Chapter 44: Two hundred thousand taels VS eighty million taels
Hearing Zhu Biao speak, after someone praised him, Han Cheng said:
"Prince, these guys calculated well, but unfortunately, they didn't get any good results.
Or rather, that's their best ending. ”
As soon as Han Cheng said this, Zhu Yuanzhang took a reassuring pill.
However, Emperor Hongwu was also a strong person, so he didn't turn his head back and listen to Han Cheng's story.
Still stubbornly twisted to the side.
It seems that he doesn't care about Han Cheng's narration.
Regarding Lao Zhu's performance, Han Chengcheng smiled secretly in his eyes and didn't say anything.
After Li Zicheng entered the capital, many ministers surrendered.
They all began to meet the king.
However, Li Zicheng, who broke the Jingshi, also faced a problem.
It is also a lack of money and food.
He had too many armies to feed.
Coupled with the slogans shouted before, such as not being bad, not paying food, etc., Li Zicheng's life is not easy.
There is a big gap in money and food.
What to do?
Of course, it was borrowed from these wealthy officials of the Ming Jingshi, and the rich households.
Like Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng also quickly issued an announcement advocating these people to donate money.
And gave a standard, the cabinet of scholars 100,000 taels, squires, and various books, more than 3 to 50,000 taels.
As soon as such a notice came out, these officials who were happy to welcome the king were immediately stunned.
Didn't you say that King Chuang didn't pay for food when he came?
Why now, let donate money again?
In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor asked to donate money, and now that the king is here, or let him donate money, isn't this king coming in vain?
These officials immediately quit.
They changed their faces and followed the king, in order to enjoy happiness and keep wealth, not to donate money abroad.
What should we do in the face of such a situation?
These people have a lot of experience.
After all, not long ago, they had dealt with Emperor Chongzhen.
So, these people began to cry out collectively again, and then took out a little money to cope with the errand.
In their opinion, this is a foolproof thing to do.
Emperor Chongzhen, the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was dealt with by them in this way, not to mention a mere King Li Chuang!
And then the guys overturned.
Li Zicheng got this small amount of pitiful money, and he was immediately furious, feeling that these people were humiliating him!
If the text fails, it will be directly used.
A vigorous torture operation began.
Directly grabbed these guys, dipped the leather whip in salt water, beat them to death, burned, and broke their legs.
Torture ......"
"Good! Good! Good !!"
Before, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been twisting his head to the side, finally couldn't help it.
also forgot to be angry with Han Cheng.
He turned his head violently, clapped his hands vigorously, and applauded loudly.
Excited.
"Well played! Kill these bitches!!
This Li Zicheng has done a good thing! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang praised Li Zicheng in a rare voice.
It can be seen from this that Zhu Yuanzhang hated those corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty.
Although the crown prince Zhu Biao did not speak, it could be seen from the change in his expression that he also felt extremely relieved for such a result.
Han Cheng smiled and stood here, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to vent some of his emotional agitation, then he continued:
"Do you know how much money Li Zicheng made this torture?"
Through the previous conversation, Zhu Biao already knew some of Han Cheng's problems.
Knowing that when he said this, someone needed to pick it up, otherwise, he wouldn't go on.
His father's temper naturally wouldn't do such a thing.
So, it had to fall on him.
"Ten million taels?"
Zhu Biao opened his mouth very interestingly, and gave an amount that he thought was very large.
Now, Daming is short of money, and money is very valuable.
In addition, when his descendants, Emperor Chongzhen, raised donations, it was easy to say that they only raised 200,000 taels of silver.
Therefore, Zhu Biao felt that this 10 million taels would be a lot.
Again, he said it as big as he could.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang on the side did not speak, he also made a certain assessment of this in his heart.
The psychological expectations he came up with were similar to what Zhu Biao said.
It's all around 10 million taels.
After Zhu Biao said this number, the two couldn't help but look at Han Cheng.
As a result, Han Cheng shook his head.
"What? Am I talking too much? ”
Zhu Biao said subconsciously.
He also felt that the number of 10 million taels was too big.
"That'...... Five million taels? ”
Zhu Biao directly halved the number.
Han Cheng shook his head again.
Seeing that Zhu Biao still wanted to open his mouth and continue to reduce the number, Han Cheng didn't let Zhu Biao guess.
He was worried that the more Zhu Biao guessed, the less he would guess.
At that moment, he stretched out his finger at Zhu Biao and compared it to an eight.
"Eight million taels?"
When Zhu Biao said this number, his heart shook.
These guys are really rich!
There are so many greeds!!
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but clench his fists secretly, thinking that these guys were really damned!
How many people have to be harmed, and how many holes have been drilled in Da Ming to embezzle so much money!
After Han Cheng heard what Zhu Biao said, he shook his head secretly, although the father and son of Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are not simple, but in terms of money and corrupt officials, they are still not bold enough, and their hearts are not big enough.
I underestimated those corrupt officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
It's only eight million taels, who is this looking down on?
This seriously underestimated the business ability of these corrupt officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"No, it's nearly eighty million taels."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu, who were indignant there, were stunned.
"Shhh
"Hiss~!"
After being quiet for a while, the sound of snorting air sounded one after another in the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's father and son were all shocked by the number that Han Cheng said!
I thought that when they said the figure of 10 million taels, they were already as big as possible, and they felt that this number was outrageous enough.
Who would have thought that it was so far away!
These guys have made so much money!
"These people are very rich, not to mention the rest, just Chongzhen's abbot Zhou Kui, this person who faced the emperor's son-in-law crying poor and buckled the rope, was directly copied out of more than 500,000 silver, as well as jewelry worth more than 20,000 taels......"
Han Cheng's voice continued to sound, and Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became heavy again.
These thieves, damn it!
It's really damn it!
The descendants of their own emperor, begging them, they only took out 200,000 taels, and when they waited until the thief, they directly copied out 80 million taels!
That's a big gap!
What a bunch of killers, moths!
While he felt extremely angry, he also felt that Li Zicheng was not accustomed to the way of doing things of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which was very much in line with his heart.
Should!
These guys deserve it!
"So, this is the person who replaced our Ming Dynasty and built a new dynasty, is this Li Zicheng?"
After calming down, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked......
