A Blessed Wife At Home Chapter 2081: This is just the beginning

It costs a lot of money to raise private soldiers. Without money, everything is just talk.

The prefect of Hangzhou dared to be the first to take action among the Jiangnan provinces, and even dared to invade other people's territory. Of course, he was stronger.

Confidence and courage are all given by strength.

Strength is given by money!

If you have money, you need to raise troops, and then you need more money.

The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, with countless wealthy families and rich products. The prefect of Hangzhou is not worried at all that his warehouse will be empty.

Zhao Shu, who has a simple family, does not have so many intricate clan connections, and is so wealthy, was naturally on the Hangzhou prefect’s first wave of blacklists for blackmail.

The prefect of Hangzhou was not polite to Zhao Shu at all, and asked for 500,000 taels of silver as soon as he asked.

Zhao Shu knew very well that this was just the beginning.

I gave you 500,000 taels, and I don’t know how many more 500,000 taels I will give in the future.

But the Hangzhou magistrate has spoken, and it is absolutely impossible for him to get away with nothing. If he dares to pluck out a cent, the Hangzhou magistrate will be furious, and he will definitely become the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Zhao Shu cried bitterly, saying that he didn't have that much cash, and he could only scrape together a hundred thousand taels until he died, and there was really no more money.

Several other merchants secretly contacted each other and bribed a master trusted by the Hangzhou magistrate. After some bargaining, Zhao Shu finally came up with 150,000 taels of silver.

At that time, he wanted to leave Hangzhou.

However, he couldn't leave immediately. The industries here in Hangzhou must be properly arranged.

Farmland, shops, and 5,000 acres of tea farms are not small-scale industries. Even if he does not need to personally issue orders and make specific arrangements, it will take a lot of time to arrange them.

The most important thing is not these, but the 100,000 acres of flower fields and the perfume workshops in the flower fields.

Fortunately, it is the off-season at this time, the flowers and trees have basically withered, and the perfume workshop should have almost stopped working.

Zhao Shu made a decisive decision and immediately shut down the perfume workshop. The core workers, all members of their own family, were all evacuated and returned to the Zhao clan to live in a low-key manner.

Other workers stayed behind to take care of the flowers and trees, and were strictly prohibited from going out while living in the village.

All the core equipment and tools in the workshop were put away and hidden in an underground secret room in another house.

The money earned by the perfume workshop over the years is not a small amount. Relying on this alone, he, Qiao Xuan, and Shao Yunduan each earned nearly one million a year, and this money can be earned easily. It doesn't require as much energy as Sangtian.

This is why they keep a low profile, otherwise they can easily earn more by expanding their production capacity!

This is a very fast-growing industry~IndoMTL.com~Zhao Shu didn’t dare to move at all. If the black-hearted Hangzhou prefect found out, he would definitely force him to hand it over without hesitation.

No one can resist such temptation.

After finishing all this, Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take Taotao to leave Hangzhou and go to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, but found that he could not leave again.

The brother-in-law of the Hangzhou prefect came to visit.

He also came to ask for money.

This guy, like his brother-in-law, is very aggressive and not polite at all, asking for 500,000 yuan.

Zhao Shu went crazy on the spot: How could he give him half a million silver! are you crazy?

Does this man know that his brother-in-law didn’t even give him anything when he came to ask for it?

Zhao Shu had no choice but to continue acting and cry, his heart roaring wildly, he wanted to run away, he really couldn't stay here any longer!
