Chapter 9, One Million Taels of Silver

Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Fengnian took 200,000 taels of silver tickets and went straight to the Pilgrimage Department on Ruihe Road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info secretly hated that the news came too late, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted silver on his opponent. He was full of energy and ran to the Yamen. Looking around, the courtyard is really old. I didn't even put a lion to suppress evil spirits! The adults in the yamen don't look as glamorous as the people in his family. Like an old goat dying of hunger!

Lin Fengnian stepped forward, did not salute or greet, and went straight to the point, "Yazhou Lin family, come to donate." ”

The old goat-like salute lord trembled, "...... How much do you donate? ”

Lin Fengnian smiled proudly, "Two hundred thousand taels." ”

Lord Chao was so excited that his face was flushed and he was panting unevenly. Reach out and take it. Lin Fengnian hid the silver ticket behind his back, "Register it first!" Then send someone to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know. ”

Nodding to the relief lord, he took out the account book. When writing, my hands are shaking constantly. Lin Fengnian thought to himself, this guy is so old, there is really no one in the imperial court! "Hey, this lord, can you get by with the money raised by the imperial court recently?"

The old man lowered his head and replied without looking at him, "It's okay, it's okay." Recently, there have been many good deeds. ”

Lin Fengnian suddenly became vigilant, "Oh? Anyone else else who has donated money besides me? ”

The old man shuddered and closed the account book, "Yes." ”

"But someone donates more than the Lin family?"

The old man looked at him with cloudy eyes, turned to him, and said, "Yes." The highest person will donate 500,000 taels! ”

When Lin Fengnian heard it, it was like being struck by lightning! Someone in the realm of the Wind Country can get 500,000 taels! The news shocked him and he was numb! The old man was silent, stamped the court seal on the receipt, and handed it to Lin Fengnian with both hands.

Lin Fengnian received it in his hand in a daze, and it took a while to react, and he asked nervously, "Dare to ask my lord, which one donated so much?" ”

The old man drooped his wrinkled eyelids, and told him without confidence, "The people who participated in the selection of concubines......

When Lin Fengnian heard this, how could he stand it? Stand frozen for a moment, pull your legs and leave! Go back and transfer the money and fight with these people to the end!

The old man looked at his back with guilt and sighed deeply.

There are still five days left before the concubine is chosen. In order to compete for the first place, Lin Fengnian was so busy that he jumped up and down, almost hollowing out the Lin family's money bank in the capital. He also had people hurry, and he got money from elsewhere. Moreover, he sent people to the grain depot hidden in the mountains of the Lin family, preparing to move it to the sky.

On the third day before the selection of concubines, he finally sent a donation that was enough to shock the government and the opposition to the court relief department: one million taels of silver, plus a 100,000 stone grain white slip that was cashed in five days!

In order to let the whole world know, he exchanged all the silver tickets into silver, and carried more than 200 large boxes like a marriage. The queue was long, and there were more than a hundred guards alone. At the end, there are also troupes beating gongs and drums, lion and dragon dances. He and Steward Lin walked at the forefront, holding a golden banner with the words, "When the national disaster is at the head, stand up, the Lin family will give up a million taels of family wealth!" ”

The whole Ruihe Road fryer is gone! Pedestrians and vendors are all out of business, scrambling to follow the line, wanting to see if the million taels of silver are real! A million taels of silver! That's more than the silver of the entire Windy Country! How many people have never seen and heard in their lives!

The Lin family donated so much money, don't you want to live it!

People looked at Lin Fengnian in front of the team, he was richly dressed, his face was delicate, his eyes were bent and he was smiling, just like the God of Wealth in the New Year's painting! Except for the God of Wealth, no one has ever heard of anyone scattering silver like this!

The boss of the Pilgrimage Department was so frightened and frightened that he almost fainted when he got the news in advance. He has been upright all his life and has never done anything deceitful. Unexpectedly, this time with a few simple words, I got a million taels of silver. The old man looked at the long procession from afar, and there was no joy in his heart, but he felt that this procession was here to give him a funeral!

The team walked slowly and arrived at the door of the Pilgrim Relief Division. The gongs and drums went out, and the human voices faded away. All the onlookers held their breath and waited for the exciting moment. Lin Fengnian smiled around and announced loudly, "At the time of the national crisis, the Lin family in Yazhou is willing to give up all their wealth and give one million taels of silver to the imperial court!" Plus 100,000 stone grain white strips, which will be cashed in five days - Lord Summons, please check the silver! ”

After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted in earth-shattering cheers. The applause is like a tidal wave, and it cannot be interrupted for a long time.

Without waiting for the boss of the Morning Relief Division to open the box and inspect the silver, Mo Ling, the commander of the guards of the East Palace, suddenly appeared, bringing dozens of military guards, household officials, etc. He drove the crowd away and ordered all the boxes to be carried into the treasury of the Hajj Relief Division. Then, the household officials carefully inspected and carefully entered into the register.

Mo Ling was dressed in a dark robe, and his momentum was cold. The face carved with the knife and axe makes people dare not get close.

However, he took the initiative to talk to Lin Fengnian, "Lin Gongzi, I am in Moling." Childe's generosity is a blessing for the country. Mo Ling expressed his gratitude to the prince on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

As soon as Lin Fengnian heard that he was the crown prince's person, his eyes immediately lit up tenfold. hurriedly shook Mo Ling and put it up almost up. "Lord Mo, our food will arrive in the disaster areas within five days. The refugees on this side of the capital will also receive 10,000 stones. Tomorrow will be there! "Because, he and his sister are going to put on a show before choosing a concubine, and they must come when they give a death order.

