Liu Cheng was in a very good mood when he came out of the Silijian. When he walked to the fork between the Inner Mansion's Supply and Venue Factory, a figure emerged from the side of the road and smiled and nodded at him.

Liu Cheng glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he turned his eyes at the figure. Then both sides pretended not to see each other and went their own way. Finally, he touched his head in the small garden behind the Seal and Strip Prison.

"Eunuch Liu, this is a little bit of intention that Your Highness the Princess has asked me to give to my father-in-law." Li Yongzhen stuffed several folded silver notes into Liu Cheng's hand.

Liu Cheng glanced at the eyes and found that they were all five hundred taels a day. His face was immediately filled with joy. He didn't expect it but refused and refused: "Oh, a small matter, how can you ask Your Highness to spend money?"

"This matter is a small matter to your father-in-law, but a big matter to your highness." Li Yongzhen told the truth. This matter is a big matter to your princess. It is a big matter to your princess.

"Your Highness's affairs are the Empress's affairs. Isn't the Empress's affairs ours? Eunuch Li said that he would not receive any reward without merit. We just handed over a letter to your Highness and passed on a message. He didn't do much effort, so we really can't accept this money." Liu Cheng forced the silver notes back to Li Yongzhen without saying anything.

"Eunuch Liu?"

Li Yongzhen made Liu Cheng a little confused. As far as he knew, Liu Cheng relied on being the personal eunuch of the imperial concubine, but he was very greedy and he dared to get involved in the daily expenses of Yikun Palace. Why was he so ignorant of money?

This is a silver note of two thousand taels, not a small amount.

When His Highness Shouning gave him the silver note to Li Yongzhen, the son-in-law Ran Xingrang felt sorry for him.

"Eunuch Li, please bring the silver notes back. Our family said that we can't take His Highness's money, but that's it," Liu Cheng felt a little embarrassed to speak when he said this.

Um?

Li Yongzhen became more and more strange and hurriedly said, "Eunuch Liu has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Ah, well, that's it."

Liu Cheng coughed lightly: "Eunuch Liu thinks we have found out that our family and Eunuch Cui have set up a company in the palace. Many of our father-in-laws have invested in the company. They point to spend some money to get some profit. In the future, if they are old, sick, and they will be able to get some money to retire..."

Li Yongcheng roughly understood what Liu Cheng meant. Many eunuchs in the palace had private contact with the silver bank outside the palace. They either used their power to directly open money houses to make profits, or invested shares, or placed the money in the bank to send it out and then collected interest rates. The bank collected handling fees from it. If there was eunuchs who were the backstage, they were afraid that the money would not be collected after being released?

This is the practice of powerful eunuchs. The little eunuchs who have no power cannot be idle even if they have money, but they have little money and are not favored by the money house, so they join forces to form a club, either called Xing or Biao. There are many names, but the purpose is one, that is, to make money with money.

Liu Cheng and Cui Wensheng, another eunuch of the Imperial Concubine, jointly opened a club called Baoshan Association. Half of the members of the meeting were eunuchs from the Yikun Palace, and the rest were all in charges and departments. However, except for Liu Cheng and Cui Wensheng, the others had no power, and most of them were incompetent.

I don’t have much money on hand, but after the establishment of Baoshan Association for ten years, there have been hundreds of members, and the gathering is too small, but now I can move tens of thousands of taels out.

As the head of the chief and deputy chief, Liu Cheng and Cui Wensheng had no knowledge of making money outside the palace. They only knew how to use others to send money to the money shop to collect interest, but the money shop also looked at people's food. Even if Liu Cheng and Cui Wensheng were the eunuchs of the imperial concubine, the interest paid to them by the money shop was only half of the big stake, which made Baoshan Club earn very little.

"Those individuals are so arrogant. We and Eunuch Cui are very angry, but if they don't let them go, where can they put the money?" Liu Cheng became more and more angry as he spoke.

"What does Eunuch Liu mean?" Li Yongzhen understood, but he didn't know what Liu Cheng mentioned about this treasure mountain and what would have to do with this matter.

