"I guaranteed my life, and no cent of the money I give to the treasury is embezzlement!"

Li Jinglong patted his chest on the spot and spoke righteously.

"Don't be greedy? Can you take out 300,000 or 500,000 at any time?" Zhu Yunyu's body shook on the corvee service, and he snorted with his eyes closed.

Li Jinglong was eager to express himself in front of the emperor and did not delve into the meaning of this sentence.

But Hu Guan felt that the taste was a little wrong. The emperor seemed to be luring Duke Cao to speak?

"Emperor, my grandfather and father both generations followed the Emperor to fight. You know where their generation went, wherever they robbed... That... fought for life, and didn't keep much else, but saved up these yellow and white things!" Li Jinglong explained, "I am greedy for money and have been doing some business in private over the years."

"It's so fucking that he's so angry that he's so angry. I've fought a lot of wars back then, why didn't he steal much stuff?" Hu Guan looked at the mansion of Duke Cao, which was even more magnificent than his princess's mansion, and cursed in his heart, "Does he do business in private? Isn't it a collusion between officials and businessmen? Your Duke Cao is a strong brand, and his reputation is money! Alas, look at him!"

Li Jinglong continued, "The emperor treats me with politeness. A few years ago, the salt and iron sales in Goryeo and the tea gardens in Yunnan are all profits from making money every day. Although I have a lot of money, they are all clean. I have no future, but I also know what money can be taken and what money can't be taken!"

"Actually, I think very thoroughly. How much money can I greedy for corruption, but I will end up losing all of it. Although the money from this transaction sounds bad, it is also innocent."

Zhu Yunxiu half opened his eyes and glanced at him, "Oh, Duke Cao is honest, I've never been greedy for a penny?"

"Absolutely no! I have never had any trouble drinking blood from soldiers in the army before." Li Jinglong said loudly.

"Oh, that's why I remember it wrong!" Zhu Yunxiu sat upright, "It is said that someone was seeking a fat man from the Guangdong Commander last year. He was the way of your Duke Cao. I heard that on the day of meeting, there would be fifty tickets for the leader?"

"I'm good! That's five thousand silver dollars..." Hu Guan cursed in his heart, "It's still a meeting gift, Duke Cao is too dark. It's useless to look for me... it's not a good idea to find me. Who the hell can recognize me in the Governor's Office or the Ministry of War!"

In an instant, Li Jinglong was sweating profusely.

He thought he was doing this secretly, but he didn't expect the emperor to know it clearly.

"I am guilty!" Li Jinglong kowtowed quickly, "The emperor heard from me that I was entrusted by someone else's affairs, so it is hard to refuse. If I don't accept it, I will offend others' face. I have accepted it, but the money has not been moved..."

"If you take the state official position and leave your Duke Cao's favor, this is such a good plan!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "I just said that there was no corruption, doesn't this count?"

"This..." Li Jinglong had a bitter face, "Long live the emperor...member..."

"You also said that your family's money is all made by doing business in private!" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile, "How do you monopolize the market and take advantage of the opportunity to make a comeback? Do you still need me to tell me? Do I need me to send the account book?"

"Long lively, I just said something wrong!" Li Jinglong suddenly said seriously.

"Well, I'll give you a chance to reiterate!" Zhu Yunxiu lay down again and swayed with the rocking chair, closing his eyes.

"There shouldn't be only 300,000 or 500,000 yuan in my family, it should be much more than this!" Li Jinglongs asked, "You also know that I am the boss who is not a housekeeper, and the money is all under my wife's control, so I know it's a rough idea!"

"I just was anxious to tell the emperor that my family's recent investment is not included in the original savings!"

Zhu Yunxiu nodded, "I've given 300,000 or 500,000, you still have savings at home!"

"My father and son are in charge of three generations, and my parents' family are also rich, so they had many dowry back then... In the folk saying, "Widows have a good background in giving birth to sons!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"Oh!" Zhu Yunxiu responded, not speaking.

Li Jinglong lowered his head and his mind was running rapidly.

This scene made Hu watch confused again.

"Thirty or five hundred thousand is not enough, he has to take out more? My goodness, how much money does Duke Cao's family have? No, right? He didn't hear the emperor clearly just now, he deliberately gave the emperor a question and said this matter!"

Hu Guan thought to himself, "How did Li Jinglong's brain grow?"

"I have calculated that the family can take out the same thing now..." As he said that, Li Jinglong gritted his teeth, "It's almost one million and two million."

Suddenly, the rocking chair stopped, and Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes and stared at Li Jinglong, which made the latter feel embarrassed.

He thought of Li Jinglong's family having a lot of ill-gotten gains, but he didn't expect there to be so many. There were so many provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and some of them saved not so much grain tax surplus in a year.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Li Jinglong, this guy is definitely the one who keeps the young and the older ones, and his family...

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the towering warehouses in the backyard of the Li family again.

"The court has temporarily encountered difficulties, and the subjects should serve the country by receiving the favor of the country!" Li Jinglong continued, "I will have someone count it tomorrow and then send it to the national treasury. One is to solve the urgent needs of Yunnan military supplies, the second is to solve the worries of the king and father, and the third is to set an example for the ministers..."

"See what you said!" Zhu Yunxiu stood up, looking at the blooming roses in the flower room with his hands behind his back, "I'm not here to ask for money from you. The treasury is not lacking money, but it's just that I can't move it away for the time being. I can't afford to ask for money from you, the minister of the country, but I can't afford to lose this person. What do others think if it's spread? Oh, I, the emperor, when I have difficulties, I want to take advantage of my ministers. You have been with me for so long, and I don't understand this?"

"Emperor, I voluntarily serve you!" Li Jinglong spoke loudly, "I am very close to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. Who can I not be with the affairs of the country? Only good ministers in the Ming Dynasty can be good, and only good ministers in the emperor can be good!"

"Is it not right!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand, "It's not good if outsiders know it!"

Li Jinglong's mind suddenly lit up and he laughed in a low voice, "Long live, then that's the case, the money is not sent to the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, but sent people directly to the homeland. Where to use it, Long live, you are the decision!"

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes!" Zhu Yunxiu glared, "Outsiders know, how do you think of me?"

"I respect the emperor's private property, but who can't be able to pick on it? Besides, the emperor and the minister..." As he said that, Li Jinglong looked at Hu Guan who was studying silently.

"What do you think of me? Are I a talkative person?" Hu Guan was furious, "Besides, I am the prince consort, I am an outsider?"

"I still think it's inappropriate!" Zhu Yunxiong pondered, "No matter how difficult the military spending is, it can still be raised. I have some private houses. Let's make up, just barely be able to do it!"

"Long live, you...you old minister feel bad! How are you so aggrieved?" Li Jinglong said heartbrokenly, "Everyone says the emperor is the emperor, but what you eat is a little better than the small folk households. Last time I went to see you, you would eat a bowl of noodles for lunch, and at most an egg!"

"The palace looks magnificent, and I see it every day when I enter the palace. When the palace on the queen and the prince are repaired, the paint on the pillars has fallen off, and you don't let you repair it. There is not even a few decent decorations in the palace."

"There is also the Supreme Emperor. He is now honored and raised, but the Yong'an Palace... I'm not saying that I can't sleep even after seeing it. The old man has been suffering for a lifetime, and now it's time to enjoy his happiness."

"It's okay in winter, but when summer comes, the Forbidden City is unbearable. Poor, you don't even have a garden to escape the heat. I feel sorry for you when you see it!"
