Chapter 258: This Jiangnan, I Can't Stay for a Moment!
Zhao Ji is now in great pain, in the month that Master Li came, he wrote more than 20 long poems, after Zhao Mingcheng's identification, he found a lot of ancient paintings, and inscribed them one by one. The word is absolutely good-looking, and the thin gold body is the best in the world.
But now he doesn't have much money in his hands.
"Tong Guan! I still have 40 million left last month! Is it only 10 million this month? Zhao Ji asked blankly.
Tong Guan nodded and said, "Official, it has a lot of money." It is not time to hand over the purchases in various places, and according to rumors, the purchases in various places have been linked up and are ready to pay commercial taxes to Bianjing. And the agricultural tax, the official family, is about to harvest rice, and it can be levied. ”
Zhao Ji nodded, that's right. This is the rich Great Song Dynasty, who can be taxed anytime and anywhere for him to eat, drink and be merry.
"Then there's no need to worry." Zhao Ji was extremely satisfied. But Tong Guan was still worried and said: "Official, there are only 120,000 people left in the forbidden army. ”
Zhao Ji said nonchalantly: "Twelve hundred thousand people are good, I have paid the forbidden army who ran away, isn't it?" There is still some money left, and a month's monthly salary will eat up more than 3 million of my silver coins. Where do I have so much money for them! ”
Tong Guan shook his head helplessly and said, "Official, let's go back to Bianjing." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Cai Jing finally stood up and said in front of the emperor.
"Official, this money is just enough for Bianjing."
Cai Jing's reason is very simple, that is, there is no money.
400,000 troops are stationed under the city of Lin'an, and they have to eat and wear tens of millions of dollars a month, especially in the small court here, when there is no grain and grass.
As soon as all the supply and demand of grain and grass should be bought, life will be more difficult, and the money will be spent faster.
Now there is another big money like Master Li, it seems that there are only more than 20 ancient paintings, but the average price of a painting is 500,000, this month, Master Li alone bought more than 10 million ancient paintings with Zhao Ji!
"I'm going to sell these ancient paintings. If you think about it, ancient paintings are extremely valuable. The words I wrote myself in the imperial pen must have risen in value. Do you think I'm just spending my days drinking? Didn't think about so much else? Zhao Ji said smugly.
And Tong Guan and Cai Jing shook their heads in unison, this ancient painting is valuable, but if you have Zhao Ji's words on it, it is not valuable!
Emperor Taishang did not adjust his mentality, he is no longer the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he does not have the power of a word.
And the most important thing is that the Emperor Taishang is not popular in Jiangnan, and this ancient painting was originally traded in this area of Jiangnan.
Zhao Ji's popular ...... in Jiangnan
"Tong Guan, you go and sell. Be sure to sell it for a good price. Zhao Ji said loudly, as if he was still not satisfied, and said to Master Li: "I tell you, these more than 20 paintings can definitely be sold at a sky-high price, and I have 120,000 people, and I have a year's food money." ”
Zhao Ji felt that he was very smart and had a unique idea.
It's just that Tong Guan was embarrassed and said: "Official, you can't sell it." ”
In the end, Tong Guan still took these more than 20 volumes of ancient paintings and summoned the shopkeepers of major merchants' homes to sell paintings.
Unfortunately, there were very few bidders.
More than 20 volumes of paintings, I bought half of them.
This is still the shopkeeper paid a little deposit, and then was denied by the owner of the merchant's house.
Tong Guan was helpless, but Wang Boyan had a lot of tricks, and he wanted to buy and sell.
It's a pity that he didn't complete the task well, and the refusal attitude of the families in Jiangnan was extremely obvious.
It's a pity that these merchants' homes ran extremely fast and were pounced on by Wang Boyan, and the direct consequence of this one was that the merchants' homes were connected in series.
This tandem is in big trouble.
Jiangnan has become a private fashion, because the money from Bianjing is no longer enough.
So their technology for minting money is quite complete.
In this series, the family of Shangjia united with the landlords and finally took their last step to recruit private soldiers.
Wang Boyan took soldiers and ancient paintings to sell around, and really sold one or two, just as he was complacent and came to Cui's house, he was stunned by an arrow shot on the sedan chair.
The Great Song Dynasty forbids bows and crossbows, where does this arrow come from?
"Don't take another step forward, or the sword will have no eyes!" The Cui family's family soldiers, holding a crossbow, pointed at Wang Boyan's palanquin and military array from afar.
Wang Boyan looked at the soldiers on the opposite side, and turned his head to look at the crooked melons and cracked dates of the forbidden army on his side.
He immediately turned the sedan chair and ran to the Lin'an City Palace as fast as he could.
"Official! Big things are wrong! Big things are not good! Rebellion! They're the opposite! Wang Boyan cried and wiped his tears and ran into the palace from the outside.
Zhao Ji is irritable, this Wang Boyan likes to make a fuss the most, he is timid and afraid of death, and he likes to make a fuss about nothing.
"What's going on?" Zhao Ji asked impatiently.
"The minister looked for the inspector of the Imperial City Division of Lin'an City, and asked to understand, the merchants, the squires, and the landlords united! Rebellion! Official, let's go! Wang Boyan pointed to the outside of the palace in horror and shouted in horror.
Zhao Ji was silent, his thoughts returned to the second year of Xuanhe, when Jiangnan Dilong turned over, Fang La led millions of people, and that kind of horror suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ji!
"Tong Guan! King Tongjun, lead the forbidden army to quell the rebellion! Fast! Zhao Ji shouted loudly, and Tong Guan hurriedly ran in from outside.
He wiped the sweat from his head and said: "The forbidden army has run less than 100,000, and if you put down the rebellion, I'm afraid it will come out!" Official. The rebellion could not be quelled, and the appeasement was the main thing, with Wang Boyan as the appeasement, and the various families were appeased, and it was reiterated that bows, crossbows, and armor should not be forged without permission. ”
"King Tongjun, you call me by my name! Are you going to insult me? Wang Boyan shouted at Tong Guan very angrily.
Then Wang Boyan wagged his tail and begged for Zhao Ji and said: "The minister doesn't go, the minister can't go!" If the minister goes, they will kill the minister! ”
Tong Guan said sharply: "You force you to buy and sell ancient paintings!" Leads to Gangnam Connection! Now if you don't go, who will? ”
Wang Boyan was still shouting loudly, but Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair in a daze, stunned.
Master Li inserted a lychee with a bamboo stick, put it in Zhao Ji's mouth and said, "Official, what are you all discussing?" The concubine didn't understand a word. It's this lychee, it's all refrigerated in the ice cellar, last year's lychee. It's all frozen, and it's not tasty anymore. ”
"When the concubine heard about it, she rode the red dust and the concubine smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee, and I didn't know if the official family could find some lychees from Guangzhou, and the concubine was greedy." Master Li smiled and said.
Zhao Ji shook his hand again and again, sat up straight, and said, "Go back to Beijing!" Get ready to go! I still don't believe it! My angry son! How dare you really put me under house arrest?! ”
"Who! Wang Boyan, you are an angel and preach all doors. King Tongjun, look for three or five strong men to accompany Wang Boyan to ensure the safety of Wang Fuji, and you must let Wang Fujiao do his best to appease him. Zhao Ji had a hint of ruthlessness on his face.
He slapped the table and said to Tong Guan: "You can go back to Beijing!" I'll leave tonight. ”
Zhao Ji's legs were swinging, but it was really that after the earth dragon turned over in the second year of Xuanhe, Fang La's incident made him palpitate.
"Immediately!"
"Your Ministers obey!"
