Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 594 The Embarrassed Court

Dou Shen's solution is very simple, that is, continue to donate to the prison!
Although more than 1000 people have paid money, Dou Shen still did not stop to donate prisons, and still collected money at the gate of the East Palace to accept donated prisons.

However, Dou Shen also said that because the number of places is limited, those who donated to the supervisor before can not be guaranteed to be qualified as a supervisor, and they need to charge another review fee, so that the officials of various departments can review your materials first. Get the supervisor qualification approved.

And those who pay later don’t have to worry, the money can be handed in first, and if they are willing to pay another sum of money to establish a relationship, then they can jump in the queue and go to the front for priority review, and can obtain the qualification of supervisor faster than those who paid before.

When the news was released, more people came to the East Palace with money in their hands.

Those who had already paid in advance, naturally did not want to get the ducks, and were squeezed out by the people behind, so they were willing to pay more to build relationships.

Those who came from behind were naturally anxious to get in the car. If they wanted to squeeze out the people in front, they would have to spend more money.

In less than five days, Dou Shen sold a total of 2000 supervision places, and at the same time charged an extra "handling fee" of [-] million yuan.

When Li Chu saw such a sum of money, he was also shocked.

The quota of 5000 supervising students is a full 2000 million yuan, all of which have to be turned over to the imperial court, but the handling fee of [-] million yuan is all from the East Palace.

However, Li Chu still asked anxiously: "Will the imperial court agree to you selling the quota of two thousand supervisors at once?"

Dou Shen smiled and said: "As long as His Highness handed over the money, would the imperial court spit out the money after it got it? Moreover, the addition of 1000 and 2000 people to the Guozijian is a document for the imperial court. Forget it, a lot of people donated the places of supervisors, not for the sake of studying in the Imperial College."

Dou Shen went on to say: "Your Highness, if these people cannot be made supervisors, then the money will be refunded, and the extra handling fees we charged will also be refunded."

Now Li Chu didn't hesitate any more, the 2000 million yuan was a big sum for Donggong!

Li Chu immediately sent another memorial to the imperial court, saying that the people of Chang'an had generously donated to the prison this time, and now they have sold [-] quotas for supervisors, and asked the imperial court how to deal with it.

This memorial once again caused a storm in the court. When Li Chu sent the memorial to the court, the money from the sale of the two thousand supervisory students was also sent to the Duzhi treasury of the household department.

But Li Chu deliberately packed the money in a big box, escorted it from Zhuque Street to Nanya in a carriage, and delivered it to the treasury of the household department in person.

The word "Duzhi" hangs on the Duzhi treasury of the Ministry of Households. This is the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty. It is a huge treasury.

Because Datang's collection of taxes is very complicated, in addition to grain, there are silk and various special products, so the entire Duzhi warehouse occupies a very large area, and there are many different types of warehouses.

However, since Fifth Qi took charge of Duzhi, all kinds of miscellaneous donations have been changed to folded money. Now the most important warehouse in Duzhi is the money bank.

Seeing the box after box of money, Dou Shen ordered his men to pile up the money at the door of the Duzhi Treasury, and after handing in the ledger, he stood guarding the money at the same spot, neither handing it over to Duzhi nor leaving.

At this time, in the political affairs hall, the prime ministers were also arguing about the money sent by the crown prince.

Prime Minister Pei Mian's attitude was very firm: "The imperial court has already said when it opened the donated prisons. The Guozijian only provides [-] posts for donating prisons. Now the Donggong sent us [-] donated prisons. Half of the money will be refunded!"

But after Pei Mian finished speaking, another prime minister, Li Lin, said: "But among the 2000 people, who got their money back and who didn't get their money back? These are those who donated money to help the court, and those who were refunded Will you feel resentment towards the imperial court?"

After Li Lin finished speaking, the entire political affairs hall fell silent. The biggest problem now is that the money has been collected. If the money is refunded, wouldn't it be a farce?
Pei Mian looked around, and the rest of the colleagues were silent.

At this time, the Ministry of Household Affairs also sent a report, saying that Donggong had piled up the money donated to the prison, a total of 5000 million yuan, at the door of the Duzhi Treasury, and asked the Zhengshitang how to deal with it.

Hearing this, the heads of the prime ministers were buzzing again, and this time the handwriting of the East Palace also attracted the attention of all officials in Beijing. After the money sent and collected by Dou Shen escorted through Zhuque Street, many low-level officials followed to Du Onlookers, now 5000 million yuan is piled up at the door of Duzhi Treasury, the visual effect is quite shocking.

Seeing so much money, those low-level officials who were owed two months' salary by the court couldn't bear it any longer. They didn't know who took the lead. These officials shouted loudly to let the Ministry of Households accept the money. .

After hearing the report, the prime ministers in the Zhengshitang were even more uncertain.

