Chapter 205 Borrowing money
Ten days later, he brought military pay to the soldiers of the Zuoye Army. This was what Zhu Ciyang said in person, but how could he get money?
The national treasury has already bottomed out, and the family is so poor that it sounds like a big mouth. Zhu Cilang will take the military pay ten days later. The soldiers of Zuoye Army don’t care about these things. When your prince’s words are spoken, we are all serious.
On the tenth day, Zhu Cixuan was indeed facing tremendous pressure. But since he agreed, he must do it.
After the cheers of the Zuoye soldiers stopped, Zhu Cixuan shouted loudly: "Sirs, don't misunderstand me, let's listen to this palace."
Don’t misunderstand? Everyone couldn’t help but become suspicious. It’s true that you have no hair on your face and can’t do things in a scrupulous manner. You young prince won’t suddenly turn against you. Please swallow what you said.
After everyone was excited, they suddenly felt unsure when they heard Zhu Cilang say this.
Zhu Cilang then said, "What I mean is that the court owes you more than a year's salary. It is a big deal to ask the palace to make up for you in ten days. Not only is this impossible for me to do it, but the court is now in trouble and powerless."
Doesn’t it mean you didn’t say it? Damn, you’re such a bullshit prince. Many soldiers from Zuoye Army have become angry. There are restlessness in the crowd again. Some people even think that if you, a young prince, speaks like a fart, even if you are willing to do something today, you can’t let you leave Zuoye Army so easily.
"I don't know what Your Highness means. Do you mean that the court plans not to pay us military salary again?" Finally, a soldier from Zuoye Army couldn't help it, and he called out coldly.
Zhu Cilang seemed not angry, but shook his head: "I hereby guarantee that the court will pay a lot of money for your military pay. What I mean is that ten days later, I will bring you three months of military pay for your Zuoye Army! This is the greatest effort of my palace. I will pay the remaining military pay for three months first, and the court will slowly reissue the remaining military pay. As long as I am in one day, the military pay for the three camps of the capital will not be reduced by a penny!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers of the Zuoye Army looked at each other. If Zhu Cilang's words had made many people feel doubtful before, then now, 80% of them believe that the prince's words are true.
Three months, let alone three months of payment, even if one month's military pay is paid, it will be a great joy for the soldiers of the Zuoye Army.
At that moment, Zuoye Army cheered again. This time, they sincerely supported the crown prince. As for whom, the head-cut admiral King He Fu, who still remembers him?
Zhu Cilang promised that he would bring military pay in ten days. Not only the Zuoye Army, the Youye Army, the Central Army, the Left Shou, and the Right Shou Army, three months of military pay will be paid in ten days. In other words, if he was transferred from the capital to the Five Military Camps in Wuqing County, Tongzhou, three months of military pay will be paid in ten days.
The advantage is that Zhu Cilang's trip to Zuoye Army quickly stabilized the morale of the Five Military Camps. These soldiers from the Five Military Camps were waiting day and night, waiting for the military pay ten days later.
The disadvantage is that Zhu Cilang has not thought of any good idea for the time being to make this money.
After returning to the capital, Zhu Cilang looked worried. He did not return to the palace, but went directly to the Northern Town Fushi. Zhu Cilang summoned Luo Yangxing, Xia Dechao, Li Hao and other soldiers of the Jinyiwei Guard. In addition, Yuan Xiaoxiao, Yan Yishuang, Han Sanniang, Xiang Liu and others from the Eastern Palace Guard were also there.
The soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard seemed to be unable to help in this matter, so they could only rely on Luo Yangxing.
"Luo Yangxing, what is the way to make money quickly?" Zhu Cixuan asked.
This suddenly stumped Luo Yangxing. Is there any way to make money quickly? Is there any way to make money quickly? I, Luo Yangxing, was the first to rush forward.
But the prince spoke, and you had to answer: "This, the prince, the subordinate, and the subordinates think there is no suitable solution for the time being."
"Who else can check and confiscate their home?" Zhu Cixuan asked again.
Luo Yangxing shook his head: "When you go back to your highness, our Jinyiwei has not collected more information yet. In a hurry, if we do not have real evidence to investigate and deal with a certain minister's home, it will probably cause a shock to the court. My subordinates think that we must not be too hasty. When the Jinyiwei slowly collects evidence, it will not be too late to make plans in the future."
Luo Yangxing didn't dare to say anything else. You little prince thought about it and said it was all the time. You were too naive. I really thought that the matters of the three camps were so easy to solve. Do you really think that the emperor gave you the defense of the Jingji community to you because he had full trust in you?
In Luo Yangxing's opinion, Emperor Chongzhen's whim was given to Zhu Cilang's full defense. It may not be that he really had full trust in the little prince. Instead, Chongzhen himself had no choice.
That's right, Chongzhen himself couldn't clean up the mess of the Three Dayings. Instead of smashing it into his hands and making it suffocated, it's better to leave it to Zhu Cilang and let him go.
Anyway, the three camps have become so bad that they can still be broken no matter how bad they are. Without money, it is a matter for gods to do nothing.
Zhu Cilang is worried about money now, so he didn't say anything anymore. He knew that it would be useless to ask Luo Yang's character again. It is not a solution to blindly search for corrupt officials. The final side effects are also huge. If you continue to investigate, even the entire system of the court will collapse.
But if you don’t check how corrupt officials make money, Zhu Cixuan thought of his grandfather, Zhou Kui, the father-in-law.
To be honest, Zhou Kui has been exhausted. It is not an exaggeration to describe his family as being a bare-sized person. However, Zhou Kui is not worried, but instead hums a small song every day, looking extremely happy.
Even when I eat, I can cook two dishes, or even serve a pot of wine.
Why? Because I hold a trump card in my hand, Xishan’s glass factory! Xishan Glass Factory is a treasure pot. I have invested in the stocks. In the future, I will make money. The amount I invested in is a small amount.
Zhou Kui, who was dreaming, had not yet waited for his wealth to come to visit His Royal Highness.
This made Zhou Kui very excited and personally went to the courtyard to welcome his good grandson: "Oh, why did the prince have time to come to me today? Come on, come on, sit in the house. Come on, Liufu, serve tea. Good tea, my favorite Tieguanyin!"
Zhou Kui felt that he had brought all the Tieguanyin he loved to drink the most, which showed that I felt so distressed to you, a good grandson. Liufu went on, and ordered two maids to come in and pour tea for Zhu Cixuan.
Zhou Kui couldn't hide his excitement: "Prince, the Xishan Mountain is working day and night, and he is working hard. I just came back from there a few days ago, and our mines still need to be expanded and expanded..."
