Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 386 Three million is given as promised, so it turns out to be...? (Please subscribe!!)
Looking at the plan brochure handed over by Wang Yan, Ouyang Lun waved his hand and said, "Let Lao Guo read the plan, and I won't read it."

"Okay." Wang Yan handed the brochure to Guo Zi again, "Mr. Guo, the people of Sichuan are just waiting for this money. You must help me more!"

"Master Wang, since you had a plan, you should have just given it to me!" Guo Zi said angrily as he took the booklet.

"Hehe, aren't I afraid that you will lie to me again? When you, Guo Zi, were the Minister of Household Affairs, you were not only famous but also liked to lie to people. I have to be careful." Wang Yan said with a smile.

"Well, Wang Yan! You miss me like this! It's a shame that I brought you to see the Prince Consort!" Guo Zi said speechlessly: "Our household department has a process. If you want money, your plan must pass the review and be approved halfway. Our people in the Economic Investigation Department will track the use of funds throughout the entire process. If it does not comply with the plan, or even involves corruption and bribery, then it will be a big problem!"

"I understand, Prince Consort Ouyang and Mr. Guo can rest assured about this. The money... I will definitely use it for the people!" Wang Yan rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "The key is how much money can the Ministry of Household Approval give me this time?"

Ouyang Lun lay back on the rocking chair and said relaxedly: "Mr. Wang, this question makes it difficult for me to answer! According to the normal process, you have to make a plan and have it approved by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Only after approval can the funds be allocated, and The amount of the allocation is also determined based on the plan you wrote and the actual situation of Sichuan Province."

"I can't just say that the number of approvals is what I say. If that's the case, what will happen to me? Someone will definitely say...I, Ouyang Lun, work in the Ministry of Household Affairs and spend the money from the National Examination at will, which belongs to the country. Big traitor!"

"Actually, I don't care about this myself. The main thing is that I'm afraid that it will implicate Mr. Wang!"

Hearing this, Wang Yan was stunned and asked curiously: "Is this going to hurt me?"

"Of course! I gave you the money. Others will definitely think that you are an accomplice of Ouyang Lun. If your Majesty listens to these words again, he will send me to the sky prison..."

First, he lamented that the famous Ouyang Consort was definitely an unusual person, such a thick-skinned and courageous person, but after hearing Ouyang Lun's words, he became a little scared. His speech ability was not comparable to his.

At this point, Ouyang Lun paused for a moment, looked at Wang Yan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, do you think you can escape by then?"

Wang Yan kept thinking in his heart.

Anyway, you can't afford to tell me, and it's not him who is embarrassed.

Wait, is this a kind word from Ouyang Lun?
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be embarrassed to speak again, but who is Wang Yan?
Debt Collection Hell!
He is famous for recognizing money but not people.

It was at this time that Ouyang Lun spoke again: "Of course, rules are dead, but people are alive. I also know a little about the situation in Sichuan Province. The people's life is not as good as imagined. Special handling should be done in special circumstances." .”

I don’t care whether you agree or not, I’ll talk about it first.

After saying this, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

"By the way, how many do you want to approve?"

"Not to mention the current Beizhili, even the past Beizhili cannot compare!"

Second, he felt that asking for money this time would not bring any good results. If Guo Zi was still the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he would be 80 to 90 percent sure of getting satisfactory money for his preparation this time.

But Ouyang Lun now belongs to the Household Department, and there is no good way to get the consort by himself. I am afraid it will be harder to get money than last year.

Since you, Ouyang Lun, have asked me how much I want, I will naturally tell you.

"There are high mountains and steep cliffs everywhere, and there is also the turbulent Yangtze River. Just leaving Sichuan Province is very strenuous."

"I remember what you said, that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Our Sichuan Province also wants to build roads, but the road to Shu is difficult!"

"This time I just want to raise some money to build a road from Sichuan Province to the outside world, strengthen the connection between Sichuan Province and other provinces, and also give the people of Sichuan Province a way out!"

At first he thought there was no hope, but after hearing this, Wang Yan suddenly felt that things had turned around and there was hope again.

Hearing this, Wang Yan's expression changed and he nodded slowly, "Consort Ouyang thought carefully, I almost made a big mistake!"

Thinking of this, Wang Yan immediately smiled and said: "Ouyang Prince Consort, the lives of our people in Sichuan Province are really miserable!"

