When the nobles present heard Xu Hongji's words, they all gasped.

They thought that buying a house would be too simple to do.

Although they did not have fiefdoms, they had a lot of land, and a lot of grain was dug out of the land every year.

They are also in business, and they do business with their name, and naturally they are prosperous, and no one dares to trouble them.

In the past one or two hundred years, each of their families has accumulated a lot of wealth as long as they can reproduce.

But as far as these nobles are concerned, when they hear about this admission condition and the annual tuition fee, they still feel ridiculous.

Confucius only accepts a few strips of bacon when he accepts students, and His Majesty, an officer trained by a military academy, can only serve as the commander of a thirty guards, but the annual tuition fee is 10,000 taels of gold.

But soon they have figured it out, I'm afraid this Rausch is in the tuition. The implication is not just the tuition fee, it is likely that this is the protection fee they pay to His Majesty today.

These people have mastered the army, and they have not paid too much in the affairs of Zhu Youxiao in the past few years, so they keep so much wealth, it is inevitable that His Majesty will be moved.

In the past, they held military power, Zhu Youxiao naturally did not move them for the time being, and now they have dispensable military power in their hands, if they don't make some contributions to Zhu Youxiao, I'm afraid Zhu Youxiao will have to get them.

Zhang Weixian said, "In this case, if you let ten children go to the military academy, then we have to empty our Rongguo Mansion, let's cut it by half, and send five to see the results." ”

Everyone was instantly attracted by Zhang Weixian's generosity, five children, that's a lot.

That's a lot, that's half a million taels of silver.

I have to contribute another 500,000 taels to the tuition fee every year, and it is 1 million taels for two years of study, which adds up to 1.5 million taels.

This Zhang Weixian took out almost one-third of his family wealth, how can others be so arrogant.

But some nobles saw that both Wei Guogong and Rong Guogong had paid a lot of money, and felt that these two animals saw things much better than them.

There are also many channels for people to collect intelligence, and they must know some inside stories better than they can, and everyone has paid for it, so they have to pay for it anyway, even if they only buy one house or two houses, they will have to pay for it.

But after hearing about the tuition fee and the price of this house, some Xungui only scolded Zhu Youxiao in his heart, "Faint gentleman! ”。

They are not stupid donkeys, and the family's property is not something that can be squandered like this, according to them, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, and they have to be scolded by their uncles and brothers when they go back.

Two-thirds of the honorable nobles decided to join this military academy, and in the following month or two, they all gave Colonel Zhu You a large amount of silver.

Just relying on this so-called military academy admission, Zhu Youxiao once again collected more than 40 million taels of silver, relying on the concept of such a school district house, he got so much silver, and the ministers in the court were red-eyed. Eight Chinese Net

Every day, Colonel Zhu You looked at the wolf-like eyes of the ministers, and he shuddered on the spot.

Where is this still the eyes of people, this is clearly one hungry wolf after another.

The ministers couldn't understand that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it was a lot of hard work to engage in silver, and you Zhu Youxiao also sent a eunuch to collect mining taxes before, and I didn't see how much silver was brought back, and the tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty was only seven or eight million taels.

With the continuous natural and man-made disasters, this tax is still desperately decreasing, how can it be that when it comes to His Majesty's current hands, he will collect tens of millions of taels of silver at every turn, hundreds of millions of taels of silver?

They had been thinking about the bedside for three nights, and they couldn't figure it out.

Especially those nobles are well-known iron roosters, who don't pull out a dime, and so many people are willing to send silver to Zhu Youxiao, they don't understand.

They have gone to see those houses in Xinfeng County, and when they look at these houses, they think that they are also good, and they all have them, but how good they are, it is simply impossible.

Just such a small house of one or two acres of land, if it was placed in the past for two thousand taels of silver, they can't figure it out if they sell it for one or two thousand taels of gold at every turn.

But soon, Zhu Youxiao told them that those who are willing to give out gold are smart people, and those who are not willing to pay gold will have to pay their own price.

On this day, Tainingbo Chen Qinian was drinking wine and singing at home, scolding Zhu Youxiao by the way.

In front of his wife, beautiful concubine, son and daughter, he said unashamedly: "Your Majesty's heart is really dark, we are all ancestors who have meritorious service, and the family continues to this day, I don't know how much help it has helped the Ming court." ”

"Now we want to join the Guards, they still don't agree, and let us send them silver, you think about the house of one acre of land, or the broken place in Xinfeng County, you dare to collect one or two thousand taels of gold from us, then Your Majesty must be confused."

"It's not good to say that he has worked too much on women's bodies, he has done such stupid things, the most stupid is Rongguo Gong Wei Guogong, these people really have no brains, so they are willing to be deceived by Your Majesty."

"You see your father is smarter, if I have this money, why don't I hide it at home, if he wants to dismiss the guards, let him do it, what does it matter to us."

"We don't have a big deal to enjoy our glory and wealth, don't worry, we still have so many fields, and we are still in business, and we don't know how much treasure flows into our homes every year, enough for us people to continue to enjoy the blessings for many generations."

"I have to say that our Daming country is now improving again, seeing that these homeless people are being suppressed by the guards less and less, and the day of Ansheng is coming soon, you people can live with peace of mind."

The son and grandson of Taininghou who were present also felt very reasonable when they heard this.

After two years of hard work, I became the commander of thirty people, and I don't know what it was for.

Chen Qinian's son arched his hand and said, "Dad, your eyes are still so vicious, Your Majesty wants to take out the silver from our pockets, that is really beautiful, so we just don't pay it for him." ”

Chen Qinian nodded, obviously very satisfied with his handwriting.

Now they look at the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Rongguo, like looking at fools, although their family's titles are not as high as other people's family titles, but they are eye-catching.

Just as they were celebrating each other, their gate was suddenly blown open, and a group of guards came in directly through the gate, shouting loudly: "Marquis Taining, your family's affairs have happened." ”

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
