Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 393;

"really?"

Emperor Hongwen was also quite pleasantly surprised.

One hundred thousand stone more, this is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

Moreover, this move of the Luo family might bring about chain effects.

Just now, after he learned about the donations from various families, he was still thinking for a moment, how to get more benefits from the family.

The most direct one is that someone increases the number of donations, so that after seeing it, the other companies will inevitably be dissatisfied.

The chances of following the promotion will be greatly improved.

It's just how to make the first person who is willing to ascend appear?

Never thought, before he could think of a way, the Luo family had already taken action.

Really doze off and meet the pillow.

"How dare the old minister deceive His Majesty, the Luo family not only raised one hundred thousand stones this time, but also donated fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Hahaha, good thing, this is a good thing."

Hubu Shangshu was also overjoyed, and then said: "Your Majesty, take it easy, the old minister hasn't finished talking yet."

"Oh? Aiqing continued."

"There is also the Dong family. They have also increased the amount of donations, and donated another [-] stones plus [-] taels of silver."

"The Dong family has also been promoted?"

This surprised Emperor Hongwen.

Speaking of the smooth implementation of the Yang conspiracy this time, the Dong family has made great contributions, so Emperor Hongwen did not include the Dong family in the selection of candidates for the fleece.

After all, the man has already done a good job, and he also gave [-] shi, which is not a small amount.

But I never thought that they would add it at this time.

It seems that the ranking of the monument of merit and virtue makes several companies very fancy.

"Yes, it was Dong Xiang who personally approached the veteran to mention it."

"Okay, okay."

Emperor Hongwen nodded in satisfaction.

"What's more, the Wu family also added [-] shi of grain and [-] taels of silver."

Tsk tsk, it's only been a while, and the amount has basically doubled.

Well, it's really good, with these grains, the disasters in the north this winter will be safe and sound.

"What about the Han family?"

All three have added, and the Han family will not be far behind.

For Emperor Hongwen, it is better to have wool from the first three families, and it is acceptable without him, but the Han family is different.

The family displeased him.

However, what Shangshu Hubu said next made him even more upset.

All three families have added, even some medium-sized families and small families have added, but the Han family has not moved at all.

"I see, Ai Qing must record all the donations in detail, and announce it directly to the ministers tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

After Hubu Shangshu left, Emperor Hongwen smiled coldly.

"Since the Han family is reluctant, don't blame me."

"Bastards, these bastard idiots, the old man has never seen such stupid people."

The head of the Han family has been furious ever since he heard that all the families made additional donations, and he almost smashed everything in the room.

Two hundred thousand shi was already beyond the limit that the Han family could give out. In order to be the first, he even took out [-] taels.

Now that each family is adding more, his calculations will be lost in an instant.

It's not that he didn't think about adding more, but he just couldn't be reconciled.

Why should you give it to Emperor Hongwen for nothing?
In particular, Emperor Hongwen still has the Snowflake Salt in his hands, and he has already begun to sharpen his sword and is eager to attack the Han family.

At this time, what he wanted to see most was that Emperor Hongwen was in distress, but things backfired, and he had to use his own property to help Emperor Hongwen tide over the difficulties.

The previous amount was already a decision he made with gnashing of teeth, and his heart was pierced.

How can he be willing to continue to increase now?

In particular, the number is still quite a lot, and everyone else has almost doubled it. If he wants to suppress others, doubling is definitely not enough.

I can't bear it, I really can't bear it.

Chengyuan Villa.

Lu Yaoyao also paid close attention to this matter. For the addition of the three families, Lu Yaoyao was surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable.

Nowadays, no one in the Dongzhou court knows what Emperor Hongwen thinks about the aristocratic family.

This time's conspiracy, isn't it just a swing of a knife?

A wise person, like Dong Xiang, once he knows about it, can agree and take out one hundred thousand stones.

It's nothing more than wanting to let Emperor Hongwen accept his affection, so that when he treats Dong's family in the future, he will be more or less concerned.

Luo family and Wu family, although they are very passive this time, they are already like this, so they will naturally perform well.

Adding, although it will suffer, but it can be exchanged for something more or less, right?

As long as the merit monument is erected, their reputation in the Ming Dynasty will be improved. Isn't this a talisman for them?
As long as he doesn't risk his life, if Emperor Hongwen wants to move them, he must first consider how to block the mouth of the world.

So, it's already like this, why bother?
Losing a little more in exchange for a guarantee is not too bad a deal.

"Didn't the Han family add more?"

"No."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled.

"The end of the Han family is coming."

Sure enough, when the head of the Han family was still hesitating because of his reluctance, Emperor Hongwen simply didn't give him a chance.

In the early morning of the next day, Minister of the Household Department read the list of donations on the spot, but Emperor Hongwen didn't give the officials of the Han family a chance to respond.

Immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to prepare a stele of merit and virtue, and ranked them strictly according to the list given by the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

"Your Majesty, will this be too soon?"

Some ministers from the Han family reacted and immediately stood up.

As for the other best companies, the Han family was silent, they all knew about it.

He also knew that the head of the Han family was thinking about it, but he never expected that Emperor Hongwen's attack would be so ruthless that he would not give the head of the Han family a chance.

Once this monument of merit is erected, the things donated by the Han family will not only not bring fame to the Han family, but may also cause a lot of bad reputation.

Therefore, it must be stopped, and after the dynasty is dispersed, the head of the Han family must be added, otherwise once the merit monument is erected, the reputation of the Han family will plummet.

"Shangshu Hubu, can we have enough food for disaster relief now?"

"Reporting to His Majesty is far enough."

Yesterday, they received more than one million shi of grain and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

The snow disaster in the north this time is really not very serious. If it were in previous years, it would not embarrass the court at all. It is just because of the severe drought this year that many places there have no crops.

Now with this million stones of grain, it is completely enough to get through this difficult period.

"Ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the benevolent people who participated in this donation, I am very grateful, but I am not a greedy person."

"Everyone is having a hard time this year. Since there is already enough food, why continue?"

"Moreover, the people in the capital have already known about this donation, and they must all be looking forward to paying respects to our Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Dongzhou and all the benevolent people. This stele of merit must be erected as soon as possible."

As soon as he said this, Wen Songtao immediately shouted, Your Majesty is wise.

One took the lead, and many officials below who had nothing to do with themselves followed suit.

The officials of the Han family wanted to talk again, but unfortunately they had no chance.
