Compared with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Internal Affairs manages relatively few matters, but some matters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also very huge, and it is also the unit that has the closest relationship with Li Cong, among other things.

, let’s just say those imperial merchants under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all of them are Li Cong’s current partners, and because of Li Cong, all of them are doing very well. This Ministry of Internal Affairs

Could it be that the manager came to see them because they were doing so well?

Prince Li is one of the few iron-hatted princes. Although he is a county prince, he is an iron-hatted prince. As long as he does not commit the serious crime of rebellion, his title will always be like this. This generation of Lijun

The county prince is even more powerful. He has been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for seventy years. Basically, everyone from top to bottom belongs to this old guy. He can get his hands on anything or people he likes.

, the reason why he came to Li Cong was also for money. Apart from the Ministry of Revenue, they were the emperor's second money bag. Normally, they should have a lot of money, but His Majesty the Emperor is so happy about his achievements that he will build it here today.

It is a palace, and a villa will be built there tomorrow. I really don’t have that much money, and rewards for meritorious people are all allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is said to be the emperor’s chief steward, but he is in a dilemma

He has more time than Tian Congdian. If the emperor cannot satisfy these things, his head will be lost very quickly.

At present, both the Ministry of Revenue and the clan government have obtained the money they need. I also have a shortfall of 80 billion silver. It would be great if I could lend this out. In fact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had a lot of money in the past.

There are many places where you can borrow money, but the interest rates are not that low. There are very few places where the interest rate is less than 50% per year. Li Cong only wants 25% here. If he doesn’t take this opportunity to borrow money,

I would be very sorry for myself.

"Actually, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is completely different from those two units. If what I said is right, the annual income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is even more than that of the Ministry of Household Affairs, right?" Li Cong said with a smile. This is absolutely true.

It’s not fake. Because the taxes are not high, the taxes of the Ministry of Household Affairs are not very high, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs does a lot of business, just like the shipping on the Magnolia River that Li Cong was involved in for the first time.

, most of the money there is collected by the royal family, and that is the matter managed by the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be said to have great powers. If people like them are short of money, they can get some from anywhere.

, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still so short of money. There is only one reason. They are so corrupt from top to bottom. Of course, I will not take care of this matter. This is not something I should take care of. If I

If you ask too many questions, it may be his fault, so Li Cong just wants to gain his own benefits.

"What Lord Cao said is true, but no matter how good the external appearance is, there is no money inside. This 80 billion silver is to prepare for His Majesty's upcoming southern tour. If this is not prepared well, it is estimated that

My wearing of condoms has come to an end. In fact, sometimes I also think that if I have to work hard every day, I might as well take a rest early. It’s a pity that the superiors won’t give me this chance to rest. What can I do?

.The only thing I can do is continue to do this." Li Cong didn't believe what he said at all. This kid wanted to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the rest of his life.

"The 80 billion loan is no problem. What I want to know is what can I get?" Li Cong said directly. He was really tired of seeing these officials one after another, and this was also the last one. Li Cong had already let him

The concierge doesn't care if anyone comes in. He also needs his own space.

"Haha, the interest is the same as what the Ministry of Accounts has negotiated with you. If you borrow for three years, you will have 60 billion silver in interest in three years." Prince Li said with a smile.

"Haha, the prince is joking. Since that's the case, I won't give it away. I have other things to do." Li Cong said jokingly, and Prince Li also smiled helplessly.

"Really. I'm just joking with you. I'm going to ask people to leave now. I want to give you a good exchange. You already have a monopoly on the shipping on the Magnolia River. Only our Ministry of Internal Affairs still has 40,000 in our name.

How about I have only one ship in my hand? I will immediately contract these 40,000 ships to you and pay 150,000 taels of silver every year. The rest will all be yours. How about that?" Prince Li smiled.

Then he said that he didn't know how much profit Li Cong made, just because he didn't know what happened to the machine Li Cong installed. All the major forces had obtained that thing, and they also tried to build some, but they all failed in the end.

Now, every ship owned by Li Cong can earn Li Cong 400,000 yuan a year in addition to the various fees paid.

, this year there are 16 billion silver, which is very good.

"It's a little less. If you can give me 40,000 boats on the Wutu River, this deal will be fine. Of course, Prince, you can't work in vain. One thousandth of my loan interest every year belongs to the Prince.

