Timber, stone, garden, flowers and trees...
One by one the results were revealed.
The price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The highest is close to 400,000, and the lowest is 30,000 to 50,000.
The whole venue became boiling because of being refreshed by exaggerated and unbelievable prices one after another.
It was like boiling water, bubbling all the time.
Hi everyone.
There is no calmness after a long time in the mall, so excited that he stood on a chair and shouted wildly.
Everyone jumps in and becomes a madman.
Master Gu looked at this scene, and angrily reprimanded, "How decent!"
The boss of the Ministry of Households laughed, "It is only inappropriate to sell at a high price. If everyone is sitting upright like us, do you think there are still people who will spend hundreds of thousands of taels to buy the right to use for five years?"
Master Gu was tongue-tied and speechless.
In his heart, he felt that everyone in the hall was crazy. If it were him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to spend hundreds of thousands of taels just to buy a signboard. Even tens of thousands of taels, he couldn't bear it.
However, what the boss of the household department said also makes sense.
Everyone is sitting upright, the price must not be so high.
I have to say, Mr. Hubu has told the truth.
Why did Gu Jiu only invite wealthy businessmen, not officials. Just because people who are officials are boring.
Those who are boring will be blacklisted by Gu Jiu.
Mr. Gu has already been blocked by Gu Jiu.
So like this kind of scene, Gu Jiu never invited Mr. Gu to participate.
In private room No. 8, the emperor was secretly refreshed. Mingming was so refreshed that he wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, but he pretended to be serious and held back.
He looked towards Chen Dachang.
Chen Dachang understood, and said in a low voice: "I have written it all down."
Remember every penny clearly, and guarantee that Gu Jiu will not be greedy for a penny.
Gu Jiu: MMP, shameless.
How dare you doubt her character.
She is taking money, but she is never greedy for money.
Her reputation is solid.
This time, the emperor is pleasing to everyone. Whoever you look at, there is silver light shining in front of your eyes, like snowflakes of silver drifting past your eyes.
Longyan Joy!
In addition, the emperor's expectations for Liu Zhao also increased a little.
The king of Chu was very upset.
Why doesn't he have a wife who can make money
Why all the good things were taken by Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao: I have piercing eyes, among thousands of people, I caught sight of my dear wife—Gu Jiu. He can't make money, but he can marry a woman who can make money, that's his ability.
Room seven.
The family order of the Shaofu was very relieved.
The task of 1.7 million taels was overfulfilled, not bad.
"Congratulations, Xiaojiu. What others can't do, if you entrust it to you, you can do it."
Gu Jiu had a smile on her face, she was also very satisfied with today's result.
According to the agreement between her and the emperor, she can get half of the commission, which is not a small amount after calculation.
Very good, I have the money for the New Year.
She said: "Thank you, my ancestors. If it weren't for the support of my ancestors, today's achievements would not be possible."
"You are too modest. There are tens of thousands of acres of land outside the south city gate. When do you plan to start construction?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it next year."
"Talk to the old man when the construction starts, and the old man will also contribute some money to participate in the shares and earn some coffin money."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Aren't the ancestors worried that I'll screw things up?"
The Shaofu family order waved his hand, "Seeing today's scene, I believe that no one will doubt your ability to make money. The south gate looks messy and there is no way to make money. But the old man firmly believes that if you take action, even if you It's mud, and you have the ability to turn mud into real money."
Gu Jiu was terrified, "The old ancestor thinks highly of the younger generation, and the younger generation is terrified."
The Shaofu family order laughed, "You, you are too modest. We will settle this matter. Don't forget the old man for the project outside the South City Gate."
Gu Jiu responded, "Thank you ancestor for trusting me, I will definitely live up to my ancestor's expectations."
so good.
Thinking that as long as he followed Gu Jiu to invest money, he could earn a fortune of money, the Shaofu Jialing was very happy.
Gu Jiu's ambition is nothing more than a south gate.
