Chapter Errors/Click here to report

The orthodox emperor summoned Chen Xu, and he talked about three things in total: first, the imperial court needed silver, a lot of silver, at least 1.8 million taels; second, the imperial court has no money, and it is simply unable to make ends meet; Third, the household department was helpless, and if Chen Xu had no perfect plan, he could only order the Jinyi guards to ride out in all directions, and he would not hesitate to scrape together enough silver taels at a price.

The emperor did not mention a word from beginning to end that Chen Xu "stole" a million silver from the Marquis of Jianning. With such a huge amount of money, how could the emperor not know? He didn't say anything about it, either he wanted Chen Xu to contribute it himself, or he had already put the silver into the treasury - the emperor was rich in the world, and this batch of silver was no longer private, it was the state, it was his, and the gap in silver was only 800,000 taels.

Jin Lian, the head of the household department, lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Xu, the head of the household department is in charge of the world's money and food, but the work within the division has to be entrusted to the young secretary of the military department, how can he be embarrassed? Lord Kim's face was hot, and he even had the intention of resigning. Of course, Lord Jin will not do this, the national crisis is at the head, just when he is serving the country and being loyal to His Majesty, if Lord Xiao Chen really has a way, he will definitely do his best to eliminate criticism and help each other. As for whether Chen Xu has a way, Jin Lian is very unoptimistic, does he really want to extort tyranny from the people?

Chen Xu looked up at the orthodox emperor and then at the father-in-law next to Emperor Gongli, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has raised one million, and the remaining eight hundred thousand taels, Rong Chen will think of a way." ”

Since his previous life, Chen Xu has understood a truth, money is earned rather than saved, even if he saves money and uses squatting to use fingers, how much money can he save? There is no limit to making money, there is no amount to spend money, this is the realm of men.

Now that he is in power, with the whole country as the backing, he has to pick and pull at only 1.8 million taels of silver, and Chen Xu himself looks down on himself. Moreover, the border town is the gateway to Dayan, but if there is any delay, the enemy will be given an opportunity. Once the border town is lost. The Warat Iron Cavalry will reach the capital. The border towns are not strong enough to resist Yexian, although this day will come sooner or later, but at least not now. Win at least one month of preparation time with 1,800,000 taels of silver. This business is not a sure deal.

"Chen Shangshu has raised a million silver?" Jin Lian didn't know about Chen Xu and Jianning Hou yet, he was pleasantly surprised, one million silver had already arrived, and the remaining 800,000 was still far away? "Lord Chen. Where did this money come from? ”

The orthodox emperor smiled and said nothing, Chen Xu scratched his head, and said: "The means of roosters and dogs are not worth mentioning."

Jin Lian: "......"

The orthodox emperor was amused by Chen Xu's expression, and he was worried about internal and external troubles. He believed that Chen Xu's pressure was definitely above him, but this kid could make fun of suffering, which was definitely a kind of ability. The orthodox emperor remembered the teachings of the previous emperor: those who have thunder in their hearts and face like a peaceful lake can worship the general, thinking that when they were surrounded and intercepted by the iron cavalry, Chen Xu was as usual, talking and laughing, isn't he such a person? Thinking of this, the orthodox emperor was even more glad of his original decision. Dayan has this son. It is not only the blessing of the people but also the blessing of Sirou, if there is no royal sister, he really doesn't know what to reward him in the future.

"Lord Jin, the most important thing at the moment is to raise the remaining 800,000 taels. Of course, we will raise more than 800,000 taels of silver, or 5 million. ”

Jin Lian couldn't help but gasp. Five million silver, at least?

"Lord Chen. The imperial court's income in Taicang this year is only 3.3 million taels, plus 5 million. Jin was afraid that the people would not be able to afford it and provoked a popular uprising. ”

Three and three hundred thousand? Chen Xu didn't expect that the Marquis of Jianning could take out a million taels of silver casually, whether this is a penny in the middle, Chen Xu didn't know, but one thing was certain, the silver in his family was definitely several million taels, and a mere Hou Ye was so rich that he couldn't match the country, how did he get this silver?

Imperial relatives, princes and ministers, of course there will not be only one Marquis of Jianning in the imperial court, if this is their legitimate income, the key is that their silver will never be clean, with so many moths, how can the imperial court not be poor and weak? Chen Xu looked up at the orthodox emperor, even if he was a financial idiot, he probably knew what was wrong with this. The only possibility that the emperor turned a blind eye was that he couldn't move those people, the emperor couldn't do anything, what could he do as a hairy boy?

How could Chen Xu not understand the sonorous and powerful and deafening speech of the respectable old man in later generations when he was angry: Anti-corruption is to fight the tiger first and then the wolf, and the tiger must not be tolerated and nurtured......

Chen Xu can't be so fearless, he just wants to live, and he wants his mother and wife to live a good life to solve the financial crisis of the imperial court, which is tantamount to a big social change. Throughout the ages, the reformists did not end well, Shang Ying changed the law, and was tragically divided by five horses; Wang Anshi resigned twice, changed the law, and the six gentlemen died as they deserved, quickly......

The bloody lessons of the sages, how could Chen Xu make such a "mistake". Taking a step back and thinking about it, this is enough to break the bones of others, but it is a mountain of gold, at least it can prove that there are many powerful people that the imperial court can loot.

Boiling frogs in warm water and letting them be willing to generously relieve naan is the real skill. After dealing with the current crisis, his task will be completed, and as for the return of principal and interest on the national debt, let others have a headache.

