"The students feel that there must be such people." Hu Weiyong said, "Those fierce generals haven't read any books, they only know how to fight, where do they know the power of the court?" ”

"Besides, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, let's wait to see a good show, hahaha!" After saying that, he laughed insolently.

Li Shanchang remained silent, he had already seen through it. Hu Weiyong is a very capable person, but he has one of the biggest problems, that is, he is easy to get carried away and do not know how to restrain.

"Then listen to you and see how it goes." Li Shanchang said, "In addition, you go and inform those Huaixi generals and let them not be stupid." ”

"The students obeyed." Hu Weiyong said.

"I don't know how Liu Bowen did it." After seeing Hu Weiyong leave, Li Shanchang muttered to himself. However, this kind of thing is not easy to ask face-to-face, and it is impossible to ask anything of value.

……

Sincerity Bofu.

There are four walls inside, and there is only one old servant in the house. Liu Bowen is upright and upright, and he previously ordered the killing of Li Shanchang's cronies, and the two became enemies. And the officials are incorruptible, without the slightest corruption.

"Father, my son frowned when he saw you coming back from the court, could it be that something big happened in the court today?" Liu Lian asked.

"The emperor rewarded the civil and military ministers with a pair of words for each in the court today." Liu Bowen stretched out his hand and pointed to the desk next to him, and said, "That's it, the emperor said that each piece will be sold for five million taels, and everyone will be able to collect it and hand it over to the treasury within half a month." ”

"Five million taels!" Liu Lian was stunned by this astronomical number, walked over and opened the scroll to see that there were only four words on it: patriotic businessman. "Father, the emperor's words are far worse than what my father wrote, and my father's words are only sold for two taels of silver, where is the emperor's words worth five million taels?"

"Chain, be quiet. Even though it's in your own home, you have to be careful when you speak. Liu Bowen said, "Although this character is worse than my father's, it is the emperor's imperial pen, and it is valuable for this reason." ”

"Although it is the emperor's imperial pen, it will not sell for five million taels?" Liu Liandao, "Five million? can scare people's guts, that is already the income of the Ming treasury for two years. ”

"Yes, even if we smash the pot and sell the iron and sell all the ancestral industries in Qingtian, it won't be enough to make up so much." Liu Bowen said, "My father initially thought that the emperor was doing this to find out corruption in the court. But when I think about it, I feel like it's trying to replenish the treasury. After thinking about it again, I felt wrong, the ministers of civil and military affairs are very poor, who can get five million taels? ”

"Your Majesty's mind is so inscrutable that it's hard to guess." "His keen insight and ability to recognize people surpass that of anyone else in the world. I remember that during the Battle of Poyang Lake, he saw the fighter plane that no one could see. ”

"Father is right, Your Majesty is too powerful, for example, this time." Liu Liandao.

If Zhu Yuanzhang was not powerful, he would never have been born as a beggar and became an emperor to create a miracle that has never been seen before. Everyone knows this, so all the ministers of civil and military affairs are afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.

"How to complete the task assigned by the emperor, I don't have any clue for my father." Liu Bowen said.

"What about the other ministers of civil and military affairs?" Liu Lian asked.

"I don't know for my father." Liu Bowen is cautious as an official and rarely inquires about the news of other officials, and because he is supervising the imperial history of hundreds of officials, he basically has no party members, and only a few students have dealings with him, "But Yang Xian revealed a little bit of news to his father, saying that Li Shanchang's side has been standing still, and it seems that he is waiting for His Majesty to make a move." ”

"It seems that we can only do this, to see how His Majesty sells his 50 million taels worth of words, and to whom he sells it. Maybe there will be a turning point for the better. ”

"Your Majesty wants to personally sell a word worth fifty million taels of silver!?" Liu Lian gasped, "I can't think of how Your Majesty can do this." ”

"I can't think of it as a father." Liu Bowen said, "Fifty million taels of silver is not a small amount, it is an astronomical amount, no one in Ying Tianfu has this financial resources?" I'm afraid that looking at the whole world, there is no such person, right? ”

"Even the treasury has less than 50 million taels of silver!"

"Among the wealthy businessmen in Ying Tianfu, only Shen Wansan is more famous." Liu Liandao, "But I'm afraid he won't be able to take out 50 million taels, he funded His Majesty to build one-third of the city wall last time, and there is not much left of his family property." ”

"Everyone is waiting to see what His Majesty does, and it's up to you to see who can understand it first." Liu Bowen said, "Whoever understands first will be able to get His Majesty's respect, and he will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future." His Majesty's move is also to examine the ability of the ministers. ”

……

At the same time, some Huaixi generals who did not see the key points clearly, ministers born into famous families, were already raising money on their own. They felt that the sooner they handed over the money, the more they would demonstrate their skill and loyalty.

Even, they are still waiting to see other people's jokes.

Ma Dao Street, Shen Mansion.

"Master, something is wrong." As soon as Shen Wansan walked into the mansion, an old servant stepped forward and reported eagerly, "The housekeeper Shen Wang was taken away by the people in the yamen of Yingtian Mansion." ”

"Shen Wang was taken away? What the hell is going on! Shen Wansan's expression suddenly froze when he heard this. As a well-known businessman in Yingtianfu, even Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang knew about him, and he would give him more or less face, not to mention the official mansion. And now a little Ying Tianfu Yin, without prior notice, went directly to the house and arrested the housekeeper?

"Dare to take my butler?" Shen Wansan said coldly, "If they don't give me some explanation, I will go to the Forbidden City to sue the emperor." ”

"Master, the people in the yamen said that Shen Wang was a collaborator with the enemy and betrayed the country." The servant said, "The people in the yamen searched the housekeeper's residence, and soon found the letters he exchanged with the remnants of the former Yuan. ”

Letters found!? This is already conclusive evidence! Shen Wansan's brows furrowed even tighter.

He has been doing business all over the country before, and his footprints have traveled all over the country, and of course he has also been to Yuan Dadu. He also had business dealings with the government of the Yuan Dynasty, and only made a lot of money by doing business with the imperial court, and he even did business with the rebels in various places.

Shen Wansan used to be able to say that he was dancing on the sword and making money on the edge of life and death. However, because of his excellent business acumen, he can easily move among warlords in various places.

When doing business with the former Yuan Guan's Mansion and even the princes and ministers, Shen Wang was his deputy. And Shen Wang is also very clever and sophisticated, which can not only help him make money but also get out of the way.

Therefore, now the government says that he colluded with the remnants of the former Yuan, and it is not groundless.