She took the opportunity to ask the Shaofu family order, "We have a fixed trade volume with Xiliang and Beirong every year, right?"
Shaofu Jialing's heart skipped a beat and he became nervous.
Whenever Gu Jiu asks about something, it means that Gu Jiu is going to make trouble again, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Old Ancestor, don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually."
Just ask
The Shaofu family order hurriedly said: "Don't ask casually, the old man's heart is about to jump out."
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, is it that exaggerated
She coughed lightly, "I heard that the business related to Beirong and Xiliang is managed by the Shaofu."
"Exactly!"
"How much silver can Shaofu earn from Beirong and Xiliang in a year?"
Shaofu's family ordered a toothache, "This is a secret, you can't say it, you can't say it."
Gu Jiu didn't care, and asked casually, "Is there one hundred thousand taels? Five hundred thousand taels? One million taels?"
Shaofu Jialing's brows twitched, if he could earn one million taels, he wouldn't need to worry about money all day long.
In the past, the main source of income for Shaofu was the domestic salt and iron trade. Salt and iron are monopolized by the Shaofu, how can they not make money.
However, according to regulations, half of the profits earned from salt and iron should be given to the Ministry of Households.
Including the trade with Beirong and Xiliang, half of the profits should be given to the Ministry of Households.
Otherwise, the Ministry of Households only relies on a little commercial tax, plus agricultural tax and poll tax, which is not enough to support the financial expenditure of the DPRK and China.
The Shaofu family order was silent, Gu Jiu immediately guessed that the profit from foreign trade must not be one million taels.
Really incompetent!
Guarding a gold trade line, he couldn't even earn one million taels.
A bunch of idiots!
Gu Jiu's heart aches.
When she felt distressed, she felt angry.
She said indifferently: "In my case, let alone directly create two million taels of profit, and indirectly create tens of millions of taels of income."
Shaofu Jialing almost jumped up, "Xiao Jiu, you can't talk nonsense."
Gu Jiu solemnly said: "Don't dare to talk nonsense. Ancestor, you know me well, and I never speak big words. For example, I promised the emperor at the time that I would rely on the calligraphy bestowed by the emperor to make up for the shortfall in repairing the three halls. A total of 1.7 million taels.
Who believed that I had this ability? Up and down, inside and outside the palace, is there anyone who is not waiting to see my jokes? Today, I used three million taels of income to slap those people in the face. The old ancestor kept saying that he trusted me before, but in a blink of an eye, he told me not to speak big words. "
The Shaofu's family order was blocked, almost speechless.
"This is different. You are a business. The trade with Beirong Xiliang is not only a business, but also a matter of military affairs."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I totally agree with what my ancestor said. It's a matter of great importance to the military and the country, so we can't just look at it from a business perspective. So I want to talk about a business with my ancestor, and I hope my ancestor will make it happen."
When it came to business, the Shaofu's family order became energetic, "You tell me. As long as it's not too embarrassing, the old man will definitely agree to you."
Gu Jiu considered his words, "As the saying goes, people who are not of our race must have a different heart. Those people in Xiliang and Beirong are our enemies in Dazhou. Naturally, there is no need to be kind to enemies.
To tell the truth from my ancestors, some time ago, I bought a lot of land and mines in the south, which required a lot of coolies. Therefore, I want to buy slaves from Xiliang Beirong through your young mansion.
I don't care about the origin of these slaves, whether they are captives or fugitives, as long as they are not from our Dazhou, no matter whether they are from Beirong, Xiliang, or even from the Western Regions, I want them all. The price is negotiable. "
Human trafficking is a bloody trade.
Before making this decision, Gu Jiu also hesitated and struggled.
Finally she convinced herself.
In fact, those trafficked people fell into her hands, which was considered lucky. At least there is food to survive.
If it falls into the hands of other people, whether it can live beyond the first half year is a problem.
In this day and age, human trafficking is a huge business.
Beirong Xiliang is selling people from Dazhou, and Dazhou has been selling people from Beirong Xiliang.
