Chapter 17: I Earned a Million Silver

"Why, you don't want to go?"

"Do you want me to go myself?"

Qin Xuan was angry again, staring at each of them angrily, and scolded.

"On weekdays, I enjoy happiness in the court, but when I encounter things, I don't dare to face difficulties."

"When I asked you to take out 50,000 taels of silver, I still felt a little embarrassed."

"I didn't expect you to take it out easily!"

"You bastards!"

In the face of the emperor's anger, no one dared to look at the emperor.

Everyone kept their heads down.

No one wants to go to the three states for disaster relief.

Can you guarantee that you are not greedy, can you ensure that your subordinates are not greedy?

Once the subordinates move a little crooked mind, their heads will fall to the ground!

For a moment, no one spoke at the scene.

A group of court dignitaries, like wooden stakes, stood in the night, trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan was about to get angry again, but Jiang Quan stood up from the side.

After folding his hands, he knelt respectfully on the ground and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to serve Your Majesty and go to important places in Sanzhou to treat the victims."

"As long as Your Majesty allocates silver taels, the old minister will definitely be able to feed every victim!"

"The banditry in the three states must be eradicated."

The corners of everyone's mouths curled.

They looked at Jiang Quan playfully and whispered.

"Our emperor has never been too lazy to take care of him."

"I don't know what he has in his head, but he dares to come forward and invite himself."

"How can the court have any money to allocate to him now? Do you want me to wait for the money? ”

"The brain was kicked by a donkey......

Civil and military officials have looked down on Jiang Quan for many years, and in the face of Jiang Quan's sudden voice, no one took him seriously.

Everyone looked at Jiang Quan as if they were watching a joke.

A Great Wei Right Minister who has lost his power for many years is just a façade.

In the eyes of the people, he is powerful.

Actually?

Just when everyone was jokingly scolding in their hearts, Qin Xuan immediately looked at Jiang Quan with a serious look in his eyes.

"Okay, Jiang Quan listens to the order, and I will give you two million taels of silver."

"You must let the people of Qingzhou eat first!"

"If you can eradicate the plague of bandits and locusts for me, I will allocate you another four million taels of silver to help you pacify the land of the two states!"

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and everyone was in an uproar.

Their eyes widened in shock.

looked at Jiang Quan in disbelief.

What's going on?!

Where is the silver in the imperial court?

The treasury has long been empty, where did it come up with a full two million taels of silver?

Yu Wenqian was also beside him with a gloomy face, muttering to his henchmen.

"This waste emperor is speaking wildly."

"Now that Great Wei is terminally ill, Lord Ben can rebel at any time and take away his position."

"How much oil and water does he think he can squeeze out?"

"Civil and military officials can force them to pay once, but they can't force them a second time."

"When everyone is full of anger towards him, his head should also fall to the ground."

In his opinion, Qin Xuan was just bragging.

Can this waste emperor come up with two million taels of silver?

No way.

Jiang Quan's eyes also widened, and he asked a little sluggishly.

"Your Majesty, where is there still two million taels of silver in our Great Wei Treasury?"

"According to the old minister's opinion, I'm afraid I can only let you adults contribute."

"Especially that Yuwen clan, rich and rival the country!"

As he spoke, his gaze met that of Yu Wenqian.

Both sides were very angry, with murderous intent towards each other.

Yu Wenqian was just about to speak.

Qin Xuan waved his hand, and his voice was calm.

"I asked Wei Xian to deposit four million taels of silver in the treasury, and I forgot to tell you."

All of them looked at Qin Xuan in shock.

Since the emperor dares to say it, he will definitely not fake.

But where did he get the four million taels of silver?

Can he still change out of thin air?

Jiang Quan was also dumbfounded, looking at Qin Xuan suspiciously, thinking that Qin Xuan was bragging.

In the end, I am afraid that this money will still have to be paid by the officials.

Perhaps, we will have to find money and efforts from the local gentry in the rest of the states.

Jiang Lian took his father's hand and lowered his voice to his father.

"Father, don't talk too much."

"Naturally, he has a way."

Hearing this, Jiang Quan's face was unimaginable.

"Li'er, you ...... with Your Majesty"

Jiang Lian frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't like him, and I don't speak for him."

"However, what he said was the truth."

Jiang Quan's heart was shocked, thinking that there might be something he didn't know, he immediately lowered his head.

Yu Wenqian couldn't help laughing beside him.

"Your Majesty, the current treasury of the Great Wei, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that it knows better than you."

"It is impossible to come up with a full two million taels of silver."

"Moreover, you misunderstood, I am definitely not as Jiang Quan said, rich and rival the country."

"My Yuwen clan has worked hard, and the silver taels that I have accumulated for many years are only a few hundred thousand."

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better to sell iron ore resources at a low price and hand them over to the Turks."

"Let them help with the money and grain, and then send the money and grain to the important places in the three states, what do you think?"

Listening to what he meant, he didn't take what Qin Xuan said to heart at all.

You waste emperor, can you come up with a million taels of silver?

What are you kidding me!

It's ridiculous!

Qin Xuan glanced at Yu Wenqian indifferently.

"Every time the Turks attack Great Wei, they need to consume a lot of iron ore."

"The reason why the Great Wei was able to hold on without a war and gain a foothold among the great powers was precisely because of the abundant iron ore resources."

"You're going to let me sell iron ore resources? Are you kidding? ”

The sarcastic look on Yu Wenqian's face revealed a hint of it, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to sell iron ore cheaply, there is no way."

"I waited for my sleeves to be empty, and I have never shaved the people's fat and people's ointment, how can I take out any more money and food."

"It seems that it is difficult to cut off the victims of the disaster in the important places of the three states."

Qin Xuan was furious.

He stared at Yu Wenqian and asked angrily.

"Yu Wenqian, I told you, in the treasury, I asked Wei Xian to deposit four million taels of silver."

"Are you deaf? Can't understand people? ”

Yu Wenqian's face became solemn.

Waste Emperor, it's not like a joke.

His emotions also became stiff, and he lowered his head in embarrassment and gritted his teeth.

"I don't know how Your Majesty earned those four million silver?"

"Within ten days, Your Majesty will be able to earn four million taels of silver?"

Seeing that the civil and military officials didn't believe it, as Yu Wenqian's words increased, the more they didn't believe it, Wei Xian finally couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Yu Wenqian, you dare to question the Holy Lord?"

"The Holy One said that he earned four million taels of silver, then there are four million taels!"

Of course, he knew that he had earned five million taels, but one million taels of them was useful to Qin Xuan.

Therefore, Wei Xian continued to sneer.

"The Holy Saint has been making refined salt for ten days!"

"Our family and the queen mother assisted Your Majesty and sold the refined salt in exchange for a million taels of silver!"

"Not only that, but there are tens of thousands of sheep and thousands of ploughing cattle!"

"What else do you want to ask?!"
