Chongzhen went around in a circle and finally showed his hole cards.

But who knew that as soon as Chongzhen's words fell, the nest exploded in the hall.

What? What is Your Majesty going to do? Did we hear it wrong? Your Majesty wants to ask us for silver?

I said that the teacher moved everyone to invite us to dinner, and it turned out to be Ann's thoughts.

"Brother Chen, last time His Majesty raised donations, how much did you donate?" Yangwu Hou Xue Lian quietly dragged Taining Hou Chen Yanzuo and said.

"Three thousand taels! What about you? Chen Yanzuo secretly stretched out three fingers, and asked Xue Lian again when he was done.

"We are not as rich as your Taining Hou family, and we donated 1,500 taels last time." Xue Lian stretched out a hand to cover his mouth and whispered.

Cut, we haven't had our family yet, this fairy residence in the capital is your family's industry, don't think that the old man doesn't know, pretend to be poor with our family, hum!

"Your Majesty is cheeky enough to ask us for money again, Brother Wang, you see if Your Majesty is prepared this time!" Li Cunshan, the Marquis of Wuqing, who was sitting in the back row, was not idle, and said to the Marquis of Xincheng beside him.

"Hmph, I thought Your Majesty was really considerate of us, but I didn't expect it to be a Hongmen banquet, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!" Wang Guoxing shook his head.

The last time Jianyu invaded the border, the treasury was empty, and the border army dragged the military salary for half a year, Chongzhen had no way to pull down his face and solicit donations from the courtiers and their nobles.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty said that the family was poor and only pledged more than 30,000 taels, and the sky was pitiful.

These guys are the most hypocritical at home, and when they go out, they wear tattered clothes to go to the court, and they bully Your Majesty and can't see it.

In the end, it was their nobles who were generous, and together they donated more than 60,000 taels, covering hundreds of officials!

But what about this time? His Majesty does not go to the hundred officials to pledge donations, but only looks for their relatives, isn't this a clear show of favoritism?

It's not fair! Why are we only allowed to pledge? Bullying us for being rich...... Oh no, we're poor, we're poor!

Chongzhen's face calmly looked at the whispers of the nobles below.

Thinking of the last fundraising, he worked hard for a long time, and he was busy for ten days, but the Manchu Dynasty only raised more than 100,000 taels, and Chongzhen was heartbroken.

Pain for its greed, pain for its short-sightedness.

Chongzhen looked at the front table again, Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, was sitting precariously, Zhang Weixian, the eldest son of the British family, was looking left and right, and the old man Zhou Kui was counting something with his fingers.

Chongzhen looked at Zhou Kui with a glare, this old thing relied on the identity of a national relative to bully and dominate the market, and he had caused trouble in the township for several years, and even caused a full five lives last year.

If it weren't for the brocade clothes and guards, Chongzhen wouldn't have known about it, but considering Queen Zhou and the royal prestige, he just sent someone to teach him and endured it.

But as soon as I remembered the last time I raised money Chongzhen was furious, Zhou Kui had more than 80 hectares of sub-grain fields rewarded by the royal gift, and there were many shops in the prime area of the capital by the way, as the highest ranking among the relatives, he only pledged two thousand taels.

Empress Zhou paid out of her own pocket to hand over the 5,000 taels she had saved and retained to Zhou Kui, and asked him to add another 3,000 taels to make up 10,000 taels to set an example for the courtiers and nobles.

This guy actually swallowed 3,000 taels and only pledged 4,000 taels.

Chongzhen didn't know about this at first, and it wasn't until Queen Zhou said that she leaked her mouth.

The dynasty has raised honors for 300 years, how can you neglect these descendants whose ancestors have served the country, but what is the result?

Chongzhen sighed.

The nobles were unkind last time, but Chongzhen was not unrighteous this time, he said everything that should be said, and he also did his last mercy to the nobles as a descendant of the Zhu family.

If you are still obsessed, then don't blame the royal family for being ruthless!

"I once again reiterate that the dynasty is in trouble, and we need the help of your families to tide over the difficulties, and the two emperors of Taizu and Chengzu have shared hardships with the ancestors of Zhuqing, and we have taken a break for three hundred years, and now I also need us to spend the difficulties with me!" Chongzhen said again.

After speaking, Chongzhen returned to the throne and didn't say anything, but took a cup of tea and took a sip slowly.

Having said that, the nobles also know that they can't hide this time, but most of them look at the table at the head, after all, if you are senior, the table headed by you is the boss.

If the boss doesn't take the lead, who dares to be this bird.

Before the British duke arrived, his eldest son Zhang Wei was a junior, Xu Yunjue and Zhou Kui did not move, but he was more at ease.

Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, glanced at Zhou Kui, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, this old miscellaneous hair is pretending again, if you don't move, the old man won't move.

Is this a good bird? Out of the low, Your Majesty is not happy, out of the high, a large group of Zi Xungui behind him turned around and poked his backbone?

The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward for a while, if you talk about being cheeky, where is Xu Yunjue the opponent of Zhou Kui, who is young and carrying a brick knife to build a wall.

Xu Yunjue had a lot of thoughts in his heart, although he wanted to calm down, he couldn't do it, because he knew that Chongzhen had been staring at him.

And what about this old miscellaneous Zhou Kui? Still standing still, this cheeky old miscellaneous hair won't really fall asleep!

Just when Chongzhen became more and more impatient and was about to walk away, Xu Yunjue finally stood up.

"Your Majesty, we are resting with the country, the food monarch's Lu should be the king's worries, the country and the dynasty are in trouble and refuse to turn a deaf ear, although the Xu family's business is small, the minister is still willing to help His Majesty and help the Ming Dynasty get through the difficulties!"

Xu Yunjue's voice was sonorous, as if he was despising Zhou Kui, who was still immovable.

Zhou Kui just curled his beard for a moment, he finally figured it out, the money he got is still cost-effective to buy land, and land is the foundation of the Zhou family!

"Good! Wei Guogong should be my model of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know, how much Xu Qing pledged? Chongzhen saw that someone finally came forward, not only suppressed his anger.

"Minister...... Pledge...... The minister is willing to pledge 50,000 taels! Knowing that Chongzhen would definitely not be able to be sent away without some blood this time, Xu Yunjue originally planned to pledge 30,000 taels, but when he saw Chongzhen's eyes, he was stunned and said 20,000 taels more.

This made Xu Yunjue feel that he was the hero who saved Daming.

"Okay, Qing Zhigong, I wrote it down for my ancestors." Chongzhen's face was as usual, but he snorted coldly in his heart.

Fifty thousand taels, I am a fool, your Xu family has lived in Nanjing for generations, what kind of place is Nanjing?

In the rich land of the south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice, your Xu family only trafficked in illicit salt for hundreds of thousands of taels a year, not to mention shops and real estate.

Fifty thousand taels, call it Hanako!

Chongzhen was angry, but he didn't show it on his face, the Northern Expedition touched him deeply, and now Chongzhen is no longer the Chongzhen who is happy and angry, at least not in the face of courtiers and this group of nobles.

"The minister is willing to pledge 30,000 taels!" Someone took the lead, and the rest of the nobles had standards, and Tai Ninghou immediately stood up.

"The minister is willing to pledge 40,000 taels!"

"The minister pledged 20,000 taels!"
