Chapter 656 A Great Thing, Karmic Merit Is Immeasurable!
One of the Jinyi guards raised his head and glanced at Su Ran.
He continued to look into the distance.
He didn't seem to take Su Ran to heart.
Another Jin Yiwei cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a polite smile:
"My lord, please invite me. I am from the Jinyiwei Bai family. My surname is Chen. I wonder if your lord is worthy of Geng. Do you have a match?"
"Marriage? I am already thirty years old..."
"That's it!"
Chen Baihu suddenly realized:
"No wonder I see you are kind-hearted, sir. It turns out that we look a bit alike. It's like we don't know each other without fighting~!"
"Haha..." Su Ran smiled awkwardly and said:
"Chen Baihu is so polite!"
"By the way, Chen Baihu suddenly stopped me. Does he have any instructions?"
Chen Baihu said with a smile:
"I don't have any orders, I just want to treat you to a cup of tea."
"Tea?"
"That's right!" Chen Baihu pointed to a teahouse next to him and said:
"If you don't mind it, sir, how about we go to the teahouse and sit down and have a chat?"
"Thank you very much Chen Baihu."
Su Ran smiled and agreed.
In the teahouse box, Chen Baihu said with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Su, I wonder why you came here this time?"
Su Ran took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"This time I went to the capital city on orders from the emperor. I was mainly responsible for building the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal."
"As for the specific construction project, the emperor will send a group of people who are familiar with the river to assist me in the repair work. This
"These people are all experienced and skilled people. I hope Chen Baihu can help introduce a few.
"APOD..."
Chen Baihu smiled dryly and asked again:
"Sir, how many people do you need?"
Su Ran thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers.
Chen Baihu's eyes lit up and he said:
"Your Excellency is indeed generous, but building a canal is not a small sum of money."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to get 50,000 taels of silver alone. How about this, sir, I'll give you 80,000 taels. Do you think that's okay?"
"Eighty thousand taels?"
Su Ran frowned, a little surprised.
He originally thought that the other party would only give him 20,000 taels of silver at most.
"Yeah!" Chen Baihu nodded and said:
"This is the limit of what I can take out. If it's more, I won't be able to take out more."
"After all, we are all working for His Majesty, so we can't get more money than those court officials, right?"
"Furthermore, His Majesty also attaches great importance to the construction of the canal. If we take too much money, His Majesty will definitely be unhappy."
……………………Please give me flowers……
"Let's do this, Tian Kangbing!"
Chen Baihu stretched out seven fingers and said with a smile: "Seventy thousand taels is enough."
"Thank you very much." Su Ran said with a smile.
"My lord, you're welcome."
Chen Baihu waved his hand, then took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Su Ran:
"I will give all this money to you, and I hope you will complete the task as soon as possible.
...O
"Understood!" Su Ran took the banknote and stood up to say goodbye:
"Time is running out, I'm going back to prepare for the project!"
"Walk slowly." Chen Baihu clasped his fists.
After Su Ran left, the young Jin Yiwei beside him couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Chen, we spent so much money just to drive this imperial envoy away?"
"You know nothing!" Chen Baihu snorted and said:
"Now, in the entire Nanling Prefecture, our Qingjiang Prefecture has the best development!"
"And Mr. Su is a new scholar and has a smooth official career."
"It would definitely be a good thing if such a person could stay in our Qingjiang Mansion as an errand!"
"What's more, he is an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor."
"This is even more important, and we must keep it under control!"