Regardless of whether Gu Jiu will participate in it or not, this business will always exist. And the transaction volume is astonishingly huge.
Gu Jiu participated in it, at least she could be a boss with a bit of conscience, and she would not be enslaved to death.
In fact, sometimes Gu Jiu would reflect on herself. Did she change this era, or was she assimilated by this era
Human trafficking, human traffickers, in modern times everyone calls for beating.
But in ancient society, she seemed to accept this fact subtly.
Is human trafficking a crime
It is indeed a sin.
However, there are still many small people who are willing to sell themselves and become slaves to wealthy families.
For example, those servants of the palace were asked to restore their status as good citizens and fend for themselves. They could kneel at the door and cry for three days and three nights, as if their parents had died.
It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. This sentence is vividly reflected in this era.
Small people life is difficult.
Taking refuge in a rich family, serving as a slave or a handmaid, many times it is just to find a backer.
If those captives could not be sold into slavery, they could only be murdered. Because raising them will waste food.
Food was precious, and even his own soldiers didn't have enough to eat, so how could it be possible for the captives to eat.
It's just that in Gu Jiu's view, killing prisoners is really a pity and a waste.
Those are strong laborers.
Wouldn't it be better to keep it as a coolie
In fact, a long time ago, when he was in the northwest, Gu Jiu had the idea of buying captives.
It's just that at the beginning, she had no capital, no status, and the opportunity hadn't come yet. The thought was suppressed by her.
However, after today, the time is basically ripe.
That's why she took the opportunity to make this request.
The Shaofu Jialing looked hesitant.
Gu Jiu persuaded the Shaofu's family order with his sharp tongue, "My ancestors, buying and selling the population of Beirong Xiliang, especially the captives, is tantamount to weakening the strength of Beirong Xiliang. This is beneficial to the country and the people. Good thing!
Secondly, you only need to communicate well with the frontier troops in various places and transport people to the designated places, and a lot of money will be credited to your account.
Moreover, the frontier army also gained an extra item of income, which could provide the soldiers with two extra meals of meat, and they could wear cotton-padded jackets in winter. Such a good thing, why not do it.
Don't forget, the ancestors, Beirong Xiliang plundered our population, made them slaves and handmaids, and harmed our people. Shouldn't we Dazhou take revenge and go back? "
The Shaofu's family was moved, but he still didn't agree, "This matter is of great importance. I need to report to His Majesty, and I can only agree to you after obtaining His Majesty's permission. Also, human trafficking is harmful to peace after all, and someone in the court must impeach it." .”
Gu Jiu complained: "The masters in the court are mostly pedantic. They hold the archway of the state of etiquette all day long, but watch their own people being robbed and mutilated.
We just treat the other person in the same way as the other person, saying that it is against the peace of heaven. When their own people were killed, why didn't they say that they hurt the peace of heaven? Why don't you want revenge? It is because of those pedantic people in the court that every time they fight, they are losing money. They only see the money spent, but not the income.
If things go on like this, in another twenty or thirty years, will the frontier army still be able to fight? I'm afraid that as soon as a fight breaks out, the big gang of old masters from the DPRK and China will start clamoring for militarism and self-abandonment of martial arts. "
The Shaofu family order was a little confused, "Can you still make money by fighting?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "The old ancestor really knows how to joke, the war is not for making money, what is it for?"
Shaofu Jialing's mind was a little confused, "Naturally, it's to expand the territory."
Gu Jiu said loudly: "What is the purpose of expanding the territory? Of course it is for money! Is land money? Is population money? Are cattle and sheep money? Are underground minerals money
Is it money to deter neighboring countries with the great military achievements of opening up territories, forcing them to open up trade routes, earning silver from other countries, and dumping our products from Dazhou
With money, you can raise more troops, change the equipment of the army, and build an army armed to the teeth. With such an army, who will compete with it inside and outside the world
A war without financial support is doomed to be short-lived. An army without financial support will be dismembered sooner or later. Wars start because of interests.
