At the beginning, everyone didn't think anything of it, but when they heard that what they said later involved their own interests, they felt that what they said was very reasonable. They all felt that the high officials in the court must be short-sighted people, otherwise how could they force Wu to do so?
Would you rather raise your own money to fight the war? Those Japanese pirates have been causing trouble in the Central Plains for many years. How can I do it without punishing them? How can I show my great power?
At this moment, someone sneered and said: "You still expect the officials in the court to do business, but you won't be able to do it when you are blind! How can any official in the court not be greedy? Let alone dividing the money, it is just used for it.
The money for the war was distributed, but the soldiers didn't even know how many taels of silver they had in their hands, and they had been stolen long ago!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately agreed angrily! People in the capital had a wide range of sources of information, so they could naturally hear a lot of news. Besides, it was not a secret matter for the imperial court to withhold military pay. It was well known to everyone that he was peeling off layers of skin and doing it by his own hands, so everyone
The target was pointed at the officials in the imperial court, and they were scolded for being short-sighted and greedy! Naturally, these remarks spread throughout the capital like ripples on the water!
When Liu Haojia accompanied Zhang Jia to the second floor, many people were talking and laughing loudly around Xu Xigao, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo. The reason why he became the focus of the crowd was because his family's title was here, and on the other hand, he became the focus of the crowd.
It was Duke Ding who generously sent 20,000 taels of silver, and he was second to none among the many nobles!
At that time, many people laughed at Ding Guogong for throwing silver into the water, but now it seems that Ding Guogong has a unique vision! Not only did he recover his original capital by throwing away 20,000 taels of silver, but he almost earned back more than 10,000 taels of silver! He was also well-informed.
The nobles also know that Liu Haojia also placed an order for twelve thousand taels of iron ore and pig iron to the Dingguo Palace!
What is iron ore? It is a thing with no capital. The only capital is the miners' food and wages! As for pig iron, at most it costs more for charcoal! So everyone looked at Dingguo Gongfu with envy!
And regardless of how much money he earned, after all, when he reached the position of Duke Dingguo, money was just a number! But the most important point was that he took out so much money, which was a complete expression of his loyalty to the royal family! This time
.Not only did he win the gratitude of the royal family, but he also made money for his family. It’s really amazing! Look at this picture, when the father-in-law climbed up the stairs, he handed over to Xu Xigao first and didn’t pay attention to anyone else!
When everyone saw Zhang Jia coming in, they knew that he was here on behalf of the emperor, and they all stepped forward to say hello. And Zhang Jia's attitude definitely represented the royal family's closeness to the nobles! And Zhang Jia's judgment was extremely accurate!
To those nobles who had empty honors and empty pockets, Zhang Jia's attitude was still eager and in line with etiquette. To those who clearly had money but were reluctant to take it out, he just said hello lightly.
Xu Xigao and a few other understanding people are extremely enthusiastic!
Seeing this scene, everyone secretly sighed, one wrong step would be a big mistake, they can only think of a way to follow up next time!
After everyone chatted for a while, they all sat down. At this time, Liu Haojia and I walked to the middle of the second floor and cupped our hands in all directions, then stamped our feet and said, "Everyone, does it feel good to have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver under your feet?"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter and cheered! Some even stomped their feet vigorously, as if they wanted to trample through the floor!
Liu Haojia waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "I know what everyone is thinking now. Everyone wants to know how much money they got from this trip, and how much money can be divided among each family, right? So we won't say more,
Let’s get down to business first, then drink and listen to music, okay?”
Liu Haojia's answer was a burst of cheers! It seems that these people are also eager to know how much money they can get!
Liu Haojia called for an account manager. When he came up, he bowed to all directions and then began to read out the account book in a precise manner. Each harvest must be explained in detail, and he also explained in detail which items were used as military supplies. Payment
How much money was paid, what happened to what things, everyone was very upset when they heard it!
Finally, someone said loudly: "Master Hou, let him directly tell you how much money each family can share. It doesn't matter whether you think about these things or not! Since I have invested money in Master Hou, how can I still not trust Master Hou!"
Liu Haojia did as they wished and directly ordered the accountant to announce the final result. The accountant directly changed the account book and started reading again. This was different. He read out the principal and profit of each family in order of investment.
Every time he reads out a profit, the person next to him will stand up and raise his hands to greet everyone, looking triumphant! Coupled with the applause of everyone, the atmosphere on the entire second floor can be said to be harmonious and happy!
After everyone knew how much money they could get, the atmosphere in the building had reached its climax! Everyone was smiling and congratulating each other. Although there was no wine on the table, only dried fruits, fruits and tea, everyone still kept repeating it over and over again.
We had tea to celebrate each other!彡彡訁凊
At this time, Liu Haojia once again stood in the middle of the building and said loudly: "Everyone, do you feel good about having money?"
Everyone responded in unison: "Okay!"
Liu Haojia said loudly again: "Do you want to do it again?"
This time he was answered with even more enthusiastic cheers! But Liu Haojia spread his hands and said: "But it won't work in a short time. If you want to do it again, you have to wait for a while!"
Everyone laughed and cursed when they heard his words! But they also knew that such a thing could not be done for a long time and could only be done occasionally. But then someone loudly said: "Do you know that you look like a robber sitting on the ground and dividing the loot?
head?"
But before Liu Haojia could speak, Xu Xigao was already flushed with excitement and shouted loudly: "Everyone here is an honorable person. I don't know where my ancestors' property came from. They were all stolen!"
Someone immediately echoed and said: "That's right, our ancestors earned this family fortune by fighting with Taizu Taizong. But now that the world has been at peace for a long time, we can't stand on horseback and fight everywhere with swords. It's really sad!"
Liu Haojia said loudly at this time: "Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne and there are wise ministers in the government, it is the time to accumulate national strength. Maybe one day I will open up the territory again in the Ming Dynasty! So you should train your servants after you go back.
Waiting for the opportunity to come! As long as we follow the footsteps of the Holy Emperor, the world is so big that there is nowhere for us to go!"
Liu Haojia's words made everyone shout wildly and even praise Emperor Wanli. Zhang Jia smiled and narrowed his eyes! Then Liu Haojia said: "Okay, let's do the most important thing and divide the money!"
