Chapter 166 Borrowing a Horse
Mo Zizai didn't know that Qian Min and Zhao Boyang were already secretly planning to plot against him. At this time, he was watching the total amount of the house search in the royal palace with dissatisfaction.
"More than a hundred big merchants, plus more than a dozen huge merchants, have copied more than 20 million taels?"
Mo Zizai threw the calculated accounts aside and said with some complaints: "This businessman is not good. Just this little money, and it's not enough to copy the two ministers. They are too embarrassed by the businessman's face, right?"
"The prince is too proud of these merchants by comparing the minister to these merchants."
Hearing Mo Zizai's complaint, Jia Fu replied with a smile: "Although these merchants seem to make money, in fact, it would be nice if they could get two of the money they earned in ten."
"In a word they often say is that county officials want money, but now they need money. If you want to do business well, you don't need to manage any of them."
"And the higher the official position, the more money they can spend. After a round of processing, the money they earn will basically be almost gone."
After hearing what Jia Fu said, Mo Zizai felt that there was some truth. After all, doing business in this era is different from previous lives. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you want to do business, it would be fine if you don’t make money. Once you make money and you don’t have enough money, then you can wait for bad luck.
The county magistrate who destroyed the family and the prefect who destroyed the family are not just a casual statement. It is too easy for an official to control a businessman. It doesn’t take much effort to destroy your family.
Therefore, most businessmen in this era choose to rely on officials or families and choose to use them as their backers.
But even so, when they go elsewhere to do business, they have to manage some local officials. After all, the officials they rely on say they are backers, but in fact they just use money to ask them to borrow their identities. If they really encounter someone who is not giving face, they will only keep the name of the person in their hearts, and they will most likely not care about this kind of thing.
"It's very difficult for them to survive in the cracks." Mo Zizai sighed slightly in his heart, and then said, "I am still kind-hearted, and I will directly avoid their troubles of survival in the cracks."
“This is nature.”
Jia Fu echoed without hesitation: "The prince is the most charitable person in the world. It is a blessing they have cultivated for eight lifetimes."
“…”
Chen Ying, who was standing by waiting, felt helpless when he heard this conversation. In order not to let people survive, he killed the person directly. The prince is really one of the rare "good charity" in the world.
Mo Zizai was a little embarrassed when he heard Jia Fu's echo, so he brags about it casually. Unexpectedly, Jia Fu took it seriously. He didn't know how to listen to his tone and really thought he was a great charity.
"Ahem~"
Mo Zizai coughed a little embarrassedly, then said, "Chen Ying, go and put all the money into the treasury."
After Chen Ying took the order, Mo Zizai began to think about the gains this time in his heart.
The cash cash copied this time was only more than 20 million taels, but real estate, business, shops, etc. were of high value. If converted at normal market prices, these things would be worth at least 40 to 50 million taels.
But these things are of no use to Mo Zizai. What he needs is cash currency. These things that cannot be cashed in a short period of time are not of much use to him.
"This time, plus the remaining 30 million taels last time, there is almost 50 million taels. It takes more than 30 million taels to be upgraded to level 6. If it is charged, there will only be more than 20 million taels left."
"After all, do you want to recharge?"
Mo Zizai felt a little troubled. If he recharged, he would have only more than 20 million taels left, the money might not be enough.
But if you don't have enough money, you'll finally get enough money. If you spend this money, you'll want to get enough money next time, and I don't know when it will be time.
After hesitating for a long time, Mo Zizai decided to recharge!!!
After all, his biggest reliance now is the Yuzhi Army and the 30,000 Yulin Army. As for other things, no matter how good he does, it is not enough to become his reliance, so he should first improve the level of the accelerator.
Since he had made a decision, Mo Zizai stopped hesitating and said directly to Jia Fu: "Jia Fu, you can choose some reliable people and replace the people from the Office of the Internal Affairs. You must ensure that no matter what happens in the Office of the Internal Affairs, no one will reveal it. Do you understand?"
Thirty million taels of silver are not a small amount. If it disappears out of thin air, I am afraid that no matter how much he hides it, it will be noticed, so it is better to just replace it with a reliable person to guard it.
When Jia Fu was stunned for a moment when he heard Mo Zizai say he wanted to change the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he quickly reacted, "I understand, I will make arrangements now."
"Um."
Mo Zizai nodded slightly. Jia Fu was extremely steadily doing things. If he did this, there would definitely be no problems.
Not long after Jia Fu went out, Zhou Qi, arranged by the Yuzhi Army, was driven back, and told Mo Zizai about Yang Yanzhang's military reform.
"It's okay, let him go."
Mo Zizai waved his hand unconsciously, "He is a person taught by my father. I think he must have outstanding military prominence, so just leave the Yuzhi Army to him for trouble, so let's not worry."
"I understand." Zhou Qi bowed slightly and asked again: "When I came down, Yang Yanzhang asked me to ask the prince when the war horses could be sent to them."
"He means that the sooner the better, the earlier the delivery, the sooner the Yuzhi Army will be familiar with the way of fighting in the cavalry."
"War Horse, this thing is really unavailable for a while."
Mo Zizai thought for a moment, then said, "I have it, I will borrow two thousand from the Yulin Army first. Anyway, they can't use it now. At worst, we can return it to them when we buy it."
"What... can the Yulin Army do?"
Zhou Qi hesitated a little. War horses are the lifeblood of cavalry. Will the Yulin Army lend it easily?
"It's okay, it's enough to ask Weiyi to issue an order directly." Mo Zizai directly pointed this matter on Tang Weiyi, "I don't believe that the emperor dared not to give it to them if he borrowed war horses from them."
"Besides, we are not going to pay it back. When the war horse we bought arrives, we will give it back to them. I think they will not be so stingy."
“…”
Zhou Qi was a little helpless. This was not a stingy problem. The war horses in the cavalry were like swords in the hands of swordsmen. Zhou Qi didn't know what the cavalry thought of borrowing war horses, but he knew that if someone wanted to borrow the sword in his hands, he would probably want to cut people.
However, since Mo Zizai said to borrow the Empress's name, he wouldn't say anything. If the Empress really issued an order to borrow a war horse, even if she wanted to cut down people, he could only endure the lent his sword.
