Zhang Yutang said not bad at all, the entire Bianjing City did not say a day, a few hours of time fell into a panic, although there were businessmen who donated money before, but it was all taken the initiative, or occasionally, where is it like today, it is clearly a clever robbery, there is no scruple about any face-saving robbery, not only the people below have a trace of panic in their hearts, even the Qingliu civil officials below are in an uproar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Your Highness, this matter, this matter is too ridiculous." Li Gang's face showed a look of grief and indignation, when did the imperial court not even have such a little money, and actually took money from the hands of the people, how ridiculous is this, doesn't it make everyone in the world abandon the Great Song Dynasty? Will there still be popular support after the Great Song Dynasty?

"Master Li, 35 million guan, how can you get this money? The imperial court has repeatedly used troops over the years, and there are Li thieves in the northwest and northeast, as long as the soldiers are used, it means that there is a lot of money to spend, and the imperial court has no way to do it. Zhao Huan felt bitter in his heart. The imperial court has reached this point, and Zhao Huan himself is also very embarrassed.

"The minister also heard that when those officials went to the merchants' homes, they asked for different amounts of money, but most of them were far above the apportionment of the imperial court, and now the people's grievances are boiling, if this continues, I am afraid that those merchants will not do it." Wu Min shook his head, although he was not poor and white, he even had an industry in his name or that of his family, and today he had encountered some officials who were not long-sighted to ask for it, and the lion opened his mouth widely, and even he was frightened. is so clever and pretentious, even he can't stand it.

"The imperial court has supported the world for so many years, because the capital division is in Bianjing, and the people of Bianjing don't know how much benefit they get, and it is normal to return some to the imperial court at this time." There was a voice not far away, but Bai Shizhong couldn't help but say: "Although some officials rashly ask for the price, but after all, it is a minority, and the minister thinks that it is a big deal to subdue Yan Yun at the moment, and His Highness does not need to take these small things to heart." ”

"The disorder of the people's will is not a big deal, if my Great Song Dynasty loses the hearts of the people in the world, even if Li Jing does not attack, I am afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will not be able to support it for long." Li Gang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say loudly.

"Presumptuous." Bai Shizhong's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but roar loudly: "Li Gang, are there some things you can say casually?" Li Gang's words obviously meant to curse the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that it was Bai Shizhong, even Zhao Huan, who was sitting at the top, had a worse face.

"Now that things have come to this, Your Highness, it is better to solve the current matter." Zheng Juzhong sighed and said: "Actually, the old man thought that the so-called sealed pile warehouse was probably moved away by Li Jing, and the reason why he offered such a high price was probably to deplete the financial resources of the imperial court, but in the same way, if we do it to the people, the prestige of the imperial court will drop a lot." ”

"Isn't there any other way?" Zhao Huan hesitated for a while, looked at Zheng Juzhong and said: "Li Thief is ambitious, which makes people frightened, at this time, we have to deal with it, although Yang Jian and others' practices are a little inappropriate, but there is no way to do it, unless you have a way, you can get together 35 million guan and buy it back to Youzhou." Do you have what it takes? ”

Zheng Juzhong was silent when he heard this, this suggestion is nonsense, no one has so much money, 35 million guan is enough to be rich and rival the country, even if the Zheng family is a descendant of a big family, the family has a lot of money, but it is a great price to pay for 35 million guan. Li Gang and others are Qingliu, Qingliu can't get used to those evils in the world, can't get used to those chaotic ministers and thieves, but he doesn't know that sometimes, even if it is a chaotic minister and thief, there is actually no way to do it, these people in order to complete the things explained by the emperor and become a master, they must sink into the red dust, forced to form gangs, and forced to kill Zhongliang.

But in the same way, in the face of the current situation, Qingliu may make various explanations from a moral point of view, but again, there is no way to solve the matter in front of them.

When the war can't solve the problem, it needs to be solved with money, the court doesn't have so much money, whether it is Qingliu or traitors, there is no way to solve this matter, and only other methods can be used to let the court get Youzhou.

