Chapter 498 Liuli! This King Regards Money as Dirt!
Latest website:
Jin Chun finally understood.
The root of all problems lies with Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty.
And although Prince Han disliked him very much, he did not dare to do anything to him.
Although Jin Chun was confused, this just gave him an inexplicable confidence.
So in the next few days, Jin Chun was like a fly, buzzing in Zhu Gaoxu's ears.
Zhu Gaoxu finally had no choice but to pull Jin Chun to sit down and prepare to have a good chat with him.
"I say Mr. Jin, His Majesty the Emperor asked you to come over for overt and covert inspections, so go and investigate!"
"Why the hell are you hanging around this king? What's going on?"
"Is it possible that you want me to take the initiative to confess my crime?"
When Guo Zi heard this, he immediately laughed out loud.
This was really the first time he saw the King of Han being defeated.
Facing Jin Chun, an upright and ruthless minister, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, seemed to have no solution at all.
When Jin Chun heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Don't go!"
"Nothing to find out!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Han can rest assured and let me go to investigate. It only proves that His Highness is fully prepared. Even if I go to investigate, it will be nothing more than a useless effort."
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
Oh my god!
You can’t really explain, can you?
Why is this old guy so stubborn, and he has nothing to do with himself?
"Then Mr. Jin, you can go sightseeing and enjoy the sights. As long as you don't bother me, you can go and do whatever you want!"
Zhu Gaoxu almost cried, feeling a real headache for the first time.
This Jin Chun was a direct and ruthless minister, and he also made outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He can be called a wise and good minister.
Zhu Gaoxu had no grudges against him and was not a murderous person, so it was impossible to attack Jin Chun.
Unexpectedly, this old guy was so arrogant that he kept quarreling around him. Who wouldn't be upset by this?
"Master Jin, Master Jin, what do you want to do?"
"I am very busy right now. Could you please do me a favor and stop playing like this?"
No one can stand having a fly next to you all day long, buzzing around you!
Jin Chun took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile: "It's simple. Your Highness just needs to tell me where the two pieces of silver went!"
"A sum of money is stolen from Sun Yu and others' corruption and bribery over the years!"
"The other sum is the three million taels that His Highness the King of Han took away from a tasting event held in Huachun Garden!"
Zhu Gaoxu: "!!!"
hiss!
There is something!
Those fans in Dongchang still have some real skills!
The final transaction volume of this tasting was as high as three million taels, and only a few people knew about it.
As a result, it didn't take long before Zhu Di knew the specific number and sent Jin Chun to investigate the matter!
It seems that I really underestimated Dongchang before, a little too lightly.
We have to ask Nie Xing to investigate and clear out all these Dongchang gossips later!
Although Zhu Gaoxu had a clear conscience, everything he did was for Ming Dynasty.
But this doesn't mean that he is willing to have his every move monitored!
If Zhu Di didn't give that thief a look, he really thought he was afraid of him!
When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu showed a kind smile.
"First, all the money from the tasting event was invested in the construction of the commercial district."
"Old Man Guo is mainly responsible for this matter, and every money spent is accounted for. You can ask Old Man Guo about this!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Chun's expression changed slightly and he subconsciously looked at Guo Zi.
The latter nodded, took out the account book and handed it over.
Jin Chun was also unambiguous, took the account book and started to read it.
He was really shocked. He originally thought that His Highness the King of Han was corrupt and amassed money, but in the end, the money never got through to him, and all the money was used to build the Beiping Business District!
If this is really the case, then it seems that I am a villain in vain.
However, Jin Chun only looked at it for a moment and suddenly became furious.
"King of Han! Are you treating me like a fool?"
"What the hell kind of commercial district is this? Do you need to use colored glaze to build a shopping mall? Just buying colored glaze costs a million taels of silver!"
Outrageous?
How fucking outrageous!
To build a commercial district, how many cars of colored glaze should I buy?
Why are you planning to build a white jade capital on earth?
