Chapter 503 Relief to the Capital Five(1/2)
The Hanyuan Business also has a store in the inner city, and Zhu Chunchen and his party found a store without much effort.
At the stall where they came, there were already a crowd of people in front of the Liu family rice shop. Most of the people living in the inner city were officials and wealthy families. Even so, the people who came to buy rice were still happy.
Not everyone doesn't regard money as money like nobles.
"Come on, please wait. My family has enough goods, and there are still two million stones of rice being transported from Tianjin. This price will be the next few months, so you don't have to grab it."
When Zhu Chunchen heard the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper shouting hard in front of the store, he felt his blood rushing for a moment and vomited blood.
"master"
"father"
Zhu Xinjue and others followed him suddenly panicked and hurriedly took Zhu Chunchen back to the mansion.
At this time, the nobles and nobles in the capital also knew about the Liu family's continued selling rice. Duke Xu Yunzhen and others rushed over to discuss.
Seeing Zhu Chunchen who had already returned to his house and lying on the hospital bed, Xu Yunzhen shouted angrily:
"I really think that the little thief killed the sky is so bad that I can't make it. I'll send troops to flatten his house."
"Yes, let's flatten his family." A group of nobles were all filled with righteous indignation.
"Ahem, don't go," Yangwu Hou Xue Lian walked into Zhu Chunchen's bedroom with a look of dust.
Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Xue Lian smiled bitterly, "I have been to the Beijing Camp. Wang Chengen issued a death order to the various internal supervisors and supervisors, and strictly prohibited us from transferring troops out of the camp privately."
"I have personal soldiers!" Xu Yunzhen's face turned red with anger.
Xue Lian sighed and found a seat and sat down, "The general of the Fifth Army Camp Zhou Yujina Bastard brought two thousand soldiers to protect the Xin'an Bo Mansion. So what if we send people?"
Xu Yunzhen fell to the stool in a daze, looking at Zhu Chunchen on the hospital bed with disbelief.
"So your Majesty already knows it? Is he protecting the little bastard named Liu?"
On the hospital bed, Zhu Chunchen's face was pale, and Zhu Xinjue stood by the side with a worried look on his face.
"Cough cough", Zhu Chunchen coughed twice, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"I miscalculated, miscalculated. The wild geese were pecked by the geese all day long. I didn't expect that this Liu, the surname is so crazy to seek credit."
Zhu Chunchen stood up and looked at Xu Yunzhen with difficulty, "Please send someone to the palace immediately to find out, and see how the Liu surnamed can convince Your Majesty, so that we can make other plans."
"Yes, yes, I'll send someone to inquire." Xu Yunzhen woke up like a dream.
After all, the nobles were together with the country and still had a lot of suspicion in the palace. After less than an hour, news came out of the palace.
On the night three days ago, Xin'anbo entered the palace after the palace ban and met the prince with the prince.
As for what he said, because all the palace maids and eunuchs served in the Qianqing Palace that night were killed, only Wang Chengen was by his side, so few people knew about it.
However, it is said that in the next three days, there were a lot of silver in the warehouse with unknown origins. It was probably not as much as one million taels.
After hearing what Xu Yunzhen reposted, Xue Lian and others were immediately furious.
"What a dog thief, he dares to take our money to respect the emperor and invite favor for him. I want to kill his whole family!"
"Cough cough cough", Zhu Chunchen coughed even more anxiously.
"Duke Dingguo, Duke Chengguo is lying on the bed. You are the leader of us. Please make an idea as soon as possible. We can't just watch the money and waste it, right?"
The Marquis of Yangwu Xu Xiden looked at Xu Yunzhen with an irritable look, and the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Xu Yunzhen's mind was in war with heaven and man, and his awe of imperial power and his greed for his own money were constantly in conflict.
"Let's go, let's go to the palace to cry. Your Majesty is rich all over the world, how can you put your ideas on us?" In the end, greed took the upper hand. Xu Yunzhen gritted his teeth and suggested.
"This time we not only have to get the money back, but also have to let His Majesty punish this little thief."
"Yes, let's go and make trouble."
"If your Majesty refuses, we will
I couldn't get up after kneeling in front of the palace gate."
A bunch of nobles agreed.
Seeing that these people were about to step out, Zhu Chunchen on the hospital bed shouted in anger, "Stop", his eyes full of regret.
"What do you guys want to do? Are you forced to have a palace?"
Zhu Chunchen struggled to sit up.
"I ask you, how do you plan to ask for it when you go to the palace?"
"Of course I said it straight," Xue Lian raised his neck, "We saved up all this money by one penny, why should we let the little bastard named Liu take it?"
"Farting", Zhu Chunchen swears.
The group of nobles in the house were stunned.
"Let's not talk about the fact that we originally planned to hoard goods, but the money we sent to the palace. If Liu Ximing didn't admit it, who would tell me the source?"
"Are you going to inquire about the royal privacy then? That's the inner treasury!" Zhu Chunchen said hoarsely, "When the emperor asks, not only will our eyeliner in the palace be cut off, but it will also make His Majesty suspicious. It's up to you to see what you should do."
