Chapter 964 Is it bad to be greedy for money (for all monthly passes)
Li Baiyu took a sneak peek at the stunned Young Master Liu, who smacked his lips helplessly, another victim of his father!
Unexpectedly, Gouzi. The father has changed, and he has become yelling at himself every day. Now seeing his extremely favored brother-in-law has become a victim of the father, Li Baiyu finally feels much more comfortable.

Typical schadenfreude.

"Father, my son is even poorer, you don't know, my son is so poor that he almost took his official robes to the pawnshop and let Yan'er pawn them for money!"

Young Master Liu suddenly burst into tears, but not a single tear fell.

Caught off guard, Li Zheng and the crown prince were taken aback, and they looked at Young Master Liu, who was looking sad and mournful, with an unnatural expression on his face.

The corners of Li Zheng's eyes twitched, Young Master Liu was ashamed of himself!

Li Baiyu's vermilion brush flickered, looking at the ink stains on the memorial, his face was a little gloomy.

Grandma, who did this prince provoke!It's all against me, isn't it? This memorial will be distributed the day after tomorrow. What should I do with such a large ink blot?
"Father and the others must have seen it before. The method of casting cannons is what I learned from them!"

"However, this is the first time I've heard the words of Jihe and the others, and I'm skeptical, thinking how could there be such a powerful thing in the world!"

"But I know that if you want to find out the result, you have to do it yourself. In order to cast these fifty cannons and the required ammunition, it would be bankrupt. You almost sold your sons and daughters!"

"The coal share was completely spent, and the family property that my father let me set up my own family was completely consumed. My son's salary was barely enough to support the family. In desperation, my son had no choice but to borrow it from Zhu Run, the Marquis of Guannei. I paid 600 million taels of silver to continue my research!"

"This is all the money I borrowed with the audacity to go all out. My son seems to be in a good position, but who knows that I owe 600 million taels of silver!"

"My son's wife, Liu's Qi Yun, has not been willing to use rouge and gouache for a whole year. Fuzhengping's wife, Liu's Li Yan, has to throw away her daughter's face and go to the mother's place to beg for some clothes to wear in order to relieve the son's pressure!"

"My son's concubine, Qinglian, and the others dare not go out for a stroll, for fear that their shoes will wear out and burden my son!"

"Several children are waiting to be fed and can only eat porridge and water. The nanny is not willing to spend money to hire one to increase their nutrition! These children are so hungry that they are sallow and emaciated!"

First Young Master Liu raised his sleeves: "Father's dragon robe still has patches available! My minister's clothes are not even willing to use patches, just to save two pieces of cloth for the children to use as diapers!"

"When I didn't set up my own family, I kept pretending to be poor. Now that I have set up my own family, my son has a showdown, and I don't pretend anymore. My son is really poor. You don't even need to pretend to be able to tell at a glance!"

"Father and emperor are poor and still have treasury subsidies to spend, but sons and ministers are poor and have no one to support them!"

"It took 3000 million silver to cast fifty cannons and several thousand rounds of shells. I dare not report it without on-the-spot inspection. I am afraid that my colleagues in the court will accuse me of whimsical rumors to deceive the public and confuse the emperor's heart!"

"We can only take advantage of the opportunity of the Western Expedition to test the power of the artillery, but once the cannon is fired, it is worth ten thousand taels of gold, and the shells consumed during the Western Expedition alone cost as much as 300 million taels of snowflakes of silver!"

"This son is using all his family property to serve the father! Just thinking about taking some time to ask the father to reimburse the son's expenses to subsidize the family, the father actually has his eyes on the son's artillery again, and wants to prostitute for nothing I can't take the money!"

"If it wasn't for my mother's love for Erchen, she secretly gave some silver that she had accumulated, which was 120, three taels, seven coins and six copper coins. Erchen remembers it clearly. If it wasn't for my mother's deep love for her son, Erchen would have taken it with her. The whole family went to beg for a living."

