Chapter 606 Dragon Heads Up (1)(2/2)
Cao Yong waved his hand: "No need to ask someone to send it away. He has already agreed with Master Sixteen to make a reservation directly from the restaurant."
When we arrived at Lanyuan, Cao Yin was already waiting.
Seeing his son come in, he thought for a while and asked, "Are you ready? You have to know what you want to do, this is not a playhouse."
"Don't worry, Father, everything is ready, so I'll wait for noon to bid for the bid." Cao Yong replied with a smile as he thought about dozens of merchants who had signed up for yesterday afternoon.
Cao Yin nodded, and the father and son left the inner courtyard and headed to the yamen together.
Because the weather was sunny, Cao Yin did not sit in a sedan chair, but also rode a horse and walked side by side with his son.
People on the street wear new clothes, and some even have golden characters on their foreheads, which will bring good luck.
The white magnolia flowers are already proudly on the branches, and the willow trees by the river are also secretly green. The capital in early spring is full of vitality everywhere.
If it weren't for digging trenches everywhere in the city and the stench in the air affected his mood, Cao Yong would have really wanted to ask his father to write a poem.
Cao Yin was not as relaxed as Cao Yong, and his son was now being roasted on the fire.
Even if he was loyal to the emperor and patriotism for his whole life, he would still inevitably feel a little complaining about Kangxi.
If Cao Yong did this job well, he would offend the powerful and powerful people in the capital led by the Ninth Prince; if he didn't do well, he would offend an emperor who was "extraordinary promotion". The political achievements he had earned diligently before would not be able to withstand this failure.
It’s really like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, he is not a human inside or outside.
My son is only twenty-three years old during the Chinese New Year, so he has to shoulder such a burden.
In front of Cao Yin, he remembered the weak look of his son lying on the bed when he was abducted when he was young.
If you survive a great disaster, will you have good fortune?
When the old lady spoiled her eldest grandson, Cao Yin was afraid that her son would be spoiled and had no future, right?
Now, looking back on these fifteen or sixteen years, my son seems to be reborn...
After a while, when he arrived at Mi Lane, Dongjiang, Cao Yong blocked the reins of the horse and said with a little hesitation: "Father, I heard that several adults from the Ministry of Rites are coming to the venue to observe, Father, you..."
Cao Yin coughed and said, "I have been with Lord He for my father. Lord Chen has agreed to go to you today to see this...the Ministry of Internal Affairs Procurement."
Lord He is the Minister of the Manchus of the Ministry of Rites He Shuoji, and Lord Chen is the Minister of the Han Dynasty Chen Shuo.
Cao Yong looked at his father and felt warm.
These days, my father will be worried.
I don’t know if it’s because of age. Cao Yin has been much gentler in recent years, and the father and son are no longer as speechless as before.
Cao Yin was embarrassed by his son's eyes, waved his hand and said, "Shi Chen will not leave anymore. I will go to the yamen for my father, so you will not delay." As he said that, he had already lifted the reins of the horse and took the eldest son to the yamen for the rituals.
Cao Yong watched his father go away, looked up at the morning glow in the sky, and a smile appeared on his face.
Government procurement, no, the Ministry of Internal Affairs procurement is today.
If it is handled properly, it is impossible to explain it in the future, and you can also introduce other methods from later generations.
What if people saw this record in books and classics hundreds of years later?
How will this world change due to his arrival?
Warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, bidding venue.
Yiduli was holding the merchant registration booklet in his hand and had already grown up his mouth.
When he left the yamen yesterday afternoon, there were only forty companies. After half an hour of getting up early, more than thirty companies increased. And looking at the trend of queuing up to pay the deposit, there are at least dozens of companies.
In addition to the merchants who have to pay a bidding deposit when entering the venue, Cao Yong saw a businessman mentioning that he wanted to bring his nephews to the venue to see the world, so he placed two hundred chairs behind the venue to provide the needs of the merchants' family.
The cost of this chair is 500 taels of silver, which is called "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, donating military funds in the northwest".
Now most of the two hundred silvers have been ordered.
This item alone can earn at least 100,000 taels of silver.
The pen style responsible for bookkeeping was already swinging and he was so busy that he had no time to stop. He was a concubine of the Dong family, and he was Su Xin's cousin.
Previously, the children of Dong Shang's family had quite complaints about Cao Yong's entry into the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Especially Su Xin's entry into the Cao family to serve, many young children of the Dong Shang family were uncomfortable.
They also came from the Coat, but the old lady of Sun family protected the emperor, which made the Cao family prosperous.
