The honorary, relatives, Dukes and Marquis were extremely rich and noble, and they were in harmony with the country, enjoying glory and wealth for generations.

At this time, you are still seeking a good reputation. What do you want to do? Do you want to attract people to rebel?

So many times, it is not Xunqi who deliberately acted rampant and took advantage of the situation... Look at Wang Jian, the subordinate of Emperor Qin, and Zanhou, the subordinate of Emperor Han, who were deliberately greedy for money, leaving a great stigma. You can imagine why this is!

Zheng Xiaoming knew that Xunqi's identity had huge benefits, and also had huge restrictions on help.

"It is probably impossible to follow the path of benevolence and destiny, and the education of holy virtue is even more in line with my temperament... It seems that I still have to follow the path of blessing and destiny!"

But speaking of this, although the marquis is noble, he enjoys glory and wealth.

But this year I only earned 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver.

For ordinary people, these money is naturally astronomical figures that ordinary people can't imagine. But for Zheng Xiaoming, it's really not enough...

The main reason is that the largest account in the Marquis’ Mansion is the land and farming... But from ancient times to the present, it is the same if you can’t make money by farming!

The thousands of acres of land in the Xiayang Hou Mansion earn only two or three thousand taels of silver a year. The real income is still several stores, restaurants, and money shops in the Xiayang Hou Mansion.

You have to find a way to expand your business!

Thinking of this in my heart, I heard a subordinate report: "Marty, Eunuch Li came with the emperor's will! He also brought more than ten boxes, which are said to be rewarded to you..."

Zheng Xiaoming sneered when he heard this. The emperor himself was a pauper. Every year, he would lose money by the end of the year.

What can he reward? It is nothing more than the various palace supplies made by some Twenty-Four Superintendents in the Palace, such as silk, charcoal, paper, bronze ware, etc.

It seems that they are all made by the top craftsmen in the palace, but it is hard to say how much it is worth.

It would be good if you could get dozens of taels of gold and silver for direct money!

After all, as a honorary relative, I am often rewarded by the palace...

However, the money-making thing in the plan depends on this opportunity.

Zheng Xiaoming was excited when he heard this and said Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived: "Please please, please!"

"Congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis!"

The eunuch Li Zhongxiao, who came to send an order to comfort Zheng Xiaoming, said to Zheng Xiaoming with a smile: "Congratulations to the Marquis! This time the Emperor is looking at the Marquis with admiration. This time, he has sent so many condolences to the Marquis!"

Zheng Xiaoming said lazily: "He Xizhi has it! The emperor can't even deal with the two imperial envoys..."

"Oh! The Marquis's words are wrong! The Emperor is also for his own good!

Marquis, think about it, if the two envoys were really dealt with for this matter this time, although the Marquis vented his anger, I am afraid that the big civil servants in the court in the future would dislike you, right?

Maybe I will ask you, Marquis in the future...

In the future, it will not be easy for the marquis to take an assignment in the court or something!

Now that the emperor does this, he is also protecting you, Marquis!"

Zheng Xiaoming knew in his heart that what Li Zhongxiao said was true, but of course he could not forget it in terms of face. He sighed: "I have been beaten like this, so what else can I do? I have no shame to see people in the future, so I can only hide in the mansion and keep my door shut!"

Li Zhongxiao laughed dryly, admiring that Zheng Xiaoming was obviously a marquis, but he didn't know where this rogue habit came from.

But Li Zhongxiao is difficult to deal with. He came to comfort Zheng Xiaoming by the emperor's order. Zheng Xiaoming is so uncooperative, so he may not be able to complete this job!

If it is a eunuch or even a civil servant who ignores the emperor's comfort, it is because you are unhappy and can deal with you in a blink of an eye... at least you will be put into another book, and you will never make a fortune in your life.

But what are the Dukes like Xiayang Hou who are in harmony with the country afraid of? At worst, they can go back and close their doors to enjoy wealth and wealth. Your emperor's annual rewards are still indispensable...

But Li Zhongxiao, who failed to complete the task, was difficult to deal with: "Mr. Marquis! Marquis! Don't be discouraged and be trapped in the conspiracy of those turban guests!

There are not many talented people in our Xunqin. If you don’t come out of the mountain again, wouldn’t the guests of the headscarf be happy?”

The so-called headscarf naturally refers to the literati and doctors wearing headscarfs, and of course, they also refer to the civil servants.

The nobles and eunuchs coexist with the imperial power, so the relationship between the two parties is of course closer. It is equivalent to one being the slave of the master's family and the other being the relative of the master's family.

Of course, compared with the huge civil servant group that occupies the entire administrative power, both sides are much weaker, so most of the time they are group to warm up and fight against civil servants together.

So Li Zhongxiao only spoke to us!

Zheng Xiaoming laughed, seeing that the situation was almost done, he did not do anything, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law respects me so much, come here! Give me a generous gift to Eunuch Li..."

The so-called generous gift is simple and crude, just a 500 taels of silver stuffed over.

This is definitely not a small hand. Even if it is to take the seal and give gifts with the pen, it is enough.

Li Zhongxiao was just a little eunuch who was following the emperor. When was someone given so much money?

He was immediately happy that Li Zhongxiao was blinded by seeing the teeth: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Zheng Xiaoming said: "Tell the emperor that I can't be in vain after suffering such a big loss. I want to open a few stores in the capital and do some small business."

Li Zhongxiao had no idea of ​​agreeing to the emperor, and was joking. Since ancient times, the emperor has done anything to the heroes and nobles as long as he does not rebel. As a general, he is not afraid of you being greedy for money, but is afraid of you being honest...

Zheng Xiaoming wants to do business and make money in the capital. What's the difficulty? Even if the emperor wants to compensate Zheng Xiaoming, he will definitely agree.

Sure enough, when Li Zhongxiao went back to report, the emperor laughed and scolded a few times, and then took the initiative to reward two imperial shops for compensation.

······

······

"Sure enough, there is no follow-up movement. Fame cannot continue to spread, so there will be no new benevolent jade rice growing!"

A few months later, Zheng Xiaoming murmured to himself.

After more than three months, the last storm had already disappeared. Naturally, no one was talking about it anymore. Now no new benevolent jade rice has grown and is available for cultivation.

As for the money in the mansion, it was barely enough to balance the income and expenditure. The huge Xiayang Marquis Mansion raised hundreds of people.

Among these people are servants, servants, maids, etc., as well as managers who manage farms, shops, etc. outside the mansion, etc., etc.

This is equivalent to a large company, with huge expenses every day.

In addition, it was like the emperor would subsidize each princes in the name of rewarding.

The Xiayang Marquis Mansion will also give rewards and subsidies to some related subordinate families... such as generals, relatives and friends who went out of the Xiayang Marquis Mansion.

It can be said that every day when I open my eyes, silver flows out.
