Chapter 419: The Emperor doesn't know that he is poor
Our country is vast, and there are many people, but the regions are different, and disasters of all sizes will always befall every year. The drought of the year before last, the insect plague of last year, and the flood of this year, the imperial court will allocate silver for disaster relief every year.
Moreover, the imperial court was sympathetic to the people and reduced taxes, so that the treasury would become increasingly empty. Fu Yuanling said that as the people of the great cadres, they are duty-bound to face the national crisis. Therefore, many merchants got together and spontaneously raised money to donate money to the disaster area, which can be regarded as serving the imperial court. ”
The emperor was still a little shocked when he heard this, but he didn't like his son's triumphant face.
Don't listen to what he said, Fu Yuanling is downplayed here, and the emperor is not stupid, and he will understand if you think about it carefully.
He was in a hurry for the silver in the palace, and Xiao Jiu must be in a hurry for him.
Xiao Jiu was in a hurry, and it was estimated that the girl from the Fu family would not be able to stand it.
In the past, there were many times for the imperial court to provide disaster relief, so why didn't I see the merchants so knowledgeable and shared the worries of the imperial court.
The emperor looked at his son again with a complicated expression, is this a fool with a fool's luck?
Such a muddy boy can actually see pearls.
"More than 800,000 taels of silver raised, what happened to the remaining one million taels?" Although the emperor asked his son, he already knew it in his heart.
"Oh, Fu Yuanling said that she was deeply blessed by the emperor and gave her the name of a righteous businessman, so that she entered the Bofu alone without being scorned. Since he is deeply favored by the emperor, he should be a picture newspaper. Xiao Jiuqi was righteous and stern.
Emperor:......
Seeing that his son's expression didn't look like a fake, he really didn't expect that the little girl of the Fu family would have such loyalty and courage, and no seven-foot man could reach it.
Xiao Jiuqi secretly observed his father's expression, but he didn't expect it to be as the fourth brother said, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that the fourth brother's words can still be listened to selectively.
"Go down." The emperor waved his hand to pick up his son.
Xiao Jiuqi refused to leave, took two steps forward like a scoundrel, and lay on the bookcase, "After talking to the emperor, I have to say a few words to my father, how can you let me go." ”
Emperor:......
I know that this little rabbit cub is not well-intentioned.
"What else do you want to say?"
"Short of hands, you know?"
"Get out of here!"
"Father, look at how good the daughter-in-law I found for you is, she can make money and be generous, especially to our own family. First of all, I will dedicate you an iron mine, which is a whole iron mine, and how many weapons can be used to defend the country by smelting iron. Now she's sent you so much silver, and she's saved it up with every penny. ”
"!"
"The son is gone, and I will go to the queen mother and sit down."
Seeing Xiao Jiuqi leave, the emperor was angry and smiling, and his expression was extremely complicated.
My son has a saying that is really right, take people short!
One or two million silver, he is an emperor rich all over the world, how can he put it in his eyes.
But that's not just a coincidence.
In the past few years, there have been various natural disasters one after another, and the imperial court really has no money.
Moreover, the army raised by the imperial court every year is a huge expense, and the emperor himself has a small private treasury, but it is the emperor's own private silver.
I have been accumulating since I was a prince, and now I have something to look forward to.
Before the mountains and rivers are exhausted, how can he move out the small private treasury left for his children.
Especially Xiao Jiu can't save his money, and most of the things in his small private treasury have to be left to him.
If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, if you don't know that the emperor doesn't know that you're poor.
Here, Xiao Jiuqi wandered all the way into Fengyi Palace, but he didn't expect Tan Guifei to be there, and his face immediately pulled down.
