Chapter 113 Prestige? Notoriety?
Xue Wanche is a very sensible person. Since he has decided to surrender, it would be too stupid to be reserved.
It’s better to just accept your head and bow to leave a good impression. In this way, you will have to die and not let yourself go.
Seeing Xue Wanche fall, Mo Zizai shook his head and said, "Mr. Xue, don't be so polite. What happened before, and what will happen in the future will be like."
"If I have something to do, I will naturally send someone to notify you at that time. Don't pay too much attention to etiquette, I won't care about these things."
"Yes, Prince."
Xue Wanche agreed on the surface, but he sneered at Mo Zizai's words in his heart and didn't care about these things. I don't know your Mo family, and each one is more cautious than the other.
I was almost promoted, but why was I held the position of the Tianjing Weishou for so many years? Isn’t it because I had a conflict with Zhou Qi because of the mission, and I beat Zhou Qi up, but I was secretly ordered by you not to be promoted.
Then, after all, you finally got over the dead. Thinking that you could finally make a comeback, you quickly walked through the Ministry of Personnel and wanted to raise it up. As a result, all the money was spent. The Ministry of Personnel agreed. He was planning to hold an promotion meeting within the Tianjing Guard to make some money, but there was no result.
The Ministry of Personnel simply stopped believing it, and there was no news about promotions or transfers, just as if he had never spent money.
He was so angry that he ran to the person who took his money to ask for an explanation. But the person told him that the promotion had been arranged, but when he was appointed, the empress personally suppressed it.
Therefore, there is no need to mention the promotion anymore. The little money he gave was not enough for the people of the Ministry of Personnel to fight against the empress. As for the money he bribed, the personnel affairs had been done. Although it was not done, it had nothing to do with people, so naturally it was not returned to him.
After spending a lot of money, Xue Wanche felt that he was in the original Tianjing Weishou.
Therefore, Mo Zizai now said that he didn't care about these things. He didn't even believe a word, and he didn't care about it. Before saying this, please ask me and your wife first?
Mo Zizai didn't care what Xue Wanche was thinking. He wanted Xue Wanche to go back first, but when he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
After a while, he tapped the table with his fingers and said to Xue Wanche: "Mr. Xue, I suddenly remembered that there was something that you might need to do."
There was something to do as soon as he surrendered? Xue Wanche was stunned for a moment, but he had no intention of refusing, "Prince, please give me instructions."
"You ask the people from Tianjingwei to go to the homes of those big merchants one by one to ask them to raise funds."
After saying that, Mo Zizai paused for a moment, and then continued to add: "As for the name of fundraising, just say...just..."
Mo Zizai had only been there for a long time, and suddenly he didn't know what name to use to ask these merchants to raise funds. If it were originally, it could be said that the border was in a hurry and the treasury was empty.
But now, two corrupt officials have been raided and so many blackmailed in the court, the treasury is no longer empty. Besides, if the treasury is empty, let alone those merchants, he doesn't even believe it himself.
But what can I say if I don’t say that the treasury is empty? He didn’t invite them to marry the empress. He couldn’t ask them for money for money. The food was so ugly. If that were the case, it would be better to lead troops to snatch people.
Seeing that Mo Zizai stayed there for a long time without any further information, Jia Fu, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Prince, do you want those merchants to get some blood, or do you have other plans?"
"It's not to let them bleed."
Hearing Jia Fu's question, Mo Zizai shook his head. Businessmen are different from officials. They rarely hide most of their property in their homes like officials. They use money to do business. Therefore, most of their property is liquid capital. Even big businessmen who claim to be worth over 10 million yuan, the gold and silver they really own at most are only one million, and the rest are some industries and goods.
Even if they are forced to bleed, they can't squeeze out much, so it's better to just copy them all.
But being a businessman is not a sin, and there are not no patriotic people among the merchants. What's more, even if Mo Zizai plans to urge the merchants to do things, he will not be able to kill them all. If they are killed, the capital city will be in chaos immediately without the merchants.
So Mo Zizai wanted to use the simple and crude method of fundraising to distinguish between those who are willing to pay for the Dazhou and those who are unwilling to pay for the Dazhou.
Although this kind of screening method is definitely not completely accurate and there will be many mistakes and omissions, Mo Zizai has no choice. Yuzhishi used to focus on officials. For those merchants, Yuzhishi will know at most how much money they have. Yuzhishi has never understood other things like character, so he can only use this stupid method.
But what Mo Zizai didn't expect was that this stupid method was stuck in the first step.
After listening to Mo Zizai's story, Xue Wanche was a little shocked. He didn't expect that he had just boarded Mo Zizai's big ship. Mo Zizai was going to play so big. He wanted to advise him, but he had just surrendered and it was a bit inappropriate to object now, so he had to turn his attention to Zhou Qi, hoping that he could speak a few words.
Zhou Qi's expression was also quite surprised. When Mo Zizai told him that he wanted to move a businessman, he thought that Mo Zizai was just talking about grain merchants, but now he heard what Mo Zizai said, was he planning to catch all the merchants in one place?
Only Jia Fu, with no look of surprise on his face, looked as if Mo Zizai was taking whatever he did for granted, and he was thinking about a solution for Mo Zizai. After a while, Jia Fu looked up at Mo Zizai and asked, "Prince, if you want to raise funds, who are you going to raise funds in whose name do you plan to raise funds?"
"In your name, or in your Majesty's name?"
"Of course it's in her name."
Mo Zizai said complacently: "If I go to raise funds in my name, who dares not give me money?"
"That's right, who dares to disobey the prince's reputation?"
Jia Fu also had a proud look on his face, and he was obviously very proud of his prince's "fame".
Looking at the proud master and servant, Xue Wanche couldn't help but be confused. He suddenly felt that he was a little sloppy in tying himself to Mo Zizai's chariot. He should have been considering before he decided.
Is that what you are outside called famous? Is that called infamous? And it is the kind that is famous for its reputation.
Is there anything to be proud of for such a bad reputation? Is it because you two have a problem or me?
