Nearly noon.
Shui Rong was half asleep and half awake, when he heard a crisp sound from the cubicle. He got up from the bed in a daze, opened the door and looked outside. Who knows, before he could see what was going on in the hall, he It was first reflected in the green color.
It turned out that in the small hall, there was a graceful woman sitting on the ground kneeling on the ground, concentrating on melting a piece of wax stick, the brilliant green light was emitted when the wax stick was burning.
"Aifei."
Shui Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "How many times have I said that this kind of rough work is handed over to the slaves—if I accidentally burn you, how can I get it?"
This woman is naturally the Princess Wei.
Seeing that she turned a deaf ear, she blew out the candle on the table, took another piece of mink, dipped it in the melted wax oil, and carefully wrapped the two bowstrings.
When the sable fur was tightly tied with a ribbon, she got up and gave a blessing, and said indifferently: "The things that the concubine uses by herself should still be maintained by herself, so that I feel more at ease."
Seeing that she was wearing a light pink jacket on her upper body and a pair of trousers for horseback riding on her lower body, she looked like a heroic and valiant man. The rise of a thousand styles.
Especially seeing those two slender legs, tightly overlapping each other, Shui Rong felt a sense of dryness in her lower abdomen, wishing she could take the place of the black horse in the stable and let her ride on her. galloping'.
It's a pity that Wei Shi, who came from a dignified identity, was absolutely unwilling to do that daytime prostitution, so Shui Rong could only clamp his tail, and went up to please and asked: "This 'rosin wax' that this king ordered people to burn. , but still make it?"
"This 'Rosin Wax' is naturally excellent."
Wei Shi first praised, but then said sternly: "It's just that the mansion is at a time when it is stretched, and it owes the Ministry of Internal Affairs a lot of famine - so this item that is equivalent to gold, the courtier and concubine always feel uneasy when using it. ."
She naturally wanted to persuade Shui Rong not to be too extravagant.
But when Shui Rong heard this, he laughed and said, "Concubine Ai needn't worry about it, now my brother-in-law and I are partnering to run a business, and within ten months, we will have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the account. What is rosin wax?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei was waiting to inquire about it, but suddenly remembered something, and quickly changed her words: "By the way, my brother-in-law just sent someone over to spread the word, saying that when the prince wakes up, there are some things that need to be reported in person."
Shui Rong laughed again, and said triumphantly: "Is there any good news - Concubine Ai, please wait here, let me see my brother-in-law first, and come back and tell you about this good business!"
Saying that, he pecked Wei's face and ran out as if he was running away.
This way, I arrived in the flower hall with great joy, but saw Wei Rusong's complexion a little uncertain, Shui Rong suddenly felt a little uneasy, and quickly asked: "Brother-in-law, is there an accident?"
"Well..."
Wei Rusong hesitated for a while, and then pretended to be dashing and said, "It's not a big deal, but it's just something that doesn't open the eyes, jumping out to make a fortune."
As he said that, he briefly recounted to Shuirong about the situation of someone selling middle-grade gold shells near Honglu Temple, as well as his follow-up countermeasures.
In the end, he said calmly: "A mere 2,000 middle-grade gold shells can't make any waves. As long as we handle it properly, maybe we can get another wave."
Shui Rong was infected by Wei Rusong's relaxed attitude, and felt that it was no big deal. There were only 2,000 middle-grade gold shells left and right. Thinking about it, it was like the 500 pieces in Jia She's hands, which were detained by a certain merchant. stock.
To eat these two thousand gold shells, although you have to pay at least 30,000 taels of silver, but when the middle-grade gold shells rise to 30 taels of silver as expected, wouldn’t it be possible to make more money
Therefore, Shui Rong also laughed and said, "It's a pity that there are only 2,000 pieces, if there are more..."
"My lord, my lord!"
Before Shui Rong could finish her words, someone from the outside rushed in like a mourner, but it was Steward Liu who had received the money and went to the vicinity of Honglu Temple to scan the goods.
But seeing him sweating profusely into the hall, he knelt down on his knees with a thud, prostrate on the ground and trembled: "The big thing is bad, my lord! The little one was ordered to buy those 2,000 gold shells, who knows that the other party will I took out another 20,000 middle-grade gold shells and continued to open the sale!"
"Not only that, they also lowered the price directly to 12 taels of silver!"
Take out another 20,000? !
Just now he was still too little, but after hearing the astonishing number, Shui Rong was startled and dumbfounded.
Wei Rusong's face lost all of his blood all at once. In the warehouse of Beijing Palace, there are only 16,000 middle-grade gold shells - those who can take out 22,000 middle-grade gold shells at once , I am afraid that there is only Zhongshun Palace!
But how is this possible? !
Even a fool should know what catastrophic consequences will be caused by 22,000 middle-grade gold shells being sold together at a low price!
