Chapter 128: Fundraising
Xu Wen felt that Chen Guo was a serious threat to the Jin State, and his current power should not be underestimated, and if he really wanted to fight, the Jin State might not win.
Zhao Chengqian saw that Xu Wen wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "What do you have to say?" ”
Xu Wen can't just report the good news, not the worries, and tell the truth what he sees, so that the emperor can know how to deal with it, Shi Li said: "In the opinion of the emperor and his ministers, it is not easy for us to send troops to fight, the other party occupies a favorable terrain, the castle is strong, our sailors are not strong, we are all northerners, if we fight on the water for a long time, we will not be adaptable." ”
Zhao Chengqian listened to the reason.
Xu Wen said again: "I suggest training the sailor first, with a strong team, it will be twice the result with half the effort in attacking the Chen army." ”
Zhao Chengqian nodded and said: "This matter will be handed over to Aiqing, and I will see a strong sailor in half a year." ”
Xu Wen Shili said: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Zhao Chengqian said: "I promoted you to the general of the water division, with 100,000 people." ”
Xu Wen kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Emperor." ”
Zhao Chengqian said: "Stand down." ”
Ye Long'er brought the tea.
Zhao Chengqian looked at her and asked, "Did you hear what you said just now?" ”
Ye Long'er served tea and said: "The slave and maid obey the arrangement. ”
Zhao Chengqian smiled and said, "You really plan to go to Yingzhou and be Chen Chengqian's daughter-in-law." ”
Ye Long'er bowed his head and was silent.
Zhao Chengqian's eyes showed a fierce light, and said: "Chen Chengqian is doing death, and he dares to worry about my woman." ”
Ye Long'er's face was flushed with shame, and she thought, "Who is your woman?" He asked, "How does the emperor plan to deal with it?" ”
Zhao Chengqian said confidently: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”
Ye Long'er said: "The slave is willing to be a pioneer officer." ”
Zhao Chengqian smiled and said: "Take out your momentum to deal with the people who bully you, whoever beats you will return it, I am not angry for leaving you in the palace." "Repeatedly.
Ye Long'er was somewhat worried, and said, "Those are the emperor's flowers." ”
Zhao Chengqian smiled: "Some dog tail flowers." ”
Ye Long'er also smiled.
Zhao Chengqian looked at the ice release and said, "This tea is so fragrant." ”
Ye Long'er pursed her lips and smiled, thinking, "It's really unpredictable. ”
Zhao Chengqian was sure, this time Xu Wen had made a great contribution, it seemed that he was a talent that could be created, and he was relieved in his heart, stood up and said, "Go out for a walk with me." ”
Li De'an, Ye Long'er accompanied him, and more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs behind him.
Zhao Chengqian admired the scenery along the road, towering buildings, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, rockeries towering, flowers and trees.
The goldfish in the pond swim around in schools.
Li De'an handed over the fish food.
Ye Long'er grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the water, the fish grabbed the fish food with a splash, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, and said, "Your Majesty, that one is so beautiful." ”
Zhao Chengqian flew up, picked the lotus flowers, flew back in the blink of an eye, offered the flowers, and said, "Give it to you." ”
Ye Long'er was stunned for a moment and said, "The slave just said it was beautiful, and she didn't want to get it." ”
Zhao Chengqian said: "If you like it, you have to get it." ”
Ye Long'er took it and said, "Thank you." He said, "Such a good flower will soon wither away when it leaves the water." He said to a palace maid behind him: "Go and insert it in the vase of Zhenghua Palace." ”
The palace maid took it and stepped back.
Zhao Chengqian felt tired after playing for a while, and walked to the pavilion to rest.
The palace maid put down snacks and tea.
Zhao Chengqian said to Ye Long'er: "Sit." ”
"Slaves don't dare." can't be rude, and his identity must not be equal to the emperor.
Today's weather is exceptionally good, the sun is shining, the breeze is not dry, and he said, "Play a song for me, I haven't heard you play the pipa for a long time." ”
Ye Long'er said: "Obey." ”
The palace maid hurriedly went down to get the pipa, and there was not much time to get the pipa.
Ye Long'er hugged the pipa, plucked the strings, and tried the rhythm.
Someone moved the stool, Ye Long'er sat down and asked, "Which song does the emperor want to hear?" ”
Zhao Chengqian said: "I don't admire wealth and nobody." ”
Ye Long'er plucked the strings of the pipa, and the sound sounded, and the nearby birds rushed to land on the book to listen.
Zhao Chengqian smiled when he saw such a peaceful scene, and Ye Long'er was fascinated by his pipa.
Ye Long'er remembered the happy scene with the whole family during the Dragon Boat Festival in Jinju, and tears couldn't help but fall.
Zhao Chengqian originally wanted to make her happy, but she didn't expect it to cause her sadness again, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Ye Long'er became more and more excited the more she played, and with a "jump", a pipa string was broken, and then she came back to her senses, quickly stood up, knelt down and said, "The slave deserves death." ”
Zhao Chengqian said: "My hand didn't hurt." ”
Ye Long'er shook his head.
Zhao Chengqian said: "That's good, I don't want to hear it." ”
The maid took the lute.
Ye Long'er secretly wiped away her tears and stood up.
Zhao Chengqian didn't have anything to say, and said, "Look at how beautiful it is here." ”
Ye Long'er smiled, knowing that he had the heart to comfort himself, every time he went to Zhenghua Palace, he had to pass through here, nothing special, and then said, "Yes." ”
"Your Majesty, you are here." Hong Mei appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared.
Zhao Chengqian didn't want to see her the most, it was really a bad scenery, and his face turned from sunny to cloudy.
