The heavens start from the red building

Chapter 50 Business
Jia She didn't finish his sentence, but Dai Quan already understood what he meant.

Dai Quan reassured Jia She, "You don't have to worry about money, the emperor sent me to Liaodong this time to raise funds."

Jia She gave Dai Quan a strange look, and Dai Quan quickly explained that the emperor had read Li Guogong's memorial and was very interested in Jurchen's special products.

Dai Quan is the emperor's personal eunuch. He not only manages the Imperial City Secretary, but also manages the emperor's private treasury, purchases tributes from the palace, and deals with imperial merchants.

The emperor meant to let Dai Quan come to Liaodong to explore. If Jia Amnesty and the others really win the Jurchen, then the Jurchen specialties can make a lot of money.

Jia She listened for a long time and understood what the emperor meant. He wanted to support the two new imperial merchants as his source of wealth.

But this is also normal. In the past, those imperial merchants were hand-picked by the Supreme Emperor, and they respected the Supreme Emperor a lot.

But the Taishanghuang is not dead yet, the emperor can't cut off the Taishanghuang's money, so he can only find another way.

Most of the work is done by people who want to do it. You must know that doing this business is profitable without compensation.

Although the emperor will take a commission, the special products of Jurchen are all good things, especially old mountain ginseng, which rich and noble people like to keep at home these days.

Hearing what Dai Quan said, Jia Amnesty was a little tempted. No one would think too little money. If he could get a piece of it, then Rongguo Mansion's annual income would probably be doubled.

Jia Amnesty asked Dai Quan tentatively, Dai Quan still needed his help, of course he would not lose face on such a trivial matter.

Anyway, no matter who is capable, the emperor just needs to give him enough money every year. It would be even better if Jia amnesty.

Dai Quan is in charge of the Imperial City Department and has the most information. He has long known Jia She's reputation among Tartars and Jurchens.

If it were other businessmen, those Jurchens might even raise their prices, but if it was Jia She's people who did it, those Jurchens would definitely not dare to raise prices as high as they could.

However, Jia Amnesty did not intend to desperately lower the price, and it would not be worthwhile to push Jurchen back.

Anyway, according to what Dai Quan said, the emperor only needs 200 million taels a year, and whoever can give the money to the Jurchen business will be handed over to whoever.

Jia She calculated it and realized that if the Jurchens only had pearls and ginseng, they could earn more than this amount every year.

Not to mention horses, cattle and sheep, as well as fur and mountain delicacies, Jia She felt that this business could be done.

However, it is still a bit difficult for him to eat this business by himself, mainly because it is too hateful to eat alone.

Jia She thought for a while and decided to call Duke Li. He planned to discuss the matter with Duke Li when he was entertaining guests in the evening.

Jia She also invited Dai Quan and said they would have fun together in the evening.

Dai Quan waved his hand. Jia She's colleagues would definitely not feel comfortable if he was going to visit them. Besides, he didn't want to be with those military attaches. However, he took advantage of the situation and introduced his nephew to Jia She, hoping that Dai Jizu would follow Jia She.

Jia Amnesty glanced at Dai Jizu and felt strange. Didn't he hear that Dai Quan had a nephew when he was in the capital?

But Dai Quan has helped him so much, of course he would not lose face for such a small matter, so he agreed with all his mouth, and first took Dai Jizu to be a personal guard by his side, and said he would promote him after returning to the capital.

Dai Quan was happy to see Jia She giving face so much, and quietly revealed more information to Jia She.

From Dai Quan's words, Jia She knew that the emperor was now very dissatisfied with the Zhen family in Jinling.

The last time the emperor ordered Zhen Yingjia to ask them to pay back the money from the treasury, but Zhen Yingjia pretended to sell the property.

He also asked Mrs. Zhen to write a letter to the Emperor, asking the Emperor to give her more time, and that she would pay back the money immediately after the Zhen family sells the property.

The old lady Zhen is the nurse of the Supreme Emperor, so the Supreme Emperor also felt that the Emperor was too aggressive.

So he called the emperor over and said that the money owed by the Zhen family was due to the reception of the driver back then. He said that since the emperor already wanted a lot back, he should not force the Zhen family anymore.

However, in order to appease the emperor, the Supreme Emperor still asked the Zhen family to pay back some, and pay back the rest slowly later.

Although the emperor was angry, he still wanted to give the emperor some face, so he thought the Zhen family could just pay back half of it.

Unexpectedly, the Zhen family actually repaid 20 taels willingly after receiving the emperor's request, and then began to cry and say they had no money.

According to Dai Quan, when the emperor received the repayment from Zhen's family, the brush that he was writing in his hand was abruptly broken.

However, for the sake of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor did not have an attack, and the incident passed for the time being.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this, what was the Zhen family thinking, how old is the Supreme Emperor, can he still protect the Zhen family for the rest of his life?

Seeing Jia She's expression, Dai Quan knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Mr. Rong thinks the Zhen family is stupid. The Zhen family was spoiled by the Supreme Emperor. In their eyes, even if the Supreme Emperor left, his family There are also two princesses, the emperor always wants to give them some face."

Jia Shehehehe, if you offend the emperor so much now, not to mention the princess in your family, even the queen in your family will be deposed.

Jia She decided in his heart that he would stay away from the Zhen family's idiots and not be led into a pit by them.

Jia Amnesty also chatted with Dai Quan for a long time, and he also had some understanding of the situation in the capital. Looking at the time, Jia Amnesty was going to the meeting too.

After saying goodbye to Dai Quan and taking Dai Jizu with him, Jia Amnesty set off for the restaurant.

Jia She had already asked someone to book a restaurant in advance. That night, Jia She and his colleagues drank with all their heart.

After two rounds of toasting, Jia Amnesty was also a little drunk, but when he saw Duke Li, he remembered that there was still business to do, so he hurried over and dragged Duke Li aside.

The people around saw him chatting with Duke Li, and they didn't bother him uninterestedly. Jia She told the emperor about Jurchen's special products, and Duke Li was very tempted.

Jia She quickly persuaded him that if he wanted to do this, he had to settle it as soon as possible. Dai Quan meant that the emperor was also very tempted by the construction of the city reported by Duke Li.

The emperor asked Dai Quan to come and settle the matter of special products first, and then he would send someone to talk to Jurchen about building the city.

Dai Quan means that if they want to start this business, they should quickly make a deal with the Jurchens first, so that the Jurchens can have some money, so that the court can trick them into building cities and allowing us to garrison troops.

Li Guogong thought about it, of course this business is done, but he also has concerns, he has not been in Liaodong for a long time.

If he leaves, will the new commander-in-chief be jealous, and it will be bad to make trouble then.

Jia She thought so too, after thinking for a long time, Jia She came up with an idea.

Jia She's intention is to divide the business into three parts. Now the two of them will share it equally. After Duke Li Guo is transferred away, each of them will divide another part and give it to the new commander.

Anyway, he was transferred back to the capital and was favored by the emperor. Duke Li was not someone to be trifled with. They both shared their interests with the new commander. If he was not wise, Jia She and Duke Li were not someone to be trifled with either.

Li Guogong is not a mother-in-law, and he agrees with this idea. This will not only make money, but also make more allies in the future. Li Guogong thinks it is very good.
