Han Shizu

Chapter 577

"I would like to donate [-] guan to be used by the lord!" Before a stick of incense arrived, a fat old man stood up, smiling brightly, and said positively.This person is specialized in livestock business. There are quite a lot of meat shops in Tokyo cities. Every year, he transports and sells sheep, pigs and other poultry and livestock in Beijing, all of which are in the tens of thousands.

Someone took the lead, and then someone stood up and pledged donations, ranging from [-] guan to [-] guan.Each of them had a positive attitude, but "stingy" shots, and observed Murong Yanchao's expression, paying attention to his demeanor.

Murong Yanchao is also a person who likes to make money, and he has devoted himself to researching the way of breeding goods on weekdays, and has also met many merchants.Seeing the performance of these people at this time, it was immediately obvious that these people were also playing "bargaining" tricks with him when it came to donating money, and the preliminary quotations also tested his attitude.

Thinking of this, Murong Yanchao immediately became unhappy.Thinking of his majestic uncle, the governor of Kaifeng, who personally invited him to serve him tea, and gave out such a "little" money after all the good words.He, Murong Yanchao, when was he so easy to talk, and time and face were so cheap?

Of course, there are more than 20 people, and there are 10,000+ money in total, which is more than the first batch of money allocated by Liu Chengyou.However, Murong Yanchao spent so much effort, how could he be satisfied like this.

"Hehe." Murong Yanchao smiled subtly, and took a sip of the tea that he was not good at tasting.

When he reacted like this, the wealthy merchants who were good at observing words and demeanor couldn't help but feel their hearts twitch. Obviously, Lord Murong Mansion was not satisfied.

"Did you remember all the donations you pledged just now?" Murong Yanchao tilted his head, and the court official gave him a wink.

The clerk understood, got up a little "terrified", cupped his hands and said: "Please forgive me, the lord, the villain is slow and clumsy, and I haven't remembered everything."

"Then record it again!" Murong Yanchao waved his hand lightly, looked around with a cold face, and said, "The time for a stick of incense has not yet come!"

The meaning is obvious, let's pledge again!
The rich merchants present gradually became serious, and seriously considered how much blood they would have to bleed to satisfy Murong Yanchao.

"The old man pledged to donate one hundred thousand coins!" When everyone was hesitating, a loud voice interrupted the tranquility of the scene.

Everyone followed the prestige, seeing Changsi, and came slowly.When Murong Yanchao saw him, his black face stretched out, he got up to greet him, and cupped his hands and said, "Why is Mr. Chang here?"

Chang Si had a forced smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty raised money for the expansion of the city, and I was ordered to assist you. How can you do your best and do your best!"

"Mr. Chang is worthy of being the old man of Hedong! Come, please sit down!" Murong Yanchao laughed, and led Chang Si to his seat, and asked: "Duke Chang said you donate money, are you serious?"

Wen Wen asked, although his heart was bleeding, but Chang Si still pretended to be candid and replied: "In front of the palace, everyone is by your side, so there is nothing wrong with it. The old man is deeply favored by the country, and now he can repay it!"

"Mr. Chang is really a loyal minister!" Murong Yanchao laughed twice, and the court official ordered: "Make a note for Mr. Chang!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the pledge book, writing the pen and writing, Chang Si's heart felt like a knife was twisted, and he was in great pain.As soon as this came out, he had accumulated and worked hard for many years, nearly half of his family's wealth, but it was gone.

He originally deliberately refused to listen to Guo Rong's suggestion, but Wang Jingchong's wolf was still in Luzhou, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and no matter how reluctant he was, he finally decided to spend money to buy peace.

Chang Si's heroic throw made the breath of the rich and wealthy present a little short. For people like them, one hundred thousand dollars is not easy to take out.Looking at Murong Yanchao's face, he became more and more serious. If this is used as a standard, it is not just bleeding.

"Your Majesty, I would like to donate [-] guan, and [-] shi each for corn!" At this time, He Fuyin fought, bowed to speak, and looked calm.

Seeing this, Murong Yanchao couldn't help but sized him up a few times. He also had an impression of this giant businessman who was active around the rich and powerful.There was a smile on his face, he nodded his head approvingly, and said, "This is a righteous businessman!"

"Write it down!" Obviously, Murong Yanchao was very satisfied with what He Fuyin said, pointed his finger at him, looked at him, and said, "Don't worry, neither the imperial court nor the government will treat those who have meritorious deeds badly!"

"Thank you, Lord!" He Fuyin replied respectfully.

After He Fuyin, this fundraising party finally started at a correct rhythm that satisfied Murong Yanchao. The people invited asked for donations one after another, and the widow also pledged to donate [-] guan.

After the consummation ended, Murong Yanchao held a banquet in the Yamen to entertain the merchants, and only let them go back after "the guests and hosts had a good time", preparing to pledge money and food.