"Thinking that this son-in-law will still be relying on his mother's financial support in his [-]s, this son-in-law is so ashamed, what face does he have to meet the ancestors of the Liu family!"

"Oh my god, is there any reason in this world?"

This time it was Li Baiyu who was dumbfounded, and Li Zheng's face twitched.

Li Zheng and his father were stunned to hear the words of young master Liu's non-stop complaining.

Li Zheng swallowed his saliva and looked at Young Master Liu who looked miserable, is it so miserable?

A Shu brocade woven jacket worth 300 taels, a pleated skirt with emerald green clouds worth about 100 taels of silver, cloud shoes with golden threads on the feet, a snow-white cloak of clouded leopard skin, and a jasper inlaid gold hairpin on his head.

This attire is at least worth a thousand taels of silver, which is more than enough.

The dresses of the three princesses when they entered the palace flashed in Li Zheng's mind one by one.

Li Zheng's face was a little crimson. If it wasn't for Yan'er who just entered the palace and I saw clearly his meowing, I would have believed your evil!
Dressing up is enough for the expenses of ordinary people's family for nearly ten years, you and I are crying poor, I'm afraid you are not fooling me for a fool!
Even if you have no money, your concubine may not be able to afford a few rooms less.

Li Zheng rubbed his forehead with a dark face.

"Come on, don't pretend to be poor, and I won't complain, open the skylight and speak honestly, I won't force you, but don't bully me, you and my son-in-law, give me a good time, how can you get firepower Support Wu Guogong's Northern Expedition, the silver point is no problem, but don't talk too much!"

"Fifty cannons cost 200 million taels. I don't have shells now. Before going out, I'll give you 300 million taels. This is an honest price given by my son-in-law for the sake of being both a monarch and a minister!"

"Your fucking cannons are made of pure gold. The cannon shells and shells together cost half of the national treasury's tax revenue. You dare to ask for 500 million silver for something made of iron lumps. Pure gold is not worth the price!"

Li Zheng suddenly stood up and looked at First Young Master Liu furiously!
"Father, there is no such thing. What I give you is an honest price. You can't let me take the money spent on researching artillery, right? You can't really let me go bankrupt if you work hard for the dragon, right? Guan Neihou There is still a foreign debt of 600 million taels of silver over there, if the emperor doesn't believe me, I will immediately fetch the account book!"

"Then where did you ask me to get the fucking 500 million taels of silver? I'll sell the palace!"

The dignity of the emperor and the face of the royal family were all forgotten by Li Zheng, and his mouth was full of fragrance when he came up.

The emperor's face is worthless in front of 500 million taels of silver.

As long as you don't talk about money, it's not a problem for you to let me pretend to be non-human.

When it comes to money, I recognize myself as a rascal.

"It's not enough to sell the palace. Even if the cannons cost at least 500 million taels, the father and emperor can't let the sons pay for the cannonballs. When the cannons are fired, the gold is ten thousand taels, and the cannons are all silver, not sons." I blew it out with my mouth!"

"Without money, the national treasury is only 400 million taels, and the tax money for several years has not been confiscated, and Bei Zheng still needs to consume a lot of money. Where can I get money for you!"

Young Master Liu closed his eyes and muttered for a while, looking at Li Zheng quietly.

"Father, at least the treasury needs to have 900 million taels of silver!"

"How do you know."

Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu helplessly, and he was so confused, Liu Mingzhi was the left servant of the household department, and he knew more about the money in the treasury than the emperor himself!

"You have to leave some emergency silver for the national treasury! Once the war starts, you know how much the soldiers' salaries will cost you better than anyone else, and there is not much money left!"

Young Master Liu looked at Li Zheng shyly: "Father, the share of the coal business in the past few years, at least 200 million taels of silver!"

"Shit, there are only more than 800 left. What do you mean, Liu Mingzhi, you bastard, you are not afraid of being punished by the gods. You even miss the coffin of your father-in-law and Laozi. Do you want my corpse to be exposed to the wilderness after a hundred years?"

"Long live the father, long live, long live!"

