Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 233 The Shocked Officials

Beijing.

At this time, it was the time of the early morning dynasty.

Zhu Youjian was sitting on the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, listening to the reports of the courtiers below.

There are many things to discuss at the court meeting today, but there are only two main things among them. One is the current resettlement of the people in Shaanxi and other four places.

Although after Sun Chengzong's disposal, most of the people have returned to their parents and settled down again, but this turmoil has caused a bad impact on many people after all. Some people still go home, but some people have already The family is broken.

For this part of the people, the imperial court needs to focus on it. After all, once a civil disturbance occurs, it must start from this part of the people. In order to nip the danger in the bud, the imperial court must focus on appeasing these people and give them enough compensation. He settled down again and settled down.

These trivial matters were quickly resolved under the proposal of the princes of the court. Although the final solution still could not make up for the pain in the hearts of these people, it was indeed enough to restore peace to these people. of life.

Although Zhu Youjian was still a little dissatisfied with this coping method, after thinking about it, he had to admit that this was the best resettlement plan so far, so in the end Zhu Youjian nodded and confirmed this plan.

After the matter was dealt with, the court meeting came to the second topic of the day.

Regarding the disposal of the eight profiteer families in Shanxi that caused this turmoil!
Zhu Youjian was sitting on the dragon chair, and only after the courtiers who had played the role had retreated did he slowly open his mouth and said: "My dearest relatives, have you reached a conclusion about the disposal plan of those families in Shanxi? "

As soon as Zhu Youjian's voice fell, an old man among the officials immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I don't care what the old officials do with those families, but since these families are arresting and confiscating their homes in the name of the court, the old officials feel that they family property should be filled into the national treasury, not internal money!"

The old man who stood up was none other than Guo Yunhou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!

Seeing this stingy old man stand up, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but rubbed his forehead with a headache, how could he forget about this guy?
Once it has something to do with money, the old man will bite his tongue to death. Now it seems that he is eyeing the properties of the eight families, but Zhu Youjian has long regarded the properties of the eight families as his pocket How can you let go of something so easy?

Zhu Youjian immediately coughed lightly, looked around and said, "Ahem, Guo Aiqing, we are now discussing how to deal with the eight families, not their property. We will discuss this matter later. Let's discuss it first." Let's talk about how to deal with them!"

However, Guo Yunhou is such a foolish person that he won't let Zhu Youjian change the subject at all.

He said directly: "Your Majesty! Since we are discussing the disposal of those families, their property is naturally within the scope of disposal, so why not participate in the discussion?
There is no room for further discussion on this matter, and there must be an answer about the ownership of those properties at present!
His Majesty!The treasury is empty! ! ! "

In the end, Guo Yunhou directly took out his trump card.

"Cry poor!"

His howl suddenly made Zhu Youjian embarrassed. After all, what he said was indeed true. Although the current national treasury has been supplemented by the business tax and other taxes collected by the Huangming Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, the court couldn't stand it every day. They are all spending a huge amount of money, and the collected money has not been spent in the treasury for long.

Today's treasury has once again returned to the situation where even mice don't bother to visit.

But he was reluctant to let Zhu Youjian let go. He already knew the approximate amount of property brought back this time. According to Luo Tianyong, it was 6000 million taels of silver!
That's 6000 million!

Who is willing to let go?

That is no longer pure silver, but mountains of gold and silver!
But Zhu Youjian knew that if he didn't give Guo Yunhou some points this morning, the old man would never give up easily, so after thinking for a while, Zhu Youjian came up with a compromise method and said: "Guo Aiqing, although the arrest The arrest of those families was done in the name of the imperial court, but it was my sons and daughters who carried out the action.

In any case, these sons and daughters have made great achievements this time, and I will reward them. If all the money from the house raids is filled into the treasury, then I will not be able to account for them.

How about this, I also know the current situation of the national treasury, so I also understand Guo Aiqing's desire to fill the national treasury.

So I decided to take [-]% of the money from the house raids and put it into the national treasury, and the rest will go into my internal money, so I can use it to reward the soldiers, what do you think? "

In Zhu Youjian's mind, the amount of money was as high as more than 6000 million taels, even if he only took out 600%, it would be a full [-] million taels!

It should be enough to satisfy the old man Guo Yunhou, right?
But what Zhu Youjian didn't expect was that after listening to his proposal, the old man Guo Yunhou flatly refused: "Your Majesty is too stingy. Even if those soldiers reward them again, there is no need to spend [-]% of them as rewards." ?
How about this, I feel that [-]% of the national treasury, [-]% as their reward must be enough, what do you think, Your Majesty? "

Hearing Guo Yunhou's insatiable words, Zhu Youjian almost twisted his nose in anger. This dead old man is already enough to give him face. Originally, if I was willing to spend the money, even if I didn't give out a penny, he could still Come and bite yourself?
Now that I see that it is not easy for him to do things, I spend several million taels to make him work. I never thought that not only is he not satisfied, but he wants to take [-]% of it directly and leave [-]% for me!

Your face is too big!
Zhu Youjian's face darkened in an instant, and he said with an ugly face: "Guo Aiqing, don't push yourself too hard, I have already made concessions, how can you be so greedy.

You have such a big appetite, 6000 million taels, and you actually want to take [-]% of it, leaving only [-]% for me and the soldiers. Do you think you have such a big stomach to eat this money? "

As soon as Zhu Youjian said this, a scene that he never expected appeared!

At the moment when the words 6000 million taels came out of his mouth, the entire court hall was extremely silent for an instant, everyone's eyes widened instantly, and their mouths opened slightly, all of them looked shocked. Looks speechless.

And Guo Yunhou is no exception, this old man is now completely stupid, staring at Zhu Youjian in a daze, not knowing what to do, but his eyes have already started to sparkle, a trace of crystal slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth and muttered: "6000 million taels! My God!

I have known for a long time that these profiteers make money, but I never expected that their family property is so rich. If all the 6000 million taels are filled into the national treasury, wouldn't this old man... wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be...wouldn't it be necessary for the Ministry of Households to pay for the shortage? Are you worried about money? ! ! "

Looking at the current state of the courtiers, Zhu Youjian suddenly realized that he had said something wrong. They don't know how much money they stole into Beijing, right?
Didn't he expose himself this time?
