Chapter 186 Fundraising
Mu Junze frowned slightly: "Brother Huang, although there is some spare money in my brother's house, it's still far from 4 taels, and it's about 5000 taels when we put it together. I'm afraid I have to think of a way to get the rest."

"En." Mu Junyan nodded slightly, not doubting the authenticity of these words at all, and even slightly surprised, after all, as the lord of a country, he only had more than 1 taels of cash in his private treasury.He, a prince who is not in charge, can have so much spare money, it's amazing, probably because his father was eccentric and secretly left him a lot of good things.

"The point is, what can be done?" Mu Junyan seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be complaining: "Those ministers, if you ask them, I'm afraid they will all cry poorly with me. Relying on them, we can't raise money." to how much."

"Brother Huang, there is a way for my ministers, not to mention asking them to help you with all their money, at least not dare to perfunctory Your Majesty." As soon as Mu Junze finished speaking, Mu Junyan showed great interest. Generally speaking, decide to act according to plan now.

On the second day when he went to the court, all the ministers were surprised to see King Yan standing there, and wanted to find out why, but King Yan was still expressionless as usual, making it hard to get close to him, so they had to give up.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Mu Junyan said coldly: "King Yan, do you know why I called you to the morning court today?"

"I don't know, please ask the emperor to make it clear." I have to say that Mu Junze's paralyzed face is really useful for acting, because he only needs to speak with a deadpan expression, and others can't see any clues at all.

"Show him, what is this!" Mu Junyan acted very angry on purpose, and handed a pearl in his hand to Director Li. Director Li carefully walked down the hall with a handkerchief on his hand, passing by the front rows When he was a minister, he deliberately lifted it up for them to see.As soon as he arrived in front of Mu Junze, Mu Junyan said angrily again: "Pearls from the South China Sea can be regarded as rare and rare treasures, but such treasures, I heard that Prince Yan's Mansion has a box!"

Mu Junyan paused, then looked around at the ministers and said, "If someone hadn't reported it last night, I really wouldn't believe that Prince Yan's Mansion is so rich!"

As soon as the words were finished, almost all the ministers in the palace trembled, because they knew in their hearts that King Yan's family was not the only ones that were burglarized in the mansion last night.So everyone bowed their heads in silence, secretly observing the development of the situation.

"My majesty, it is true that there are pearls in the minister's mansion, but they are all obtained from my younger brother's management over the years. I don't know what's wrong?" Mu Junze's tone was cold, making the surrounding ministers sweat for him .

"Serious business? You are an idle prince, you don't take power and don't care about things, what serious business can you do?" Mu Junyan questioned mercilessly.

"With some rewards from the former emperor, plus the salary of my ministers, I can buy a farm in the suburbs, open a small restaurant and a small incense shop in the city, as long as I manage it carefully, it is not difficult to have some surplus money in a few years. That box The pearls were not earned by me, they were given by their family when my father was alive, and when I was traveling in the southern border, I accidentally rescued a noble son who fell into the water." Mu Junze said calmly After that, he paused and said: "The South Sea pearls have been stored for many years, and they will not be used anyway. If the emperor likes them, I will send someone to the palace right away, okay?"

Mu Junyan's face turned cloudy and he said: "It seems that you are all richer than me!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace had a bad feeling, what do you mean by "you"?This made them even more certain that the emperor was talking about King Yan on the surface, but he was actually implying to the officials all the time: I have already figured out your family background!
"Alas..." Mu Junyan sighed: "What do I want you South Sea Pearl to do, but there is a difficult matter recently, I really need your help, I wonder if King Yan is willing?"

Mu Junze responded: "Your Majesty, as long as you can do what your majesty tells you, you will never be excused."

"Okay!" Mu Junyan stood up from the dragon chair: "Beizhen lion opened his mouth and wanted to pay 5 taels. Now I'm still short of 4 taels. How much can King Yan support?"

Hearing this, all the officials were covered in cold sweat.They were all robbed last night at their house. Although they lost all good things, they were not many. I was secretly glad that they only needed to be strictly guarded in the future, but I didn't expect that the thieves yesterday turned out to be Ouchi's , the target is not those things, but waiting here!
Now that their family property has been checked, even if the emperor didn't find out all of it, they dare not joke about their future and life, not to mention that a lot of the money came from wrong sources. If it is found out, Isn't it a loss of people and wealth?It's better to donate it to the emperor, he can still read it well.

But they didn't know how much to pay, so they all looked at King Yan desperately to see how much he would pay before making a decision.

"5000 taels." Mu Junze made some calculations and reported the number.

All the officials gasped, their hearts sank to their heels.Originally, I thought that King Yan would only offer 3000 taels at most, so it would not be ugly if he reported more than 1000 taels. Who knew that he would fight so hard, and the price was 5000 taels. How good is this?

Mu Junyan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! This is equivalent to your Yan Palace's financial resources!" After finishing speaking, he struck while the iron was hot: "Everyone loves you, King Yan is generous, I wonder what you have done?"

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the emperor, for fear that they would be the first to be singled out. You know, it is too difficult to make an offer after 5000 taels. You can't really go bankrupt to support the royal family, right?

Seeing that everyone was not active, Mu Junyan couldn't help panicking. He glanced at Mu Junze and saw him nod slightly with a calm expression. Mu Junyan followed the previous discussion and took Xu Zhizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to operate first.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of engineering and water conservancy, and it is a place that cannot be fatter.As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, even if Xu Zhizhong wanted to be honest, he would inevitably be hunted by a group of people, and he was already unclean.Yesterday, Mu Junze's hidden guards gained the most from his house, a night pearl in a hollowed-out golden sachet with pearls in it was priceless.

Although Xu Zhizhong felt distressed, he was even more afraid of getting into trouble. He weighed it over and over again, and finally settled on the number of 4000 taels in his heart.

However, when he heard that he was the first person the emperor asked, he felt uneasy again. He was afraid that if he overreported, he would suffer losses and be suspected of corruption and pervert the law, and if underreporting, the emperor would be unhappy. It was really a dilemma.But after thinking about it, the emperor probably knew that the mansion was stolen yesterday.Forget it, let's think of it as a waste of money to eliminate disasters, so he was cruel and reported 500 taels.

Xu Shangshu was sweating, but the emperor just hummed lightly, then turned to the officials beside him and said, "Xu Shangshu paid 500 taels, and King Yan gave 5000 taels. Everyone present, I don't know what to say." Name, please report the amount one by one!" While speaking, he motioned for Eunuch Li to record.

All the people present were made out of human spirits. Seeing this posture, they all generously donated their money and dared not say more.
