Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 234 The news arrives, the unlucky Guo Shangshu
In fact, Guo Yunhou originally thought that if he could copy at most two or three million taels this time, it would be considered too much.

He thought about 300 million taels and gave 50% to His Majesty, but there were also [-] million taels, which should be enough for His Majesty to reward those soldiers.

But what he never expected was that the amount of money was huge beyond his imagination, it was 6000 million taels of silver!

Not 60, not 600 million, but 6000 million!
How much is the tax revenue of the court for a year now? 400 million at most 500 million taels.

This 6000 million is how many times the annual tax of the imperial court?
10 to 12 times!
That is equivalent to the property that the imperial court can save for ten years, or even 12 years without eating or drinking.

Unexpectedly, after copying eight profiteers, they have obtained so much, they can be said to be incomparably rich!

No!More than just an enemy country!
They are richer than the country!

At this moment, Guo Yunhou deeply felt that Zhu Youjian did the right thing!
These low-level businessmen dare to hide such a huge amount of property, what do they want?
Don't they know that the imperial court is struggling financially now?The family has such a huge property that they don't even know to use it to support the court, but hide it all!
They really didn't feel at ease!

Good copy!Good copy!

This kind of profiteer should copy a few more!

Wouldn't it be possible to have one million taels?
Alright~ Our Lord Guo has been fascinated by this huge amount of money, and now he just wants to copy a few more companies and get more money.

If he had known that these profiteers were actually so rich, how could he, Guo Yunhou, have been in such a miserable life since he became the Minister of the Household Department, and everyone was asking him for money as the Minister of the Household Department!

But his family is not a gold mine digger, the annual court tax is only a little, and it will be spent in one go. Where can he find money for them?

This is simply embarrassing his old Guo! ! !

If he had known that these profiteers had so much money, he would have forced Zhu Youjian to ransack the house without Zhu Youjian's hands!

silver!

Doesn't it smell?

It is very fragrant! ! !
He absolutely loves it!This is simply a good medicine to solve all the sufferings in the world!
Guo Yunhou was excited, he had already started to calculate how much money he could get after taking [-]% of the treasury.

"Six eight 48! Forty eight million taels!"

sky!His old Guo has never seen so much money in his life, not even in the treasury!

This time it is really going to be posted!

It's a pity that he is destined to be only a dream, Zhu Youjian will not really let him take [-]% of it!
Seeing that everyone was in a daze, Zhu Youjian immediately made a decision and said directly: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, I will take a step back and give [-]% of this money to the national treasury, and the rest will be filled into internal funds. That's it. , no further discussion!

Let's discuss now whether we are still Lingchi or pretending to be grass for those members of the eight families! "

Hearing that His Majesty has hastily decided on a plan to only give [-]% to the national treasury, Guo Yunhou, who was still in a daze, immediately came back to his senses, and opened his mouth to display his three-inch tongue and thick ratio The face of the city wall refuted His Majesty.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Youjian's reaction was faster than him!
Before he could open his mouth, Zhu Youjian waved his hand and shouted to the outside: "Come on, Guo Shangshu is old and in poor health, and now the discussion on money matters has been completed, immediately send Guo Shangshu back to the mansion to rest, Come back when you have enough energy!"

Guo Yunhou's eyes widened sharply when he heard this, and he was about to say something when he saw Zhu Youjian's disbelieving expression, but he still didn't have time.

The already clever general Han rushed into the hall as early as the moment Zhu Youjian's words came out, supported our Guo Shangshu on the left and right, and walked out, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless!
"Your Majesty! The old minister is in good health! I'm fine! I don't need to rest yet! I think I can do it! I still have something to say! The share is not good! No!!! Really not!!!

Let go of this old man!Let go of the old man! ! !Dry collar!The old man asked you to let go of the old man, did you hear me! ! !Let go of this old man! ! !woo woo woo..."

Poor Guo Shangshu was finally taken out because of his poor health. No matter how he yelled, even crying was useless, he was taken away from the Hall of Supreme Harmony crying.

why is he crying
That's because he knew that what he lost after being rested was tens of millions of taels of silver!

Who can not cry?

After Guo Yunhou's big trouble was dealt with, Zhu Youjian looked at all the officials below who were dumbfounded at what he had done, grinned, and said with a sunny face: "Hahaha, all Aiqing, look, Guo Aiqing Sure enough, he is getting older, and he is obviously very tired, but he insists that he is not tired, this is exhausting nonsense!

Although I have just ascended the throne not long ago, Brother Huang also told me before that I should take good care of these humerus old ministers as today, after all, each of them is the pillar of my Ming today, even if any of them are tired because of fatigue. And if you fall down, it's all my loss, Daming!
So, for the sake of my Ming's future, how can I make Guo Aiqing so tired? Now that there is no Guo Aiqing's business here, it is better to let him, a humerus veteran, rest more.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you think so? "

Zhu Youjian looked at Baiguan with a smile and asked.

Looking at the "friendly" smile of the current Holy Majesty, and then looking back at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which seemed to be echoing with Guo Shangshu's unwilling crying.

All the officials nodded in unison, saluted together and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

This wave!They're not cowardly, they're just... from the heart!
For the first time, they realized the shamelessness of their own emperor!
But there is nothing to do!

Zhu Youjian grinned, and sat back on the dragon chair, and then everyone began to discuss how to deal with the eight families.

After everyone's deliberation, everyone finally decided that all the relatives and friends of the eight families and nine clans would be executed for treason!

And the patriarchs of the eight families will spend [-] knives in front of the people in the capital outside the Meridian Gate at noon tomorrow!

Not more than one knife!One knife can't be less!The most skilled executioner must be invited to carry out the execution.

They must pay the price for what they did, so as to set an example to others!

The imperial court wants to warn all businessmen in the whole world through this incident, and let them know the fate of traitors who have no bottom line and cooperate with the enemy for profit!

After setting the rules for the end of the get out of class, Zhu Youjian asked the officials of Honglu Temple to announce his withdrawal from the court.

After leaving court, Zhu Youjian went straight back to Dongnuan Pavilion. He was going to start dealing with today's government affairs. The court meeting is now held once a week, but government affairs cannot be like this. Many government affairs have to be dealt with on the same day, so every day except for the morning court That day, Zhu Youjian was buried in the pile of government affairs and couldn't lift his head when he got up together the rest of the time.

This is because many trivial matters have been pushed to the cabinet, and these government affairs need to be personally approved before they can be dealt with.

Otherwise, if even those trivial matters are counted, then he doesn't have to do anything else for the day, just deal with these government affairs.

Then Zhu Youjian, who had just returned to Dongnuange and was about to deal with government affairs, received a message, a message that made his face instantly solemn.

The news of the begging army has arrived!

Soon, Huang Liji and other five elders, who also just arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion to deal with the government affairs of the day, received Zhu Youjian's order, telling them to quickly put down everything in their hands and go to Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss matters immediately!
ps. The second update!
