Daxia Wensheng

Chapter 213 Manchurian civil and military donated 10 taels?Master Wang and I donated 2000 million taels!Showdown!
Daxia Palace.

Hundreds of officials gathered here.

Waiting for the opening of the Chaohui as usual.

At this moment.

Basically all officials are present.

Only the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of Rites did not come.

These officials have more or less heard about what happened yesterday.

For a while, all the officials couldn't help talking about this matter.

"The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rituals don't know where the money came from. Yesterday, the Ministry of Industry booked all the restaurants in the inner circle of the capital, and the Ministry of Rites hired the Jiaofang Division."

"What is this? I heard yesterday that Wen Bao Zhai was sold out overnight, and the Ministry of Rites lost several hundred thousand taels of silver."

"How many 10 taels of silver? Is it real or fake?"

"I don't believe it."

"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry allocate only 50 taels of silver each year. Why do they suddenly have so much silver?"

Everyone was curious, with doubts in their eyes.

In addition to the official appropriations, the six departments actually don't have much annual activity funds, so everyone is poor. Now I see the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, two of which are originally Qingshui Yamen, and now they suddenly become arrogant, which is really impressive. I have to be suspicious.

"Could it be some kind of money?"

Some people speculate that there may be some unclean things in it.

"impossible."

"Dare to spend money so blatantly, how can there be uncleanness."

"After thinking about it, it should be that Daxia Everbright City made some money."

An official spoke up, guessing that it was because of the Great Xia Nightless City.

"It is indeed the city that never sleeps in Great Xia."

At this moment, He Yan's voice sounded, and all the officials couldn't help looking at He Yan for a moment.

"The old man has already asked clearly. Yesterday, the Daxia Department Store sold at least one million shi of rice alone."

"According to half of the profit, there is also an income of 1000 million taels of silver. I heard that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have shared a lot, so it is natural to be arrogant."

When He Yan spoke, his words seemed a little calm.

"1000 million taels of silver entered into the account?"

In an instant, the faces of all the officials changed. They more or less guessed that it might have something to do with the city that never sleeps in Great Xia.

But when he heard 1000 million taels of silver, he still couldn't hold back.

Seeing everyone's performance, He Yan's voice couldn't help but continue to ring out.

"What is 1000 million taels of silver?"

"Using official salt to attract people, and then selling Jiang Zhonglong rice, in fact, this is nothing, and it is within the old man's expectations."

"But everyone, don't think that you can get 1000 million taels of silver in your account every day. You might as well think about it, Jiang Zhonglong rice, ordinary people can eat two or two meters, and they will be full for a day."

"A family can buy a stone of rice and eat it for at least three months. That is to say, after three months, there will be new profits."

"Even if this rice in the middle of the river sells more and better in the future, the problem is that the price of rice will eventually stabilize, and it is impossible to keep such a high price."

"In addition, the Great Xia Everbright City employs tens of thousands of workers. I heard that it has recruited tens of thousands of people recently. If this is the case, what will be the daily cost in the future?"

"Yang Shangshu and Wang Shangshu are still too young. This first payment of money seems to be a lot, but in fact it is to set the army's heart. The business of the Great Xia Everbright City will definitely not lose money in the future, but don't try to make too much money. .”

"What's the point of being happy for a few days if you have a sum of money and spend it randomly?"

"As the old saying goes, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal."

When He Yan opened his mouth, he was not optimistic about Daxia Everbright City, and of course he was mainly sour.

"This"

"Not necessarily, just relying on Jiangzhong Longmi, you shouldn't lose money."

"Yes, and if this Great Xia Nightless City is opened to various places, it will also make money."

"This city that never sleeps in Great Xia is now very well-known in the entire capital, and has an excellent reputation."

"I heard that in the Great Xia City that Never Sleeps, a garden of beasts has been opened. It is said that all kinds of rare and exotic animals will be put in it for the common people to watch, so as to collect money."

Some other officials did not quite agree. Although everyone said that everyone was bitter, but after all, the city that never sleeps in Daxia is now the hottest thing in the capital of Daxia, and basically everyone knows it.

So belittling is belittling, but forcibly belittling is not good.

But at this moment, a voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

"What Master He said is true."

"Great Xia's Nightless City, how much land does it cost? If it weren't for the Marquis of Destiny's contribution to the Great Xia Dynasty, I'm afraid that anyone who wants this piece of land will not be able to get it."

"Furthermore, the price reduction of official salt can only be achieved by the Marquis of Tianming in the entire Great Xia Dynasty."

The sound sounded, attracting the attention of many people.

This is Chang Yuntian, he said these words at this time, it sounded strange for some reason.

He Yan said a few words because He Yan is the Minister of the Household Department and has unique insights. What qualifications do you, a newly promoted censor, have to open your mouth to comment on Tianminghou.

Not only this, but another point is that this Chang Yuntian was recommended by King Qin.

And the relationship between King Qin and Gu Jinnian is very good. Although he didn't criticize Gu Jinnian, he still made some bad remarks to some extent, which is a bit strange.

He Yan couldn't help but glanced at Chang Yuntian's words, then nodded and said.

"Indeed, someone said just now that this business can be opened in other places, but you have overlooked one point, that is, the land, the land of Kyoto, is worth every inch of land."

"To put it bluntly, you don't need to do anything. The sale of land in Kyoto alone costs more than 1000 million taels of silver, right?"

When He Yan spoke, he agreed with Chang Yuntian's words.

"What your lord said is very true." Chang Yuntian smiled slightly, agreeing.

