Chapter 45: How Much Are You Prepared to Contribute to Disaster Relief?

When it started.

When I heard Li Anmin say that he wanted to pay for disaster relief by himself.

Some of the ministers in the venue even thought of the words to sing praises to Li Anmin.

Who would have thought that in the end, Li Anmin actually gave them a reversal and asked them to follow Li Anmin to contribute money for disaster relief.

And seeing that no one replied for a long time after his words were spoken, Li Anmin frowned.

"How?"

"Do you think my proposal is inappropriate?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, but still no one dares to speak first.

The matter of sending out the disaster relief food money is clearly throwing money into it for nothing.

They don't have a lot of money to spend, who would be willing to spend so much money to play?

And when he saw that the people did not speak.

Li Anmin turned his head and looked at Fang Muduan: "Fang Qing, how much money are you going to give to Shannan Province for disaster relief?" ”

Hear this.

Fang Muduan trembled, and secretly complained in his heart.

Li Anmin's words are too level.

He didn't ask Fang Muduan if he was willing, but directly asked Fang Muduan how much money he wanted.

If he can't say it, it is against the will of God.

If he comes out, then he will be a head start for the officials in the court, and he will inevitably become a public enemy of the Manchu Dynasty in the future.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as he speaks, Zhu Bajie is not a person inside and outside the mirror.

After several trade-offs.

Fang Muduan stepped out of the queue and arched his hand: "The minister is from the grassroots, and his family resources are not rich. ”

"Hmm."

"It's quite a lot."

Li Anmin nodded with satisfaction, and turned to look at Shangguan Yuanji: "Yuanji, what about you?" ”

"The minister can also contribute 10,000 taels of silver to share the worries of His Majesty."

Shangguan Yuanji was originally a close friend of Li Anmin, so he naturally wanted to stand on Li Anmin's side.

Besides, Fang Muduan had already expressed his position, if he sang the opposite.

That is even more embarrassing than Fang Muduan's direct rejection of Li Anmin.

At last.

Li Anmin's eyes were locked on Cheng Jinzhong's body.

And this time there is no need for Li Anmin to speak.

Cheng Jinzhong took the initiative to stand up and said, "The minister is willing to give 10,000 taels of silver to share your majesty's worries!" ”

"Ten thousand?"

Li Anmin narrowed his eyes and said, "It's okay for others to pay 10,000 taels, but you Cheng Jinzhong give 10,000, it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Shangguan Yuanji and Fang Muduan are both from the grassroots and have no foundation.

But Cheng Jinzhong is different, his family was originally a nobleman, and he has a whole street of assets in Shangjing.

Sitting on such a large asset but only taking out 10,000 taels of silver for disaster relief?

Isn't this a joke with him Li Anmin?

Cheng Jinzhong was embarrassed on the spot, and then changed his words: "The minister is willing to give 30,000 taels of silver to share the worries of His Majesty!" ”

When he said the words 30,000 taels, Cheng Jinzhong only felt that his heart was dripping blood.

Money.

It was all white flowers.

And today, the silver will be lost with his words.

Li Anmin was very satisfied, nodded and said, "The three of you, don't lose my big shares." ”、

Immediately, he swept the faces of the ministers with a sharp gaze.

"Now there are people who have set an example for everyone."

Li Anmin said in a deep voice: "You Aiqing should also know what to do, right?" ”

If they get to this point, they don't understand what's going on.

These people in that field are really not worthy of standing in this court as officials.

An official from the household department took the lead in standing up: "The minister is willing to give 5,000 taels to share your majesty's worries." ”

"The minister is willing to contribute 3,000 taels ......"

"The minister is willing to contribute 4,000 taels ......"

The voices of the ministers in the venue who said they wanted to contribute money became one for a while.

Of course.

Naturally, there are so many iron-headed babies who are unwilling to contribute.

And the representative of this is Tang Lin, the secretary of the ministry.

Tang Lin held his head high and held his chest high, and said loudly towards Li Anmin: "The minister's family has no money, so he can't contribute!" ”

As soon as this statement came out.

The eyes of everyone in the audience were on him.

The official salary of the great cadres is not low, and a county order has nearly two hundred taels of silver every year.

This is not to mention the official to the third grade.

Every year, there are more than 2,000 taels of silver just for Yulu, how can his family have no money?

The smile on Li Anmin's face gradually stiffened.

"If you don't have any money, you can give less."

"It doesn't matter if you give two or three hundred taels of silver, at least it's a meaning."

Li Anmin's words.

It's nothing more than finding steps for Tang Lin.

After all, this matter was brought up by him Li Anmin.

If Tang Lin didn't pay a penny, then where should he put Li Anmin's imperial face?

However, Tang Lin didn't eat this at all, and said straightforwardly: "The minister has no money." ”

This time.

The smile on Li Anmin's face disappeared completely.

This man really doesn't give him face......

didn't wait for Li Anmin to speak.

Tang Lin said righteously: "The minister thinks that the disaster in Shannan Province is a state affair. ”

"Since it is a state affair, the imperial court should fund the disaster relief."

"Your Majesty asked me and other courtiers to fund disaster relief, which is not in line with the law, let alone the law."

"Therefore, even if the minister has money, the minister will not contribute ......"

As soon as this statement came out.

Li Anmin not only lost the smile on his face, but his whole person became gloomy.

"Lord Tang."

"Don't you know what's going on in Tobe?"

If the household has money.

How could he have made such a decision to pluck wool on the minister?

If the household has money.

How could he take money out of his vault, and who doesn't know that silver is a good thing?

Especially her last sentence.

That really aroused the anger that Li Anmin had been pressing in his heart.

If you have money, you won't contribute.

He didn't think of himself as a big man?

Or did he not treat the people living in dire straits as human beings at all?

But Tang Lin's expression was still extremely indifferent.

"The household department has no money, and His Majesty can draw it from elsewhere."

"For example, there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the border at the moment, and only a few soldiers and horses need to be cut off, which is enough for disaster relief."

As soon as this statement came out.

Li Anmin's face turned green.

"Tang Lin!"

Li Anmin shouted: "This kind of thing can also be said by a member of the third rank of your court?" ”

"Don't you know how dangerous the situation in the north is?"

"Have you forgotten how the barbarians of the north burned and plundered me across the border four years ago?"

"Disarmament at this moment, do you plan to completely destroy my Great Qianjun Dynasty in the hands of a group of barbarians?"

Li Anmin has the heart to kill people at this moment.

Fang Muduan had said something similar to him before.

But Fang Muduan just wanted to mobilize military rations for temporary disaster relief.

But this thing went so far as to say that it was going to be disarmed and disaster relief.

Is he not brained, or does he think that he, the emperor, does not have brains?

Tang Lin closed his mouth tightly and said: "These ministers know that the ministers are just erected, and as for the funding for disaster relief, the ministers really can't come up with the money." ”

"If Your Majesty wants the minister's money, then please ask Your Majesty to order the minister's house to be raided......"

Moral kidnapping.

This is proper moral kidnapping.

If Li Anmin raids his house because of this, both the people and the officialdom will inevitably explode.

The emperor, in order to rob the courtiers of the money, turned out to be no longer a matter of receiving a few scoldings.

Li Anmin's hair was all open, and his chest rose and fell violently.

But just a moment later, Li Anmin suddenly looked up and smiled.

"If someone says they don't have any money, I might believe it."

"But you Lord Tang said that you don't have any money, I really don't believe it at all."

Li Anmin narrowed his eyes, looked at Tang Lin and said, "I heard that you, Lord Tang, have to drink a bottle of wine worth two hundred taels every day......
