The trial of the fire gun is carried out by order, and after the event is completed, it will be entered into the palace on the same day to pay the order.

The excerpts presented by Ye Jingtian were written in great detail, and the eunuch Gao Fu read them one by one.

Thinking of today's donation of silver, Emperor Xiaowu, who was sitting on the seat of Sumeru, interrupted Gao Fu and said, "I didn't hear clearly. ”

Gao Fu immediately raised his voice, read the donation silver again, and said: "The people donated, a total of 180,000 taels." ”

How many people are there in the capital?

Four hundred thousand!

How much do people donate?

180,000!

Emperor Xiaowu closed his eyes that opened in surprise, and waved his hand to signal Gao Fu to continue reading.

Gao Fu quickly glanced at Ye Jingtian, realized the staring back, and then read, "Beijing officials donated 80,000 yuan, released officials 70,000 yuan, and merchants outside Beijing donated 50,000 yuan." ”

After Gao Fu finished reading, he put down the fold, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "The slave remembers that the general took the lead in donating 200,000 silver, and the inside and outside add up here......"

He was pleasantly surprised, "Four hundred and eighty thousand! ”

"The officials don't add up to the people who donate!"

Emperor Xiaowu got down from the Sumeru seat, did not call the eunuch to help, and walked slowly in the dojo with his hands behind his back, "Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." Those filthy officials have a little bit of the court in their hearts, and they won't just donate a little bit of silver! It's chilling. Prince! ”

The prince, who was listening next to him, hurriedly said, "The son is here." ”

"What's going on with those officials? The common people understand that the firearm is the important weapon of the country, and they have donated money, but they don't understand? ”

"The prince has already told the truth," the prince took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his head, and said, "Many officials rely on borrowing money to get by, and this is still squeezed out, and there are really not many." The son did not dare to force him. ”

Emperor Xiaowu turned around and looked at Ye Jingtian: "The silver donated by the common people was forced out?" ”

Ye Jingtian owed himself and said, "Don't dare." At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people are rich, and they have a patriotic heart, so why persecut? They are thirty or fifty liters, and there are many people who have great strength......"

What the prince said was the truth. He said in his heart how many people are there and how many are the officials? Throughout the ages, donating money to the imperial court, the first time, recorded in the history books, future generations will only laugh.

Waiting for Ye Jingtian to finish speaking, the prince said without being cold or hot, "A fire gun costs thirty taels, and it will be scrapped if you use a thousand shots, it is a money-burning thing, can it be done by donating alone?" ”

No, no, no, no?

Ye Jingtian complained in his heart, and said, "What the prince said is true." The minister is just doing his best at this time. ”

The courtiers have done their best, what have the princes done?

The crown prince wiped his sweat again, "The emperor has to make an idea." ”

Emperor Xiaowu turned his head and said, "I have decided to reduce the number of troops," and then went to see the crown prince.

The prince's heart trembled, and he raised his head and asked, "Who's cutting?" ”

"This can be discussed later," Emperor Xiaowu stroked the hem of his robe on his knees, picked up the tea, and said: "Donation is a good thing, and there are many ways." ”

The prince thought about cutting the army, and replied absent-mindedly: "Yes." "I didn't hear that Emperor Xiaowu was asking.

Emperor Xiaowu could only narrow his gaze, turned to look at Ye Jingtian, drank tea and said casually: "I heard that there is something else to attract investment. ”

The matter of attracting investment is not the same as making a storm in the city, and whoever does not donate is not patriotic. The investment promotion is all done in private, and to put it bluntly, the General's Mansion acts as a matchmaker between foreign businessmen and shops in the capital. It's all about face.

Ye Jingtian deliberately didn't mention this, but he didn't expect Emperor Xiaowu to know about it.

"There is a matter of attracting investment," Ye Jingtian explained lightly what it means to attract investment.

"That's a good idea," Emperor Xiaowu blew a little hot tea, "30,000 taels for a merchant?" ”

“…… Be. ”

Ye Jingtian's face was pale,

Only then did the prince come back to his senses and exclaimed, "Aren't there more than a dozen merchants outside the camp today?" ”

Ye Jingtian stubbornly said no.

"Collect other people's money and do things for others, I understand."

“……”

“……”

*

On the hottest day of this summer, I want Steward Hu to say, either today or yesterday.

Anyway, when I move and sweat, I can't get angry in the morning. The heat wave floating in mid-air is visible to the naked eye.

Steward Hu shook his fan vigorously at the door of Tingxue Hall, and said, "Haven't gotten up yet?" ”

Ya'er stopped in front of him with a bucket of water, "If you don't get up, you don't get up, what do you mean you haven't gotten up?" My lady slept late! What the hell is going on with you? ”

A little girl, not polite to the housekeeper. Can you be so arrogant without taking the monthly money from the General's Mansion?

Steward Hu glanced at her a few times, "Last night, Madame sent someone to ask her if she had come back, and asked her to come over and talk." Today, a general also asked and told her to come and talk. It's good for her, what time is it, she can't get up from sleep! ”

"Just say no?" Ya'er rolled her eyes, looking like she was listening to your fart in vain, and rubbed the bucket into the courtyard.

Lin Qingqing couldn't sleep in the morning, so she washed with the well water in the basin.

Ya'er handed her a handkerchief and said, "Miss is going or not?" ”

Wipe your face clean, grab your hair casually, braid your troubles, and look in the mirror while braiding. Lin Qingqing said, "Don't go." Tell Lao Hu that I am not tired and can't get out of bed. ”

"Okay," Ya'er went out, and told her.

Steward Hu stomped his feet on the spot. I told you so.

Ye Jingtian, who had been waiting for such a sentence for a long time, took Mr. Jing to listen to Xuetang.

Lin Qingqing had just finished washing.

Dressed in a water-green cross-collared dress, her hair is braided into a fishbone braid, only the top of the braid at the back of her head is decorated with a small fan-like jewelry, and a little coral red ear buckle in her left ear, which is refreshing and refreshing, standing slim, no matter how you look at it, you are not sick.

Ya'er hesitated to serve them tea.

Lin Qingqing had already asked directly: "What's the matter?" ”

"See for yourself," Ye Jingtian put down a paperwork.

Ya'er ran over to take it with a look in her eyes and handed it to Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing opened it and saw that this was an excerpt of the reply.

The content on the excerpt is simply related to the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the next month.

Specifically, the General's Mansion wants to make the Mid-Autumn Festival the same event as yesterday.

To put it bluntly, it's to make money.

Lin Qingqing handed the fold to Ya'er and said, "It's good." ”

"Then you sort out the rules and tell them to do it," Ye Jingtian stared at her

Lin Qingqing smiled: "I said 'it's good', but I didn't say that I was tidy." ”

Ye Jingtian is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and her attitude is also expected. Then he said: "The matter is done, I will give you a percent." ”

Lin Qingqing found a place to sit down and said, "Don't." ”

Ye Jingtian gritted his teeth: "Twenty percent!" ”

"Poof~" The little man sitting on the east wall covered his mouth and smiled, "Silver, I can't spend enough." ”

Someone gave her 400,000 taels last month!

But Ye Jingtian didn't think about this, it was the general's mansion that now still owed 200,000 taels of silver to the household department!

How much advantage did Lin Qingqing take advantage of inside and outside here?

The past can't be mentioned, Ye Jingtian pinched his palm and said slowly, "What conditions do you want to open, you can say it directly." ”
