Others donate a year's salary, and he also donates a year's salary, which sounds fine.

Can,

Liu Bian refused.

"Dear dears, for donations, of course, the calculation is based on the head. Thirty stones per person is not too much."

Everyone nodded when they heard that, thirty stones for one person is indeed not too much.

For example, Cai Yong, there are only three people in his family, himself and two daughters.

Including two servant girls, a housekeeper and four servants, there are only ten people in total, and only three hundred stones are enough to donate.

But some people are very disadvantaged.

"Yuan Aiqing, you four generations and three fathers of the Yuan family enjoy the supreme honor, and the imperial court treats you with great kindness. But the family members of the Yuan family are all over the world, and there are more than ten thousand family members and servants, so you donate ten thousand shi. Isn't it a bit unreasonable? "

"You are very Sikong, one of the three men, how can you do it if you don't have a good head."

"How about this, many members of the Yuan family are officials in the court, and they donated a total of 50 shi!"

heard,

Everyone in the Yuan family turned extremely ugly!

According to the calculation of each person's annual salary, at most 2 shi for their Yuan family would be enough.

But Tian Zizi opened his mouth wide, and directly doubled it by twenty times!

Clearly,

It is to make the Yuan family bleed!

And Cao Cao, Cai Yong and others suddenly understood the emperor's intention!

Secretly admire in my heart,

"Your Majesty's move is wonderful!"

Chapter 41: Dog bites dog, the bloodletting of the family

50 stone!

Even for a large and aloof family like the Yuan family, it is quite a huge sum.

The annual salary of Yuan Feng and Yuan Kai is only [-] shi.

And Yuan Shao, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu and others only had two thousand stones.

If they rely on their salaries alone, they will definitely not be able to afford it.

But don't forget that the aristocratic family controls a lot of resources. They not only have their own land, but also many industries, gray income and so on.

With the efforts of so many generations, the savings of the Yuan family are equivalent to a small national treasury.

It is even possible that it will be more substantial than the current treasury!

Historically, when Cao Cao raised his troops, he received funding from all parties.

And Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu pulled together a team with ease, which is enough to show that their family background is strong!

Liu Bian took advantage of the empty treasury to ask for donations from them. Although it would cause dissatisfaction among the ministers, it could effectively weaken the power of the aristocratic family and consolidate the imperial power!

therefore,

Only in the hearts of Cao Cao, Cai Yong and others will they shout the wonderful words.

The Yuan family looked gloomy,

But facing the coercion of the emperor, he dared not refute.

I had no choice but to keep silent.

They wanted to see if His Majesty was targeting the Yuan family, or if he wanted to offend all the Manchu families!

If other aristocratic families donate less than them, they will never agree!

When the time comes, they don't mind letting this ignorant young emperor see the importance of the Yuan family in the court!

At this moment, all the aristocratic families are very nervous, they all lower their heads, silently calculating whether their own family property is enough for the emperor to slaughter.

"Yang Aiqing, how much does your Yang family plan to donate?"

The oppressive atmosphere didn't last long before it was broken by Liu Bian.

His gaze, after wandering around the court hall, landed on Yang Biao, the Patriarch of Hongnong Yang Family.

As the fourth generation and three princes, although the power of the Yang family is a little worse than that of the Yuan family, it is not much worse.

Moreover, Yang Biao has been a Taiwei for many years, which is a fat job.

Hundreds of millions of military pay every year, but all have to go through his hands.

The Yang family also has quite a few properties in Hongnong.

If it was said that their family had no money, Liu Bian would never believe it.

Being named in public, Yang Biao broke into a cold sweat,

"Chen... I would like to donate 30 stones as military expenses."

Upon hearing this answer,

The Yuan family was unhappy at first.

Both being four generations and three princes, the status of the Yang family in the court is not much worse than that of the Yuan family.

Why did the Yuan family donate 50 shi, and your Yang family only donated 30 shi!

"Lieutenant Yang."

Yuan Shu came out, "The country is in trouble, and everyone should try their best to tide over the difficulties together. The Yang family has a big business, with an annual income of more than one million shi, and you only pay 30 shi. It's unreasonable!"

We belong to a transcendental family, and we all know the root and the bottom.

Yuan Shu felt aggrieved in his heart, and with one sentence, he handed over the Yang family's secrets.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Feng glared at him!

Yuan Feng cursed inwardly: impulsive!You handed over the Yang family's secrets, wouldn't the Yang family hand over our secrets!When the emperor heard it, both of you are so rich, wouldn't you want to increase the price?

Sure enough, upon hearing Yuan Shu's words, Liu Bian was overjoyed.

However, a handsome face is a bit more majestic,

"Dear dears, my donation is for the country, not for me personally!"

"If the country is preserved, your official rank and family property can be preserved. If anyone is picky and searchable, if he is capable and refuses to contribute, then he does not want status and reputation."

"I will fulfill him now!"

Yang Biao secretly scolded Yuan Shu for being talkative, he quickly lowered his body, gritted his teeth and said, "I wish to donate 50 shi like the Yuan family!"

The reputation of their family is indeed similar to that of the Yuan family, but their population is small, and the number of officials in the court is less than half of that of the Yuan family.

Moreover, there are not as many disciples and old officials as the Yuan family.

Therefore, they dare not be as rich as the Yuan family.

But Liu Bian was not satisfied with this,

You guys, the more you hide, the more I want to bleed you!

"Yang Aiqing, the Yang family has a yearly income of one million shi, and they must have saved a lot of savings over the years. Donating a year's income will not have much impact on your Yang family, but it can help the country tide over the difficulties. I will Remember Aiqing's contribution."

Liu Bian said lightly.

Hearing this, Yang Biao almost cried.

50 shi is already a hemorrhage, 100 million shi, he really can't afford so much!

"Your Majesty, I... have a family to support. Although the income is one million, the annual expenditure is quite huge. Even if you sell the property, you can't afford so much."

What he said was the truth. There have been many natural and man-made disasters in recent years.

Coupled with the fact that the ten permanent servants sold their officials and nobles, it caused a lot of impact on the aristocratic family.

Therefore, his family really didn't have that much food in storage.

Liu Bian didn't push people any further, he stroked his chin and thought for a while, "If that's the case, then I'll give you a [-]% discount."

"[-]% off?"

Yang Biao didn't understand.

"It means 70%, your Yang family paid [-] shi."

"His Majesty……"

Yang Biao's body trembled and he almost knelt down.

70 shi, it must hurt his Yang family.

"I have already made great concessions, Yang Aiqing, don't go too far!"

Liu Bian drank in a deep voice.

A pair of gazes rested on Yang Biao's neck like knives, and Yang Biao knelt down in panic, "I...lead the decree!"

"His Majesty!"

He gave Yuan's family a resentful look, and gritted his teeth, "Yuan's annual income exceeds 150 million. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. They only pay 50 shi, which is unreasonable!"

Bite up!

Other officials in the DPRK and China stood aside to watch the excitement.

Cai Yong, Cao Cao and others admired Liu Bian's approach even more.

This move can not only consume the strength of the aristocratic family, but also allow the two aristocratic families to bite each other, instantly shifting the conflict.

high!

It's really high!

Yuan Feng's face darkened, wishing he could whip Yuan Shu up!