Also at this time.

Suddenly, two voices sounded.

"Master Yang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has arrived."

"Master Wang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has arrived."

Hearing this voice, Baiguan fell silent for a moment, but looked over.

It's not a big deal to come here in a sedan chair, and it's reasonable for Shang Shu to have such an arrangement.

But the main thing is that the two walked out of the sedan chair, followed by some attendants, holding a crystal bowl in their hands, which contained goat's milk and bird's nest, which was still warm.

"Oh, this goat's milk bird's nest is really unique, and the cook at Yufangzhai is really good."

Yang Kai made a sound, took a sip of the bird's nest, and commented happily.

"Yes, yes, the main reason is that the price is close to the people. It's only 50 taels of silver per bowl. If you eat two bowls a day, you'll only spend 100 taels of silver. Later, I will ask the people from Yufangzhai to give me a bowl for one person from the Ministry of Industry. bowl."

"Working hard every day, always nourishing one or two."

Wang Qixin said with a smile.

The conversation between the two silenced everyone present.

"It's amazing to be rich?"

"I still eat bird's nest. Is it useful to eat this at such an age?"

"It's really ridiculous. Who eats this bird's nest? It's ridiculous for women to eat."

"That's right, is it great to have two bad money?"

"Wealth can only last three generations. According to the speed of spending money like this, don't say that Daxia Everbright City will not be able to earn money in the future. If it does earn money, it will be ruined by them."

"Even if you give me this stuff, I won't eat it, and I don't know what to show off."

The officials muttered.

After all, the other party is Shangshu. Although they are not used to it, they dare not abuse it too directly.

"Yo, everyone is here too."

"It just so happens that this thing is so delicious, one bowl per person, come and drink, come and drink."

After walking out of the sedan chair, Yang Kai couldn't help opening his mouth, seeing everyone like this, couldn't help opening his mouth.

At that moment, the attendants behind him took out the goat's milk bird's nest from the basket one after another.

Now the attitude of the officials has changed.

"Master Yang, you are really polite."

"Anything like this?"

"Lonely happiness is not as good as public happiness. It seems that Master Yang has already realized the supremacy of Confucianism and Taoism."

"Master Yang, is it really a bowl for one person?"

Hearing that one bowl for one person, all the officials were excited, not that they really valued the 50 taels of silver.

The main thing is, who doesn't like things that are given for free?

In particular, a bowl of 50 taels is considered a luxury.

Hundreds of officials gather to go, if there is an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard.

Then Yang Kai's entourage each distributed a goat's milk bird's nest.

"Hmph, this old man doesn't eat the food that comes from you."

Someone muttered in a low voice, still a little bit embarrassed.

"My lord, why are you so stubborn? Why don't you eat something? Anyway, it doesn't cost money."

"Yes, my lord, take a bite."

Someone nearby brought goat's milk bird's nest, sucked it up, and ate it happily.

After saying this, some officials who were somewhat resistant, thought about it and walked over.

"Master Yang, you are truly generous."

They smiled and spoke, stepped forward and shouted.

After receiving the goat's milk bird's nest, everyone spoke one after another, and their words were much more polite than before.

"Don't tell me, this thing is really delicious."

"Yes, if you can drink this thing every day, you can live to be two hundred years old."

"The product produced by Yufangzhai really lives up to its reputation."

All the officials spoke and laughed.

"Master He, Sir He, I got you a bowl."

At this time, the left servant of the household department came over, took a bowl of goat's milk and bird's nest, and looked at He Yan with a smile.

Hearing this, He Yan couldn't help but snort coldly.

"No."

He Yan spoke.

When Zuo Shilang heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Master He, it's actually not necessary. If you don't drink what you give for free, isn't it a waste?"

"And this goat's milk bird's nest is indeed delicious, really, if you don't believe me, let me drink it for adults."

After Zuo Shilang said this, he took a sip directly, his mouth was full of milk flavor, and he was very happy.

"What's a mere bowl of bird's nest?"

"Look at you."

Seeing his subordinates like this, He Yan was indeed a little annoyed.

"No, my lord, this free food is really delicious, you don't believe me to take a bite."

The latter opened his mouth, hoping that He Yan would have a mouthful.

Seeing the other party like this, He Yan didn't say a word.

"Then my lord, if you don't eat it, will your subordinates eat it for you?"

The other party spoke.

Hearing this, He Yan glanced at all the officials again, and they all started drinking goat's milk and bird's nest, coughing involuntarily.

"Is it really that delicious?"

"I don't eat the food that comes from you."

He Yan still has a bit of backbone when he speaks out.

announced.

Hundred officials entered the dynasty.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice sounded.

At that moment, Baiguan put the bird's nest bowl back, and then walked towards the palace.

"Yuntian."

"You have to remember this matter outside the palace. As a censor, don't forget your job."

He Yan opened his mouth and kindly reminded Chang Yuntian of some things, because basically all the officials took a bite, except Chang Yuntian and other censor officials who did not eat.

That's why he reminded me.

The main thing is to say a few words for him before Chang Yuntian.

"I understand, my lord, thank you for reminding me."

Hearing He Yan's reminder, Chang Yuntian immediately spoke up and thanked him.

And so.

Hundreds of officials go to court,

The content of the court meeting is always step by step.

The first half of the content basically focuses on major national affairs, the dynamics of various countries, and internal issues of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In summary, there are three things.

First, because of the transportation of rice in the river, the three major disaster areas are currently extremely stable, but reconstruction still requires a lot of silver.

