Chapter 122 Hu Weiyong

80 taels!

This is real gold and silver!

Since coming to Lingnan, any official must at least know what to use if he wants to consume in Lingnan.

King Qin’s treasure!

This is something that is independent of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, but has a similar circulation function to the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.

But unlike the continuous depreciation of the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes, since the birth of the Qin Wang's treasure banknotes, the exchange price of Qin Wang's treasure banknotes with gold, silver, and copper coins has been maintained very well!
Therefore, they all know what the 80 taels of these people represent.

80 Qin Wang treasure notes!
To put it bluntly, it is 80 silver.

How much money is this?

At that time, it was almost worth the tax of a provincial highway.

For example, with the development of Lingnan Road last year, the total tax revenue was only over 300 million taels.

This is Lingnan.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only this one.

Then there is Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, which pays taxes twice a year, with a total of only more than 200 million yuan.

For poorer people, such as Yandi, the annual tax of a provincial road is less than 80 taels!
So, it's a lot of money.

In the Ming Dynasty, many ordinary families could hardly earn ten taels of silver in their lifetime.

This is real.

At that time, the monthly salary of the maids or servants of the official families in the capital was generally only [-] to [-] yuan, not even one tael of silver. However, the maids and servants of these official families were already among the best among ordinary people. 's existence.

Many people want to be maids or servants, but they don't have this life.

But if they want to earn ten taels of silver, it will take them about two years.

80 taels was definitely a huge sum of money at the time!
However, now someone actually spends such a huge sum of money to buy an old piece of clothing worn by King Qin...

Can Hu Weiyong not be shocked?

He was even thinking that if such a good thing was true, would he, the prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, be able to sell used clothes?

Don’t ask for more, half...ah no, 10 taels...even 1 taels will do!
Hu Weiyong was jealous.

The charity sale ended successfully.

The bet between Zhu Xi and Queen Ma was won by Zhu Xi.

Empress Ma was also very happy. The clothes she made for her son were sold at a very high price. When word spread about this, it would help the love between mothers and children all over the world.

Moreover, the King of Qin sold the clothes made by his mother to provide disaster relief, which also played a role in nurturing others by putting filial piety first.

As for winning or losing the bet, Queen Ma didn't mind much.

Anyway, she lost and came to Lingnan to live for a month.

She had wanted to come for a long time.

Moreover, without that bad old man, she also enjoyed a month of quiet time with her son.

After it was over, Zhu Xi immediately helped Queen Ma leave.

Filial piety!
Naturally, make the full set.

Empress Ma said to Zhu Xi, "Don't worry, tonight the Empress will discuss with your father the matter of me coming to stay for a month after you and Yun'er get married."

"My child knows that mother never breaks her promise." Zhu Xi grinned.

"Then why are you so obedient and helping me?" Queen Ma didn't understand what Zhu Xi meant.

Zhu Xi smiled and said: "Mother, my sons and ministers are fulfilling their filial piety."

Queen Ma reacted immediately and nodded with satisfaction.I couldn't help but feel happy...

The second child is finally sensible!
Yes, Queen Ma is a mother, a very ordinary mother.

She had no doubt that her child's temperament had changed drastically within a year, and she was only happy about it.

On the other side, Hu Weiyong took several of his cronies to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, please give your Majesty's instructions on how to deal with the matter reported by Prime Minister Zuo!" Chen Ning bowed and spoke.

"Presented?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled and suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, I remembered that I did receive the memorial from Prime Minister Zuo today, but I didn't have time to read it. I was busy with other things at the time... Now It's getting late and I'm tired. King Qin said that after participating in a debate tomorrow afternoon, he can go to Panyu Mansion. At that time, I will hold another court meeting. If you have anything, please solve it at the court meeting! "

The emperor hasn't read the memorial yet?
Chen Ning and Hu Weiyong naturally didn't believe it.

This is the Prime Minister's memorial.

Is there anything more important than the Prime Minister's memorial?

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear that he was stalling for time.

Despite this, Chen Ning was not two hundred and five, and he knew not to say anything more.

Otherwise, it will backfire.

It might even anger Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hu Weiyong, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

After returning to his residence, Chen Ning immediately came to see him and asked: "En Xiang, what do the emperor's words mean today?"

"Nothing but two meanings!"

Hu Weiyong analyzed: "The first is that the emperor is determined to protect King Qin. But every crime I have reported is extremely serious, and it is extremely difficult for him to protect him."

"But if the emperor is determined to cover up, it will be difficult for us to get King Qin to punish him!" Chen Ning said helplessly.

"Not bad!"

Hu Weiyong said: "So if it's the first case, we can only settle for the second best. The best result is to prevent King Qin from taking the position of crown prince. Otherwise... the position of crown prince will be temporarily vacant."

There was something else to say later, but Hu Weiyong did not say it clearly.

He also spent many more years continuing to develop his own power in the court.

"Enxiang, what about the second situation?" Chen Ning asked.

Hu Weiyong said: "The second situation is that His Majesty read the memorial and then hesitated in his heart. He was in a dilemma. After all, King Qin was his biological son. However, precisely because of his biological son, he had a very Wealthy Lingnan... hmph, everyone is innocent and guilty!"

"Enxiang is saying that the emperor may also have intentions to disturb the King of Qin and then take back the wealth of Lingnan to the imperial court?" Chen Ning heard what Hu Weiyong meant here, and then his face lit up and he said with a smile: "If so, That’s actually a good thing!”

"Confused!"

Hu Weiyong said: "In that case, it will be bad! Have you forgotten? Now where are the truth and you, the officials, the emperor, queen, and prince?"

"Lingnan...ah!"

Chen Ning was shocked.

He suddenly thought that this was Zhu Ping's territory, so he hurriedly asked: "En Xiang, if the emperor really wants to abolish King Qin, what should we do?"

"Of course we must persuade the emperor to take back his order!"

Hu Weiyong said in a deep voice: "If the emperor really has such intention, we will also advise the emperor not to act in this way, but we can only follow the emperor's advice and finally ask the court to send officials to Lingnan... This is also the most important thing about the truth. Hope to see the scene!"

The wily Hu Weiyong has already counted several changes.

But, he just didn't expect that his impeachment would fail...

Each of those six charges is true.

How could it fail?
