Chapter 373: One Million Taels!
In the next few days, Zhu Changluo was very leisurely, but because of one of his ideas, Fei Jiajin and Zhang Tianhua broke their legs, but with their actions, the news of Zhu Changluo's silver raising also spread. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the court is now sealed, but just do not deal with official business, because everyone is visiting relatives and friends, the news spread a little faster, but in just a few days, the government and the opposition have already known that His Royal Highness King Shou in order to raise military funds, actually borrowed silver from the official eunuchs and even ordinary people, for a while, the government and the opposition are talking about it, if it is not an ordinary time at this moment, I am afraid that all kinds of music have already come to the cabinet and poured into the cabinet.
However, Rao is like this, Zhu Changluo is not under a lot of pressure, as soon as he got up this morning, he received a rumor from the palace that the emperor summoned King Shou in Yanxi Palace!
Not daring to delay, Zhu Changluo changed his clothes and went into the palace with the attendants who came to preach.
In the Yanxi Palace, Zhu Yijun frowned, snorting angrily, while Queen Wang was standing behind him, gently pinching her shoulders, and whispering to persuade something.
Seeing Zhu Changluo come in, Queen Wang's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of worry, but she was still blessed, turned around and retreated with someone.
"Erchen has seen his father!"
However, Zhu Changluo was very calm, bowed respectfully, and his face was very calm.
"Hmph, all the good things you did are now in front of me!"
Zhu Yijun picked up a copy of the note beside him, threw it in front of Zhu Changluo, and said coldly.
Zhu Changluo picked up the song and looked at it carefully, but saw that what was written on the song was exactly what he said to Zhang Tianhua and Fei Jiajin that day, but it was deleted, thinking that it was the words that they had relayed when they persuaded others.
As for the owner of this recital, although he is not named, he can send the recital to Zhu Yijun's royal front at this moment, except for Jinyiwei, he doesn't think about it!
Smiling, Zhu Changluo closed the music and said.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, what is written above is indeed true!"
"Do you dare to admit it, do you know that these two yen and a few ministers took turns to enter the palace and told me that this matter was inappropriate, and even the queen mother called me over and scolded me fiercely, saying that I connived at you to lose the royal face!"
Looking at Zhu Changluo's indifferent attitude, Zhu Yijun suddenly slapped the table and said angrily.
After talking to this son that day, he did find out that he was a talent for governing the country, and he was really happy for a long time, so he handed over the task of pacifying the ministers to him, which could be regarded as letting him try his hand.
Who knew that after Zhu Changluo left the palace, he took the opportunity to collect money under his own banner, especially Zhu Yijun looked at the clear decree on it and told the world that he was even more angry!
The dignified imperial court, fighting such a small battle, even has to raise silver taels from the people, isn't this nakedly saying that the imperial court has no silver?
At this moment, seeing that Zhu Changluo had no repentant attitude, he was even more angry.
However, Zhu Changluo was not in a hurry, took out a note from his sleeve, handed it to Zhu Yijun's desk, and said.
"Father, you might as well take a look at this first!"
Zhu Yijun glanced at him, picked up the song and looked at it, and the first thing he saw was the first few familiar names, Chongxin Bo Fei Jiajin, Zhangwu Bo Yang Bing, Gongshun Marquis Wu Jijue, Sincerity Bo Liu Shiyan, Huaiyuan Marquis Chang Yinxu, Xinjian Bo Wang Chengxun......
continued to read, but the content of it made his face strange.
“…… The ministers are subordinates, and they can't go to the battlefield to be loyal to His Majesty, so they can only offer gold and silver for military expenses, so as to strengthen my Ming momentum......"
Further down, it is the number of silver taels "offered" by each family, of which Chongxinbo, Gongshun Hou and Huaiyuan Hou have the most, each with 200,000 taels, and the three families of Sincerity Bo, Zhangwu Bo and Xinjian Bo are close behind, each with 150,000 taels, and the total amount of these six has exceeded 1 million taels, which suddenly made Zhu Yijun's heart skip a beat.
After a while, Zhu Yijun put down the music, but his face was very complicated, and he said.
"That's what you came up with?"
Thinking of the rumors in the past few days, his eyes are as vicious as Zhu Yijun, and he naturally reacted in an instant, with this recital in his hand, it is enough to block the mouths of those courtiers!
Is it a shame for the imperial army to go out on an expedition and borrow silver from the family of Xun Qi as military expenses? Lose face!
However, the Xun Qi family is loyal to the country and voluntarily donates the silver taels to the imperial court to strengthen the momentum, which is not only not ashamed, but also a great thing worthy of praise and praise!
But for another reason, the nature of the matter is completely different.
"Back to my father, exactly! The court can't give up its identity to raise money from its subordinates, but if the subordinates voluntarily give it, it is loyal to the country, blameless, for the same reason, the father is benevolent, and the dragon heart is happy to reward the subordinates with twice the amount, which is also the grace of the saint, and no one dares to say anything! ”
Zhu Changluo smiled and said.
Although this method is a bit scoundrel, but above the court, who is not a set in front of the face and behind the back? There are more things to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep! As long as you can get by on face!
Could it be that others are willing to give money to the country, can you not allow it? Or does the emperor need your consent to reward others?
After a pause, Zhu Changluo continued.
"Erchen once inquired with Fei Dudu, the bulk of the military expenditure for this expedition is the emperor's Taicang silver, and the small head is the treasury silver of the household department, and they jointly raised 2.7 million taels of silver, but Fei Dudu also told Erchen that the 2.7 million taels of silver are really very reluctant, so Erchen has this plan, to raise silver taels from the Xun Qi family, so as to enrich the military expenses and help my army to win!"
"What's more, in the budget of the sons, even if this million taels of silver is added, the military budget is still not enough, and in order to ensure the victory of this battle, it is necessary to continue to plan ......"
As soon as the words came out, Zhu Yijun blushed and was a little embarrassed.
He naturally could hear the meaning of Zhu Changluo's words, this time the military funds were raised, he fully allocated two million taels of silver from the inner treasury, and the treasury only issued 700,000 taels of silver, even with Zhu Yijun's two taels of mining tax silver accumulated in the past two years, two million also made him feel painful, and at this moment, he saw that one million taels were in vain, so he naturally moved his mind.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Changluo saw through it, but he couldn't hold his face for a while, so he had to change the topic.
"And where else are you going to raise money from?"
Zhu Yijun pressed it for so long to summon Zhu Changluo into the palace, naturally he checked everything clearly, and also understood that the six relatives on this list were already the result of Fei Jiajin running around for so many days, and he still had to raise money, where should he go to raise it?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Changluo smiled, and took out another piece of music from his sleeve like a trick......