Second, the migration of the five major oases is being carried out in an orderly manner.

The third is the matter of the Tongmenghui. Although some measures have been taken against the countries, the problem is that these measures have not affected them.

And at present, the Great Xia Dynasty has obtained the preliminary list of the League.

There are many countries on the list. Regarding this matter, the imperial court still gives a strong warning. The specific measures need to be carefully considered. The struggle between countries is definitely not that simple. It is impossible to fight just now. Measure many things.

After the normal court meeting is over.

Finally, He Yan's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

As He Yan opened his mouth, the eyes of civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but focus on He Yan.

"Because of the three major disaster areas, plus the matter of the five major oases."

"Therefore, the national treasury and the bank are in short supply. I am afraid that the appropriations given to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites will be canceled this year. Please forgive me from the two ministries and ask Your Majesty to approve it."

He Yan opened his mouth and made a faint sound.

As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers frowned slightly, and everyone was not stupid, obviously knowing that this was making things difficult.

This allocation is quite a lot, and it belongs to the research and development allocation. Although it does not mean that the department will stop turning, it is definitely not easy, at least in the near future, it will not be too easy.

So when they heard this, the officials didn't know what to say.

I feel sorry for Yang Kai and Wang Qixin, but also feel that the two of them are indeed a little arrogant, so it's okay now, to provoke the Minister of the Household Department?

Are you full and have nothing to do?
What's so powerful about this is that if your Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry refuse to agree, he can directly say that your Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have spent a lot of money recently.

If you deny it, these recent incidents are all incriminating evidence.

So you can only hold your breath.

Let's see who suffers more.

As far as Emperor Yongsheng was concerned, it was true that the household department said this kind of thing, reducing expenses.

It's just that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry might not agree.

"Yang Aiqing, Wang Aiqing, what do you two mean?"

Emperor Yongsheng looked at the two of them with curiosity in his eyes.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"If you can do something for the Great Xia, the veteran will naturally not refuse. Besides, He Shangshu is also for the stability of the country. If you can share one or two for the court, the minister agrees."

Yang Kai made a sound and agreed directly, not uncomfortable at all.

What is one million taels of silver?
Now I still have more than 800 million taels of silver on hand, and I don't know how to spend it.

More than 100 million taels of silver came, do you really think it is a good thing?Most of them are used to do things. If you don't give yourself money now, you can do less things. This is blood money.

Besides, He Yan himself said that the money was used to rebuild the three major disaster areas, not to eat, drink and have fun, so Yang Kai didn't feel uncomfortable, of course he also knew that He Yan was deliberately looking for trouble.

It's just that after getting rich, my mentality has relaxed a lot, and naturally, I don't care about anything anymore.

"Since Mr. Yang is so generous, as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the veteran naturally can't mess around."

"Your Majesty, the old minister agrees."

Wang Qixin spoke up and agreed directly. In contrast, their Ministry of Industry still has more than 900 million taels of silver to spend, and now they still have a headache, so it is meaningless to give themselves more than 100 million taels of silver.

Emperor Yongsheng was a little surprised that the two agreed so happily.

Why don't you understand the two?
Why did you change your gender today?

Kind of weird.

No, it's not a little weird, is it too weird?
"Since the two lovers have such intentions, I will agree."

It's weird to be weird, but if you promise, you still have to promise, isn't it a good thing that people don't want money?
"Your Majesty is wise."

"I would also like to thank the two ministers for understanding the work of the household department."

He Yan opened his mouth, first bowed to Emperor Yongsheng, and then looked at Yang Kai and said so.

He didn't think there was a big change in the attitude of the two of them, after all, they couldn't tolerate the two of them refusing.

This incident is just a small episode.

But at this moment, Emperor Yongsheng spoke up.

"Oh, by the way, now Daxia needs silver taels everywhere, and I have reduced my daily living and lodging in the internal treasury, and all my lovers are ministers of the humerus of Daxia, so I hope you can donate some silver taels. "

"It is better to stabilize the disaster situation earlier and rebuild new homes for these people."

"I will set an example and donate 10 taels of gold. The more you love, the better."

"Before tonight, Wei Xian, you go to the residence of the love ministers, count the amount of donations, and after confirming, you can announce all the officials to enter the palace."

Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and informed the officials about the donation.

After saying this, Baiguan's face was calm, but there were some disturbances in his heart.

It's not a good thing to ask yourself to donate money when you are so poor.

Of course, it's okay to say these words in your heart, and you will speak one by one on the bright side.

In the entire court, only Wang Qixin and Yang Kai had other thoughts.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

They speak out.

And Emperor Yongsheng didn't say anything, and waved them away.

With all the officials retreating.

He Yan walked in the front, looking a little cheerful, and some officials walked side by side with He Yan.

Yang Kai and Wang Qixin walked together, both seemed to be preoccupied.

I don't even know what to think.

But at this moment, He Yan's voice sounded slowly.

"Yang Shangshu, Wang Shangshu, the two Lord Shangshu must not be angry about the reduction of the household department. After all, the three major disaster areas are the most important, and there is no way to do it."

"However, if the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry really need money, and if there is an urgent situation, the old man can also call out here. When the time comes, you can come to the Ministry of Households to find me, so as not to delay the big deal."

He Yan spoke.

He took the initiative to find the two of them and said these words.

But this is not a good word, with a little other meaning.

He subconsciously thought that Yang Kai and Wang Qixin were still worrying about reducing the appropriation at this moment, otherwise, why did they look so preoccupied after they walked out of the hall?

