Chapter 464: This Pot, I've Carried It (Fourth Update, 900 All Orders and Changes)
It took more than half an hour for the nobles of the entire hall to report the amount of their pledges, Chongzhen picked up the list and took a cursory look at the amount, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
The relatives who retired with the Ming Dynasty, the relatives who had been raised by the imperial court for three hundred years, and the relatives who had been favored by the Zhu family were able to raise 1.6 million taels.
Wei Guogong really has a good start, there is not a single row at the bottom that exceeds 50,000 taels, and then turn down, Zhou Kui, pledge 8,000 taels!
This goose-plucked, short-sighted old thing!
Turning another page, Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and the last line at the bottom, sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, pledged 110,000 taels!
Liu Kongzhao? Chongzhen thought for a moment before remembering that this was Liu Bowen's descendant.
I have heard that Liu Kongzhao doesn't like money, loves to be a matchmaker, and he doesn't care about his own little industry, he just cares about traveling in the mountains and rivers to have fun, but he didn't expect to have a little conscience.
Long before the feast, Chongzhen had already roughly figured out the family property of many nobles, after all, whether it was a shop or a good field, it was well documented, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang had not eaten dry rice for more than half a year.
Because of this, he was angry when he saw that the nobles only pledged such a little silver to send him away, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Bowen's descendants pledged 110,000 taels that surprised him.
If I remember correctly, this Chengyi Bo family only has a grocery store in the capital plus a fur shop, and the fertile land is only about 20 hectares, which is counted down among the nobles.
It is not easy for this person to come up with 110,000 taels, alas, it seems that the dynasty has raised honors for three hundred years, and there are still individuals who have their own, Chongzhen handed over the accounts to Wang Erxi, the master of ceremonies, and then stood up.
"Thanks to the generosity of the ministers, I thank you for the people of the Ming Dynasty and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are waiting for you, and I will drink happily, I feel unwell and go back to the palace first!" Chongzhen tried his best to restrain the anger gushing in his chest, and after a few casual sentences, he got up and wanted to leave the Imperial Palace.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Seeing that Chongzhen was finally sent away, all the nobles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Xu, Your Majesty's face is unhappy, don't you think we pledge too little?" Zhang Weixian, the eldest son of the British family, poured a glass of wine for Xu Yunjue.
He came to the banquet on behalf of his father, the British Duke Zhang Shize, Zhang Shize was ill and told him not to take the lead before going out, and pledged to be the benchmark for Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei.
Seeing that the Xu family only pledged 50,000 taels, Zhang Weixian also pledged 50,000 taels according to his father's orders.
It's just that he doesn't understand that the Xu family and his Zhang family are both important figures of the country, and the family business is so big that it can be easily taken out of 50,000 taels, even 500,000 taels, he doesn't understand why the elders are so short-sighted.
Could it be that Jiannu has entered the customs, can it be of any benefit to the family?
"Zhang Xian's nephew is still young, hehe, go back and ask your father, my countryman is full, let's go!" Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, didn't even move his chopsticks, got up and walked out of the hall.
still eats, the dishes have long been cold, a meal cost 50,000 taels, who can eat it when they are full?
Fundraising, fundraising, fundraising at every turn, today because of the pension bank fundraising, tomorrow because of the supervision of the canal fundraising, what about the day after tomorrow?
Whose money is blown by the wind?
The reason why the Zhang family kid is young is also reasonable, you only had to pledge 3,000 taels last time you raised donations, but now you have donated 50,000 taels at once, which has increased dozens of times.
That group of civil officials are still pretending to be poor, who dares to expose their wealth? If Your Majesty asks them to settle accounts for the crime of deceitful kings, won't your kindness be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs?
Besides, didn't that kid named Liu Hongjian just grab tens of millions of taels from Shanxi and Shaanxi, and it took only a few days to spend it?
What about liars! You Chongzhen actually values that kid so much, why don't you go to that Liu Hongjian and find our family when you have difficulties?
At this time, I came to ask for help again, who wants to be the boss of this wrong?
There is also the old miscellaneous hair of Jiading Bo Zhou, who knew that this cheeky thing was coming, and he also sent the loser son of the family over, why was he calculated by Zhou Kui.
Now it's good, his head was raised by him, His Majesty must have a grudge against him, this pot is really angry!
Xu Yunjue spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm when he left the hall, and swaggered out of the palace.
As soon as Wei Guogong left, the rest of the nobles no longer ate tasteless cold dishes, and they all got up and left while complaining to each other.
……
Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion!
"Hmph, these shameless dogs! I really misjudged them! Chongzhen slapped the account on the table, and could no longer hold back the anger in his chest.
"Your Majesty, didn't the minister say that this group of nobles must still be like that, you have already prepared in your heart, why are you still so angry, you have to pay attention to your illness!"
Liu Hong gradually picked up the accounts on the table and went through them roughly.
"It seems to be quite a picky door, the dignified Duke of Wei, with a huge family property of one million, only donated 50,000 taels, tsk, domineering!" Liu Hong gradually looked at the bill and was not only happy.
There is no doubt that the director of this Hongmen banquet, Liu Hongchuan, the king of Anguo County, starred in the role of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and played a supporting role.
The last fundraising had already touched a nose of ash, and Chongzhen naturally knew the faces of the relatives, and he refused to pull down this face again.
But it is really as Liu Hongjian said, he directly started to force the relatives, and Chongzhen couldn't bear it, after all, this is all after the ancestors who had shed blood and sweat, and the ancestral system clearly wrote hereditary reckless and retired with the country.
If you really do it, this pot will be carried big, and after a hundred years, the name of Chongzhen, the first unkind and unrighteous tyrant of the Ming Dynasty, will be memorized.
It is really a good idea to force Xun Qi, Liu Hongjian didn't plan to do this, after all, Xun Qi has been cultivating for three hundred years, and the power is so entrenched that if you don't get it right, you will have to move the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
The safest way, from the bottom up, first promoted high-yield crops to the entire Ming Dynasty, controlled the stomachs of the people, and then collected commercial taxes to stabilize the revenue of the treasury.
Through the commercial tax, the merchant group was gradually controlled, and then the nobles were slowly eroded, the land was measured, and the household registration system was reformed......
In such a gentle way of moisturizing things silently, giving the gentry and nobles a buffer, and the upward and downward effects, within twenty years, it can definitely make the Ming Dynasty a new one.
However, the time was too long, so long that Liu Hong gradually didn't want to wait, so long that Chongzhen couldn't afford to wait.
Time is not waiting, the overseas colonizers are already in full swing, and there is no shadow of the capital weapon belonging to the Ming Dynasty, where is Liu Hongjian willing to wait for 20 years?
And in this way, the assets that these nobles have hoarded for three hundred years are categorically not returned.
Liu Hong is gradually unwilling, why can you have a good ancestor to be powerful and blessed for 300 years, why can't the Ming soldiers who gnawed on cold steamed buns die and can't even get a pension, and why are the people who have been tired and tired for a whole year can't even eat enough in the end?
In one word, dry! As long as the interests and disadvantages are explained to the soldiers, as long as the people know that what the court does is to let them have enough to eat, they are still afraid of eggs!
Whoever instigates who is the sac!
"I have made up my mind, don't want these nobles, no matter how big this pot is, I have carried it, you will let it go!" Chongzhen smashed the delicate tea bowl in his hand and said fiercely!
PS: The four watches are offered, counting yesterday's four watches, the cold has tried his best.
