Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 372 Dragon Boat Festival!
The courtiers all hoped that King Yan would cancel this deceitful act without paying money, and they all accused Wu Zhi of doing wrong.

Although they knew it would be very difficult to accomplish, they would be able to spend less money if it did.

Who has trouble with money?

A courtier said: "Your Majesty, King Yan now asks us to pay 10 taels. It's not that we don't want to pay the money, it's just that it's too much!"

"Your Majesty, can you slow down? Although the imperial court wants to spend money, it is my duty to do so, but the amount of money I really cannot afford!"

Everyone said to each other, Wu Zhi smiled and said: "You can't bear it, and the king didn't force you to pay the money?

This is voluntary. If you can’t afford it, you don’t have to take the money. This king is not buying and selling by force, and he didn’t force everyone? "

amount……

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were a little stunned.

Song Huizong smiled and said: "My dear friends, I think what King Yan said is right. This is a voluntary matter. If you don't want to, you don't have to take the money. No one forces you to take the money. It's not a big deal."

Wu Zhi: "This is all voluntary. Whoever is willing to make an appointment can pay for it. If you don't want to, I will write it down, and I won't look for him next time. Is that okay? This is voluntary participation, and I never It is difficult for the strong!"

Everyone was choked by Wu Zhi's words.

That's right, if you think it costs a lot, why don't you buy it?
Who forced you?

Originally, the courtier had made up his mind before, since he said so, he would not hand it over.

But Wu Zhi said that he would write them down, isn't this a clear threat?
Grass!
Some courtiers really want to cry but have no tears.

Wu Zhi didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew what it meant.

It's all accounted for, who can't see it?
At that time, the small books will be shown to the officials, who will know who has paid and who has not.

If this has a bad impression on the officials, it may be difficult to get promoted in the future.

The officials and Wu Zhi stood on the same line to make money, and they could only admit that they were unlucky.

They dare not fail to pay.

Seeing that the resistance was futile, Cai Jing had already expected it.

Who is this Wu Zhi?

The things he made did not allow everyone to take advantage of the loopholes.

It's really ruthless for people to keep accounts for you.

It is more ruthless than coercion, forcing people to at least have something to say, buying and selling by force, but Wu Zhi said it was voluntary, how can people refute it?

You don't have to buy it, but do they dare?If everyone else pays and they don't, it's not to make the officials unhappy.

If they join forces and don't pay, that's fine, but the problem is that damn Cai Jing set an example?
He is willing to support it!

So are you giving it or not?If you don't give it, you will offend the officials, King Yan, and Cai Jing?

Ever since, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were not stubborn at all, who made fun of their own future.

Money is a small matter, but the future is a big thing.

So when they retired, everyone still handed in money one after another.

Soon, nearly 2000 million silver taels came to Wu Zhi.

back yard.

When Song Huizong knew that there was so much money, Song Huizong was overjoyed: "These courtiers said they had no money, didn't they hand in all of it? And it was 2000 million!"

"King Yan, you are really amazing!" Song Huizong gave Wu Zhi a thumbs up, which was amazing.

The money in the national treasury is only tens of millions every year, and now there are 2000 million. Where can I find it!
Song Huizong had to admire Wu Zhi's ability to pit money.

After finding a watermelon and getting some vegetables, the courtiers can take the initiative to hand it over.

The key point is that they didn't ask you for nothing, they gave you something.

Just not now.

Song Huizong became more and more fond of Wu Zhi's ability to make money.

Now the treasury of the Song Dynasty is still full, but it is better to have more money. After all, there are many places under the management of the Song Dynasty, and the expenses are still very high.

But after stabilization, income will skyrocket.

Song Huizong said with a smile: "I got so much money from the courtiers this time, they are inevitably a little dissatisfied. I decided to entertain the courtiers on the Dragon Boat Festival, so that I can have a good time and have a good festival!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi counted the days, and it was indeed almost the Dragon Boat Festival.

His wife is probably about to give birth.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, even if those courtiers plunder some of their money, they will do nothing, but what your majesty said is right, take advantage of the festivities and entertain the ministers, and your majesty can relax himself."

Anyway, the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom have all been wiped out now, and the Song Dynasty has no threat for the time being. It only needs to manage the world and stabilize the people's hearts.

Today's festival is the most stable in Song Dynasty.

Nothing is missing.

Enjoy the holidays with peace of mind.

