Chapter 354: Asking for Money
Even Xu Jing has already found a good reason for what he has done.
Xie Tingyun still looked at Xu Jing with beautiful eyes.
What Xu Jing is doing now is too important, which is tantamount to giving a woman a new life.
"Of course, this kind of thing is not that easy, so you need to figure it out slowly."
"At the very least, you still have to take the first step, right?"
Xu Jing chuckled and rubbed Xie Tingyun's head and said softly.
"In this case, the people are willing to enter the church."
Xie Tingyun nodded extremely solemnly.
"Very well, why don't you have a long talk tonight? It just so happens that I still need to talk to you about some things about teaching and educating people. ”
Xu Jing held Xie Tingyun's hand and rubbed it gently.
Xie Tingyun's blushing face looked particularly attractive under the moonlight, as if a thin layer of gold dust had been applied to his face.
"Your Majesty!"
Xie Tingyun wanted to withdraw his hand.
was hugged by Xu Jing and walked towards the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, aren't you a strong man?"
Xie Tingyun gently patted Xu Jing's back, and his mouth fell on Xu Jing's ear in protest loudly.
"In a few days, the identity of a woman will not be simple."
"I can't take advantage of the fact that Xie Fuzi has not yet entered the hall, and I will rob it for the time being?"
Xu Jing laughed and slapped Xie Tingyun's buttocks.
Xie Tingyun stiffened, bowed his head shyly, and didn't even dare to resist Xu Jing's actions.
"Your Majesty, you are really heroic!"
Above the attic, Wu Shi and Gonggong Cao, who were in charge of taking care of Xu Jing, watched Xu Jing swagger and carry Xie Tingyun back to the dormitory, and he forced a sentence out of his mouth.
Gonggong Cao glanced at Wu Shi and grabbed Wu Shi and walked out.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
Inside the house, Xie Tingyun soon shouted in protest.
Immediately afterward, the shouting turned into a low, rhythmic, and tactful voice.
Early the next morning, Cao Gong knocked on Xu Jingfang's door: "Your Majesty, the gold and silver from Jizhou have been transported back to the capital." ”
"Where?"
When Xu Jing heard this, he immediately changed his clothes and hurried out.
"It has been transported into the treasury of the East Palace, just waiting for His Majesty to see it."
Gonggong Cao replied in a low voice.
"Let's go, take me to see."
Xu Jing was excited, and immediately motioned to Gonggong Cao to lead the way.
In a short time, the two of them rushed to the door of the storeroom.
At this moment, more than a dozen eunuchs were busy, transporting boxes of gold and silver into the treasury.
"Tut-tut, this batch of silver is really at a good time!"
Xu Jing opened the box, and the golden light overflowed, illuminating Xu Jing's entire face as if it was plated with a thin layer of gold.
Looking at the pile of gold and silver in front of him, Xu Jing was overjoyed, and he was very satisfied when he grabbed a large ingot of silver.
Xu Jing didn't notice the embarrassed look on Grandpa Cao's face.
"What should I do?"
After a while, Xu Jingfang turned around and saw Gonggong Cao's expression.
"Back to Your Majesty, most of the officials in the court have learned about the transportation of gold and silver this time."
Gonggong Cao replied in a low voice.
"What? When did you learn about it? ”
When Xu Jing heard this, his whole body tensed, and his voice became a little more uneasy.
If it is known to outsiders, this batch of gold and silver will be taken away by this group of officials as soon as it arrives.
"It's about when I first entered the capital."
Gonggong Cao bowed his head and replied cautiously.
"It seems that this money comes and goes quickly."
"Before I can cover the heat, I have to hand it over."
Xu Jing didn't feel distressed, but he felt a pity.
After all, these gold and silver were finally obtained by Xu Jing from the hands of the Jizhou Wang clan.
As for this gold and silver, Xu Jing still wanted to keep it for making firearms.
Several months have passed since the development of the artillery, and Xu Jing is very greedy for the musket.
I plan to accumulate a batch of gold and silver, and recruit a group of geniuses to build a musket.
"If Your Majesty doesn't want to see it, you can excuse yourself from being sick."
Gonggong Cao gave Xu Jing a bad idea.
"Call sick? Do you believe that as long as I am sick, this group of old boys will break through the gate of the East Palace and come to ask for a meeting? ”
Xu Jing appreciated Gonggong Cao's eyes and said helplessly.
"This, yes."
Gonggong Cao was surprised, and then nodded slightly.
"Alright, go to the door and wait. If the time is not bad, these old boys should also come. ”
Xu Jing supported his forehead, feeling helpless.
Gonggong Cao nodded and was about to walk out.
"By the way, let them discuss it for themselves and come back. I don't want to hear these old boys turn my Yanzheng Hall into a vegetable market. ”
Xu Jing immediately reminded.
Gonggong Cao said in his heart, most of the people who came to ask for it were the chief officials of the six departments, how shameless could they be?
When Gonggong Cao just walked to the door of the East Palace.
But I saw six chief officers walking down from the carriage.
"Gonggong Cao, has Your Majesty ever gotten up?"
These people are several Shangshu and left and right servants of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.
"Your Majesty has risen."
Gonggong Cao nodded and replied with a smile.
"That's right, I'll wait for a twist and turn to report."
"I heard that the silver that His Majesty received from Jizhou has been sent to the house, is this really true?"
Some people get straight to the point, while others hit the side.
"Indeed, Your Majesty said. Let you plan to discuss how to divide this gold and silver into the East Palace. ”
Gonggong Cao smiled slightly and replied truthfully.
In an instant, in front of the East Palace, several of the six chief officials looked at each other with unkind eyes.
"My household only needs one million taels is enough, and the rest of the amount is fought for by a few people."
Lin Changhe threw out a sentence and took half a step back to give way to the battlefield.
"And my lord, why don't you take a step back? The old decay is only 2.5 million taels. ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu smiled and looked at He Hong and said.
"No, your old man doesn't know that this military department owes a lot of money for three years."
"Counting, that's a gap of almost seven hundred taels, and only two and a half million taels, so how can I explain to the people below?"
"Why don't you take a step back and take a million less?"
He Hong shook his head again and again, trying to get the Ministry of Industry to compromise.
"Fart! And adults you don't know! The difference owed by the Ministry of Industry is not small! ”
"That Master Di is even more dependent on my Ministry of Industry every day, and he has to take money."
"Moreover, Your Majesty has personally decreed that the school will be built, and a large number of scholars' four treasures will be purchased, and hundreds of thousands of books will be engraved."
】
"These are all white flowers! If the old man doesn't give face to the adult, it is really this money that must be missing. ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu shook his head like a rattle, and he was unwilling to back down from anything.
"How can these hundreds of thousands of soldiers not eat or drink? Human life is at stake! ”
He Hong held his breath and wailed loudly.
"And my lord, human life is really at stake, but 2.5 million is enough to distribute a lot."
"One step back?"
The Ministry of Industry also howled.
The two of you look at me and say a word, and neither of them wants to back down.
For a while, the front of the East Palace really became a vegetable market as Xu Jing predicted.
These two Shangshu did everything they could, complaining to each other, and they almost took off the official uniforms they had worn for many years and compared them with the patches on them.
provoked the two or so attendants to cover their faces and retreat, as if they didn't know these two chief officials at all.
Lin Changhe took the left and right attendants of the household to sit on one side and watch the big drama and laughed.
