Chapter 619

Leng Huating was really worried about Jinniang and Brother Yang. The people from Xiliang were able to rob Wang Ke from the palace. , I had to come, so I had to endure the anxiety in my heart to see the prince.

The crown prince handed the border battle report in the hands of Minister of the Ministry of War to Leng Huating. After seeing it, Leng Huating's face became more solemn. General Sun was struggling to support the border in order to protect the lives of the people in the border city. The situation in the middle is not stable, the prince is still playing the game of playing hard to get, pretending to be a father, a loving son, and a filial son, and he still refuses to ascend the throne. He regrets whether he did something wrong. The prince will also be an emperor in the future, and he will be an emperor. I always have a lot of doubts, will I be like the emperor, restraining myself and Jinniang everywhere, will I also do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?

Leng Huating was conflicted for a while, he wanted to protect his family and live a happy and beautiful life, but he also wanted to protect everyone and save all the people from fire and water. However, the lessons learned by the people in Prince Jane's residence over the past few lifetimes made him a little hesitant. Not before, do not know how to choose.

"Your Highness, the plan for the present is to quickly raise food and grass, and send more soldiers to the border to help General Sun." Leng Huating finally made up his mind. He is a selfish person, but he is also an upright person. A man with strong bones, he wants to save Xiaojia and everyone, he has to take care of both.

"Master Leng, I have already mentioned your proposal to several senior ministers, but now the treasury is empty and the time is urgent. There is no way to raise so much money and food for a while. My lord is the right-hand man of His Highness the Crown Prince. At such a critical moment, he must be much smarter and quicker than me and other veterans, and there must be a way to solve this matter." Master Liu, Minister of the Household Department, saw Leng Huating as if he had seen a savior, and his eyes immediately lit up, The unbearable burden was unloaded on Leng Huating.

Prince He snorted, turned his head away in disdain, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid Mr. Leng can't do anything about it, no matter how rich your Prince Jane's mansion is, is the money you have saved bigger than the national treasury? This book Wang Ke really wants to ask Prince Jane, where did so much money come from? No wonder the money from Jiangnan has been sent to the court less and less in the past two years, I'm afraid it's really tricky."

Leng Huating burst into anger when he heard this, forced his anger, sneered and said to Prince He: "What Uncle Wang said really makes some sense, so much money, it is impossible for me to pay Prince Jane's house , Prince Jane’s mansion really doesn’t have that much money, but there is a way, my nephew, I really have one, and I need to raise enough money for [-] shi of food. We can hold the throat of the court. Our Dajin has been rich and peaceful for many years. The treasury has no money, and the ministers have money in their families. There are a lot of princes and nobles who are as rich as Prince Jane’s mansion. At this moment, all the ministers and ministers of the Wang family will naturally have to contribute money and efforts to protect the family and the country."

Prince He, Prince Rong, and others turned pale when they heard that. They never thought that Leng Huating would be so sinister, and they even calculated their own small treasury into it with a single sentence. It was hard work to earn back all these years. Isn't it more painful than cutting flesh if you want to take out the family's money from your pocket?
However, the prince's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he applauded at that time, and said to Leng Huating: "Xiaoting's method is feasible, you are indeed my right-hand man, and you helped me solve the big problem as soon as you opened your mouth. Speaking of which, everyone In the families of princes and ministers, there are not a few people who are as rich as the enemy. The emperor is not harsh on the princes and uncles. These years, after returning the money from the Jiangnan base, he has distributed it to everyone. It is natural for money to contribute, as the saying goes, if there is no skin, how can the hair be attached? If there is a problem with the Dajin Dynasty, how will you uncles continue your glory and wealth, and how can you keep your family's money? The so-called , She Xiaojia, for everyone, Uncle Wang, now is the time for you to show your loyalty to the court."

All the princes and ministers immediately looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces, some mouth corners were twitching, some cheeks were trembling, and some lips were pale, but none of them immediately agreed with the prince's words, and no one dared to speak. Objecting, Leng Huating glanced at them mockingly, and said loudly to the prince: "I would like to take the lead and donate 5 taels of silver to the imperial court in the name of Prince Jane's residence."

The prince was depressed because he was left cold after his intense mobilization speech. Hearing Leng Huating's words, he happily continued: "Well, let's take Prince Jane's mansion as the standard. Every prince's mansion must Donate 3 taels to the court, and the minister’s family is not as wealthy as the prince’s, so donate less. Mr. Liu, you and Mr. Zhang each donate 1 taels. The family of Mr. Sun’s family will be less, General Sun But to fight for the country at the border, let’s use 5000 taels, come and deal with the entries, depending on the size of the official position, every minister has to donate, and the money must go into the treasury tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes.”

When Prince He and Prince Rong heard this, their faces turned green. Who doesn't know that Prince Jian's mansion is the richest? Leng Huating took out 5 taels of silver without blinking an eye, but 3 taels of silver required both of them If you take it out, it’s not killing them. Although they have made some money over the years, they have spent a lot of money. 3 taels is half of their family’s savings, but the prince has already spoken. Well, Leng Huating has set an example again, can they not donate?
After an attack, Prince He and Prince Rong didn't get any bargains, instead they broke off 3 taels of silver. They were like defeated roosters, clutching their wings, and left in a hurry. He glanced back at Leng Huating, and after being cast back by someone's sharper gaze, he left the palace gate in frustration.

5000 taels of silver is really nothing to Sun Xiangye. Jinniang often takes money from her natal family every month. Among several ministers, Sun Xiang is the fastest to respond. He took the initiative to ask for an affair with Master Zhang and Master Liu Colleagues also donated 1 taels of silver, and the two ministers of the Ministry of War had no choice but to grit their teeth and go home to get the silver.

Where there are corrupt officials in the court, there are upright officials. After those ministers retreated, Leng Huating said to the prince: "Your Highness, from the names listed, we must exclude a few upright officials from poor families, otherwise, it would be too unfair." gone."
