After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 52 The Three Major Events Together
"Only tens of thousands of taels of silver will be left for the emperor, and the rest will belong to your household? Lu Chang, you are so brave!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.Is there a treasury behind the emperor?When we want to build a new palace, I'm afraid you will say that this is a waste of money and the country is not beneficial, and you keep crying in front of us and you are not willing to give money, right?

"Old minister...Old minister has made a blunder, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive him." After Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened, Lu Chang's voice trembled, but he still took the corner of his eyes to aim at the pile of gold and silver jewelry.

"Lu Chang, it seems that you are still thinking about asking for our money!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, old minister, I really want His Majesty's silver, not just in general, but very much." Lu Chang said, "With this 5000 million taels of silver, the household department will become rich immediately. Then it can affect the entire The country, let Ming Dynasty prosper, let the people live in peace..."

"Your Majesty, the old minister desperately wants the money, and it is entirely for my sake! If your majesty refuses to give it, the old minister will keep kowtowing to you until you die, and the old minister can be regarded as a request for the people."

"You need money even if you die? You, the Minister of the Household, are too greedy for money, aren't you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, this old minister is not greedy for himself, but for the country and the people of the world." Lu Chang said.

"However, do you think it is appropriate to use the emperor's private money to enrich the treasury?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The emperor himself also wants money. If the emperor has no money, what can he use to build a palace and hold a banquet?"

"Your Majesty..." Lu Chang said, "If it's a big deal, if you want to build a palace or have a big banquet, the old minister just needs to turn one eye and close one eye. Allow the emperor to spend a little bit, and acquiesce to the emperor's life a little extravagant."

"What if we want to send troops?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.This is his real purpose.

Zhu Yuanzhang now has plans to expand his territory, and the most difficult part of starting a war is that he must face the collective opposition of scholars.Lu Chang was also one of the clear streamers. At that time, he was against starting the war on the pretext that the Ministry of Household had no money.

"If Your Majesty wants to send troops, the Ministry of Household will definitely support it with all his strength, and he will never say that he has no money." Lu Chang said very seriously.

"That's about the same." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The money is our own. We just put it in your household department temporarily, and it is considered as a loan to the household department. If you dare to say that the household department has no money, we will let you You return the 5000 million taels first."

"Your Majesty is willing to hand over the money to the state treasury?" Lu Chang was overjoyed when he heard the words, "This old minister is for the people of the world, thank you for your majesty!" I thought that I should get the money first. .

Before you get the money, you are the uncle. After you get it, the household who borrowed the money is the uncle.

By the time you want the household to pay back the money, most of the money will probably be spent, and even if you think about it, you won't be able to pay it back.

"Okay, ask someone to bring the money back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Besides, it won't be long before the Ministry of Household has [-] million taels of silver left in the account. We also lent the [-] million taels to the Ministry of Household." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"There are still [-] million taels of silver?" Lu Chang was stunned.He was the minister of household in the Yuan Dynasty, and now he is the minister of household in the Ming Dynasty, but the treasury of the two dynasties never had a huge deposit of hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

He has seen money, but he has never seen hundreds of millions of dollars in his life.

"Your Majesty is really a person who supports the entire household!" Lu Chang sighed,
"Your Majesty is truly a god!"

……

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Linjiang, Chen De, asked to see him. He brought five carriages into the palace." At this time, Mao Xiang appeared behind him like a ghost and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Look, the silver giver is here, and this time he sent 500 million taels." Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Lu Chang with a cold expression when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty, will the 500 million taels be transported here as well, and then the veterans will also transport it to the treasury?" Lu Chang asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and strode forward, followed by Mao Xiang. "Chen De sees His Majesty." Outside the palace gate, Linjiang Marquis Chen De met Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Chen De, you sold the character we gave you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, it will be sold at last." Chen Dedao, "The entire five million taels of silver are in the carriage."

"Take it!" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned cold.

"Your Majesty, the last general is innocent!" Chen De, who was pressed to the ground by the imperial army, raised his head and looked at the emperor with a blank face, "Your Majesty, the last general is innocent, not only innocent but also meritorious, because the last general is the first sell words."

"Did you really sell it, and who did you sell it to?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "You paid for it yourself, you are guilty of deceiving the emperor. You are a little Hou Shilu with only one thousand and five dollars. Baishi, where did you get 500 million taels of silver? When you attacked Quzhou, you beheaded all the wealthy households in Quzhou, seized their wealth, and killed their heads for meritorious service..."

"Your fortune should have been saved at that time, right?"

"Send it to Meridian Gate to be beheaded, then search the house, and send all the money to the Ministry of Household."

"Leadership!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang, you son of a bitch, I followed you to fight the world back then, and I went through dozens of battles. Now that you have won the country, you will kill all our heroes. You alone enjoy the glory and wealth?" Chen De He yelled, "Zhu Yuanzhang, history books are like iron, you will be stinky for thousands of years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to turn around and leave. The reason why he didn't deal with them before was because the situation did not allow it.If Chen De just plundered the money back then, he would have tolerated it, but he would have taken credit for destroying all the wealthy households, and he would not be forgiven.Moreover, Chen De did not hand over the huge wealth after plundering it, but private possession also made him a big taboo.

As for Chen De's last scolding, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about killing the hero after he got the country.

He has made up his mind to be a single husband.

No matter how the history books record in the future, he only needs to be good to the people and have a clear conscience.

History pens are all in the hands of literate scholars. He has offended many scholars, offended aristocratic families, and offended Qingliu. He has long expected that he will be smeared by them in the future.

And most of the people who got the benefits are illiterate, they can only read Zhu Yuanzhang's good in their hearts, and can't record it.

"Call Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Liu Bowen, Wang Guangyang, Yang Xian, and Lu Chang to come and see you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said when he returned to the imperial study.

Soon, several people came to the imperial study.

"Now that the Ministry of Household has money, I want you to discuss three major issues." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The first one is to encourage farming to resume production, the second one, who to send to exterminate bandits in the provinces, and the third one, who will be the imperial minister. Disaster relief in Henan and Shandong.”
