Chapter 289 Your credit and grievance, we all understand(1/2)

Since King Yu accepted such a 10 million taels of silver, there was nothing to worry about.

Many people know clearly what the imperial warehousing is now.

If the emperor had not tried every means to get a lot of money in the past two years and took it all out this year, I'm afraid the court's finances would have collapsed long ago.

This is no joke.

Officials in Beijing have not received any salary for five consecutive months since they were above the seventh rank.

Although the Empress Dowager had already passed on a message to everyone and said that she would definitely give everyone a reward by the end of the year, everyone was still depressed.

The feeling of getting money every month is different from the last month.

Now the ministers above are a little better, but many of the middle and lower officials below are a little miserable, and many of them have to borrow money to live.

Everyone knows that the situation is very difficult now, and all military supplies and money must be supplied to the soldiers on the front line, but if some salary is not paid, there may be problems.

Wang Zhigeng is not a person who knows the sufferings of the world in daily life. Their standard for selecting censors is to recruit from middle-class families.

This will ensure that they will not like fish and people like the upper class, nor do they have to make money like the lower class. Once they succeed, they will be crazy about making money, and they will dream of being afraid of returning to poverty.

Do you understand?

So in fact, those who are in the censor or supervisory department are looking for the poor, they are looking for the wrong ones!

The imperative for the poor to climb up far exceeds the middle class. Once they have the chance, they will be crazy.

Unexpectedly, Dakang's Taizu actually had such a vision, which was really amazing.

Therefore, after Wang Zhigeng knew that he could not severely punish Liu Mingqi, he immediately changed his method, which could not only solve the current problems of the court, but also suppress the Prince Yu's Mansion.

After all, if a family is too rich, it will not be a good thing for the world.

Not long after, Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing were taken out.

The location is the Queen Mother's bedroom, where the Queen Mother, Emperor, King Su, King Yi and King Yu are all there.

Yiwang just arrived.

He had the best luck. Originally, the emperor ordered him not to come out or do anything.

As a result, when his son arrived in the capital today, he had not yet found a way to save people. The emperor here sent eunuchs to tell him that it was fine.

Only after arriving at the Queen Mother's bedroom did he realize the mystery.

At the same time, on the way here, Zhao Shou also told Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing what happened in and out of the palace today.

So after greeting the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Elders, Liu Mingqi first said: "Dad, you are so easy to bully? This is ten million taels of silver. How can our family have that much money?"

Although King Yu was relatively weak in qualifications and had no intention of doing anything big on weekdays, he already knew how inappropriate it would be to agree so readily.

Seeing his son accusing him, he nodded quickly: "Isn't this in a hurry to save you? You have to admit that you don't have money!"

"What do you recognize if you don't have money?" Liu Mingqi turned around and said to Jing Hedi: "Your Majesty, is there a possibility of a discount?"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Emperor Jing He clearly liked this nephew very much, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel disgusted, "What are you pretending to be in front of our family? Although 10 million taels of silver are more, you can earn it back in at most two or three years! Isn't this what you are helping the court? "

"It's okay to help the imperial court, but the money is too much, right?" Liu Mingqi looked distressed, "How many pieces of soap do you have to sell!"

"Come on!"

Jing Hedi exposed him again, "Don't you know that your boric acid soap is selling crazy this year?"

When marching and fighting, wound infection is the most troublesome thing.

After being injured, you don’t have much time to slowly bandage and treat it. Therefore, in ancient times, more than half of the deaths in wars came from the lack of good care after being injured.

Now it’s different with boric acid soap.

If conditions do not allow, use boric acid soap and water to melt, then clean the wound, and then bandage it with gauze, so that most of the minor wounds will be fine.

Wars have been very frequent in the past few months, and there are wars everywhere, so the imperial court has been purchasing boric acid soap and sending it to the front line.

This also affects the production of soap.

"Then why don't you say that our business to Jiangnan this year has been greatly affected and has basically come to a halt?" Liu Mingqi complained, "The people in Jiangnan are the richest, and they were consumed the most, but they can't sell them now. How much have we lost?

There is also sugar cane, a raw material for sugar. Without the supply from Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, what kind of sugar will be sold this year? Where can I make money with big white rabbit milk candy? That’s it! We all have to give 10 million taels of silver!?”

The emperor was speechless.

He could not have imagined that even if Liu Mingqi was fighting outside, he would be fine in Yemen.

He really couldn't say anything about Liu Mingqi.

So he had to use the dignity of his elders: "Just be content! I didn't even talk about you. How could you have such courage? You pretended to be the prince's support, and then made the Emperor's Day and the fake Huang Yue? By the way... Isn't there no bamboo in the north?"

The Emperor’s Day is made of bamboo, and the festival of each section of the bamboo is a very important symbol.

