Chapter 158: How to Make Money
Seeing that the expenses of the internal carrier warehouse are getting bigger and bigger, and there is not much left, and he can't find a reasonable excuse to let the household department allocate funds, in order to continue to support Zhu Houzhao's great cause of the game world, Liu Jin had no choice but to contribute the tens of thousands of taels of silver he had saved privately, but it was only enough for Zhu Houzhao to toss for a few days.

It's really not a way to go on like this, Zhu Houzhao only cares about playing, and he doesn't have the concept of money at all, and the household department does not allocate funds for the internal transportation warehouse, and the internal government has no money to spend at all, and there is no way to make Zhu Houzhao happy without money.
This seems to be a dead end, not only Liu Jin is worried, but the entire Eight Tiger Eunuchs are the same.
When he was really forced to open the pot, Liu Jin had no choice but to be cheeky and went to the Hubu Yamen, which was not far from Chengtianmen.
But before he went in, he ate the closed door, and when the head of the household heard that Liu Jin was coming, the open door was closed tightly, and no matter how Liu Jin knocked on the door outside, there was no movement in the yamen.
But Liu Jin is also a very persevering person, if you don't open the door, Lao Tzu will keep knocking, and finally be moved by Liu Jin's sincerity, the door of the household yamen was actually opened, Liu Jin was just ready to Lixian corporal, but before he could speak, the door was closed again, and a notice was posted on it.
Liu Jin saw the above content, his face turned blue with anger, and he saw the book, "Where the household yamen is located, it is not a confidential and other important matter, and it is not a courtier and other capable officials, please do not enter." Finally, he wrote: "How can a woman enter the yamen?" ”
When Liu Jin saw the last sentence, her lungs were about to explode, who was the woman talking about? Isn't this a round of talk about how you lack a handle? Okay, you're Korean, Lao Tzu remembers you!
With the shortage of silver, coupled with Zhu Houzhao's uncontrolled play, Liu Jin felt more and more the importance of this silver, on the first day of March, the money in the inner treasury had been completely empty, and Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin on this day: "There are more and more elephants, tigers, goshawks, etc. in my inner palace. But these are not my favorites, you can get me a leopard! ”
Liu Jin is very distressed, do you know how much these elephants, tigers, etc. cost? And leopards? Where is the money? However, Liu Jin did not complain to Zhu Houzhao, but just nodded, promising that Zhu Houzhao would be sent as soon as possible!
The eight eunuchs were all the same, they had little money left, and they all had sad faces.
Gao Feng is a lively person, and he has been in the master of ceremonies for a long time, so there are many opportunities to see the set of unspoken rules in the officialdom that do not become, and he suggested to the other seven friends: "There are so many Ming officials. If one person sends one or two thousand taels, wouldn't all the problems be solved? Why do we need household funding? ”
After saying this, the other seven eunuchs suddenly brightened, especially Liu Jin, who only felt that a big stone in his chest had fallen to the ground. But after thinking about it, it's still wrong, even if it's a bribe, it will take time, but Zhu Houzhao wants money now, what can I do?
To say that Liu Jin still has a certain economic acumen. After a while, he came up with a brilliant idea, and he believed that according to this method, he would not be able to allocate funds to the inner treasury!
So Liu Jin happily went to the inner palace to find Zhu Houzhao. At this time, Zhu Houzhao was really watching the fight between the tiger and the elephant, clapping his hands from time to time.
Seeing Liu Jin coming, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Where is my leopard?" Did you get it? ”
"Your Majesty, there is no money in the inner treasury. Leopard...... No money to buy! Liu Jin cried.
"There's no money in the inner treasury, do you want it from the household department?" Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly: "I still want to remind you about this?" ”
"I found it, but the household department didn't give it ......" Liu Jin said aggrievedly: "They said that if the allocation was given to you." It's just a waste of money, and he says that this money can only be used for state affairs, so ......"
"My business is not a state business? This household is too unreasonable! Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Bring people to continue to ask, I still don't believe it!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't dare, it's just that Lord Han is a member of the Sixth Ministry, and if he comes hard, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the cabinet!" Liu Jin replied.
Thinking of the Sixth Department of the Cabinet, Zhu Houzhao immediately wilted, "Also, those old horsemen really don't want to have anything to do with them, I don't care, you must get this money!" ”
"Your Majesty, the old slave has already thought of a way." Liu Jin said, "According to the past practice, when the emperor gets married, the household department will allocate 30 to 400,000 taels of silver. ”
"But it's this gift, but the money has to be used for the wedding, and basically there is not much left." Zhu Houzhao said sadly.
"The emperor can get the silver first by getting married, and then spend it, and then ask the household department if you want it?" Liu Jin said.
"Oops?" Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, "Or will you think about me, okay, just do it, immediately inform the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, and discuss the wedding ceremony!" As soon as possible, let the household department allocate funds to the inner treasury. ”
So a ridiculous wedding ceremony was really discussed by the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites in full swing, and finally after the finalization of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the daughter of Qingyang Boxia Ru, Xia was fortunate to be elected as the empress of the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After everything had been discussed, the Ministry of Rites finally allocated 400,000 taels of silver to the inner transportation warehouse.