Liu Cheng laughed dryly and saw a group of people coming from afar. He was afraid that it would be bad for people to see it if they were delayed for a long time, so he opened the door and saw the window and said, "That's right. Eunuch Cui heard that Your Highness is issuing maritime bonds. The interest rate is much higher than that outside, and he can also pay the interest in advance. So Eunuch Cui wondered if he could take out the money from Baoshan Club to buy some bonds from Your Highness, which is also considered as our servants who are the best friends to win over Your Highness."

“That’s it,”

Li Yongzhen suddenly realized that he had heard about Wei Liangchen and Princess Shouning coming to issue maritime bonds together, but he was not interested in it, so he didn't ask Wei Liangchen in detail. Now it seems that this sea coupon is a good thing, and even people like Liu Cheng want to come in and get a share of the pie.

Seeing that Li Yongzhen did not respond, Liu Cheng hurriedly said, "Eunuch Li, we know that your highness's bonds are not something that ordinary people can buy, so he wanted to ask Eunuch Li to help us ask Your Highness. If Your Highness is willing to sell some to our Baoshan Club, our Baoshan Club will be grateful to Your Highness for your kindness."

Li Yongzhen thought this was easy. Liu Cheng and Cui Wensheng were both eunuchs of the Imperial Concubine. There are many advantages and disadvantages in establishing a good relationship with them. Your Highness will definitely sell it, but there are some risks, but he must remind Liu Cheng so that this guy will not recognize him in the future.

"Eunuch Liu thought that you knew that Your Highness's maritime bond was issued for going to sea, but now the maritime Eunuch Wei is in trouble in Jiangnan. What if?"

Before Li Yongzhen could finish his words, Liu Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, it's okay. We can trust Your Highness and Eunuch Wei. Even if something really happens, it doesn't matter to your Highness, let alone your Eunuch Li's business."

Seeing that Liu Chengdu said this, Li Yongzhen was not good at saying anything, so he nodded and said, "That's it, don't worry about this matter. Eunuch Liu has to cover it with our family. Now we will leave the palace to go to your highness to do the business for your father-in-law." At this point, he still handed the four five hundred taels of silver notes to Liu Cheng, "The matter is all done one by one, and our family will handle the bond matter for you, but the money is rewarded by Your Highness, and Eunuch Liu cannot refuse it."

"Thank you then!"

Liu Cheng was overjoyed, put the silver notes in his sleeves, and was polite with Li Yongzhen. Then he returned to Yikun Palace with satisfaction, anxious to tell Cui Wensheng the good news.

As he said to Li Yongzhen just now, he is not afraid of something happening to the maritime bond, because the little Eunuch Wei who was going to go out to sea would not have something to do!

I don’t know what the emperor is thinking outside, can Liu Cheng not know?

The emperor has short hands and soft mouths.

Otherwise, he would not dare to submit Wei Liangchen's inscription for Shouning. The people in the Silijian knew about this. Even if Liu Cheng was protected by the Imperial Concubine, he would be bound to wear his shoes in the future.

Moreover, this matter is not only the emperor's daughter who is active, but also the Fu King and the uncle. I heard that his highness is distributing interest, saying that it is the first period of maritime bonus interest to celebrate the establishment of the Royal Navy. After going to sea, there will be second periods and third periods of dividends.

If you have money, you will also have the Emperor's Guard. Many relatives of the royal family bought maritime bonds. Who would let Wei Liangchen doom? If that is the case, what should Liu Cheng be afraid of? The tens of thousands of taels of silver from Baoshan will be smashed to His Highness, and the golden rooster will wait for the egg to be laid.

Don’t look at the Silijian and the people outside shouting and beating and killing, but that little Eunuch Wei will not have any trouble!

Liu Cheng was sure that in addition to knowing how to do things and constantly giving filial piety to the emperor, this kid also knew how to please the imperial concubine and asked the emperor to put the affairs of the special zone on King Fu's head.
