Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 472 Hundred Officials Donate Silver!

Can't write!
After saying these words, even Yu Chigong's face turned red and hot at the moment!

It's shameful, it's really embarrassing, as one of the four marshals of Prince Qin's mansion, and a famous unparalleled warrior in the Tang Dynasty, Yu Chigong can't write, isn't this a disgrace to my lord!

But the problem is that Yu Chigong really can't write. He grew up in a poor family, and because of his strange appearance and extremely dark skin, he was often teased by others. How could he learn how to read and write?
After fighting for decades, Yu Chigong may know a whole bunch of characters. Although these characters must be the size of steamed buns, the problem is that knowing characters does not mean being able to write!

"Uh……"

Li Mo was stunned by Yu Chigong's words,
No wonder the Generalissimo stood there in a daze for a long time without moving, dare to say that he couldn't write at all!

At this moment, seeing Yu Chigong's irritated eyes and hot face, Li Mo was also a little embarrassed for a while,

He really didn't know that Yu Chigong couldn't write, so he didn't think much about handing the brush to Yu Chigong directly, but he never expected that there were so many illiterates in Datang

If this was placed in future generations, Yu Chigong would be considered the commander of the military region, but such a dignified commander can't even write,
Let alone being a commander, this kind of person might not even be able to pass the medical examination for enlisting in the army. The literacy rate in this ancient time is too low!
But think about it, it seems that at this time there is no Three Character Classic, a hundred surnames, this kind of educational text that is easy to understand, easy to learn and easy to remember has not yet appeared.

(The Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames all appeared in the Song Dynasty)
"Uh, if that's the case, let me do it for the Marshal!"

Li Mo smiled and took back the brush in Yuchigong's hand, turned around and walked to the long scroll unfolded by Xiao Xiunv, and wrote eight big characters, Yuchigong donated 5000 taels of silver!
Li Mo didn't write to Yuchi Gong. Wei Zheng donated 5000 taels. You, Yuchi Gong, are embarrassed to be lower than Wei Zheng's donation, right?
Originally, Li Mo wanted to donate 6000 taels or 8000 taels to Yuchi Gong, but the situation just now was a bit embarrassing, so he should spend less money and find a way for the generalissimo!
He watched the brush reach his hand, and watched the brush pass from his hand to King Yan's hand,
Then he wrote the words of donating 5000 taels of silver on the long scroll, and then pressed his fingerprints in a daze, Yu Chigong was nothing but embarrassment from beginning to end!
At this moment, Qin Wangfu, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others almost all covered their faces with their hands, and couldn't bear to witness that this wave of King Yan won all!
A few of them wanted to excuse Yu Chigong just now, but they were stopped by His Royal Highness Yan Wang with extremely strong eyes, and Yu Chigong's brain was too slow to react.
Just now Cheng Yaojin blinked at Duke Yuchi, tears almost came out, but this Yuchigong didn't react at all, and was forcefully donated 5000 taels by His Royal Highness King Yan!
A salary of 5000 taels would not be able to be saved for more than a year. Of course, the income of everyone in the Qin Palace would definitely not rely solely on salary like Wei Zheng.

Li Shimin was well aware of this matter, but he didn't stop him too much. After all, Li Shimin is the biggest expert in this kind of matter that can't be put on the table. Not too over the top is fine!
And as for people like Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, it's not too easy to make some extra money. If you just report a few empty salaries, the annual military expenditure is an astronomical sum!
……

Yu Chigong has already been settled by Li Mo, who forced him to donate 5000 taels!
Coupled with King Yan’s 10 taels to suppress the audience, and Wei Zheng’s 5000 taels straight to the point, the progress of the charity conference in front of Chengtian Gate has been accelerated a lot!
Still starting from the Prince Qin’s Mansion, Changsun Wuji Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin all started at 5000 taels, even Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was no exception, and King Yan even asked for an extra 1000 taels for an excuse. Became the person who donated the most among hundreds of officials in this charity conference,
As for the Prince's Mansion, everyone did not run away either. Li Mo stood in front of the Chengtian Gate, watching the hundreds of officials file out one by one, with a smile on his face, but he was thinking about the next time he was blocked. The door should find some excuse,
After all, this business is really easy to make money. For this forced donation, the chiefs of the three provinces and six ministries started with 5000 taels, and Li Mo had a famous saying first. The donation for this charity conference must not be less than 1000 taels.

So even though these civil and military officials were all crying for their fathers and calling them poor, Li Mo had absolutely no intention of letting them go.

Some of these people may be really poor, but if they want to get 1000 taels, there should be no problem!
And as for some people's worries, will these civil and military officials get worse after getting money like this from Li Mo, and the common people will use various names to expand their income...

Li Mo laughed immediately, if the civil and military officials of the court dared to do this, wouldn't Wei Zheng have something else to do?

Wei Zheng's historically recognized human mirror is not there for nothing. As long as officials are really corrupt, what awaits them is the fate of the 13 officials impeached by Wei Zheng before!

On this matter, Li Mo can guarantee that Wei Zheng is definitely the most active!
When all the civil and military officials of the imperial court passed through Chengtianmen, the long scroll in the hands of the beautiful girl Wu Meiniang was already filled with the names of all the civil and military officials, and their fingerprints were pressed!
Looking at the name written in black and white, and looking at the extremely bright red handprints, Li Mo was instantly elated,

The donations made by the officials this time are definitely quite a lot, conservatively estimated to be as much as 30 million taels, and may even be more.
Although this is only a drop in the bucket compared with the 600 million yuan for disaster relief,
But this is just a matter of talking, just talking, you can have the net income of Yanwang Mansion for a month or two,

This is a complete surprise to Li Mo.

It's a pity that such a thing may not happen again in the future. Of course, it's hard to say. If there is another chance, Li Mo doesn't mind squeezing the officials again!
Anyway, these civil and military officials are all fed by his Li family, and they are all paid by Datang's salary, so what if they share some of it?
"Thank you, my lords, for your generosity. On behalf of the people of the three realms, I thank you, my lords. Tonight, no, now this king will order the craftsmen to engrave the silver taels donated by the adults on this scroll, and set up a stone tablet. Stand on Zhuque Avenue for the admiration of the people of Chang'an!"
