Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 168

Did he really think the Qiao family had so much money they could never spend it all? That he could afford to be so extravagant?

Even if the Qiao family really had money, it was earned by his wife with great difficulty. How could he be willing to give it away to save face for the people of Nanyue Kingdom?

"Prime Minister Lin, what you said is not right. How can this not be the compensation from Nanyue Kingdom? Nanyue Kingdom has slapped our Chuyuan Kingdom in the face, so what's wrong with us asking for some compensation?" Zhou Mingjing really felt that Prime Minister Lin was really boosting others' prestige and destroying his own ambition.

Why don’t you believe that you have this ability?

"Sir Zhou, do you believe this if I tell you?" Lin Qi was unwilling to believe that the Nanyue Kingdom would give them so much silver as compensation.

"Lord Lin, if you don't believe it, why don't you check the authenticity of the silver yourself." Chu Haojue had no intention of explaining to those people that they had powerful gunpowder.

After all, there are some things that are better left to oneself. There is no need to announce them to the world. What we want is to catch them off guard.

But Prime Minister Lin said that he used the Qiao family's money to make up the numbers, which not only slapped him in the face, but also slapped the Qiao family in the face.

The Qiao family is not such a family that cannot distinguish right from wrong. They actually took out money to save face for the Nanyue Kingdom. Those who don’t know would think that they are in collusion.

"Second brother did a great job on this matter." Chu Yuanming felt that his mouth was about to grin from ear to ear.

Three million taels of silver!

This is no small sum.

It is enough for the Chu Yuan Kingdom to do a lot of things.

Besides, they got the silver without any effort.

Oh, no, it wasn't effortless, at least some gunpowder was wasted.

Thinking of gunpowder, Chu Yuanming felt that he had to thank Qiao Anan.

Qiao Anan is really his lucky star!

Not only did they continue to earn money for their treasury.

This also brought unexpected huge wealth to their Chu Yuan Kingdom from time to time.

The reason why the Nanyue Kingdom was willing to pay the money this time was because their Chuyuan Kingdom had that powerful gunpowder.

Thinking about the national treasury that was currently being renovated, Chu Yuanming felt better.

Chu Yuanming could confidently say that among the three generations of Chu Yuan monarchs, no emperor had ever had a more abundant treasury than the one he has today.

"Lord Du, has the national treasury found a place to store these three million taels of silver?" Chu Yuanming ignored the ministers who were questioning the silver. It didn't matter whether it was possible or not, because the silver was right in front of him.

Now, it doesn’t matter whether they fight or not.

Chu Yuanming instead brought the topic to another level.

Let the ministers of Chuyuan Kingdom wake up and stop thinking about where the silver comes from. Pay attention to the fact that our treasury is already full of silver.

There is so much silver in the national treasury that it is almost full.

"In reply to the emperor, if we were to put all three million taels of silver in the national treasury, I'm afraid the space would be a little small." Du Jingyuan felt very relieved!

After all, when their treasury was empty, what he feared most was that ministers would come to them to ask for money or funds.

But recently, their treasury has been extremely rich, with so much silver that it can hardly hold it all.

Especially since he will receive another three million taels of silver today, Lord Du feels that he will be in a good mood all day long.

Today, any minister who comes to him will be asked to approve silver.

He would just wave his hand and lend money without any hesitation.

The ministers were also stunned after hearing Du Junyuan's words.

Is there too much silver in the treasury to store it?

When did their Chu Yuan Kingdom become so rich?

The ministers tried hard to recall, but it seemed that nothing major had happened recently.

How come there is money suddenly?

At this time, the ministers tried hard to recall that they seemed to have recently gone to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for silver, and the Ministry of Revenue gave them the silver.

"The Second Prince's wife said that they have recently developed something called cement, which is very strong. You can ask her later whether we can use cement in the new treasury we are building?" Chu Yuanming said proudly, thinking to himself, his daughter-in-law asked him to be a wealthy emperor, so he must publicize her upcoming big money-making project on her behalf.

Besides, the treasury needs to be covered, which is a big deal. If the cement is really that strong, it will make my daughter-in-law famous.

The prince stood aside, covering his mouth and laughing. In fact, he had known about this for a long time.

Now that his second brother has brought back so much silver, the prince is very happy.

"Your Majesty, does the issue of sealing the national treasury require further consideration?" Lin Qi felt that he had failed as the prime minister. How come he didn't know that the emperor wanted to seal the national treasury?

The problem is that the emperor actually wants to entrust such an important matter as selecting materials to stamp the national treasury to a woman, the second prince's wife.

"Minister Lin, you think the national treasury has no more space for the silver. Where should it be placed? In your residence?" Chu Yuanming asked somewhat unhappily.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant." Lin Qi just thought that since they were going to add a new building to the national treasury, shouldn't they be careful in choosing the site and materials?

After all, the treasury is a very important place.

How can you be so careless and just do something like that?

"Okay, I know what you mean. Don't you think I can't be so careless? Look, there is so much silver that the national treasury can't hold it. We can't keep it in the Qianqing Palace every day. There must be a place to put the silver." Chu Yuanming pointed to the box in the hall and said seriously.

After all, the silver of their Chu Yuan Kingdom will only increase. If it is not added to the national treasury, is it possible that it will still be piled up in this hall?

He was really scared. When he turned around, he found that there was no place for these ministers to stand in the hall.

At this moment, Chu Haojue looked at the silver he had brought back, and looked at Chu Yuanming eagerly.

I thought to myself, I have traveled thousands of miles to earn so much money, shouldn’t my father reward me a little?

So that I can go back and please my wife.

After all, because of Nan Zhiyi's disgusting incident, he was in no mood to go out and pick out a suitable gift for his wife.

In the past, it was my wife who gave me money. This time, I also want to earn some money for her to spend.

"Father, since the national treasury is now full, then I..." What Chu Haojue actually wanted to ask was whether the money he had advanced over the years could be returned to him?

Chu Yuanming looked at Chu Haojue's expectant face and wanted to say no.

He was also afraid of hurting his son's feelings. He had been in control of him for all these years and he really owed him a lot.

However, if he was asked to make up for the money he had lost over the years, he would be a little unwilling to do so!

After all, it was a considerable sum of money, and he was afraid that once the silver was replenished, his treasury would be empty again.

"Second brother has made great contributions this time and deserves a reward." Chu Yuanming thought about it and decided to speak to Chu Haojue in a tactful way.
