The first thousand two hundred and fifty-four chapters are not ashamed
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Wudi Qianzhuang is just a merchant bank. The imperial court borrows money from merchants. If this matter is spread, what will happen, especially if it is known to foreign countries, countless people will know that our Tang Dynasty treasury is empty.
, Now, it is the critical period of the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Goguryeo is eyeing it in the northeast, and news of the empty treasury of the Tang Dynasty has spread. I am afraid that changes will occur on the border! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Wang Gui also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Changsun is right. I think at the beginning, Your Majesty appointed Du He as the chief officer of disaster relief because he saw Du He's ability to turn the tide. If even a mere million dollars can't do it,
Solve it, then what’s the point of this chief officer..."
Chen Shuda nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the interest rates received by Wudi Bank are frighteningly high. No matter how much money the treasury has, I'm afraid it will not be able to satisfy Wudi Bank's appetite by then!"
Ministers, you speak to me.
A censor couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Wudi Bank is a liar and a cancer of our Tang Dynasty. It doesn't want to work, but thinks about lending money and making money all day long. It is really unreasonable. Please decree that Wudi Bank be banned.
.”
This man actually wanted to beat Wudi Qianzhuang to death with a stick.
After hearing this, Li Er looked unhappy.
Because, he is also the major shareholder of Wudi Bank.
He waved his hand and said, "Your words are too unpleasant. Also, today is a discussion in court about how to raise funds for disaster relief, but not about Invincible Bank. The preface and the follow-up are inconsistent. It's unreasonable. You should go back and reflect for a month."
"ah……"
The censor was immediately dumbfounded.
Li Er saw that most of the ministers in the DPRK were opposed to the treasury allocating money to Du He, and said: "My dear friends, although the treasury is in trouble, disaster relief must not be delayed. What can you do?"
Wang Gui: "No!"
Changsun Wuji: "I am stupid!"
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything!"
"I am terrified!"
"Money matters are the hardest thing to solve!"
…
Ministers one after another, who usually boasted that they could go to heaven and earth and were omnipotent, now shook their heads like rattles, expressing that they were helpless.
Dai Zhou, who had a close relationship with Du He before, also remained silent.
This old guy is taking revenge on Du He for forcibly requisitioning the raw materials he planned to use to rebuild the mansion.
Li Er looked at Du He with some humor, "Ahem, He'er, your popularity is a bit low!"
Du He turned around and memorized the names of the ministers who had just clearly opposed him one by one.
Then he said: "Father... you have served the country and the people, and I admire you. However, they are all wrong."
wrong?
Wang Gui, as if someone was stepping on his tail, jumped up and asked: "Du He, please tell me clearly, where did we go wrong?"
Du Heping said calmly: "Master Wang, you are all wrong. In fact, the Tang Dynasty is rich, and the treasury is not empty."
rich?
Swish swish swish.
A series of eyes immediately stared at Dai Zhou.
Dai Zhou thought to himself: This must be Du He's revenge. He took revenge on me for not speaking to him just now.
He glared at Du He and said loudly: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, right now, there are only more than 300,000 yuan left in the national treasury. There is not even a penny left in the treasury. No one in the Ministry of Civil Affairs dares to embezzle even a penny. If you don't believe it,
, you can send someone to check immediately, if I tell a lie, I will die..."
In order to prove his innocence, Dai Zhou even resorted to swearing and swearing.
Naturally, everyone believed in Dai Zhou.
But where is the money?
Changsun Wuji stared at Du He: "Du He, are you playing tricks on me? Could it be that you know the situation of the treasury better than Mr. Dai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, or maybe you sneaked into the treasury in the middle of the night and saw that there was still extra money?
?”
As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dai Zhou has been angry because of the lack of money recently. He hurriedly asked: "Boy Du, tell me quickly, where is the money?"
Du He turned his back on everyone and said, "I won't tell you!"
"snort……"
"That's unreasonable!"
"Mostly nonsense!"
"Yeah, where can I get the money now?"
Many people believe that Du He is just talking nonsense and his purpose is to make everyone angry.
Du He bowed and said, "Father, if I can find some money, can it be used for disaster relief in Chang'an City?"
Li Er muttered: "He'er, don't joke around..."
"Father, I am not joking!"
"this……"
Li Er was a little hesitant.
But I heard Changsun Wuji say: "Your Majesty, I think that if Du He can really find the money, the court will allow him to use it for disaster relief. Of course, the premise is that the money cannot be less than 500,000 yuan. However,
What if he can't find the money? Why not, the imperial court will not allocate a penny to Chang'an City for disaster relief in the future."
"Okay..." Wang Gui was the first to respond, "What Mr. Changsun said is great. Du He, do you dare to agree?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Du He.
Du He didn't speak, his face was a little flustered, his hands were shaking slightly...
All this shows that Du He is panicking.
Then he explained that Du He was bragging when he said he could find money.
Many people looked at everything in front of them like they were watching a show.
Du He looked at Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji, and said in a trembling voice: "We are born from the same roots, why are we so anxious to fight each other? Sir, we are officials in the same dynasty, why is it like this? In this way, wouldn't everyone be like this?"
so awkward!"
Wang Gui sneered and said: "You and we are not officials in the same dynasty. You are just a small Jingzhao Prefecture chief who joined the army, and you are not qualified to go to the dynasty."
Changsun Wuji also said: "It doesn't matter if it's embarrassing. I, Changsun Wuji, am never afraid of embarrassment! Du He, do you dare to agree?"
Du He lowered his head.
Various sarcastic voices came to my ears.
"Oh, young people just can't keep calm!"
"Yeah, where can I find half a million dollars?"
"This tells me something, think twice before speaking, and don't talk nonsense!"
Half a moment.
Swish.
Du He suddenly raised his head and said, "Okay, I agree. Maybe you can decide that if I find the money, I will allocate the money to Chang'an for disaster relief?"
Wang Gui turned to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, please agree."
Li Er rolled his eyes, looked unmoved, and nodded: "In that case, I agree."
For a moment, all the eyes of the civil and military ministers fell on Du He.
Du He should be so embarrassed by his response, right?
Should we dig a hole for him in advance and let him crawl into it?
What will he do?
Is it possible to take out a penny and say it is the money you found?
Everyone has different ideas.
I saw Du He slowly taking out a booklet from his sleeve.
Wang Gui couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Du He, don't tell me, this is money!"
Du He nodded seriously, looked up at Li Er, and said: "Father, these are the commercial taxes collected by the counties in Jingzhao Prefecture in the past six months, totaling 1,805,327 yuan. Now,
Now, all this money is stored in Jingzhao Mansion, and it was planned to be handed over together with the taxes of the states at the end of the year. However, the court is now short of money, and it is short of money for disaster relief. I asked my father for permission to allocate this money to Chang'an City.
