Chapter 1530: Big and small foxes

I really don't know, I'm shocked!

There are almost one million children of military households across the country. This number is undeniable, and perhaps there are only a few but not many.

Even if each person is given 10 taels of silver according to the minimum standard, this requires at least 1 million taels of silver.The annual income of the Ming treasury is less than 200 million taels. In other words, it takes the court 5 years to save up the money without eating or drinking.

What's more, judging from Tang Shaozhe's point of view, no matter what, the money must be able to be used as settling expenses.

If it is used for settling expenses, in terms of the average purchasing power of the present era, it would cost at least 50 taels of silver.The children of military households worth more than 100 million will be compensated with 50 taels of silver each, which is 5 million taels. Even if Zhu Di is sold, it will not be enough!Plane Travel Guide 1530

"My lord, I did promise to grant you a condition, but I can't get the money anyway. Even if I agree, it can only be empty talk. My imperial decree cannot be changed into real money. where!"

Although Zhu Di's arithmetic level is average, the resettlement fee for millions of children from military households does not matter how much they need to spend.With the income of the Ming treasury, it is impossible to afford it.After being reminded, Tang Shaozhe calculated quietly, but immediately had no choice.

He is very clear about the annual financial income of the Ming court, so it shocked him far more than Zhu Di.Seeing that Ming Chengzu was at his wit's end, Master Guo Shi couldn't come up with any good solutions.

But no matter how difficult this matter was, he had to do it, after all, he was the one who brought them to such a miserable state.If he couldn't make up for it, Tang Shangxian would feel uneasy for the rest of his life.After he thought hard for a long time, it really made him come up with an idea.

"Your Majesty, if the court can't support it, then let me bear it. However, the amount of money is too large. In the final analysis, it is for the court to solve the trouble. Your Majesty must pay me back, right?"

Originally, Zhu Di was quite happy to hear the solution. He had heard that Tang Shangxian had made a lot of money in the past two years, but he didn't expect to use it at a critical moment.Unexpectedly, Master Guo Shi didn't plan to do it for nothing, and asked him to pay back the debt.Are you kidding me?I have no money!

Of course, you can't refuse at the first glance, first ask: "I don't know how much the National Teacher is planning to spend this time?"

Tang Shaozhe was naturally not polite, and began to calculate directly according to his standard: "If the children of millions of military families are calculated according to the minimum standard of 50 taels of silver per person, it will be..."

This time, before he even finished speaking, Zhu Di interrupted him in a panic: "How much? 50 taels per person?"

Are you ready to steal it?I have never heard of 50 taels of silver per person for the settlement fee!In fact, it is normal not to give money, if you are willing to give 3 or 5 taels of silver, it is even more generous.You are giving 50 taels to disrupt the market, right?

Tang Shaozhe didn't find it strange at all, and questioned, "50 taels of silver isn't much, is it? In the capital, it's just a low-end house, and it's only 100 taels of rice. Isn't this a lot of money?"

Zhu Di just froze on his seat and didn't dare to say anything, just kept smashing, smashing his mouth: Tsk tsk, if 50 taels of silver is not much, what is too much? If 100 shi of rice is converted into catties, that is a full 3 catties.

Even if this person has such a big appetite that he eats a catty of rice for every meal, the grain is enough for him to last for 51 years.No matter how long you can live, you should die if you eat 50 years of dry food for nothing, right?Where is your settling fee?It's clearly money for your life!

But Zhu Di didn't calculate so quickly, he just instinctively felt that 50 taels of silver was not a small amount.Ming Chengzu is not a person who does not touch the sun and spring water with his five fingers. He lived in the folk when he was young.

But seeing Zhu Di's constipated expression, Tang Shaozhe also knew that he might have said something.Then I came to the above conclusion by mental calculation, the rice bought by this money is enough for one person to eat for 1 years until death.

Well, that's a lot of money if that's the case.Although there are no other items included in the daily living expenses, Tang Shaozhe also understands that this money should be enough for these military households to settle down and tide over the difficulties.

"Well, Your Majesty, this amount of money is indeed a lot. It will cost almost 5000 million taels of silver, and the treasury may not be able to pay it..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the teacup in Zhu Di's hand drop to the ground and shatter.His Majesty the Emperor only knew that it would cost a lot of money, but no matter what, he didn't know that it would cost so much money!

"How much...how much...how much?" Zhu Di's face was full of disbelief, as if he was about to cry: "It actually costs 5...5...5000 million taels of silver?" Plane Travel Guide 1530

"Well, maybe more. That's not counting the number of operating expenses, it may be more."

If it was said that Zhu Di just found out that this was wrong based on his feeling before, it might cost an astronomical amount of money.So now he is almost sure of it immediately, no matter how extravagant the talk about this matter is, he will never let go.

After being surprised, Zhu Di quickly returned to normal, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It is reasonable to say that this money should not be borne by the national teacher, but the imperial court's annual revenue is only so small, even if I want to do it, I really have no power to do it! So if Master Guoshi wants me to pay back the money, there is really no money to pay back. If Tang Shangxian doesn't do it, then I can only watch them struggling to survive."

