Chapter 183 What's in it for me?
Chapter 183 What's in it for me?
It's really useless to keep Mei Yuan in my hands. It's really annoying and disturbing to have several women fighting for her.
"Why, aren't you afraid that others will make things difficult for you two?"
"Fortunately, I'm not afraid. As for Little Black Charcoal, he seems even less afraid."
Indeed, that is a brave one. Humph, don’t you want it?
I will grant your wish. Whether you can hold on depends on your own abilities.
As for making a lot of money, I don't believe it. The relationships in the capital are complicated and there is no restaurant without a backing force.
It is not easy to snatch food from the mouths of those old forces.
Still a child, still too young.
Since they have plenty of money, just do whatever they want. It's not my money they're wasting anyway.
Humph, even Little Black Charcoal is richer than me, the emperor!
"If I don't agree, what do you plan to do with this five-story house, Little Black Charcoal?"
"Your Majesty, Xiao Heitan asked me to sell it for him. He only wants 5% of the transaction price, and the rest belongs to me as my hard work fee."
Haha, he thought of several solutions to one thing. He is a smart guy, but also a generous person.
The hard work fee is quite high, and I am tempted when I heard it.
"If I agree, are there any other benefits?"
This question stumped the young prince. He thought and thought but couldn't figure it out. He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Suddenly I thought of the watch. "Oh, Xiao Heitan said that he would give you a watch after the end. Is that a favor?"
"What is a watch?"
"Your Majesty, take a look, this is specially used to tell time." He took the watch off his wrist and held it in front of the emperor.
"It now shows 5:30, which means it's just the You hour, 30 minutes have passed."
"One hour, a total of two 60 minutes. Now it's halfway through one 60 minutes. It's more accurate to tell the time this way."
“……” The official only half understood what he saw. After all, he had never seen these numbers before and didn’t know what they meant specifically.
"Little Black Charcoal, how can there be such a wonderful thing?"
“I haven’t asked him about this. He’s the one who can say it, and I didn’t ask about the one who can’t say it.
I don’t care where he got it from, as long as he remembers to give me a portion of the good stuff when he has it, that’s enough. I recognize this brother.”
The young prince said happily.
Damn it, brother, I am a girl, okay? And a little flower with thorns.
You are such a fool, you know nothing, and all you keep asking about my little black brother all day long.
snort!
Although they didn't quite understand it, the officials also understood one thing, that is, this is a very practical and good thing.
Then he asked, "When will this piece for me be delivered?"
When it is delivered, study it slowly by yourself and you will eventually understand it.
"Little Black Charcoal has been living outside the city recently. He entered the city temporarily today and didn't have time to get it. I guess he will bring it over in the next two days."
"Your Majesty, do you agree to sell Plum Garden to us?"
"Well, I've agreed to this. If the business doesn't go well later on, don't come to me to cry."
To be honest, this little black charcoal is somewhat lucky for himself.
By some strange coincidence, you can always help me. It's just a garden, and they have paid for it. Why should I disagree?
Now that I think about it, Concubine Ji has hinted to me many times before, both explicitly and covertly, just to make me soften my heart and voluntarily give the garden to her.
I just don't agree with you.
If you have the guts, go and cause trouble for the Little Prince and Little Black Charcoal.
I also want to see what will happen if your Prime Minister Ji and his family face off against the two of them?
Why do I feel that Prime Minister Ji may not be able to gain the upper hand?
I don't know why, but my intuition tells me that Little Black Charcoal will not suffer any loss.
This little fellow has no one to rely on, and the only one he can depend on is me.
Although small, he is very wise.
He is considered a useful person!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The young prince took out the stack of banknotes and the house deed and handed them over.
The official took the banknote, looked at it, put it away, and pushed the house deed back.
"You should sell this deed for me. Of course, you have to give me the full amount. I don't have 5% of the hard work fee for you to earn."
Let the people from the Ministry of Revenue sell it, and the money will go into the national treasury.
Only by selling it privately can it be put into my own private treasury. I am poor.
"Mo Chi obeys your order!" the young prince responded happily.
"Eunuch De?"
"The slave is here!"
"Pass on my order and have the person in charge of this area in the Ministry of Revenue give the title deed of Plum Garden to the young prince. From now on, Plum Garden belongs to the young prince!"
"The slave obeys the order!"
The official said to Mo Chi again, "Go, follow the eunuch and take your house deed!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Mo Chi will take his leave!" After paying his respects, Mo Chi followed Eunuch De with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, the government agreed as Xiao Heitan expected, and he was so happy.
Eunuch De could not calm down for a long time. He always felt that the emperor was particularly easy to talk to when talking to the young prince and this guy called Xiao Heitan.
Meiyuan said it was sold and it was sold.
If it was really so easy to sell, those people in the harem wouldn't have made such a mess.
It seems that this guy named Xiao Heitan holds a special place in the government's heart.
It is extremely rare for the government to remember him again and again and be willing to accommodate him.
He also mentioned the position of Little Heitan in his heart.
As a qualified servant, if you want to think what your master wants, you must walk ahead of your master.

Shen Ruyi went straight back to the inner courtyard and decided to bring Nanny and Changle to the city tomorrow to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.
By the way, take Changle out for a stroll and see the world.
Shen Ruyi chose to release a batch of flowers.
Everything was placed in the Changle Room, which had a stove so it was warmer.
There are several pots of gardenias. Shen Ruyi especially likes the fragrance of gardenias. It smells particularly good, with a faint fragrance. It has two kinds of buds, one is as white as jade, and the other is light yellow, both of which are very fragrant.
This flower is hard to grow.
He was particularly picky about the region, but fortunately, Shen Ruyi finally figured it out recently. The latitude of the current capital is similar to that of Chang'an in later generations.
As for longitude, it is still unclear.
Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to support them.
There are also several pots of peonies. The ancients seemed to love peonies very much and thought they were elegant and luxurious.
Poems like "Only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital city is moved when it blooms" and "The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble beauty, and the spring breeze blows against the threshold, and the dew on the flowers is gorgeous" all describe the peony.
It can be seen how much the ancients loved them. It is also the representative of rich flowers in the world.
The peonies in Shen Ruyi's space are all from Luoyang and Heze, some of which are black.
To be honest, this color was the first time Shen Ruyi saw real ones, and it was really shocking.
I bought it blindly at that time, who knew that the buyer would be so reliable.
There are also flowers as big as bowls.
However, Shen Ruyi picked out the most inconspicuous and common variety and released it. The pink petals looked noble and luxurious.
