“Your Majesty, but what are your concerns?”
Huang Xuewen asked suspiciously.
As far as he knows, His Majesty still has ten million taels of silver!
What other difficulties.
Just allocate a few million taels for disaster relief!
“It’s just that the treasury is a bit short now! It is not only the operation of the state that costs money, but also every official who eats and repairs official bridges. There are also soldiers everywhere, and the money cannot be used indiscriminately. So…
Zhou Yan looked at all the ministers below, rubbed a few fingers and said: “You are all the ministers of the humerus of Chaokun, I hope that you Ai Qing can donate a little love so that Annan Mansion can tide over this difficulty.” ”
Everyone immediately understood that the emperor was asking them for money!
I want them to donate money.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts were uncomfortable.
Do you really want to take out your white silver taels?
What a giveness!
If they donate their money, then they have not struggled all their lives in vain.
Zhou Yan looked at the expressions of the ministers below, and sneered in his heart.
The opportunity to be a new human being has been given to you, depending on whether you can seize it.
Otherwise, Hugh will blame me for turning my face ruthlessly.
“Your Majesty, Weichen really has no money, and the family is about to open the pot.”
“Your Majesty, the ladies of the courtier family are too defeated, and the money has been squandered.”
“Your Majesty, the old minister is hungry for the family dog, and he must also make up a little silver taels.”
When these ministers heard that they were asking for donations, they all covered their faces with tears and cried.
Let people smell the tears of sad people, and they are all chaotic loyal ministers.
Among them, the one who cried the most was the former national abbot.
It’s not Zhou Yan’s grandfather, it’s the father of the current empress.
Directly shouted poverty to Zhou Yan, saying that even a concubine could not afford to marry.
“Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to Annan Mansion.”
Just when all the ministers were tangled, Huang Xuewen stood up again to set an example.
“Good, good, good! Huang Aiqing is really my big loyal minister! ”
Zhou Yan happily stood up and patted the dragon chair and said with a smile.
Huang Xuewen, he had already let Xuanjiwei find out clearly.
After working as an official for more than 20 years, saving food and thrift for so many years, his entire net worth is more than 1,000 taels.
And he came out with so much money at once.
It can be seen that he is still very loyal to Chao Kun.
For this kind of person, Zhou Yan naturally will not be stingy.
Although Huang Xuewen gave out most of his savings, Zhou Yan would give him a greater return.
Until many years later, Huang Xuewen, who had become immortal, was still sighing.
When he was still a mundane, he made the wisest choice of his life.
With Huang Xuewen taking the lead, other ministers finally began to donate.
“Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to donate one hundred taels of silver!”
“Your Majesty, the old minister took out all the coffin books, and all these two hundred and fifty taels were taken to relieve Annan.”
“Your Majesty, the minister will go back to rest the defeated ladies in the family and donate five hundred taels to the imperial court.”
“Your Majesty, the old minister has decided to donate all the five hundred taels of pension money.”
······
No matter how poor you cry, you have to squeeze out a little.
Otherwise, the emperor Laozi is angry, who can stop it.
Many people are laughing in their hearts that they can finally donate less.
Even the prime minister only donated 1,000 taels, if they donated more than Huang Xuewen, wouldn’t they have slapped Huang Xuewen in the face.
They don’t believe that Huang Xuewen is not greedy, since Huang Xuewen has donated so.
Do they have to give a lot?
Besides, if you donate too much, wouldn’t you be telling Your Majesty that you are embezzling.
They didn’t believe that the emperor could cut so many people.
So what to do with this country, it is still up to them to govern the civil servants.
And Huang Xuewen’s donation also stumped some others.
These people are also more or less corrupt.
Originally, they wanted to give away and donate a little more money, hoping to get the emperor’s appreciation.
Thus being able to forgive their sins.
After all, now Xuanjiwei is pervasive, and they are really afraid that one day the East Window incident will be cut by the emperor.
However, now everyone is giving so little.
If they donate more, they will not shoot the first bird.
At that time, if you offend others and do not say, you may be reckoned with after the fall.
“Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to donate 100,000 taels!”
While ministers reported their contributions.
A voice sounded, causing the entire hall to instantly fall silent.
Did I hear you right?
One hundred thousand taels?
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was Wang Qi, the official Shangshu, who said.
Lose your marbles!
Is he dead?
100,000 taels of silver!
That’s enough to behead you 10,000 times!
Everyone else just took out the corresponding silver taels.
Boy!
You directly took out 100,000 taels, that is not telling His Majesty the Emperor nakedly.
I was embezzling, and I embezzled a lot of money.
So, you grab me and cut me down!”
Is Wang Shangshu recruiting himself?
Everyone mourned for Wang Qi for a second.
They could already imagine Zhou Yan’s angry expression.
However, what makes everyone strange is.
Zhou Yan’s expression was calm, and he didn’t look angry at all.
“Wang Aiqing’s love heaven and earth can be revealed, and he is worthy of being the humerus minister of Xuan Chaokun!”
Zhou Yan suddenly said with a smile.
“What’s the situation?”
Everyone was stunned and confused by the scene in front of them.
Wang Qi obviously embezzled so much money, why was His Majesty not only not angry, but also praised him?
Was it because he donated so much that His Majesty spared him?
Shall I also donate more for peace?
Just as the ministers were thinking about it, Zhou Yan spoke again.
“Wang Shangshu, what is your annual salary?”
Is that right?
Hearing Zhou Yan’s question, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s exactly what happens.
Really.
After His Majesty finished praising it, he began to ask about the crime.
“Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen’s annual salary of 1,200 stones, converted into silver taels is 600 taels, plus the benefits of the imperial court, it is almost more than 700 taels.”
Wang Qi knelt down and answered honestly, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
“Wang Shangshu, your 100,000 taels of silver fell from the sky, right?”
Zhou Yan looked at Wang Qi, who was kneeling below, and said, “Come on, pull Wang Shangshu out.” ”
“Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Two guards came in again and escorted Wang Qi away.
Thanks for the monthly pass that recalls the memories of the past!