Alas - I don’t ask for a million, I can just give a few hundred thousand, which is more than last year.

"Some people heard that they could make money by working in Beizhili, so they went to Beizhili. As a result, because of the rugged roads, less than half of a hundred people made it to Beizhili alive, and even fewer came back safely. Too few!”

"Ouyang Prince Consort! How can our Sichuan Province develop with such road conditions?"

These words were completely Wang Yan's true feelings, and he burst into tears as he spoke.

"So I hope that the Ministry of Revenue can grant me a grant from Sichuan Province this time... three million!"

Now that you have opened your mouth, you must ask for less and give Ouyang Lun a chance to counter-offer!
As for the three million, Wang Yan never thought that he could apply for it. He himself felt that this amount was ridiculously large. It seems that from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to today, in addition to building the Great Wall, the imperial court allocated more than three million to the Northern Zhili, giving There is no such amount as three million in other provinces, and even one million is extremely difficult to see.

"three million!?!?"

Guo Zi's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Master Wang, I think you are not here to ask for money. You really regard our prince-in-law as the God of Wealth. You are here to make a wish!"

"Ahem." Wang Yan also felt guilty.

At this time, Ouyang Lun said calmly: "It is indeed not easy to travel to Sichuan Province. The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky. In this way, three million taels will be three million taels. I think you, Wang Yan, are really doing it for the good of the people." Officer, I hope you can make good use of this money so that the people of Sichuan Province can live a good life."

Um! ?

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Wang Yan was dumbfounded.

He even suspected that he heard wrongly.

This. Is this agreed? !

Three million, this is three million! Not thirty thousand!

When did the imperial court give the province below three million? !

incredible.

"Ouyang Prince Consort! Prince Consort! Do you really want to allocate three million to my Sichuan Province?"

When asking this question, Wang Yan's voice began to tremble.

"Huh? What? You don't think it's too little, do you?"

"Although I have set a limit of 10 million taels for each province, this money is not for you to withdraw all at once. Besides, if I really give you 10 million taels, do you have room to spend it? Just you Sichuan If you are so poor, you may not even be able to transport these ten million taels of silver back!"

"Don't be ignorant!" Ouyang Lun said with a look of disgust.

In the past, whoever would have dared to scold Wang Yan like this, he would immediately start to scold him. But listening to Ouyang Lun scolding him, Wang Yan not only didn't feel angry at the moment, but felt very happy all over!
The more he scolds, the more it proves that the three million is not empty talk!

scold! Scold hard!
"Damn it, why are you looking at me like this, you old man? I'm male, I like women, I don't like men, and I don't like you, a rotten old man whose half body is in the dirt!"

"You're looking at me like this, can you please? I'm going to hit someone!"

Ouyang Lun really couldn't stand Wang Yan's eyes, and his face was filled with disgust.

Wang Yan smiled and said: "As long as I can make you happy, Prince Consort, and the three million can be paid, even if Prince Consort, you beat me to death today, I will still die!"

"Three million is enough!"

"Is that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Wang Yan nodded repeatedly.

"Then stay away from me."

"Okay." Wang Yan took a few steps back obediently.

"Huh -" Ouyang Lun breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, since the amount of money is satisfactory, you can go and get the money quickly. Remember to check the terms with Lao Guo. Don't blame me for not reminding you, this money is not It’s so easy to get!”

"Okay, okay!" Wang Yan nodded, "I would like to thank the prince-in-law on behalf of the millions of people in Sichuan Province!!"

"Now that the Prince Consort has spoken, Mr. Wang, come with me! If we move faster, you can see the money today!" Guo Zi said.

"Okay! Please excuse me, Mr. Guo. I apologize for what happened before!" Wang Yan was not in a good mood right now.

Soon, Guo Zi left with Wang Yan.

Ouyang Lun lay on the rocking chair again. After a while, Princess Anqing came over with Ouyang Pingan.
Inside the Hubu Yamen.

Wang Yan, accompanied by Guo Zi, signed a series of documents, and finally three million silver was presented in front of Wang Yan.

"Good boy! This is three million!"

"The tax burden of our Sichuan Province this year is less than 3 million. This move by the Prince Consort is tantamount to exempting the people of my Sichuan Province from taxes for a year!"

"A great kindness!"

