Chapter 20: Planning the Draft
Besides, Zhang Lingyang's side, since leaving Zhong Cui Palace, his mood has eased a lot.
But when he thought that there were only 500,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, he had a headache.
Although there were 10,000,000 taels of silver in the treasury, it could be misappropriated when the treasury was empty.
But how long can these 10 million taels of silver withstand the expenses?
Besides, Zhang Lingyang still has a series of plans in his mind, which need to be filled with a large amount of silver.
Therefore, 10 million taels really can't afford to spend much.
It's like Zhang Lingyang, based on the experience of his predecessors, plans to open a royal bank in Da Zhou, and use the silver from the treasury as a reserve.
But this 10 million taels of silver is not enough!
It's not that 10 million taels of silver is really not enough, but that if he really plans to open a bank, Zhang Lingyang can't put all the 10 million taels of silver into it.
If nothing else, now that the treasury is empty, you must have enough money in your hands to meet your needs.
What's more, the daily expenses of the harem also have to be considered.
During the New Year's holidays, the minister's family will be rewarded......
In this way, the amount of silver that can be used to open a bank is no more than six million taels.
Six million taels?
But it's a lot!
Can you just pull out a ticket number from Jinxi, it's more than just a little money?
Besides, can the emperor be as petty as those ticket numbers?
When the time comes, it's a joke for no reason.
Besides, in addition to the bank, Zhang Lingyang also has a series of business plans.
It's like the Chef Championship three months later, it all requires a lot of silver.
Therefore, how to get a quick amount of money in the shortest possible time has become Zhang Lingyang's top priority.
"Little Fuzi, is there any way you can help me raise a sum of money?" Zhang Lingyang turned his head and looked at Xiao Fuzi who was following behind him and asked.
Xiaofuzi's brain has always been very clever, and when he saw Zhang Lingyang asking, he knew that the silver Zhang Lingyang was looking for should not be a small amount, otherwise he would not have asked himself.
After all, there are 10 million taels of silver in the house.
So Xiao Fuzi had an idea and said: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the slave thinks that the fastest way to get money is to raid the house!" ”
"Raiding the house?" Hearing Xiaofuzi say this, Zhang Lingyang was a little surprised and couldn't close his mouth, he never thought that he would get such an answer from Xiaofuzi's mouth.
Xiao Fuzi continued: "Long live the lord, most of the officials in the court and the local government are from the family of the world, who doesn't have a few hundred thousand taels of silver? If you add courtyards, fields and other things, I am afraid that there is no shortage of people with millions of family assets. If the Long Live Lord really has this intention, the slave guarantees that within three or five months, he can raise no less than 10 million taels of silver for the Long Live Lord. ”
"What you say makes so much sense, I am speechless!" Secretly said in his heart, Zhang Lingyang shook his head and said: "Forget it, if I really do this, I will not be sprayed to death by the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee!" ”
After listening to Xiaofuzi's words, for a moment, Zhang Lingyang was still very moved, after all, even if Zhang Lingyang had only been in Dazhou for a few months, he also understood that the assets of those ministers' families would only be more than what Xiaofuzi said, not less than what he said.
Zhang Lingyang in his previous life knew such a sentence: Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.
The 'Qing' in this 'Qing Governor's Mansion' is not the 'Qing' of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the 'Qing' of the incorruptible Qing Dynasty, otherwise it will really become a gratuitous black.
What does the phrase 'three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver' mean?
This means that if a prefect collects 100,000 silver during his tenure, he is already a rare clean official.
This is not to say that all of this money is obtained through corruption, but through various bad customs such as fire, charcoal, and gift-giving.
A clean official can collect more than 100,000 yuan in three years, so what about corrupt officials?
And this is still at the level of the prefect, and the political envoy yamen, the governor yamen, the governor's yamen, and even the three provinces, six ministries and nine secretaries of the court and even the cabinet, these high-ranking officials are officials for one term, and how much money can they make?
Zhang Lingyang didn't dare to imagine it, and he didn't dare to think about it.
Zhang Lingyang only knew that if he really ordered the raid of his house, then nine of the ten officials would be unclean under their buttocks.
Besides, Zhang Lingyang has no one around him who knows the roots, even if those corrupt officials are imprisoned, there is a chance that the next one will be a corrupt official.
So it wasn't the people who suffered in the end?
Therefore, regarding the matter of raiding the homes of officials, it is still necessary to consider the long-term consideration, and we cannot rush it for a while.
But apart from raiding the house, what is the way to get the money quickly?
Zhang Lingyang never had a clue in his head......
In Cining Palace, since Queen Wang replied yesterday, Empress Dowager Xu has been frowning.
Sighing, Empress Dowager Xu said to Mama Zhou, who served her: "The emperor has been married for three or four years, but the harem has not been spoken, and the emperor is not in a hurry at all. originally thought that it should be that these concubines in the harem were not good to give birth to, so the mourning family made up their minds to send Wanming, a girl, to the palace, but they didn't think about it......"
"Alas!" Empress Dowager Xu sighed and said: "The mourning family can also understand it, although the queen is a middle palace, she doesn't think about the royal heirs at all, she only thinks about how she can fix her favor!" ”
Mama Zhou said: "Queen Mother, the slave maid has an idea, maybe she can send Miss Wanming to the palace!" ”
"Oh? What's the idea? Empress Dowager Xu saw that Mama Zhou had an idea, so she hurriedly asked.
Mama Zhou smiled lightly and said: "Now that the palace concubines and concubines are nowhere to go, and Your Majesty has just ascended the throne for less than a year, the Queen Mother might as well let Her Majesty choose a show girl in such a name." When the time comes, let Miss Wanming participate, with the face of the Queen Mother, Miss Wanming will definitely be able to go to the end. In this way, will you be able to get your wish soon, Queen Mother? ”
After listening to Mama Zhou's words, Empress Dowager Xu thought about it carefully, if the emperor agreed to the draft, it would really work out in the end, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.
So, Empress Dowager Xu said to Mama Zhou: "You quickly send someone to summon the emperor, and say that the mourning family has something to discuss with him." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid will order people to pass."
With that, Mama Zhou went out to order someone to summon her.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Lingyang came to Cining Palace.
"Erchen has seen the queen mother, I don't know why the queen mother called Erchen to come?" Zhang Lingyang bowed and sat down on the bed next to Empress Dowager Xu.
Empress Dowager Xu said: "The emperor has been married for four years! ”
"It's been so long!" Zhang Lingyang said quietly.
"It's been four years, but the harem has not come out, and the mourning family is anxious."
"So, the mourning family thought, should we take advantage of the emperor's recent accession to the throne to conduct a draft, so that the harem can be enriched, and the heirs can be extended as soon as possible, I don't know what the emperor wants?" Empress Dowager Xu looked at Zhang Lingyang and asked.
"This ......" Zhang Lingyang wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but after thinking about it, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "What the queen mother said is very true, and when the son goes back, he will order the celebrant to draft the draft."
Seeing that Zhang Lingyang agreed, Empress Dowager Xu showed a satisfied smile on her face.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Lingyang immediately ordered someone to call Feng Xi, the governor of Dongchang.
After a while, Feng Xi hurriedly came to the Qianqing Palace.
Seeing Feng Xi, Zhang Lingyang said, "Xiao Xizi, there is something I need you to do." ”
"The emperor commands."
Zhang Lingyang said: "I want to make an order to choose a show girl, what about you, just ...... like this"
Feng Xi's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this, and he praised: "The emperor is smart! ”
