The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

There was silence in the arena, and everyone was stunned.

Some people are not good at arithmetic, and they can't figure it out at all. How much silver is 50 shi and 500 taels per shi.

Of course, although they don't know the specific number, they know that this is an extremely huge number.

"Two hundred and fifty million taels! This trip to the sea has actually earned two hundred and fifty million taels!?" Yan Jin exclaimed, his eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, with shock written all over their faces, even Zhao Qi was no exception.

Although they were mentally prepared, they couldn't help being shocked after hearing the specific numbers.

5000 million taels!

What a frightening figure this is, which is the total tax revenue of the Great Han Dynasty for four or five years!

This, is this possible?

Zhao Qi became short of breath, and asked Chen Jiang: "Chen Aiqing, is this serious?"

Chen Jiang replied loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense about this matter. The silver has already been transported back with the merchant ship, and His Highness has already sent someone to escort it."

Zhao Qi's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said loudly, "Ji Zhong! Du Hao!"

"My minister is here!" The two quickly responded.

"Let's lead the respective troops to assist the governor's mansion to escort the official silver!" Zhao Qi said.

He was naturally worried about such a large sum of money. To be safe, he asked Jin Yiwei and the infantry camp to escort it together.

"Yes!" Ji Zhong and Du Hao agreed, and immediately took orders to leave.

After the two left, everyone was still immersed in the huge shock. They looked at Jia Jue with admiration in their eyes.

At this moment, they finally understood why Jia Jue had to pay a high price of five taels of silver per stone for planting common people?
It is because he knows that the money he spends will be earned back ten times, a hundred times!
He is not fooling around!
No, not only is he not messing around, he deliberately set such a high price just to attract people to plant!
After this success, the common people naturally know that planting this spiritual smoke is extremely profitable. Therefore, in the days to come, the enthusiasm for planting will be greatly increased!
What Jia Jue saw was not just a few gains and losses in front of him, but an extremely long-term future!
Jia Jue was far-sighted, and they couldn't even touch the corner of Jia Jue's clothes.

Those who thought it was Jia Jue who made the court situation worse were now too ashamed to even raise their heads.

They are treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. What Jia Jue brought to the court was not to add insult to injury, but to give help in a timely manner.

They don't have any face or qualifications to question and laugh at Jia Jue!
"Jue'er, would you like to tell me, what is that spiritual smoke? How did you earn so much money?" Zhao Qi asked Jia Jue.

What he said was also full of negotiating tone, and he even used the word "kewan", which shows his affection for Jia Jue and respect for him.

Jia Jue smiled: "Father, Lingyan is a special kind of tobacco. It not only tastes delicious and makes people feel comfortable, but more importantly, it also has the effect of relieving pain."

Tobacco already existed at this time, but it was not popularized on a large scale.

And Jia Jue's spiritual smoke is not ordinary tobacco, but a special product in the system.

Zhao Qi's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Dashi and Sassan are in a full-scale battle. They must have suffered countless casualties. This kind of spiritual smoke is exactly what they need urgently. In this way, it is no wonder that they will pay such a capital to buy this thing."

Jia Jue smiled: "Father is wise."

Zhao Qi laughed, but then asked again: "It's just that we have earned such a large sum of money, how can the two countries be reconciled?"

Jia Jue chuckled, and took out two documents from his pocket:

"Father, the minister has already signed an agreement with them on this matter. The two countries have opened several treaty ports for us to do business with the big man. They must not stop them."

"Oh! Hurry up, present it!" Zhao Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly took the agreement from Jia Jue.

After flipping through it for a while, he laughed and said, "Okay! Okay! In this way, we will earn money openly and aboveboard, and they can't interfere at all!"

Zhou Ping frowned, and asked: "Your Majesty, Your Highness. It's okay if it's an ordinary transaction, but now that the amount of money is so huge, will they go back on their word?"

Zhao Qi looked at Jia Jue, this is a problem that has to be guarded against, if the two countries jump over the wall in a hurry, it will be bad.

Jia Jue smiled lightly and replied, "At this time, the two countries are fighting each other hard. If anyone dares to go back on his word, won't he push us to the other side?"

Everyone was stunned, this is not bad, no one dares to offend the big man at this time, if the big man becomes an enemy, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Zhou Ping thought for a while, and then asked: "If the two countries give up their prejudices and join forces to deal with us, what should we do?"

This question made everyone think deeply. There is no eternal enemy between countries. When the interests of the two are the same, they will naturally put down their hatred and unite temporarily.

The same is true for Dashi and Sassan. If their losses are really huge, it is very likely that they will temporarily truce and put pressure on the big man. At that time, the big man will face two big countries, and the pressure will be unprecedented.

Jia Jue laughed when he heard the words: "That's something you can't wish for."

"Why?" Zhou Ping asked suspiciously.

This is not only his doubt, but also the common doubt of everyone.

Jia Jue smiled lightly: "If the two countries break the contract, this will give us an excuse to send troops, and it is naturally desirable."

Hearing his words, everyone was shocked again, Jia Jue actually wanted to attack Dashi and Sassan!

What audacity this is!
While everyone was discussing these matters, Ji Zhong and Du Hao who had left returned to the hall together.

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that I did not disgrace my life, and I have already escorted the silver to the treasury." Ji Zhong said to Zhao Qi.

"Oh? Have you ever counted them?" Zhao Qi asked with concern.

Ji Zhong nodded: "Your Majesty, I have already counted it, and it is indeed 5000 million taels!"

"Hahahahaha! Good! Good!" Zhao Qi heard that he laughed again.

After laughing, he slapped the dragon chair heavily, and shouted: "Now that the national treasury is full, why should I, a big man, hesitate to fight! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections!"

All the courtiers looked at each other, and no one spoke anymore. Now that the treasury is full, there is no reason not to fight.

"Okay! All my lovers have no objection, so how can I allow Xiaoxiao to be rampant!" Zhao Qi raised his voice, and was about to issue orders and dispatch troops.

However, at this moment, Jia Jue stood up and said to Zhao Qi:
"Father, my son has something to say."

"you say!"

"My son thinks that there is no need to send troops."

what?
When everyone heard the words, they showed expressions of astonishment.
