"Repairing the three halls is a matter of great importance, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry cannot take on such an important task."
Gu Jiu was wronged.
Who did she provoke, and what kind of bad luck did she have, that the emperor looked at her differently.
She doesn't expect others to look at her differently, okay
She is happy to be a low-key person, make money in a low-key way, and become a rich woman who is not short of money in a low-key way.
"Make bricks without straw."
The Son of Heaven didn't hold back, so he simply told Gu Jiu clearly.
If he doesn't make it clear, he's sure that Gu Jiu will always play dumb and show no fear.
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry naturally has to take on important responsibilities, but the Ministry of Industry has no money, and the Ministry of Households has no money. What do you say?"
Gu Jiu's eyeballs rolled around, she looked at King Ning.
King Ning was helpless.
If he had a way to make money, he wouldn't have been in such a mess last year because the household department cleared up the deficit.
Gu Jiu glanced at Princess Huyang again, forget it, Princess Huyang still relies on her to save her.
Finally, her eyes turned to Concubine Xiao Shu.
Concubine Xiao Shu didn't respond to her.
Gu Jiu sighed, her character is not good, and no one rescued her.
Gu Jiu could only say weakly: "I heard that the Shaofu is rich."
The emperor laughed angrily, and after laughing, his face darkened, "The Shaofu's money is used in other ways."
Gu Jiu asked cautiously, "I wonder how much the Ministry of Accounts can pay?"
The Son of Heaven snorted, "The Household Department doesn't have a penny. The Shaofu reluctantly paid 300,000 taels."
Only three hundred thousand taels.
But it's not too small, enough start-up capital, and you can earn a little bit after calculation.
Of course, Gu Jiu would not say what was in his heart.
She bowed and said, "It's only three hundred thousand taels, which is really a little less. Granddaughter-in-law can't think about it, please forgive me."
"It's really impossible?" The emperor stared at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu nodded sincerely, "My grandson-in-law is just a housewife with no skills, so I really can't think of any way to make up for the shortfall of 1.7 million taels."
The emperor smiled, "I will give you time, when you think of it, and when you will report it to me."
Gu Jiu wanted to cry but had no tears.
To solve the shortfall of 1.7 million taels, she has a hundred ways. To make money by repairing the palace, she has at least fifty ways. But she can't enter the pit.
Because there is a huge black hole ahead.
If she jumped into this pit, she would be sucked into that huge black hole.
Just wait and see, when she repairs the three main halls, believe it or not, there are still four and five main halls waiting for her.
At that time, she will make a fortune and become rich. Hard work, in the end all work for the emperor.
Gu Jiu felt wronged and said, "My daughter-in-law really can't think of a way."
The emperor refused to let her go easily, "Don't worry, just think about it slowly. I have confidence in you."
"But my daughter-in-law has no confidence in herself."
"No problem! I believe you will have confidence sooner or later."
For the sake of this, what else can Gu Jiu say.
Let her cry for a while, okay
The Son of Heaven said to King Ning again: "After you go back, reflect on yourself, and don't make things difficult for Gu Jiu."
King Ning bowed and said yes, it was rare for him to be honest.
The emperor had been busy all day and was tired. He waved his hand and sent everyone out.
Gu Jiu walked at the end.
It was clearly the midsummer season, but her mood was as if the autumn wind was bleak, and the cold winter was coming.
After everyone left, Tianzi and Chen Dachang complained: "Gu Jiu is dishonest, if you don't suppress her, she won't do anything."
"What Your Majesty said is true. The old slave is also very curious about how Mrs. Zhao can solve the shortfall of 1.7 million taels."
The emperor laughed, "You don't know her ability, but I know it very well. From the beginning to the end, Gu Jiu bought Yuhua Lane without paying a penny. Even the two hundred thousand taels borrowed from the Shaofu was paid by her. It was obtained by deceiving the Shaofu's family order.