But bamboo only grows in the south, not in the north, let alone in Liaoning.

"I asked them to peel the trees overnight and then use rice to stick them on the clay." Liu Mingqi said: "Then she also made the painter look so beautiful. Not to mention that they were so far away, even if they had a clairvoyance, they wouldn't be able to see clearly."

"You have a lot of evil things." The emperor scolded: "Don't do this in the future! Those who don't know would think you are competing for the throne with your brother!"

The eyes of the princes next to them moved.

I think the emperor still wants to give the throne to his son, even though he is young, he has not yet been born.

At the same time, this also proves that the emperor was not prepared for Liu Mingqi.

Such words made the old lady who had been smiling and watching them very happy.

A family should look like a family!

Liu Mingqi listened but had to argue: "Your Majesty, you don't know how urgent the situation was at that time. If you don't believe me, ask Mingjing! After Fang Xiaopang and Mingyou burned the entire camp that time, 50,000 or 60,000 people were burned and trampled to death in one breath! There were countless injuries!

Originally, this was because we were almost unable to defend ourselves, but we didn't expect that this prompted them to use troops to fight one place and count the other! It made us a little bit backfired.

You already know what the consequences will be if we lose Ningyuan City! If we don’t take any measures, it will be too dangerous! Even if we don’t have any measures for our Dakang territory, but for the people in hundreds of thousands of cities, I have to think of some bad ideas!

Any other bad idea that makes them more excited than pretending to be the prince? Aren’t these savages just thinking about humiliating us? How nice they are to capture Prince Dakang!”

Emperor Jing He was still a little moved when he heard the person involved say this.

The reason why Liu Mingqi did this was that he knew what it was for when he received Liu Mingqi's letter, so he said that he was a good child at that time.

Now that he heard Liu Mingqi's inner journey, he sighed even more: "You are too reckless in doing things... don't you think of your parents? Don't you think of your emperor grandma?"

"Who said I didn't think about it? I'm afraid of death!" Liu Mingqi said, "But such a dangerous thing, Shi Wei will obviously attack Jinzhou City crazily. If I don't sacrifice, Mingjing will not sacrifice. We two will run away after we planted the flag. Are we worthy of the 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers who are still fighting? Are we worthy of the people who risk our lives every day to send us all kinds of supplies and food?"

Liu Mingjing also nodded: "Mingqi and I are the same as I think. They are both like this. Either you will hold on to it or you will die! At least we will do our best... As a result, we didn't expect that Zhang Qin and Xiong Dabao were treacherous and were really bastards!"

What he said was naturally that Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin tied them up and sent them to hot air balloons.

But when it comes to this, the emperor nodded happily: "At the critical moment, Dabao and Zhang Qin are still reliable!"

To be honest, if things really come to that point, Zhang Qin and Xiong Dabao will send Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing out, that would be a great blessing in the misfortune.

No matter how much the emperor pitys the people, it is impossible to compare them with his two nephews.

If he had to choose one, he would definitely choose to save his two nephews.

In fact, this is normal.

If there are 100,000 ordinary people on one side and your parents on the other side, how do you choose?

Normal people choose their parents.

So if you want to do something abnormal, it is only possible for extraordinary people to do it. We are all mortals, so there is no need to worry too much.

"It's better to come back!"

King Yi, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have to thank you for tied this guy to me, otherwise I would never be able to stand the second worry and fear."

"father……"

"Shut up!"

Liu Mingjing was suppressed all of a sudden.

However, he did not admit defeat, but the hero did not suffer any loss in front of him. I will talk about this later.

He didn't believe it anymore, could this kid Liu Mingqi hold back?

Wouldn't it be fun to follow his boy and go out to kill the enemy together?

But Liu Mingjing never expected that Liu Mingqi immediately said, "Brother Yi Wang is right! We shouldn't worry about our family... Grandma Huang, Dad, after I came back this time, I decided to get married! After marrying my wife, I would also pass on the family line for the Liu family and live a peaceful and down-to-earth life."

"ah!?"

King Yu was shocked, thinking that it was my son who said this?

The emperor was also stunned.

What tricks does this kid do?

Only the Empress Dowager stood up happily: "Mingqi! Grandma Huang has been waiting for you for too long! Tell me, which girl do you like? Grandma Huang personally goes to match you, and you have to grab it back even if you grab it!"

"I don't have a girl I like very much, but it doesn't matter if I am pretty and have a good figure. What's important is to have a kind heart and know how to respect the emperor and my parents." Liu Mingqi said, "Oh, by the way, the emperor, have you heard from His Majesty? Baekje gave me a little princess, who is pretty and has a good personality. I'm going to take her as a concubine and be with Sister Su."

"Okay! OK! OK!"
