Chapter 120 I've Learned
"Your Highness, I am willing to donate another 5,000 taels of gold!" Xun Ziqi, the prefect of Nancheng, said first.
"I am also willing to donate another 5,000 taels of gold!" Han Yuzhi, the prefect of Dongcheng, said immediately.
He originally wanted to say ten thousand.
"I am also willing to donate another 5,000 taels of gold!" Xicheng Prefecture Governor Zhao Wenyuan followed closely behind.
thump!
Li Shigeng, the commander-in-chief of the Wucheng Military Command, also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I can donate another 5,000 taels of gold."
thump!
The Imperial Capital Governor, Cai Jinyu, also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate another 10,000 taels of gold. Although it is difficult, I will definitely complete it even if I have to borrow money or pawn things!"
Qin Zheng looked at him. The old man really knew how to talk.
At this time, Guo Pingxi and Qu Zhengzhuo looked at each other. Others had doubled their money, so they couldn't be so stingy!
"Your Highness, I am willing to donate another fifty thousand taels of gold!" Guo Ping said, bowing. He was cautious, wanting to test the princess's bottom line.
"How much?" Xia Mo Ning was already stunned by Cai Jinyu and the others' lavish spending. My goodness, they're all so rich?
I thought it was just a scare and that was it, but I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.
Are they so rich?
That's gold!
What was even more surprising was that Guo Pingxi actually donated another 50,000 taels of gold!
Xia Mo Ning was surprised, and Guo Pingxi thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess thought it was too little.
He quickly feigned embarrassment and said, "I know the treasury is empty and much needs to be rebuilt. Your Majesty and the Princess have worked tirelessly for the country and the people. I am ashamed that I have not been able to share your worries. When I return, I will sell everything I have and pawn everything I own to raise two hundred thousand taels of gold as a token of my loyalty!"
Xia Mo Ning cursed in her heart, Damn it, you bunch of parasites!
"Your Highness, they really tried their best!" Qin Zheng advised.
As he said this, he glanced at Qu Zhengzhuo.
Qu Zhengzhuo quickly bowed and said, "I have also donated two hundred thousand taels of gold, all for the sake of our country!"
Seeing this, Xia Mo Ning was about to nod in agreement. She believed that her sister would be delighted to death.
But he saw Qin Zheng's eyes.
She has also been in contact with Qin Zheng for a few months. Although she is not as tacitly acquainted with Qin Zheng as Su Xiaoman, Wu Xiaoyou and others, she can also understand Qin Zheng's eyes.
He said with a straight face, "I have no say. I will report it to my sister."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Get up!" Qin Zheng said to Cai Jinyu and others who were still kneeling.
Several people then stood up.
"Lord Qin..." Xun Ziqi was still very worried.
What he is afraid of now is that the empress will not give Qin Zheng face and will punish him severely.
Qin Zheng said: "My Lords, Qin Zheng will do his utmost to make this happen."
Without waiting for them to speak, Qin Zheng continued, "Since this is your first visit to our palace, I should have hosted a banquet to entertain you. However, I still need to see the Emperor. So, please wait here for a while until I return!"
Who's in the mood to stay here and drink?
It’s not like I haven’t eaten or seen it before.
They all said goodbye.
Qin Zheng personally escorted them out of the mansion and watched them get into the car and leave.
Demonstrate the true meaning of being a teacher to the fullest!
Guo Pingxi ordered the coachman to catch up with Qu Zhengzhuo's carriage.
The two carriages were traveling side by side.
"Sir Qu, have we been deceived by Qin Zheng and the princess?" Guo Pingxi lifted the curtain and asked across the carriage.
Qu Zhengzhuo snorted coldly, "I've seen through their double act for a long time. So what? Without bleeding, you won't make it through today!"
Guo Pingxi nodded. "Everyone says Qin Zheng is cunning and a plague. Today, I've learned my lesson!"
Qu Zhengzhuo snorted again.
Guo Pingxi asked, "Master Qu, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
Qu Zhengzhuo glanced at Guo Pingxi and said, "I don't know why the Prime Minister is so close to Qin Zheng! Otherwise, do you think I would really be willing to give up 200,000 taels of gold?"
After saying this, he lowered the curtains and told the coachman to ride away at full speed.
