Chapter 121: Making Excuses
The money is there, but how to get it is a problem.
Although it is now an era of imperial power, the king let the minister die, and the minister has to die. Well, it's just a joke.
This has not happened in all dynasties, unless it is forced to be rejected by hundreds of officials in the court. If it is really like this, the emperor will die if he wants to die, wouldn't it make people panic, and how to create a prosperous world.
Reason?
At this time, only by finding a reasonable reason can you willingly let them come up with the money.
Of course, there is another way, that is, to gather the ministers to donate like Emperor Chongzhen, but Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to do that faceless thing.
Chongzhen in history has summoned his ministers to donate several times, but he donated money, only tens of thousands of taels. For these tens of thousands of taels of silver, Chongzhen can be said to have put his face 108,000 miles away.
The businessmen are heavy on profits, and I believe that the descendants of Jingnan, who have become small business experts, will definitely take advantage of the siege of Houjin to raise grain prices and make a fortune.
However, at this time, we must also make preparations with both hands, in case this group of descendants of Jingjing really honestly sell grain at market prices this time, it will make it a little difficult for them to start, and they can only think of taking time to go to modern society to see if they can buy some grain and grass.
"Otobe, have I arranged for your affairs to be done"?
Zhu Youxiao raised his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian who was standing beside him.
"Emperor, these are the shops of Xu Guogong and others in Beijing, and the shopkeepers of each shop in them are all recorded."
Wei Zhongxian respectfully pulled out a letter from his sleeve, and at the same time was surprised by Zhu Youxiao's ambition.
"This is going to do something to this group of descendants of Jingjing."
Such a big stroke, Wei Zhongxian had never thought of it before. Although the current Wuxun really did not block such a majestic style, it was also a hundred-legged insect that died but did not stiffen.
And after hundreds of years of long-term running-in, the martial artists have long been connected, moving one is equivalent to moving all of them, once this group of martial artists really want to resist, it can definitely set off a stormy wave, which Daming can absolutely not afford.
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Zhongxian felt that Zhu Youxiao's approach was a little too hasty. Even if you really want to take this group of martial artists, you have to wait for the siege of Houjin to enter the city this time, and then slowly boil the frogs in warm water.
"Emperor, the old slave doesn't know whether to say something or not"?
Although Wei Zhongxian is greedy for money and power, one thing is still certain, that is, he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Emperor. Thinking of the consequences of this matter, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Youxiao with a worried face.
"Alright, Otobe. There is no one else here, you don't have to be so reserved, what do you have to say, if I don't think through something, I still need you to remind you"?
Zhu Youxiao patted Wei Zhongxian's shoulder with a smile on his face, revealing endless intimacy.
Zhu Youxiao did this for fear of forcing Wei Zhongxian to be anxious, and now he recruited Sun Chengzong, the pillar of the Donglin Party, back, and reprimanded Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department who belonged to Wei Zhongxian's subordinates. This will more or less make Wei Zhongxian feel a little worried, now his own strength in the court is still too weak, although some personnel have been promoted, but these personnel occupy some insignificant small positions, and they have no right to speak in the court at all.
Wei Zhongxian's role is still very large, not to mention that there are some things that are inconvenient for him to come forward in the future, and it is very likely that they will be handed over to Wei Zhongxian to deal with. After all, the emperor can't always come forward on his own in everything, which will also leave an excuse for the people of the world.
"Emperor, this is just some foolish opinion of the old slave." Bunny Fly
Wei Zhongxian saw that Zhu Youxiao trusted him so much, and he was also grateful in his heart.
Just as Zhu Youxiao thought in his heart, Wei Zhongxian was also a little anxious these days. Now the emperor is recruiting Sun Chengzong of the Donglin Party into Beijing, and after the siege is over, he will inevitably attach the official to his original post. punished Cui Chengxiu again, did he want to abandon himself and support the members of the Donglin Party instead?
"Emperor, these days, the old slave often heard the emperor say that Rome was not built in a day, although the old slave didn't know what this Rome was. Since it was used for construction, it was naturally a very grand project.
Since it takes so long to build, it will naturally take too long to dismantle it, and if it is forcibly demolished at once, it is easy to stir up too much movement.
Now the nobles of our dynasty are speaking to Your Majesty at this time, and the Rome must not be rash."
Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, he reacted at this time, it turned out that Wei Zhongxian was afraid of himself, and he wanted to eradicate the martial artists all of a sudden, for fear of making too big waves.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao burst into laughter, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian helplessly and shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Alright, Otobe. I'm not a three-year-old kid, so I naturally understand this.
This time, I just want to open the knife on some of these blind guys, of course, it won't hurt their lives or some major things, but I just want them to take some money to come out, and I can't break their bones at all, and I believe they won't react too violently."
Wei Zhongxian's face was embarrassed, "Emperor, the old slave is a little too talkative."
Picking up the teacup on the table, I just wanted to take a sip, only to find that there was no tea in it, so I casually put it back in its place.
"It's okay, if you have any doubts in the future, you can ask me directly. In this way, I can also take fewer detours, after all, you have also been in the court for many years, and you will think more about some things than I do."
"The old slave doesn't dare, this time the old slave said more, but I didn't expect that the emperor had already thought of this, with the emperor's ability, after all, he could prosper the Ming Dynasty."
Wei Zhongxian bent down and poured water into the teacup placed on the table, and his kung fu was as calm and unwavering as his kung fu of storing water.
"What's going on with the emperor now"?
"Master Sun is worthy of being a battle-hardened fellow, and he has integrated an army of more than 100,000 people, and he is as flexible as his arms.
It's just that now Lord Sun and Guo Shangshu are also worried about grain and grass at this time, and yesterday Lord Sun complained to Guo Shangshu about why there is so little grain and grass.
I believe that in a few days, Lord Sun and Guo Shangshu will definitely report this matter to His Majesty."
Wei Zhongxian's words are a bit prosaic, but the deep meaning revealed in them is terrifying.
Yesterday, Sun Chengzong and Guo Yunhou had no one else in the big tent, and now Wei Zhongxian actually knows that Sun Chengzong complained to Guo Yunhou, how not to make people feel shocked.
"Since Guo Aiqing and the emperor have not come to me yet, it means that they can still hold out for a few days. However, I believe that they will not be able to hold out for a few days, and if any of them want to come to me in the future, they will be summoned immediately, and there is no need to wait outside the palace."
Zhu Youxiao touched his chin, as if he didn't care about Wei Zhongxian's fact that he knew the content of the conversation between the two, and commanded.
"The old slave knows".
