Chapter 044: Playing with fire will burn yourself
Dingguo Mansion.
More than 100 Jinyi guards stood in front of the house, and in front of them were neatly placed twenty special wooden boxes, which were neatly stacked with silver ingots of the same specification.
"Dingguo Gong is really extraordinary! With so much silver in front of the house in one breath, I don't know what he is doing with so much silver? ”
"Don't you know? I heard that in order to rectify the Beijing army, Dingguo Gong donated the silver he obtained from fighting in Liaodong, in order to make the Beijing army that was overwhelmed by it change its appearance! ”
"But what does this have to do with me and other small people? It's all in the gods fighting......"
In front of the Dingguo Mansion, there were countless people gathered, looking at the silver ingots neatly placed in front of the mansion, the voice of discussion gradually increased.
Zhao Zongwu, who was sitting in front of the main gate, did not have any expression, the breeze came slowly, blowing the account book in front of him, except for the first line of the first page, which was written in small letters: Dingguo Gong donated 100,000 taels of silver, there was no trace of writing.
Two hours had passed since he retreated from the court and he sat here, but the ministers did not react to this.
Chen Qiyu, who was beside him, bowed down and said, "Grandpa Guo, it's windy outside, why don't you go back to the house to rest first......" In the end, Chen Qiyu was a little hesitant in his expression.
Although the grandfather of his own country did this to raise silver salary, according to Chen Qiyu's time in the capital, he knew very well in his heart what kind of existence this group of officials and nobles were, and if he wanted to pull out the silver from their hands, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky!
Zhao Zongwu waved his hand casually, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Yuxuan is too underestimated by my father, a little wind is nothing, my father knows what you mean, but my father is sitting here, and my father wants to see if the person who claims to be loyal and good to the Ming Dynasty on weekdays will stand up when it comes to the critical time." ”
From the beginning of thinking of this trick, Zhao Zongwu never thought about how much silver he could pull out from the hands of officials and nobles, after all, Chongzhen in history had done similar things, but the results obtained were quite unsatisfactory, but after King Li Zicheng invaded the capital, he sent soldiers and horses to loot out a large amount of gold and silver wealth......
It's ironic.
Time is passing little by little, and soon an afternoon of time has passed, and at this time there are five people who came to donate silver in the account books, Gongshun Hou Wu Ruyin, Yangwu Hou Xue Lian, Xianning Hou Qiu Ying, Wuding Hou Guo Yingqi, and Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, these five people are all sent to the housekeeper, with one or two lines of silver to donate, and the rhetoric is almost the same, all on the grounds of poverty, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, they smashed the pot and sold iron to come forward!
Zhao Zongwu didn't say anything about this, just smiled and accepted the donation of the above five families, and praised him in public for being the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty!
But in my heart I was very unimpressed.
For Gongshun Hou Wu Ruyin, Yangwu Hou Xue Lian, Xianning Hou Qiu Ying, Wuding Hou Guo Yingqi, and Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, Zhao Zongwu knows better than anyone else that he doesn't have much ability, but this means of accumulating wealth is definitely a master-level existence, but in the process of rectifying the guard, he just missed the five of them, which also made the five of them, in the process of recovering the guard, did not suffer any losses.
And because of this.
As a result, the Jingcheng Xungui Group also has an internal opposite.
"Grandpa Guo, Cheng Guogong also made a silver donation scene in Wenyuan Pavilion, saying that the treasury of the imperial court has been empty, in order to ensure the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Cheng Guogong, British Gong, and Pingguo Gong jointly donated 100,000 taels, and also called on the officials of the court to donate silver, and the donation has reached 130,000 taels in this half a day...... Ye Chao rushed over, his expression did not see any joy or sorrow, and he preached in a calm tone.
As the chief officer of intelligence gathering, the first thing to do is to control your emotions and ensure that the information will not be spoiled by your own joys and sorrows.
After hearing Ye Chao's report, Zhao Zongwu said with a little contempt on the corner of his mouth: "It's getting more and more interesting, I didn't expect Zhang Weixian and them to actually start a ring match with Bengong, and before the fundraising ends, Bengong wants to see the corresponding list." At the same time, Zhao Zongnan was ordered to order the Gyeonggi Jinyi Guard to be on standby at any time and wait for the next move! ”
"Yes!" After hearing this, Ye Chao immediately bowed and saluted.
Since you want to play with fire, Ben will definitely accompany you to the end.
In the following time, the number of ministers who came to donate silver and salary increased, but most of them ranged from 1 to 100 taels, and the most donated silver were the nine cabinet scholars, all of whom donated 100 taels of silver, and more donated 1 tael, 2 taels, 3 taels, and 5 taels.
After three days, after removing the 100,000 taels of silver donated by Zhao Zongwu himself, a total of more than 7,000 taels of silver was raised, which was also due to the fact that at the moment when the end was about to end, the housekeepers of the British Mansion, the Chengguo Mansion, and the Pingguo Mansion each brought 1,000 taels of silver to donate.
Otherwise, Zhao Zongwu could raise more than 4,000 taels of silver at most......
"It's getting more and more interesting!" Looking at the scattered silver placed in front of him, the smile on Zhao Zongwu's face became stronger and stronger, and he looked at the summary secret report placed in front of him, and the anger in his chest never stopped!
Play with Lao Tzu, right?
One by one, I ate and drank spicy food in the house, had fun and enjoyed, Lao Tzu asked you to donate silver, just fool around, really think Lao Tzu is a soft persimmon!
And what made Zhao Zongwu feel angry was another important reason, the fundraising presided over by Zhu Chunchen raised a total of more than 70,000 taels in three days, which was a big contrast with his more than 7,000 taels.
Isn't this a clear general to him?
Good!
Since you want to play with fire, then Lao Tzu will accompany you to the end!
"Ye Chao! Leading the secret flag, he united with Gyeonggi Jinyiwei and Beizhen Fusi to arrest those corrupt officials who were corrupt and bent the law for his father! Zhao Zongwu couldn't see anger on his face, and he spoke in a calm tone.
But those who are familiar with Zhao Zongwu know that his grandfather is really annoyed.
Ye Chao, who had been waiting for a long time, received the order at the moment: "Obey the order!" Then he turned and left.
Just when everyone was secretly watching the show, and even some noble groups held a banquet, but who would have thought that the crisis was quietly coming.
Because of the fundraising, they all felt contempt in their hearts, thinking that Dingguo Gong was nothing more than that, but they obviously forgot Zhao Zongwu's ruthless methods.
For Zhao Zongwu, although it is true that he has become an auxiliary political state, he will not give up his style of acting because of this, and the means used to deal with those things that he is not used to must be thunderous!
At this point, I am afraid that many people have already guessed wrong in their hearts from the beginning......
