Chapter 10: Ten thousand taels of silver

On the second day, Zhuge Liang still did not appear, and Zhu Ming disappeared with him.

As for Yuan Yin, Xia Yan has already figured it out.

The two must have been unfinished in their tasks, and they were ashamed and afraid to see themselves.

It's just that Zhuge Liang didn't go to court because he had his own permission, but Zhu Ming didn't, and the necessary procedures still had to be there.

"What about Prime Minister Zhu?"

"Uh...... Your Majesty, it is said that Prime Minister Zhu drank too much wine yesterday, and he has not woken up for the time being today, as for the reason for drinking......"

The person who spoke, named Yuan Liyang, was very kind, and was the number two person in the seven-person team except for Zhu Ming.

His official position is also very high, and he is currently the head of the household, because he is in charge of the treasury and his own wide heart and fat body, so he has always been called "Yuan Fat who picks the door".

But before Yuan Liyang's words were finished, Xia Yan directly waved his hand first.

"That's it, it doesn't matter what the reason is, Prime Minister Zhu is also old, so he should indulge and indulge occasionally, and pass on my order to let him take a week's vacation."

"Oh, okay."

Yuan Liyang nodded, and stopped speaking the next words.

didn't see it, Xia Yan's heart was proud.

Why do you drink, I don't know, isn't it just drinking!

The task is too heavy to complete, and it is normal to drink some alcohol when you are too old to bear it, and when you are under pressure.

Drink it, drink it, it's better if you're all unconscious!

Although Zhu Ming rarely has a point-to-point opinion other than sycophants, he is an old official who has been in officialdom for a long time.

Sometimes, grasping some details is the key to success or failure!

"Prime Minister Zhu has a week off, you don't need to report your whereabouts to me, you can play wherever you like, it's okay!"

"Oh yes, the progress of the levy squire doesn't need to be reported to me for the time being, you can just look at it yourself, I still say the same thing, if you don't want to cooperate in a week, then go straight to the house!"

……

Soon after, a certain uncle, who had received the holy decree in the courtyard, was in tears.

"I drank too much and didn't complain about it, and I said that I could do whatever I wanted, Your Majesty was actually very good to me, but I said that he was a faint king, what a bastard!"

"No, I can't hold back, Prime Minister Zhuge is working hard, I also need to help!"

"Well, go now!"

……

And just like that, another five days passed.

During this time, Xia Yan didn't care about the progress of the requisition, anyway, even if he thought about it with his toes, he knew that it would definitely be a no-grain.

Even if there is really a foolish family that will be fooled by Zhuge Liang's clever tongue, they will never really hand over seventy percent of their net worth.

In this way, the gentry who hold more than seventy percent of the wealth of the people are angry, and it is not all logical.

And Zhu Ming and Zhuge Liang are not here these days, and they can be quiet.

After several people in the court lost Zhu Ming as the backbone, many people would not play anymore.

Especially now Yuan Liyang, the leader of several people, just knows that he looks at himself with a smile every day, and the corners of his fat mouth have never hung down at all.

Xia Yan didn't care about this, maybe Zhu Ming was not happy that he was not a big brother for Yuan Liyang.

It's just that this is too exaggerated.

It was exaggerated as if the treasury he managed was full......

It's just that how can your left eye jump, this is jumping wealth?

Shouldn't it......

Let's go to court first.

Now a full week has passed since Xia Yan promulgated the policy, and it is also the last day of the one-week deadline he gave Zhuge Liang.

This is clear to everyone in the court, so Zhuge Liang also returned to the court at this moment.

Also appeared was Zhu Ming, who should still be on vacation at the moment.

And Zhu Ming's face was ruddy, and he came to the court before he woke up from last night's wine.

Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Xia Yan's face.

Looking at this, Zhu Ming should have been borrowing alcohol every day to kill his worries because the task could not be completed.

If the guess is right, if you can make Zhu Ming, the old man, drink like this, there is a high probability that the family will not be negotiated.

It's normal to think about it, after all, this broken task can be taken by people, and this kind of thing is unlikely to be completed even if you think about it.

It's okay now, I'm afraid I'll be criticized if I can't complete the task!

"The two prime ministers, how many of those country gentlemen have agreed to hand it in? I'll hear it. ”

As soon as the words fell, the two prime ministers below began to pass the buck to each other.

"Prime Minister Zhu, say it."

"No, no, no, Prime Minister Zhuge should say to you, you come, you come."

Seeing this, Xia Yan almost laughed out loud on the spot.

This is not a typical case of passing the buck to each other for not completing tasks.

In the evacuation, the final draft was Zhuge Liang standing in the center of the main hall.

"Well, Your Majesty, then I'll report to you."

"It's good, it's good, it's good, Prime Minister, I'm optimistic about you."

"Ahem, the first one is the Qin family in the west of the city, and they have promised to hand over seventy percent of all the assets in the family to the treasury."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the applause of the surrounding officials.

"The prime minister's exit is really twice the result with half the effort, this Qin family is a merchant family, and their family's silver is piled up, and it is just right to hand it over to the treasury!"

"Yes, yes, I'll just say that Prime Minister Zhuge has a task that can't be completed!"

Several people showed incomparable excitement on their faces, but only Xia Yan's face was strange.

"......, Qin family, do you mean the Qin family that you went with Prime Minister Zhu that day?"

"Not bad."

Hearing this, Xia Yan began to doubt his life, but he saw them arguing with his own eyes, and he could still be broken back?

Then, as if thinking of something, he continued to speak.

"But Prime Minister, how do you know if he has handed over seventy percent of his property?"

"Then there is a way!"

Zhuge Liang silently took out an account book from the sack behind him.

"Your Majesty, this is the Qin family's account book, which records the Qin family's recent flows, we calculated the Qin family's property according to an extremely rigorous algorithm, and converted it all into silver, and now a trading house and an armory shop under the name of the Qin family have been nationalized, and a full 10,000 taels of silver have been handed over."

"Hiss......"

Soon, there were several gasps in the field.

Many of them were shocked.

This is not some casual little money, this is 10,000 taels of silver!

You must know that the treasury income of the whole year of last year was only 20,000 taels of silver.

This is just a wealthy family, and it has reached the income of last half a year.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Qin family is a rich family!

This deal is simply amazing!

Naturally, Xia Yan was also shocked, and there was no doubt that his economic index would inevitably rise after such an operation.

It's just that at present, it should be difficult to reach the level where it can pass.

As for how far it can go, it all depends on the next one.

Xia Yan thought so, but Yu Guang didn't know why he saw a fat man.

Yuan Liyang.

As the master of money, he is most concerned about any change in property on weekdays.

However, when Zhuge Liang said 10,000 taels of silver now, he was just smiling faintly.

Why is that? ……
