Chapter 55: Your Majesty's Holy Spirit

Zhang Jing calmed down and faced the anxious Emperor Aoki.

Then he calmly said: "Your Majesty, I don't owe money."

“No money owed…”

This guy wants to be stolen?

Wei Zhongxian, who was beside him, nodded secretly, "Good boy, I like him, I am a fellow disciple."

Emperor Aoki frowned.

Although everyone outside calls him a foolish monarch, he is not very bad at being a human being.

"It is natural to pay back debts."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but say, "But... the money has been paid back."

"I'm back..." Emperor Tianqi's eyes were straight.

Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Yes, I have already paid it back. I originally owed 47,000 taels of debt. I have raised it at noon today and immediately asked someone to pay it back. I... cannot owe the debt, but once I owe it, I feel uncomfortable all over and have to try my best to pay it back."

Wei Zhongxian: “…”

Forty-seven thousand taels, just pay it back?

Of course, Emperor Tianqi looked unbelievable. At this time, he became a little angry: "This is deceiving the king and the emperor. Just tell me the truth. If you dare to deceive me, I will not help you pay off your debt!"

Help me pay off my debt?

Zhang Jing looked at Emperor Aoki in shock.

He didn't expect that Emperor Apocalypse actually had this idea.

"Your Majesty, I not only pay off the foreign debt, but also have some ample money on hand, so I want to pay your Majesty's patent fee as well as the silver... I have already brought it, so I would like to accept it with you."

Patent fees?

Huang Liji and others only felt that Zhang Jingyi was making a fool of himself.

But Emperor Tianqi also found it funny, and he raised his voice and said, "Okay, come here to see if you take the money."

"Just outside the West Garden, I have handed it over to the guards. As long as the Majesty summons, they will bring the money in."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help laughing: "Come on, then move the silver in."

Emperor Tianqi felt that Zhang Jingyi's temperament was a bit bad. If you want to do good deeds, I support you. Even if you don't know how to manage, I can understand it.

After all, you are still young! But you are still lying to me at such a young age, so there is a problem.

Let’s take a look today, where he created money for me and how could he pay back the debt?

Emperor Tianqi sat down steadily, picked up the teacup on the imperial desk, and took a sip.

The eunuch hurried to report, but when Zhang Jing saw that everyone was still looking at him with a strange look, which made him very unnatural.

Although I, Zhang, are handsome, but you guys... you are men, please respect yourself!

However... what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

First of all, Zhang Jingyi lied.

The money was not moved.

Instead, more than a dozen guards were carrying the load panting.

This real money was actually carried with a shoulder pole.

In an instant, the white silver blinded everyone's eyes.

Emperor Tianqi was stunned when he looked at the various ingots and silver piled up in the baskets in front of him.

I’m afraid the money in front of me is less than ten thousand taels!

Emperor Tianqi was still a little unbelievable. He subconsciously supported his body and made him stand up. Then he moved his legs and moved his body to the edge of the silver basket. He took a piece of silver and weighed it. The weight... was no different from the silver.

He didn't give up, so he threw the silver block to the ground.

After a muffled sound, silver pieces rolled on the ground.

This sound...is exactly the same as real silver.

How is that possible?

He, Zhang Jingyi, is a robber?

So, Emperor Tianqi took out another silver ingot, and he was like a devil, and he didn't care about his image and bit it. The ingot immediately left two tooth marks, and there was obviously no trace of lead filling inside.

real!

Emperor Apocalypse was dumbfounded: "Who did you rob?"

Huang Liji couldn't sit still anymore, and wandered around a silver basket, making a sound from his mouth.

Wei Zhongxian weighed his feet and his eyes were straightened.

Rob?

Zhang Jing said in his heart, I am such a person? I have a style.

"Your Majesty, this is earned from doing business."

"What are you buying and robbing and making money?"

“Selling shops.”

"Selling a shop?"

The palace was silent, four or five pairs of eyes staring at Zhang Jingyi, wishing to peel Zhang Jingyi alive at this time and directly peek at the secret in Zhang Jingyi's heart.

Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Thanks to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise and skillful. If it weren't for Your Majesty, you would really be ready to go begging for food."

"Is I so powerful?" After Emperor Tianqi said this, he suddenly felt abrupt.

No, I am the emperor. Even if I know what I am, I still want face. So I coughed and said, "Don't flatter you and talk about serious matters."

"This is really closely related to Your Majesty." Zhang Jing said with a sincere look: "If Your Majesty had not improved the textile machine, the low-key cotton cloth would not be able to reduce the cost. It is precisely because the cost of cotton cloth is reduced that low-key can sell cheap cotton cloth. The low-key cotton cloth is cheap, and the low-key shops will be crowded and attract a large amount of passenger flow."

"Visit flow?" Emperor Tianqi still found it incredible.

Does the flow of tourists mean that there are too many people? But what does it have to do with making money?

Zhang Jing said, "Yes, because there are too many people, Qingpingfang has also flourished. What's important is, Your Majesty, you said it was a coincidence that I bought all the nearly 1,000 acres of land nearby half a month ago."

Is it really such a "coin"?

Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "There is a market where there is a prosperous place, and if you can do some business there, even if you don't make a fortune, you will not lose money. So you humblely take out the first two hundred acres of land and plan four or five hundred shops... and sell it. The merchants responded very well. I think it was because Humilius was friendly and kind to me. These merchants were so popular for my name.

They came to buy it, and all of them were sold out in one go! In this day, they made a net profit of 80,000 taels of silver. Husband was a person who kept his promises and asked the buyer to go home to get the money. When the shop arrived, he immediately asked someone to pay back the money first, and he still had 20,000 to 30,000 taels left. As the saying goes, drinking water and thinking about the source, Husband was really grateful to His Majesty for improving the spinning machine. Therefore, he brought this 10,000 taels of silver. Please don’t dislike him.”

Is it really related to me?

Selling shops can actually make so much money.

Emperor Aoki felt stars appearing in his eyes.

Emperor Apocalypse quickly noticed something: "What do you mean is that you sell cotton cloth at a cheap price to attract customers?"

"This is just one of them. The main thing is to do good deeds. Now, the cold land is frozen today, and the people do not have clothes to keep warm, so they will freeze to the streets. I have looked at it. In recent years, almost every winter in the capital, there are as many as a thousand people who have frozen on the streets. If it is because of the cheap cotton cloth, even if it can save ten or eight people from the pain of freezing and frostbite, I will be relieved."

Actually, this is the truth.

Zhang Jingyi really couldn't stand the people on the streets.

As for those who buy shops, they only invest money. Anyway, merchants have money, so they just think that Zhang Jingyi takes their money and does some good deeds.

Emperor Tianqi and others were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that there would be such an operation in this world.

It costs 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver a day.

He actually stocked up thousands of acres of land.

I sold more than 200 acres in the first phase...

If I had known this, I would have been scolded by all officials. Under tremendous pressure, why should I send so many eunuchs to collect mining taxes?

Emperor Aoki's eyes suddenly became hot.

He smiled and said, "Haha, so that's it. I thought... you are a prodigal son. Who would have expected that you have such ability? Just now, the Qing family was still saying that you can't take on the big responsibility. Is this money really given to me?"

Huang Liji and others suddenly blushed, maintaining a stiff smile, and continuing to forcefully calm down.

However, Wei Zhongxian seemed to be eight feet thick in his face, and he still smiled brightly, as if he was really relieved by His Majesty and Zhang Jingyi.
