"Zhou Aiqing, do you have a good solution... As long as your method can help the court solve the problem of money, I will definitely reward you with a heavy reward and give you an additional title..." Someone in the deadly court actually stood up, which made Emperor Chongzhen, who was almost completely shrouded in anger and despair, couldn't help but be overjoyed. Then, it was as if he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw in despair and asked quickly.

Compared with Chongzhen's full of expectations, most ministers around Zhou Shuyuan showed a relaxed and sarcastic smile on their faces.

The reason why it was relaxed was because Zhou Shuyuan took the initiative to stand up and endured the anger of Emperor Chongzhen.

Even if Zhou Shuyuan still failed to solve this problem in the end, Chongzhen's target of venting would be Zhou Shuyuan. And they could watch a drama that was temporarily unrelated to them.

As for ridicule, the reason is even simpler...

Zhou Shuyuan's failure to siege the Tiger and Leopard Army directly ruined his reputation. In addition, his identity as a surrendered minister, almost no minister in the court had ever looked at him in front of him.

In this case, some people believe that Zhou Shuyuan, a surrendered minister, has a way to solve this problem.

Since the problem cannot be solved, what is waiting for Zhou Shuyuan must be Emperor Chongzhen's overwhelming anger.

However, just when they were looking for a big show in the court with various complex expressions.

Zhou Shuyuan's answer was so shocking that it was beyond their expectations...

"Your Majesty, I do have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible..."

"If it is feasible, I can be sure that this idea will not only solve the financial crisis of the court, but will also tie all the landlords and gentry in several provinces in Jiangnan to the chariot of the court, so that they can survive and die together with the court."

"In this way, there will be two forces in several provinces in Jiangnan controlled by the imperial court to resist the invasion of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

"One is a new imperial army with strong combat power, blocking the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army on the front battlefield..."

"One is the guards of the homes of all landlords and gentry in Jiangnan who harassed them behind the attacking troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and like the imperial court, they fell into a dangerous situation of being attacked by enemies from both sides and forced the Tiger and Leopard Army to retreat."

Zhou Shuyuan's answer. For Emperor Chongzhen in despair, it can definitely be said to be full of temptation.

Not only Emperor Chongzhen, but many ministers who had heard Zhou Shuyuan's answer had their faces full of sarcastic facial expressions, and were now covered by expectations.

The pair of eyes pressed against Zhou Shuyuan tightly, waiting for Zhou Shuyuan's following.

Of course, there were some ministers who still had a sarcastic smile on their faces.

Not only that, they also had a comment on Zhou Shuyuan at this moment in their hearts, which was to be arrogant.

Of course, with Emperor Chongzhen full of anticipation, they did not dare to say this for the time being.

And just as the expressions on the faces of dozens of ministers in the court continued to change.

Emperor Chongzhen, who looked expectant, had already started asking: "Zhou Aiqing. Tell me your thoughts immediately... As long as your thoughts really meet your expectations, I will directly give you a title of Aiqing as a cabinet minister..."

This is what Zhou Shuyuan wants.

As soon as Chongzhen's tempting Xu Nuo said, Zhou Shuyuan said, "Your Majesty, my idea is very simple. In the name of the court, I borrowed silver from all the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan... If I don't want to borrow, the court will send troops to force it to execute..."

"Of course, since these silvers are borrowed, they must be returned. When borrowing the silver, the court can sign an agreement with them... As long as the court wins the battle with the silver borrowed from them, the court can return it with principal and interest..."

"In this way, the court can raise thousands, or even tens of millions of taels of silver in a very short time..."

These ministers standing in the court are certain that everyone can be called landlords and gentry.

The idea proposed by Zhou Shuyuan happened to infringe on their interest.

The minister who had just taken care of Emperor Chongzhen's mood and was holding back his words, at this moment, finally couldn't help it...

As soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, a minister stood up and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister begged Your Majesty to cut off Lord Zhou's head immediately... Lord Zhou is not solving the problem at all, but wants to force the court to a dead end and push all the landlords and gentry who support and support the court to the opposing side of the court.

As soon as the minister finished speaking, more than a dozen ministers stood up and refuted Zhou Shuyuan's proposal one after another.

Someone else was clamoring in the court that Zhou Shuyuan was a spy sent by the Tiger and Leopard Army and wanted to dismantle the court from within.

If it were an opposition by one or two ministers, Emperor Chongzhen, who had completely grasped the power of the court, would not care at all.

However, when more than a dozen or even dozens of ministers held the same remarks, Chongzhen had to doubt Zhou Shuyuan's intentions.

So, before Zhou Shuyuan could continue talking, Chongzhen's gaze at Zhou Shuyuan had already changed from expectation to murderous intent without realizing it...

Zhou Shuyuan certainly felt the changes of Emperor Chongzhen, but with dozens of ministers refuting together, he didn't even have the chance to speak.

Therefore, Zhou Shuyuan, who was anxious, could only sweat heavily under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, but there was no solution.

Just when Zhou Shuyuan was about to despair, what no one expected was that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet who had been silent had spoken, and he was still helping Zhou Shuyuan speak...

"Shut up... This is a court meeting, not a vegetable market... Whether Lord Zhou is guilty or not, whether he is determined to test it out is not yours, but His Majesty has the final say..."

After a roar full of anger came out of his mouth, the chief minister immediately turned his gaze to Chongzhen. Then, he said in his tone as calm as possible: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lord Zhou's idea is very feasible... We can completely listen to Lord Zhou's words before making a decision..."

The cabinet chief’s loyalty to the court and himself can definitely be described by the four words "The sun and the moon" that can be seen.

Therefore, the words of the chief minister of the cabinet made Emperor Chongzhen once again full of hope for Zhou Shuyuan.

Zhou Shuyuan, who was sweating profusely, did not miss this opportunity. At the warning of the prime minister, he quickly explained...

"Your Majesty, I will definitely explain the worries of all the ministers just now. However, I am sure that the court will not only not anger these landlords and gentry, but will also make them support the court more. As for the specific reason, I have summarized four words, that is, the binding of interests..."

"Through huge profits, they were tied to the chariot of the court and survived and died with the court..."

"As for the concerns that the ministers just raised, my explanation is very simple: if they don't lend the imperial court, the imperial court will have no way to fight, and the Tiger and Leopard Army can drive the imperial court out of Jiangnan all the way... By then, the court will be gone, and their power will disappear. More importantly, in the face of the Tiger and Leopard Army's land policy, they may end up with a family destruction..."

"If you support the court and lend information to the court, then their results will be very different..."

"If the court wins, their power will continue. Not only that, provinces that the court may recover from the Tiger and Leopard Army may become their reward for supporting the court..."