"I heard that Kaifeng Mansion held a donation party, and the gains were not banditry. How much?" Walking among the palace rooms, Liu Chengyou asked curiously.

"According to the report, everyone enthusiastically pledged donations, and the rewards they received amounted to about one million guan, and another [-] shi! The cost of Tokyo's renovation and expansion is enough to last for half a year!" Li Fang reported the data he wrote down. With Liu Chengyou.

"It's really quite a lot!" Liu Chengyou's mouth was slightly raised, with a slack on his face, and he said with emotion: "It's a bit beyond my expectation. I still remember that when I first entered Tokyo, all industries were sluggish, and the country was poor and the people were poor. I don't want this number In the past years, such wealth has been accumulated, and the wealthy businessmen in Tokyo have such wealth in their hands."

"It's all thanks to His Majesty's hard work in governing the country, stabilizing law and order, encouraging farmers and businessmen, exempting exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and resulting in the recovery of all industries!" Li Fang complimented.

"Isn't this pledging a harsh donation?" Liu Chengyou said.

Li Fang replied: "If there is no imperial government policy, there will be no gathering of those merchants. This is an opportunity for them to repay the imperial court!"

"Furthermore, merchants seek fame and fortune. This time, while the government raises funds, they also give them fame and wealth back. How can they actively pledge donations!" Li Fang said again, with contempt for merchants unavoidable in his words.

Liu Chengyou smiled lightly: "My uncle, this method of making money is extraordinary. I have the heart, let him work in the third department!"

Of course, Liu Chengyou was only joking. Murong Yanchao's master is not making money, but using his power to plunder money.Such a donation, if Liu Chengyou hadn't mentioned it on the Internet, according to Murong Yanchao's style, it would have been forcibly forced, and the merchants had no name or profit.

"In addition, Chang Si, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, donated [-] guan!" Li Fang glanced at Liu Chengyou and reported.

"I have been in the town for many years, and I have gained a lot!" Liu Chengyou said calmly, waving his hands.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou gave instructions to Li Fang: "Pass down my decree and warn Murong Yanchao that although materials such as bricks, tiles, stones, and wood needed to build the city can be distributed to all merchants, the quality must be strictly controlled, and those who cut corners will be severely punished." No loan!"

"Yes!"

When I returned to the government hall, my buttocks were still warm, Tongshi reported, the doctor Yushi and Zhongcheng, Bian Guixuan, and Zhao Li joined hands to meet.

Leaning back on the throne, Liu Chengyou glanced at Bian and Zhao indifferently. The two stood in front of the emperor with their hands tied, facing the emperor's scrutiny. There was a hint of uprightness in their calm faces.

Liu Chengyou withdrew his gaze and asked, "Second Qing came hand in hand, and the one you are looking for is still for Wang Jingchong?"

"Your Majesty's lesson, it's right!" Bian Guizhen clapped his hands in response.

"Wang Jingchong acted arbitrarily and arrogantly in the local area. Every time he passed by, he abused power and violated the system. He used it harshly and collected it so much. It can be described as shocking. In the name of an angel, he did things that harmed officials and the people. Now the local officials and people, There are already many complaints. This person has corrupted the majesty of the court and damaged your Majesty's holy name. Please also call back this treacherous and cruel official and interrogate him for his crimes, so as to reassure people's hearts!" Bian Guixuan said: "I have already written a memorial, I implore Your Majesty, Listen to the advice!"

Zhao Li also said: "Your Majesty, right now inside and outside of Tokyo, people are angry. Local officials are in danger. Everyone is in danger. If things go on like this, troubles will inevitably arise. Your Majesty has worked hard to govern the government so that people's livelihood can be stabilized. Don't let a treacherous minister bring chaos to the world!"

"Hehe!" Liu Chengyou laughed: "A mere Wang Jingchong can mess up the world of my great man. Do you think highly of him, or look down on me?"

"I dare not wait!" Hearing the emperor's harsh words, Bian and Zhao subconsciously bent their waists.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou looked at the two of them seriously: "The people Wang Jingchong inspected, ranging from Jiedu to officials and people, are all based on real evidence. They are greedy, shouldn't they be investigated?"

Bian and Zhao were silent.Seeing that the emperor was still defending Wang Jingchong, Bian Guizhen replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if there is any lawlessness, the local officials can be dispatched to investigate according to the law. I don’t understand the general situation, his body is not straight, his behavior is not right, this is a chaotic minister. Please think twice, Your Majesty!”

"According to Qing Bian's words, if I use Wang Jingchong, it is breaking the law and messing with the government?"

"Your Majesty has no such intentions! I hope that Your Majesty will take the overall situation into consideration and collect all kinds of chapters to win people's hearts!"
