Chapter 570: Catch the ducks on the shelves

Yes, nominally, those honorable relatives and businessmen did voluntarily donate silver to fund military spending, but that was just a disguise, and everyone knew what the real situation was. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The imperial court needed silver to fight a war, but the treasury had no silver, and the inner treasury could not support it, so the idea was put on the head of private capital.

The so-called businessmen in business, who want to rely on the national righteousness to inspire these mercenary businessmen, obviously have no door.

The only way to make them willingly take out the money is to let them get a greater profit.

This is the reason why they are willing to take out the silver, and now, the merchants have kept their promises and paid enough capital, but who would have expected that their father, the emperor, would actually have the idea of repenting.

To tell the truth, after all, he is the emperor, he really wants to regret not handing over this silver, and it will be useless to let these merchants have any power behind them!

After so many years of mining taxes, the impeachment recital can be piled up in the entire Qianqing Palace, but his father still goes his own way, and in terms of silver, the emperor is simply stubborn and terrible.

But the problem is that this promise was made by Zhu Changluo at that time!

The emperor can withstand the criticism of the Manchu dynasty, but Zhu Changluo, the prince, may not be able to withstand it!

At the beginning, considering the possibility of the passage of the treaty between the Japanese countries, Zhu Changluo selected the families of the merchants, all of whom were wealthy and powerful, and the most important thing was that they had deep connections in the court, and he specially selected most of these officials in the court were the younger generations of those merchants.

Facts have proved that his trick is very effective, and as soon as these people come out, the most powerful ministers in the court immediately settle down.

In this year, people in the officialdom, especially those with higher official positions, cannot offend the villagers and elders.

After all, the Ming Dynasty advocates filial piety, and scholars pay more attention to virtue, but if there is a dispute between officials and family elders, public opinion must be one-sided in favor of the clan elders.

But there are pros and cons, and these businessmen don't care about the government and the country for the sake of silver.

They can force the courtiers to pass that treaty for the sake of silver, but now that they can't get the money, they will naturally feed their grievances back to Zhu Changluo, the person who made the promise at the beginning!

In this way, the emperor has benefited, but the pressure is all on Zhu Changluo, isn't it a pit son?

However, if the emperor's words are not listened to the last sentence, it is not a pure miser attribute outburst.

Zhu Changluo also knew the state of the treasury in recent years, and if this silver fell into the treasury, even if it went to the inner treasury, it would be much better than flowing into the hands of these unscrupulous merchants.

It's just that how to do this is something to think about......

"Father, if you want to keep this silver tael, it's not impossible!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Changluo spoke, which immediately made the emperor smile.

In fact, Zhu Yijun didn't plan to directly rely on this account from the beginning, and if Zhu Changluo could see it, he would naturally be able to see it.

It was not easy for him to help Zhu Changluo establish these prestiges in the court, how could he make enemies on all sides because of trivial matters?

It's just that his own son, he knows it very well, and if he doesn't put some pressure on him, how can he take out the real thing!

"Let's talk about it!"

Putting away the smile on his face, the emperor regained his usual majesty.

It's just that Zhu Changluo can't see that he has been tricked again!

However, it was the emperor's father who personally set the set, and he could only suffer this dumb loss, so he arched his hand at the moment, and said in a positive way.

"Father Mingjian, this silver two want to stay is not without a way, but there are two conditions, the first is not to leave all the money, at least to return the capital to those merchants, as for the noble family, it can be slow, anyway, they offered silver at the beginning, most of them were to please their father, not like businessmen, they value silver taels, the father only needs to give an edict to encourage it, if it goes well, this ten million taels of silver, should be able to leave five or six million taels!"

This is easy to understand, after all, these businessmen invested in silver at the beginning, and three or four million taels is not a small amount, if they can't even recover the capital, it will be really excessive.

Zhu Yijun bowed slightly, signaling Zhu Changluo to continue, two conditions, this is the first.

"Second, the silver is left behind, and all it belongs to the treasury, and it cannot be included in the inner treasury of the father!"

Zhu Changluo paused and said.

Suddenly made Zhu Yijun's face red again, a little annoyed.

What does this kid think of his father?

"Father, this silver is left, one is difficult for the merchants, and the other is difficult for the courtiers! Outside, because of the mining tax, there are many criticisms of the father, if the silver is really left in the father's treasury, it will inevitably attract rumors, so it is more appropriate to stay in the treasury! What's more, in this way, at least the household department can be appeased, so that the household department will not also oppose the father's motion! ”

If the money is kept in the treasury, it is not an explanation to the courtiers?

Otherwise, if you really stay in the inner treasury, wouldn't it be clear to everyone that the emperor covets money?

What's more, the silver is left in the household department, and it is also used in the court in the end, to make it clear, it is used on the Yulu of these courtiers, if they oppose it again, then they deserve to be unable to receive it, who told them that they can't get along with the silver!

"Okay, I'm done! This matter will also be handed over to you, if it can't be done, you will pay for the money yourself! ”

The emperor's face ached, but he hadn't forgotten the severity, and gritted his teeth and spoke.

This time Zhu Changluo frowned, you must know that these two are just prerequisites, if you really want to leave this large sum of silver, it is far from being enough for these two conditions.

Some of the courtiers are hard stubble, not to mention that the ones who really want this money are the businessmen who rely on the ministers of the court, on the other hand, with these businessmen, those ministers who can really get ahead, I am afraid that few of them rely on money to eat.

Zhu Changluo's two methods can only appease the public opinion of the court a little, and the real difficulty is still behind!

"The son received the order, but the son was brave, asked his father to cooperate with the son and the minister, and lent the son another person!"

In desperation, Zhu Changluo had no choice but to take two steps forward again and said.

"Borrowing? Who do you want to borrow? ”

Zhu Yijun frowned and asked.

"Erchen wants to ask his father to lend Gonggong Chen to Erchen for a few days!"

Zhu Changluo turned around, looked at Chen Ju, who didn't know what was going on, and said.

"Chen Ju? What do you want him to do? ”

The emperor was also a little confused, turned around and looked at Chen Ju, and asked a little strangely.

"Please don't ask more questions for the time being, as long as the father lends Gonggong Chen to his son, the son promises to put the silver into the treasury smoothly!"

This time, Zhu Changluo sold off.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't bother to ask, waved his hand, and said.

"In that case, I'm ready!"