The silver is in hand, Zhu Houzhao doesn't care much about the rest of the things, sure enough, there is no money and no sense of security, 400,000 taels just arrived in the inner library, Liu Jin allocated 200,000 out, of course, a leopard does not need 200,000, or even 100,000, but Liu Jin feels that it is better to keep some silver around him!
Not only Liu Jin thought so, but the rest of the eunuchs also thought the same way, so the 400,000 taels were quickly swept away.
Not to mention the leopard, even the eight tiger eunuchs of Confucius can get Zhu Houzhao over, so two cheetahs, three eagles, four pigeons, and a different number of deer were sent into the inner palace one after another, which made Zhu Houzhao very happy.
The cheetah started, Zhu Houzhao kept it in a cage with the tiger, and fought all day long, the scene was very bloody, and finally the cheetah lived up to expectations and actually bit the tiger alive!
Just when Zhu Houzhao was playing happily, the Ministry of Rites found Empress Dowager Zhang, and only through Empress Dowager Zhang did he find Emperor Zhengde, but this guy actually forgot that there was such a thing as a big wedding, and almost vomited blood from Empress Dowager Zhang.
Simply Zhu Houzhao still knows the importance of marriage, and it is not a big deal to get married, but there is just one more woman in the harem, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.
But when the inner government officials wanted to go to the inner carrier treasury to allocate silver, they were told that the inner treasury had no money!
After Empress Zhang heard this, she immediately found the household department angrily, but the household department was even more aggrieved, 400,000 taels of silver, a lot of money was allocated to the inner treasury, how could it not be?
In the end, they finally found out the reason, and when they learned that the 400,000 taels were all withdrawn by the Eight Tigers and were instructed by Zhu Houzhao, the blood of Hubu Qi almost vomited out.
400,000 taels of silver for your marriage, and you fucking use it to buy some lewd things? What is this wedding? Trifling?!
It's so unbelievable!
So, the various departments in the matter, the cabinet, and the six ministries have gone to the sparse crusade against Zhu Houzhao, but the matter has happened, Zhu Houzhao's attitude of admitting his mistake is very serious, there is really no way, the household department has to allocate another 400,000 yuan, and let the departments of the inner government strictly supervise, if this silver is received again, then you go and get the silver yourself, don't look for my household department!
After this matter was resolved, the cusp began again, this time targeting Liu Jin, saying that this guy was corrupt and bribery, harming Daming and so on.
Anyway, it's so ugly how to scold, I can't wait to eat Liu Jin's appearance raw.
Liu Jin is also a flesh and blood, with a father and a mother, you old horsemen, are you the only ones in the world who have clean sleeves, except that you are all corrupt and bribery mongrels?
Okay, since you say I'm corrupt, you say I'm taking bribes, right? Then Lao Tzu can't live up to your expectations, right? You have already scolded the eighteen generations of Lao Tzu's ancestors, if you are not satisfied, wouldn't it be a loss?
As a result, there are endless streams of "congratulatory money", "greeting gifts", "thank you gifts", etc., and in a month, Liu Jin actually accepted bribes of more than 100,000 taels, which really fulfilled the "expectations" given to Liu Jin by the ministers!
Chen Yu wanted to persuade Liu Jin, but it didn't work, this time Liu Jin was iron-hearted, no matter who said it, it didn't work, and it could be seen that the ministers hurt Liu Jin a lot!
In the first year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao got married, and Li Dongyang served as the deputy envoy to Najib, Nazheng, and the farewell ceremony, and after a very beautiful post-strategy ceremony.
Zhu Houzhao didn't have the joy of the newlywed Yan'er, and he didn't even glance at Queen Xia at all, to be precise, Zhu Houzhao didn't know Queen Xia at all, even if he met in the inner palace, he might not be able to recognize him.
Marriage is just a pretense, and after the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao began to go with his cheetah again, I don't know if it was because he liked his cheetah too much, Zhu Houzhao suddenly said that he wanted to build a leopard house for his leopard.
And told Liu Jin his thoughts, and asked Liu Jin to discuss with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household as soon as possible, and the location was set in the West Garden outside the Donghua Gate.
This is a very huge project, which cannot be completed overnight, Liu Jin only told Zhu Houzhao that he would complete it as soon as possible.
But with his eyes closed, he could think about how much resistance there was, so this matter was put on hold by Liu Jin for the time being.
Because Zhu Houzhao did not go to the early court, and did not start to talk about the feast, the Hanlin Academy has now completely degenerated into the Qingshui Yamen, and the voice of the court's crusade against Liu Jin is getting louder and louder, and the Hanlin Academy is even more happy to scold Liu Jin, there is no way, not to scold the traitorous minister, how can he reflect that he is a good minister like Wen Tianxiang through the ages? Of course, while they scolded Liu Jin, they would also bring Chen Yu by the way from time to time.
Because Chen Yu and Liu Jin are very close, they have naturally been classified as Liu Dang, of course, Chen Yu is not ashamed of this, and he will not be proud of it, but Gu Dingchen is different, he feels that his opportunity has come! (To be continued.) )