At this time, Qiu Cui Guangyuan, who has been slippery since entering the Political Affairs Hall, said: "Everyone, please leave this matter to His Majesty's holy order!"

Several other prime ministers also expressed their agreement, Pei Mian could only sigh and said: "That's the only way to go! But please write down your opinions and submit them to His Majesty!"

Pei Mian first picked up a pen, wrote his opinion on the back of the memorial, and then handed it to Prime Minister Li Lin.

Li Lin also wrote his own handling opinions and handed it over to another prime minister. Although Cui Guangyuan didn't want to get involved in this matter, he also wrote a few high-sounding nonsense.

After all the prime ministers had written their opinions, Pei Mian called the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, handed over the memorial to him, and ordered him to send it to the harem immediately.

At this time, in the emperor's imperial study, Mu Rong and Gonggong Mu were sorting out various memorials in the side room.

The emperor has been in poor health for the past few days, and the number of memorials to be processed has dropped a lot, so every day, some memorials need to be carefully selected and handed over to the emperor for correction, and the remaining memorials will be sent to the original department according to the procedure. Unify the opinions, then there is no need to ask the emperor for instructions.

It became very delicate to choose what kind of memorials to show to the emperor, which also made Eunuch Mu a celebrity that all courts wanted to curry favor with.

However, when the Zhengshitang sent a memorial signed by all the prime ministers, Mu Rong did not dare to withhold the memorial, but sent it directly to the emperor's case.

At this time, the emperor was wearing glasses, looking at the battle report sent by Guo Ziyi from the front line.

Guo Ziyi took back Huayin again, but An Qingxu still had a heart for Luoyang. Recently, he received food and grass support from historians, and once again launched a fight for Huayin.

But this time the Tang army resisted An Qingxu's attack, but the losses were still heavy, so Guo Ziyi asked the court to give the whole army compensation money and reward the soldiers who fought bravely.

At the same time, the emperor was also reading the report sent by Li Fuguo, who supervised the army on the front line.

Seeing this, the emperor's blood pressure went up again, and the front line came to ask for money every now and then, and the army in Luoyang was almost eating up the court!

According to Guo Ziyi, An Qingxu is now launching an offensive regardless of spring plowing. Although Hedong has rebelled again, Hedong did not immediately send troops to support An Qingxu. This is because Hedong is plowing in spring to accumulate strength.

Therefore, Guo Ziyi thought that An Qingxu was just a minor problem. He only needed to wait until summer, and An Qingxu would be defeated naturally due to lack of food and grass.

But now the situation of the Tang court is that he can't afford it anymore!

The water and land of the Bian River were silted up, and An Qingxu was harassing the water transport in Zizhou. From this point of view, the Tang court did not know whether it could last until summer.

Thinking of this, Li Heng put the ink pen in his hand on the case.

At this time, Mu Rong held the memorial sent by the Zhengshitang and presented the memorial to the emperor.

Li Heng opened the memorial, his eyes lit up involuntarily!
The East Palace was actually sold, oh, don't let the common people donate [-] quotas for supervising students, and now the money has been delivered to the Ministry of Households!

When he heard that 5000 million yuan had been piled up at the door of Duzhi, the emperor was about to dance, but his blood pressure surged, and Li Heng staggered and fell.

Mu Rong, who had sharp eyesight and quick hands, immediately rushed forward, supported the emperor, and let Li Heng sit on the dragon chair slowly.

When Li Heng recovered, he gave Mu Rong a look of approval, and then finished reading the memorial with dizziness.

After seeing the opinions of the prime minister in the political affairs hall behind, Li Heng picked up the ink pen and said:
"The prime ministers are still too conservative. The East Palace is able to raise so many donated prisons this time, and it is capable of doing things. Even if the Guozijian accepts [-] prison students, it is not enough to live in. Let the Ministry of Rites verify the identities of these donated prisons. If If there is no problem, let Guozijian make a record!"

Making a register in the Imperial College is equivalent to having a student status in the Imperial College, that is, having the qualifications to supervise students. Obviously, after Li Heng saw the 5000 million yuan, he couldn't bear to spit out half of it.

In the end, the emperor made a final decision on this matter. The household department accepted 5000 million yuan, and then immediately distributed the arrears of the officials' salaries.

Then the emperor immediately ordered the household department to withdraw 1000 million yuan from Duzhi, and sent it to the front line to comfort the soldiers guarding Luoyang. He also symbolically allocated a sum of money to the river yamen near the Bianhe River, asking them to immediately rectify the water transportation of the Bianhe River. Try our best to ensure the smooth flow of water transportation!
It's just that both Li Heng and the officials in the court who are proficient in water transport know that the water transport of the Bianhe River cannot be dredged with this little money.

At this time, standing on the edge of the Bian River, a player is drawing the water system map of the Bian River.
