Chapter 58
Zhang Jing knelt in front of Zhu Yiliu three times, and this time he cried.
Holding a stack of silver notes, he said in tears: "Prince Lu, the total savings I have accumulated over the years are only 60,000, of which 40,000 were borrowed from Xiao Yu and Wang Zhongna, who were under his name. A total of 100,000 taels are required. Please accept them with a smile."
Every time a word is said, it is like cutting off a piece of flesh on his body with a knife.
"Well, I have to accept it. Then I will give you a smile." Zhu Yiliu smiled.
Too annoying!
Zhang Jing wished he could spit on that guy, and let him laugh, let him laugh!!!
Zhu Yiliu took the silver note openly and put it in his pocket with peace of mind.
Then, he said slowly: "Eunuch Zhang, wipe your tears, making it look like I bully you. Don't cry in front of me, you know how much money you have."
"Prince Lu..." Zhang Jing wanted to complain, 100,000 taels are not a small amount!
But Zhu Yiliu didn't give him a chance, "Okay, okay, Shu Xiu is pretty good this time, so let's start the apprenticeship ceremony!"
Yang Kang brought a pot of tea, poured a cup, and handed it to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing's body trembled, but now he was not afraid but because he felt sorry for money.
He trembled, kowtowed three times to Zhu Yili, and then bowed to tea: "Master is here, please give me a bow!"
"Okay, okay, since I have handed over Shu Xiu and called him Master, then from now on, you, Zhang Jing, will be my king's son, oh, my king's disciple. Have you heard it?"
"I heard it, Prince Lu." Fu Dahai and Yang Kang answered in unison.
"Little Whale, get up."
What's the name? Xiao Jing... Zhang Jing was going crazy. He was called like this by a teenager. How could he still be in the palace in the future?
"Are you mute?" Zhu Yili's face darkened and he shouted, "Master calls you, don't you know if you agree?"
"Lu, Master, I heard it." Zhang Jing's face turned red, and he really wanted to die.
"Little Whale, you have to listen to your master in the future! Don't think that Master is just a child, so you don't take Master seriously."
"The disciple dare not. Then, in the future, call you Master Lu or call you Prince Lu?"
"You should call him Prince Lu. I remember that I am the master, but you have to call yourself a disciple."
He called Prince Lu, and he knew that he was a disciple... He was fooled and left with 100,000 taels of silver... Zhang Jing felt indescribable.
Zhu Yiliu raised his hand and said, "Little Whale, go back after you've been worshipped. If you haven't eaten breakfast, your master will not leave you for lunch."
It was so harsh to hear the word "little whale" at a time, but Zhang Jing was helpless and replied: "Prince Lu, my disciple will say goodbye."
He is called Prince Lu and must call himself a disciple... This inappropriate title is probably only the alternative person Lu, who is the one who is an alternative person, can think of this incompetent title.
Zhang Jing turned around and turned his head and asked, "Oh, Prince Lu, when will you teach your disciples to make money?"
"Tomorrow." Zhu Yiliu blurted out.
Zhang Jing has gone.
Fu Dahai asked curiously: "Prince Lu, how can you teach Eunuch Zhang to make money tomorrow?"
"You two are going to go with two fishing rods."
"Fishing rod?" Fu Dahai was even more curious, "What are you going to do in this winter?"
Zhu Yili glanced at him: "You pig's brain, of course the fishing rod is used for fishing."
"But, where can I go fishing in the middle of winter?" Fu Dahai felt that his mind was not enough.
"I took Xiao Jing as my disciple because he was stupid, so I had to help him replenish it. Do you also want me to help you replenish your brain?"
"No, no, no..." Fu Dahai was so scared that he waved his hands and heads.
I thought I could never use it. I couldn't get a hundred thousand taels of silver, and I couldn't even buy it for my kidneys, so I had nowhere to borrow it.
And according to Zhang Jing's rhythm, he was called "Xiaohai"... he couldn't stand this stimulation.
"Then get out of here and get ready." Zhu Yiliu made a move to beat someone.
Fu Dahai and Yang Kang ran away in shame.
