Chapter 422 Xie Ku's Proposal
Zhao Si looked at Xie Ku's worried expression and couldn't help but smile. Then he said, "You will know when the time comes..."
When Xie Ku wanted to ask more questions, Jing Fei had already walked out.
Jing Fei said to Xie Ku, "Thank you, my Lord, it's your turn..."
Xie Ku said to Zhao Si, "Minister Zhao, please give me a clear answer... Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Zhao Si looked at Xie Ku and was about to cry, then said, "Look where you sit..."
There was no other reason why Sheku was so nervous.
That’s because the emperor sent someone to look for him yesterday.
And let him show his loyalty.
He thought it was very secretive, but today the prince came to him.
After listening to Zhao Si's words, Xie Ku stopped talking.
Just followed him in.
After entering, Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Ku, "Uncle Xie, why are you so nervous... Come and have some tea..."
As soon as Xie Xunfeng started talking, he asked the woman serving him to pour tea for Xie Ku.
Xie Ku looked grim, and he knelt down in front of Xie Xunfeng with a thud...
Then he trembled and said, "Your Highness, I... I didn't... I didn't mean it... I didn't betray you... I had no choice... Please spare my life?"
Seeing Sheku looking at the glass of wine in the maid's hand with a panicked look on his face...
Xie Xunfeng naturally understood what Xie Ku was afraid of...
He smiled and said, "This isn't poison... It's just that my father asked someone to talk to you... I still trust you... What's the matter? I trust you, and you're still afraid that I'll poison you..."
When Xie Ku heard Xie Xunfeng say this, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and then he said, "No...no...I'm not afraid..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Ku, "Uncle Xie, if you are not afraid, just drink it..."
Seeing this, Sheku held the teacup with trembling hands and looked at his trembling hands.
I shook out half of the tea...
Then he took a sip.
After drinking it, his complexion immediately recovered a lot, and he said to Xie Xunfeng with bright eyes, "Good tea..."
At this moment, Xie Xunfeng smiled at Xie Ku, and then said, "That's right... good tea... good tea... look at how you're shaking... what's the matter, what do you think I am?"
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xie Ku smiled slightly and then said, "Hey... Your Highness , there are too many rumors outside... I assure you, I was just trying to please the emperor... After your return and your trust in me... I am yours..."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xie Ku anxiously showing his loyalty, and Xie Xunfeng waved his hand, then said, "Don't be in a hurry... Don't be in a hurry to follow me to show your loyalty... Tell me, what does the emperor want you to do?"
Xie Ku looked at Xie Xunfeng and said, "First, he followed us to reminisce about the past, and second, he brainwashed me. He probably wanted me to pretend to work for you. When the right opportunity comes, I will work for him..."
After hearing what Xie Ku said, Xie Xunfeng couldn't help but smile faintly, and then asked, "What do you think?"
Xie Ku said to Xie Xunfeng, "Of course I can't listen to him... I am only concerned about..."
Xie Xunfeng interrupted Xie Ku before he finished speaking, "Uncle, you should know my character..."
When Xie Ku heard Xie Xunfeng say this, he looked embarrassed, and then said, "What...what do you mean..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Ku, "It doesn't mean anything... I just like to hear the truth... If you tell the truth to me... I will feel that your heart is with me..."
Xie Ku's face twitched slightly, and then he said to Xie Xunfeng, "Your Highness, but... you have to... you have to spare my life..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Ku, "Uncle, I promise you. Not only today ... but also in the future, and even every day thereafter, as long as you follow me and tell the truth... I will definitely spare your life..."
After Xie Ku heard what Xie Xunfeng said, his expression softened a lot...
"Okay! Your Highness, this is what I actually think... I don't have any other hobbies, I just love money... I will follow whoever can help me make money... If you can help me make money, I will follow you well... If after half a year, you are no match for your father... I will follow your father!"
After Xie Ku said this, he was a little afraid to look Xie Xunfeng in the eye .
Xie Xunfeng laughed, and then said, "Okay... this is what you really think..."
"Please forgive me, Your Highness..."
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xie Ku and said, "Forgive me, forgive what sin... Xie Ku, I know you are a talented person... So, I will also make a promise here, as long as you follow me... If anyone wants to bribe you, you just need to come to me with the news, and I will give you double! Don't you just like money? I will satisfy you... But, I need you to be loyal to me..."
"Of course, I won't force you now... If I lose to the emperor in half a year, you will follow him, and I won't say no..."
After Xie Ku heard what Xie Xunfeng said, he said to Xie Xunfeng, "Your Highness, I knew you said that! I will follow you..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Ku, "It's not easy to follow me... You have to answer a few questions..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xie Ku said, "Your Highness, you said..."
"What is the biggest problem of the Ministry of Revenue now?" Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Ku.
Xie Ku glanced at Xie Xunfeng, and then said, "Of course, all the shops are controlled by Huitong Commercial Bank, and all settlements are settled in Tongbao. The exchange rate between Tongbao and our Great Zhou's money is controlled by Huitong Commercial Bank... So, this means that when we use our Great Zhou's money to buy things from their Great Zhou Commercial Bank, we need to pay more..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xie Ku, "Is there any way to solve this problem?"
Xie Ku said to Xie Xunfeng, "Of course... and it's very simple. Merchants have always been afraid of the government since ancient times, how can the government be afraid of merchants... Before, it was just the second prince Xie Yong who was interfering... and the Huitong Commercial Bank, who kept threatening us..."
"We directly prohibit the use of Tongbao. We must use the Great Zhou currency for settlement..."
"If they raise the price, won't the result be the same?" Xie Xunfeng interrupted and asked.
"If they dare to raise the price, we will fine them..."
"What if they don't want to sell it?" Xie Xunfeng continued to ask.
"Not selling? In our Great Zhou's territory, it's up to them to sell it or not... If they don't sell it, we will force them to sell it... Who owns this world ?" Xie Ku said with a serious face.