She took other people's money to transform Yuhua Lane. In the end, she made money, and most of it fell into her pocket. Do you think she is great? She is simply an empty-handed white wolf.
The deficit of 1.7 million taels for repairing the three main halls may seem like a lot, but I believe in Gu Jiu's ability. Not only can she solve the shortfall, maybe she can also make money from it. "
Chen Dachang was surprised, "I really didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to be a lucky boy."
"Ha ha… "
The Son of Heaven laughed loudly, "That's right, Gu Jiu is the lucky boy. As a lucky boy, she can't just be placed in the palace to attract money for the palace. It's time to come out and attract money for me.
The idea she gave to the Shaofu family order is very good. Shaofu entered the loan market and took the opportunity to accommodate veterans, saving a lot of expenses for the Ministry of War. The Shaofu can make money from this, and it can also suppress private usury and relieve the crisis of people's livelihood. This matter serves multiple purposes, and her ability can be regarded as a trick. "
The so-called plan is the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.
The household department has to deal with money and food every day, how to live within its means, how to increase income and reduce expenditure, the position of the household department minister has been a test of personal ability since ancient times.
However, since ancient times, most of the household ministers have mediocre talents.
Only throttling, not open source. Calling him open source, he only knows to increase taxes for ordinary people.
If there are too many taxes, the ordinary people will be overwhelmed, and there will be big problems.
The emperor is very dissatisfied with the current household minister, but he has not been able to find a suitable replacement.
Gu Jiu's advice to the Shaofu opened another window for the emperor.
To increase the income of the imperial court and the emperor's small treasury, it is not necessary to pass taxes. Business means are the same.
The Son of Heaven asked Chen Dachang, "Gu Jiu's father is called Gu..."
"Report to Your Majesty, Gu Zhili is the right servant of the Household Department."
The emperor nodded, he really didn't have a deep impression of Mr. Gu.
Just because Mr. Gu is also an official with mediocre ability.
The Son of Heaven said: "Take out Gu Zhili's file, I want to have a look at it."
Chen Dachang bowed and said yes.
He knew very well that because of Gu Jiu's talent, the emperor became interested in Master Gu. Think that like a daughter, like a father. Gu Jiu is so good at making money, the emperor thought that Mr. Gu would also make money.
Chen Dachang smiled, His Majesty will definitely be disappointed.
A daughter does not necessarily have a father.
Mr. Gu is good at collecting money. Ask him to make money, but find the wrong person.
…
Gu Jiu followed everyone to the Changchun Palace.
Concubine Xiao Shu sat on the Arhat couch and asked Gu Jiu, "The Yuhua Lane you built, can you really make money?"
Gu Jiu was very modest, "I can earn a little bit."
Princess Huyang added, "It will definitely make money. Gu Jiu has guaranteed that he will give me the money with interest at the end of the year."
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, and he secretly complained about Huyang Princess and his teammates.
Concubine Xiao Shu said expressionlessly: "As the eldest daughter-in-law of the palace, don't patronize making money. Is the palace short of your flowers? Look at how much trouble there is today. Almost, Huyang and the prince will I was implicated by you.
Do you really think the Li family is so easy to deal with? If you, a woman in the inner house, can beat the Li family to the ground, what do you want the civil and military officials in the court to do? "
Gu Jiu said weakly: "Your Majesty taught me the lesson. My daughter-in-law must keep a low profile in the future and not cause trouble."
The premise is that others don't provoke her, and she will definitely not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Who told the Li family to play tricks. To compete, everyone is aboveboard and competes on the basis of ability. Play some dirty tricks, who else will you beat if you don't hit the Li family
It is to frighten the Li family, so that they will not dare to reach out at will in the future.
Gu Jiu is a typical example of actively admitting mistakes and never repenting.
Concubine Xiao Shu said again: "The most important thing for you now is to give birth to a son as soon as possible. You and Liu Zhao have been married for two years, and your stomach hasn't moved yet, is it plausible? Even Ouyang Fu is pregnant, so you don't worry at all. I'm too busy making money every day, it's not proper."