Is King Zhongshun crazy
You must know that once the price of Tao Zhu Jinbei collapses, he will lose at least hundreds of thousands of taels of huge profits!
"Brother-in-law!"
Shui Rong swallowed his mouth and spit, and looked at Wei Rusong with hope: "This... how can this be good?"
Where did Wei Rusong come up with
After a long while, he opened his mouth with difficulty, but before he could say anything, someone outside the door reported a report: "Your Highness Qi, Zhou Mo, the chief minister of the Zhongshun Palace, has just sent a letter saying yes. King Zhongshun wrote to you."
Letter from King Chung Soon? !
Shui Rong said urgently, "Hurry, hurry up and present that letter to this king!"
Immediately outside, someone came in and put the book on it with both hands.
Shui Rong grabbed it with a split hand, tore the letter apart and looked at it at a glance:
Just saw King Zhongshun expressing in his letter that he recently accidentally discovered that the Hu merchants in the Western Regions are concocting a conspiracy - these damn barbarians actually want to use the worthless rotten shells to defraud the people of Da Zhou.
After learning about this, King Zhongshun felt a sense of mission as a courtier, so he decided to use his own power to break this crazy conspiracy!
Therefore, he has been collecting Tao Zhu Jinbei in recent months, not to make the country hard to make money, but to make this thing worthless first, so that Hu Shang's conspiracy will be self-defeating!
Who would have thought that this great kindness would bring disaster. Since May 25th, the slaves he secretly sent to acquire Jinbei were often stopped on official roads, and those who were half-robbed and half-purchased were taken away. Kimbe.
Four times before and after, more than 50,000 gold shells disappeared.
King Zhongshun searched for a long time, but could not find out who was behind the scenes, and now he was going to the palace to escape the summer heat.
However, when Shui Rong saw this, the bottom of a pot with a handsome face seemed to have turned black, raised his head and gritted his teeth and asked, "Steward Liu, since the twenty-fifth of last month, we have intercepted several traders in our house, and how much money did we get? cowry?"
Even though Steward Liu saw that his face was wrong, how could he dare to deceive him
Busy and politely replied: "Reporting to the lord, since the 25th of last month, a total of seven businessmen have been intercepted, and more than 60,000 gold shells have been obtained..."
Before she could finish listening, Shui Rong kicked Steward Liu back with a kick, and growled angrily, "Damn idiot, you've been fooled for so long, and you haven't found any clues!"
Comparing the two, how come Shui Rong still doesn't understand that more than half of the golden shells he bought recently are from King Zhongshun's stock? !
In addition to the more than 2,000 middle-grade gold shells that he bought at the market price before, he had already lost 60,000 taels of silver to him before he knew it!
But why did King Zhongshun do this
In order to swindle your own 60,000 taels of silver, abandoning hundreds of thousands of taels of huge profits? This behavior is too strange, right? !
Just as he was puzzled, Wei Rusong picked up the letter from the ground and swept it over quickly, then he suddenly exclaimed: "Damn! We have always forgotten that there is such a variable as Your Majesty. !"
"His Majesty?"
"It's Your Majesty!"
Wei Rusong said with a wry smile: "Apart from the present Your Majesty, who else can make King Zhongshun give up the money he has at his fingertips, and he has to personally come forward to clean up the mess? It must be that after His Majesty heard about this, he felt that it was harmful to the people, so he ordered King Zhongshun to do so. Rein on the cliff."
As he said that, he shook the letter in his hand again, and said helplessly: "However, King Zhongshun was unwilling to take on the capital, so he hit us with the idea and cheated us of money to make up for his shortfall!"
"It's a shame that we still think we have a plan, and we can follow him to pick up a big bargain without risk and no risk, but who knows that he is playing with applause..."
Halfway through speaking, Shui Rong's body swayed a few times, almost falling to the ground.
Wei Rusong hurriedly stopped the conversation, stretched out his hand to support Shui Rong, and was about to ask a few words of concern, when he heard Shui Rong grit his teeth and say, "Too deceiving people, this old thief is really deceiving people too much!"
While speaking, a trace of blood oozes out of his mouth.
When Wei Rusong saw this, he knew that he was so angry that it hurt his heart, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness must take care of your body, but it's only 60,000 taels of silver, since the original idea was I paid the money, and of course I should come..."
He was doing a great job here, but when he heard someone outside the door hurriedly reporting: "My lord, something is bad! The chief Shi Zhoumo of the Zhongshun palace, led people to surround and beat our mansion's steward Chen. He also pointed out that he was a strongman blocking the road, and wanted to take him to the Shuntian Mansion to meet an official!"
Hearing this, Shui Rong straightened his back all of a sudden, and said bitterly, "Okay, okay! He cheated on my money, and even sent someone to call the door. Really... Really..."
As he spoke, two red tides suddenly appeared on his face, and then his throat trembled, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood with a wow!
