Chapter 13 Fundraising Turmoil

"Alas, to put the great merchants in such a situation, we are vain courtiers!"

Some officials sighed deeply with a look of guilt on their faces.

"If the frontier is broken and the Nanqiang cavalry enters the country, our courtiers will be lambs to the slaughter!"

"By then, we will all be sinners!"

"Alas......"

The ministers talked about it, and for a while, some people were panicked.

And these are all driven by Yun Yi's acting skills.

To be honest, Yun Yike had never found out that he had this kind of acting skills before.

"Silence!"

When there was a buzz in the court, Yun Yi's voice was extremely loud, he had a compelling temperament, and his face was full of justice and awe.

"Father! Now that the crisis is imminent, the subjects of the Great Merchants should be united and outward! ”

"I and all the courtiers can't wait to dedicate everything we have to the big merchants, so the sons and the ministers are willing to share the worries of the monarch and donate money together to make up for the big merchants!"

"The mountain falls and everyone backs, and the tree falls and everyone resists, I believe that as long as we are all willing to do a little effort, there will be no difficulty that can defeat us!"

"I, Zhongling Palace, am willing to donate 10,000 taels!"

What Yun Yi said was an impassioned, enthusiastic, and righteous speech......

Saying that, Yun Yi glanced at the cheap uncle vaguely, which meant "You come out with this 10,000 taels after the work, I don't have any money!" ”

Yu Deshou saw what it meant, and immediately had a toothache, this is Uncle Pit! Even if your surname is Yun and my surname is Yu, you still have half of the bloodline of my Yu family, you can't be so cunning!

However, now that the arrow is ready to be released, this scene must be performed!

He stepped out and said with a "fiery" expression: "Your Majesty, what the King of Zhongling said is exactly what our courtiers want to say, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the ministers are willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver!" ”

Hiss~

The two sang and harmonized, which immediately made the audience gasp.

It is understandable that 10,000 taels of Zhongling Wangfu is worth it, but Yu Deshou's 100,000 taels! The Yu family is really wealthy!

However, the Yu family's heritage can indeed afford this money, after all, it is a century-old family, and I want to ...... back then

There are also people who hate it so much, being pitted like Yu Deshou, a rich family like him must bleed, otherwise it will be recorded in a small book by the Shang Emperor, which is not a good thing.

"Lao Chen is willing to donate 10,000 taels for my big business!"

"The minister also donated 10,000 taels to the big business!"

"The old minister is too, 10,000 taels!"

"Minister"

……

For a time, the six Shangshu came out together, each with 10,000 taels, which brought the atmosphere in the venue to the peak.

"Yes, yes! All of you Aiqing are worthy of being loyal ministers of my great business! I will not forget your contribution to the Great Merchants! ”

When Emperor Shang saw that the problem that had been giving him a headache was about to be solved, he immediately smiled happily.

When the courtiers below heard Emperor Shang's words, they all forced a smile.

Now it's okay, the ministers have been pushed to the edge of the fire pit, and they can't jump anymore.

Dashang is in crisis, and even the highest status of the people have come forward to show the rate, if you don't donate, are you still an official?

"The minister is willing to donate a thousand taels!"

"Donate 10,000 taels!"

"Thirty thousand taels ......"

……

The ministers donated one after another, and after a while, not counting the 200,000 taels allocated by Emperor Shang from the inner treasury and the 100,000 taels donated by Yu Deshou, it already exceeded the 700,000 taels needed by the military department.

In the end, the Shang Emperor counted the donations, plus the 300,000 from Neiku and Yu Deshou, and there were more than 1.5 million in total!

There were more than 100 courtiers in the court, and each person had to donate an average of 10,000 taels to make up such a figure.

This is far more than expected, and there is a lot of money left over after buying the horses that can be used for more things.

At this time, Hubu Shangshu was already very happy, and he would not have to fight with those old guys for money for a long time in the future.

In such a situation, everyone was naturally happy, the Shang Emperor was happy, and the courtiers were also relieved.

At this time, Yun Yi suddenly stood up and said with a serious face: "Father, the son has something to say!" ”

Emperor Shang was stunned, the money had already arrived, what else did he have to say?

He glanced at Yun Yi deeply and said, "Quasi-play!" ”

Yun Yi smiled slightly, walked straight to a six-rank minister and asked, "This lord, dare to ask the honorable name?" ”

This person glanced at Yun Yi in surprise, he didn't know why Yun Yi was looking for him, but he still bowed down and said, "Go back to Your Highness, go to the official Wenhai!" ”

"It turned out to be Lord Fang, fortunately, I will be lucky!"

"Dare to ask Lord Fang's official residence?"

Seeing that Yun Yi asked about his official position, Fang Wenhai was slightly stunned, and said in his heart: "Could it be that these three princes are ready to let themselves be promoted when they see that they have donated the most?" ”

That's a good thing! At that time, in order to please the emperor, he donated 30,000 taels, did it work?

Thinking of this, Fang Wenhai had a smile on his face.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the lower official is the household servant, and he belongs to the fourth grade!"

"Oh, Lord Fang, do you have a farm house at home?"

In addition to promotion, do you also want to reward land? Thinking about it, Fang Wenhai smiled even brighter.

"There are 200 acres of land at home!"

"That lord, what do parents do at home? But the clan? ”

Another question was thrown, the smile on Fang Wenhai's face suddenly froze, and he suddenly felt something wrong in his heart.

"What's wrong? Master Fang, talk back! Why don't I send someone to check it out? ”

Yun Yi had a smile on his face, but a layer of cold sweat oozed from Fang Wenhai's forehead, he felt that this smile was like a devil, trying to pull himself into the abyss.

His face instantly turned pale, and his body trembled and said: "Return, if you go back to Your Highness, you will be a farmer for generations in the Xiaguan family......"

"Wow!"

Yun Yi suddenly shouted, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, slashing into Fang Wenhai's heart, and also into the hearts of individual ministers in the crowd.

"Fang Wenhai, it turns out that my big business has become rich to such a point, a six-grade official with no family background and no land can donate 30,000 taels at will!"

The audience was dead silent, Fang Wenhai pouted, sat on the ground, his lips were white, and his whole body trembled.

He is usually used to being lavish, and when he donated, he didn't think of the truth that the wealth was not exposed, but he didn't expect to be caught!

Many courtiers like him also changed their faces at this time.

Yun Yi sneered, walked up to a fourth-grade official and said, "Your family is also very rich!" A casual donation is 50,000 taels, these 50,000 taels are enough to buy the king's Zhongling Palace! ”

"Xia, the ancestor of Xia Guan went to business and left a sum of money, so ...... So ......"

"Yo, then your ancestor is really powerful, such a powerful way of doing business, it's a pity to be an official!"

After speaking, Yun Yi ignored him and continued to walk in front of one official after another, these officials had ghosts in their hearts, and before Yun Yi could ask questions, they exposed themselves.

The painting style of the entire hall changed abruptly for a while, from a happy donation meeting to a dialectical meeting to expose corrupt officials.