Gu Jiu weakly said yes.
She complained in her heart, Liu Zhao is a poor man, and she needs money to support him. If she doesn't work hard to make money, she can rely on the small income of the dowry shop Zhuangzi a year and drink the northwest wind.
Especially in a place with a high standard of consumption like Wangfu, spending money is faster than making money.
And raising children costs money.
Look at Ouyang Fu, her belly is not yet showing, she is already busy preparing all kinds of clothes for the child. The money was spent like water.
Don't talk about rewards from the elders.
When will a small family be able to rely on the rewards of the elders to live worry-free
dream.
Rewards from elders are always a drop in the bucket. There is also a certain amount of money in the public office, and you can't use it as you want, after all, there is no separation.
What to do with the extra expenses, I can only spend my own money.
If you don't want to find a way to open source, no amount of private money will be enough.
Gu Jiu secretly complained in the depths of his heart, but on the surface he still had to act remorseful, and sincerely listened to Concubine Xiao Shu's teachings.
King Ning laughed, "Concubine Mother, don't talk about her. If she has the ability to make money, let her make it. My son wants to hand over the property of the palace to her. Maybe there will be a surplus every year. My son racked his brains to get money everywhere."
Concubine Xiao Shu glanced at King Ning, "Ridiculous! How can such a huge palace be handed over to young people at will. Even if you are willing, can Mrs. Pei agree?"
King Ning said indifferently: "Then let Gu Jiu take care of a small part first. If it is really effective, let her take care of it a little more in the future."
Gu Jiu hurriedly said: "My father loves you so much, but my daughter-in-law is not capable enough, I'm afraid I will disappoint my father."
King Ning looked at her with a half-smile, "Boss daughter-in-law, you are also a member of the palace. Since you have a way to make money, can you really watch the palace eat enough food and fight famine every year?"
Gu Jiu smiled awkwardly, "My father thinks highly of my daughter-in-law's ability, and my daughter-in-law is really not as capable as my father thinks."
King Ning said: "Whether you are really capable or not, this king has eyes, he can see and make his own judgment. That's enough, this matter is settled like this. After returning, this king will personally discuss with the princess and take part of the property Come out and hand it over to you. It’s already halfway through this year, wait for next year to see the results.”
Beep!
Gu Jiu wanted to refuse.
Now she only wants to enrich her small coffers and earn a lot of money from her private house. She really doesn't want to distract her energy from managing the property of the prince's family.
Because once she takes over the management, it will be another storm.
The original people will definitely abolish some, suppress some, and support some. Even the business model may change.
In this way, it is inevitable that someone will complain to the princess and prince.
At that time, there will be another chicken feather.
It's really not as good as she built her own business empire from scratch.
She has the final say on everything in her territory. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense, just fire it.
But seeing what King Ning meant, she couldn't refuse this time.
Forget it, if you really want her to take care of the property of the palace, it is tantamount to giving her authority.
She wants money and power.
As long as she has enough rights and suffers a little grievance, she will bear it.
…
When leaving the palace, Princess Huyang grabbed Gu Jiu.
"The matter is done, the money is gone, eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Auntie thinks I'm someone who crosses rivers and destroys bridges?"
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu directly took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom, "Auntie turned the tide today and beat Li Dalang so hard that Li Dalang couldn't find him. My nephew and daughter-in-law are very impressed. Auntie has worked hard, please accept this little money, don't be too little .”
Princess Huyang stared at the bank note in Gu Jiu's hand, looked at the thickness, and estimated it to be two thousand taels.
She smiled happily, "I knew you were a person who kept your promises. I am very comfortable today, and I haven't been so happy for a long time. Next time, if there are still people who are not open-eyed, don't be polite to me, nephew and daughter-in-law. As long as the money is in place, I will take care of those blind people for you."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you aunt for your righteousness. Don't worry, aunt, we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
The owner of Huyang County took the silver ticket and got on the carriage contentedly.
