42 Treasury Filled
It’s just a pity that Hu Guang came from later generations and was not something he could fool. The simplest truth is, if you are so wronged and poor as an official, why are there so many people rushing to become an official?
However, Hu Guang did not intend to expose his words, but instead asked according to his words: "Why are you working hard for the Ming Dynasty? Why are you not paying your salary in full?"
"..." Everyone was speechless, why didn't you know, pretending to be stupid!
However, even though they knew that the emperor was pretending to be stupid, they did not dare to expose it and could only answer accordingly. The Minister of Revenue Bi Ziyan looked up and replied honestly: "Your Majesty, the court is not able to pay."
"Oh, I remember that the imperial court has been declining for a long time. Not only your salary, but also your military pay, as well as this disaster relief, etc., are all because of lack of money? " Hu Guang pretended to be enlightened and confirmed to them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene calmed down a little, and then a thunderous flattery sounded immediately.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty's great opinion!"
“That’s exactly that!”
“…”
Hu Guang heard this and waved his hand to interrupt them, "Okay, since that's the case, you and others will think of a countermeasure for our Ming Dynasty ministers. As long as you can fill the treasury, you can pay full salary. No matter what method, even if you write down the method of raiding the rich households and extermination of the clan, I will not blame you! I will see you tomorrow morning. Well, everyone must have it, do you understand?"
When these officials heard this, they were stunned. The emperor's determination to seek wealth seemed to be very determined!
Thinking of this, they quickly agreed in unison, but they felt relieved. It seemed that today's affairs were probably over, and only Xue Lian was unlucky.
Sure enough, the emperor said to them: "I have also allocated military tents. Don't worry about the rest of the matter. The donated money and food must be in place. There are also those kind-hearted people in the capital. Let them donate what you can donate. No matter what you do, I only have one, don't let me see these refugees die of hunger and cold again!"
After saying that, he stopped caring about the responses of these officials, clamped his legs and drove away.
"Long live my emperor, long live my life!" Whether it was officials, soldiers, or those refugees, they all knelt on the ground and delivered in unison.
"Ding, achievement value +1, from Refugee A!"
"Ding, achievement value +1, from Refugee B!"
"Ding, achievement value +1, from military soldiers armor!"
"Ding, achievement value +1, comes from eunuchs' Fangzhenghua!"
“…”
The sound of ding ding ground is endless, which takes longer than any previous time. However, most of the achievements are contributed by refugees, and few officials with higher positions have contributed.
But even so, after the system prompts you, Hu Guang immediately checks the lower left corner of the chat group: the achievement value is 1512.
I got rich! Hu Guang's first idea was like this. Unexpectedly, this time he came out, his achievement value was more than 1,000. So what the hell is that, it's all right. Anyway, there is still a long way to go to Mangui in the past, so I'll try it with another 100 or 18 people.
Thinking of doing it, Hu Guang immediately wanted to click the add button. But at this moment, Gao Shiyue drove his horse closer to him, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, do you see?"
When Hu Guang heard this, he looked up at the sky and it was almost noon. He turned around and found that it was during the martial law in the capital, and there were no restaurants and hotels open at all. This time, he realized that the Jianlu did not retreat and the martial law in the capital was not eliminated, which was also very inconvenient to the lives of the people in the capital, and it was inevitable that there would be great economic losses.
If it was the original Emperor Chongzhen, even if he didn't care what to eat, he would have to worry about the royal decent, and he might have returned to the palace. But Hu Guang came from later generations. What is royal decent? Can he eat? After a little thought, he said without caring: "Let's go, go to Manqing to have a meal!"
When Hu Guang was holding the meal, he was actually hungry, so he no longer thought about adding people. He raised the horse slightly and left quickly.
In the arrow tower on the top of the city, Man Gui was ordered to set up the command center directly here. In this way, Li Fengxiang, the eunuch of the Beijing camp and the eunuch of the ritual supervisor, had to be on the front of the city because of orders to assist Man Gui. At this time, they were all having a meal.
Li Fengxiang disdained to have a meal with these big-headed soldiers, but instead had a meal alone. Man Gui rose from the lowest-level soldiers. He was used to being in the army, but he didn't care about his identity. He ate with a group of trusted men under his command, and wanted to fill his stomach and do things in a few seconds.
It's no wonder that the emperor entrusts the city defense to him, which is equivalent to giving his life to him. This trust makes Man Gui, who is no one in the court, even more grateful, and wishes to take out his heart and lungs to the emperor to show his loyalty.
At this moment, an eunuch suddenly broke in and hurriedly asked Li Fengxiang where he was, saying that the emperor had an oral order.
Man Gui was a little surprised. He didn't know what it meant to look for him but only Li Fengxiang. However, he did not dare to neglect and quickly led the eunuch to Li Fengxiang's room in the inner room.
After a while, the eunuch hurriedly left. Li Fengxiang was a little panicked after him. He saw him shouting loudly as soon as he came out and removed all the wine and food in his room.
Man Gui was depressed at the sight. What happened to Li Fengxiang not even eat? He couldn't understand, and his straight personality made him ask immediately: "Eunuch Li, what's the big deal?"
Li Fengxiang was very busy. After directing the people to remove all the wine and food, he ordered the people: "Come on, put together some dishes and chopsticks here. Our family wants to have lunch with Lao Man!"
Man Gui didn't see him answer, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed. His straight temper does not mean that he is stupid. Li Fengxiang's usual attitude is always high-ranking, even if the emperor asked him to govern the army in the capital, he still had that kind of meaning and looked down on him a little.
He was not dissatisfied with this. After all, it was not a day or two that the warriors were looked down upon by civil servants or eunuchs. This was something that all warriors were accustomed to. Therefore, Li Fengxiang's abnormal behavior made him even more confused.
After Li Fengxiang finished his work, he sat in his seat and said to Man Gui with a smile: "The emperor left the palace and found out about the refugees. Long Yan was furious and had just sent someone to transfer some military camps from the Beijing camp."
A few "clang" sounds, two generals and schoolmen heard the news and couldn't hold the bowl in their hands and fell to the ground.