"Lord Jin, what about the more than three million silver?"

"Spent."

Jin Lian glanced at the emperor, more than 200,000 soldiers, military horses, equipment and huge pensions, only 3 million taels, and he couldn't hear a sound when he was in the water? Of course, you can't say this in front of the orthodox emperor, and the royal driver is in person, and he almost takes off his underwear when he loses, and saying it is a slap in the face of the emperor.

Chen Xu: "......"

"Master Chen, what is your good plan?"

"Issuing treasury bonds...... is the only way for Chen Xu to think that it is not disturbing the people. Chen Xu gave a general account of the ins and outs of the national debt. Jin Lian was shocked when he heard this, and he kowtowed to the orthodox emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the dignified court borrows debts from its subjects, how can the court save face?" No dynasty has ever done such a ridiculous thing since ancient times......"

Chen Xu looked at Jin Lian with some dissatisfaction and said, "Lord Jin, how can this be ridiculous? Do you have a better way? In addition, you can only increase heavy taxes, and the people are already miserable, and you can bear to force them to be displaced and sell their children and daughters? ”

Jin Lian was silent for a while, "Lord Chen, don't you need the people to contribute money and silver for your so-called national debt?" ”

"If the people have money to spare, of course they can contribute to the court, and I think most of it should come from those rich people."

Isn't it even more unrealistic to want the rich to pay for the treasury bonds that they have never heard of? Jin Lian looked at Chen Xu, and he broke through the crux of the problem.

Chen Xu smiled slightly, "I haven't tried it, how do you know it can't work?" ”

Jin Lian was speechless, he really didn't know if the young man in front of him had a perfect plan, or if he was blindly arrogant.

"Chen Xu, let it go according to your ideas." As soon as the orthodox emperor made the final decision, he looked at Jin Lian again, hoping that he could provide Chen Xu with help within his ability.

The emperor is a superior, although the leader speaks tactfully, Lord Jin can't listen tactfully, he knows that the emperor wants him to be Chen Xu's deputy. Lord Jin is so old that he has to be crushed by a hairy boy, and in his heart, he is quite unconvinced. If he is not convinced, Jin Lian has the style of a gentleman, but with Chen Xu's sentence that he does not want to increase the burden of the people, he will not secretly make a stumbling block, as for whether Chen Xu can raise money, he will wait and see.

Chen Xu retreated, just took two steps, and only heard the orthodox emperor say, "You take the time to see Sirou, I heard that she is not in a good mood." ”

“…… Obey the order. ”

Walking out of the imperial study, Chen Xu went straight to Princess Sirou's residence.

Sirou wears a sky blue cross-collared vest embroidered with a plum blossom pattern on the neckline, which complements the moon-white round-necked mid-shirt; Wearing a white long skirt and a sky blue belt, the whole person looks elegant and chic. When Chen Xu entered, she was sitting in front of the bookcase writing something.

Chen Xu stopped the palace maid from informing, and he quietly walked to Sirou's side and covered her eyes.

"Little princess, guess who I am."

How could Sirou not know Chen Xu's breath, she broke Chen Xu's hands covering her eyes, turned her face and stared at him with her dark eyes. Grievances, resentments, guilt, and self-blame, Chen Xu felt that his heartstrings were touched, and he could hardly believe that a girl under the age of fifteen could have such heartbreaking eyes.

"Sirou, let me see what you're writing?"

Chen Xu tried to dilute the sentimentality in his heart, but the more he watched, the more sad he became: Sirou was copying "Baolian Lantern", and the Seven Fairies were secretly paired with excerpts from Dong Yong. This novel was dictated by Chen Xu and recorded by Princess Sirou, who retouched, revised, and transcribed over and over again, which is quite the strength of Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" for ten years, adding and deleting five times. In the past, Princess Sirou loved the part of "Ten Days of Yao Ji", and she cried every time she watched it; Now I prefer the Seven Fairies and the Eight Fairies to Sifan in the Nether Realm, and I will cry every time I see it.

Chen Xu stared at the tear-stained paper in front of him, he was a little embarrassed, why did he tell her such sensational things in the first place? How good would it be to tell her about "Man and Nature"?

"Xianggong, I'm sorry."

Sirou said suddenly, Chen Xu forced out a smiling face, he picked up Sirou and sat on his lap, and tapped her red lips with his fingers, "What nonsense?" I should say I'm sorry, it's not like I don't want to marry you. ”

Sirou's eyes gradually filled with tears, but she desperately tried not to let the tears roll down.

"No, Xianggong would rather disobey the will of the imperial brother for the sake of Sister Mengyao, Sirou can only be happy, if Xianggong doesn't miss the old love, Sirou will be sad."

Chen Xu couldn't laugh or cry, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and said, "Girl, cry if you want to." ”

Sirou stared at Chen Xu in a daze, and her tears seemed to be pouring out of her eyes uncontrollably.

"Xianggong, Sirou wants to marry you, but I don't want to be sorry for Sister Mengyao......" Princess Sirou said while crying, Chen Xu just hugged her, grinding his ears and temples, he gradually reacted, which made him very embarrassed. How could Sirou not know sitting on Chen Xu's lap? Suddenly, she snorted and lowered her voice, "Xianggong, Sirou wants to rest, you can take Sirou to the couch." After a pause, she added, "Xianggong, don't worry, no one will come in." ”

"Goo-dong!"

Chen Xu swallowed and spit, cheating in the palace is certainly exciting, in case someone breaks it and can't get it to dip in the pig cage, he feels Alexander...... (To be continued......)