Seeing the excited Wang Yan, Guo Zi said: "Master Wang, if you want three million, the Prince Consort will give you three million. There will be no second one in the world!"

"Don't look at it, the Prince Consort has not even read your plan. In fact, he has already understood the situation in Sichuan Province. With these three million taels of silver in your hands, you must not let the Prince Consort down! "

"Master Guo, please tell the Prince Consort that I, Wang Yan, and the millions of people in Sichuan Province will remember this favor from the Prince Consort. With these three million, I, Wang Yan, will still have to make some achievements even if I die. !”

Wang Yan patted his chest and said excitedly.

"Master Wang, you must not die! If you die, who will our household department go to collect the money?" Guo Zi said quickly.

"Huh!? Cashier? What does this mean?" Wang Yan asked in confusion.

"Uh, Mr. Wang, don't you know yet? You just signed a 3 million tael low-interest loan contract with the Ministry of Household Affairs for thirty years, with a benefit of 6%. No principal or interest will be charged in the first year, and starting from the second year Pay back the debt every month in equal amounts of principal and interest," Guo Zi said.

"Ah! Loan?!" Wang Yan was dumbfounded, "Didn't this come directly from the imperial court to our Sichuan Province?"

"Give it directly?" Guo Zi smiled, "My Lord Wang, are you too naive? Although the treasury does have money, it only adds up to tens of millions. If I give you three million from Sichuan Province, , other provinces must also want it, how can there be so much money? Of course, there must be money, but the money is not brought by the strong wind, and it is three million for free. How can it be such a good thing? "

"Mr. Wang, you don't have to worry. This loan contract is really very conscientious. You can use three million for free for one year. After one year, you can pay it back in thirty years, and it only costs you 6% interest." , do you know how much you will pay every month after one year?"

"How many?"

"You only need less than 20,000 taels a month. Can't you Sichuan Province come up with this little money?" Guo Zi said with a smile: "If I give you these 3 million, you can definitely create more profits." , this deal is simply a win-win situation!!”

"It's really no different than giving it to you for free."

"That seems to be the case." Wang Yan thought carefully and nodded.

Borrowing three million, with only 6% interest, free use for one year, and repayment over thirty years is really not a burden.

"Master Guo, I would like to ask, are all yamen and provinces loans?" Wang Yan asked.

"As long as the plan is submitted for review, it is the loan contract. The one approved by His Majesty personally is not the normal appropriation by the Ministry of Revenue. Our Ministry of Revenue has a strict approval process." Guo Zi explained.

"Then what will happen if the money is not paid by then?" Although he felt that the repayment was easy, Wang Yan still asked.

"Master Wang, you are the first to ask this question." Guo Zi smiled and continued to explain: "This loan was signed by you on behalf of the Sichuan Province. It stipulates that you personally and all officials of the Sichuan Province , natural resources, and government assets as collateral. If it is not repaid upon maturity, our Economic Investigation Department will give priority to your personal assets for enforcement. If it is still not enough after enforcement, we will enforce the assets of all officials. If the officials' assets are not enough, we will enforce it. Government assets! In short, the money can definitely be recovered."

Although Guo Zi kept smiling when he was talking, Wang Yan was breaking out in a cold sweat while listening.

"I seem to have signed a contract of sale."

"Master Wang, you have to have some confidence in yourself. You have to think about it this way. You have three million in your hands now. You have never been so rich. If you use these three million to benefit the people and develop Sichuan Province, As Sichuan Province develops, tax revenue will double several times a year like that of Beizhili, and maybe three million will be earned back in a year, so what do you have to worry about?" Guo Zi said with a smile.

"It makes sense!" Wang Yan was calm, "Mr. Guo, I was really shocked when I heard these words from you today! It's better than studying for ten years! I wouldn't have thought that I could save money even if I beat myself to death. Play like this!"

Guo Zi waved his hand and said: "Master Wang, my consort taught me these things. He is the one who is really powerful!"

"You also have to thank the Prince Consort. If the Prince Consort hadn't come up with this idea, you would probably still be begging for money. You wouldn't have been able to get three million so quickly!"

"Yes!" Wang Yan nodded, as if he thought of another question, "Mr. Guo, I would like to ask. I heard that some yamen received money from the household department before. Didn't they also get loans? Do they know about this?"

Guo Zi smiled mysteriously, "Master Wang, what do you think?"
