The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 451 Solved the issue of military pay

The emperor opened the envelope and looked at it.

The civil and military officials in the palace secretly observed the expression on the emperor's face. They were puzzled when they saw the emperor's expression of bewilderment from frowning at first, and then suddenly enlightened and enlightened.

After putting down the letter, the emperor said: "This businessman named Lin Youqian generously donated silver taels to serve as military pay. This act is of great righteousness. I came here to give him a plaque in the restaurant and post a notice to show his appreciation. This is a role model to emulate."

Li Quan: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The officials below looked at me and I looked at you, all guessing what the emperor was thinking.

The emperor squinted his eyes and glanced at them, and said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, even a businessman can understand righteousness so well, and has never been stingy with money in front of the country. As important ministers of the country, you should be no worse than this person." ,yes?"

The emperor's meaning was so obvious, the officials below were naturally not stupid, although they were all reluctant, but Taiwei Yang took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 5000 taels of silver as military salary."

The emperor smiled heartily: "Yang Taiwei is really a good minister who cares about the country and the people, I see you right!"

Now someone started to start, and the officials below naturally started to say: "I am willing to donate 3000 taels of silver as military salary."

"I am willing to donate 1000 taels of silver as military salary."

"The minister is also willing to donate 500 taels as military salary..."

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to..."

If it weren't for today's incident, the emperor would not have known that his courtiers had such a rich family, and today the court had collected nearly 50 taels of silver.

After coming down to court, the emperor went to the queen's bedroom. After he left, the queen was virtuous and virtuous, and voluntarily donated countless gold, silver and jewels as military pay. For a while, all the concubines in the harem donated together.

The plaque sent to Yanyu Tower has been hung up, and the notice has also been posted. Some businessmen are very smart, understand the meaning of the emperor, and voluntarily donate a part of the silver, while some businessmen who intend to pretend to turn a blind eye are suddenly investigated by the government in their business , Finally gritted his teeth and donated money.

In just three days, the military pay of 20 taels of gold that was robbed was collected in this way.

In the imperial study.

The emperor repeatedly looked at the letter written by Lin Youqian, Long Yan was very happy, and said to Li Quan: "This Lin Youqian is very interesting. He really awakened the dreamer with a word. It was easily solved by him, hahaha..."

Li Quandao: "Although the ministers, women, and wealthy merchants gritted their teeth and donated silver taels, they should hold grudges against Lin Youqian, a merchant. After all, they cost them a lot of wealth. Isn't the emperor afraid that they will retaliate against this merchant? "

The emperor said: "Well, what you said is reasonable, how about it, I will go out of the palace in two days and go to the Yanyu Tower for dinner, and you go and order the people in the Yanyu Tower to make preparations."

Li Quan naturally understood what the emperor meant, which meant to support Lin Youqian.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will arrange it now."

……

Prime Minister's House.

The man in black knelt in front of Lin Langtian, and said: "Master, my subordinates have already checked. This businessman named Lin Youqian has an extremely mysterious identity. We only know that he is from the capital. He has many shops and businesses in the capital city. , rarely show up, but..."

Lin Langtian: "But what?"

"This Lin Youqian bought a clothing store at the beginning, and he managed it well. Now most of the clothes and cloth business in the capital city are in his hands. After that, he bought the Yanyu Pavilion in the place of fireworks and renamed it Yanyulou runs a restaurant business, and this Yuelaifang clothing store was originally owned by the fifth lady. After the fifth lady passed away, no one took care of it. It was not until the third lady signaled the shopkeeper to sell it three years ago that Lin Youqian bought it. .”

"Qingqian actually sold this tailor shop to Lin Youqian?"

"Yes, master."

Lin Langtian pondered for a moment, "Can you find out how this person is related to Qingqian?"

The man in black said: "My subordinates have checked, after the third lady sold Yue Laifang, she has no connection with this tailor shop."

Lin Langtian always felt that something was wrong. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he put the matter aside and told the man in black: "Send someone to watch this Lin Youqian, Find out if he has any relationship with Gu Changgeng."

"Yes, master."

In Lin Langtian's eyes, Lin Qingqian was at best a little clever, how could she have thought that a daughter like her would make such a big business, and even hide it so deeply.

willow garden.

Hanyue pushed the door open, walked up to Lin Qingqian, and said, "Miss, as you expected, after the emperor read your letter, he explicitly and secretly signaled those ministers, concubines and wealthy businessmen to donate silver taels voluntarily. Military pay, the issue of military pay is no longer a concern."

Lin Qingqian couldn't help laughing softly when she thought about how the emperor stretched out his hand to ask the officials and concubines in the harem for money in the court hall.

No matter what, the emperor can understand that it is good to let him slaughter this group of people, not to increase taxes and exploit ordinary people for the sake of military salary. Now that the problem of military salary is solved, the Xuanjiaying and Gu Changgeng who are in the frontier are gone. Worrying about the future, you can also fight the Bada tribe with peace of mind.

"By the way, miss, just now I came back from Yuelaifang. Mr. Huai'an told shopkeeper Li that Mrs. Li Quan will go to the Yanyu Building today to inform that the emperor will have dinner at the Yanyu Building in two days, so we can prepare well. You will come forward at that time." Welcome the emperor?"

"The emperor is going to Yanyu Tower for dinner?"

"Yes."

Lin Qingqian tapped the table with her slender fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm not suitable to come out, and it would be troublesome to be recognized, so...you explain clearly to the people in Yanyulou, and you can pretend to be Lin Youqian to meet the emperor." .”

"Yes, ma'am."

Lin Qingqian didn't care too much about the emperor going to the Yanyu Tower for dinner, it is impossible for the left and right emperors to go to the Yanyu Tower to find fault.

Sure enough, two days later, the emperor went to Yanyulou for dinner, and in a moment of joy, he even made a promise to Lin Youqian, as long as it did not violate morality, the emperor would promise him one thing.

As soon as these words came out, many people were envious. This is quite a gold medal for avoiding death.

……

Qinghe City.

Murong Jing was holding the letter from the secret agent of the capital city, his handsome face under the mask had an inexplicable smile on it.

Long Yi asked: "His Royal Highness, there is a letter from the secret agents of the capital city, but regarding the military pay of the Beiming Kingdom, have they decided to withdraw their troops or..."

Murong Jing put the letter on the candle and lit it, and the letter paper turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

He said: "There is a person who has solved the matter of the military salary for Beiming."

Long Yi was very surprised, "Someone settled the military salary for Beiming, who is he?"

"The third lady of Beiming Prime Minister's Mansion."

Long Yi was surprised, saw that Murong Jing's eyes were dim and he couldn't read his mind, so he asked tentatively: "Are you going to let Yang Cong and the others deal with Lin Qingqian secretly?"

Murong Jing's eyes suddenly turned cold, "What? Are you teaching Gu how to behave?"

"The subordinate dare not, it is the subordinate who overstepped, please punish him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Go and receive the punishment yourself."

"Yes."

Long Yi retreated to receive the punishment, he was very surprised, according to Murong Jing's temperament, he would definitely not let Lin Qingqian go easily, why was it so abnormal this time?
Murong Jing rubbed the white jade teacup in his hand, narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes, "I knew this, I shouldn't have kept you in the capital city, girl, you are really not good at all..."
