Chapter 204: 'Debt Collection' Succeeds

Xiaofuzi, the commander of Dongchang, had something to look for Zhang Lingyang, and just came to the front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he saw Sun Sheng like this, he stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Sun, what's wrong?" ”

Sun Sheng sighed, told Xiaofuzi about the matter one by one, and finally said: "The things that the nobles took away last night were not even one-tenth, how can we say this?" ”

Xiao Fuzi rolled his eyes and said: "This is not simple, after a while Sun Gonggong took the list, read the 'piece' as 'box', isn't it?" ”

Sun Shengden understood, patted his head and said, "It's still your kid who is smart, why didn't our family think of it?" ”

With that, Sun Sheng hurriedly went to get the order.

Sun Sheng came back and secretly looked at the faces of Zhang Lingyang, Zheng Yongji and others.

After Zhang Lingyang spoke, Sun Sheng opened the list and read: "1,112 boxes of Cining Palace, 937 boxes of Changchun Palace, 232 boxes of Gao Guifei, 254 boxes of Zheng Guifei, 238 boxes of Zhu Jieyu, 296 boxes of Concubine Wu Xian......"

When Zheng Yongji heard this, his daughter Zheng Guifei actually took so many boxes.

Zhu Kaishan was also stunned, he didn't expect his daughter Zhu Jieyu to be so 'insatiable'.

Glancing at Zheng Yongji, Zhu Kaishan saw Zheng Yongji's eyes wandering around, obviously he didn't expect that Zheng Guifei would also receive benefits.

"Okay, don't read it!" Before the list was finished, Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and motioned for Sun Sheng to retreat.

Sun Sheng dared to hesitate and hurriedly withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

If a minister offers to see the list himself, it will be a bad thing.

"Fortunately, Long Live Lord is extremely smart!" Sun Sheng said with emotion in his heart.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Lingyang glanced at everyone and said, "A few Aiqing, you must have heard it.

There's no reason to take back what I gave away, right?

Otherwise, how do the concubines view Yu Zhen? ”

"But Your Majesty, have you rewarded too much?" Li Guangtai questioned, and judging from his face, he obviously did not believe it.

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang suddenly 'stretched his face' and said: "If a few Aiqing don't believe it, you can go and inquire."

It just so happens that Zheng Aiqing and Zhu Aiqing are here, so they can ask Zheng Guifei and Zhu Jieyu. ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Zheng Yongji hurriedly confessed.

Come to think of it, a father actually inquired about his daughter's private room, which is obviously not good.

What's more, Zheng Yongji is also the first assistant of the cabinet, so if this matter spreads, Zheng Yongji's reputation will be rotten.

The same is true for Zhu Kaishan.

However, in his heart, Zhu Kaishan has already made up his mind that when he returns home, he must let his wife enter the palace and warn his daughter well, don't be so 'insatiable'.

Thinking about the numbers that Sun Sheng said, Zhu Kaishan felt a little blushing.

Her daughter is just a Jieyu, and she takes more things than her high-ranking concubines, concubines and even concubines.

If Zhu Jieyu heard what her father was thinking, she would definitely complain: "What are other people's takes, and what are daughters taking?"

Everyone else takes the best things, but the daughter takes the inferior things, so can it be the same?

If my daughter doesn't take a few more pieces, won't she suffer a loss?

Besides, the daughter only took 293 pieces, not 293 boxes. ”

"What, the emperor said that his daughter took two hundred and ninety-three boxes? My daughter's dormitory is so big, can she fit so many boxes? ”

Zheng Yongji and the others were all stunned by Zhang Lingyang, and they didn't think that except for Cining Palace and Changchun Palace, which were slightly larger, the bedrooms of other concubines would not be able to fit so many boxes at all.

However, all the people present were old foxes, and although they didn't think of the size of the concubine's bedroom, they still thought of some other things.

When he came back to his senses, Zheng Yongji said: "Your Majesty, I won't talk about the objects obtained by the house, but the silver obtained from the speculation must be returned to the treasury!" ”

"Look, how did you forget about this?" Zhang Lingyang slapped his head and hurriedly shouted outside the hall: "Sun Sheng, get me in." ”

When Sun Sheng entered the palace, Zhang Lingyang instructed: "You immediately go to the head office of the Royal Bank and go and withdraw 10 million taels of silver to the treasury." ”

"Ten million taels?" Hearing this, Li Guangtai and Zhu Kaishan immediately smiled, they didn't expect His Majesty to be so happy this time.

But Zheng Yongji and Chen Yiming have served as important ministers in the court for many years, how can they not know that with the wealth of Jiangnan, how can they only copy 10 million taels of silver?

Besides, Your Majesty is so generous, and the silver he has received must be far more than that.

"Grandpa Sun, take a step slowly!" Zheng Yongji shouted to Sun Sheng, who wanted to go down to deliver the decree, and then looked back at Zhang Lingyang and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the number is wrong!" ”

Hearing this, not only Zhang Lingyang, but even Li Guangtai and Zhu Kaishan were stunned for a moment.

I saw Zheng Yongji say: "Your Majesty, with the wealth of Jiangnan, let alone copying out 10 million taels of silver, even if you copy out 10,000 taels of silver, it is possible."

With the means of Jinyiwei, he will not return to Beijing in a hurry without digging up the silver.

Therefore, Weichen suspected that it must be the commander of Jinyiwei who made Han Xiao greedy for ink, and there were quite a few of them.

That's why Your Majesty saw only such a small amount of silver. ”

Zheng Yongji's cleverness lies in the fact that he did not point the finger directly at Zhang Lingyang, but at Jinyiwei.

That is to say, if Your Majesty only transfers 10 million taels of silver to the treasury, then your Majesty will deal with it severely.

And if Your Majesty wants to keep the brocade guard, then 'obediently' give the treasury some more silver.

Jinyi Wei is Zhang Lingyang's eyes and ears, and the command makes Han Xiao always powerful, how can Zhang Lingyang be willing to deal with him?

Therefore, in the face of Zheng Yongji's 'truth', Zhang Lingyang had to compromise.

"Sun Sheng, go and transfer 20 million taels of silver to the treasury!" Zhang Lingyang's dough had been torn open by Li Guangtai before, and at this time, Zhang Lingyang simply didn't want the dough and said directly.

"Your Majesty......" Zheng Yongji spoke again, but was stopped by Zhang Lingyang: "Thirty million taels, no more!" ”

Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Zheng Yongji understood in his heart that this was already the bottom line in Zhang Lingyang's heart.

Zheng Yongji obediently kept silent.

Otherwise, Zhang Lingyang was really cornered, let alone 30 million taels, I am afraid that even 10 million taels, they will not come back.

After all, if the emperor plays hooligan with you, who will you reason with?

Not only Zheng Yongji understands this truth, but Chen Yiming, Zhu Kaishan, and Li Guangtai also understand this truth.

Besides, 30 million taels of silver is already a lot.

After the salt business was rectified last year, the tax revenue of the first year of the year was only about 10 million taels of silver.

No matter how you look at it, these 30 million taels of silver are a huge fortune......
