Chapter Twenty-Three: The Giant of Gold and Silver
Zhao Gao took the order to leave, and the hall suddenly heard the ministers breathing in and out.
The ministers looked at each other, and they were all seriously surprised, but they didn't dare to look at it because the first emperor was on top.
Among the Manchu courtiers, those who are loyal to the country are questioning with hope, those who are two-faced and three-stabbed are only waiting for which side is better, and those who oppose the camp are even more sneering, thinking that Fusu is exaggerating in order to get rid of the crime.
Rao is Fusu is so eloquent, Li Si, who ranks first among civil officials, is still half-convinced, especially with the hope that Fusu will be convicted of bullying the king.
You must know that if Fusu can really solve this urgent need for the first emperor, his eldest son's status in Yingzheng's heart in the future will not be comparable to others.
At that time, it will be even more difficult for me to fully support Hu Hai Gongzi.
In the face of personal interests and crises, the real crisis of Great Qin seems to be less important in the eyes of this prime minister of a country.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben have not changed their complexions.
From beginning to end, he stood in front of the military attache like a turquoise, and was not disturbed by the fluctuations of the court.
In the eyes of the two, the allegiance is first to the country, and then to the king.
As for those things that fight for power, the two don't want to get involved.
Fusu's actions today were unexpected by the two, but that didn't mean anything, he was still just a son, Fusu.
is not the official heir of the Great Qin River, let alone the king of a country sitting high in the palace.
As for the matter of money, if Fusu can really solve the top priority for Daqin, it will naturally be good.
Fusu had already expected the courtiers' scrutiny and questioning, and he still stood in the hall with his back straight and his face solemn.
This time, after all, I won.
He didn't dare to say that he had gained Yingzheng's trust, at least, a few more chips.
The amount of money is huge, and it is normal for the ministers to not believe it.
At that time, the gold and silver will be carried to the church, and we will see.
For the surprise and doubts of half of the ministers, Fusu did not pay attention to it.
After a while, someone couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask.
The person who came was the imperial envoy doctor Feng Zheng, who was quite neutral and had no bias for the time being.
Feng Zheng made an official salute and said tentatively: "Dare to ask Gongzi, what is the amount of silver in the treasury?" ”
"One million two thousand taels of gold and four million three thousand taels of silver." Fusu spoke indifferently, his tone was unwavering, as if this huge wealth was just an ordinary object in his eyes.
The gold and silver in the system will be counted automatically, and there is no need for him to count them again, Fusu has long known it.
As soon as the words fell, there was a distinct sound of inhalation in the hall.
All the ministers showed a look of surprise, before Fusu claimed to be able to solve the urgent needs of Great Qin, some people thought he was exaggerating.
Now that the number has come out, it is even more unbelievable.
You must know that Great Qin levied sixty percent of taxes, and Qin's annual tax revenue was only 30 million taels of silver.
As soon as Fusu opened his mouth, it was a million in gold and millions in silver.
This is calculated as more than 16 million silver, which is worth the tax revenue of the whole country of Great Qin in the first half of the year.
With a few outdoor properties and the first emperor's bounty, this is too shocking.
Some admire, some are surprised, some question.
There are also people who show disdain and believe that Fusu is opening a river.
There is no doubt that these people are either imperial moths who have been caught by Fusu, or followers of Huhai Lisi's side.
Fu Su stood in the hall, taking in the reactions of the civil and military officials.
sneered secretly, hoping that some old-fashioned things would not be frightened when the facts were in front of me.
In fact, he himself understands that it is a bit unreasonable to accumulate so much wealth just from those superficial industries.
But he can't say that what he really relies on is the wealth accumulation system.
With this system, coupled with his management and accumulation of modern thinking over the years.
In fact, the accumulated amount of money is several times more than the amount he reported.
It's just that it's the hole card he left for himself, and it's easy to use.
Zhili Neifu stepped forward again, standing beside Feng Zai, facing Fusu.
Half questioning and half surprised: "Childe can know that such a amount is my Daqin's tax for half a year." ”
"Xiaguan knows that Gongzi is quite talented, if it is really as Gongzi said, let's talk about admiration here."