"Lin Gongzi is dedicated to the country, which is admirable!"

Lin Fengnian lowered his voice and said in a tone of peddling secrets, "Don't hide it from my lord, these are my sister's ideas. She has a kind heart and can't see others suffer a little. When I entered the city, I saw the appearance of the refugees, and I longed to cut the meat for them to eat......."

The corners of Mo Ling's mouth twitched, and his eyes stared at him like two cold springs. Lin Fengnian said a little hesitantly, "Hey? Master Mo, have you and I met somewhere? I feel like you're a little familiar. ”

"Oh? Mo Ling was not impressed. ”

Lin Fengnian stared at him for a moment, he really couldn't think of it, so he didn't bother about it anymore. still continued to talk about his sister, and praised her as more merciful than Guanyin Niangniang.

Mo Ling was frantically instilled by him, and when he heard the words "my sister", he felt a little drunken discomfort, and then couldn't help but ask him quietly, "Lin Gongzi, forgive me for being ignorant, the Lin family is so rich, why should I care about the position of a crown princess?" ”

Lin Fengnian said with his eyes, "You are stupid", and nodded, "No matter how poor the prince is, he is also the prince." He will be the emperor in the future. My sister married him, and she will be this one among women in the future! He proudly gave a thumbs up, "You say, with my sister's talent and national color, how can she be wronged in an ordinary people's family?" ”

Mo Ling looked inspired, and said thoughtfully, "Reasonable, reasonable." ”

"I also asked Lord Mo to say a few kind words in front of the prince. After the deed is completed, the benefits of Lord Mo are indispensable. After speaking, Lin Fengnian stuffed a piece of something into Mo Ling's hand, "Here you go, there is just a piece of ink jade, which matches your name very well, take it and play with it first." ”

Mo Ling stared at this dumb man speechlessly, and really wanted to knock on his brain to see how it grew, and the people on the street stared at it, so he dared to blatantly bribe! In order to be a princess, he is simply crazy, and if he continues like this, the prince may not dare not want his sister!

Mo Ling returned the jade to him and said, "Mo Mou is in a public office, so he doesn't dare to do this." ”

Lin Fengnian insisted on giving. Almost attached to him. In normal times, Mo Ling would have chopped him to death. But now, people have just given up their wealth for the country, and it seems inappropriate to be beaten up! I had to excuse myself, "I'll talk about it after it's done." ”

When Lin Fengnian heard that there was a play, he gave him a thumbs up! Mo Ling couldn't bear it anymore and turned his face away.

The work of checking the silver was carried out in an intense and orderly manner. Outside the gate of the Pilgrimage, people refused to leave for a long time, hoping for some wealth, and the roads were congested.

Lin Fengnian was complacent and extremely satisfied with the scene he had caused. He looked around at the living beings, and those eyes full of shock and envy made him fluttering and intoxicated.

But ten zhang away, the man under the jujube tree seems to be a bit unique!

The guy was wearing a cyan robe, with fluttering hair and a clear demeanor, and he was about thirty years old. With an unfathomable smile, staring at him. His eyes were as bright as lightning.

Lin Fengnian's heart suddenly felt that this person was so strange and annoying. He touched Mo Ling with his elbow and whispered, "Look, my lord, that guy sees that Young Master Ben is rich and wants to seduce me." If he dares to do it, I'll pull out his beard!" ”

Mo Ling choked hard. It took a lot of effort to pick up the phone, "That's the Qingwu Dao chief of Qiuxue Temple...... Very decent. Young Master Lin doesn't need to worry too much. ”

Lin Fengnian glanced at the green man coldly, "Hmph, it's better to be like this." ”

Mo Ling: "......"

At this time, the emperor of the Wind Country was happily living on the bed of the concubine. The eunuch Han Xi risked being beheaded and interrupted the emperor's good deeds. After taking a heartwarming kick, he said incoherently, "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, how dare the old slave disturb the emperor if it is not a great thing!" ”

"Say, if there is no good thing, you dog slave will not escape death today." The emperor stood on the ground with a bare voice.

"Your Majesty, the Lin family in Yazhou has just donated one million taels of silver to the country!"

"What?"

"A million taels! Emperor! Han Xi's face was full of distorted joy, "Your imperial tomb can be built!" ”

"Is it really a million taels?" The emperor became agitated, and his expression was as fierce as if he wanted to eat people.

"It's true. The entire Ruihe Road, thousands of empty alleys, all ran to the relief department. ”

"Donate to the Pilgrimage?" The emperor suddenly asked nervously, "Does the prince know?" ”

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked the household department to enter the account." Han Xi saw that the emperor's expression was not good, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, and unconsciously relaxed his tone.

Sure enough, when he said this, he immediately received a big slap in the face, and he was directly beaten out of blood. The emperor didn't bother to put on clothes, so he punched and kicked him, "Dead castration, why didn't you report it earlier?" If the silver is taken away by him, how will it be used to build the imperial tomb! It's all you...... It's all you who give me bad things! ”

As soon as he breathed, the emperor didn't dare to delay, and shouted to the guards outside the palace, "Tang Yunteng, come here!" ”

The guard, named Tang Yunteng, stepped into the inner room with his head down, not daring to take a second look around. I only listened to the emperor's instructions, "You immediately lead a team of men and horses to carry the silver to the treasury of my palace." Make no mistake! One or two less, I want your eyeballs! ”

“....... Obey the order. ”
