I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 302
Chapter 302 Solution
Wang Shilang took the approval document written by Yuan Shang, which was the proof of applying for the money. It had Yuan Shangshu’s signature and official seal on it.
They should have gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to apply.
In the end, Qin Chi was given an approval document to handle, which meant he was completely out of character!
Qin Chi took the approval document and said, “Mr. Wang, is it appropriate for me to go to the Ministry of Revenue?”
“It’s appropriate. You can go to the Ministry of Finance to find Xia Shangshu and ask him to sign and stamp it.”
After Wang Shilang finished speaking, he ran away as if being chased by a dog. Maybe he also knew that what he was doing was unreasonable.
What Qin Chi took over was a hot potato.
You should know that there are many departments waiting for money from the Ministry of Accounts. If you apply for money out of ten times, it will be considered good if you get approved twice.
“Sir, did they do it on purpose?”
Qin Ba didn’t speak just now, but when the others left, he finally couldn’t hold back the curse, “It’s already autumn, not to mention rushing to work, there is not enough cotton and cloth, and it takes time to buy it from outside. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to complete it. It’s good now, it’s their job to go to the Ministry of Finance to ask for the money, and it’s their job to leave it to you! If they fail to send the 200,000 cotton clothes to the northwest on time, they will probably blame you. “
When the superiors hold him to account, Qin Chi will be charged with dereliction of duty.
This is exactly the purpose of Yuan Shangshu.
Another clever plan.
After all, this was Yu Hengsi’s mission. The Ministry of Industry was delayed for a while due to a previous corruption case. Wouldn’t Yuan Shangshu immediately ask Yu Hengsi to rush into production when he came back? If this matter were discussed outside, no one would criticize Yuan Shangshu.
He would only feel that Qin Chi was unlucky.
I just arrived and became the head of Yu Hengsi at this time.
Lao Huo, who was standing by, was about to become invisible. He rolled his eyes when Qin Ba said this, “What is impossible for others may not be possible in the hands of the young master.”
Qin Ba turned to think of Qin Chi’s ability and suddenly became silent.
Qin Chi stood up calmly, straightened his clothes, and ordered: “Bring the official documents and credentials, we will go to the Ministry of Revenue now.”
Qin Ba packed up and followed Qin Chi, “The Ministry of Revenue will be very busy today. There are many long tables at the gate, and there are many people lining up to donate. Master, if we go over now, will they have time to pay attention to us?” “
“Xia Shangshu is in a good mood today. Now is the time to go and find him.”
If he had told Qin Chi yesterday that it would be very difficult to ask Qin Chi to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle this matter, he would most likely be ignored and cold-faced. However, Xia Wei and him happened to have a friendship with him over dinner in the morning.
Before taking over Yu Hengsi.
Qin Chi used Shun’an Trading Company to take charge of some military supplies for the Northwest Army, such as medicinal materials, grain and fodder. Qin Chi naturally knew that the Ministry of Industry was in arrears for 200,000 military cotton uniforms this year. When he took over Yu Hengsi, he expected this day, so he asked Song Jin to help purchase cotton in advance.
Just waiting for the Ministry of Accounts to approve the goods.
Xia Wei didn’t expect to see Qin Chi again so soon, “What kind of wind brought Qin Zhuangyuan here?”
“I have something to ask of Mr. Xia.”
Qin Chi put the previous official documents and vouchers on Xia Wei’s desk, “The soldiers at the border have not changed into military cotton uniforms in ten years. Today, Yuan Shangshu ordered the subordinates to rush out 200,000 pieces. I will rush as soon as I get the approval.” I’m here to see you, and I’d like to ask Mr. Xia to make it easier for me.”
“Four hundred thousand taels…”
Xia Wei wanted to say that you might as well just kill me, but when he thought of what Qin Chi said just now, he had not changed his military uniform in ten years, “A military cotton uniform is customized according to specifications, and it cannot be less than four kilograms of cotton. The cotton on the market this year , the price is 20 to 30% higher than in previous years. Cotton alone costs more than one tael. Can you keep the cost at 2 taels? “
“Perhaps Yuan Shangshu knew the difficulties of the household department well, so he reduced the cost to two taels of silver.” Qin Chi is as stable as Mount Tai.
It is not said that Yuan Shangshu made things difficult for him.
But it seems like he said it!