So when he stepped forward to say this, he actually said it for everyone to see.

If you want money, come to the Ministry of Accounts and ask me.

If the two of you have a better attitude, ask me to admit your mistake, you are colleagues, and you can be regarded as friends these years, so I will give you a little step down.

But don't think that if you have some money, you can be arrogant. Remember that in the court, the money is still in the control of the household department.

The purpose of doing this is to let other officials see it, let everyone know, don't just show off if you have a little money, if you want money in the court, you have to listen to what he says.

But when the two of them heard He Yan's opening, they just glanced at him, nodded, and left without saying a word.

Seeing the two of them like this, He Yan was taken aback, and the other officials were also a little silent.

Soon, when the two of them walked a little further away, mutterings could not help but sound.

"Hey, quite a temper."

"Isn't it just a little money? What do you really think of yourself?"

"If the Ministry of Households doesn't give you the funds, are they really not panicking at all?"

"Don't talk about it, I think it hurts a lot. Didn't you read it? After Yang Shangshu and Wang Shangshu came out of the hall, they didn't say a word. They looked very worried, and they were obviously unhappy."

"It deserves it. After earning some money, you can't find the southeast and northwest. Why bother to give each person a bowl of bird's nest? Why bother? We have been colleagues for so many years, who doesn't know who?"

"Yeah, if you have some money, you can show it off. It's all right now, isn't it a disadvantage?"

Many officials said that they were all officials who followed the household department. After all, the household department is too important to them. If the household department does not allocate funds for many things, then they will have nothing to do.

However, at this moment, a voice could not help but sound.

"Goat's milk bird's nest has been delivered again? My lords, hurry up and get it."

"Good guy, are you really so arrogant?"

"Hiss, Yang Shangshu, you are really generous."

In an instant, the officials surrounding He Yan left one after another, and all rushed out of the palace to take goat's milk and bird's nest.

And Hubu Zuo Shilang, who was about to go there, was suddenly pulled back by He Yan.

"What is the system?"

When He Yan spoke, he was not angry.

Hearing this, Hubu Zuo Shilang was a little sad and depressed, and could only look helplessly outside the palace.

However, the next moment, He Yan said with a straight face.

"Bring me a bowl too."

After saying this, the latter couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then walked out of the palace with a smile on his face.

As the other party left, He Yan glanced back, and immediately saw Chang Yuntian.

He stopped for a while.

When Chang Yuntian appeared beside him, He Yan's voice could not help but sound.

"Long Yushi, the capital of Daxia has been in chaos recently."

"Due to the matter of official salt and dragon rice, the people of this capital come and go very frequently, which is more or less inappropriate."

"Furthermore, although the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have made some money, they still have to pay attention to their image. If they mess around like this, the people will see me and say that I am a big Xia official."

"It's hard for me to say it, but Yushitai is easy to say. I see you are good, but I can be regarded as upright and upright, and I can say a few words."

He Yan opened his mouth, suppressed his voice, and said so to Chang Yuntian.

He doesn't care what Chang Yuntian's origin is, he has to abide by the rules of the officialdom when he enters the officialdom, Chang Yuntian is a censor, and his rank is lower than him, so some things can be mentioned.

Whether to do it or not is Chang Yuntian's business, but if you mention a few words, you can see who Chang Yuntian is.

"Don't worry, my lord."

"Of course, Yushitai won't ignore some things, but after all, it involves Lord Hou. The officials admire him very much, and the Confucian scholars in Yushitai also respect Lord Hou very much, so some things can't be messed up. Say."

Chang Yuntian spoke respectfully.

It has been half a month since he came to the Great Xia Dynasty, and he did not come to the Great Xia Dynasty in a very high-profile manner, he just asked the King of Qin to recommend him.

Then I chose Yushitai, and didn't do anything earth-shattering.

On the contrary, he was extremely low-key. If he hadn't inserted a sentence or two today, he probably wouldn't have had anything to do with He Yan.

Chang Yuntian's idea is very simple, he needs to make meritorious service in the imperial court, and only by doing something can he have the right to speak, otherwise, it is useless to rely on King Qin's recommendation.

He wants to build up his own power and target Gu Jinnian internally, of course it will take some time.

And his first goal is He Yan, Minister of the Household Department.

"Well, the old man believes that you are a smart person."

"At the meeting tomorrow, you can just speak directly. If what you say is right, the old man will also say a few words for you."

He Yan praised one or two, but also hinted at some things.

"Your Excellency is overrated."

"The next official will do his best, please rest assured, my lord."

"By the way, my lord, in fact, the lower officials have also done some research on the Ministry of Household Affairs. I recently wrote an article about Daxia's treasure banknotes. If my lord does not dislike it, I will go to my lord's mansion in a few days and dedicate this policy to my lord. Hope you can give me some pointers?"

Chang Yuntian opened his mouth and mentioned another matter.

"Great Summer Treasure Banknote?"

"Go back and show this old man, if it's a good idea, this old man will consider it."

He Yan nodded, but didn't say much. Just because he has a little affection for Chang Yuntian, it doesn't mean that he approves of Chang Yuntian and regards Chang Yuntian as his own.

It's enough to say a few words, and it's impossible to keep talking, and it's not yet confirmed whether it's my own person.

"Thank you sir."

Chang Yuntian opened his mouth, and after saying this, he consciously slowed down and let He Yan walk forward.

After walking out of the palace.

Zuo Shilang brought goat's milk bird's nest, He Yan took it, took a sip, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Sure enough, it's still delicious to eat for nothing in this world."

