In the mansion, Wan Wei sat in the pavilion by the lotus pond, drinking and having fun with the invited court dignitaries.

On the opposite side is a narrow lotus pond and a play of singing songs in Sunon's soft language.

They all applauded loudly.

The quality is no different from the common people in the theater.

Wan Changzuo was in the corridor outside the pavilion, and after listening to the servant's report, he came to Wan Wei.

He said: "Father, the palace secretly sent someone to say that he wanted you to take the lead in donating silver. ”

Zhou Kui said disdainfully: "Your Majesty also asked me to take the lead, think about it, I rely on Your Majesty to barely have enough food and clothing, how can I have the money to donate to the imperial court." ”

Tian Hongyu was a little angry, and said dissatisfiedly: "No, the imperial court doesn't know why, and it hits the heads of us poor officials." ”

Wan Wei waved his hand at them and said, "This eye is too much, if it reaches the emperor's ears, wouldn't it be a big crime to deceive the emperor." ”

Everyone laughed.

The reason why I chose to be in the gazebo is to prevent someone from spreading the word.

Wan Wei This is the secret folding system of yin and yang weirdness Chongzhen, which made the ministers a little "panicked".

At best, it's panic.

Due to Chongzhen's suspicion and the protection of officials and officials, the secret fold is almost equivalent to waste paper.

The rules in people's mouths are not worth it in the eyes of these top nobles.

Wan Wei gave Zhou Kui a dish and asked, "Guozhang donated generously, how much silver did he donate?" ”

"I am here today thanks to the protection of the emperor."

Zhou Kui put down his chopsticks and compared the numbers: "I donated 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Ten thousand taels? Everyone laughed.

"How much do you plan to donate?" Zhou Kui asked rhetorically.

Wan Wei did not answer positively, but asked Tian Hongyu: "Tian Gong, how much did you donate?" ”

Tian Hongyu said with a smile: "How dare I compete with the national abbot, I donate eight thousand taels." ”

Wan Wei and Wan Changzuo looked at each other and smiled, Wan Wei said: "This excuse is good, I saved two thousand." ”

"Father, how dare we compare with Guozhang and Tian Gong, we only donate five thousand taels."

Wan Changzuo stretched out his hand and made a "five" gesture.

Everyone looked up and laughed again.

Wu Weiying said: "Several of them are relatives of the emperor, and I dare not compare them with the hereditary marquis. I'll donate three thousand taels. ”

"Alas! The ministers did not dare to offend the emperor, even if they were unhappy to donate, they had to donate. ”

Wan Wei said with some emotion: "Who told us to share weal and woe with the imperial court." ”

"I can only hate those salt merchants, rice merchants, and cloth merchants in the south of the Yangtze River...... There is no heart for public loyalty. ”

Zhou Kui said indignantly: "The imperial court didn't ask them for money, but only asked us for money. Could it be that the rich people of the Ming Dynasty are only us, the nobles? ”

"Who's to say it isn't. And the princes, don't say anything else, just say how much does King Fu occupy? He can take out tens of millions of taels at will. Wu Weiying was also upset.

Wan Wei waved his hand and said, "Everyone is happy today, so don't talk about these annoying mundane things." ”

Everyone raised a glass and drank together.

At this time, the housekeeper in the house ran in a panic.

He whispered in Wan Changzuo's ear: "Ji Liao Wujing sent someone to the house, and the person was outside the door." ”

"What?" Wan Changzuo frowned slightly, the person who came was not good.

Wan Wei saw it and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Father." Wan Changzuo replied, "Yang Chengying sent someone to the house, and the person was at the door." ”

"Eighty percent are here to ask for money." Wan Wei was taken aback.

Zhou Kui was a little angry: "It's really unreasonable! Liaodong Town is already so rich, and it came to ask you for money. ”

Tian Hongyu and Wu Weiying expressed their indignation.

Zhou Kui borrowed the strength of the wine and came up with an idea: "Call Yang Chengying's people to drum in front of the gong and reprimand them well."

The emperor doesn't want to see him, Shanhaiguan is guarded by famous generals, who dares to do anything to you! ”

When Wan Wei heard them say this, he also lost his temper. Immediately ordered the servants to call the people from Liaodong here.

Last time, it was emptied.

It's only been a few years, and here we go again!

Li Guoying held his head high and followed the servants of Wanfu to the pavilion.

At first glance, everyone with a bad face knew that something was happening.

Wan Wei sat on the main seat and said to Li Guoying: "What is your position in the Liaodong Army?" ”

"Major of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the New Sixth Division of the Second Army of the Liaodong Army."

Li Guoying's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

Wan Wei didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from getting angry: "How can this be reasonable, Yang Chengying actually sent such a small character to you, is it deliberately bullying me?" ”

"I'm just dropping by." Li Guoying said, "Lord Yang, the governor of Xuanda, borrowed troops from Liaodong Town to settle Shanxi, and sent me to ask for money by the way. ”

"Asking for money? There are no doors! Wan Wei raised his eyebrows, "Go back and tell Yang Chengying that the old man can't get a penny out of his mansion." ”

Li Guoying listened to it, and only smiled faintly: "Are you sure?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wan Wei was a little timid.

"As I said, you bought the shares of the Chamber of Commerce, albeit in the name of the princess. There are also several lucky ships, although they are under the name of the second son, Wan Hongzuo......"

Li Guoying made the account clear.

Wan Wei became more and more unconfident: "Yang Chengying wants to threaten us with trade again." ”

"No, as I said, he won't cut off his financial path."

Li Guoying said: "He will write down the account, and sooner or later, he will collect it in person." At that time, don't blame him for not recognizing his six relatives. ”

Wan Wei and Wan Changzuo are like big roosters who have lost a fight, and they have completely lost their temper.

Zhou Kui saw that he had to find a place for his own people.

He slapped the table: "You are so bold to dare to talk to ten thousand horses like this." ”

"It turned out that he was the ruler of the dynasty, no wonder he was so arrogant."

Li Guoying said: "Part of your industry is in Suzhou, so you are naturally not afraid of economic strategy.

However, I have heard that you have a close relationship with the merchants of Ningbo, and if you suddenly encounter a pirate or something at sea, you will lose everything. ”

Zhou Kui was also so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Wu Weiying didn't dare to speak.

He had a close relationship with You Shihun, the general soldier of the Tianjin Guard, and was deeply involved in maritime trade.

There is only Tian Hongyu, whose strength is not as good as the previous three, and he has been pretending to be stupid, trying to get by.

"How much silver does Yang Cheng want?" Wan Wei finally compromised.

"Since several of them are here, let's contribute to the fight against Tartars in Liaodong together."

Li Guoying stretched out his hand and compared a number - five.

"Five hundred thousand!"

There was a sound of inhalation in the gazebo.

Li Guoying said with a smile: "120,000 per person, fair and kind." There are 20,000 left, please come out. ”

"That's too much, isn't it?" Wan Changzuo was anxious.

"It cost so much money to build a princess's mansion in your mansion, I don't care at all."

Li Guoying said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other, and in the end, they had to admit it.

Not to mention that he has to continue to do business with others, now that there are thieves everywhere in the world, it can also come in handy when the Liaodong Army is needed.

Li Chao did not pay the "protection fee" on time, and Yang Chengying worked hard to resist the Tartars several times.

This loss can only be eaten.
