Chapter XXIII Auction Quotas
After listening to what Zhuge Wuming said, the ministers all showed a malicious smile.
"Well, Prime Minister, I think I can ask for a place."
Han Yu was the first to come out and grinned.
The ministers' eyes all fell on Han Yu at once.
Official to the second grade.
General Zhengdong.
The leader of this crusade......
I can afford this place.
The ministers all nodded secretly.
Zhuge Wuming looked at Han Yu with a strange face and asked, "You...... Have a daughter or a relative or something? ”
Han Yu snorted and said, "I'll build it when I go back tonight, and it'll probably be available next year, and the quota can be occupied first." ”
The ministers' faces turned black instantly, is this criticism teasing them?
Zhuge Wuming was also speechless enough, waved his sleeves, waved his hand and said: "General Han, sit down honestly, don't speak!" ”
Immediately, he faced the ministers and said: "This fifty places can't all fall into our hands, the prime minister thinks so, twenty places belong to the people and wealthy merchants of Chao'an City, and the remaining twenty-nine places are allocated by you." ”
Twenty places will go to the people and wealthy merchants of Chaoancheng.
Twenty-nine to the ministers.
That's a good distribution......
Hit the spot.
It should not be a taboo for His Majesty.
Wait a minute...... Twenty-nine?
And what about the remaining one?
The ministers looked at Zhuge Wuming with a gloomy gaze.
Zhuge Wuming coughed twice, and said slowly: "Benxiang has a daughter, who is twenty-eight years old, and the country is overwhelmed, so the prime minister wants that place." ”
Once again, the ministers' heads were covered with black lines.
But they also have nothing to say, and with the qualifications of the prime minister, what can they say.
"Dare to ask the prime minister, how should the remaining twenty-nine places be distributed?"
A minister asked softly.
Zhuge Wuming's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said: "Of course it's a bid, the one with the highest price wins!" The rest of the world, too. ”
Anyway, he has already got a spot, and he doesn't mind pit this group of goods.
The silver obtained may be sent to the treasury to supplement the economy of the Tang Dynasty.
It's a win-win-win-win-win-
Your Majesty will know about it, and you will definitely praise your true appearance.
The courtiers' eyes flickered, and they looked at each other, as if they saw each other as enemies.
"Prime Minister, you say, how should I bid?"
One of the ministers took a deep breath and asked.
Zhuge Wuming's eyes flashed, and he said, "The price is one thousand taels, do you have any opinions?" ”
One thousand taels!
The ministers were taken aback, one thousand taels, this is not a small amount, and ordinary officials only earn a few dozen taels a month.
This year, there are not a thousand taels.
The low price of this auction quota is actually 1,000 taels?
Zhuge Wuming didn't mean to reduce the price, but looked like he was smiling.
Although the group of ministers in front of him are not corrupt officials, they have been in the court for so long, and they have more or less some savings.
A thousand taels is a drop in the bucket at most.
The ministers whispered.
After a while, a minister came out and said in a loud voice: "I will give 1,500 taels, the first place, colleagues, just give it to me?" ”
"You're thinking about fart!"
Another minister strode out and said, "The old man will give 1,600 taels." ”
"One thousand seven hundred taels!"
"Huh? Lao Chen, don't you say that you are a Qing official every day? Tell me, 'Where did you get so much silver?' ”
"You ...... me"
“……”
……
Far east of the Tang Empire, above the Dongyi Kingdom.
There is an empire with a land area no less than that of the Tang Dynasty.
This empire is called the Great Zhou Empire.
Its royal family, rumored to be after the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty royal family fled during the war.
After raising troops here, they occupied the empire and renamed it 'Great Zhou'.
At this moment, inside the Great Zhou Palace.
The Great Zhou Emperor 'Ji Wu' was looking at a letter made of animal skins in his hand.
His face was only in his twenties, very young, and the kind of imperial coercion on his body was much weaker than Li Cheng.
Apparently not long after the succession.
And that's exactly what happened.
He has been on the throne for less than a year, and his control over the court is extremely poor, so he is desperate to prove himself so that he can control the court.
Now that he heard that the land was connected to the legendary Tang Dynasty, of course he felt very interested, and even wanted to raise troops to crusade against the Tang Dynasty.
But after receiving the news from the secret agent who infiltrated Datang, his face changed.
Today's Tang Emperor is eloquent......
It has a very high prestige among the people, and its control over the court is even more powerful.
"Datang...... Is it really so powerful? ”
The Great Zhou Emperor felt a deep shock.
Looking at the envelope, it said that the current Tang Emperor is also in his twenties.
He is the same age......
The most important thing is that the methods of this Tang emperor are extremely mysterious.
Regarding the information of the other party's court, there are very few secret agents.
However, the battle of the Tang Empire against the Dongyi State was recorded.
The Tang Emperor sent secret agents to virtually disintegrate the internal ...... of Dongyi
The secret agent forced Dongyi to open the country......
Later, the army conquered fifteen cities......
could have directly destroyed the Dongyi Kingdom, but the Tang Emperor stopped at the last moment, stopped the war, and gathered all the hearts of the people in the world......
"This ...... Is this the emperor's method? One ring after another, it seems that I am still too weak. ”
The Great Zhou Emperor Ji Wu felt a deep shock, and he also admired the emperor of the Tang Dynasty more and more.
This is the Emperor!
Take control!
Even if you are in the palace, you can still lay out the whole world.
This is the real emperor, look at him? What kind of thing......
Alas.
He actually wanted to invade Datang before, and it would be good if people didn't invade his Da Zhou.
In case of......
In case the Great Tang Dynasty really wanted to invade the Great Zhou, would he be able to resist the unpredictable methods of the Great Tang Emperor?
The Great Zhou Emperor shuddered inexplicably.
No way!
We must stabilize this Tang Emperor.
He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Someone!" Come! Spread my will! ”
The eunuch outside walked in, knelt down and said, "Join Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Ji Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty said in a loud voice: "Spread my will, send envoys, carry gifts, and go to the newly discovered Tang Empire to build a friendly bridge between the Great Zhou and the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Be friendly! If it caused the Tang Emperor to be angry, then ...... Then you're done! ”
Eunuch: "......"
What's the matter with me? If this thing is yellow, shouldn't the messenger be blamed? Why do you blame him?
In the confusion of the eunuch, he hurriedly took the order and left.
Anyway, what the emperor said, then what, he didn't dare to disobey.
……
Datang, Chao'an City, Imperial Palace.
Li Cheng didn't know that he had invisibly made an emperor fear him.
He was walking towards the Yongle Palace, where the Queen Mother lived.
He was fishing before, but someone said for no reason that the Queen Mother wanted to invite him to go.
Li Cheng was idle and idle, so naturally he did not refuse and went to Yongle Palace.