Her boring life seemed to be suddenly brightened by Gu Jiu, and she found a new joy.
Thinking of the glorious action of beating Li Dalang in the Shaofu Yamen today, Princess Huyang giggled in the carriage, very proud.
Even if she gets old, she will never forget this matter.
This is a rare glorious record, which is worth remembering for a lifetime.
Tomorrow, she will go to Princess Fuya to show off and stimulate Princess Fuya.
Seeing Princess Fuya's distraught look, she really felt a sense of accomplishment.
This trick was taught to her by Gu Jiu.
Others said she was shameless, but it was actually Gu Jiu who was really shameless.
Gu Jiu is the master who is evil-hearted. And she is the righteous envoy of Li Dalang, the big slut who beats people's lives.
Well, Hu Yang was really limped by Gu Jiu, there's nothing wrong with it.
King Ning saw Gu Jiu pay Hu Yang with his own eyes, and saw Hu Yang leave with a smile on his face.
When it comes to buying people's hearts with money, Gu Jiu is better.
…
Returning to the palace, it was inevitable to have another meal.
First, Mrs. Pei interrogated Gu Jiu, and King Ning excused Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu took advantage of this to escape smoothly.
Then King Ning asked Pei to take out some property and hand it over to Gu Jiu to take care of it. Since Gu Jiu is good at making money, let her shine for the palace.
When Pei heard this, she jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail.
"What does the prince mean by this? The prince dislikes my concubine's limited ability and is not good at making a living. Do you want to seize power?"
"Where did you go? You know, Gu Jiu's financial management skills are valued by even the emperor. To repair the three main halls, and how to solve the problem of money shortage, the emperor will ask the eldest daughter-in-law."
"Really?" Mrs. Pei was dubious, always feeling that King Ning was fooling her.
King Ning nodded heavily, "Of course it's true, how can I lie to you about this kind of thing. You must have heard about what happened today.
Then do you know that from the beginning to the end, everything Huyang did, even what he said in front of his father, was taught by his eldest daughter-in-law
She is a woman in the inner house, she never showed up, but she calculated everything accurately, and she was sure that Huyang could escape smoothly. If it wasn't for Huyang's inability to withstand the pressure of his father, the eldest daughter-in-law could still hide behind her back and not show her face.
Moreover, she also said that the two elders of the Shaofu Family Order, the Shaofu Priest, and the Prisoner of the Shaofu should cooperate with Huyang's actions. Those courtiers could not compare to such intellect.
Let me ask, is there anyone in the court who can accurately calculate the Li family through a business like the eldest daughter-in-law, and successfully pull out the nail of Li Dalang
Ben Wang estimates that what Huyang did today has already spread inside and outside the capital. But how many people know that all this was planned by a housewife hiding in the palace
This incident reminds me that I will issue a password soon, and no one is allowed to disclose the name of the eldest daughter-in-law to the outside world. "
"Why did the lord give the password?" Pei asked curiously.
King Ning laughed, and said: "Hiding the eldest daughter-in-law is equivalent to hiding a sharp sword. Outsiders will guess that Huyang is following the order of the king, but they don't know that the Li family is planted in a family that is less than two decades old. woman hands.
In case one day, the palace falls into the most difficult situation, the king was still worried about who could take on the burden of the palace, but now he is sure that the eldest daughter-in-law will do her part, and she can shoulder the burden of the palace in times of crisis. "
Pei frowned, "The prince thinks too highly of the eldest daughter-in-law."
King Ning waved his hands again and again, "It's not that I think highly of her, but I've always underestimated her. You give her two or three Zhuangzi shops and ask her to take care of them. Wait until next year to see the results, and you'll know whether she can make money or not.
After the renovation of Yuhua Lane is completed, if she really wants to make money, there will be another chance like this next time. This king is the master, give her the capital and tell her to make trouble. However, the palace has to take the lead. "
Pei snorted, "Then divide her into two farms and one grain and oil store. I want to see if she can play tricks."