Fusu calmly opposed him, and before he spoke, he knew that he admired him on his face, but in fact he was tempting, and he didn't want to explain more.
At this moment, an internal official came to the outside of the hall and asked the First Emperor to say:
"Back to Your Majesty, there is a lot of gold and silver in Ganquan Palace, and the CRRC Mansion will personally lead the soldiers to clear the armor one by one, and then move it to the lobby."
Ying Zheng's face was solemn, and he swept around the faces of the ministers.
Without saying a word, he waved his hand to do so.
Hearing this, the courtiers and workers were all looking forward to it, each with their own thoughts.
Those who are worried about the country hope that this urgency can be solved, and those who are self-interested look forward to helping Su to slap his face.
Ganquan Palace, inside the underground palace.
Zhao Gao had an order, and he had already begun to order the soldiers to carry boxes of gold and silver.
He stood in front of the door of the underground palace, and he could see all the wealth inside, his eyes were slightly dignified, and his face was gloomy.
At this time, the huge waves in his heart were already raging, and he had been caught off guard by the vain changes.
I thought that today was the dead end of Fusu.
didn't know that it became a stepping stone for him to go up.
Zhao Gao never expected that in just three years, Fusu would be silent.
But under the eyes of Hu Hai and him, he gathered this gold and silver comparable to the treasury.
In the past, he only said that although Fusu was smart, he was too upright, which is why he chose to be easy to control.
A little trick is enough to make him lose His Majesty's Sacred Heart.
But now it seems that he conspired with Hu Hai several times, but he was silently defeated.
From today onwards, we must take a good look at this eldest son of the first emperor and the biggest rival of Hu Hai's succession.
It's just that now that Fusu has regained the trust of the first emperor, if you want to bring him down, you have to be extremely cautious.
He quickly disguised his complexity and led the gold and silver convoy to the lobby.
Zhao Gao took the lead in going to the palace and said happily: "Back to Your Majesty, the prince's treasury is full of gold and silver, which will definitely relieve Your Majesty's sorrows." ”
After speaking, a humble smile immediately appeared on his face, which was liked by the first emperor.
Ying Zheng was in a better mood when he saw this, and his usually calm face was rarely dyed with a smile.
With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Lift it up." ”
Zhao Gao immediately got up and bowed outside the hall and waved lightly to the armor.
Dozens of armor soldiers carried heavy wooden boxes and placed them in the center of the lobby in turn.
The ministers on both sides can see it clearly.
The number in this hall alone should not be underestimated, not to mention that the armor has not yet been moved.
It seems that Fusu is not exaggerating, and the gold and silver in this underground palace are indeed as he said.
It can pay taxes to the national treasury for half a year, and it can solve the crisis of Daqin.
Fusu then approached, looking at the gold and silver on the ground, his face was not obvious, and his heart was dripping blood.
That's all his years of hard work!
Ying Zheng got up and went down the hall, put his hands on his shoulders approvingly, and said approvingly:
"Okay, okay, it's really a blessing for Daqin that my son has such preparations."
Fusu bowed his head respectfully, and self-humility was within the purview of his sons.
Xindao used so much property to exchange for Yingzheng's trust, and it was worth it.
At least this time, he should not be demoted to North County as he was in history, and there will be no return date.
Fusu's mood suddenly eased a lot.
Some questioned that the ministers scoffed at these boxes when they first saw them.
When they saw that there were still countless armor carrying into the box, it could be seen that the gold and silver had not yet been moved to the halfway point.
One by one, their faces changed.
Seeing this, Fusu smiled secretly in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhili Neifu, who had been tempted before, nervously wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and took the initiative to come forward to confess.
He first congratulated Yingzheng and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, with this money, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and the minister is happy for Your Majesty." ”
Then he turned to Fusu and said: "Gongzi is really a businessman, he was narrow-minded before, and he still hopes that Gongzi Haihan." ”
Fusu cooperated with the illusion of the minister Liang Zigong, and even said, "It's okay, it's okay, the Lord of the Inner Mansion is also worried about his father." ”
