jubao Tower has something to discuss with you."
The anxious prince, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his eyes and looked at Ling Feng, "Are you sure it's someone from Jubao Tower?"
Ling Feng nodded, "He claims to be from Jubao Tower, and is waiting for you in Qunying Pavilion."
The prince lowered his head and continued to look at the memorial in his hand, "Did he say what it was about?"
Ling Feng paused before saying, "It's a major event in the world."
The prince paused holding the pen, "What's happening in the world?"
"Yes, and he also told the owner of the Hall of Heroes to make sure to notify you, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself." Ling Feng felt that this person was quite arrogant.
This Jubao Tower is really bold, daring to talk about the world.
How can a commoner like me discuss world affairs with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
The prince frowned slightly. This Jubao Tower was too mysterious, and the thousand acres of rice they had in their hands was exactly what he needed.
"Go and have a look."
Nowadays, having money is useless, you need food.
Yuan Yi sat in a private room in the Hall of Heroes, watching people coming and going outside.
Yuan Qi was guarding the silver outside the city.
When the prince saw Yuan Yi, his brows moved slightly. This man was very powerful.
This realization made him even more curious about Jubao Tower, but also more wary of it.
Yuan Yi stood up when he saw him come in, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince nodded slightly and sat down opposite him, "The owner of Jubao Tower?"
"No, I am just following orders and coming to deliver something to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the people of Huiguo."
"Oh, are you sending things to this prince and the people of Huiguo?" The prince raised his eyes slightly and looked at him, his heart slightly moved.
"I wonder what good stuff it is?"
Yuan Yi took out the river engineering blueprints and asked, "Your Highness, do you know that after a severe drought there will be severe floods?"
The prince looked at him fiercely, then moved his gaze to the piece of paper in his hand, "So, does Jubaolou have any good plan to deal with the flood later?"
Yuan Yi spread the blueprints on the table and said, "Build a river channel and divert water into the river."
"My master said that if we expedite construction now, it should be completed before the flood, which can prevent the river from bursting its banks and mountain torrents from entering the village."
"Master knows that Huiguo may not be able to afford it now, so he donated one million taels of silver to Your Majesty for river construction."
The prince stood up quickly, looked at him and asked, "Really?"
"What is your master's purpose?"
Ling Feng immediately came to stand beside him, looking at Yuan Yi vigilantly.
Yuan Yi looked at them calmly with a calm face and said coldly: "Her purpose is for the common people, what else could it be?"
"What does your highness think it is?"
The prince looked at the drawings on the table. The contents carved on them were very detailed. It was not easy to come up with this, not to mention that they also took out one million taels of silver, which was donated free of charge. It was hard for him not to think too much.
One million taels. Now the entire national treasury can't even take out half of it. But they said take it and they took it.
This treasure house is both respectable and awe-inspiring.
The prince sat down and said, "It's my fault. Jubao Tower is for the country and the people. I am narrow-minded."
Yuan pointed at the blueprint and said, "My master hopes that her money can be put to good use, rather than flowing into the pockets of good-for-nothings."
The prince nodded and assured, "Of course, I will follow up personally, please rest assured, OP."
Thinking of the one thousand acres of rice seeds, he looked at Yuan Yi and asked, "Does Jubao Tower still have rice seeds?"
"If there is no rice seed, wheat seed and bean seed will do."
"Can you give priority to selling the thousand acres of rice outside Qingfeng City to this prince after the harvest?"
Yuan Yi glanced at him, thought for a moment and said, "I need to go back and report to my master before I can reply to you."
"Okay, if you have any, please let me know as soon as possible." Otherwise the planting season will be over.
Yuan Yi nodded, "One million taels of silver is just outside the city, Prince, send someone to come with me to get it."
The prince was stunned for a moment, "You brought the silver here?"
It’s still outside the city!
"Otherwise it will be troublesome to walk back and forth." Yuan Yi said and walked out.
