Chapter 478: Fifty Million Taels
Chapter 478: Fifty Million Taels
"My lord, the emperor is holding a banquet at West Lake, please come over." The housekeeper received the notice of the eunuch and hurriedly went to find Chunge, it is really strange to say, the emperor and Chunge see each other every day, what is there to set up a table and a banquet, to talk about it.
"Just me?" Chun Ge was sorting out the account books in the study at this time, and asked lightly.
"I also invited Lin Xiang and Lord Lin, and I have already sent someone to inform you." The housekeeper is an official family member who came to inform Chunge, and as for the Lin family's father and son, it was reported by other servants.
"You go down first and prepare the carriage and horses, and I will be there later." Chun Ge straightened the account book on the table, looked down at his clothes, it was really casual, if he went to see Su Jianyu like this, he was afraid that he would be ginseng tomorrow, saying that he was despising the emperor, he should honestly change into decent clothes.
It wasn't until Chun Ge met with the Lin family's father and son that they glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of clarity. As the saying goes, there is no good wine in wine, and there is no good banquet in the banquet, Su Jianyu took such a lot of pains, not to put a Hongmen banquet, why, the worst thing is still them, so they can't help but go.
"The emperor is also attentive to the old man." Lin Xiang got into the carriage and meticulously sorted out his clothes.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's just a meal." Chun Ge pretended to respond easily.
Chun Ge didn't understand that the emperor and Lin Xiang had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and now they were entering a stage of stalemate with each other, and Lin Xiang also lowered his arrogant head in a timely manner. I only hope that this retreat will not make Su Jianyu see it as fear, so that he will gain an inch, otherwise Chunge's maneuvering in it will be in vain.
"This is Hangzhou, not the capital, and it's not a wise move to deal with your father in your territory, I don't think he will do it." Lin Xiang's forces are rooted in the north and the capital division, and Su Jianyu's methods will only show the greatest effect in the capital. Therefore, Lin Xun felt that Su Jianyu would not rashly attack Lin Yuan, especially in Hangzhou, if he couldn't take it in one fell swoop, he would startle the snake. Give Lin Xiang time to prepare, and what will be ushered in will be to return to the capital to fight, at that time, both defeats will be inevitable, and it will give the king of the north an opportunity to take advantage of, with Su Jianyu's shrewdness, he will definitely not do this kind of thing that harms others and benefits himself.
"The old man is not worried about himself, but he is afraid that Chunge will be injured by mistake." After Lin Xiang smiled with Lin Xiang, he naturally knew that Chun Ge was caught between the Lin family and the royal family, and that embarrassing situation. It's really hard to be.
"Although it is difficult to admit that it is a family, I did marry Lin Xun, you are Lin Xun's father, I am afraid of being implicated." Chun Ge glanced at Lin Xun, the past. He won't mention it, he just wants to live a good life in the future.
Chunge took out an account book, flipped a few pages roughly, and said, "My net worth has been sorted out yesterday, I think." Chun Ge clenched the account book and smiled: "With these, save your life." It's still enough. ”
"So fast." Lin Xun was stunned, Chunge's business is all over the country, if you collect the accounts, it won't take half a year, you can't collect it evenly, how can it be in just half a month. It's all sorted.
"Look at it." Chun Ge handed the ledger to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun silently turned out the ledger and didn't look at the start page, he was not interested in Chunge's personal business. Flip straight to the back and see a result. As a result, he, who was used to seeing big scenes, was stunned.
Lin Xiang looked at Lin Xun and didn't react, he leaned forward, only to see the bright numbers on the account book, and he was stunned for a moment, pointing at Chunge, you haven't been able to say a word for a long time.
"With this money, let alone a war with the Northern King, even if it is a stalemate for half a year, it will not be a problem." Chun Ge took back the account book, if it weren't for the tight time, Chun Ge's family property would be more than that, and it could be raised so quickly because Xia Zhiliu had advanced a sum of money first, otherwise he would have to wait until half a year later to calculate Chun Ge's net worth.
"My lord, it's here." The coachman outside stopped the carriage and waited until the three of Chunge got out of the carriage before rushing to rest.
"Dad, you go in first, I have something to say to Chunge." Lin Xun grabbed Chun Ge, who was about to go in, smiled politely at Lin Xiang, and led the person to a corner.
"What's wrong?" Chunge looked at Lin Xun in bewilderment.
"My father's grudge with him is not something you and I want to be involved in." Lin Xun didn't want Chun Ge to join the muddy water.
"I know." Chun Ge pursed his lips and said: "The only person in the court who can compete with Lin Xiang is me, if I also switch to the Lin faction, then Lin Xiang will really be a big tree." ”
"As long as Lin Xiang doesn't commit any crimes of rebellion, according to the practice of Su Bu beheading civil officials, it is not difficult to save Lin Xiang's life." At the beginning, Chunge's father, Guan Peng, offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, if he hadn't come out alive, as long as he didn't step on the bottom line of the royal family, he would still have a chance to live.
However, Chunge never thought that the emperor at that time was not the emperor at this time, and it was the emperor who was merciful, not Su Jianyu, and Lin Xun never mentioned this.