Guo Pingxi looked at the back of Qu Zhengzhuo's carriage and muttered to himself, "What on earth is the Prime Minister up to?"
In the study of the Young Master's Mansion, Xia Mo Ning was overjoyed: "Master, you are so talented!"
Qin Zheng, however, was not very happy: "Cheng Lanzhou didn't show up. He dropped out of school!"
Xia Mo Ning stopped smiling and frowned, saying, "After all, he is the son of the King of the Northern Territory. You can't touch him!"
Suddenly he looked at Qin Zheng worriedly: "Master, given the temperaments of father and son, they will definitely not let this go!"
Qin Zheng said indifferently: "I'm just afraid that they won't attack me."
"Master, what do you want to do?" Xia Mo Ning knew that her master was very cunning.
Qin Zheng said, "It depends on how they attack. Then we can make a decision."
Xia Mo Ning thought it made sense and asked, "Master, is the project funding sufficient this time?" Qin Zheng smiled bitterly, "It's enough for the department store. But it's still far from enough to develop North City!" Xia Mo Ning was also worried: "Master, what should we do? My sister is worried too!"
Qin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Mo Ning, tell me, if I were to celebrate my birthday, how many people would come to support me?"
Xia Mo Ning was stunned: "Birthday?"
Qin Zheng explained: "It's the year."
Xia Mo Ning understood and said with a wry smile: "Master, there should be no one else except me!"
Qin Zheng: “…”
My old face turned red!
"Sir, it's still early for your birthday!" At this time, Su Xiaoman came in to change the tea and heard it.
Qin Zheng said, "They don't know when I was born. I can have a birthday party anytime. But, it can only be twice a year."
"Hey!"
"Giggle..."
Xia Mo Ning and Su Xiao Man both laughed out loud.
Su Xiaoman looked at the adult speechlessly: "My lord, birthdays only come once a year, how can there be two?"
Qin Zheng said seriously: "I am the golden boy under the seat of Guanyin. I live once in the world and once in the underworld!"
Xia Mo Ning and Su Xiao Man were quite speechless. The adults were really trying their best to raise money.
Xia Mo Ning said, "Master, even if you come eight times a year, someone has to come!"
Qin Zheng's eyes were deep. "If they don't come, I can go and invite them myself, right? Even if they don't come, I still have to give them the gift money, right?"
"what?"
"Is this okay?"
Xia Mo Ning and Su Xiao Man were dumbfounded!
Xia Mo Ning was not optimistic: "Master, some people can't afford to lose face. But some people are stingy."
Qin Zheng nodded: "Your reminder is good. This matter still requires the Prime Minister's cooperation!"
Xia Mo Ning was speechless: "Will he cooperate with you?"
Qin Zheng was very confident: "At worst, I can cooperate with him, add 20% and 10% to make it 50%, and his profit will be counted as investment..."
Xia Mo Ning and Su Xiao Man were in a mess. Lord Qin really did everything he could to make money!
Qin Zheng said, "Mo Ning, I'm going to the palace to see the emperor. Do you want to go?"
Xia Mo Ning was stunned: "You really went? Aren't you trying to trick them?"
Qin Zheng said, "There are some things I also need to discuss with His Majesty."
"Then go ahead. I won't go back to report!" Xia Mo Ning was happy and pulled Su Xiaoman away.
"Xiao Man, I heard the dumplings you make are delicious. I want to eat some!"
Su Xiaoman smiled happily: "Okay, okay, my parents really like eating the dumplings I make..."
Qin Zheng: “…”
"Report!"
Just then, a special agent came to report.
"What's the matter?" Qin Zheng asked.
Special Agent: "Your Excellency, the cement raw material mine has been found."
Qin Zheng was overjoyed: "Good. That's great!"
Xia Mo Ning was puzzled: "What mine?"
Su Xiaoman said: "It is one of the materials for our Hongtong County asphalt road!"
Xia Mo Ning exclaimed: "That stuff is called cement, is there enough? First, make this palace's yard into an asphalt road."
Qin Zheng asked Teqin: "How much is the reserve?"
Special Forces: "Not much, it should be enough to build the Emperor."
Qin Zheng's expression suddenly changed.
Damn, I didn't tell the Empress about the survey of cement raw material mines...
This is Daqian's mineral...
