wear it lord god
Chapter 2315 Guangmen Lintel 116
Seeing these fat and thin beautiful girls crying miserably, Defu became very angry.
If you are greedy, be greedy. It is well known that eunuchs love money. They have no children and only yellow and white things around them. But what kind of private house do you have, and what do these shared rooms mean? You serve the master in the palace, and when you only have one or two opportunities to leave the palace every month, you run out of the palace and become your own master? That is transgression, that is treason.
It's time for the court meeting every five days again, and the atmosphere of this court meeting is different.
First, the money obtained by the two people who were confiscated was announced, then their charges were announced, and finally the results were announced.
The property was naturally confiscated. As for the people, because the new emperor did not want to start a big war, the two of them were fined and sent to the army, and all other related people were sold into slavery.
Two families copied it, and the treasury was filled with five to six hundred thousand taels and thousands of acres of farmland. This does not include the money for selling off the hundreds of people in their family, both master and servants.
Zhao Kang said meaningfully: "Now the Ministry of Industry has the money to repair the river embankment, but there is another discount. If the late emperor's mausoleum is to be completed on time, it needs to be rushed and an additional two hundred thousand taels will be added. The Ministry of War has reported that the soldiers' weapons have been used for many years. Some of the long-haired heads have not been replaced, and have been worn down to only one thorn. It requires 300,000 taels to make new spearheads, purchase a batch of war horses, and strengthen the border city walls... The money to build the river embankment has just been obtained. I want money again, what should I do?"
Instead of copying several companies, there is no need to copy several companies. Maybe one company is enough.
Just after the two houses were raided, even the second-in-command in the palace was extremely rich, with numerous houses, a poor temple and a rich abbot. Now that the new emperor is in a hurry, there is no guarantee that the next family will be unlucky for him.
Thinking of what the little miracle doctor said when he entered the house, Wu Deyong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, made up his mind. He took a step forward, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to offer five hundred thousand taels of silver to show my loyalty. I hope it can solve your urgent need. .”
The five hundred thousand taels were in the private treasury and the bank. Since it had been made clear that the new emperor knew about this money, it was better to take it out. Compared with five hundred thousand taels of silver, the future and life of the whole family are more important. Look at the two families that were raided. They really lost both their people and money, and I was even exiled from the army.
Without money, the family still has real estate, fields, and shops. Once the rent is collected and the food for the coming year is collected, there will still be thirty to fifty thousand taels.
Hearing this, Zhao Kang suddenly became happy, Xi Ning's tricks were better. This girl has analyzed the pros and cons for him, and if she suppresses him blindly, it will only be counterproductive.
There once was a corrupt official. The late emperor was extremely powerful and wealthy, but he was confiscated by the new emperor. He died in prison and money equivalent to 15 years of the treasury was copied. As soon as this official falls, the new emperor will be full. But soon after, various problems began to arise. The reason was that the entire country was rotten to the core, and removing the biggest rotten bone at once caused the entire operation to become imbalanced. People can still survive for a while, but once they die, other corrupt officials will take over, and nothing good can be done.
There was also an emperor who hated corrupt officials and issued an edict: Anyone who obeys orders and is cruel will be allowed to report to the capital. If the stolen goods amount to more than sixty taels, they will show their heads to the public and still peel off the skins and harvest the grass. As a result, it was not uncommon to see human skins stuffed with straw in front of the government offices, but there were still countless corrupt officials.
The tighter you hold the sand in your hands, the faster it drains away. The way to be a king is to be relaxed and moderate, and to give both kindness and power.
Although Zhao Kang didn't know who these two emperors were, and there was no record of them in the history books, Xi Ning's words made sense. Put all the corrupt officials in jail and ransack their homes, and there will be no one left in the court.
Zhao Kang pretended to be embarrassed: "The treasury is empty, but Wu Aiqing is spending money. It is really inappropriate. How could this happen?" If you don't take it out, people will be sent to raid your house tomorrow. There may be several million taels.
Wu Shangshu couldn't bear to give it up, so he gave it up and said with a righteous face: "I am protected by the emperor's favor, and I am an old minister who is good at taking care of things, so I can earn this family fortune. It is the duty of an old minister to share worries with you. Hope. Your Majesty, don't refuse, otherwise I will lose face in the court." Just like when you get money, you push it back and forth, saying "how to do it, how to do it". In fact, everyone knows that it is a routine, so just accept it.
