The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.
Chapter 16 The Dowry Is Too Much
"Okay, since you know, go to the warehouse now. I'll assign you another hundred soldiers to help you empty the warehouse for me."
"If you can empty the warehouse within one day, I will make you a prince. What do you think?"
Ning Yuanwu said coldly.
"Ah! Father, you......"
Ning Jun was stunned!
"What's wrong? Are you having any difficulties?" Ning Yuanwu raised his eyebrows.
"Father, the warehouse is so huge, how can I empty it in one day?"
Ning Jun swallowed and said tremblingly.
"Heh... You know you can't move everything in one day. I thought you didn't know that?"
"If I were to say, you're just an idiot. Don't you have a brain?"
"I give you a hundred soldiers and tell you to move as much as you want. Can you empty the Ministry of Revenue's three million taels of silver in one night?"
"Can you empty the Ministry of Industry of tens of thousands of sets of weapons and armor?"
"I ask you, can you?"
Ning Yuanwu slammed the table and stood up, shouting harshly.
At this moment, Ning Yuanwu was really angry.
Ning Jun kept blaming Ning Quan for this matter. How could he not know what Ning Jun was thinking?
It's nothing more than an opportunity for revenge.
It would be fine if it was just revenge, but he actually came up with such a ridiculous reason. Is he taking himself for a fool?
"Pfft!"
"Father, please calm down... I, your son, cannot."
Seeing Ning Yuanwu's rage, Ning Jun was so scared that he fell to his knees.
"Huh, you can't? Your ninth brother can?"
"I know you hate your ninth brother, and everyone here hates your ninth brother, but don't you think before you speak or act?"
"Everything is blamed on him, for fear that he will not die."
"He's going to Beiting soon. What else do you want from me? Do you want me to kill him?"
"Do you know where Beiting is? How about you go to Beiting instead?"
Ning Yuanwu was still not satisfied and continued to curse.
"Father, I know I was wrong...I will never do it again."
Ning Jun was so scared that he kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
"Get out of here, I don't want to see you again."
"Listen to me, if something like this happens again, I will skin you alive!"
Ning Yuanwu pointed outside the door and roared.
"Yes... Your son will take his leave!"
Ning Jun hurriedly left trembling.
"Lord Li, immediately dispatch the Imperial Guard to guard all checkpoints and conduct a city-wide search."
"It's impossible to transport so much silver, weapons and armor out of the capital so quickly. We can definitely find them."
"Also, immediately instruct the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Industry to conduct a joint investigation!"
"I want to see who has the guts to commit such evil deeds in Daqian!"
After Ning Jun retreated, Ning Yuanwu immediately gave orders.
"The minister obeys the order!"
"I will take your orders!"
Li Junchen and others said respectfully.
.......
At this moment, Ning Quan was on his way to the Ministry of War.
He didn't know what happened in the palace. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. All the stolen goods were in his space. Who could find them?
In less than half a minute, Ning Quan arrived at the Ministry of War and went straight to Li Taiheng's duty room.
"Your Highness is here, please take a seat."
Li Taiheng saw Ning Quan and quickly stood up and said.
"Brother-in-law, how's the matter with the weapons and armor going?"
Ning Quan asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. There will be no problem."
Li Taiheng said with a smile.
"Haha, I knew my uncle would definitely help."
Ning Quan was overjoyed when he heard this.
Li Taiheng's willingness to help meant that he had failed to persuade Wanyue, so Ning Quan felt relieved.
"Your Highness is too polite. These are just trivial matters. After all, we will be a family soon."
"To be honest, Your Highness, I went back yesterday and tried to persuade her, but Wanyue was determined to be with Your Highness."
"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to obey her."
"But even so, there are some things I must say."
"This is my only sister. I hope Your Highness will treat her well."
Li Taiheng said solemnly.
"This king understands, brother-in-law, don't worry."
Ning Quan said solemnly.
"Well, I believe in your Highness's character."
"Okay, enough talking. The batch of weapons and armor I contacted for Your Highness is in Quzhou."
"Your Highness will pass through Quzhou on his way to Beiting. Once you arrive in Quzhou, take this memorial to the governor of Hengzhou, who will hand over the weapons and armor to Your Highness."
"Your Highness, don't worry. The Hengzhou governor is my father's disciple. There won't be any problems."
Li Taiheng said this and took out a letter and handed it to Ning Quan.
“Thank you, uncle.”
Ning Quan took the letter and expressed gratitude.
"You're welcome. You'll pass by Longyou on your way to Beiting. Longyou is my hometown."
"Wanyue will take you back when the time comes. There are 500 servants in my hometown, and Your Highness can take them all with him."
"Father has also prepared three hundred guards for you, and I've got two hundred crossbows for you, so that will be a helping hand."
Li Taiheng continued.
"Haha, thank you so much, uncle!"
Ning Quan said happily.
Getting 800 soldiers and 200 crossbows at once was a pleasant surprise.
Finding a good wife can save you decades of hard work.
"Okay, I've explained everything I need to say. Your Highness, please return."
"I almost forgot. Wanyue asked His Highness to go over. She has something to tell His Highness."
Li Taiheng said finally.
"Okay, I'll go find her now."
Ning Quan smiled and bowed before leaving.
After leaving the Ministry of War, Ning Quan went straight to the Prime Minister's Residence.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Li Wanyue waiting for him in the yard.
Today, Li Wanyue was wearing a purple long dress, and her beautiful black hair was tied into a high bun.
A pair of beautiful watery eyes sparkled with elegant charm.
Sure enough, she is not boasting about being the most beautiful woman in the capital.
"Wanyue, you're looking for me."
Ning Quan walked forward with a smile.
"Well, I have something to tell you..."
Li Wanyue said with a blushing face.
"Just tell me, I will agree to anything you ask." Ning Quan said gently.
"Well...it's nothing actually. I just wanted to give this to you."
Li Wanyue took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Ning Quan.
"How do you have so much silver?"
Ning Quan was surprised after taking the banknote.
Each of these silver notes is worth about 20,000 taels, and there are more than 50 of them in total, totaling almost one million taels.
"Silly boy, this is my dowry."
Li Wanyue glared at Ning Quan coquettishly.
"Um...your dowry?"
"So many?"
Ning Quan asked in surprise.
She is indeed the daughter of the prime minister and a lady from a wealthy family in Longyou. Her dowry is so generous?
One million taels of silver is something that ordinary people cannot afford.
"Don't you know the expression 'a rich dowry'?"
Li Wanyue snorted softly.
"Haha, yes, it is true that the dowry is generous, but it is also a bit too much."
Ning Quan smiled awkwardly.
"Humph, you're still ungrateful after getting the advantage. Isn't it better to have more?"
Li Wanyue glared at Ning Quan, her pretty face became even redder, which was very charming.
"Hey hey hey..."
Seeing this, Ning Quan laughed dryly twice.
"I know you're in urgent need of silver, so I'm giving it to you right away. I think this will be helpful."
Li Wanyue looked at Ning Quandao.