Of course Tang Shaozhe knew that this was Zhu Di's truth. This amount of money was the sum of the central government's revenue for 25 years. However, since he figured out the price he needed to pay, he never planned to ask the court to pay for it.

Not to mention that there is no such concept in the concept of the modern era, even if there is, it will not be able to spend so much money!Showing the number now is actually just for Zhu Di to see.

Now I have to pay a full 5000 million taels of silver for you, so it's unreasonable not to give me some benefits.

Zhu Di smiled wryly and nodded, and admitted: "This is true. I also know that it is impossible to try to give 5000 taels per person to millions of military children with only 50 million taels. During the period, at least it will cost more money. 1 times the silver."

Although under the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were never corrupted, but corrupt officials were almost impossible to kill.He has killed a lot, and Zhu Di is tired of killing him. If it wasn't for his bad reputation, he wouldn't bother to kill him.

Seeing that Ming Chengzu admitted that the price was not small, Tang Shaozhe was of course overjoyed, raised his eyebrows and said: "If your majesty doesn't want to pay back the money, then find an exchange and offer it. I can't let me suffer and the Zhu family enjoys happiness." Bar?"

"How can this be the Zhu family's blessing? It's clear that the Master of the State Teacher couldn't bear to be merciful, so he showed mercy and wanted to do good deeds. I don't dare to be greedy for merit, but I won't suffer a loss!" The old fox Zhu didn't admit it at all, He shook his head again and again.

"Look where did your majesty say this? Let me ask, does your majesty dare to say that this move will make your majesty win the hearts of millions of military households? In the future, the establishment of the empire that never sets tomorrow, will these people still be needed for your majesty?" Housekeeping? These people are grateful, so how can they not do their best for His Majesty? The benefits of this are not all enjoyed by your Zhu family for generations?"

Tang Xiaohu naturally refused to lag behind, and immediately made all the benefits clear, resolutely not letting Zhu Di get away with it.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Old Fox Zhu couldn't object to these words, so he had no choice but to pretend he didn't hear them.As long as this thing goes out in response, Tang Shangxian will definitely let Tang Shangxian hit the snake with the stick, and simply ignore it and pull it down.

Tang Xiaohu, who had already "understood" Zhu Di's thoughts, immediately sighed not to be outdone, and pretended to pinch his fingers and start talking with his eyes closed.But the voice is just right, so that Zhu Di occasionally hears a few words of the song and then disappears.

But these key words are "great tomorrow", "Zhu's descendants" and "catastrophe is imminent".Besides, it was Tang Shangxian who was wearing the stick next to him, and Zhu Di felt a little lost in his heart!

Who is sure that they are teasing you?If it were true, wouldn't the Zhu family's inheritance that would be passed down from generation to generation be gone?If it's you, can't you resist not asking?

Although he knew that he would lose if he spoke first, Zhu Di could only admit it: "My lord, I don't know what you just said..."

Tang Shaozhe laughed secretly in his heart, but his face became more and more serious: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly felt something in my heart, so I calculated it with my fingers to see what the luck is!"

"Hehe, I don't know what benefits the Master of the State Teacher can count? I heard that it seems to be related to the Zhu family?"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to care about it. In fact, it's not a big deal. Even if Your Majesty doesn't care about this matter, the impact on the Zhu family's world will still be negligible. The Zhu family will not lose the world immediately, at least there will be another 200 years of good times!"

"There are still 200 years of good times?" Zhu Di was stunned, and then he smiled wryly: "What do you mean by the so-called 200 years of good times? Please enlighten me clearly!"

Tang Shaozhe said nonchalantly: "It's very simple, that is to say, if you don't care about today's matter, you can still inherit it for at least 200 years tomorrow. So it doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't care." Plane Travel Guide 1530

This is what you said, you see?Who has ever seen an empire on which the sun never sets that can only last for more than 200 years?Didn't you say that the empire on which the sun never sets will live forever?How did this suddenly become more than 200 years?Too much difference!

Knowing that this was Tang Xiaohu's strategy, Zhu Di just didn't dare to gamble!

Ming Chengzu could only give a wry smile, and sighed: "Then I'd better grit my teeth and persevere, and it's not impossible. Let's put it this way, if the master of the national teacher is to take action, what conditions are needed? Let's talk about it first, and I will definitely pay back the money." No."

Damn, counting from Zhu Yuanzhang, your Zhu family doesn't have a generous master!

Although seeing that Zhu Di had no choice but to fall into the trap, Tang Shaozhe was still annoyed by his last addition of brackets.But that's okay, we didn't go for Daming's poor state treasury in the first place.

"Okay, since His Majesty really has no money, I, as a master, of course have to be considerate of my apprentice. Let's do this, if Your Majesty has no money, just promise me one more thing."

"Just promise one more thing? Well, I'll agree now! Whatever conditions the national teacher has, just say it—as long as you don't pay back the money!" Zhu Di was extremely heroic, and immediately agreed.