"There are so many businessmen in the world, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do it to the people." Li Gang thought about it, shook his head, and said: "Actually, the people in Beijing don't have much money in their hands, and they can't get anything from them, so it's better to collect money from these merchants, who don't produce, covet small profits, and are not righteous, so you can get more money from these people, so you can also make those people grateful to the court." ”

After Wu Min heard this, he laughed in his heart, where did the officials and servants who went to collect money have such good intentions, and besides, which official in the court and the central government did not have extra money in their hands, although the Jingshi was good, it was not easy to live in it. Without extra money, where can you live freely. Li Gang wanted to do it to those businessmen, not only to businessmen, but also to officials. Where will these officials agree? Although this Li Gang has some talents, he is not familiar with current affairs.

Sure enough, the faces of the people around him are not very good, and being able to become Zhao Huan's side is not only a reflection of talent, but also a reflection of money. Bai Shizhong suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness, although the businessman is unbearable, there are many businessmen in Bianjing City, if he just does it to the businessman and lets the people go, how can the businessman agree?" When the merchants flee Bianjing, maybe we won't even be able to buy clothes to wear? ”

"How much money can ordinary people have? After receiving the money from these people, I am afraid that there will be more Li Jing in the world. Li Gang's eyes widened.

"Alright, alright." Zhao Huan frowned, glanced at everyone, and said: "This matter was done by Yang Jian and others, and it has nothing to do with us, I believe that Your Majesty Shengming will definitely solve this matter properly." Later, the palace will personally go to see the official family, this money can not all fall on the merchants in Bianjing City, the common people, you can also pay a little, the officials also have to pay some, the court has supported you for many years, at this time you should also contribute to the court, even if it is the palace, you are willing to pay one, five hundred thousand. Zhao Huan originally came up with a million guan, but in the end, after thinking about it, he was still ready to give out 500,000 guan, thinking about it carefully, the East Palace could produce 500,000 guan because of Li Jing, if it weren't for Li Jing's dedication over the years, I'm afraid the East Palace would still be poor, where would there be money to support Zhao Huan's expenses.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Wu Min and the others suddenly looked bad, but Zheng Juzhong said: "Your Highness is like this, how dare the old minister not follow the left and right, and the old minister is also willing to pay 50,000 yuan." When everyone heard this, there was a big uproar.

"Wechen is willing to donate 10,000 yuan." Bai Shizhong also spoke.

"Wechen is willing to donate eight thousand." Wu Min arched his hand and said.

"Wechen..."

......

For a while, in the main hall, more than a dozen people promised to donate silver money to tide over the difficulties for the imperial court, which made Zhao Huan very happy in his heart, praised him again and again, and said a few words before letting everyone disperse.

In the small sedan chair, Li Gang's face was gloomy, and the East Palace was unhappy, which made him disappointed in Zhao Huan's heart, but he was helpless, three thousand five hundred guan of money was like a big mountain, pressing on the top of the imperial court, maybe there was a lot of money in His Majesty's private treasury, maybe there was a lot of money in the household department, but the huge amount of money of thirty-five million guan was not at all the money that the imperial court could afford in a short period of time, just by doing this, how would the people in Bianjing City be good.

"My lord, please, the old man is sick, this money is the last bit of money in our family, please leave us some!" An old voice came into Li Gang's ears, making Li Gang burst into tears.

"Get out, the imperial court wants to take back Youzhou, this is a big thing, what's important about you being a bad old man, let you send some money, that's the court's praise for you, ordinary people don't have such an opportunity!" A rude voice sounded, but it was Li Gang who changed color, and he wanted to rush down immediately and beat the official to death.

"Look at you as poor, it's only two dollars, which is not enough for the uncle's carriage and horse expenses. Damn bad old man, I think people like you should go to the mass grave in the south of the city and stay in the world, and you are a waste. The rude voice sounded again.

"Shut up. Give the money back to the family. Li Gang finally couldn't bear it anymore, let people get off the sedan chair, walked out, and looked at the soap-clothed servant with a cold snort, his face was gloomy as water.