Zhao Kang, who had shown off his skills, finally agreed: "In this case, I will not refute Aiqing's face and reluctantly accept it. I would like to thank Wu Aiqing on behalf of the late emperor and the border officers."
Wu Shangshu quickly kowtowed: "I dare not, this is what I should do."
Zhao Kang issued an edict: "Wu Deyong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is diligent and thrifty, and his wife manages the family well. It is appropriate to upgrade the Wu Jiang clan from the fourth rank to the third rank." If you get the benefits, you must reward something, and one will be promoted from the third rank. A royal decree is not worth five hundred thousand pieces of snowflake silver.
Xi Ning said that some officials bought and sold their posts, and Gongsheng bought a fourth-grade candidate for a sinecure position for only 20,000 taels. He also said that the current prices are still relatively strong.
Thinking of Xi Ning, Zhao Kang couldn't help but smile. This girl had guessed everything.
Wu Shangshu kowtowed and thanked him. Five hundred thousand taels of silver is gone. It's a lie that he doesn't feel bad, but he has saved his face and his life. It is considered a matter of honoring one's ancestors if one's wife obtains a higher-grade imperial edict.
I just wish I hadn't taken it out earlier. If I had given him the money a few days earlier, before the other two families ransacked his house, I wouldn't have given him a title. It seems that if something happens in the future, I will have to ask a little miracle doctor to diagnose my pulse. This thousand taels of diagnosis money is not a waste of time.
There were several people who asked the little miracle doctor to check their pulse, and they looked at them with complicated eyes of envy and jealousy. You must know that they gave the money first, and now Wu Shangshu's five hundred thousand taels are given. If they don't come up with more money, they will never fall in the favor of the new emperor. The only way to show your loyalty is to show off your loyalty after you return. There may be no substantial benefit other than a word of praise.
After going to court, Zhe Zhizhi, who asked for money to replenish the treasury, flew into the palace like snowflakes. Zhao Kang did the math, and after adding in what Wu Shangshu had given him before, it turned out to be one million taels. The national treasury suddenly became much richer, which relieved the urgent need.
Of course, these ministers all have praises. Xi Ning has secretly made a batch of iron plates with inner iron and gilded outer parts by the craftsmen in the palace. They say they are iron scrolls for absolutism. During their lifetime, they can take the iron scrolls into the palace to plead for mercy, and get rid of the wrath of heaven and people. Major crimes and capital crimes can be commuted to exile; serious crimes can be commuted to dismissal from office and demoted to common people. Anyone given more than 100,000 taels will receive one piece. Those with a value of less than 100,000 yuan can be enshrined in their respective ancestral halls.
I really don’t know how this girl can have so many fancy things. She only got hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for just a few gilt iron signs and brocade cloth with names written in fancy colors.
I also received a note from Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, saying that the youngest daughter in the family unfortunately contracted smallpox and could no longer consummate the marriage, so he requested an order to cancel the engagement.
Even if you don't die from smallpox, you will inevitably have pockmarks or holes on your face in the future. A queen, the mother of the world, but her bumpy face is full of pockmarks that cannot be covered by gouache, and she is not generous enough to make people laugh.
Zhao Kang first asked the palace physician to go to two doctors, who came back and said the diagnosis was smallpox. Then he ordered to cancel the marriage, and appointed Chen Da as the supervisor of the Ministry of Labor, ranking third rank. He also rewarded the young lady of the Chen family with a happy couple.
Unexpectedly, the marriage was canceled and the new emperor did not blame him. He also gave him a half-level official position. His daughter got what he wanted, which was clearly a blessing from the new emperor. Although there would be some obstacles in the future marriage, it was no longer worthy of an ordinary family, let alone a small child. The miracle doctor indicated that the Holy Father could grant marriage in the future. Master Chen, who was kneeling on the ground to listen to the order, was so happy that he quickly thanked him.
And Zhao Kang also got benefits. Not only did he get rid of a marriage, but he also got a supervisor. For the future of his daughter and the family, Mr. Chen will definitely work hard and report everything.
