Prince of Chaos

Chapter 60 My Money!
Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Wanli's face turned green with anger.

For such a big event as refugees entering Beijing, no one notified them in advance.Now that everyone has arrived at Qianmen Building, they only think of what to do?
What's even more exasperating is that the cabinet actually said that the Ministry of Accounts and Shuntian Mansion have no money!

What does it mean?
Isn't this because of the money I just saved up so hard?
Emperor Wanli was angry, but finally he held back his anger and said, "How many refugees are there?"

The elders of the three cabinets fell silent after hearing the words, and didn't know how to answer Emperor Wanli.

Xu Guo and Wang Jiaping both watched their noses and stood on the sidelines, as if Emperor Wanli didn't ask them.

In the end, Shen Shixing could only bite the bullet and say, "About [-]."

Emperor Wanli couldn't believe his ears.

"Thirty thousand?!"

Then Emperor Wanli said angrily, "Do you know how much it will cost [-] refugees?"

Sweat dripped from Shen Shixing's forehead, and he said, "About tens of thousands of taels."

Emperor Wanli said: "How many taels? Is tens of thousands taels enough? One catty of grain a day for one person. Thirty thousand catties of grain a day for 3 people. Now it's deep winter. They need to live and keep warm besides eating. Is tens of thousands of taels enough?"

Emperor Wanli really did not expect to encounter such a nasty problem early in the morning. After complaining and getting angry, Emperor Wanli finally had to withdraw 5 taels of silver from his internal funds and give it to the cabinet.After all, the refugees are also his people.You can't do nothing, can you?

If you really want to die, how is it different from the tyrants and stupid kings in history?Emperor Wanli still doesn't want to be an emperor who is reviled by history books, so he can only use his own money to help the refugees.

Emperor Wanli finally said: "Let the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Shuntian Mansion write down the accounts, and when they have money, they will return it to me."

Shen Shixing waited for the elders of Sange to praise the emperor's benevolence repeatedly, and then took the emperor Wanli's letter to the treasury in the palace to transfer the silver.

As for paying back the money, it's impossible.How could the court return the emperor's money?Isn't the emperor's money the court's money?
Zhu Changluo, who was in the supervisor of ceremonies, did not expect the refugees to come so timely. He actually knew that there was a group of refugees from Henan begging all the way to Beizhili, and he had been waiting for this group of refugees to arrive.

I thought they would be late, but I didn't expect them to come in such a timely manner, which directly delayed the appointment of the prince by the officials.

"God help me too!"

After sighing, Zhu Changluo immediately went to Qianqing Palace.

In Qianqing Palace, Emperor Wanli was sulking, feeling sorry for his 5 taels of silver.

When he saw Zhu Changluo approaching, his expression improved a little.Zhu Changluo bowed to Emperor Wanli: "My son, please see my father."

Emperor Wanli said: "Get up, it's so cold on the ground, don't kneel again and again when you come here."

Zhu Changluo obediently came to Emperor Wanli, and then said to Emperor Wanli with a cute face: "Father, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

Emperor Wanli said: "It's okay, it's just that something happened. Thirty thousand refugees have arrived in the capital, and the emperor is worried that they have no food, no drink, and no place to live."

Zhu Changluo gave an "innocent" oh, and then said: "Father, you can let these refugees go to my son's Huangzhuang. My son's Huangzhuang is very big, and there is a lot of food."

Emperor Wanli said with a smile: "How much food can your little Huangzhuang have, these [-] refugees can eat up your Huangzhuang in one day."

Zhu Changluo said: "No way. I heard Wang An told me yesterday that Huangzhuang now has 30 shi of grain in storage, and he said it can be eaten for many years."

When Emperor Wanli heard that Zhu Changluo said that his Huangzhuang actually had 30 shi of grain, his eyes lit up immediately.

Emperor Wanli said excitedly: "How do you have so much food?"

Zhu Changluo said cutely: "It's for coal!"

"Sell coal?"

Emperor Wanli seemed to have a little impression of this, but he just couldn't remember it.