He Yan smiled.

"really."

"But Mr. He, how much money did Mr. Yang and Mr. Wang earn, how dare they spend it like this?"

"It doesn't mean something else. If it's really too much, should our household department also intervene in the city that never sleeps in Daxia?"

The left servant of the household department opened his mouth, looked at He Yan and asked.

"I estimate that 50 taels is almost the same, and it will not exceed this number."

"If it exceeds 50 taels of silver, how can the two of them be devastated?"

He Yan spoke lightly, looking extremely confident.

"50 taels? Isn't that too little? How dare you spend 50 taels like this? My lord, all the things in Wenbaozhai have been taken away by the Ministry of Rites, and the total amount exceeds 50 taels."

Zuo Shilang felt that it was a little impossible, after all, if it was 50 taels, it would be impossible to spend money like this.

"wrong."

He Yan shook his head, then said.

"These days, the more poor people are, the more they like to make public. How many years have I been in this position? How many businessmen have I met? Some businessmen, the more ostentatious they are, the more money they spend. It's like going to a flower shop and spending a day The 10 taels of silver is just to make the oiran smile."

"Do you think this man is rich?"

"Most people think that he is rich, but in fact? His family's wealth is only two to three hundred thousand taels of silver, just a whim."

"This is obviously a trick. The Great Xia Everbright City has some benefits, but it must not be much."

"More silver taels will be needed in the future. Yang Kai and Wang Qixin just want to show their financial strength and make other people curious, so they can invest money in."

"Don't say anything else, just watch now."

"Tonight, Wang Qixin and Yang Kai will definitely come to the old man's house to apologize and admit their mistakes."

He Yan said confidently.

"Then this subordinate will go to your lord's house today, in case anything happens, your lord needs your subordinates."

The latter also understood the wink, and immediately asked for a job.

"it is good."

He Yan nodded.

In this way, the two left together.

And at the same time.

Wang Qixin and Yang Kai, who had already walked out of the palace, were also discussing one thing.

That is the donation that His Majesty just mentioned.

"Wang Shangshu, the donation that His Majesty mentioned in the court today, how much do you intend to donate?"

Yang Kai said.

Asking Wang Qixin.

"How much does Yang Shangshu plan to donate?"

Wang Qixin made a sound, also a little curious.

"This time, the amount of the account is huge. I am really happy. If there is no natural disaster in the summer, I actually plan to use the excess silver to build a private school in the county, so that some poor people can study."

"If there is any delay in the three major disaster areas this time, it will always be a heart problem for me in Daxia. Therefore, the old man plans to donate 1000 million taels of silver, which can be regarded as a dedication."

Yang Kai made a sound.

What he said is true, the reason why the Ministry of Rites asks for money every year is actually to build the academy and pay salaries to some masters, so that more people can study.

As for really saying that you enjoy yourself, it doesn't make much sense. Most of the officials who can reach this level are actually serving the country, especially in the current environment and stage.

If you are really selfish, it will be difficult to get to this position.

There must be some selfishness for future generations, but the main thing is for the country and the people.

Yang Kai is a great Confucian, if he doesn't even have this moral character, wouldn't it be a joke?
"Master Yang is really for the people. Since Master Yang speaks like this, I can't save it. I will also contribute 1000 million taels of silver to contribute to the early pacification of the disaster area in Daxia."

When Wang Qixin opened his mouth, he couldn't help admiring Yang Kai's character. At the same time, he was also arrogant and took out 1000 million taels of silver.

These two days of spending money, they can also feel that there is too much money at once, and there is nowhere to spend it. It is better to spend the money in useful places.

It's also a good thing to do.

Besides, this Great Xia Nightless City is not a one-time transaction, and the money earned in the future will only increase.

There is nothing to worry about.

It's almost enough to get some benefits for the officials of the Ministry of Industry. Is it possible that they really eat delicacies from mountains and seas?

This is totally unreasonable.

"Lord Wang also has a heart for the people."

"In that case, there is not much to say."

Yang Kai nodded and praised Wang Qixin.

"However, what you say today is really targeted."

Wang Qixin opened his mouth, and after confirming the amount of donation, he couldn't help mentioning what He Yan did today.

Hearing this, Yang Kai couldn't help but snort coldly.

"He Yan, who is in charge of the treasury, has always been a little arrogant, and he has not been less angry with him over the years."

"When Eunuch Wei Xian finds out about the money donated by the two of us tonight, I'm afraid he will know about the money made in Daxia Everbright City."

"At that time, He Yan would beg the two of us."

"Going to the old man's house today, the two of us will feel bad."

Yang Kai made a sound and said so.

"it is good."

Wang Qixin couldn't help laughing when he heard that He Yan could be deflated. The two of them were usually in the court, and they were really angry with He Yan.

Now it is a good thing to get revenge on He Yan and go back.

In this way, Wang Qixin followed Yang Kai away.

Hai time.

The night is dark.

On the streets of Jingdu, Wei Xian led some court ladies and eunuchs to go door to door looking for courtiers and officials to record donations.

But asking people to donate money is not a good job, on the contrary it is a hard job.

At the very least, Wei Xian didn't get any good looks, especially when he knocked on the door outside, the other party directly pulled him in, without further ado, let Wei Xian see the situation inside.

It has to be said that Daxia officials are really clean, not so much clean as they are really poor.

Therefore, the amount of donations is usually a few hundred taels of silver. That is to say, it is better for high-ranking officials to donate 500 taels or 1000 taels.

