Eternal traitor

Chapter 214 Lack of Money
The financial envoy Zhang Ji recited all the bills of the past few months to the King of Qin. After speaking, the scattered bills added up to more than 500 million taels of silver, which was less than before. 500 million taels of silver, that's because there is no tax at all in the disaster-stricken areas, and it is difficult for the people to even eat, so where can you hand over the money and food? ?

"enough."

King Qin roared, Zhang Ji quickly shut his mouth and knelt there obediently, not daring to speak.

"Just tell Gu Guoku how much money is left??"

I dare not calculate the bill at all, it will be too much, even the king of Qin didn't feel how much money he spent, but it is true that there is no money, but now the refugees are in urgent need of money, how can they save people without money ? ?
"A total of five thousand, 320, three taels of silver, 330 and four copper coins."

Zhang Ji, who knew everything about finances, replied tremblingly that he was afraid that King Qin would chop off his head in anger.Who can walk to his position, who doesn't take some money privately?I also took tens of thousands of taels of silver, but these tens of thousands of taels of silver are not enough for you.

"boom."

Qin Wang slapped the table in front of him and immediately stood up, walked down angrily, and pulled out the sword in his hand with a "Zheng" sound. Under the horrified eyes of the two, Qin Wang put the sword on... ······ Zhang Ji's neck.

"You are very clear. Then you say that Gu is short of money now, how much money can you donate to Gu? If you can't satisfy Gu, he will send someone to raid your home, and if there is corruption, cut off your dog's head. "

Qin Wang has been very angry recently, he is short of money now, very short of money, if it wasn't for the last rationality reminding him to control his emotions, otherwise, he would have chopped off this person's head now.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life."

It was the first time Zhang Ji felt that death was so close, he almost cried, and hurriedly cried and begged for mercy.

"Say."

King Qin didn't want to do this either, but he said he would lose tens of millions of taels of silver. If Zhang Ji wasn't greedy for even a penny, he couldn't believe it.In a word, Gu needs money now, you can survive by spitting out what you swallowed, otherwise... you will die.

"Chen... I would like to donate 5 taels of silver."

Under the threat of life and death, Zhang Ji hurriedly expressed his money for his life.

"Ok??"

5 taels? ?The king of Qin snorted dissatisfiedly and brought the sword in his hand closer to Zhang Ji's neck. The cold sword even touched Zhang Ji's neck, and Zhang Ji's heart was about to collapse for a while.

"Your Majesty, I would like to... I would like to donate 7 taels of silver."

Zhang Ji shouted loudly, this is already all the property of his family, although he has a higher official position than Jinzhong, but he is in charge of the treasury's silver, so he dare not take more.The national treasury is King Qin's money. For his own money, King Qin often checks the ledger. If he wants to make a little fake account, he needs to be extremely cautious.

"Your life is reserved for you for the time being."

King Qin had secretly ordered someone to investigate the situation of Zhang Ji's family. This guy really didn't greedy too much money, and 7 taels of silver was almost all of his family wealth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

When Zhang Ji heard that he was able to survive, he kowtowed to the King of Qin as if he had received a heavy burden.

"Prime Minister Lu."

"The minister is here."

Lu Buwei, who was named by the King of Qin, couldn't help trembling in his heart. He was afraid that after the Qing Dynasty, he would also do such a trick to him. He was really afraid.Lu Buwei's family has countless gold and silver, countless servants, a large family all over the Qin State, and an astonishingly large business. If all his property is confiscated, it may be worth the tax of Qin State for one or two years, right? ?
"You have also seen that Gu really needs money to help the refugees, how much money can the Lu family donate?"

The sword in King Qin's hand hadn't been put away yet, and although his tone was not as tough as before, it was still a bit hooligan.

"The Lu family can donate 10 taels of silver."

Lu Buwei replied with his head down, although 10 taels of silver is a lot, it is not too much for him.He could donate more, and he could even make up for all the 300 million taels of silver, but he didn't do that, after all...the wealth is not revealed.Although King Qin knew that he was rich, he didn't know how much money he had, but how much he had.

Once he took out the 300 million taels of silver without hesitation, then their Lu family would not be far from perishing.

"There is still a shortage of at least 200 million taels of silver. Is it possible that we have to take back all the money for repairing the capital of King Qin?"

The money used to repair King Qin's capital is not only for the maintenance of the palace, but also for the streets, some important buildings and buildings used for sacrifices. Now half of the repairs have been made. If they are taken back, it will be a bit ugly.

"Your Majesty, please don't do it. All the money has been distributed, and even if it is withdrawn, it will not exceed [-]%. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

But Zhang Ji understands the way, it's easy for you to give money, but you want to get it back? ?Thirty percent is what he said too much. The money given out is like whoever poured it out. If you want to get it back, the people below will spend all the money as soon as they hear the wind and grass. You can’t even see the shadow of the money. arrive.

"Then how do you want to be alone?? Tell me."

Qin Wang has never been so worried about money, but today 200 million taels of silver stumped him, even if he wanted to save people, he would not hesitate to leave a bad name, even so, he could not afford the minimum amount of money, This king of Qin is really aggrieved.

The King of Qin knew that if he called on the ministers to donate money to the refugees, they would definitely not give much money.Don't look at how loyal each of these people usually say they are, but when it's time to take out the money, they all shrink back and don't know what to do, and they get angry when they mention it.

The already unhappy King Qin became even more irritable, the sword in his hand kept dancing in the air, frightened Zhang Ji, Lu Buwei and several eunuchs shiveringly shivering for fear of being cut off by King Qin.

Just when King Qin was extremely irritable, Qin Fei, the chief eunuch at the side, cautiously came five meters away from King Qin, "Your Majesty, Your Highness Yingzheng begs to see you."

"he came??"

King Qin put away the sword in his hand, and murmured in doubt, he had already let Li Hua go, why did he come looking for him?If I had known that I would not have let him go, I would have released him after getting 200 million taels of silver from Ying Zheng.It never occurred to him that his huge treasury could not afford 300 million taels of silver.

"Let him in."

King Qin returned to his position, adjusted his state, and then silently thought about how to get some money from his son...
