"I won't hide it from you. Dawu will probably have to fight a tough battle next. Winning and unifying the country is no longer a dream. Everything lost to Dawu will be dissipated in the long river of history."
"Therefore, the money I need is definitely more than you think."
"Let me tell you this, what I have gotten so far is less than one-tenth of my goal!"
Wu Yuan's words were astonishing and shocked all the ministers.
You know, after the Zhao family's property is sold off, the harvest from this house raid may be nearly 20 million taels of gold.
In addition to the silver money stolen from the Li family, the total amount is probably more than 30 million taels of gold.
Is this just one-tenth of Wu Yuan’s goal?
So what Wu Yuan really wants, isn't it an astronomical figure?
I'm afraid no one in the entire Dawu has ever been so wealthy, including the royal family.
Wu Yuan has now set a historical record of national treasury surplus.
However, if you think about it carefully, if what Wu Yuan said is true, it will be both a challenge and an opportunity for Daburi.
Maybe Da Wu can really become an immortal dynasty under the leadership of Wu Yuan.
It's just that Wu Yuan's method of making money is really frightening.
Everyone can see that Wu Yuan's starting point is good, he wants to punish evil and promote good, but he only targets some guilty people.
But this kind of approach that completely disregards the overall situation cannot continue.
Otherwise, unifying the country would be simply a pipe dream. Without the invasion of foreign enemies, Dawu would have destroyed itself.
After Liu Baichuan was stunned for a short time, he said to Wu Yuan: "Your Majesty, it is good for you to raise money, but you cannot find reasons or excuses to ransack the house."
Wu Yuan's face suddenly darkened, "Mr. Liu, do you think that I copied the Zhao family intentionally to cause trouble, and it was just a random excuse?"
Liu Baichuan's eyes suddenly dodge, not daring to look at Wu Yuan.
He never dared to say that Wu Yuan was deliberately looking for trouble, so he could only mutter in a low voice, "Justice is in the heart!"
"Fuck your uncle, your justice is in the heart of the people. Don't be so arrogant with me here. If you say that the Zhao family's sins are not this serious, I will step down from the throne immediately."
Liu Baichuan was shocked. If Wu Yuan really resigned from the throne, then Liu Baichuan would probably be close to death.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I made a mistake."
Wu Yuan really wanted to slap Liu Baichuan twice, but he was too lazy to be familiar with him.
At least Liu Baichuan could be regarded as adding fuel to the flames, giving him a chance to say what he said next.
"Calm down your anger? Why should I calm down? I always have something to say. You must also know this." Wu Yuan said with a cold face.
"So, I also tell you that I plan to keep ransacking homes, but please rest assured that my next target will not be these tycoon families who bully the market."
When he said this, Wu Yuan suddenly became silent.
But what are the ministers waiting for? Who else could it be if they weren’t from a wealthy and wealthy family?
At this time, Liu Baichuan suddenly reacted, "Your Majesty, are you trying to raid the homes of ministers in the DPRK?"
Liu Baichuan was able to discover Wu Yuan's intention, not because he was very smart, but because Wu Yuan was staring at him at the moment, and his eyes were like a hungry wolf staring at his prey.
That's why Liu Baichuan suddenly thought of this.
Wu Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't say it in such a bad way. I never attack innocent people, but it's time for the court to be rectified, so I plan to get rid of some corrupt officials."
I have to say that Wu Yuan was very frank and told these ministers clearly that I was going to make money from some of you.
Some officials who usually lived extravagantly were suddenly panicked.
Liu Baichuan, an old minister who should have stayed away from the court, did not fare much better.
It's not because he is corrupt, it's just that when Wu Yuan stares at him like this, it's obvious that he is someone within the scope of strict investigation.
Although he thinks he is not a corrupt official, he is not truly honest and cannot withstand investigation.
In this regard, Liu Baichuan believed that other ministers were in a similar situation to him.
However, regarding this matter, they did not dare to dissuade them even if they wanted to. If anyone tried to stop it now, they would probably be investigated for the first time.
No one wants to be the one who stands out.
Prime Minister Wen was also looking at Wu Yuan. He also wanted to know Wu Yuan's purpose of going to war.
It is right to investigate corrupt officials, but I have never heard that all civil and military officials in the dynasty should be investigated. This may cause turmoil in the court.
If he didn't understand Wu Yuan's character and would never change things he had decided so easily, he would have tried his best to dissuade him no matter what.
However, the next second Prime Minister Wen noticed Wu Yuan's eyes looking at him.
This made Prime Minister Wen stunned and didn't understand what Wu Yuan meant by looking at him.
Even Prime Minister Wen could faintly sense the urging in Wu Yuan's eyes. Prime Minister Wen couldn't help but thought in surprise, "Your Majesty, does he want me to stop him?"
"It shouldn't be. This doesn't seem to be His Majesty's character." Prime Minister Wen wondered if he had seen it wrong.
Opposite Wu Yuan, seeing that Prime Minister Wen was still unable to understand what he meant, he was so angry that his teeth hurt. There was no tacit understanding at all? It seems that he will have to consider changing his partner in the future.
Seeing the confusion on Prime Minister Wen's face, Wu Yuan had no choice but to say: "Prime Minister Wen, who do you think I should check first?"
"Who...started the investigation?" Prime Minister Wen said with a bitter look on his face.
Even he couldn't say much about this kind of thing. Wouldn't this offend people to death?
"Yes, who do you want to start the investigation from, or should we start from the head of your Prime Minister Wen?"
Seeing that Prime Minister Wen was still unable to understand what he meant, Wu Yuan became frustrated and issued an ultimatum.
Prime Minister Wen was shocked. He really felt that Wu Yuan was angry, and he was very angry.
Finally, at the last moment, Prime Minister Wen said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I feel that this move is inappropriate."
When Wu Yuan replied "Why?", Prime Minister Wen breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt certain in his heart that Wu Yuan had no intention of thoroughly investigating the civil and military officials. This was a trick to trick the ministers by asking him to cooperate well.
Prime Minister Wen was also tired and cursed: "Can't you tell me in advance? Just thinking about Wu Yuan's sharp eyes just now makes Prime Minister Wen a little scared."
God knows, if he couldn't understand Wu Yuan's meaning in the end, whether he could continue to be a prime minister.
Now, after understanding Wu Yuan's intention, Prime Minister Wen did not dare to delay any longer and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Da Wu is currently experiencing internal and external troubles. The people are all panic-stricken, let alone the ministers above the court.
.
"I ask your Majesty to think again!" Prime Minister Wen simply knelt down.