More or less three 5000 taels can be taken out.

He just ran for two hours. So far, the donation amount on the bill has not exceeded [-], which made him very depressed.

After going back, His Majesty will definitely be furious because of this matter.

But there is no way, and it is not a compulsory donation. It is all a matter of people's intention to donate.

in this way.

Finally, Wei Xian came to the Yang Mansion.

Wei Xian had also heard about what the Ministry of Rites had done in the past two days, but the specific circumstances were still under investigation.

However, considering the heroic appearance of the Ministry of Rites in the past two days, the donation should not be too small.

So Wei Xian sorted out his emotions, and asked Yang's servant to pass on the message with a smile.

Not long after, a servant came respectfully and invited him in.

After entering the Yang Mansion.

Yang Kai and Wang Qixin have been welcoming them in the hall for a long time.

"Eunuch Wei Xian, you are really tired."

"I've seen Mr. Wei Xian."

The two opened their mouths, facing the people around the emperor, they were naturally polite.

"The two lords of Shangshu are the ones who are hardworking. The miscellaneous family came to visit late at night. Please don't be angry."

Wei Xian spoke out respectfully, showing courtesy.

"What did Eunuch Wei say? Doing things for the court and collecting donations for the common people, how could this old man be angry?"

Yang Kai smiled, full of gentleness.

"Your Majesty has such a heart, and His Majesty will be pleased to know that, but it's getting late, and the miscellaneous family will stop chatting. It just so happens that the two adults are here, and this time they will donate money to the disaster area."

"How much is the amount for the two adults? After the miscellaneous family has recorded it, we will go to the next one."

Wei Xian said, it's really not early at this time, he still has a lot to do, so he didn't exchange pleasantries.

Hearing this, Yang Kai clapped his hands, and then said slowly.

"The country is in danger. As a subject, I can't ignore it. My ability is limited, so I can donate 1000 million taels of silver."

Yang Kai made a sound and said seriously.

"1000 taels of silver?"

"My lord, isn't this a bit small?"

Hearing this, Wei Xian looked at Yang Kai with a smirk. After all, the donation of 1000 taels from the Minister of Rituals is indeed a bit small.

"No no no."

"It's not 1000 taels, it's 1000 million taels."

Yang Kai immediately explained.

But Wei Xian nodded and said.

"Oh, 1000 million taels."

"Master Yang, what?"

"1000 million taels?"

"Master Yang, what is the meaning of this?"

Wei Xian was taken aback for a moment, and he came to his senses, it wasn't 1000 taels, nor 1 taels, but 1000 million taels.

???

hiss.

He has gone to hundreds of houses so far, and the total donation is only 10 taels, which may not be there yet.

You Yang Kai said to donate 1000 million taels?
Are you bluffing me?
"Well, 1000 million taels."

Yang Kai nodded, with a smile in his eyes.

"Eunuch Wei, I also donated 1000 million taels, which can be regarded as an early contribution to the people in the disaster area."

At this moment, Wang Qixin's voice continued to sound.

Wei Xian was stunned on the spot.

Including the accompanying ladies and eunuchs.

They all froze in place.

I always feel like I heard it wrong.

1000 taels of silver?
"Master Yang, don't talk nonsense about the donation."

"Ten million taels? This is no joke."

Wei Xian spoke tremblingly when he spoke, he subconsciously felt that the two were playing with him.

Let alone the two of them.

Can the entire household department, the entire ritual department, provide 1000 million taels of silver?

No, it adds up to 2000 million taels of silver.

However, at this moment, the servant outside the door had already walked in, bringing a large box.

"Eunuch Wei, how can I joke about such things, you can see for yourself."

He made a sound, and after saying this, he pointed to the box on the ground.

At that moment, everyone turned their gazes over, and Wei Xian was stunned by the thick stack of bank notes in the box.

After half an hour.

Under Yang Kai's call, Wei Xian came back to his senses.

"Master Yang, Lord Wang, how did you get this money?"

"Did you loot the treasury?"

Wei Xian swallowed, he really couldn't imagine how Yang Kai and Wang Qixin got so much money.

I couldn't help asking the two if they had looted the treasury.

"Eunuch Wei."

"Don't think about it, this is the account of Daxia Everbright City."

Wang Qixin opened his mouth, and then pulled Wei Xian to tell Wei Xian about the Great Xia Nightless City.

"impossible."

"My lord, although the miscellaneous family doesn't know how much money Daxia Everbright City has earned, the amount of rice sold in the Jiangzhong is at most 200 million shi. There is a profit, but it is impossible for the two lords to share half of the profit, right?"

"Furthermore, isn't it true that the two adults get two chips for each person?"

Wei Xian made a sound, thinking that it has absolutely nothing to do with Daxia Everbright City.

Hearing this, the two were a little surprised. Wei Xian actually knew these things like the back of his hand, and the intelligence capabilities of the royal family were really incredible.

The good thing is that Gu Jinnian is strictly controlling these land deed transactions, so he has not been aware of them for the time being.

But if you think about it carefully, you will know sooner or later.

Simply, Yang Kai made a sound.

Informed Wei Xian about the shop.

After finishing speaking, Wei Xian was dumbfounded.

"A shop selling 1000 million taels of silver?"

Wei Xian was dumbfounded.

No matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that Daxia Everbright City would be so profitable?

This is too scary, right?
"Well, if Eunuch Wei doesn't believe it, let someone go and check it out."

"These things cannot be faked."

