Chapter 159

"Third brother, do you want to shake your old bottom out in front of your father?" Tang Yu smiled evilly.

"Old Nine, Old Nine!"

Tang Shuheng was really about to be angry with Tang Yu, and he was forced to be helpless, so he had to look at Tang Huang and said: "Father, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, the sons are willing to sell all their family funds to collect 100,000 taels of silver and donate it to the imperial court!" ”

"Only 100,000 taels?" Tang Yu's face turned dark.

At the beginning, Tang Shuheng did not hesitate to take out one million taels of silver in order to win over Xu Shize, but now that Datang is in trouble, Tang Shuheng actually took out 100,000 taels, compared to it, it is simply a drizzle, not worth mentioning.

Xu Shize smiled on the side: "Your Highness, there are already a lot!" ”

"That'll do!"

Seeing that Xu Shize said this, Tang Yu naturally didn't say much, he could vaguely feel that Xu Shize, the old fox, was planning again.

Seeing that Tang Shuheng contributed 100,000 taels of silver, Tang Long, who was the eldest prince, was naturally not far behind: "Father, although the sons are not as rich as the third brother, and the army usually spends a lot of money, but the sons are also willing to sell all their family property and donate 100,000 taels of silver to the court!" ”

"Well, that's good!" Tang Huang nodded.

Remember the URL

"Father, the child is not as rich as the eldest brother and the third brother, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, the child is also willing to donate 80,000 taels of silver!"

"Father, there are only 50,000 taels left of all the belongings of the sons, and all the sons and daughters will donate them to the court!"

"Father's ......"

Suddenly, several other princes stepped forward to donate silver.

What is surprising is that the silver donated by the nine princes adds up to a full 900,000 taels, plus the existing treasury, which is exactly 8 million taels of silver.

Emperor Tang frowned and said: "There are still two million taels of silver left behind, I don't know who will contribute?" ”

"This..."

At this moment, the faces of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces all stiffened, and they naturally understood that the Tang Emperor still planned to let them pay.

Now the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Emperor outside the Qi occupation is a small number of people after all, more officials from the family, since ancient times, the family is the richest.

Especially in the families in the capital, all of them are fat and oily, and although two million taels of silver is not a small amount for them, it is not impossible to get it.

It's just that any family taking out two million silver at a time is enough to break the bones, so no one plans to sell two million silver alone.

"What? Can't I get two million taels of silver? Emperor Tang looked angry.

Xu Shize stood up in time, and he said: "Your Majesty, two million taels is an astronomical amount, and no one can bear it if you put it on anyone!" ”

"Yes, yes, what the prime minister said is very true!"

Seeing Xu Shize standing up and speaking, a group of ministers nodded hurriedly, none of them wanted to become a big wrongdoer who contributed two million.

"What does the prime minister mean?" Tang Huang asked in a deep voice.

Xu Shize arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, it's a big deal, our court can borrow these two million silver!" ”

"Borrow?" A group of courtiers were stunned.

They know very well that there is a huge disparity in the strength of Datang and Dachu, and if they lend money to the imperial court and Datang is defeated, the money will be wasted.

Many people looked at each other, and they shook their heads secretly, obviously they didn't intend to lend a tael of silver to the imperial court.
