A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and now it is nearly 20,000 taels of silver, in fact, Chang Yu's own family background is 100,000 yuan, but he can't carry it with him when he goes out of Beijing, so he only brings more than 500 taels on the side.

So he looked at Wei Jingyi, the history books recorded: In the siege of Ningwu Pass by the thief army, Wei Jingying begged Jiang Hao to send troops to rescue, Jiang did not obey, under the grief and anger, Wei Jingyu borrowed all his family property to raise 950 taels of gold to attack the soldiers, and prepared to lead the troops to aid Ningwu, but Jiang Hao blocked the trip and did not make the trip.

How much is nine hundred and fifty taels of gold worth? At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once stipulated that the price of one tael of gold was the same as four taels of silver, but gold was not a currency in circulation, so the regulations were stipulated, and in the five or six hundred years of the Ming and Qing dynasties, gold and silver were exchanged at the equivalent price of one to ten! One thousand taels of gold is one thousand taels of silver.

The so-called water is clear, there is no fish, Wei Jingyu is a clean official, clear and honest, but not to the extent that there is no fish, a dignified governor is quite the head of a province in later generations, smashing the pot and selling iron to borrow more than 10,000 silver, this is not much, after all, since the ages, the official to the clear and fishless is only Jackie Chan alone.

Seeing Chang Yu looking at him, Wei Jingyu was stunned at first, not understanding what he meant, and then reflected: "Father-in-law Chang, the lower officials have some savings, but they are far from enough!" ”

Chang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, what did he think, he hadn't forced it to that strength yet, Wei Jingyu would take out a few thousand taels at most, it was a drop in the bucket, and he couldn't solve the problem.

So, there's only one way!

Visit the Acting King!

As we all know, compared to the prince of the Qing Dynasty who was kept in captivity in the capital, the prince of the Ming Dynasty was much more comfortable, free-range in various places in the country, and one side was free for the king to do whatever he wanted.

Of course, everything is relative, although these princes are at ease in the fiefdom, but they must not easily leave the fiefdom, except for entering Beijing once every few years to congratulate, without the emperor's approval can only jump in their own one acre and three points of land.

The palace is in the middle of Datong to the north, covering an area of 180,000 square meters, more than 20 palaces of all sizes, 800 houses, in strict accordance with the specifications of the palace of the former dynasty and the back city, the left ancestor and the right society, known as the first palace in the world

Why? It is not because the king is the richest prince or the prince with the largest fief, but the palace is the largest, and other palaces can only be regarded as a small garden compared to it.

Chang Yu and his entourage arrived on horseback, and Wei Jingyu sat in the carriage due to a foot disease, and arrived at the south gate of the palace in less than two moments, which is the main gate.

Looking at the majestic gatehouse and the huge and fierce stone lions in front of the mansion, Chang Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't know if this generation of princes is easy to talk to?" ”

The meaning of his words is naturally to ridicule the first generation of the king Zhu Gui, the thirteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the most arrogant one, his personality is irritable, ruthless, and lawless in the fiefdom since he became a vassal, oppressing the people, looting the people's ointment, and provoking the anger of the heavens, so that his nephew Emperor Jianwen couldn't stand it, and he was cut to the common people as soon as he came to power. It wasn't until Zhu Di took the throne that he was restored to his princehood, but this thing became even worse, thinking that the emperor was my fourth brother or my brother-in-law, and Lao Tzu would be lawless.

And in fact, although Zhu Di can't get used to him, after all, he is his own brother and can't bear to be ruthless, he just sent a text message to persuade him, and then he will scare and scare, anyway, he didn't really treat him, so that this scourge will live until three out of seventy.

"This generation of kings has a milder temperament, but Wang Shizi is young and vigorous, and he has some temperament" Wei Jingyu of course knew the stalk in Chang Yu's words, and answered with a smile.

"Dare to ask Lord Wei, the name of this generation of kings" Chang Yu really doesn't remember the name of the last generation of kings, he only knows that he is the last generation, the eleventh generation.

"Zhu Chuan?" (jiyin, can't be typed, for the convenience of the same few) Wei Jingyu said while writing in the palm of his hand to Chang Yu to read.

Chang Yu suddenly had a black line, and he didn't know what was wrong with the old Zhu family, except for the emperor's lineage, the names given by future generations were all rare words, which were not only difficult to read but also difficult to write.

After reporting their identities, everyone waited for half a pillar of incense, and someone opened the door, but it was the chief historian of the palace steward who came to confirm the identity of the visitor, and then turned around and entered the palace to report.

Seeing that a prince was so troublesome and put on such a big score, Chang Yu felt a little disdainful in his heart.

Wei Jingyu observed his words and looked at his thoughts, and smiled slightly: "The prince lives in a simple place, and it is customary for Changshi to come forward in general affairs."

Chang Yu smiled and didn't speak.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, there was finally a family to welcome guests into the house.

But not long after entering the mansion, he was asked by the family to not bring weapons into the house.

"Presumptuous! Jinyiwei ...... "Wu Mengming just wanted to make a score, but was glared at by Chang Yu, you are not here to show your majesty now, we are borrowing money!"

The retinue handed over their weapons, and then followed the family through the corridor and the hall to meet the king.

Although the palace is magnificent, Chang Yu has seen a big scene in the palace, and he has no heart to appreciate the style of the palace, so he silently followed the family all the way to the front of the first hall.