"Furthermore, if it is genuine silver from an unknown source, would the old man dare to use it? How dare he donate it? Are you afraid that His Majesty will commit crimes?"

Yang Kai said, these words completely dispelled all Wei Xian's doubts.

Yes.

If there is really a problem with the money, but you really dare not take it out, what is the point of taking it out blatantly?
Looking for death?
Or do you feel that your life is too comfortable, and you must find some excitement?

And Wei Xian also thought of another thing, that is why the prince refused to refund the money?
Now everything is clear, it makes sense, and I want to understand it.

He really thought that the prince had changed his gender, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

"The miscellaneous family understands."

"The two lords are really generous, and the miscellaneous people will definitely tell His Majesty about this matter."

After thinking about it, Wei Xian was extremely excited, he wished he could rush to the palace now and tell Emperor Yongsheng about it.

But Yang Kai saw through his intentions, and immediately patted Wei Xian on the shoulder and said.

"Eunuch Wei, it's better to collect the donation first and then talk about it."

"By the way, you can also tell them the amount of money donated by the old couple, so as to inspire everyone to donate more."

"That's what Master Hou meant."

Yang Kai made a sound and said something.

"Okay, Miscellaneous understands."

"Please don't worry, my lord."

Although he didn't know what Yang Kai meant, but since Gu Jinnian was involved, he didn't dare to mess around, he went to finish the money donation first, and spread the matter by the way.

Obviously Hou Ye needs more people to know how profitable Daxia Everbright City is.

In this way, Wei Xian left and took away together with the cash box.

After leaving, Wei Xian took a deep breath, and went door to door to continue collecting money.

But the next fundraising, the temperament changed.

When knocking on the door, the officials felt a little helpless, some pretended to be poor, some cried miserably, and Wei Xian was always able to tell the amount of money donated by Yang Kai and Wang Qixin at the right time.

Then these officials were shocked one by one.

There are those who don't believe it, and there are those who refuse to believe it to death, and there are still some who still don't believe the banknotes before them.

Wei Xian was also patient and told these officials about the store.

In an instant.

These officials believed it.

To be precise, I believed half of it, at least it was better than not believing at all before.

Then the facts were as Yang Kai said, the big guys did indeed donate a little more, the kind of hundreds of taels can't be seen anymore, at least it started with 1000 taels.

But after the money was donated, these courtiers ran out of the house one by one and rushed to the Yang Mansion.

About less than half an hour.

Outside the Yang residence.

The figure of the servant hurriedly appeared.

"Master, the Minister of the Ministry of War asks to see you."

"My lord, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is asking to see you."

"My lord, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is asking to see you."

"Master, Xu Guogong is here to visit."

One after another voices sounded, and in the lobby, Yang Kai and Wang Qixin looked at each other and smiled.

"Invite them in."

Yang Kai was very straightforward, letting everyone in.

Not long after, familiar figures walked in quickly. As soon as he entered the lobby, Zhao Yiyang, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't bear it any longer.

"Master Yang, Lord Wang, Eunuch Wei Xian said just now that you earned 1000 million taels of silver."

Zhao Yiyang opened his mouth, straight to the point, and asked Yang Kai.

As soon as this statement came out, the rest of the people who came together looked at Yang Kai curiously.

"No."

Yang Kai shook his head, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, inexplicably feeling better.

But then, Yang Kai's voice sounded again, making them silent.

"It's 2000 million taels."

The sound fell.

Everyone froze in place.

"The old man also earned 2000 million taels."

Wang Qixin continued to speak.

In an instant, the sound of breathing stopped.

To be honest, they are all colleagues. They are not very happy when they learn that their colleagues have lost money, and they are even more unhappy when they learn that their colleagues have made money.

2000 million taels?

What kind of concept is this?

I lost.

And at the same time.

In He Mansion.

He Yan and Zuo Shilang of the household department sat in the courtyard and played chess.

He glanced at the sky.

Zuo Shilang's voice could not help but sound.

"Sir Shangshu, it's getting so late, why haven't Lord Yang and Lord Wang come yet?"

He spoke, a little curiously.

"Ah."

"Don't worry, I'm afraid they are now discussing what to say and how to use the wording when they see the old man later."

"Even the old man guessed that the two of them are simulating how to talk to the old man."

"Don't say anything to make the old man unhappy."

He Yan opened his mouth and smiled slightly.

When the latter heard this, he suddenly realized, and then said with a smile: "Master Shang Shu is still smart, think about it, you must be more cautious when asking for help, and you need to think carefully about your words and words."

"Oh, if I knew this earlier, why did I do it in the first place?"

The latter spoke and flattered her.

But at this moment, the figure of the servant came.

"Master, Eunuch Wei Xian is asking to see you."

Fall with the sound.

He Yan dropped a child, and then said: "Please."

Soon.

When Wei Xian walked into the mansion, the smile on his face couldn't be like this, it could be said to be full of happiness.

Seeing Wei Xian approaching, He Yan was straightforward, took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve, and handed it to the other party.

"Eunuch Wei is still collecting money at this hour, it's really hard work."

"The old man has been frugal over the years, but he has saved 5000 taels of silver."

"In addition, the old lady does some business at home, heard about the big summer disaster, and collected 3 taels of silver, which can be regarded as serving the country."

"Small meaning, for me Daxia, it's a drop in the bucket, but it can be regarded as a modest effort."

He Yan said, he will not be stingy in this fundraising, and it can be regarded as using his wife's capital. Firstly, it is to show one or two, and secondly, it is also to show his ability.

