Similar scenes not only happened in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, but also in various places in the capital, but all the eunuch families who had donated silver to the imperial court at the beginning would have a few colleagues inadvertently mention this matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then those officials will hurriedly go home and advise their relatives who are doing business, if the emperor comes to reward silver, it is absolutely unacceptable, otherwise, the future of these officials may be worried!

I have to say that although this trick is yin, it is very effective.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it is obviously the official position of the family that is more important, of course, there are also painful people who are unwilling to refuse the reward, in the face of the advice of their own nephews, Zhen Zhen has a word to say, this is just speculation, it should not be true! The emperor did not personally decree that whoever received the reward would be removed from the official position, right?

However, such self-deception can only be said by those businessmen who are blinded by money.

The targets that Zhu Changluo was looking for at the beginning were all officials from the fifth to the third rank in Beijing, these people were the backbone of the imperial court, and they had the possibility of taking a step forward, but they also had the possibility of wasting their lives.

And these people have been in officialdom for many years, and they are not comparable to these stunned young people outside the officialdom.

Just kidding, the emperor wants to put small shoes on a person, and he still has to give an order himself?

Yes, the emperor may not personally issue an order to remove a person from office, which is not in accordance with the procedure, but do not forget that every step of the promotion of officials, especially the transfer of officials above the third rank, in addition to going through the strict selection procedures of the officials, and finally going through the emperor's imperial pen and Zhu approval before it can take effect.

If you really anger the emperor, I'm afraid that even if these people are not deposed, the road to official career will end here!

What's more, there are many villains in this world who step on other people's positions, you don't want to please the emperor, some people want holy favors, the emperor only needs to show a little meaning, and some are people who wear small shoes for him.

There are not too many ways to rectify a person in the officialdom!

Just for these silver taels, it is not cost-effective to cut off the road to the official career!

These truths, those merchants actually don't understand, but they can't give up the silver taels in their hands, but fortunately, the businessmen also have an advantage, that is, they know the current affairs, and they know in their hearts that their own families can do business safely and steadily in the capital, all because of people in the court.

Once these officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee stop their careers, they will lose the most money, and I am afraid that it will not be these mere silver taels at that time.

So in the end, most of the merchants reluctantly parted their love and gave up the court's silver reward......

"Your Highness, this is the case, when our family took people to deliver the decree again, several families tried their best to refuse, and they refused to accept a tael of silver!"

In Ciqing Palace, Chen Ju shook his head, and was really impressed by Zhu Changluo's methods.

I really didn't expect such a difficult thing to solve to be in the hands of this person, but it was done by simply releasing a few messages.

"Hehe, it's a bunch of smart people! So how did Grandpa Chen do it? ”

Zhu Changluo smiled and asked.

In fact, he had already thought of this method, but it was really too bad.

First borrowed money from others, and then used them to force the court officials to pass the Japanese treaty, which can be regarded as squeezing out all the surplus value, and in the end, he used the official position of the court and the central government to force others to give up the profits.

The capitalists didn't do that either......

But since the emperor has a life, no matter how bad the method is, Zhu Changluo has to use it!

Speaking of which, when it comes to the changes in their court, these officials are really sensitive, and they know very well in their hearts that if they give up this large sum of silver, then rumors will only be rumors.

But if you don't give up, what will happen is unknown......

"Your Highness, rest assured, according to His Highness's orders, our family has exchanged all their bounty silver for the jewels treasured in the palace, but the estimated value has doubled!"

Hearing this, Zhu Changluo was relieved.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but slander himself, a face-loving father, who wanted both silver and fame, and dared to love this good thing in the world, let him take it all alone!

It is one thing for these people to accept or not to accept it, but the court must give it.

Otherwise, maybe the courtiers didn't dare to say anything, but when the news spread, the people below wanted to poke the emperor's backbone......

Whoever called Da Ming can't help but say the way, he is just an ordinary person, and he dares to talk about state affairs and praise and belittle the emperor!

Nowadays, the silver taels of those merchants are exchanged for the treasures of the emperor, although they are not worth so much silver, but they are the treasures rewarded by the emperor after all, and the treasures rewarded by the emperor can be measured by silver taels?

There is a saying that it is not true!

This matter is considered to be the end of it, Zhu Changluo shook his head and asked about another matter.

"Gonggong Chen, two days ago, I went to the Japanese mission to return to Beijing, and my father ordered my father-in-law to receive it!"

It stands to reason that when the mission returns to Beijing, it should be received by the Ministry of Rites, but this time the mission is obviously different, with 20 million taels of silver, the emperor naturally does not worry about handing them over to the courtiers to receive them.

Otherwise, all the money would have gone into the treasury, and he would have no place to cry!

It's better to send someone to deduct the silver taels first!

"Back to Your Highness, it was our family who went, and now all the artifacts and silver taels brought back by the mission are temporarily sealed in the Honglu Temple! Speaking of which, Zhao Shangshu of the household department, as well as the gentlemen of the cabinet, have entered the palace several times for this matter......"

Speaking of this, Chen Ju's face couldn't help but have a smile.

Don't look at the courtiers' usual appearance, but when the silver arrived in Beijing, they were more anxious than anyone else, and they all wanted to pull the silver into the treasury.

As for how to divide the two pieces of silver, the emperor and the courtiers did not give in to each other, and they had been in a stalemate for several days.

"Oh? The result? ”

Zhu Changluo did not get involved in this matter, this kind of thing with the courtiers, his father was the most willing to do it, especially when the initiative was in his own hands.

Chen Ju arched his hand and said.

"Originally, the result of the discussion between several adults was that the treasury and the inner treasury were divided in half, each with 10 million taels! But His Majesty disagreed, saying that the silver spent by the treasury at the beginning was no more than one million, and the imperial treasury spent seven or eight million taels for this matter, and of the two million taels, at least 17 million should be included in the inner treasury! ”

"What...... What the? Seven or eight million taels? ”

Zhu Changluo almost got angry, how much money was spent on the war of Pingwei, he knew best in his heart, the emperor's inner treasury allocated more than two million taels at most, how did it become seven or eight million taels.

Speaking of this section, Chen Ju's face was also slightly red, and he said.

"Your Majesty said that the treasures he gave to those merchants and relatives should also be counted in the expenses of the inner treasury......"

Zhu Changluo grinned, his father, he was really ruthless!

He can be sure that when the emperor calculates the value, he must calculate it according to the value of the reward, not according to the actual value, I am afraid that those courtiers also wanted to cry without tears at that time.

"However, this time the adults also insisted very much, and the final result was that six million of the silver were put into the treasury, and the remaining fourteen million went to the inner treasury!"

Zhu Changluo shook his head, knowing that as long as he talked about silver, these ministers would definitely not be able to fight his father, but these had nothing to do with him, he cared about something else!

"That silver tael is still in Honglu Temple, right?"

"Back to Your Highness, the part that should have been put into the inner treasury has already been taken away! As for the rest, the household department will send someone to count ...... tomorrow."

Chen Ju didn't know what Zhu Changluo meant, and said honestly.

"Okay, deduct one million taels and send it to the East Palace!"

Zhu Changluo waved his hand and said.
