Zhu Jie was bored, wandered around, and unconsciously came to the bank of the Qinhuai River, it was already sunset, and the painting boats on the Qinhuai River were already on the lanterns, and bursts of intoxicating dance music could float from the boat to the shore across the river.

Zhu Jie looked at it, on the Qinhuai River, a painting boat is extremely gorgeous, carved railings and jade, and it is full of color, on the Qinhuai River, almost all the painting boats have been pressed down, it is really gorgeous!

Many tourists stand on the riverbank, pointing at the boat, and constantly admiring.

"Excuse me, who owns this boat?"

Zhu Jie asked the people on the side, there are more than a few painting boats on the Qinhuai River, but most of them have owners, and they are not even brothels in Qinglou, but the private wealth of powerful families in Nanjing, which is used to show their status and status.

The tourists on the side glanced at Zhu Jie and said with a smile: "This gentleman, you are from outside, not a local, right?" You don't know that? This is the Hibiscus Boat, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qian Qianyi, just spent a lot of money to build the Hibiscus Boat, just to build this painting boat, Lord Qian spent no less than 10,000 taels of silver, 20 zhang long, 13 zhang wide, the wood used is said to be the Nanyang fragrant wood left over from the Emperor's Mausoleum, the fragrance is overflowing, the decoration inside is splendid, I heard that the murals are painted with gold, there are countless treasures, in the whole Nanjing City, I can no longer find such a same painting boat......"

A painting boat cost tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Even when Zhu Jie heard it, he felt dizzy, this Qian Qianyi is so big!

"Tsk! Childe, this Qian adult's pomp and circumstance is bigger than yours, and he is really willing to spend money, 10,000 taels......"

The imperial guard Lan Licheng was amazed and said on the side.

The tourist said disdainfully: "What is this? This is the dowry prepared by Lord Qian in order to marry Liu Ru is girl, in addition to this hibiscus boat, there is also Yu Shan for Liu Ru is girl to build a courtyard, the cost is higher than this painting boat, named Red Bean Villa, one of which is named Qianyun Building, splendid, beautiful, once Lord Qian marries this Miss Liu Ru is young lady, then plan to die of old age Red Bean Villa, live for a long time, just this painting boat, a red bean villa, Qian Daren spent at least 30,000 taels of silver, rich people, is worthy of being a world-famous leader in the literary world, a powerful person in the DPRK and China, even if we earn this silver for three lifetimes, we can't earn it......"

"Not only that, Miss Liu Ru is the most prestigious talented woman on the Qinhuai River, she is both beautiful and artistic, hearty, quite a woman who does not let her eyebrows be proud, famous in Jiangnan, I heard that in order to redeem Miss Liu Ru is , Lord Qian needs to escape more than 30,000 taels of silver, after all, Miss Liu Ru is famous all over the world, it is the cash cow and cornucopia of Xiyun Pavilion, even if it is a high position and power, it has to break the ......"

Someone else chimed in.

In order to marry Liu Ruyi, Qian Qianyi spent 30,000 taels of silver on the dowry, and even spent more than 30,000 taels of silver to redeem her.

Hum!

Zhu Jie was slightly angry in his heart, and asked you to lend the silver to the court, crying poor one by one, and now in order to marry a woman, you are willing to take out so much silver, shameless! Shameless!

"By the way, this brother, you said that the wood used for this painting boat was transported from the South Seas?"

Zhu Jie asked.

The visitor hurriedly replied: "Well, it is said that it was transported from Nanyang, these timbers were originally used to build the imperial mausoleum, for the first emperor to hold a national sacrifice, transported from Nanyang, to match the majesty of the royal family, this messenger just handed over to Qian Qianyi's hands, he is naturally near the water to get the moon first, the best camphor wood and golden silk nanmu, priceless ah......

Just said this, the tourist on the side suddenly tugged on his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Shen Yan, don't you know that the disaster comes from the mouth?" If you don't have real evidence, you dare to speak nonsense, and if you are known by Qian Butang, it will be difficult for you to live! ”

The visitor pursed his lips and replied, "What's this?" If he does it, won't anyone be allowed to say it? ”

Just as he was about to continue, his companion on the side desperately tugged at his sleeve and pulled him away from the place.

Zhu Jie's face was ugly to death, and he shouted in a low voice: "Lan Licheng, go to the Intelligence Department immediately, and Zhao Gaojie will enter the palace immediately!" Let's go, go back to the palace, don't look at it! ”

What else to earn? I wanted to relax, but I encountered such a thing, it was really Zhumen's wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road, these people no longer had the backbone of a scholar! Now that the national crisis is at hand, they don't think about how to contribute to the country, but they spend all day drinking, not to mention anything else, just this painting boat can't be fake, right? More than 10,000 taels of silver! In particular, enough for the Imperial Marines to build a first-class warship!

Even if you Qian Qianyi didn't have the money of the Mo Imperial Court, then you would definitely not be able to use it!

returned to the Qianqing Palace, and after a short time, Gao Jie hurriedly ran over.

Gao Jie was already angry, just returned to the house, not for a long time, Lan Licheng ran to the mansion to announce the decree, and ordered himself to enter the palace immediately to meet him, Gao Jie returned to the Qianqing Palace again with a stomach.

"Chen Gaojie see the emperor!"

Gao Jie said in a deep voice.

"What? Brother Gao, you haven't gotten along with your anger yet? ”

Zhu Jie said lightly.

Gao Jie pursed his lips and replied: "Fortunately, if it wasn't for Lord Huang reminding me at that time, I wouldn't have bothered to apologize, the minister knows that there is no barrier between our monarchs and ministers, so sometimes, we have to suffer some grievances for the emperor, what is this?" The minister's life is the emperor's! It's just that I don't resent Qian Qianyi's words! ”

Zhu Jie nodded and replied, "Brother Gao, it's good that you understand, our monarchs and ministers are not only monarchs and ministers, but also brothers, sometimes, you have to take care of me more......"

"Your Majesty, you didn't just come here for this general, did you? It's better to let the minister go home and sleep! ”

Gao Jie asked.

Zhu Jie took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I just came back from the Qinhuai River......"

"What, which lady does the emperor have a crush on? Or a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River? To tell the truth, your harem is only two concubines, which is too thin, and as the emperor, you need to spread the branches......"

Gao Jie said with a smile.

Only Gao Jie dares to say this, after all, the relationship between the two is not the same as Qin Mufeng and Xu Yifan, several of them are Zhu Jie's cultivated henchmen, and they are full of awe for Zhu Jie, but Gao Jie is different, Gao Jie is a wise eye to recommend Zhu Jie from the mountains, and Gao Jie is the oldest and has deeper qualifications, so he has no restraints in front of Zhu Jie.

"Brother Gao, how has your intelligence department been operating recently, I have entrusted you with the task of supervising hundreds of officials, what about the useful information you brought to me? On the Qinhuai River, Qian Qianyi spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on a painting boat, and the wood of the first emperor's mausoleum was used on the painting boat, didn't you get any news? ”

Zhu Jie shouted suddenly.