The reason why Beirong Xiliang went south three times and four times is because of benefits. They plundered our population, robbed our people, and stood on the standpoint of Xiliang Beirong. Are these benefits obtained through war? "
The family order of the Shaofu has lived for decades, but once again Gu Jiu refreshed his three views.
Once again, Gu Jiu turned into a big fool and went to battle in person to brainwash the Shaofu's order.
He rubbed his eyebrows, "You let the old man be quiet."
Gu Jiu didn't say any more, it was enough for this sake.
She didn't know, because of what she said, the No. 8 private room next door was completely silent, and a needle could be heard.
Just now, because Gu Jiu was a little excited, she raised her volume, so that what she said was transmitted to the No. 8 private room next door.
What she said: war, the remarks started because of interests, shocked everyone in the No. 8 private room, from the emperor to the guards, all stunned for a while.
Everyone looked towards Liu Zhao.
Could it be that Liu Zhao asked Gu Jiu to say these words
Gu Jiu knew that the Son of Heaven was sitting in private room No. 8, so he said these words on purpose
Scheming!
Liu Zhao, I didn't expect you to be such an emperor's grandson
He is clearly a scheming man!
So treacherous.
If I can't do it myself, let a woman show her presence, can I have some face
Liu Zhao: MMP, this son is also the first time I have heard the exposition of the nature of war from my dear wife, okay? He was shocked too, okay? His three views are also on the verge of collapse, okay
How did he know that Gu Jiu is not only good at collecting money, but also good at analyzing the nature of war.
In fact, Gu Jiu's remarks were all about money.
Liu Zhao lowered his head, wanting to laugh a little.
Because I didn't hear it before, I don't know why Gu Jiu brought up the war.
But thinking that even such a serious topic as war, she has the ability to bring up money, Liu Zhao couldn't help laughing.
Qian Chuanzi is not called for nothing.
With a serious face, the Son of Heaven glanced at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao asked: "Grandfather, do you want to call Xiao Jiu?"
The emperor waved his hand, "No need."
How can military affairs be trifling.
Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that the emperor would send someone to call Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu didn't know that the Son of Heaven was sitting in private room No. 8 next door. If she knew, she would definitely not say a word.
Even if you say it, you will keep your voice down, and you won't raise it because of excitement.
The bidding conference is drawing to a close.
Some people are happy and some are sad.
The task of 1,700,000 taels was overfulfilled, and it was only a few thousand taels short of the three million taels.
Relying on a copy of the emperor's calligraphy, authorized for five years, in exchange for three million taels.
Looking at the court, no one can match this ability to attract money.
The boss of the household department, repeatedly sighed that the younger generation is terrible.
It was only then that Gu Jiu came to private room No. 3 to greet Mr. Gu and the boss of the household department.
"The younger generation has met the old man, please greet his father."
"Madam Zhao is polite. Once Madam Zhao makes a move, there will be no worries about money. This old man is very impressed."
Gu Jiu laughed, her first impression of the Hubu Shangshu was not bad, at least not pedantic.
"The old man praised it, but the younger generation just met at the right time."
"Humble, too modest. No one else can think of such a method, only you can think of it. This is your uniqueness. Just now, the old man was chatting with your father. Next time you have any profitable business, let the old man participate in it." One share, at least earn some coffin money."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the junior's honor that the elder thinks highly of this junior. If there is such an opportunity, I will definitely notify the elder in time."
"Then we've made a deal. Master Gu, I envy you for having such a capable daughter."
Master Gu felt uncomfortable and was slapped in the face. At the same time feel proud and happy.
Tangled ah!
He said to Gu Jiu with a serious face: "Beware of arrogance and impetuosity. Think more about your family, and the most important thing is to add people to the palace as soon as possible."
Gu Jiu lowered her head and secretly rolled her eyes.
Mr. Gu is a veritable king of the cold.
