"Only leave tens of thousands of taels of silver for the emperor, and the rest will belong to your household? Lu Chang, you are so bold! Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly. The emperor has a treasury behind him? When we want to build a new palace, I'm afraid you will say that this matter costs the people and money and the country is not profitable, and you keep crying in front of us that you are poor and refuse to give money, right?

"Old minister...... The old minister lost his words, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive him. After Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened, Lu Chang's voice trembled, but he still used the afterglow of his eyes to look at the pile of gold, silver and jewelry.

"Lu Chang, it seems that you are still thinking about our silver in your heart!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, old minister, I really want Your Majesty's silver, not in general, but very much." Lu Chang said, "With these 50 million taels of silver, the household will become rich immediately." Then you can influence the whole country, make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, and let the people live in peace......"

"Your Majesty, the old minister desperately wants silver, it's all for my Ming! If His Majesty refuses to give it, the old minister will keep kowtowing to you until he dies, and the old minister can be regarded as asking for the people's life. ”

"Do you need money to die? You're too greedy for money, aren't you? Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is not greedy for himself, but for the country and the people of the world." Lu Chang said.

"However, do you think it is appropriate to use the emperor's private money to enrich the treasury?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The emperor himself also asks for money, if the emperor has no money, what will he use to build the palace and set up a banquet?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Lu Chang said, "If you want to build a palace and have a big banquet in the future, the old minister just turns a blind eye." The emperor was allowed to squander a little, and acquiesced in the emperor's extravagant life. ”

"What if we're going to send troops?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again. That's what he's really for.

Zhu Yuanzhang now has a plan to expand his territory, and the most difficult point of starting a war is that he must face the collective opposition of scholars. Lu Chang is also one of the clear streams, and when the time comes, he opposes the start of the war under the pretext that the household department has no money.

"If Your Majesty wants to send troops, the household department will definitely give full support, and will never say that there is no money." Lu Chang is very good.

"That's pretty much it." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "This money was originally our own, and we just put it in your household department temporarily, which can be regarded as a loan to the household department." When the time comes, if you dare to say that the household department has no money, we will let you return the 50 million taels first. ”

"Your Majesty is willing to hand over the silver to the treasury?" Lu Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, "The old minister is grateful for His Majesty's imperial grace for the people of the world!" "I want to get the money first, and then I will talk about it, and as for not paying it back later, it will be a matter for later.

You are the uncle before the money arrives, and after you get it, the account that borrowed the money is the uncle.

When you want to repay the money, I'm afraid most of the money will be used, and even if you want to, you can't pay it back.

"Alright, you can have the silver fetched back."

"Emperor Xie!"

In addition, it won't be long before the household department has 100 million taels of silver in the account. The 100 million taels were also lent to the household department. Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"And 100 million taels of silver?" Lu Chang was stunned. He was the head of the Yuan Dynasty, and now he is the head of the Ming Dynasty, but the treasury of the two dynasties has never had a huge deposit of hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

He has seen money, but he has never seen hundreds of millions of silver in his life.

"Your Majesty is really a person, supporting the entire household!" Lu Chang sighed,

"Your Majesty is really a celestial being!"

……

"Your Majesty, Linjiang Marquis Chen De asked to see him, and he brought five carriages into the palace." At this time, Mao Mosaic appeared behind him like a ghost and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Look, the giver of the silver has come, and this time it is five million taels." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was cold when he heard this, and he turned his head to Lu Chang.

"Your Majesty, will the five million taels also be transported here, and then the old minister will also transport the Dao treasury?" Lu Chang asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and strode forward, followed by Mao Ting. "Chen De, see Your Majesty." Outside the palace gate, Linjiang Marquis Chen De visited Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Chen De, did you sell the pair of words we gave you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, the last general has been sold." Chen Dedao, "The whole five million taels of silver are all in the carriage." ”

"Take it!" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was cold.

"Your Majesty, the last general is not guilty!" Chen De, who was pressed to the ground by the Imperial Forest Army, raised his head and looked at the emperor with a blank expression, "Your Majesty, the last general is not guilty, not only innocent but also meritorious, because the last general is the first to sell the word." ”

"Did you really sell it, who did you sell it to?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "You are out of your own pocket, you are guilty of bullying the king." Your little Hou Shilu is only 1,500 stones, where did you get 5 million taels of silver? When you attacked Quzhou, you killed all the rich families in Quzhou, seized their wealth, and killed their heads......"

"Your family should have saved at that time, right?"

"Escort him to the noon gate and behead him, and then raid the house, and all the money he has stolen will be sent to the household department."

"Command!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang, you dog, Lao Tzu followed you to fight the world back then, and there have been dozens of battles. Now that you have won the country, you are going to kill all of our heroes, and you will enjoy the glory and wealth alone? Chen De scolded, "Zhu Yuanzhang, the history books are like iron, you will be stinking for 10,000 years!" "He was born as a farmer, and he can scold any swearing.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to pay attention to it and turned to leave, the reason why he didn't do them before was because the situation did not allow it, and now it is considered to be a reckoning after the autumn. If Chen De only plundered money back then, it would have been tolerable, but he would not have been able to forgive him for destroying all the rich households. Moreover, Chen De did not hand over the huge wealth after plundering it, but took possession of it privately, which also violated his taboo.

As for Chen De's last scolding, after getting the country, he killed the heroes, rabbits and dogs cooked or something, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care.

He has made up his mind to be a lone husband.

No matter how it is recorded in the history books in the future, as long as he is good to the people and has a clear conscience.

The historical pen is in the hands of literate readers, and he has long offended many readers, offended the family, and offended Qingliu, and he has long expected that he will be smeared by them in the future.

Most of the people who get benefits are illiterate, and they can only read Zhu Yuanzhang's good in their hearts, and they can't record it.

"Summons Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Liu Bowen, Wang Guangyang, Yang Xian, and Lu Chang to come and meet you!" Back in the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Soon, several people came to the imperial study.

"Now that the household department has money, I want you to discuss three major things." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The first thing is to encourage farming to resume production, the second is to send someone to exterminate the bandits in various provinces, and the third is to send the minister to Henan and Shandong for disaster relief." ”