Wu Zhi can also ask his wives and concubines to prepare well.

Speaking of Dragon Boat Festival.

It was also a very lively festival in the Northern Song Dynasty.

According to the customs of the time, wormwood, pomegranate, etc. must be tied into bundles and inserted on the door before dawn.

Some also weave wormwood into human form, or simply decorate it as a portrait of Zhang Tianshi.Cut moxa into small tigers, or stick moxa leaves on the ribbon-cut tigers, and wear them on the head to avoid evil spirits.

It is said that wormwood represents Zhaobaifu, and it is a medicinal herb that can cure diseases. If it is inserted at the door, it can make the body healthy.

As a few days passed, the entire world of Song Dynasty began to boil with the advent of the festival.

Many people are happy to celebrate the festival and prepare various things.

The Dragon Boat Festival in the palace is even more grand.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the red gauze color gold box elaborately made by the Six Shang Bureau of the Song Dynasty has already been filled with artificial pictographs, including snakes, scorpions and other five kinds of poisonous insects. Surrounding, showing to dispel disasters and misfortunes.

On the day of the festival, Song Huizong also rewarded the concubine and the eunuchs around him with sachets, incense pendants and soft incense.Officials can wear light gauze clothes when they go to court, and the academy also writes court posts and sings praises to officials, queens and concubines as usual.

Song Huizong's annual Dragon Boat Festival is very grand.

In gatherings of ministers, besides eating and drinking, there will also be various performances for fun. Anyway, the palace is very big, enough for these people to entertain.

now.

Amidst the sound of the pipa solo, Huizong was going to take the lead in eating the first rice dumpling, followed by the ministers eating rice dumpling and drinking, and the music club performed three dances.

But when Song Huizong thought of Wu Zhi, he said: "The Great Song Dynasty is able to have what it is today, thanks to the King of Yan. The first zongzi, the King of Yan, will eat it first!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Wu Zhi naturally couldn't accept it and refused, but Song Huizong insisted on this, and Wu Zhi finally had to take the lead and eat the zongzi first.

This is definitely not in line with the rules, but if it is someone else, it is absolutely impossible. King Yan has indeed made great contributions to Song Dynasty, and it is reasonable to take the lead.

What Cai Jing saw was envy, jealousy and hatred, but he, Cai Jing, had never been treated like this.

Although his flattering skills are top-notch, Wu Zhi doesn't need to do much at all if he does practical things.

This move can also show how much Song Huizong liked Wu Zhi.

In addition to dragon boat races, the Dragon Boat Festival is a variety of performances, which are organized by the palace.

After all, there is a festival in the palace, and you can relax as much as you want.

Today, many princes and nobles came out to the square, and there were many performances on the spot.

People can enjoy while eating, and there are tables and chairs around the square for snacks.

They ate, chatted, and watched the show play.

Live programs include polo, cuju competition, pot throwing, bow shooting, horse racing and so on.

A dragon boat race will also be held later.

Now they mainly watch these performances, and they are also full of admiration when they see the wonderful parts, whispering to each other.Praise someone for their good performance, interesting and so on.

At this moment, Wu Zhi was being toasted in an endless stream.

Originally, Pan Jinlian could come to such a fun festival, because Pan Jinlian was conferred by the imperial court as his wife and had a title and status, but Pan Jinlian was about to give birth, so she didn't come.

It was Zhao Fujin, Hu Sanniang, and Pang Chunmei who came. When they saw these scenes, they also admired the prosperity of the palace. The prepared wine and dishes, tables and chairs, and various utensils are all very valuable.

Of course, as Wu Zhi's concubines, it is impossible for them to appear on the stage, they belong to the family servants.

But if Wu Zhi wants to do this, it's not impossible, but Pang Chunmei and the others also understand the truth, they just watch from the outside and don't get involved in the depths.Not all those in the palace were high-ranking officials, and there were also people who were not so prestigious brought by the courtiers.

Although there were many people at the scene, it was almost impossible for them to get close to the official house.

Wu Zhi's family members came several times.

Li Shishi is doing poetry and painting at home, and doesn't want to participate in this lively scene.

Wu Zhi didn't force it either. After all, Li Shishi and Song Huizong had a delicate relationship in history, so it's better not to meet each other in reality.

Also present were Yue Fei, Wu Song, Hua Zixu, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Song Jiang and others.