After leaving Zhao Lingsu, she couldn't wait to ask, "Prince Lu, where is the 100,000 taels of silver, how are you going to spend? If the empress finds out, I'm afraid it will be confiscated."
Zhu Yili stood up and said, "No need to confiscate it, I'll send it to her now."
Zhao Lingsu was shocked. Prince Lu used to be a jealous person! How...
...
Zhu Yiliu was not talking about it. He really went to Empress Dowager Li to prepare to send money.
"Mom, look."
Empress Dowager Li took it and was surprised that they were all top-notch silver notes.
"Liang'er, where did you get it from so much money?"
"Mom, it's all the people's, so you can use it to provide disaster relief? The emperor's inner palace treasury is empty, there are exactly 100,000 taels here, so you can take it all." Zhu Yiliu was very generous.
"Where did this money come from?" Empress Dowager Li asked again with a sharp expression.
"Mom, whether it is the father in the past or the emperor's current dynasty, the ministers below are actually richer than the country. This money was just sent by Zhang Jing."
"Eunuch Zhang sent it? Why did he give you that much money?"
"Because he wants to worship his child as his teacher, this is the reward he gave."
Empress Dowager Li sternly and scolded: "Liang'er, you are making a fuss again."
"Not making a fool of himself, Zhang Jing has really taken the advice of the child as his teacher. Don't worry, mom, the big guys in the palace are not short of money. Didn't mom warn the emperor's brother to take money from the people to use it for the people? Anyway, most of Zhang Jing's money is made."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I don't have a baby. Do you still remember Mr. Zhang's layoff and closure of many mines across the country?"
"Of course I remember."
"Well, should I know the reason?"
"It is because your emperor brother ordered that several more mines be opened across the country to collect taxes and silver as the supply warehouse of the inner government. Each mine sent an eunuch to take the guards to supervise. As a result, those people were domineering when they arrived at the local area, abused local officials and local people, so Mr. Zhang had to persuade your emperor brother to cancel the closure of many mines."
"But does my mother know how much money the mine is? As far as the child knows, in the seventh year of Wanli, more than 40 mines were added nationwide, and the annual income of the inner government supply warehouse increased by 400,000 taels of silver. That is to say, only one mine paid less than 10,000 taels of silver to go home? How is this possible?"
"What does 李六?"
"This income was directly entered into the imperial brother's inner palace's warehousing warehousing, and the general person in charge was Zhang Jing. Why did the imperial eunuchs go to the place and make the officials and the people feel unhappy? Isn't it because they are harsh and forced to take over? However, Zhang Jing is the one who collects the money, and he is the one who does the account. Who has supervised and checked from beginning to end?"
Empress Li pondered about the film and then murmured: "What does Liu'er mean is Eunuch Zhang embezzlement and bribe?"
Zhu Yiliu was determined: "Mom, do you still need to ask?"
Empress Li calmed down for a while: "Liang'er, why did you think of these?"
"My mother was thinking about the homeless refugees and beggars, and asked the emperor to allocate 100,000 taels of silver from the inner government's supply and use warehouse, but the silver from the supply and use warehouse had long been spent."
"Yes." Empress Dowager Li nodded in cooperation.
"Maybe my mother may not know yet? Letting the emperor's brother instruct the Ministry of Revenue to transfer Taicang silver through Master Shen Ge was a bad idea from Zhang Jing. The child just took the trick and took out the money from Zhang Jing's pocket. One hundred thousand taels would be a big deal for him."
"But if you force him to ask for money like this, and he will take out so much at once, don't he have to find a place to fill it? In the end, the people and poor families are suffering."
"Mom, no," Zhu Yiliu swore, "The child has accepted Zhang Jing as his disciple, and he will not have the opportunity to embezzle and accept bribes and victims in the future."
"Liang'er is young, how could He De accept Eunuch Zhang as his disciple? Are you not afraid of others' jokes when you speak out?" Empress Dowager Li spoke in a reprimanding tone.
Zhu Yili smiled and said, "The child is the master and Zhang Jing is the disciple. If you are afraid of others' jokes, he is afraid of it, not the child!"
