Chapter 227 Donating Silver
"You don't even want to admit it?" Luo Chuchu rarely showed an angry expression, she was really angry.
Even if they left a little supplies for the soldiers on the frontier, but they didn't have any left, and they were so vicious!
The ministers lowered their heads, but there was not much fear on their faces.
They are not afraid of Luo Chuchu.
At this time, Luo Chuchu should ask Yan Wenmao for help, but they had a conflict just now, and Luo Chuchu was not sure if Yan Wenmao would be willing to help.
"His Majesty."
Xinyang was supported by the medical woman and walked out of the tent.
"Xinyang." Luo Chuchu's face softened a little, and he asked, "It's been a long time since the supplies were delivered, and Jingzhong hasn't received your reply yet. I don't know why?"
Xinyang was stunned for a moment by Luo Chuchu's question, and after recovering, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's so!"
He sent many letters to the capital, but none of them reached Luo Chuchu.In the end, Xinyang had no choice but to go to Beijing on horseback to meet Luo Chuchu.
When Luo Chuchu learned that all the letters from Xinyang had been intercepted, her expression became even uglier.
She had never felt so powerless before!
It was Feng Su'er's successful completion of the task that gave Luo Chuchu the illusion that what she wanted to do could be achieved as long as she arranged it well, but she didn't expect the reality to slap her hard.
"you!"
Luo Chuchu picked up a teacup and smashed it hard in front of the officials, the sound of broken porcelain pierced the eardrums.
"You are refusing to confess because you have made up your mind that there is nothing I can do to you. If I arrest everyone, there will be no one to manage the Luo Kingdom."
"Okay, I will not ask for the time being, and I will settle the score with you at the end. But today, all of you must donate money and materials, and no one can escape!"
"Yan Wenmao."
Yan Wenmao stood beside him, silent without saying a word.
He didn't say anything, but many pairs of eyes fell on him, quietly observing his expression, trying to analyze his attitude.
Hearing Luo Chuchu's call, he turned his head and met her crystal-clear eyes.
"His Majesty."
"If someone refuses to take out the money, then don't be polite to them." Luo Chuchu said with a sullen face.
Everything she did was to make the Luo Kingdom strong and win that chance of survival, but now someone has cut the territory of the Luo Kingdom severely, if the hole is not repaired in time, I'm afraid it will seriously hurt the vitality.
Hearing what Luo Chuchu said, Yan Wenmao didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
Just now he said such unfeeling words to him, but now he still asks him to help.Should he be grateful for Luo Chuchu's trust, or should he be resentful that she just treats him as a useful tool?
He didn't answer right away, but in everyone's eyes, that was the default.
The officials who were calm just now suddenly became commotion.
Luo Chuchu felt very ironic when he looked at the faces raised by gold and jade.
They obviously have so many things, but they still start with the supplies that the border depends on for survival.And now just asking them to donate a little silver is like cutting their flesh and blood.
"I am willing to donate two-thirds of the silver in my private treasury. If you lovers use hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver to perfuse me, you should know the consequences."
Luo Chuchu doesn't know how much money he has in his private treasury now, but Muxiang Pavilion is not only limited to the capital, but has begun to expand to other places, and the money he wants to earn should be enough.
Coupled with the money already in the private treasury, it will not be a small sum.Roughly estimated, there should be nearly 100 million taels.
These ministers Luo Chuchu didn't know their family background, but Yan Wenmao did.If he assists, at least a few hundred thousand taels of silver can be squeezed out.
According to the situation reported by Xinyang, the casualties of soldiers in the frontier are serious now, forcing him to drop everything and go to Beijing to ask for help.
Finally, the first minister came out: "I am willing to donate 3000 taels of silver."
Luo Chuchu nodded.
"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to donate silver, but it's a pity that I can't bring it with me..."
"Then keep an account. After you go back, someone will come to the mansion to ask you for it."
Then, driven by No.1, ministers stepped forward one after another.
Luo Chuchu relaxed a little at first, but frowned again after listening.
They are all 2000 taels and 3000 taels. If she hadn't set a "bottom line" of no less than 1000 taels, the ministers would even say outrageous numbers like a few hundred taels.
What a joke, don't think she doesn't know, those expensive decorations, calligraphy and paintings cost hundreds of thousands of silver, they will have no money?
After hearing "800 taels", Luo Chuchu couldn't bear it any longer. He held his breath in his chest, wishing he could use a big knife to chop off the heads of these thugs.
Although she really wanted to do this, her reason told her that she didn't have the capital to do so.
Shi Huaishan hadn't fully recovered yet, so he couldn't even participate in today's banquet.
So all she can rely on is...
Luo Chuchu bit her lip hard, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Wenmao's hand.
Yan Wenmao was held by her, silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he is willing to donate two-thirds of the silver in the private treasury. As ministers, you are not so stingy?"
The crowd was silent.
"One thousand eight hundred taels, you can say it?" Yan Wenmao sneered, "Then let people go and see if you are really so thrifty."
"Lord Yan!" The courtier trembled with cold sweat on his forehead, "Just now, just now, I made a mistake, it was 8000 taels, no, it was 8000 taels..."
They can ignore Luo Chuchu's threat, but Yan Wenmao's threat can't.He would really send someone to raid the house.
The ministers originally thought that even if Yan Wenmao was on Luo Chuchu's side, he would not directly express his attitude, because the money raised in this way would only make Xinyang remember Luo Chuchu's benefits, and would not benefit Yan Wenmao at all.
But unexpectedly, he would...
Wen Renyin, who had been silent all this time, recalled the rumors he had heard before, looked at the two of them cautiously, and finally fixed on the hands they were holding together.
Wen Renyin narrowed his eyes.
He had never believed that rumor before.
I have been against Yan Wenmao for many years, and I know what kind of person he is.So Wen Renyin is very sure that he will never have any feelings for Luo Chuchu.
But now it seems that his guess was wrong.
……
"Xinyang, do you think this much is enough?"
When the last person donated money again and was "escorted" by the guards to leave, Luo Chuchu sat on the seat wearily.
Dealing with this group of people is really tiring.
Xinyang took the account book, nodded after calculation, and said, "These are enough, but the general wants to purchase supplies himself in the end."
This is not trusting other people.
