The princes of the feudal kingdoms were indeed very rich.

Take Xu Jing as an example, when he came to the capital from Beihai County, the king of Beihai took out most of the family funds that he had accumulated for decades, and let Xu Jing bring them to the capital.

The same is true of the prince of the West River. has a lot of silver in his hand, privately befriending courtiers, and buying off eunuchs and the like in the palace.

A hundred thousand taels of silver, they can indeed take it.

Xu Jing immediately gave a thumbs up to the prince of Xihe: "My cousin is so generous and shares his worries for the prince, and the prince must remember the benefits of his cousin." ”

"Okay, I'll talk about it for my cousin. In the future, we will join the new army together and contribute to the crown prince. ”

The prince of Xihe was overjoyed and took the initiative to pour wine for Xu Jing, and the two brothers toasted happily.

Wang Shizi of Pingchang was envious, and raised his glass diligently: "Cousin Jing, I can also take out 100,000 taels of silver." Why don't you ask my cousin to talk to the prince for me? ”

The prince is gentle, yes, and he is not easy to talk to everyone. It is most suitable to have Xu Jing to pass on the message.

Wang Shizi of Hanyang immediately said that he could also come up with 100,000 taels of silver.

The frail and sickly prince of Pengcheng was a little hesitant and said in a low voice: "My body is not angry, and I am often sick. I'm afraid I can't go into the barracks. ”

Xu Jing said with a smile: "There are those who lead the troops and train the soldiers in the barracks, there are also quartermasters who take care of the heavy grain and grass, and there are also penal officers who are responsible for discipline in the army!" ”

You can't train soldiers, and you can get an errand in the new army!

The prince of Pengcheng immediately smiled and said, "I will prepare the silver when I go back, and I will bother you when the time comes." ”

The prince of Yingchuan had the most eyes, and seeing everyone scrambling to come up with the silver, he coughed and smiled and asked: "I, who is an elder brother, ask a lot of questions, I don't know how much silver Cousin Jing has made?" ”

All the princes of the vassal kingdoms looked at Xu Jing together.

Xu Jing was prepared, and responded with a smile: "I shouldn't have said it, but tonight has talked about this, so I'll show you the bottom." ”

"When I came to the capital, my father gave me all the family money he had accumulated for decades. This time, the prince's cousin wanted to build a new army, and I took 300,000 taels of silver. ”

All the princes of the vassal kingdoms gasped in unison.

No one suspected that Xu Jing was bragging. It's just something else, Xu Jing won't lie about such things.

300,000 taels!

This is by no means a small number.

Wang Shizi of Pengcheng couldn't help but whispered: "You have taken out all the silver in your hand!" In case the new army does not go well, or if something happens in the future, won't so much silver be given to the prince in vain? ”

Xu Jing waved his hand very arrogantly: "Money is something outside the body, life does not bring it to death, it has to be spent on the blade when it should be spent." ”

No wonder the prince is so good to Xu Jing! It can't be compared!

300,000 taels of silver blocked the mouths of the princes of the feudal lords. The people raised their glasses, and the drinkers drank, and no one mentioned the silver anymore.

Xu Jing didn't mean to persuade the prince of Yingchuan, but said: "Everyone is idle in the palace, and going to the new army to get an errand is regarded as a pastime." Cousin, you already have an errand in the Zongren Mansion, so this new army doesn't have to go. ”

The prince of Yingchuan immediately said: "The Zongren Mansion is very idle, I can just go and order a Mao occasionally." A lot of time on weekdays. Besides, the brothers all went to the new army, and I was the only one left behind, which was not interesting. I'll also give 100,000 taels! ”

Xu Jing persuaded: "Why do you bother. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small number, so why bother to take it out so plainly. Cousin, let's keep it for myself and spend it slowly! A few of us got together, and it was enough to build a barracks. ”

The prince of Yingchuan grabbed Xu Jing's hand and pleaded sincerely: "You must help me in this matter." In this way, I have fifty thousand taels more. A total of 150,000 taels. ”

Xu Jing nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I'll give it a try." Ugly words first, I don't dare to pack tickets for this matter. I can only go and talk to the prince. If the prince is willing to accept the money, he will not treat everyone badly in the future. ”

The princes of all the feudal lords breathed a sigh of relief, and toasted one by one, until the third watch, and then they left drunk.

……

The prince of Xihe wanted to enter the military camp the most eagerly, and he came to Xu Jing with a silver ticket in his arms early the next morning. As a result, there are two others who came before him!

Xu Jing stayed in the palace for a long time, and received 550,000 taels of silver tickets from the princes of the feudal domains. Then he happily went to the East Palace and put a thick stack of silver tickets in front of the prince.

Rao is prince is not greedy for money, and he was also shocked by this thick stack of silver tickets: "Why are there so many silver tickets!" ”

Xu Jing's eyebrows fluttered and he told the story of last night's banquet: "...... It wasn't that I forced them to give out the money, but they took it out and begged me to take it and send it to my cousin. ”

The prince laughed: "You are not afraid that they will come to their senses and settle accounts with you in the future." ”

In fact, Emperor Yongming had already sent a message to let several vassal princes join the new army on errands.

Xu Jing was bullying a few of them who didn't know, and deliberately used errands as bait. As a result, the big fish took the bait.

Xu Jing said with a smile: "If my cousin doesn't say this, I won't say it, how do they know." ”

"In the future, I will know that the money has been out, and I can't go back."

The prince was overjoyed in his heart, and counted the silver tickets with Xu Jing with great interest. One for two......

Wait a minute!

That's not right!

"Isn't it five hundred and fifty thousand taels?" The prince was surprised: "Why is there more than 300,000 taels?" ”

Xu Jing responded as a matter of course: "Didn't I tell my cousin before?" I gave 300,000 taels to build a military camp. ”

The prince immediately said, "This is too much. The treasury of the East Palace couldn't come up with that much silver. Hurry up and get it back. ”

No matter how rich Beihai County is, it can't help but toss like this. Xu Jingding took out all the old books at the bottom of the box.

Xu Jing held down the prince's hand: "If you want to build a new army, you will inevitably spend money." This is my heart, cousin, don't shirk it. ”

"My grumpy cousin knows. What is taken out will never be taken back. ”

The prince and Xu Jing looked at each other for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'm not polite to you." ”

Xu Jing grinned: "That's right, cousin just take it with peace of mind." Later, when my cousin is free, he will return it to me. ”

Say too much and you'll see the outside.

The prince didn't say anything, and said with great interest: "Let's go to the Jiaofang Hall again." ”

My mother's wool has to be picked.

Xu Jing nodded happily.

The two brothers went to the Jiaofang Hall with a smile and a smile.

As soon as he entered the Jiaofang Palace, the prince noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.

Queen Su had a calm face, and there was no smile in her eyes. The palace people trembled and did not dare to raise their heads.

"Queen Mother," the prince asked softly, "is there something wrong in the palace?" ”
