Chapter 199: The Ownership of Three Million Taels of Silver
Fang Kezhuang was so suffocated that his face turned red, and he sold it to Chongzhen, but the emperor didn't take a fancy to it, and criticized himself together, and when he came to Zhu Jie, it seemed that Zhu Jie was a little cowardly, but in the last sentence, he almost slapped himself directly! What does it mean for a dog to meddle with a mouse? Lao Tzu is the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, one level higher than you, the Shuntian Mansion Yin, the wind and the news, that is the duty of the official!
"Zhu Jie, don't hurt people!"
Fang Kezhuang shouted.
Zhu Jie sneered: "Lord Fang, the exit hurts people? Your old man was kicked in the head by a donkey, right? You say that I am ineffective as the Yin of Shuncheon Mansion? Do you blame me? I discovered the plague on the third day after I came back from Guanwai, and it had been less than half a month since the plague entered the capital, and there were sick patients all over the capital. Are you dazzled? Didn't you see it? Am I incompetent? Or do you people not care about the lives of ordinary people? You said that all the money I earned was changed to the court, and these silver and silver were all earned by the official by his ability, and I handed it over to the court because of the emperor's grace, but it was not because I made a fortune in the country and made money, you have the courage, just go to Yongdingmen and shout, I Zhu Jie made money, if you can leave Yongdingmen on your way, I will hand over all three million taels of silver to the court, how to ......"
Fang Kezhuang's face froze, wiped it, and went to Yongdingmen to shout? That's really looking for death, don't say go to Yongdingmen to shout, even if you shout at Chaoyangmen, there will definitely be people who can't take care of their own lives......
Fang Kezhuang snorted coldly and replied: "You didn't make the money of the common people, but you earned the money of your colleagues and businessmen in the capital, as far as this official knows, the most expensive medicine has been sold for 1,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of silver, you want to make your colleagues in the DPRK and China bankrupt, what are your intentions?" And say you're not black-hearted? ”
"Cut!"
Zhu Jie sneered and replied, "Master Fang, I'm surprised!" Do I price my herbs at a thousand taels of silver? Which colleague am I forcing to pay a thousand taels of silver to buy? I'm forcing that rich merchant to buy and sell? Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer! You are willing to speculate the price and suffer for yourself, if it weren't for greed for life and fear of death, I Zhu Jie wouldn't be able to get a tael of silver in my hand......"
The ministers in the court glared at Zhu Jie one by one, wiping it, are they willing to speculate the price? Why don't you give a handful of medicated soap and protective gear to bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen in one day? Greedy for life and afraid of death, grandma, who lives well, doesn't want to die......
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Jie felt the unkind eyes of everyone, and said in amazement: "Ladies and gentlemen, is this official wrong?" Two months ago, the emperor persuaded all the adults to donate money in the main hall, how many of you are willing to pay silver? At most, it's only three or five hundred taels of silver, and it's only about a dozen people who are willing to donate, right? You are crying and shouting that you are poor, and you are poor and can't open the pot, why in the blink of an eye, you are crazy to buy herbs and medicinal soap and protective gear one by one? Spending a lot of money, tsk, it really opened the eyes of the official, and really opened the eyes of the emperor......"
"Humph!"
Chongzhen snorted fiercely on the dragon chair, thinking about it, he was angry, the emperor was really a nest, and he sent them to kneel down with these courtiers, what a deal, who is willing to take out some silver for the court?
"You bastards, when I asked you to borrow money, didn't you all say that you were poor, you, you are really poor, look at Chen Yan, look at Chen Yan! Just one transaction made seventy or eighty thousand taels, and if I hadn't found out earlier, it would have been possible for him to earn hundreds of thousands of taels! It's just a deal, how much has he made over the years? Don't tell me that you are all more incorruptible than Chen Yan, and the ghosts don't believe what you say now! ”
Chongzhen kept roaring, and the ministers in the hall were silent one by one, which one dared to speak? If the emperor is anxious again, everyone will not have a good life!
However, now it seems that Chongzhen is already angry, bullying people does not take such bullies, Zhu Jie worked hard to save the lives of two million people in the capital, you still dare to find faults and find thorns, don't give you a lesson, you really don't know what to do!
"Decree, all the officials in the DPRK and China, if one is counted as one, a fine of three months, aren't you worried about money? I'm enough to make you feel sorry! ”
Chongzhen said hatefully.
Everyone was trembling in distress, three months of money, although it was not a lot, but it was also a mouthful of meat!
"Fang Kezhuang is an exception, Fang Kezhuang framed Zhongliang and was fined for one year! After thinking about it behind closed doors, you can't go out for a month! ”
Fang Kezhuang originally wanted to give Chen a performance, but the anger did not come out, but he even planted himself......
"Your Majesty, the minister wants the three million taels of silver, it is really useless, the minister thinks that it can be divided into three, one million taels handed over to the imperial court, specially used to build water conservancy, relief victims, the emperor, for more than ten years, Shaanxi, Henan and other places have been plagued by natural disasters, if you don't build water conservancy, the people really can't survive......
Chongzhen frowned, handed over one million taels, Chongzhen has no opinion, the more the merrier, but it can only be used to build water conservancy and relief to the victims, but it is a bit scratching people's heads, and now there are more places to use money in the DPRK......
"Your Majesty, this second one million taels of silver, the minister plans to set up a money bank, put it in the rich area of Jiangnan, to absorb the money of the people, there is a million silver taels as a backing, if the imperial court comes forward to do the mediator, it will not take long to absorb a large amount of money from the people of Jiangnan, these money, we can use it to support the treasury at any time, only need to return it in the future, in this way, whether we are suppressing bandits or resisting the Qing Dynasty in a short period of time, we will not worry about the treasury without silver, Moreover, the minister is willing to hand over 20% of the dry shares to the emperor, and the court can get 20% of the dividends from the money bank every year......"
Chongzhen's eyebrows were loosened, and he prepared to set up a bank, and then when he was short of silver, he borrowed from the bank, survived the difficulties, and then returned the money according to the regulations, which is a good thing, at least with this bank, there will never be a dead end in the court in the future, not to mention that there are still 20% of the dividends that can be withdrawn, which is a good thing......
"Your Majesty, this third one million taels, the ministers will all stay, the future world will be the world of firearms, whether it is the Hongyi cannon, or the fire rifle that the minister has just made, it will definitely become the key to victory on the battlefield in the future, the minister will use this million taels of silver as a fund to prepare a new firearms bureau and mining bureau for the emperor, once it is successful, the Manchurian Eight Banners are not to worry!"
