The most arrogant in history

Chapter 865: Whoever is the rich man will be unlucky.

Huaihua was angry and glared:

"What do you mean by returning to one's roots? Our Qin family has such a huge fortune. Who will it be left to after we pass away? And what about our Qin family's business? What about it?"

The Qin family is in Zhuo County and is indeed a wealthy and powerful family.

The combined wealth of Qin Chou and Qin Erwu was enough to rival a country.

Qin Chou looked at his wife and said humbly:

"Huaihua, the money we earn is enough to spend. If we take this money back, even ten generations of descendants can't spend it all. Why do we need so much money? I have arranged for people to build a mansion in my hometown in Pingye County. Once it is decorated, the conditions will not be bad."

Ye Kun smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Qin Chou was a smart man. He was worried that after Ye Kun abdicated, Crown Prince Ye Feng would take power and take action against the Qin family.

If you have a lot of money, others will be jealous.

The ancients said that a new emperor appoints new ministers, and this is absolutely true.

Huaihua insisted: "Anyway, I'm not going back. If you want to go back, go back by yourself. I will stay in Zhuo County to do business and guard this family business."

Qin Chou looked at Ye Kun and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please help me persuade Huaihua. I really can't persuade her with her temper..."

Huaihua smiled and said, "The emperor will only persuade you to stay, not to go back. Think about it, Pingye County is such a small place, Guan Yong and Jiang Laowu both built mansions in their hometowns and enclosed thousands of acres of fertile land.

Jiang Laowu's manor encloses Shuangya Mountain. Guan Yong's farm almost encloses the entire county. If we go back, where will we have room?"

Qin Chou sighed: "I only need the land of Caomiao Village, why do I need such a large place?"

Huaihua glared again: "Caomiao Village belongs to the emperor, not you. The former residences of the emperor and the empress are still in Caomiao Village. Many people visit them every year. Could it be that you demolished the emperor's former residence?"

The couple argued back and forth, neither of them giving in.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where the Empress and I lived. We can just build a wall around it and let people visit. Anyway, we don't plan to live there again."

The former residence of Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong is indeed in Caomiao Village.

However, Ye Kun's father's grave and his mother's remains have been moved to Zhuo County.

Defei's tomb was also moved to Zhuo County.

In addition, Ye Kun is a time traveler and does not have much affection for his former residence in Cao Miao Village.

Qin Chou smiled and said, "That's right. My mansion is not located at the old site of Cao Miao Village, but three miles north of Cao Miao Village. I won't build too many houses. A large courtyard with three entrances and a manor of one hundred acres will be enough."

Qiao Nu was surprised: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to persuade my father to stay in Zhuo County?"

"Look at your father's appearance, can you persuade him?"

Ye Kun sighed: "At his age, he longs to go back. If he is not allowed to go back, he will get sick and may not live for more than two years."

Qin Chou was overjoyed and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty is right. If I can't go back, I'm afraid even the liver and gall of a dragon and the gall of a phoenix will not be tasty."

Huaihua said angrily: "But when I go back, I won't be able to enjoy the food even if it's from a rich family!"

Qiao Nu couldn't persuade either side and sighed anxiously.

Ye Kun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have a way that will satisfy you all."

Huaihua stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."

"Don't throw away your family property in Zhuo County. Continue to preserve it."

Ye Kun nodded and said slowly, "You can build a mansion in Caomiao Village, Pingye County, and go back whenever you want. Now that transportation is good, it only takes three or four days to get from Pingye County to Zhuo County. Wouldn't it be best to run from both sides?"

A highway has been built from Pingye to Tianmen County in the north.

It was built by Ye Qingyang.

Four mountain tunnels were opened, four stone bridges were built, and the road was straightened, greatly shortening the journey.

Moreover, it is of national highway standard, allowing eight carriages to run side by side.

Now it only takes six hours to get from Pingye County to Tianmen County.

When you reach Tianmen County, you will reach the Yangtze River waterway and can head east to the Grand Canal. You can also continue northward, take the national highway to Luoyang, and then take a train to Zhuo County.

The Ministry of Transport also has plans to extend Luoyang’s railway southward to the Yangtze River.

At that time, it only took one and a half days to get from Zhuo County to Tianmen County.

Huaihua and Qinwu talked and laughed, "Running to both sides is a good idea."

Qiao Nu pondered and said, "But the court has a rule that the official residences must not exceed the established standards. The Qin family built a residence in Pingye County, isn't it..."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "In theory, that's right. But your father has made great contributions, so it's no big deal to make an exception. We can communicate with the Nine Departments by spending money to buy land."

Qin Chou nodded: "Yes, yes, I spent money to buy the land, I am not short of money."

Huaihua was a little unhappy and curled her lips and said, "The land in Pingye County is not worth much, right?"

"Although it's not worth much, we still have to abide by the rules and regulations. At the very least, we have to put on an act for the officials and the people to see, so that they won't accuse us of having privileges."

Ye Kun smiled.

Qin Chou's consciousness suddenly came to his senses, and he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, no privileges. I am also a member of the Mohist Alliance, and I must do things impartially and abide by the rules and regulations!"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Then... 20,000 taels of gold."

"What, twenty thousand taels of gold?"

Huaihua was shocked and jumped up.

In the past, 20,000 taels of gold could buy the entire Pingye County.

Although the Qin family was rich, taking out 20,000 taels of gold at once was still like cutting off Huaihua's flesh.

Qin Chou was also surprised, but then calmed down:

"Your Majesty is right. We should give him 20,000 taels of gold. The purpose of our Mohist Alliance is to serve the public. The Qin family's money is the court's money, the society's money, and the people's money. We should contribute a portion of it to benefit the people."

clap clap.

Ye Kun applauded: "Mr. Qin is Mr. Qin, he has a high level of ideological awareness and a great vision. Back then, Mr. Zhou from our Caomiao Village was greedy and that's why he lost his life.

We in the Mohist Alliance should take Zhou Taigong as a warning. We should also remember the oath we made when we joined the alliance, to promote benefits and eliminate harm, and to be fair to all. "

When Zhou Taigong was mentioned, Huaihua reacted instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat, and stammered, "Your Majesty is right, we will donate 20,000 taels of gold to support national construction."

"Thank you."

Ye Kun clasped his fists towards Huaihua and whispered, "The Qin family's assets, added up to two hundred thousand taels of gold, must be there, right? As the saying goes, a man is innocent until he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Having too much money is not a good thing either.

I let you take some money to shut up the officials and the people. When you return to Pingye County, you should build bridges and roads, do more good deeds, and leave a good reputation.

I am old too, and cannot take care of your children and grandchildren."

This has been made very clear.

Ye Kun can save Qin Chou's entire family, but Ye Kun will also die.

At that time, Prince Ye Feng was the emperor. Once he ran out of money, he had to eat at the rich man's house!

Whoever is the big spender will be unlucky.