Zhu Chunchen's words made Xu Yunzhen and others mess up. Everyone was stunned just now, but they didn't expect so many twists and turns inside.
"A little thief named Liu", Xu Yunzhen gritted his teeth and cursed again, "Damn bastard, not only did he cheat us of money, but he also planned to make a trap for us. I'll fuck his grandma."
"This is called cleverness," Zhu Chunchen smiled bitterly.
Xu Xiden, Xue Lian and others looked at Duke Cheng and Duke Ding with disbelief, "What should I do? Can you just let it go?"
Zhu Chunchen's fists pressed on the bed creaked, and he was obviously extremely angry.
But he was still a little rational at least. While gritting his teeth to restrain his anger, he said in a low voice:
"Yes, I can only endure it."
"I didn't expect that this little boy named Liu is so smart. You all heard it just now. We spent 3 million taels of rice to buy, and he gave the emperor one million taels at once. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Xue Lian asked back blankly.
Zhu Chunchen laughed in anger, "It means that this bastard not only did not make money, but might have posted money in it. I asked you where can I find two taels of silver and one stone of food now."
"In addition, you said it before, even Wang Chengen greeted the Beijing camp. Do these people do some money? Do you think he still have to pay for it? Not to mention that his rice shop only sells one tael or eight coins per stone."
"hiss"
Xu Yunzhen and others took a breath. This is so fucking cruel.
If Liu Ximing were there, he would have laughed out loud. Zhu Chunchen and others could not have imagined that Liu Ximing's purchase cost had reached an outrageous two cents and five cents per stone.
Even if he counts as two taels of silver, he will make a net profit of 8 times.
You should know that Annan has a tropical climate, and the three-ripe planting period a year makes it difficult for northerners who suffer from famine to imagine.
After Zhu Chunchen finished speaking, he was a little unbelievable. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"From the arrangement of others, I'm afraid I've been planning on us for a long time. What else can I do? We can only admit defeat this time."
"Can you just forget it?" Xu Yunzhen looked incredible, "Where can we put the faces of the nobles? Looking back, even a cat or a dog can make ground on our heads."
Zhu Chunchen looked vicious, "Forget it? How is that possible? Don't worry, I don't believe it anymore. Liu Ximing can always be so holy, and there will always be a chance at that time."
"Damn it, I'm really unwilling to give up." Xue Lian punched the table with a punch.
Liu Ximing originally thought that the counterattacks of the nobles would come quickly, so he specially transferred Zhou Yuji to guard the gate for him.
Liu Ximing was a first-rank governor and general who came to visit the door, so he was very proud of his appearance.
However, what he did not expect was that except for the Marquis of Yangwu Xue Lian and his servants fought in front of the mansion, there was no movement.
The more than 6,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp received a high reward from Liu Ximing when they went to war last time, and this time it was another one.
The reward of ten taels of silver was collected, so he was naturally very concerned about his affairs. For a time, Xin'anbo Mansion was guarded day and night.
After a few days of calm, Liu Ximing finally believed that the nobles had temporarily given up their plans to counterattack.
As for their thoughts, Liu Ximing could think of it with his butt, but he just waited until he made a big mistake before he could take a fatal blow.
Just thinking of the peasant army surging again in the Central Plains, Liu Ximing sneered in his heart, and these people probably couldn't find the opportunity.
At the court meeting on the fourth day of the September 19th, Chongzhen listened to Liu Ximing's report on the successful completion of the sanitation of prices in Beijing with a blushing face, and happily signaled Wang Chengen to step forward and announce the order.
"According to the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that Zil Cartha, who is capable of doing things, deeply understands my difficulties. He was promoted to the position of the youngest secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion, Liu Xi was appointed as the Zhanshi Mansion, and was promoted to the third-rank Tongyi Doctor."
"Wow"
This edict had long been recognized by the cabinet, so all the cabinet ministers were expressionless.
However, the many ministers below were unaware of it. When they saw Liu Ximing being promoted again, if there was no censor staring at him, they would be in a bad mood soon.
God, Liu Ximing seems to be only twenty-one years old, and he is already a third-rank official. Did he wait for others to live as a dog?
Liu Ximing smiled in his heart. It was almost too late. That was because you had never met Wei Zaode, the top scorer next year, who was the first assistant for four years.
However, there are still keen ministers who have experienced what they have learned from the imperial edict, what it means to "understand my hardships"? It is just that the saying is that it is not acceptable to calm prices in the capital.
The actions of the Ministry of Revenue quickly made everyone understand why.
Cai Guo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up with a jade scepter in his hand, "Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's grace, the Ministry of Revenue will be transferred from the inner treasury to 900,000 taels of silver. I believe that 300,000 taels of which should be used to pay the salary of hundreds of officials in the capital, and the remaining 600,000 taels will be given to the Nine Borders. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
On the imperial throne, Chongzhen waved his hand with excitement, "It's accurate."
