Chapter 564 Stretch Your Hand into Someone's Pocket for Money
Chapter 564 Putting your hand into someone’s pocket to get money
Looking at the group of civil and military ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Chen's eyes were filled with the joy of an old farmer who had worked hard to grow leeks and was about to harvest them.
He said in a persuasive manner: "A special person from Dongchang will be responsible for the registration. There will never be any mistakes in the registration. I will check it every day and there will be no mistakes."
"I am busy with affairs on weekdays and have little impact on many courtiers. Aren't some courtiers complaining that their talents are not seen by their superiors? This is the best opportunity for me to increase my impression. Don't miss it."
These words were almost like taking money from someone else's pocket, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone is a scholar, and they all read books by saints and sages. Everyone has to pretend to be a gentleman. Even the most corrupt officials still pay attention to methods and speaking skills when asking for bribes.
But when it came to the prince, it was simple and crude.
Everyone can't accept it.
Or Xu Changqing.
He was the first to break the silence, and said in a joyful tone: "Your Highness is getting married, and the position of Crown Princess is about to be completed. This is a huge happy event. If I dare, I will definitely give you a generous gift, and ask for a wedding drink when the time comes.
Please give your permission, Your Highness."
Listen, listen.
Some officials on the cabinet side looked at Xu Changqing with the whites of their eyes, feeling extremely disdainful of Xu Changqing's dishonest words and deeds.
They felt that Xu Changqing was simply a scum among the officials and would say any shameless thing in order to please the prince.
Li Chen laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Xu, you are so polite. I will definitely have a glass of the wedding wine with you when the time comes."
What are confidants used for?
Of course, when there is a pot, you take the blame. When you need a step, you rush over to provide the step. When you need to set the pace, even if you are despised to death, you must be the first to rush up and set the pace.
The current rhythm led by Xu Changqing makes Li Chen very satisfied.
No matter what, with Xu Changqing taking the lead, the other ministers, no matter how different their thoughts were, all said congratulations on their faces and said they would definitely come.
At first, he only raided the homes of three large merchants in the capital and brought out tens of millions of taels of silver. Li Chen had great expectations for this attack on the money bags of these princes and ministers.
Now it's just a matter of saying hello in advance, and Dongchang's methods will follow later.
He is not afraid at all of not being able to raise money.
The people standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in front of me are not only the most powerful people in the empire, but also the richest people.
Li Chen felt like a bright mirror in his heart.
Seeing that the head was already raised, Li Chen immediately gave Dantai Jingzhi a look.
Now, it's time for the old gentleman to perform.
After receiving Li Chen's hint, Tantai Jingzhi did not hesitate, took a step forward and raised his hand: "My lord, I have something to report."
Tantai Jingzhi had something to say, and everyone's hearts were aroused. They wanted to hear clearly what the first thing this great sage would do when he entered the court.
"Sir, please speak." Li Chen raised his hand to help him weakly and said.
Dantai Jingzhi paused, sighed softly in his heart, and then said: "Today, the national treasury is empty, the court is in difficulty, and many people have suffered disasters. When ministering to the people, it is not that local officials do not want to do anything, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The court
They are unable to provide disaster relief, and when it comes to local governments, they have no money or food to provide relief to the victims."