"Don't bullshit me! If I can really live forever, I won't be in a hurry to go to the West, go to the North, and I will kill them! Besides, the internal treasury is my private money, it doesn't make sense Use my private money to subsidize the national treasury! I will be in my forties this year, and I won’t be alive for a few years. You are not so shameless as to take my coffin. You are my son-in-law. Is it not enough kindness to be your Fuzhengping wife?"

"Father, we have to talk about our relationship and talk about it!"

"In the past, when you went to the south of the Yangtze River in vain, how much money was saved for the court by the imperial court, how much money was saved by the horseshoe, how much money was lost by the telescope for scout training, and how much money was transferred from the border crossing. The coal business was a success. Boxes of silver bills are sent to the palace, they are silver bills, didn't my son say anything!"

Li Zheng took a few deep breaths: "Forget it, let's assume that my coffin can't be held down any longer, so I don't cover the coffin, and I will give Liu Chengfeng 300 million taels, and Liu Yiyi and sisters will be upgraded to one level in exchange for your fifty." A cannon with enough shells!"

"500 million taels don't need a title!"

"Get out of here!"

"My son studied the consumption of artillery before?"

"I will write you a note, and I will return it to you when the treasury tax comes up!"

"Your Highness, borrow a brush!"

Young Master Liu took a piece of rice paper and a brush and lay down in front of Li Zheng's dragon case with his face on his face.

"Father, I'm sorry!"

Li Zheng looked at First Young Master Liu with a darkened face: "Are you really writing? I have a golden mouth!"

Liu Mingzhi's face turned bitter: "Isn't Father planning to renege on his debts?"

Li Zheng snorted and took Liu Mingzhi's brush with a gloomy face.

"I write, you will hold silver for the rest of your life in the future, be careful that you will be crushed to death!"

"Don't talk about crushing to death, I would be happy to crush my son to death!"

The brush flying was accomplished overnight, and Li Zheng reluctantly threw the rice paper to Liu Mingzhi.

"get out!"

Liu Mingzhi inspected it carefully and nodded in satisfaction, then spread the rice paper in front of Li Zheng again.

"Father, seal!"

"you"

"Father, emperor and son, life is suffering!"

"Can't I cover it? Liu Mingzhi, believe it or not, besides you, anyone else who dares to bargain with me like this would be three or five feet high and sway in the wind!"

"My son-in-law, it's not like we, Weng and son-in-law, are deeply in love with each other!"

Liu Mingzhi's eyes were on the IOU, and he didn't want to take it away. The cost of researching the artillery by himself was considered a return!
"My son retire!"

"Go away, by the way, put the Donghai Bai Nuanyu worth 2 taels of silver at home before you cry poor next time, don't take me for a fool, ha!"

"Forehead"

Liu Mingzhi scratched his head resentfully: "Royal Father, this was given to me by my father before he established his own family, and I will return it to him after my son returns. A dignified man of seven feet must stand on his own feet!"

"Yes! Ambitious, Yan'er will also change into a maid's costume before returning to the palace next time! If you are poor, you will wear Shu brocade, and I want to be so poor, you know?"

"Yes, yes, my son promises to pay attention! About the 300 million taels of silver notes?"

"Old Zhou, take him to the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and give him a silver note of 300 million taels. I don't want to see him!"

"Follow the order!"

The head manager held his whisk and walked towards First Young Master Liu with a strange expression on his face.

"My son-in-law, come with us!"

"Father, my son and minister are resigning, and there is a labor chief!"

After a long time, Li Baiyu put down the ink pen in his hand and walked in front of Li Zheng hesitantly: "Father, brother-in-law."

"The disaster relief in Qingzhou, the suppression of bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, and the military exploits of the countries in the Western Regions are never mentioned, only money."

"Father means..."

Li Zheng suddenly laughed, and patted Li Baiyu's shoulder meaningfully.

"Isn't it good to be greedy for money? I'm going to your mother's place, so keep busy!"

The prince looked at his father's back and nodded clearly!
