Chapter 911, Record
It is the 3,000 soldiers of the Eagle Legion, working four shifts a day, and everyone takes turns to defend the 50 million taels of silver, in fact, this place is just a disguise.
Xu Chu has the jade plate around his neck, and he is very easy about these silvers, so he put them inside, but because the number is too much, after all, it is not only needed by the army.
There is also some infrastructure, and the construction of schools requires silver, which is not clear to others, Ding Yuan still has an account in his heart, and Zhang Yi's instructions for a high salary and incorruptibility.
The government's expenses are also very large, and Ding Yuan has already taken precautions against this, and those who are corrupt and bribery and enrich their own pockets will all be beheaded for public display.
Of course, this crime is still a bit too merciful, and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once used it, and the executioner used a knife to cut off the flesh on the prisoner's body piece by piece.
At most, it is more than 300 knives, and it can generally reach this data, which is still creepy to think about, to say that under this kind of torture, basically no one will commit it.
However, there are no absolutes in fact, and historical records record that there were cases of corruption and bribery and favoritism in the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be the most numerous dynasties in thousands of years, which may be in line with that sentence.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and the Han court never imagined that a small northern marquis would suddenly have such a large amount of wealth in his hands.
If there is no data, everyone only knows that people have a lot of money, but once this data is made public, it may not be the only one who cares about such a large amount of money.
When they heard 50 million taels of silver, above the court, everyone heard many people swallowing saliva, which is not a small amount!
"There are so many?"
Emperor Han Ling is not a stupid person now, if it was before, maybe he would still be a little tempted, after all, 50 million taels of silver can do a lot of things, but now he is.
is not in such a leisurely mood, if it is possible, if Liu Hong does not rein in, it is very likely that his Han world will end in his hands, which he does not want to see.
After hearing His Majesty the Emperor above, they all had a tone of disbelief, but the ministers below were relieved, they were not afraid that you would have ideas, they were afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would not have ideas.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Zhenbei Hou sits on the land of three states, and the taxes of the states are such a huge amount, so there are also Liangzhou and Youzhou, aren't there more! ”
After all, it is very close to the Central Plains, and it is the only way to go to the grassland.
But Liangzhou is different from Youzhou, it was originally a bitter cold place, and it was still in full swing, engaged in infrastructure construction, and there may be taxes to be paid, but it is definitely beyond your means.
Emperor Han Ling is not a fool, although he is tempted by gold, silver and jewelry, he is not so stubborn, other people's things may be able to give orders, as for Zhang Yi's, forget it!
What's more, the current Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty lacks not any gold, silver and jewelry, but real benefits for him, such as going to that new world, only when he goes to that place, is the life he yearns for.
"I already know about this matter, I don't know all Aiqing, what else is there to do?"
Emperor Han Ling changed the topic at once, if he wanted to say that this matter was originally a big deal, or he didn't dare to provoke it, he didn't hurry up and let everyone think about it.
When will it take for Liu Hong's method to be quite good, but it is still impossible for the ministers to give up, and all everyone sees is a piece of fat.
Everyone wants to pounce on it and take a bite, if everyone is of the same level, it is likely that there is no need to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to nod, as long as everyone unites, it will soon be able to achieve the goal.
But Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Zhenbei, is different, people want an army to have an army, and their strength is invincible in the world, if everyone still has a little self-knowledge, this situation will not occur.
"Your Majesty! The matter of Zhenbei Hou 、、、"
Seeing that he was about to return to this topic again, Liu Hong could be said to be very annoyed in his heart, could it be that he was afraid of Zhang Yi's revenge, or that Zhang Yi had too many subordinates.
If you can't beat others, it's impossible to say this kind of thing, especially if he is still Emperor Han Ling, it's even more impossible to say it.
"Bold! I have already said this matter, and you are still here to bring up the old things, and there is no little bit of national affairs that is worthy of your attention! ”
As soon as Emperor Han Ling's words came out, it was a big blow to everyone standing in the court, and they didn't expect that the original invincible data would be.
Why didn't it have any effect today, 50 million taels of silver, that's still a year's tax, think about the Han Dynasty for so many years, even if it is a good era.
I have never seen so much silver, how can it not make people's hearts unbalanced.
"Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! Damn it! ”
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor was still angry, why didn't he make everyone feel empty, so everyone knelt down, and the entire court was silent in an instant, and everyone lowered their heads.
Don't dare to say another half a sentence, this is the majesty of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who made the family His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?
"Humph! Since the state has such a policy, the commercial tax is actually 50 million taels, why can't you follow suit! ”
The territory of the Han Dynasty is still very large, Zhang Yi only occupies the land of three states, and the other six states are all rich lands except for Jiaozhou, which is necessary to collect commercial taxes.
I believe that it is definitely not a small number, and the moment all the ministers heard this, their scalps were a little numb, and if this was really implemented, it would be a big blow to them.
Whoever lets these guys have nothing to do, they think about how to make money, not only do they want to make money in business, but they also want to make money when they become officials, if this kind of person can promote the development of the big man.
That can soon become a big news, Emperor Han Ling looked at a group of ministers, it can be said that these guys are the elite of the Han Dynasty, but when it comes to doing things, one by one they are procrastinating.
It's like an old lady, and it doesn't get up at all.
"Your Majesty! Never! ”
Someone finally spoke, if someone hadn't spoken against it, maybe this matter would have been decided so quickly, and everyone could only obediently receive the order.
As for what the final result will be, it is estimated that the people are still complaining, this is the shamelessness of those in power, as long as the state officials set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps.
Maybe in the eyes of these guys, only the common people are the best bullies, this is what everyone often says, dogs look down on people!
"Yes, Your Majesty, other places are disaster areas, how can you receive business taxes!"
It may be okay to deceive others with this sentence, this other person's inside does not represent Emperor Han Ling, everyone knows it in their hearts, but they just don't want to expose it in person.
"It's all disaster-stricken areas, so it's not the state?"