"You, my lord. The villain is polite. Originally, the official wanted to reprimand the other party, but when he saw that the other party was dressed in vermilion purple and his face was majestic, he immediately knew that the other party's origin was not simple, so he quickly beckoned the two officials behind him to kneel down and said, "The villain Kangshun (Li Liu, Wang Wu) has seen adults. ”

"Old man Li Gang, didn't you hear what the old man said? Give the money back to the two old men. Li Gang looked at everything in front of him, the dilapidated hut, two white-haired old men, one lying on the shabby straw mat, the other kneeling on the ground, and a trace of compassion suddenly appeared in his heart.

"This, back to Lord Li's words, if the villain didn't dare to do this before, but today is different, the palace has a decree, everyone in Bianjing City has the same money, if the villain can't receive it, the villain will also be unlucky." Kang Shun knelt on the ground, cursing in his heart, but his tone did not have the slightest fear.

"You." Li Gang felt desolate for a while, looked at the two old men, sighed slightly, beckoned to the housekeeper behind him, asked him to take out two pieces of silver, throw them on the ground, and said to Kang Shun: "Go, return the two pieces of money to the two old men." ”

"Well, my lord, can you give me two silver coins?" Kang Shun hesitated for a while before he said, "Anyway, it's for Li Jing, and what Li Jing needs over there is silver coins." ”

Now in addition to copper coins on the market, there are silver coins and gold coins, both of which are large money transactions, after all, Jiaozi has credit problems, copper coins are too heavy, only silver coins and gold coins are used in large transactions, in order to be more convenient, however, silver coins and gold coins are pushed out by Li Jing, and the imperial court is expressly forbidden.

Unfortunately, although the official family is prohibited, it is very popular among the people, and on the black market, one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred and ten copper coins. The business atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty is very good, and the business travel transaction is now more choices of silver coins or gold coins. The reason why these officials asked for the silver coins was really just to make the difference. In the process of confiscating copper coins this time, most of those merchants gave silver coins or even gold coins, which was originally not allowed, but the officials found a business opportunity in it, and instead asked others to donate silver or gold coins, and when they changed hands, these officials and officials could also get some benefits.

Li Gang trembled after hearing this, although his official position is very high, it is easy to want gold coins and silver coins, but how can he use them for trading, and he snorted coldly at the moment: "Copper coins are the currency of the Great Song Dynasty, what gold coins and silver coins, they were minted privately by Li Thief, and the private minting of coins is to destroy the Nine Clans." ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will return the money to the old man." Kang Shun felt disdain for a while, now everyone in the market is circulating silver and gold coins, and it is very convenient to use, that is, these officials of the imperial court cover their ears and steal the bell, as if they are idiots, but these words, Kang Shun did not dare to say them, and quickly threw the two pieces of money to the two old men, collected the money himself, and found the next one to ask for the money.

Li Gang looked at the back of Kang Shun and the others leaving, sighed in his heart, his face was gloomy as water, and in the face of the gratitude of the two old men, Li Gang felt that his old face was red, and hurriedly beckoned his housekeeper to leave.

I saved one family today, but how many more can I save? Li Gang thought of silver money again, and his heart was even more bitter, Kang Shun was just a small person, he knew silver money and money, which showed that Li Jing's silver and gold coins had actually been circulated in Bianjing City for a long time, or on the black market, but the imperial court faced this situation, but there was no way, it could only watch Li Jing use this gold and silver coins to earn a lot of materials in the Great Song Dynasty, and now even the money to buy Youzhou also needs to use silver coins, back and forth, and I don't know how many resources the Great Song Dynasty consumes.

Although he was in the sedan chair, there were bursts of cries and roars in his ears, and Li Gang was even more disappointed in his heart, and he didn't know how many families would be ruined in this incident, and he didn't know how many unjust souls would be added to the mass graves in the south of the city. I don't know when this kind of day is a head. But all this, no one in the Manchu Dynasty was aware of it, or even if they did, these people would not say anything, how to live, and how to live. Li Gang felt deeply tired at this time.

He thought that just now in the East Palace, Zheng Ju and others contributed money one after another, more than 50,000 yuan, less than 100 yuan, or these money is just one of the hairs in their family, if they donate more, where is there still a city full of bitter crying.

"Is Da Song really hopeless?" A thought suddenly flashed in Li Gang's heart, but he was quickly suppressed by him, this kind of thought should not be had. But I don't know why, subconsciously, this sentence always rings in my heart.