The prince is the emperor's brother, and he needs to make a big salute when he sees him, and he calls a thousand years old, this is a ritual system, even if Chang Yu comes through in later generations, he has to follow it, and follow Wei Jingyu to learn from him.

Wei Jingyu is not the first time to come to the palace, he and the acting king have a very harmonious relationship at this time, they move around a lot on weekdays, and almost all of them are in the inner mansion, as casual as friends.

The reason why I chose to meet in the front hall of the palace this time was that of course it was because the people who heard the Jinyiwei and Dongchang on behalf of the king put on this posture.

Zhu Chuan is more than forty years old, not tall, rich and white, with a short beard, slightly majestic, and at this time he is on the throne looking at the three people in front of him.

Changshi's report made him puzzled, the commander of Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang came hand in hand, it was really unexpected, although he knew that the royal family was keeping a close eye on the feudal kings in various places, and there were fiefdom officials and Jinyiwei's spies in the dark on weekdays, but it was rare to come to the door so directly, although he would not be able to keep to himself, but he also had no intention of rebelling, it was difficult to be falsely accused!

The guests and hosts sat down, the fragrant tea was served, and Wu Mengming and Chang Yu each visited their homes.

Wu Mengming's Jinyi Guard commander made it real money, but Chang Yu was just playing a side game, of course he didn't directly say that he was from Dongchang, but his words always made others mistakenly think that he was, and he didn't deny it anyway.

Although Zhu Chuanji also suspected that he was dressed incorrectly, the stalls in charge of going out to investigate the case in Dongchang were all white boots and brown clothes, but he thought that he might be out of the palace to do errands and act in plain clothes.

But he didn't doubt Chang Yu's identity, after all, it was brought by Wei Jingyu, and the person who dared to pretend to be Jinyiwei and Dongchang was probably not born yet.

What the hell, borrow food!

Zhu Chuan almost didn't fall headlong, laid out the score, thought of various countermeasures, and thought about how to deal with the two famous villains of Daming, but unexpectedly, people didn't come to investigate the case at all, but to borrow money.

Wood has!

As soon as Zhu Chuanji heard about borrowing money, he got up and was about to leave, but was persuaded by Wei Jingyu: "Lord, listen to me and wait until I finish speaking."

For the sake of Wei Jingyu's face, Zhu Chuanji sat down again, thinking in his heart what you say, anyway, he won't borrow it.

"Lord Wang, it's borrowing, not asking you to donate, and it's only borrowed for ten days, and it will be repaid in half a month at most," Wei Jingyu said patiently.

"Ten days and a half months to return? What about teasing this king, the imperial treasury is empty, what to take? Zhu Chuanji snorted coldly, looking arrogant.

Chang Yu sighed secretly in his heart, you also know that the treasury is empty, and you also know that the imperial court can't get food, but you, who are also descendants of the Zhu family, are watching jokes on the sidelines, with thousands of family wealth, but you don't want to give up a grain, I really don't know if there are no eggs under the nest, or if you want the emperor to collapse, you will have a chance!

Zhu Chuanji's words made Wei Jingyu speechless, and turned his head to look at Chang Yu.

Chang Yu smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "What the prince said was before, although the imperial court's treasury is not full now, it is by no means empty as rumored by the outside world, if it is really empty, how can I get 500,000 taels of silver to escort this time!" ”

"You're here on a payroll? Remanded 500,000 taels? Zhu Chuan was stunned, which made him very surprised, but also very suspicious, and looked at Wei Jingyu, because he knew that this person was loyal and sincere, and would not lie.

"Lord, it's true, Father-in-law Chang, Lord Wu escorted 500,000 taels of silver from the capital this time, and sent more than 100,000 in Xuanfu, and the remaining more than 300,000 just sent in Datong. Wei Jingyu hurriedly said.

Zhu Chuanji believed that Wei Jingyu would naturally not send someone to inquire, but looked at Chang Yu with a puzzled face: "Where did the imperial court get the money, and raised so much in such a short time?" ”

"The courtiers and nobles in Beijing donate salaries" Chang Yu smiled slightly, and Wu Mengming, who was beside him, couldn't help but smile when he didn't know what to think.

"But this king has heard that there are few donations" Zhu Chuanji raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.

"The rumors are not credible, if there are really few of them, the 500,000 yuan that the lowly post is a stone, and as far as the lowly post knows, there are at least two hundred taels left in the treasury at this time" Chang Yu looked at Zhu Chuanji intently, with a confident face.

"Oh, so many!" Zhu Chuanji was very surprised, and then asked, "How much do you want to borrow?" ”

"200,000 silver, 100,000 stone grain"

"So much" Zhu Chuanji suddenly grinned: "No! ”

200,000 silver can still be discussed, but 100,000 stone of grain is an astronomical amount, according to the calculation of later generations, one stone is equivalent to 120 catties, and 100,000 is 1.2 million catties, equivalent to 600 tons.

"Lord Wang, it's borrowing, not donating!" Wei Jingyu hurriedly said.

"I don't have so much to borrow!" Zhu Chuanji understands that the value of grain in these years is not comparable to silver at all, because many times you can't buy grain even if you have money. So whether he has it or not, he doesn't want to borrow.

"Lord Wang, have you heard about King Fu?" Chang Yu said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the atmosphere was a little awkward.
