Chapter 30 Zhu Gaoshuo: Please write me an IOU of four million taels of silver

The elders on the side felt that their fourth uncle would definitely find a way to refuse this matter.

After all, only one-third of the money was used to build the new capital city.

This is a joke!

Even if the fourth child filled in all the money he had recently embezzled, he still wouldn't be able to finish the matter.

Just when a few people were hesitating whether to help the fourth child.

But seeing Zhu Gaoshuo here, he said: "Your Majesty, ministers, if you leave the matter of moving the capital to me, the money and food required will only be one-third of the original amount!"

"What?"

"This is impossible!"

"King Yan, are you kidding me?"

Zhu Gaoshuo's words made everyone look in disbelief, and they all looked at him.

Many people with rich associations even began to wonder if this was a double act performed by the Emperor and Prince Yan.

When it comes to building a new capital city, as long as money is invested in it from the beginning, it cannot be stopped later.

Because whenever you stop, all the money you invested before will be wasted!

This is millions of silver. How many people can it save in the world?

If it was really wasted, most of the ministers present would probably cry to death!

As Minister of Industry, Song Li was ordered to supervise the construction of numerous imperial mausoleums and palaces. He knew best how much it cost to build a new capital city.

He immediately raised his hands and saluted Zhu Di and shouted: "Your Majesty, I think that King Yan is not old enough and does not think enough, so he needs to be careful about moving the capital!"

As soon as he spoke, other ministers present also reacted from shock.

They all tried to persuade Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, it is completely nonsense to build a new capital city with only one-third of the money. I hope Your Majesty will be careful!"

"After all, His Highness Prince Yan has never been in charge of such an important task, so why not think about this matter again!"

The three brothers and the eldest nephew on the side were just told by the old man to be nice to the fourth child. Now that the fourth child was in trouble, they did not dare not help.

No one knew whether Dad really meant it just to build a new capital city, or whether he was just trying to test whether they took his words to heart.

So he immediately shouted to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, King Yan is not suitable to be in charge of moving the capital for the time being. It is better to wait a few more years and wait until the treasury is full!"

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan is young and doesn't know how much food is needed to build a new capital city. I hope Your Majesty won't blame him!"

Unlike them, Zhu Laosi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was very confident.

Since Lao Si dared to agree, it meant that the person behind him was confident that he would use only one-third of the money to build a new capital city.

As long as the fourth child handles this matter, it will not only be easier to find out who is behind the scenes, but also a new capital city can be obtained.

This is simply a win-win situation!

It was precisely because of this that he ignored everyone's persuasion and looked directly at Zhu Gaoshuo.

"King Yan, are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure! If I can't complete it, I'm willing to be punished!"

Zhu Gaoshuo said with a serious face.

Not only is he sure, but he may also make a lot of money from building the new capital city.

At that time, not only will you be able to become a feudal lord smoothly, but you will also make a lot of money.

It's like Ying Zheng touched the wire and won!

Fortunately, he just thought about it in his heart and didn't let Ying Zheng in his mind hear it.

Otherwise, the other party will definitely be curious about why he is numb!

Seeing how confident he was, Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, immediately put his hands on his hands and laughed.

"Okay, from now on, the imperial court's construction of the new capital will be left to you!"

"I obey the decree!"

Zhu Gaoshuo immediately saluted and shouted.

The singing and harmony of these two people made other ministers in the hall speechless.

I asked them what they thought!

They had opinions, but the emperor not only didn't listen, he even pretended that he didn't hear them.

Then why ask them?

The matter has come to this, and the emperor has made it clear that the decree has been issued, and no matter how much he objects, it is impossible to take it back.

After all, if the imperial edict issued by the imperial court is withdrawn, how will the people all over the world think?

Where is the majesty of the imperial court?

So they can only cry out for grievances and cry about poverty!

Xia Yuanji was in charge of the imperial court's purse, so he responded quickly.

Immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is really empty. Even if we build a new capital city, we can only transfer a few hundred thousand taels every year!"

Yang Shiqi on the side also reacted.

He also shouted: "Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while, set up a special fund, deposit the money you save every year, and then build a new city after you have collected a few million taels!"

Although Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon throne, didn't know much about people's livelihood, he still felt that what the two people said was reasonable.

Then he looked at Zhu Gaoshuo below.

He asked with a smile: "King Yan, what do you think?"

Zhu Gaoshuo was stunned and speechless.

How can I see it?

Can I lie down on the ground and watch?

He firmly believed that if he said that, Zhu Di would definitely whip him in the hall.

Sighing in his heart, he could only say: "Ministers, how about this? Just write me an IOU of four million, and I will pay for the construction of the new capital. When the court has money in the future, you can pay it back to me!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked!

Everyone looked at Zhu Gaoshuo with disbelief on their faces.

Asking the court to write an IOU to an individual is not the most shocking thing.

What shocked them the most was that Zhu Gaoshuo actually said that he would pay for the construction of the new capital!ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

This...how much greed did King Yan have in these days?

He can build a capital city with his own money?

Zhu Di, who was above him, was also frightened and lifted his butt off the dragon chair.

He has been asking Jin Yiwei to closely monitor Zhu Gaoshuo these days, but at most he only found hundreds of thousands taels of local products.

How come this kid can now spend tens of millions of taels in one fell swoop?

Could it be that this kid discovered the Qian Yuan treasure?

Zhu Di couldn't help but become suspicious.

He felt that this kid Lao Si was hiding too deeply!

If he hadn't been forced to build a new capital city, he might have never known that this guy was so rich until his death!

Yang Shiqi and others on the side reacted quickly and immediately asked: "Your Highness, King Yan, are you serious about this?"

They don’t care where King Yan got so much money!

But since the capital was built without the imperial court spending a penny, they were happy to make the emperor happy.

As for IOUs?

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty belongs to their family, and they give hundreds of thousands of taels every year. Presumably the Yanwang Palace will not have any objections, right?

Interest?

What interest is required?

There is no need for interest when you lend money to your own family!

Seeing the many ministers in the hall staring at him, Zhu Gaoshuo smiled helplessly.

"I, Zhu Gaoshuo, stick to my words and keep my word! As long as the court writes me an IOU, I guarantee that this city will be built!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present all showed joy.

Especially Xia Yuanji, he smiled the most happily, with his front teeth exposed!
Chapter completed!
