Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Damn it, he’s an old fox:

"Gao Aiqing, you have all misunderstood."

"I really didn't mean it that way."

"Although you veterans are already old, you can't even count the achievements you have made for our Song Dynasty."

"How could I remove all of you for no reason?"

"The reason why I did what I did just now is not that I don't value you."

"On the contrary, it was because I valued you too much that I did what I did just now."

"My dear friends, the set of geothermal equipment worth 500 taels we bought just now is really good."

"But if you, the important ministers of the court, use the same things as those of your beloved ministers, how can you show your status as important ministers of the court?"

"My dear friends, do you think I am right or not?"

The reason why Zhao Ji said this is because he has grasped the psychology of these old corrupt officials:

Why have you been greedy for so much money in your life?

Isn’t it just to enjoy a superior quality of life?

What does it mean to be superior to others?

That is, the food, clothing, clothing, and housing everywhere must be better than others!

And when Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and others listened to Zhao Ji's words.

Although his expression remained as normal, he was nodding secretly in his heart.

Anyway, for them, just a few hundred taels is not very expensive.

If they can use something much better than those ordinary officials, why wouldn't they use it?

Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Gao Qiu's face again:

"The official family is so kind that I will never forget it in this lifetime!"

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand to Gao Qiu:

"Don't do this."

"My dear friends, you have worked hard for me, the Song Dynasty, for decades."

"You deserve to be treated like this today."

"And among you, Cai Jing, who is the Grand Master, has contributed a lot to the country."

"So, when I asked the officials from the Ministry of Industry to prepare, I specially customized a geothermal system for Cai Aiqing."

"The name is Amber Gold Model!"

"There is only one geothermal system."

"It's specially prepared for Cai Aiqing."

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, all the envious eyes of civil and military officials in the court fell on Cai Jing.

At this moment, Cai Jing suddenly felt that his bones seemed to be two ounces lighter.

What does it mean to receive the emperor's favor alone?

What does it mean to have thousands of graces in one body?

I, Cai Jing, am not a typical representative of these words?

He glanced sideways and saw the extremely envious look that Wenwu was giving him.

In my heart, I can't help but feel very useful.

As for Zhao Ji, he had already anticipated the reaction of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

So right now, there isn't much difference in his face.

Instead, he continued to speak:

"And Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other dear friends."

"Although his contribution to the country is far less than that of Cai Aiqing, he is still an indispensable talent for our Song Dynasty."

"Even so, the customized geothermal system prepared for you is also indispensable."

"So I also specially ordered the officials of the Ministry of Industry to prepare a set accordingly for you."

"Amber and silver model!"

"Although such an amber and silver model is not as luxurious as Cai Aiqing's, it is still extremely valuable."

"In addition, I have also specially prepared gold geothermal models for the remaining fifteen lovers."

"Although its appearance is a bit worse than the previous two sets, in terms of overall senses, it is also extremely gorgeous."

After Zhao Ji introduced the geothermal system specially provided for them to twenty officials.

The twenty officials all kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Ji.

The shouts of long live in his mouth are endless.

But until these officials planned to take out their pockets to pay...

Their actions were suddenly interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"My dear friends, those few hundred taels of silver are not enough."

After hearing this, Cai Jing and others couldn't help but look at each other.

After a long pause, he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair:

"Officials, but those colleagues just spent 500 taels of silver to buy that set of geothermal equipment."

"Why is it that when we, the old ministers, come here, it doesn't work anymore?"

Zhao Ji shook his head and smiled. When he looked at Cai Jing and others, his eyes were full of helplessness:

"Cai Aiqing, what your colleagues just purchased is just one of the most mediocre geothermal systems among many."

"How can something like that be worthy of the status of you senior officials?"

"And I asked the officials from the Ministry of Industry to customize the geothermal systems for you senior officials. No matter which one they have, they are much better than their ordinary ones."

"In this case, the cost of iron materials, labor costs, etc., will it be higher?"

"So dear dears, the mere few hundred taels of silver that you just took out are really not enough."

Cai Jing and others looked at each other.

Suddenly, I felt in my heart that what Zhao Qi said was quite reasonable.

So, he hurriedly bowed to Zhao Jishen and asked:

"Then I would like to ask the officials, how much are the various types of geothermal systems purchased by our veterans?"

But seeing Zhao Ji, he frowned at first, and after thinking for a long time, he revealed the following price:

"The price of each piece of this most noble amber gold model is only 10 taels of silver."

"As for the amber silver and gold models that are worse than this, they are sold for 6 taels of silver and 2 taels of silver respectively."

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, the whole hall was stunned.

Because all the civil and military officials present, no matter how they guessed or thought, they absolutely couldn't believe it.

This price is so ridiculously expensive.

The so-called top-grade geothermal system that Cai Jing and others obtained was so expensive.

For a moment, Cai Jing and others were at a loss.

After a long pause, Tong Guan walked out of the queue with an aggrieved face.

Facing Zhao Ji, he cried repeatedly:

"Officials, don't look at us veterans who are in high positions."

"But there really aren't many taels of silver left in that mansion."

"So, is the selling price a bit too high?"

But as soon as Tong Guan finished speaking, Zhao Ji took advantage of the situation and continued:

"Really?"

"But a few days ago, I heard something from a minister in the court."

"He has also seen that your mansion received many gifts of money and silk from other colleagues."