"One-thousandth is not a nice word, but one-thousandth of a billion means one million taels of silver, and three years is 60 million taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

"Well, you still have the majority, but this is no problem. Okay, in addition to the 80,000 you proposed, I will add 000 on the Wutu River for you to make up a round number, 100,000 boats. This way

You give me two thousandths." This old guy is not a fool. Anyway, the total income will not decrease and will increase. If he fires all the people on the ship over there and tells them to go away, he can save hundreds of millions of money every year.

Yes, it’s really fun to do something like this.

"Your Majesty is very calculating, so this matter will be settled like this." Li Cong said with a smile, even if this matter was completed, Li Cong immediately slumped down in his seat after sending away Prince Li. Damn it, he met three people in one day.

As a chief of an authoritative department, he could only be treated like this by the emperor, and I really couldn't stand it.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that these imperial uncles are usually so serious. Just like this Prince Li, he is the one who yells the most fiercely every time my father says he wants to crack down on corruption, and he is very

If you cooperate, you will report some corrupt officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I really didn’t expect that he is the biggest worm.” The little princess waited for this guy to leave and said, the prince of the clan’s mansion is more or less because of the clan’s children.

, this Li Junwang is purely for his own benefit. In fact, this kind of thing is very popular in the entire empire. It’s just that the little princess doesn’t know.

"Haha, actually you don't need to say that. You have also seen that the life of the clan members is difficult. You are doing this to these emperor uncles for the sake of your own descendants. Now they are all iron-hatted kings and you still need to

With such a plan, their own direct descendants naturally do not need to be managed in this way, just like the Prince Li. Except for his eldest son who can inherit the palace, I estimate that the other sons will have to have two if not thirty.

Ten. After these twenty sons are divided, their titles will not be very high. He will only have two or three legitimate sons at most. Except for the eldest, the others are earls. The status of this bastard is even lower, they are all barons.

, although the imperial court will give them a certain amount of money when they canonize them, but do you think the hundreds of thousands of silver are of any use to these clan members? As far as I know, the youngest son of Prince Li can do it just by holding a red card.

He received tens of thousands of silver a night. The money given by the court would be gone in three or two days, so he could only turn to his father for help. Although they had already lived separately, if his son did not live a good life, he would

I guess I feel uneasy. This son takes care of one or two million yuan a year. If nothing else, his son earns nearly half a billion yuan a year, and his grandson earns even more.

, there must be hundreds of grandsons. If you give lucky money during the New Year, you will get millions of silver, otherwise you will not be able to get it." Li Cong smiled and defended Prince Li, in fact, there is nothing that can be done about it. Who can do it?

This old guy's reproductive ability is so strong that all his descendants are the same as him.

"Yes, I just saw him in his usual glory, and I didn't expect it to be so difficult." The little princess now had her own kind heart again.

"An iron-hatted king like him is considered very good. Most people don't live as well as him. Many people live much worse than him. He is still the prince with real power. Those who have no rights

The princes and children and grandchildren are no less than him, and the life of those people is even more difficult. It would be great if there are twenty of the more than seventy county princes like Prince Li."

Li Cong, the son of these princes, is still very aware of this.

"Why don't you know how to go out and find a way out on your own? If you just stay in the capital like that, what will you do in the future?" the little princess said worriedly.

"Haha, it's not because I feel that I am the son of a dragon. If I can't survive in the capital, how can I go to another place? How can it be possible to pull this off on the faces of these people? Let's not talk about how rich I am.

It's so embarrassing, even if they really go out, what do you think they will do?" After Li Cong said a sentence, he felt that what he said was a bit abrupt. His wife was the same as them before, if she hadn't met Li Cong

If so, maybe many princesses in the capital have similar experiences to him. The life of the princesses of this clan is worse than that of these men. It would be great if they married into a wealthy family like the little princess, but if they didn’t have that

If you are destined to die, you will be unlucky. The imperial court pays 500 taels of silver per person per year to married princesses, whether they are the highest-ranking princesses or low-ranking embroiderers. As for the son born from the princess, he has a fourth-ranked one.

The official position of captain is a lifelong title.

As for Li Cong's consort, the consort's rank is equivalent to that of a first-class general. His annual salary is 13,500 taels of silver. Plus other things, it is estimated to be enough for 1,000 taels of silver. It is still easy to live in a place like the capital.

But if we were in the capital, we wouldn't necessarily spend such a small amount of money on a single party.

"Although I say that, I really want to help them. You must have a way. Come up with a way for me. How can I add more income to them every year? After all, they are some of my brothers.

