After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of the downcast son

Chapter 121 Money is needed everywhere

"Your Highness, are you saying that this tea tasting conference led by the Chamber of Commerce and jointly organized by tea merchants was the work of Zhou Sining? How is this possible? This is obviously..."

"Obviously what?" The Seventh Prince glanced at Zhang Heng who looked in disbelief and said: "The Mingyuan Tea Shop, which has the most say in the chamber of commerce, do you know whose property it is? It belongs to the Su family in Liuzhou.

"

Liuzhou Su family? What does that have to do with Zhou Sining?

Bang, Zhang Heng slapped his forehead. He thought of the Chang family. The person they were facing at that time seemed to be the Liuzhou Su family, and Zhou Sining stood up for the Su family in order to trample on the Chang family.

Could it be that they had contact at that time? At that time, Zhou Sining thought that he could use the Su family in the future? Then she was too powerful. Well, I will have to avoid her in the future.

Although the Seventh Prince Chu Yuchen didn't know what Zhang Heng was thinking, looking at the way he shook his head and nodded, he knew that he must have thought things wrong.

Then he suggested with some helplessness: "Zhou Sining's mother's surname is Su."

Ah? Zhou Sining’s mother’s surname is Su? Could it be that the Liuzhou Su family is still an in-law of the Zhou family? The legitimate son of Zhou’s family married a merchant girl back then? This is unavoidable...

Didn’t he say that he was marrying the legitimate daughter of an established family in the old capital?

When Chu Yuchen arrived with Zhang Heng, there was a fierce bidding process inside for a pair of calligraphy works. The whole set of calligraphy works had only one word.

life!

"Okay, Mr. Liu bids three thousand taels. This set of calligraphy was inscribed by the emperor himself when he congratulated the emperors of the two dynasties on their sixtieth birthday.

Is it...only worth three thousand taels?"

Is it only worth three thousand taels? How could it be!

Previously, just saying that the word "longevity" came from the Zhou family, the bidding price reached 3,000 taels, not to mention it was personally inscribed by the emperor...

"Five thousand taels..."

"Ten thousand taels, I will pay ten thousand taels."

…

In the end, this inscribed longevity inscription was bought by Mr. Liu for a high price of 36,000 taels. Mr. Liu's original words were, "Pray for the longevity of my mother, and relieve worries about the epidemic in Yicheng."

"One word sold for 36,000 taels? Are you so wealthy?" Zhang Heng was stunned.

Mr. Liu seems to be a businessman from out of town. Is it okay to show off his wealth like this?

The corner of Chu Yuchen's mouth twitched. Is Zhou Sining so cruel? He even sells the words "longevity" written by his father for Mr. Zhou? Isn't she afraid of her father punishing the Zhou family?

Another object was displayed, a woman's hairpin.

"Has anyone noticed how extraordinary this pearl hairpin is? Well, yes, this is exactly the old thing used by a country after that."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince frowned and darkened his face.

How brave he was to dare to use his mother's name.

Hearing that the queen's name was mentioned, Zhang Heng felt a little unhappy. When he saw the seventh prince's expression change, he was about to have an attack. But at this moment, a young man came forward and saluted: "Your Highness, we

The master has made tea for His Highness."

Chu Yuchen was not surprised at all. If he didn't even know he was coming, how could he control the whole place? What's more, he also wanted to ask what Zhou Sining wanted to do? He even dared to use the name of the Queen of a country.

.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Sining stood up and saluted.

Chu Yuchen took a look at the people in the room and found that Zhou Sining was the only one, and said, "Is it appropriate for just the two of us to live in the same room?"

Zhou Sining lowered his eyes and smiled: "Oh, it turns out that in His Highness's eyes, Mr. Zhang is not a human being."

"You..." Chu Yuchen flicked his sleeves and sat down. He no longer cared about her reputation.

Zhou Sining knew that the Seventh Prince said that because he was thinking about her reputation, so he pushed the tea over with his own hands and said: "Your Highness is kind and I appreciate it. I invite Your Highness to come over because we have something to discuss."

After taking a look at Zhang Heng, who had been standing still since he came in, Zhou Sining continued: "Your Highness, the wealth of businessmen is well documented, and a lot of money is spent on business, and they have to make daily turnover. How can I get it all at once?"

Those who offer tens of thousands of silver are considered to be too many. After a rough calculation, the court lady can raise hundreds of thousands of silver at most. Without a million-dollar base, it is impossible to solve the crisis in Yicheng.

The maid then thought, since His Highness’s food is all on the table, I can’t give it to them for free, right…”

"Huh? Do you have a way? Tell me..." Chu Yuchen was very interested and wanted to hear what kind of way he could take money out of the pockets of those old foxes.

Zhou Sining twirled the tea cup with his fingers and said with a crooked eyebrow: "It's actually very simple. Your Highness only needs to do two things."

"First, let people reveal the situation here. Even the merchants who are only profitable in their eyes know how to donate money to Ji Yicheng. As nobles in the court and parents of the common people, what should they do?

Second, well, let the prince and princess set an example, and then the relatives will donate generously..."

The corner of Zhang Heng's mouth trembled. Was she thinking about the Zhang family's money? The second prince's troubles in the old capital had already made the Zhang family lose a layer of skin, and the Zhang family couldn't afford much money now.

After all, the Seventh Prince is not an ordinary person. After thinking about Zhou Sining's words in his mind for a moment, he figured out the key. It is indeed a good method. Since he is unwilling to take the initiative to pay, he can only be forced to pay, and

It's not up to them to decide how much to pay.

Chu Yuchen raised his eyes and said, "Isn't it you who arranged Mr. Liu outside?"

Zhou Sining picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Is it okay for you to let me guess? Chu Yuchen looked at Zhou Sining and said, "Aren't you afraid of being accused of offending the imperial authority by using my mother's name in vain?"

Zhou Sining lowered his eyes and said: "His Highness has praised me. Thanks to my courage, I don't dare to use the name of the current queen. Although it is said to be an old thing from a country, it does not say that it is the current queen. This

How can you offend the imperial authority?"

Zhang Heng said: "Is that fake?"

Zhou Sining does not need to answer this question, because someone outside has also raised doubts and is verifying it on the spot.

"It's true. On the back of the pearl hairpin is the word "imperial". If you have any doubts, please come forward and have a look."

Chu Yuchen suddenly remembered that his father, in addition to his mother, also had a beautiful and unfortunate Empress Yuan.

"I understand." After finishing what he wanted to ask, he had to go back to make money. After saying this, the Seventh Prince left without looking back.

Zhou Sining's words were simple, and his method was also a good one. But if he really wanted to achieve something, arranging it would be troublesome. How could the seventh prince have the leisure to continue sitting around having tea and watching the excitement? Since the royal children were involved, he had to make arrangements himself.

It works.

Well, his good second emperor brother is back. I heard that he collected a lot of money from his trip to the old capital. He has always been a good prince who cares about the country and the people. How much is appropriate for him to give? One of his father's.

He has raised more than 30,000 silver for his longevity, so he can't have too little for a majestic prince, right?

There should be one hundred thousand silver.

In the end, the seventh prince's banquet squeezed out 320,000 taels of silver from the hands of the courtiers and nobles. Looking at more than 300,000 taels of silver, it was a lot, but it was still not enough for the wealthy man in Yicheng to squander it.