However, just when He Yan thought that Wei Xian would be overjoyed, he didn't expect that Wei Xian picked up the bank note and took it away directly.

"Thank you, Mr. He."

"The miscellaneous family is going to the next family, and I have to tell His Majesty the happy event."

Wei Xian smiled and said, now he can't wait to go back to the palace and tell His Majesty the good news.

"Thirty-five thousand taels of silver, isn't it a big happy event?"

"Eunuch doesn't need to be like this."

He Yan was a little surprised, 5000 taels of silver, although it is the No. 1 donation after His Majesty, there is no need for this, right?
Are you too polite?
"No, no, adults know what everyone wants, but the big happy event has nothing to do with adults."

"Master Yang and Lord Wang have donated a total of 2000 million taels of silver. This is a great event, and the miscellaneous families have to tell His Majesty."

The latter spoke, laughing out loud.

"What?"

"2000 million taels?"

"Eunuch Wei, have you been cheated?"

He Yan was stunned.

What the hell?
2000 taels of silver?

Are you bluffing me?
You take me for a fool?

Seeing He Yan like this, Wei Xian was polite and said what he said before.

It is roughly the process of how Yang Kai and Wang Qixin earned the money.

And so on mentioned the shop.

He Yan froze in place.

"Master He, the words have been made clear, the miscellaneous family still has important matters, so we won't stay any longer."

Wei Xian didn't talk too much, and left directly.

After Wei Xian left.

He Yan was still stunned in place, as was Zuo Shilang.

"1000 million taels a shop?"

"Master Shangshu, is this a lie?"

When Zuo Shilang spoke, he came back to his senses and subconsciously felt that this was a trick to deceive people.

"Ouch!"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong."

"The old man was wrong."

"Oh, why didn't the old man expect that the Marquis of Tianming actually made money through this method."

"Genius, genius, really a genius in business."

Who is He Yan?

Daxia Hubu Shangshu, in terms of business, why not say that he is the best in the world, but he is also the elite of the elite.

In fact, after Wei Xian finished speaking, he believed it was true.

"Master Shangshu, is this true?"

Zuo Shilang was a little shocked and couldn't believe it.

"It must be true."

"Great Xia's Nightless City attracted the people of the entire capital to gather, and the people of seven or eight surrounding prefectures all went there admiringly."

"In this way, there will be more customers, and the prices of the shops will be higher."

"Furthermore, the shop opened by the Marquis of Destiny is equivalent to a second level of protection, plus additional tax exemption, so 1000 million taels of silver is considered a short sale."

"Ouch!"

"I'm really stupid, I missed an opportunity to make a fortune."

"Marquis Tianming came to look for this old man back then, but was prevaricated by this old man, I was so stupid, I let Yang Kai and Wang Qixin pick up a big bargain."

This time, He Yan's mentality collapsed.

One is that Yang Kai and Wang Qixin made money, and the other is that he rejected Gu Jinnian at the beginning. If he had been patient then, he would have heard about Gu Jinnian's plan to make a fortune.

Maybe I have already joined the fund, and it is estimated that I will not be less.

In other words, the person who is now divided into tens of millions of taels of silver is himself.

blood loss.

Blood damn it.

"No, no, this old man is going to find Yang Kai now."

"Let Yang Kai intercede, this business must be counted as a part of the household department."

He Yan ran outside in a hurry, the confidence and calmness he had just now were gone.

Just ran out.

He Yan suddenly ran back again, looking crazy.

"Master Shangshu, why are you back?"

Zuo Shilang was a little puzzled, he felt that Master Shangshu had gone crazy.

"I can't just go there."

"I want to prepare some presents."

"Also, think clearly about your wording when you speak later, and you must not say the wrong thing."

"Come, come, let's be a pair, you imitate Yang Kai and Yang Shangshu, and see if I say something wrong, and make them unhappy."

He Yan spoke, and then pulled the other party to simulate a dialogue.

In order to express his sincerity, He Yan even took a shower and tidied up his appearance, fearing that people would think that he was a little messy and insincere, which would cause trouble.

In this way, after tossing for half an hour.

He Yan brought some gifts that he had treasured for many years and kept at the bottom of the box, and rushed to Yang's mansion in a hurry.

At this moment, He Yan was anxious and regretful. If he hadn't participated in the Great Xia Nightless City this time, he would really regret it.

I will live in pain all my life.

Therefore, He Yan's speed was very fast, and he ran all the way without taking a carriage.

After arriving at Yang's Mansion, He Yan's expression turned ugly when he saw carriages and sedan chairs parked outside Yang's Mansion.

So many people are here?It looks like everyone wants to participate.

This made He Yan extremely uncomfortable, and his face was not very good-looking.

But when he was approaching Yang's mansion, he immediately changed his smile, came to the gate of Yang's mansion politely, asked the servant to report, and asked to see him.

And at the same time.

in Kyoto.

In a residential house.

Chang Yuntian slowly put down the brush.

There was a gratified smile on his face.

He just finished writing, impeaching the three major crimes of the Great Xia Everbright City, plus some things about Yang Kai and Wang Qixin.

"I think tomorrow, He Yanhe will support me."

"Although I will offend Yang Kai and Wang Qixin, to me, they are not the people I want to win over."

"And if I do this, Mr. He will definitely support and assist me. It can be regarded as a kind of standing in line. First, gain a firm foothold in the household department, and then things will be much more convenient."

Chang Yuntian opened his mouth and made a faint sound.

Then, his eyes fell on the 'Great Xia Treasures' at the side.

This thing is extremely important.