"The little princess knows that Li Cong has many ways, and it is okay to help his family members in disguise.

"My madam, how can you think like that in your head? This is impossible. I do have a way. It is even possible for me to give them some money, but the children of the clan are different from normal people. As long as

If you ask His Majesty to show kindness to them, you must not let anyone else do this. If I did this, would it be because I had bad intentions? At that time, we couldn't even live a quiet life.

." Li Cong said solemnly, there is actually another one of these clan members that Li Cong did not tell in order to take care of the little princess. These clan children are not worth helping at all. These guys are all rubbish.

The little princess nodded helplessly. It seemed that she had seen this fact clearly. Her husband was right. They were not ordinary people and could not help them casually. Seeing the little princess's face, Li Cong was a little unhappy.

I didn't feel very good. I told the little princess what I had just discussed with Prince Xian. Although it couldn't change much of the entire clan, it could still help 20,000 to 30,000 people live a good life every year. This was considered a good life.

That's right, after hearing this, the little princess also had a smile on her face. She didn't pay attention to these people before, but now she has seen them. Life is really miserable.

The little princess also went out to take a look during the day. Of course, he went to some very good homes. It could be seen from their homes that these people were living a good life. But suddenly he thought of his sister, El

Ha, Ilha is the half-sister of the little princess, but her mother is just an ordinary concubine. Compared with the little princess’s mother, the royal concubine, there is a big gap, so when she got married, she was a county concubine.

My lord, I married a third-grade general from the vanguard battalion. Unfortunately, he was involved in the previous crown prince disputes. He was dismissed from office by the emperor in anger, although the princess can still live in her own princess mansion.

Yes, but the husband and his family are living in a small courtyard with two entrances, as well as the parents-in-law and so on. How can she live in the princess's mansion by herself? Besides, it is also a very important reason. After getting married, this princess's mansion is

The princess's private property, those things are yours and cannot be sold, but if you want to operate them, you can only rely on yourself, so the deserted princess mansions in the capital are not one or two buildings, and no one will live in them within five years.

The emperor will take it back.

Li Cong really can't take care of these things. No matter what he does, it will be his fault in the eyes of these people. If he is too good to these clans, some people will say that he bribes them. If

If you are not good to them, it is not good for you to spread harsh words about the clan, but Li Cong does not have so much time to think about this. What Li Cong has to do now is to open his first jewelry store.

Li Cong can also do jewelry trading on earth. This thing can be said to be very good, and the profit can definitely be more than 100%, especially in a place like the Imperial Capital. As long as you have better things, then those people

They will definitely not be stingy with the money in their hands. They spend money like water. Now Li Cong is not only dealing in all jewelry. Now Li Cong mainly plays with pearls, all of which are Dongzhu.

Those have been trained in the past one or two years. Compared with the best Dongzhu, they are naturally inferior, but they are still above average. Unless you are a professional, it is impossible to tell what this thing looks like.

, both the good and the bad are brought out to see.

Li Cong started preparing for this last thing when Li Cong was about to leave. In fact, if Li Cong had left long ago according to the original plan, it would take time for the Storm Legion to get there, and it would not be easy.

It is not easy for many people to get there in a short time. Li Cong has a few extra days. Anyway, he is idle, so he might as well take care of Cao's jewelry by himself.

What the rich ladies and ladies in the capital probably like most is the opening of a new jewelry store somewhere. What Li Cong wants is not how precious his things are, but how beautiful his styles are. In this world

Li Cong was very clear about some of the jewelry and the like. Those things basically had no style to speak of. Li Cong had long used the teleportation array to teleport some things to the earth. Of course, such as

Some glass and other things are also available. Those things are the most precious things here. Ordinary glass is not suitable. It is too fragile, but things made of bulletproof glass are completely different. Those things

It's definitely the hardest thing, and people here will definitely fall for it.

The place Li Cong chose for Cao's jewelry is naturally the best area in the capital. Even the youngest store here has a history of more than 0 years. It can be said that Li Cong spent a lot of time to get the store in front of him.

Yes, although the royal family also gave the little princess a front room when she got married, that place is not comparable to this. It is also a good place where merchants gather, but most of the people who come and go there are middle-class people.

Businessmen, those who come and go here are the most powerful and wealthy people in the entire capital, and they will spend a lot of money here. As for the money of ordinary people, Li Cong knows that it is not easy to make money. Every tael of silver they

People who think about it for a long time are completely different from these people. These people don't feel those things.