Zhu Changluo said: "Yes, some time ago Wang An said that the weather was cold and the coal could be sold. So I bought all the coal mines in Xishan. I also asked Zhang Gonggong to collect the mine tax."

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he remembered that Zhang Cheng told him that Zhu Changluo would take the initiative to pay the mining tax.At that time, he asked Zhang Cheng to collect it.

Emperor Wanli looked at the cute and innocent Zhu Changluo and asked, "Son, how much did you sell for the coal from your coal mine?"

Zhu Changluo smiled from the bottom of his heart, it was true that he was a money fan by nature.Zhu Changluo also pretended to be innocent and said: "Wang An said that he sold it for 10 taels of silver. Is the father's 10 taels of silver much?"

Emperor Wanli gasped. He really didn't expect Zhu Changluo to be worth several 10 taels.

Emperor Wanli endured his excitement and continued to "set" Zhu Changluo's words, "How did Wang An and the others sell several 10 taels of silver?"

Zhu Changluo tilted his head and pretended to think: "Wang An and the others seem to have come up with an idea of ​​honeycomb coal, and then made all the coal that was mined out into honeycomb coal, and then sold them all."

Emperor Wanli laughed excitedly, "He is really my good son!" Then he hugged Zhu Changluo tightly and was close to kissing him.

Emperor Wanli never expected that things would turn around. He just spent 5 taels of silver and was still distressed whether the money was enough.In a blink of an eye, Zhu Changluo gave away tens of 10 taels of silver.

Emperor Wanli pretended to be Zhu Changluo's consideration and said: "Son, it's not safe to put this money in Xishan Huangzhuang. Why don't I pull them into the warehouse in Da Nei to help you store them?"

Zhu Changluo nodded cutely and said, "Okay!"

Emperor Wanli hugged Zhu Changluo excitedly again, "He is really my good son."

After Zhu Changluo had a hard time chatting with Emperor Wanli, he left in a sensible way.After walking out of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Changluo's body couldn't help shaking, "Pretend to be cute, what a fucking disgusting person!"

As for Emperor Wanli, he immediately arranged for people to go to Zhu Changluo's Xishan Huangzhuang to pull money.

And before that, Zhu Changluo had already explained to Wang An, asking him to separate the money from the coal mine and the money from selling soda at the Xishan Commercial Bank, and keep separate accounts to prevent the two parties from colluding.Moreover, Wang An was also asked to put all the money for buying grain into the income of the coal mine.

When Emperor Wanli sent someone to withdraw the money, in fact, there were only 6 taels of silver left on the entire account.

From several 10 taels to 6 taels, Emperor Wanli felt that there was a huge gap in his heart.

But Emperor Wanli didn't think that Zhu Changluo would lie to him, so Emperor Wanli asked Wang An to be found.

Emperor Wanli looked at this plain-looking and honest eunuch, and Emperor Wanli asked, "Are you Wang An?"

Wang An whispered nervously: "Go back to the emperor, the slave is Wang An."

Emperor Wanli snorted and asked directly, "Where is my son's money?"

Wang An's body trembled in fright, and he quickly said, "It's all here."

Emperor Wanli said angrily: "Nonsense! Chang Luo has already told me that there are several 10 taels of silver, and now there are only 6 taels left. What about the remaining money?"

Wang An quickly said: "It took 15 taels to buy grain, and Zhang Gonggong collected 20 taels in taxes. Now there is only so much left."

When Emperor Wanli heard that Zhang Cheng had collected 20 taels of tax, Emperor Wanli felt a little embarrassed. Isn't the tax money all his?
Now Emperor Wanli still has a little expectation that Zhang Cheng will also escort the silver to the Da Nei warehouse soon.

Then Emperor Wanli said to Wang An with a pleasant face: "Wang An, you have done a good job, do a good job. In the future, I will definitely use you again."

Emperor Wanli encouraged Wang An a few more words, and then prepared to let Wang An retire.

But at this time Wang An did not retreat, Wang An said: "My lord, I have a way to help these refugees."
