Drunken Xiang Building.

In the staggered room, the smell of wine is in full swing.

When the eldest grandson Wuji arrived, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Lord Eldest Sun, why are you here?" Zhao Wujiang raised his glass and smiled, didn't you say you wouldn't come?

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly and sat down by himself, and the table was full of people besides Zhao Wujiang and the old fox prime minister Li Tao.

"You're getting more and more cunning!" The eldest grandson, Wuji, poured himself a full glass of wine.

Li Tao slapped the table, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry: "You are cunning, your whole family is cunning!" ”

"First of all, I took the opportunity to feast the ministers, and almost all the ministers who rewarded your face had to come, and then you showed your fox tail and asked everyone to raise funds for disaster relief and support the war!" The eldest grandson Wuji drank a drink, savored it, and looked at Zhao Wujiang who was smiling silently.

"Then you and Wang Yifang sang a big play, and let him take the lead in taking out a thousand taels of silver.

The play is fake, but the money is real, someone takes the lead in fundraising, and the people who want to befriend you in the future will follow and donate the silver.

Even if some ministers don't want to come up with the money, but most of them are involved in fundraising, they have to participate!

I have to say, you Zhao Wujiang really know how to handle people.

As long as the ministers of Zuixianglou raised funds, then no one in the Manchu Dynasty would dare not donate.

Tsk, at this point, you have taken advantage of the power of the entire Drunken Xianglou Minister tonight!

It's amazing, Zhao Wujiang. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head with a smile, and on the way here, he knew the whole process of today.

"After listening to it for a long time, I just waited for the eldest grandson to say a word, is there anything else?" Zhao Wujiang was full of smiles, and the eldest grandson Wuji analyzed it well, and basically said what he was thinking in the fundraising process.

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "You used your power to suppress people and let them donate a lot, right?" ”

"Where's the word? How can I use my power to suppress people, everyone is voluntary, don't believe Lord Changsun, you can ask casually! Zhao Wujiang said, calling Zhu Youci, the servant of the ministry.

Zhu Youci saw three people from Quan and Xiangguo sitting at a table, and summoned himself, and his heart was happy, and he ran over.

He clenched his fists and said respectfully, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you command?" ”

"Lord Zhu donated 5,000 taels of silver, I don't know if it was voluntary, or was it coercion?" Zhao Wujiang drank lightly.

Zhu Youci's heart tightened, which one is this singing?

He rolled his eyes and sneered:

"Now that Datang is in war and in the drought in Hebei Province, he decided to shrink his clothes and diet, and take out his belongings as donations, which is completely voluntary! This is the heart and responsibility of the people of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Good!" Zhao Wujiang clapped his hands, "This is my Datang official!" Everyone for the country, everyone for the people. Master Zhu's words, we should keep it in mind! ”

The courtiers who were always paying attention to Zhao Wujiang and the eldest grandson Wuji just now echoed their words.

"That's right! Raising funds for disaster relief and supporting the war is the duty of my people in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Even if Lord Zhao doesn't prepare this banquet today, we will voluntarily donate generously when we learn about the disaster in Hebei Province!"

"Yes, yes."

“......”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyelids jumped, and his heart sank.

Zhao Wujiang followed his words and made this hand, not only refuting him, but also showing his power.

Regardless of whether Zhao Wujiang used his power to suppress people and let the officials come up with huge sums of money, as long as he Zhao Wujiang stood here, then everyone would be voluntary.

"By the way, how much did the eldest grandson decide to donate?" Zhao Wujiang asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji had a cold face: "How much the old man donates, he naturally has it in his heart..."

Zhao Wujiang interrupted Eldest Sun Wuji's words: "No matter what Lord Eldest Sun says, he will be the first of the hundred officials, if he donates less..."

"If the old man wants to donate, he naturally has to be at the forefront!" The eldest grandson Wuji sneered, he could still get a few thousand taels of silver.

