Chapter 75 The old man is thick-skinned
Although it looks very worthless to exchange 30 million taels of silver for a ship of grenades, it is better than being hit by all. What's more, grenades are the latest firearms, which cannot be bought with silver.
This is an unexpected joy.
"Thank you General Chen!" Chen Yonghua hurriedly bowed and thanked.
"Boy, don't thank me, thank the emperor. It's a coincidence that the emperor's decree just now, saying that if you go to fight Taiwan, let our army release it. Not only will it be released, but you will also send you a ship of grenades. The emperor also said that Zheng Chenggong will fight the Dutch devils well and let Taiwan return to the national territory. The day of national unification in the future is when Zheng Chenggong makes great contributions to the country and nation. If he wants to split Taiwan from the territory of China, he will personally lead his troops to attack the rebellion. Boy, you should bring all the grenades and the emperor's words to your master, so that he can do it himself."
After hearing this, Chen Yonghua vomited blood: "It's true that you can let go without taking the money! Why didn't you say it earlier? You just got the money together and said this. Isn't this annoying?!"
"General Chen, since Master Yongli has the order, please return the money!" Chen Yonghua wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grabbed Chen Zhongwu's hand, and said hurriedly.
"Boy, why are you so low in your thinking? Didn't I tell you that I don't want this money, nor does Lord Shi want it, all for the great cause of anti-Qing. From this point of view, your master has done some good things for the people and the country. Do you still have the righteousness in your heart? Do you only have silver in your eyes? You are covered in the smell of money, and you are a scholar!" Chen Zhongwu scolded Chen Yonghua with a righteous look on his face.
"I'm covered in copper stinking? Don't you turn the blame, okay?" Chen Yonghua was so angry that he spat another mouthful of blood from Chen Zhongwu, and almost fainted on the ground.
"With this ability and this kind of aura, you are still known as the lie-down dragon in the world? Don't slander you for Zhuge Liang! Save the guests!" After Chen Zhongwu said this, he asked his personal soldiers to drive Chen Yonghua out and lead the fleet to retreat without saying anything.
Chen Yonghua was completely dizzy this time!
Who is this?!
...
Zhu Youlang was very happy after receiving Shi Lang's note.
No matter what Shi Lang's purpose is, it is a good thing that Zheng Chenggong has dug so much money. He didn't expect that he loved money and his second brother-in-law was also such a character. Is this the legendary "Isn't it that a family doesn't enter the family?"
I made a large amount of silver in Zheng Zhilong’s hometown in the previous episode, and this time I dug out some from Zheng Chenggong. Within three years, I would not have to make trouble for the money.
This is simply using the Zheng family’s money to support so many troops and support the vast sky of our small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty!
The Zheng family and his son don’t know how much money they have made over the years? It seems that maritime trade is really quick to make money.
"Leave enough money for the navy for three years, and the rest will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. Ling Bin, are you so happy that you can't sleep this time?" Zhu Youlang called Chen Bangyan and asked happily after saying that Shi Lang had intercepted the money from Zheng Chenggong.
"Hehehe... Your Majesty, I have never been worried about the money since I was appointed as the Minister of Revenue. Perhaps, I am the easiest Minister of Revenue in history." Chen Bangyan really smiled so hard that his mouth was grinning.
"The family has food, and I am not panicked. For the country, the new policy reform I have made is to increase annual income. As long as the country has money, it can do many good things and many major things for the people. Because the time is still short and the effect is not so obvious, in a few years, you will definitely fill the treasury with a stable growth income. Before this, it was a pain period of innovation. I originally thought about living a few years of hard life, but I didn't expect that the seized from the Qing soldiers, from the Zheng father and son, Ding Kuichu, Sun Guonan, Guangning three rich people, was so huge. It seems that I can pass this pain period without pain." Zhu Youlang said happily.
"Your Majesty, don't you keep some in the inner treasury?" Chen Bangyan asked in a low voice.
"Ling Bin, what's wrong with you? I'm such a silver lover? The silver in the treasury is enough for me, so I don't have to go into the treasury anymore. Besides, it's just some silver, and there are no treasures. If there are some antiques, I'm interested, so I'll just forget it."
"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty is wise."
"Okay, I didn't intercept the money and lost my reputation as 'Saint Ming'. Ling Bin, you really have it. However, don't spend it randomly. The treasury should have a certain balance. I will be useful in the future."
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Look at your nervous look! Don't worry, I neither build a palace nor do I need military force. They are all used for people's livelihood and economy, and they are all serious."
"Your Majesty's wise!"
"Ling Bin, I have used a minister of the Ministry of Revenue like you who is locked in. I really don't know whether it is right or wrong!"
"Hehehe..."
...
As soon as Qian Qianyi arrived in Guangzhou, he immediately became an idol that literati and scholars rushed to pursue. Those who explored knowledge and asked him to comment with articles were naturally indispensable to the savvy people who handed out posts to his disciples.
Qu Shisi, Guizhuang had a deep conversation with him. Qian Qianyi expressed his intention to become an official without any concealment, saying, "The silkworm will not be able to die until the silk is dead, and the candle will not be able to dry out the tears." He should do his best to the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty in the twilight years.
His meaning was soon heard from the sky. Zhu Youlang knew that Qian Qianyi was a famous "official fan" in history. If you don't give him an official job, he might have any trouble. Besides, he had already made plans to give him a job that was both glorious and had no practical things, so he followed the flow and summoned this world-renowned "literary master" in the Qinzheng Hall.
"Long live the old minister's greeting!" Qian Qianyi was summoned by Xuan and after entering the palace, he gave a great ceremony to the emperor and his ministers.
"Flat! Give a seat!"
Zhu Youlang waited for him to finish his tribute and ordered him to calm down.
"I thanked Your Majesty."
Qian Qianyi stood up, bowed up, then shook it three times, and sat on the brocade stool brought by Li Hong with a very calm look.
Zhu Youlang was displeased when he saw his old minister's behavior: "You have been the Minister of Rites and Minister of Rites of our Zhu family, but you have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and become the Minister of Rites of the Qing Dynasty. Why do you have the face to regard yourself as an old minister?! You are so old and thick-skinned."
"I feel very puzzled when I accept it." Zhu Youlang deliberately called him his name instead of calling him "Love Queen". He thought to see how much psychological endurance this old boy had.
"Your Majesty, please ask me if you ask. The old minister will definitely speak out and say everything." Qian Qianyi seemed not to understand what Zhu Youlang said. He owed his body and did not get stuck at all when he answered.