Before Zhu Gaoxu could speak, Guo Zi explained first.
"Master Jin, you really misunderstood His Highness the King of Han regarding this matter."
"The Daming Shopping Mall in this business district is a top priority, so it must be innovative and attract merchants from all over the world to gather here. Only in this way can it help the business district develop and grow, and be conducive to the implementation of the new tax system..."
"Even so, it's impossible to use Liuli..."
Jin Chun still couldn't understand. Liuli was worth a lot of money. How could it be so wasteful?
"No, no, no, the Han Palace has mastered mature craftsmanship. The one million taels of colored glaze is not only for the shopping mall, but also includes the colored glaze needed to build the Forbidden City in Peking!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Han has given you a cost price. Otherwise, there is so much colored glaze, let alone one million taels. Even if you can't buy it for ten million taels, there is nowhere to buy it!"
Jin Chun: “???”
What?
Cost price?
One million taels is the cost price?
Did the Han Dynasty master the production process of colored glaze?
Zhu Gaoxu curled his lips impatiently.
"Although the construction of the Forbidden City in Peking is a task entrusted to me by the emperor!"
"The master craftsmen in the Han Palace also need wages."
"There are also raw materials for producing colored glaze, as well as processing fees for master craftsmen. These all need to be paid."
"You can't build the Glazed Crystal Palace for the emperor, and let me pay for it from my own pocket, right?"
Upon hearing these complaints, Jin Chun froze on the spot.
If he heard correctly.
What these two people were talking about just now was... building a glazed crystal palace?
Hiss... Are you so wealthy?
Even Jin Chun was a little moved at this moment and asked subconsciously: "Your Highness, King of Han, can you allow me to have a look?"
"Sure, I know you won't give up, let's go!"
Zhu Gaoxu did not hide them, but took Jinchun and Guo Zi directly to the Liulichang of Hanwang Palace.
This Liulichang is located at the foot of Xishan Mountain. On the mountain is the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, and at the foot of the mountain is the Liulichang. It is guarded day and night by the Feixiong Guards. It can be regarded as Zhu Gaoxu's self-interest.
Jin Chun and Guo Zi followed the Han prince to a warehouse.
When they saw the mountains of gorgeous colored glaze with their own eyes, they were completely shocked and speechless. UU reading www.uukanshu.net
These colored glazes are crystal clear, colorful and dazzling.
If you just take a piece and put it outside, it will cause the dignitaries to fight for it. It is an out-and-out precious treasure.
But now, they are like cabbage, casually discarded in this warehouse by Prince Han. Many colored glazes are piled in the corner, covered with a layer of dust.
"This this……"
"What a waste of natural resources!"
Guo Zi felt a little sad and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a puzzled face.
What on earth is this Prince Han thinking?
He produced so much colored glaze, why didn't he sell it on the market?
Just let these treasures worth thousands of gold pile up in the warehouse and eat dust?
"Your Majesty, why not..."
Guo Zi swallowed and asked with some difficulty.
"Sell it?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "Why sell it?"
"These colored glazes are valuable because they are rare. Once so many colored glazes flood into the market, it will only disrupt the normal order of the market."
"What's more, I have always regarded money as dirt. Even if these colored glazes can bring all the Ming Dynasty's silver into the Han Palace, what's the point?"
"Old man Guo, I once told you that the value of goods lies in circulation. Only when gold and silver circulate can it stimulate the development of Ming Dynasty's business."
After a pause, Zhu Gaoxu expressed his true feelings for the first time.
"But these colored glazes are piled up in several warehouses, and some of them are indeed going to be sold."
"But instead of selling it to the people of the Ming Dynasty, we waited until the kings laid new ground and Zheng He once again led his navy to go to sea. He used these colored glazes to exchange for rare treasures from all over the world and help the Ming Dynasty prosper. This is the purpose of my king’s production of them!”
Guo Zi: "!!!"
Jin Chun: “!!!”