Yuan Shangshu kept the expenses to a minimum, didn’t he deliberately make things difficult for Qin Chi?
Of course, Xia Wei saw through the twists and turns at a glance. Perhaps Hube was a part of the other party’s plan to make things difficult for Qin Chi.
He didn’t like being used as a weapon.
Seeing that Qin Chi had helped him a lot today, Xia Wei happily signed and sealed it.
Qin Chi bowed deeply to Xia Wei gratefully and went to pick up the money without saying anything. When Qin Chi helped someone get the money.
The news was sent back to the Ministry of Works.
Yuan Shangshu was shocked, “Xia Wei actually approved it? How is that possible?”
“Sir, it’s approved.”
The confidant who came back from the inquiry confirmed, “Don’t worry, sir. Even if he gets the money, he still won’t be able to complete the task. The cotton on the market now sells for three yuan and sixty yuan per pound.”
“Keep asking.”
Yuan Shangshu has been dealing with Xia Wei a lot in these years. When his confidants retreated, he looked around at the two ministers and seemed to sigh: “I don’t know when Xia Shangshu became so easy to talk to. He approved 400,000 yuan at once. In the past. When we go to the Ministry of Finance, we never sit on the bench.”
Wang Shilang hesitated and said, “Maybe Xia Shangshu is in a good mood?”
“The second reason is that he is in a good mood. The main reason is that he owes Qin Qi’an a favor today.” The right minister happened to hear the news and told Song Jin about today’s donation.
Yuan Shangshu’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and he waved his hand to signal the two of them to retreat.
Besides, Qin Chi returned to Yu Hengsi and immediately started making arrangements.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There is no shortage of cloth and cotton.
Song Jin had already ordered people to send the purchased cotton to the capital. There were more than one million kilograms of cotton, which was piled in the warehouse of Shun’an Trading Company. But Yu Hengsi only needs 800,000.
Cloth is also prepared.
All prices are purchased directly, half cheaper than on the market.
But in order to confuse Yuan Shangshu’s spy. Qin Chi deliberately asked Yuan Wailang and the principal to contact merchants in the capital to inquire about the prices of cotton and fabrics.
The Yuan family had already said hello behind the scenes, and the price was ridiculously expensive. The cost of killing cotton is three cents and fifty cents, which is only ten cents cheaper than the market price. A piece of suitable fabric costs 140 yuan, which is not much cheaper than the market price.
When Yuan Wailang handed over the price list, Qin Chi asked expressionlessly: “Are you sure this is the final price?”
Yuanwailang said with a bitter face: “Sir, I don’t know who spread the news that we are in urgent need of cotton and cloth. These businessmen are now fighting to death and refuse to lower the price. They also say that there is less cotton this year, and three cents and fifty cents is the cheapest price. ”
“Invite them to Piaoxiang Tower, and I will talk to them personally.” Qin Chi decided to meet these businessmen.
The person has made an appointment.
But these businessmen had all been greeted by others, so Qin Chi naturally returned without success. In front of others, he pretended to be worried and did not return to Cuihua Hutong until dark.
Song Jin saw Qin Chi’s tired face and asked, “Are you tired, sir?”
Qin Chi held her in his arms and whispered into her ear, telling her about Yuan Shangshu’s embarrassment, “I’m just pretending to be tired… I’ll show it to Yuan. I want him to be happy first…”
Song Jin wanted to say that this was really a loss.
But well done!
The two talked about the cost of cotton clothes again.
Qin Chi thought: “In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I decided to go to Shun’an Commercial Bank tomorrow to sign a purchase contract. Cotton is three yuan a pound, and cloth is one hundred and twenty yuan. How about it?”
“Will the price be set too high?”
The cost of the cotton purchased by Song Jin, after deducting transportation costs, was one cent and eighty cents per catty. The fabric was collected by Shun’an Trading Company, and the cost price was seventy-eight.
Qin Chi had no guilty conscience about making shady money, “The merchants outside were insisting on 30 cents and 50 cents for cotton and 140 cents for cloth. I reduced one by 50 cents and the other by 20 cents, which can be called a conscientious price. “
“Yes, my husband is a conscientious person.” Song Jin agreed unconditionally.
Qin Chi: “…”
At first glance, it sounds like you are mocking me?
ps: In ancient times, one pound was sixteen taels, but in modern times, one pound is twelve taels.
1 tael = 10 qian, 1 qian = 100 wen.
