Chapter 717: Selling the House and Land

Dong Ruyi walked inward, and she happened to have a face-to-face with Dong Wende and other household officials. She didn't make a sound, just nodded at Dong Wende, and then walked inside.

The household officials all looked at Dong Wende, and they understood that Ruyihou was here to relieve them from the siege.

They don't ask for anything else now, only the appearance of Ruyihou, which can dissipate the anger in the emperor's heart, so they will save their family's lives.

Dong Ruyi entered the study, and a book was thrown on the ground in the study.

She didn't make a sound, just curtsied, and went to pick up the recital on the ground.

Zhang Fuhai waved his hand, and the palace people in the study immediately retreated outward.

Dong Ruyi's voice sounded, "This is the excerpt of the joint petition of the household officials!" She looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor was silent, so she looked at it.

Dong Ruyi thought in his heart, no wonder it was handed directly to the emperor, no wonder he wanted to jointly ask for guilt, no wonder the emperor was so angry, this matter is really not small.

Dong Wende wrote that the imperial court refused to marry Tibetan, which caused people everywhere to take out IOUs in their hands and ask the court for silver taels. Household officials stationed in various localities due to private loans sent a letter to explain the matter three days ago.

Dong Wende convened the officials of the Central Household Department in Beijing overnight to discuss, and they originally wanted to find a safe solution. But after three days, there were more and more of the same things, involving as much as 18 million taels of silver. Eighteen million taels is no longer something that can be solved by the Ministry of Households, so Dong Wende brought officials who supported private lending to ask for guilt.

They came this time, ready to lose their heads. Now I only hope that Your Majesty will open the net and not raid the house.

Dong Ruyi lowered his eyebrows and quickly thought of a solution.

The emperor said angrily: "What do you say this is called, what you said earlier one by one is decent, why do you ask for private loans, ten-year deadlines......

How long has it been since they came to me one by one and asked me for money?"

Dong Ruyi was silent, and let the emperor roar angrily.

The emperor looked at Dong Ruyi's calm face and slowly calmed down. He sighed heavily, "Zhang Fuhai, King Chuan Qing and Wei Xiang entered the palace." Obviously, the emperor also understands that these things have nothing to do with Dong Ruyi.

Dong Ru thought that the emperor calmed down and showed a sweet smile.

Without waiting for Zhang Fuhai to leave, Dong Ruyi handed the fold to Zhang Fuhai. She said softly: "Ruyi should be a big deal, the emperor's uncle is important, but he must not be angry because of such a trivial matter." ”

Zhang Fuhai's hand trembled when he received the book, this is also called a trivial matter? If the imperial court can't come up with the silver, there will be a civil uprising at any time.

The emperor's eyes widened, "Such a big thing, or a small thing?"

Dong Ruyi's voice was still flat, "Have officials from all over the country ever explained that if they get back the silver taels like this, not only will they not get a penny of silver, but they will also have to pay for the silver that broke the contract?"

Zhang Fuhai said in a low voice: "Dong Shangshu said that it has already been explained. So the people still demanded money. This thing... It's not as simple as the little marquis thinks. ”

Dong Ruyi nodded.

Zhang Fuhai saw that Dong Ruyi understood, and hurriedly went to pass the word.

The emperor sat down, tiredness mixed with weakness welling up in his heart.

Dong Ruyi stepped forward, she picked up the tea on the table, "Uncle Huang, take a sip of tea!"

The emperor shook his head, "Ruyi, come and sit with me for a while." ”

Dong Ruyi looked at the emperor, and the emperor was afraid that he was exhausted.

She hurriedly ran to the side door, and then shouted, "Wang Xi, bring a chair here." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this dragon chair was really not something that anyone could sit on.

Wang Xi commanded the two fathers-in-law and brought a higher chair in.

The emperor said: "Put it here." He said, pointing to the side of the dragon chair.

Wang Xi and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly did as instructed.

Dong Ruyi and the emperor sat side by side, none of them looked at anyone, and none of them spoke.

As soon as Zhang Fuhai came out of the study, he was stopped by Dong Wende.

Dong Wende said anxiously: "Father-in-law Zhang, Ruyi ....." He knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly changed his words, "How is the situation inside?"

Other household officials also gathered around.

Zhang Fuhai glanced at the curious crowd and said in a low voice: "The little marquis is fine." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly called the waiter who was waiting outside the study, and ordered: "Hurry up and go to the palace to pass on the Qing prince and Wei Xiang." ”

The chamberlain ordered to leave, Zhang Fuhai nodded at Dong Wende, and then walked back.

The household officials were overjoyed, and when King Qing and Wei Xiang entered the palace, they were open to them. As long as they can save their families, they will not be sorry to die.

When Zhang Fuhai returned to the study, he saw the two sitting side by side. It's just that the emperor frowned, and Ruyi Hou was no different from usual.

The emperor muttered, "What are you going to do with this?" He reached out and touched Dong Ruyi's head, "I'm really in a hurry, I actually asked you." ”

Zhang Fuhai lowered his head and walked towards the emperor. He sighed silently, the emperor has paid a lot for Da Zhou!

Dong Ruyi tilted his head sideways, "Since the people are willing to pay for the silver, according to Ruyi, this matter is still private." ”

The emperor's hand stopped in mid-air, and Zhang Fuhai was stunned.

The emperor withdrew his hand and wondered: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Dong Ruyi smiled slightly, "It's just that I bought their money privately, and their previous and future profits all belong to the latter." ”

The emperor smiled, "The idea is good, but it's not very feasible." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "If the emperor's uncle is willing, Ruyi can buy the IOU in the hands of the people, but the IOU bought by the emperor has to trouble the officials from all over the country to make a new one."

Oh, by the way, isn't there still a payment of silver? The silver paid is divided into two, half of it is wishful thinking, and the other half is given to the busy officials, and they can't be allowed to work in vain, right?"

The emperor looked at Dong Ruyi blankly, and Zhang Fuhai opened his mouth wide in surprise.

It took a long time for the emperor to say solemnly: "Do you know how much silver it is?"

Dong Ruyi pointed to the book on the dragon case, "Isn't there eighteen million taels of silver written on it?"

The emperor exclaimed, "Are you crazy, that's eighteen million taels of silver, you should be eighteen hundred taels!"

No matter how much Dong Ruyi's net worth is, it is not silver for nothing. Like all people, most of the net worth is real estate, land, shops, etc.

Dong Ruyi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't be excited, don't you just sell houses, sell land, and sell sellers." Besides, the imperial court didn't borrow and not pay it back, didn't it still have silver and silver. ”

Dong Ruyi looked at the emperor, and the emperor also looked at Dong Ruyi.

The emperor is completely speechless at the moment, he has never seen anyone who can sell a house and sell it so lightly. If this is said to be someone else's business, it is not an exaggeration to say that he cheated the child of money.