Zhao Wujiang poured a full glass of wine for the eldest grandson Wuji, and he did it first as a respect, "The eldest grandson is high-spirited, and the younger brother admires it!" Come, let's see how much the most recent one has donated? ”

He pulled out the list and spread it out, densely packed with fundraisers and money.

"One thousand taels, five thousand taels, three thousand taels...... Zhao Wujiang slowly read the past, at most it was five thousand taels of the servant of the ministry.

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard, and was more satisfied, thinking that he could donate six or seven thousand taels by himself.

"Thirty thousand taels!" Zhao Wujiang thought and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes widened, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out? Who donated 30,000 taels?

"The crown prince washes the horse and the king's wealth, 30,000 taels!" Zhao Wujiang didn't care about Eldest Sun Wuji's expression at all, read it again, and said with a smile: "Lord Eldest Sun decided to donate 50,000 taels or 60,000 taels?" ”

How the did you come up with 30,000 taels of a prince washing a horse? The eldest grandson Wuji roared angrily in his heart and kept roaring.

Now it's okay, if you say it, you have to be in the forefront of a hundred officials, so it must not be less than this number.

He was extremely painful, knowing that Zhao Wujiang was very good at using a donkey to beat snakes and sticks, so he shouldn't have said so many words to make Zhao Wujiang take advantage of loopholes.

The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and stretched out a hand, signaling for fifty thousand taels.

Zhao Wujiang looked like I understood, revealing an admiring look that the eldest grandson Wuji had never seen before.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned.

I saw Zhao Wujiang stand up and raise his glass:

"Colleagues, what is the prime minister? What is the head of a hundred officials? The eldest grandson explained to us very well that the greater the official position, the greater the responsibility!

I'm sure you have also seen it, he stretched out a hand and signaled to me that he wanted to donate five or thirty thousand taels!

Come, let's raise a glass to the eldest grandson! ”

The ministers exclaimed in an uproar, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in disbelief, good guy, donate 150,000 taels, worthy of being the head of all the prime ministers.

Their eyes were full of admiration.

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head with difficulty and looked at Zhao Wujiang with a smile on his face.

I'm special...

......

Night.

The Imperial Study.

Wen Yong's heart was full of joy, and the emperor, who had grown up by himself, became more and more diligent.

I saw Li Zhi constantly flipping through the chapters, sometimes frowning, sometimes pondering.

"Bang bang."

Someone knocked on the door of the study.

"Your Majesty! Lord Zhao sent it with a song. Xiao Yuzi congratulated.

"Bring it on!" Li Zhi said in a deep voice, thinking about how to fill the tight treasury and how to provide disaster relief, and he was anxious at the moment.

At the same time, he also wondered, how could Zhao Wujiang deliver the fold so late at night?

As he slowly spread out Zhao Wujiang's recital, his eyebrows gradually stretched, and then turned into surprise and exclamation.

"Zhao Wujiang... I actually solved this matter for me in advance! Li Zhi exclaimed.

Wen Yong was puzzled, took a step forward, and also saw the content on the fold.

It is said that he Zhao Wujiang set up a banquet for the ministers, and at the banquet, the ministers donated money one after another for disaster relief and war support.

A total of about 390,000 taels of silver were raised, of which the eldest grandson Wuji was 150,000 taels.

Li Zhi and the great eunuch Wen Yong glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Three hundred and ninety thousand taels? How could these ministers possibly come up with so much money for donations? How did Zao Wujiang manage to get them to take it out?

and the eldest grandson Wuji, who actually has 150,000 taels?

Li Zhi knew very well that his uncle, when he first ascended the throne, the treasury was tight one year, and he wanted to ask the eldest grandson Wuji to help, but the eldest grandson Wuji took out five thousand taels with a painful face, saying that he was all worth of money.

Now, Zhao Wujiang can actually ask the eldest grandson Wuji to donate 150,000 taels, which is ...... Li Zhizhi didn't know how to express his shocked and inexplicable feelings for a while.