This post originally thought that Cao Yong's high position was due to the family's family's family's so-called "tea boy" and "shancai boy" were just a rumor spread by the world, which added icing on the cake.
Now, he couldn't help but feel convinced.
Others don't know, he knows it.
Yesterday I heard that a merchant wanted to bring his nephew into the venue, but the other adults opposed it. After all, it was related to the face of the court. Cao Yong raised his hand and pointed to the venue behind and said, "Suppose two hundred seats, and prepare one hundred more chairs. One seat is worth 500 taels of silver!"
In less than half a day, 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver were earned.
Although you can't say that you can turn stones into gold, you can earn this money by just talking casually. How many people can there be in the world?
Not to mention that the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have different thoughts, even the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have their own hearts.
Ma Qi was relieved when he looked at the queue lined up outside the door to pay the deposit.
Finally, I didn't deliver a letter to the Eighth Prince in vain. I think the Eighth Prince has already persuaded the Ninth Prince not to make trouble for Cao Yong at this time.
Since the 50th year of Kangxi, natural disasters have continued to occur, and there are many troubles every year, and the most this year.
Now, not only will the Northwest War begin, but the inner court is not stable.
According to the news from the imperial court, the Shengjiao was somewhat inappropriate after the New Year, so he stayed in Tangquan until now and has not returned to Changchun Garden.
In addition, although there were a few snowfalls last winter, the snow was not heavy. According to the predictions of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, there is a severe drought in the capital this spring.
If there are too many things and the treasury is less, the emperor will naturally have to worry.
A good woman can't cook without rice. Even if she is the king of a country, she will have times of difficulty.
If the Ninth Prince makes a fuss at this time, he will probably cause trouble and make Long Yan furious. For the Eighth Prince who has been neglected, it will undoubtedly be a worse injury.
To this day, Ma Qi still believes that among all the princes, the eighth prince is the most appropriate candidate for the crown prince.
But there is no other day, and now he ascended the throne by himself. His holy heart is used to being arbitrary and cannot tolerate the crown prince. Therefore, he has the "two deposed princes" and does not set up the Eastern Palace after the deposed prince.
The emperor is getting older. Even if he doesn't admit it, it will be sunset and there will always be a time for the crown prince to be established.
Although the Eighth Prince was idle and had his money and food stopped, his reputation was still there.
At present, what he can do is to be patient, rather than add to his own fault.
If the Ninth Prince's arrogance is liquidated, it will be counted on the Eighth Prince. In that case, it will only make the emperor more disgusted.
So, Ma Qi couldn't help but send his confidant to the Eighth Prince's Mansion and asked him to persuade the Ninth Prince.
Fortunately, the Ninth Prince was willing to listen to the eighth Prince's advice and no longer blocked the bidding. Otherwise, the filming would be a failure today. If the emperor pursued it, no one would have a good result...
When Cao Yong arrived outside the venue, he felt a lot more confident when he saw the merchants queuing up.
The minimum deposit is 3,000 taels, and the maximum deposit is 300,000 taels, a hundred times difference.
The deposit I put into the warehouse yesterday was more than 400,000 taels, and each company would be 10,000 taels on average.
This silver has been listed in the contract for paying the deposit. If the bid is won, the silver will be used as the bid; if the bid is not won, the silver will be converted into a treasury bond and will be included in the treasury bond and will be used for use by the court for three years without compensation.
At the same time, in order to reward merchants' patriotism, they will be exempted from relevant taxes within three years.
In this way, there is really no entry or exit, and this time it is destined to be a profitable act.
It’s hard to say anything else, the Sino-Mongolia tea ceremony, Sino-Russia trade, and the supply of foreign goods from Guangzhou Internal Affairs Office, each of these trade routes is worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels.
Cao Yong's estimated income for this bid is three million.
The three-year agreement was completed by one-third, and Kangxi also explained it.
Besides, these three millions are a huge income for the inner warehouse.
Bidding not only makes money quickly now. According to the relevant contracts, the future income will also be the income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and another income will be made.
In addition to this, you also have to think of other ways to make money before you can fulfill the three-year agreement.
Cao Yong also heard the wind when something was inappropriate to the holy body.
Calculate the days, six years left before the 61st year of Kangxi. It is not a good feeling to know the death of an emperor.
Cao Yong often reminds himself not to be too involved.
The one on the dragon throne is an emperor, not the so-called elder or the old man worthy of sympathy. The emperor is an emperor.
He thought to himself, his eyes swept into the crowd, but saw a familiar figure.
Although the man deliberately wore a thick vest and a hat with a brow, Cao Yong still recognized it.
Even if you are really curious, how can this be a joke?
Chapter completed!
