57 The Reward Controversy
ps: Thank you for the tip of the beauty lifecat, thank you!!
After listening to Liu Hong's words, the minister collapsed directly. It's no wonder that few leaders in later generations can stand up to investigation, let alone the ministers of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Hong's proposal can be regarded as directly asking for this guy's life.
This guy regrets dying now, he thought that this time he was transferred to the center, he should be able to be promoted and make a fortune. Unexpectedly, entering the center can be regarded as entering the ghost gate. Just because he wanted to fight for fame, he had a little more mouth, and before the first meeting was over, he was raided.
What kind of person is Liu Hong, he is so stingy, how can he let that guy go because he collapsed. Liu Hong directly asked the guards on both sides to take this guy down in the prison and strictly ordered the Tingwei Mansion to conduct a strict investigation.
The ending of this unlucky egg, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one will care. But with the example of this guy, if someone wants to hit the bank's attention, they have to think about it in advance.
And with this guy, when it comes to the mortgage, no one wants to touch Liu Hong's moldy head, and it was negotiated smoothly. The imperial court used the salt tax as collateral and borrowed 1,000,000 silver coins to cover the levy costs.
One million silver coins, converted into five baht coins, is one billion dollars, such a large amount, Liu Hong has been busy for several days.
Originally, there was no need for Liu Hong to come forward in person for the loan. But this is dealing with the imperial court, not to mention that the amount of money involved is so large, even if there is not much money, Liu Hong has to make it personally. He wants to make this first time an example, so that future dealings between banks and the imperial court will be based on this example. The managers of the provincial banks, because they did not have official positions, made the banks suffer because they were afraid when facing the officials.
After several days of busy work, it was finally over. Liu Hong was about to go to see the Famous Records Contest, but the envoy of the Fu Yu Kingdom suddenly came to offer it.
Huaxia has always considered itself to be the kingdom of the Celestial Empire and the state of etiquette, and attaches great importance to foreign offerings. felt that it was a matter of raising face, although Liu Hong was very unimpressed, but he had to endure the surname to meet him.
Liu Hong is very unkind to these foreigners. Because Liu Hong knows, don't look at this husband's rest of the country, he is acting quite honestly now. But in less than two years, they will rebel.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
This is summed up by the ancestors. People say: If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. Liu Hong felt that these words were very reasonable.
And looking at the history, almost all of these foreign races around China are some white-eyed wolves that are not well raised. If he's not paying attention, he'll pounce on him and take a bite. But the ministers had obviously forgotten these words, and took pleasure in raising "wolves". The repeated behavior of those "wolves" has all been forgotten by those who choose their surnames, and as long as those "wolves" come to make offerings from time to time, they will feel that they have lost face. Even if they were all busy for this, they didn't care.
"In total, it's just a matter of delaying some time, it's not a big deal, I can't be angry with them, just endure it for two days."
Liu Hong endured the surname for a few days, and finally completed all the rituals. It is time for the envoy of the rest of the country to return home. Just when Liu Hong thought that it was completely over, those ministers came to him again, because of the reciprocal thing, they were stumped again.
According to the rules of the past, the reward of the Han Dynasty was to show the might of the Han Dynasty. Items should not only be numerous, but also good, but also rare. Anyway, at the very least, it is worth several times more than what the rest of the country has to offer.
In the past, this would not have been a problem. But now, it is disaster relief and war, and the imperial court can't get the money back at all.
The ministers had no money, so they came to Liu Hong again. Although Liu Hong opened a bank, Liu Hong can't let these ministers lose so indiscriminately.
"Nima, it's okay to mess around, just send them away. Didn't you delay me from going to the game by tossing so much? β
Although Liu Hong has no good impression of the large reward, he can't talk about any disgust. Although this thing looks very stupid and naΓ―ve, in fact, in Liu Hong's opinion, it can be regarded as a disguised way of spending money to buy peace.
When others come to make offerings, they must think that the Han is strong. And if there are more things in return, it will definitely be shocking and make people feel that their previous perception is right. Casual rewards are worth so much money, how powerful and expensive the big man is. The country that has made a contribution will definitely be much more honest as soon as it feels dirty.
Speaking of which, although the imperial court spent a lot of money. But this money is much less than fighting a war, so it is also a good deal.
If he had money, Liu Hong didn't care about promoting the prestige of the country, letting the family see and see, the Han was powerful and wealthy, so that they could be honest and not make trouble for the Han. But what's the situation now, you can't even support yourself anymore, you're doing this thing, and there's a fart.
And if it's useless, let's put it aside, if others don't know the situation of the big man, it's understandable. But the situation of the big man is already familiar to others, and he can't bluff people, and if he does it again, it is obviously stupid. Moreover, this husband's surplus country will rebel in less than two years, and if he is given a large reward at this time, isn't it just to raise the enemy. Don't say that the court has no money, even if the court has money, Liu Hong will not let those ministers do such stupid things.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's do things, do we have to do what we can? Since the court has no money, don't give people such a heavy reward, just a little meaningful. β
"Your Majesty, this is about the face of the imperial court."
"Do you have a long face if you give more in return? I don't think I'm stupid. And when he came to offer something, he brought something and went back, but I had to give him several times as many gifts in return, and if he had come a few more times, he would not have to move all the treasury to their country. If there are a few more countries that come to the contribution, our court will not be able to go bankrupt directly! Even if it's a business, there's no such thing! β
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of greatly increasing the prestige of the country, how can you use the analogy of doing business."
"Don't talk this nonsense, the court has no money, and everything you say is in vain. Anyway, I would never agree to a loan for such a thing. β
"Your Majesty, this is a state affair, not the time for you to take your surname."
"Damn it, if you don't let you be stupid, it'll be my surname." Liu Hong is in a hurry.
"I'm so surprised, I've made it clear to you about such a stupid thing, but why do you have to do it." Speaking of this, Liu Hong said to the ministers: "Since you are so willing to do this kind of thing, I will fulfill you, and I will send someone to your house to give gifts, and you will give me several times the gift in return." I'd like to see if you still think you're showing your majesty. β
There have been several examples, Liu Hong, the wonderful emperor, can say it and do it, and he doesn't care about the emperor's face at all. Therefore, when the ministers saw that they were burned, they all relented.
What are you kidding, the emperor sent people to their house to give gifts, but their gifts in return were several times more. With such a return, their family has mountains of gold and silver, and it is not enough to toss like this. Thinking about it, they finally realized what a stupid thing it was.
All the ministers have reached a consensus. Therefore, Liu Hong simply sent away all the envoys of the rest of the country.
Liu Hong can't hold back now, and now the selection of the name has come to an end, and tomorrow is the finals. is going to select the first place in the world, this excitement, Liu Hong will not let go of it no matter what.
