Xi Wenyan's face darkened. What does this old bastard Meng Weiran mean? He gave out five thousand taels of gold, Meng Weiran gave out six thousand taels? Is this trying to overwhelm Zhao Ling and Baiguan? hehe! Why is he? If he suppressed it today, he wouldnât think that the Meng family is the boss in the future? But this is clearly because Zhao Ling wanted to make money from these ministers and suppress these clans. Is it really necessary to fight with Meng Weiran for real money? "I am willing to take out ten thousand taels of gold as military expenses!" Xi Wenyan originally wanted to take a step back, so donât let Zhao Ling cheat too much.
But the more you take a step back, the more angry you become! I! Xi Wenyan! Since ancient times, he was the first minister to erect a monument in the capital, and he earned 12,000 taels of gold in a few days. The head of the nine ministers is the object of respect by all officials and the people! The strongest head of the Xijia family! Why are you suppressed by this old man Meng Weiran? Can't suppress it any more! Isn't it just gold? Ten thousand taels of gold will be earned back in a few days! Xi Wenyan was ruthless. Zhao Ling is now really firmly on the river. No matter from any perspective, Xi Wenyan must suppress Meng Weiran in front of Zhao Ling. Rice paper, fine salt and cotton must be just the tip of Zhao Ling's iceberg. He was also betting that as long as he showed enough loyalty to Zhao Ling and gave enough money, Zhao Ling would definitely give him more benefits. The story of Sanchuan County has spread throughout the Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Lingâs background is unimaginable. Zhao Ling's smile gradually became stronger: "Xi Wenyan always cared about the country and the people, and Meng Weiran Yan Wei was also loyal to the Qin Dynasty. I am very pleased to give two beloved ministers a special gift to ascend the dragon pole." Climbing the Dragon Pole? He ascended to immortality and was a dragon, and he must be a good thing! However, both of them got it, and Xi Wenyan seemed to have won another game, but Meng Weiran had obtained the loyalty chair before, and seemed to have been pressed, but she didn't seem to have been pressed... Meng Weiran's head was not raised up after knocking down. Meng Weiran, this old bastard, had to suppress him, right?
When the other ministers heard about these things from Zhao Lingci, they immediately became interested. "My minister Wang Wan is willing to raise a thousand taels of gold as military expenses." "My minister Chunyu Yue is willing to raise 100 taels of gold as military expenses." "Men Fusheng..." ... In the court, the voices of the ministers fluctuated with each other. Meng Weiran wanted to increase the price, but she had no chance to speak. Zhao Ling was so happy that he was a little bit scammered. Is this money too easy to cheat? But this kind of thing happens only once at most. These old foxes come back and calm down, so how could they be fooled? "All my dear friends have the intention to serve the country. I thank you for the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty here." Zhao Ling smiled, "All ministers who participate in raising military expenses will be given a top-quality glass bead." Zhang Liang and Wei Liao did not speak out from beginning to end. Zhao Ling had already discussed with the two of them about raising military expenses. If Xi Wenyan and the others did not stand up, then Zhang Liang and Wei Liao would start. If all the ministers in the court were willing to raise military expenses, they would not have to stand up. . Zhang Liang and Wei Liao both looked a little strange. Your Majesty is a little too cruel. What kind of loyal minister chair is not made by Zhao Ling himself, it is something made by the apprentice of the Gongshu squad. The Dragon Pole of Climbing the Immortal is a fishing rod. It is more exquisite and useful than an ordinary fishing rod, but what is this name... If you donât know, you might think it is... Ten thousand taels of gold, six thousand taels of gold! And what kind of high-quality glass beads? Your Majesty ordered people to make tens of thousands of glass beads in Sanchuan County. If all of those glass beads were released, the glass beads bought by the nobles at high prices before would definitely be worth the money. His Majesty has produced too many rare things and the cost is extremely low. In the name of the emperor, it is simply too easy to use these things to harvest the wealth of the noble clan. All the civil and military officials in the court, the rich nobles reported their names and the military expenses they were willing to raise, hoping to get Zhao Ling's attention. Aristocratic officials, in addition to their power and money, they also love face. Xi Wenyan and the others have donated money as examples, how could they not donate? Do they have no money? Who do you look down on? Zhao Ling counted the money silently in his heart. Isnât this faster than exploiting the poor people? Ying Zheng had disdained to do such things before, and probably never thought of Zhao Ling's dirty routine. Meng Wu stood aside, and he really couldn't sleep anymore, and he was paying the military expenses. He never thought that military expenditure could be raised like this... Isnât military expenditure relying on taxes?
How much tax does the military expenses raised in such a day have to be charged to the people! "The Grand Marshal Xiao He is also the Minister of the Inner Heroes, and is responsible for the statistics on military expenditure raising." The Mizushita controls the country's financial affairs, including the financing and management of military expenditures. Zhao Linggang succeededAt that time, let Xiao He take control of the position of Grand Marshal. In the past few days, he found an excuse to transfer the original Zhili Neishi, and then let Xiao He serve as Zhili Neishi. Anyway, he will first put important positions in the court. Itâs okay to have a trust in your hands, and then hand it over to a capable disciple. There were many official positions in the court before, and the Meng family and Xi family were watching. This time they donated military funds, and they originally thought that Zhao Ling would arrange official positions for the people they recommended, but they did not expect that Zhao Ling would not give any official positions except for rewarding things. Zhao Ling is also very principled and rewards are OK, but important rights cannot be delegated at will. After the morning court dispersed, Zhao Ling went back to Zhangtai Palace directly. When all officials returned home, they began to transport the gold and money from their homes into the palace. Xi Wenyan used a carriage to transport 1,000 taels of gold and met Meng Weiran in Xianyang Palace. Meng Weiran sneered, "Lord Chang Feng is really powerful, ten thousand taels of gold are just a drop in the bucket." Xi Wenyan put his hands behind him and glanced at Meng Weiran: "Master Yanwei is also a good deal. Six thousand taels of gold is nothing to the Meng family." "I made a lot of money selling fine salt recently." "Hahaha! How can I compare to Lord Chang Feng? I have already erected a monument in Xianyang to keep it in history." The two of them are full of gunpowder, so where is there any friendship between the world? Now that Zhao Ling is at its peak, it is impossible for Zhao Ling to rebel again. The three major clans have gone to one Bai family, and only the two of them are left, but they are not at all sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox. The Bai family is indeed worthy of sin and there is nothing to sympathize with. Xi Wenyan has been in a position that surpasses his ancestors recently, and he is inevitably a little arrogant and does not take Meng Weiran and others seriously. Meng Weiran was dissatisfied at all, believing that Xi Wenyan was just taking advantage of his luck. Whenever the two men exchanged their treasures, he would be the one who erected the statue. Both of them were old foxes, and they knew that Zhao Ling wanted to make money from them, but they made money too fast, which made them feel that gold was nothing more than something outside. Ten thousand taels of gold, six thousand taels of gold are nothing to them. The throne of Zhao Ling has been set, so they are all left to compete for favor. As long as they get Zhao Ling's favor, why worry about not being kept in history?
