Chapter 395 Money

But after two incense sticks, Marquis Xie came back, sat down and agreed to Ye Xiuwen's request, and asked again if he would not pursue other matters after paying the money.

Ye Xiuwen laughed: "The Xie family is nothing more than greedy for some money, and to supplement the households of the officials of the court, but they have not done any evil. The emperor's meaning is very simple, the treasury is empty, as long as Lord Xie takes the initiative to make up for it Just collect tax money and set an example for the rest of the states and counties."

Lord Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff back relaxed a little, and he heard Ye Xiuwen say: "However, these officials are still members of the court and the emperor's servants, Lord Xie should not get too close, a gentleman The friendship is as light as water, it's better to be lighter!"

Lord Xie closed his eyes, then nodded and said, "When will the tax money to be paid be sent to the capital?"

"Three days later, the prince will set off and be escorted back by the prince!"

"My lord escorted him? Lord Hou's contribution is too small!" Lord Xie looked at him with admiration.

Ye Xiuwen waved his hand indifferently, then lowered his voice and said, "After three days, the eldest son can go to the capital with him. Once the emperor is happy, the eldest son's position as the eldest son will also come down. Otherwise, in the future, the Marquis of the Xie family will I'm afraid it's hard to say."

"Thank you, nephew, I never thought that this money would allow the Xie family to be crowned son!" Marquis Xie shook his head and laughed. Hearing that his son was expected to be crowned son, he was completely relieved and was in the mood to joke with Ye Xiuwen.

"This reminder can be regarded as Xiuwen's repayment to Lord Hou and the princess for their hospitality to me and my wife. This is already an exception." Ye Xiuwen also said half-truthfully.

Marquis Xie was a little thankful that the previous matter had been messed up, otherwise he might be on the verge of riding a tiger now, and would annoy this evil star.

After thinking about it, he said again: "This sum of money is too much, we may not be able to get it together in three days."

"It doesn't matter, it's fine to divide it into three walks. The first walk is half, and then there is a memorial to explain that it will be completed in the spring next year. However, this matter needs to be done with great fanfare, so that those who are still waiting to see and think about it! If you still can't see the situation clearly, then you won't be as lucky as the Xie family."

Xie Hou Ye looked at Ye Xiuwen very speechless, sighed and said: "I heard the news from the capital, it is said that Cheng Enhou has no ability, just relying on the emperor's love, he takes the unicorn guard to show off his power all day long, and doesn't look down on anyone Now, in my opinion, this is not the case, Cheng Enhou and his wife are great talents, and they will have a bright future in the future."

"It's good to be able to share the worries of the emperor!" Ye Xiuwen knew that many people said that he was promoted by the emperor, and it didn't matter to him.

"I heard that Mrs. Cheng Enhou is going to do silk business?" Lord Xie Hou asked again.

"I also hope that Xie Houye will give you more pointers. In fact, she is not alone. Many people are involved in this. She is just a hard worker. Even the private treasury of the emperor and the empress needs to be taken care of by her firm. Are you tossing around? Otherwise, how much can the two of us eat? How much can we use?"

"What does Ye Hou mean, Madam is also helping the emperor?" Lord Xie Hou and Xie Zhu were both surprised. The emperor and the queen trust that woman so much?
"Mr. Xie Hou didn't even think about it. If there was no support, how could Zhuojing have achieved what he is doing in just a few years?"

It was right to think about it this way, and the Xie family father and son felt more at ease!
Ye Xiuwen said again: "Master Hou, Xiuwen is a junior, but there is one sentence that he wants to persuade Master Hou."

Lord Xie Hou said earnestly: "Ye Hou, please speak!"

"There is no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land."

Lord Xie was shocked, his pupils looking at Ye Xiuwen shrank violently, and his lips were also tightened.

He stood up and bowed to Ye Xiuwen. Ye Xiuwen hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hands to block Lord Hou's arm. He didn't let Lord Xie finish the salute, and said with a smile, "Master Hou is too polite!"

After Xie Houye sat down, he sighed: "Oh, the Xie family has been rich for too long, and I can't see the way forward. Yehou Dayi, saved our Xie family!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered Xie Zhu to dispatch money immediately, as long as there was more money, no less money.

After thinking about it, Lord Xie Hou said: "Ye Hou has helped Xie's family so much, I don't know what to thank you for?"

"It's easy to say!" Ye Xiuwen nodded, with a real smile in his eyes: "It's enough not to be married to Prince Qi's son."

Xie Houye did not expect this request, his eyes widened again: "You align with the king."

Ye Xiuwen didn't hide it: "How dare you forget the revenge of killing your father?"

"Speak carefully, Yehouye!" Xiehouye didn't expect Ye Xiuwen to be so arrogant, dare to say such words casually, Qi Wang is a prince!
"What are you afraid of? Everyone in the capital knows about my Ye family." Seeing Lord Xie was frightened, he smiled again: "I can't avenge me, so can't I add trouble?"

Xie Houye thought to himself, I heard that this kid brought people into Ninghou's mansion to arrest Hou Ye, that is the Empress Dowager's natal family, combined with his own family affairs, this kid is really brave, resourceful and courageous!
After carefully looking at Ye Xiuwen, Lord Xie Hou finally assured him: "Don't worry, Ye Hou, the Xie family will definitely not be married to Prince Qi's residence."

After finishing speaking, someone took Ye Xiuwen to rest, and when they left, he hurried to the courtyard of Mr. Xie Laohou, even the princess was waiting.

After he told about the fight between the two, Old Master Xie sighed: "The weather has changed, and the Xie family has to change their path in time. Let Yan'er go to the capital after three days!"

The princess sat on the side, not knowing whether she was old or tired, she looked extremely tired, and sighed: "It seems that I have to think about the marriage of a few children."

Early the next morning, Yin Tao bid farewell to the princess and left. When she went out, she saw that the carriages of the two carriages behind were full of presents. Yin Tao did not refuse and accepted it with a smile.

Ye Xiuwen got into the carriage and told Yin Tao about what happened last night, and Yin Tao also had a bottom line in her heart.

"The Xie family actually bribed so many officials secretly?" Yin Tao was startled.

"There is not much money, and I didn't use them to do too many things, and the emperor has just ascended the throne, it is impossible for the Xie family to act. Now the most urgent thing is to get money. The soldiers at the border do not have winter clothes, food, and salary. If foreigners come in How can you resist if you don’t have enough to eat?”

The emperor's grandfather was guarding outside, and the emperor naturally knew the situation better, so he was more anxious.

Ye Xiuwen said: "It's not stable here these days, there must be many people who come to see you and entertain you, it will be very annoying to stay, and the day to move the grave for burial is coming, so we can't leave everything to my elder brother and sister-in-law. , so I will take you to the pier now, the boat is ready, you go home first."

"Okay, you can come back quickly when the tax bank is on the boat." Yin Tao came for several days, and the two of them didn't even have a proper conversation. , Telling the sister-in-law about adopting Yu'er.

Ye Xiuwen just said that Yin Tao likes it, but when it comes to Yu'er's stupidity, both of them laughed.