"It's good that you know, I'm afraid that you will have an awkward relationship with him for my sake, which will only increase your troubles." Lin Xun unconsciously stroked Chunge's dark circles, don't think he doesn't know, in the past half a month, Chunge has been staying up late almost every day, even if they see each other every day, there are not many opportunities to speak.
Chun Ge held Lin Xun's hand, this man's hand was not as thick as the second uncle, but it gave him an unprecedented sense of security: "It's also a little busy these days, and after this period, I can lie at home and rest, you have to support me." ”
"Well, after that, I plough the fields by day and spin at night, and you sit and wait for the harvest." Lin Xun grabbed Chun Ge and said seriously.
"That's a good feeling, don't forget to cook." But Chun Ge is just a kicking of the nose and face.
"Of course." Lin Xun obviously took it for granted, but it was like a sycophant, which made Chun Ge laugh.
When Chunge and Lin Xun saw Su Jianyu, they had already started eating, Su Youjun greeted a few times casually, and Chunge and Lin Xun didn't say much, and entered the ranks of tasting food.
This Tianzi's meal is not delicious, every dish needs to wait for Su Jianyu to taste it, slowly and leisurely, a meal is eaten for more than half an hour, and finally the time for dessert is up, and the same is the topic.
"It has been more than 40 years since I ascended the throne, and there is one of them, but the prime minister, only you Lin Xiang." Su Jianyu said this, eight points of sighing, three points of temptation, if it weren't for the fact that everyone here was a human spirit, who could hear the true meaning of these words, to put it bluntly, Su Jianyu disliked people Lin Xiang for too long, and the other positions were changed batch after batch, and now it was the turn of the prime minister.
"Old minister, it is a blessing for old ministers to be able to accompany His Majesty." Lin Xiang shook his head and said gratefully.
"It's not your blessing, it's my old prime minister who is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat." Su Jianyu took out a posture of digging out his heart, and he felt it.
"Those officials, which one is not a few mansions, thousands of acres of fertile land, but you Lin Xiang, alone." Su Jianyu seemed to be drunk, and patted the back of Lin Xiang's hand with trembling hands.
Why does Chun Ge think that this is so awkward, Lin Xiang's greed has never been in money, but in power, monstrous power, you can't imagine at all, are there Lin Xiang's people in all departments of the Su court, they have some details, in other words, they are in control of the operation of the Su court. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and one country does not tolerate two monarchs, Su Jianyu can endure it to this day, and it is already beyond the reach of others.
"Now the Chinese treasury is empty, the king of the inner north is eyeing the tiger, and there are Hu people attacking from time to time, but it is difficult for me to have peace with Su." Su Jianyu looked sad and indignant, as if he was missing a piece of flesh on his body.
Lin Xiang's eyes took away the indifference, and replaced it with a look of the minister who is guilty and the minister should die, to put it mildly, there are two problems, the country has no money, the country has no power, if the treasury is full, is he Su Jianyu afraid of the king of the north, if the power of the country is in his hands, will there still be the existence of the lord and faction, of course, it must be said that most of the people in the lord and faction are Lin Xiang's people.
"The minister can't share the worries of the emperor, the crime deserves death." Saying that, Lin Xiang's old tears tracked the ground, he didn't kneel tightly, Chun Ge Lin Xun would suffer, the capital of the hundred officials should die, do they still have the reason to sit and enjoy happiness.
"What's wrong with you, it's my fault, I can't give the people of the world a prosperous era and a peace, I'm ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors." Su Jianyu cried and cried, and he became addicted, and his hoarse voice was exhausted, which could not be said to be sad for the hearer and tearful for the listener.
"The Hu people have offended my heavenly prestige, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to go to war and raise the prestige of our country." Lin Xiang kowtowed and made his position clear.
Su Jianyu's words have all come to this point, Lin Xiang naturally knows that what Su Jianyu asked, their Lin family is not a big money, of course they can't give financial support, but Lin Xiang is the head of the Lord and the faction. Su Jianyu wanted to send people to the expedition several times, but Lin Xiang was obstructed on the grounds of the emptiness of the treasury, and as soon as Lin Xiang opened his mouth, a large number of officials reconsidered, so the crusade against the Hu people was delayed.
"Reconsideration." Chun Ge and Lin Xun hurriedly answered.
"In previous years, the emperor cared about the people of the world and was unwilling to increase taxes, so that the Hu people were so rampant, and the ministers were willing to offer furniture, and they were only willing to help the emperor return the peace of the world." Chun Ge pulled out the account book from his sleeve and handed it to Su Jianyu respectfully.
"Aiqing has a heart." Su Jianyu was very pleased to take the account book.
Turning the first page, Su Jianyu looked extraordinarily bland, on the second page, Su Jianyu swallowed his saliva, on the third page, Su Jianyu pulled his mouth, on the fourth page, Su Jianyu raised his eyebrows, on the fifth page, on the sixth page, until the last page, Su Jianyu's eyes widened, as if he was frightened by something.
"Fifty million taels." Su Youjun sat on Su Jianyu's left side, his eyes flickered, he didn't have Su Jianyu's good concentration, and immediately exclaimed.