Hong Mei saluted the emperor, walked up to the emperor, and asked, "It's noon time for the emperor, it's time for the emperor to eat." ”
Zhao Chengqian said coldly: "You know how to eat." ”
Hong Mei was stunned for a moment, she gave herself such a big ugliness in front of so many people, she couldn't help hating Ye Long'er, and glanced at Ye Long'er, her eyes were sharp.
Ye Long'er lowered his head.
Zhao Chengqian happened to see this scene, he was furious, and slammed his hand on the stone table.
The frightened people present trembled and all knelt on the ground.
Zhao Chengqian was about to reprimand.
Xiao Changzi ran up and said, "The emperor Honghua asks to see you." ”
Zhao Chengqian said coldly: "Xuan." ”
When Hong Mei heard that her father was coming, she felt that she had a battle, and stared at Ye Long'er fiercely.
Ye Long'er was indifferent, obviously not taking her seriously.
Hong Hua came to Zhao Chengqian's approach, saw this formation, his heart was stunned, and he kowtowed: "The minister knocks to see the emperor." ”
Zhao Chengqian asked, "Aiqing is flat." ”
Hong Hua looked at his daughter and felt that this matter must be related to his daughter, and beat the drum in his heart.
Zhao Chengqian asked, "What is Aiqing looking for?" ”
Hong Hua said: "The emperor is training the water master, and now the treasury is empty, and he can't take out so much silver at once." ”
Zhao Chengqian was already angry, but when he heard these words, his face was gloomy as ice, and he said, "What about the money of the household?" ”
Hong Hua was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, bent down and bowed down and said: "Today, there is a famine in various places, and the taxes have not been paid for a long time. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Chengqian was also silent, and said: "The matter of training the sailors will not be delayed, squeeze them to use it first, and wait for the tax to come up, and distribute it everywhere." ”
Hong Hua was stunned for a moment and said, "In this way, there will be complaints from all over the country." ”
Zhao Chengqian was also at a loss, and said: "Do what I want first, and I will find a way to deal with the silver." ”
Hong Hua Shili said: "Yes." ”
Zhao Chengqian said: "Stand down." ”
Hong Hua looked at her daughter, glared at her angrily, and told her not to mess with the emperor at this time, it was you who suffered the loss on the top cigarette, and you didn't dare to talk to your daughter without an order, so you retreated.
Zhao Chengqian once again felt that a stone had been pressed, money is blood, and if the blood is not circulating, he will die soon, and the country will soon die if he has no money, and he said: "From today on, the palace will start to be frugal and reduce the expenses of each palace." ”
"Yes." Li De'an responded.
Zhao Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Stand down." ”
Jia Dongqing helped Hong Mei up, and Shi Li retreated.
Zhao Chengqian was silent for a while, returned to Zhenghua Palace, how do you want to raise money?
Xianchuan ordered a fundraiser, and it took a few days to raise a pitiful tens of thousands of pieces of silver, and whoever was willing to pay for it was a big money.
Especially those rich people, rich businessmen are even more picky, and they also show a little.
Zhao Chengqian shouted: "These old treachers are cunning, and when it comes to a critical moment, they are slamming the door one by one, and they spend all day drinking in the brothel. ”
After hearing this, Ye Long'er was moved, handed over the tea, and said, "The slave has 20,000 taels of silver in her hand, and she can use it urgently." ”
Zhao Chengqian likes Ye Long'er's spirit, no matter what difficulties he will take, until now no one has stood up, willing to donate one or two silver, Ye Long'er is willing to donate all his property, it is really commendable, and said: "Long'er, it's not bad for you to have this money, or keep it for yourself." ”
Ye Long'er said: "The slave maid eats and drinks in the palace, and she doesn't need money. ”
Zhao Chengqian smiled happily and said, "Now it's how to raise money." ”
Ye Long'er smiled and said, "It's easy to say, leave this matter to me." ”
Zhao Chengqian was stunned for a moment, knowing that she had a lot of ideas, and said: "As long as you help me raise money, I will agree to you whatever you ask." ”
Ye Long'er hurriedly said: "Really? ”
Zhao Chengqian regretted it again after speaking, and said, "As long as I can accept it." "This is blocking her unreasonable request.
Ye Long'er understood and said: "The slave maid has no requirements, the slave maid just wants to relieve the emperor's worries." ”
Zhao Chengqian asked, "What way?" ”
Ye Long'er said: "Keep it secret for the time being, the emperor lent Wang Hu and Zhou Xiaohu to the slave maid, and the slave maid wants to leave the palace." The reason why Lin Zhi was not mentioned was that even if he proposed it, Zhao Chengqian would not agree.
Zhao Chengqian was curious and said, "They were originally your guards, but it was too dangerous to leave the palace." ”
Ye Long'er said: "The slave will protect herself. ”
Zhao Chengqian thought about it and said, "Two people are too dangerous, bring more people." ”
Ye Long'er refused: "Two people are enough, but too many people will get in the way." ”
"Okay." Zhao Chengqian has his own arrangements.
Ye Long'er acted vigorously and said, "The slave will go down and prepare." "Exit Zhenghua Palace.
Zhao Chengqian waved his hand to replace Li De'an, and said in a low voice: "Secretly send someone to protect Ye Long'er, as long as she is safe, don't make any moves, let alone let her find out." ”
"Yes." Li De'an responded.
Ye Long'er changed into a man's outfit and went to Zhongyi Prison to find Wang Hu and Zhou Xiaohu.
Lin Zhi saw her outfit and asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”
Ye Long'er smiled and said, "Raise money for the emperor." ”
Lin Zhidao: "Your Majesty, there is no way for ministers from all over the world, what can you do?" ”
Ye Long'er smiled and said: "Shanren has their own clever plan, you just look at it, Wang Hu, Zhao Xiaohu, you come with me." ”
