Chapter 217 You Know That These Ministers Are Rich
Although Du Chenyu didn't say it clearly, all civil and military officials knew what he meant.

Many ministers were complaining in their hearts, the new emperor had not been enthroned for a few months, and he hadn't received much money, and now he had to extract money from them, didn't it mean that Shang Zuo said a few more words to his beloved Concubine Jin , It is too difficult for them to punish them like this!

Huangfu Mohan crossed his arms and stared at the group of ministers below, he couldn't help but groan in his heart, after this incident, who would dare to talk about his woman again?
He has no other skills, but he has his own way of meddling in his own affairs, and when it comes to his own interests, he thinks it has nothing to do with him, so he hangs up?Oh, what a beauty!

All the people below lowered their heads, not daring to speak, they could only grit their silver teeth secretly and swallowed it into their stomachs. I don't know who it is, they will still be out of sight and out of mind when they encounter Concubine Jin in the future, so shut up.

When there was complete silence, Ma Zhenhua, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, who had been dismissed by Huangfu Mohan before and made an exception to let him attend the banquet at home, stood up.

"Your Majesty, there is no small matter at the border. Since the concubine Jin has come up with a way to improve it, I am willing to do my best to help the soldiers at the border to resist the severe cold. I will take out 1 taels of silver to pay for it." Make up your mind!"

Everyone never expected that the first one to stand up was Sanpin Shuntian Fu Yin. Some people remembered him when they saw him. A while ago, he was wronged by the emperor and he was not in office for the time being. He wanted to borrow This incident allowed the emperor to restore his rights and official positions?
No, this is not what they care about. The key is that he, a third-rank official, has given out 1 taels of silver, so how much must he give out for the second-rank and first-rank officials to keep people from talking?
"Okay! Ma Aiqing is a noble character, very suitable for my heart. I will give you the title of 'Generous and Righteous Man' in the future, and hang it on your mansion, so that everyone at the border will praise Ma Aiqing's merits!"

Ma Zhenhua wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself, nothing else matters, the key is that the emperor should remember to resume his official position as a humble minister.

As soon as Huangfu Mo Han finished speaking, Du Chenyu also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my sister came up with this idea, and this brother, I must fully support you. I am willing to give you 5 taels of silver, just for the sake of it." Frontier soldiers can withstand the severe cold and guard the country wholeheartedly!"

"Okay! Aiqing is worthy of being my brother-in-law. It's my good fortune to be so insightful. A fifth-rank bachelor has really wronged you. From now on, Du Aiqing will be promoted to a first-rank palace scholar, and she will share my worries nearby!"

These words made all the ministers envious and heartbroken. Du Chenyu seemed to have paid 5 taels, but 5 taels can also be regarded as buying the official position of a first-rank university scholar, which is really not a loss.

I don't know how much they paid to get the emperor's respect, and to give them the fat and vacancies in the court?

Forget it, let's go out as soon as you come out, the more you come out, the more valued you will be by the emperor.

The officials all gritted their teeth and stepped forward to share the money. The Tai Tuo first paid out 6 taels, and after being praised by Huangfu Mohan, the rest of the first-rank and second-rank officials all fluctuated between 4 and taels of silver.

Officials of the third rank and below are between tens of taels and 1 taels of silver. Most officials pay silver according to their official positions and their own circumstances. Ten thousand taels of silver, Sipin Tingwei gave out 1 taels of silver.

This money is not directly proportional to their usual salaries, but they are not considered generous and wealthy people on weekdays, and they are also considered a typical noble family. Huangfu Mohan admired these two people very much.

Usually he kept silent, but if something happened, it was true. Huangfu Mohan thought about it for a while, and immediately promoted the two of them to official positions, and arranged for them to inspect the local officials.

All the officials in the capital were bleeding, so the magistrate had to express it. He who took the initiative to give the money is naturally safe and sound. If he kept it hidden, he didn't mind having someone check it out.

The officials just handed over the white slips now, and they will bring the money when they go to court tomorrow. Huangfu Mohan saw that all the civil and military officials had handed over the money, and then let them go home with a big wave of his hand.

The officials dragged their exhausted, hungry and cold bodies and took their families away from the palace as if they were about to receive an amnesty.

Looking at the pile of white notes, Huangfu Mohan smiled and pushed these white notes to Du Jinyi, "See if the money is enough?"

Du Jinyi laughed, "It must be enough, there should be more, I just did a little calculation, and the money paid by the ministers of the first and second ranks alone is enough to make this batch of clothes and quilts. The silver taels that the country needs to carry are almost enough."

Huangfu Mohan chuckled lightly, "There is no need to worry about the silver used as an envoy to the Kingdom of Liang. When the Prince Regent and Leng's family were seized, there were more than three million taels of silver. All the money was transferred by them in advance."

Du Jinyi stared at him blankly, and said joyfully and with surprise, "Ah, why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm worrying about you for nothing, if I knew it earlier, I would have cheated you of more money."

Huangfu Mohan wrapped her arms around her waist and let her sit in his arms, laughing loudly, "It's not too late, you can spend all the money as you want."

Du Jin realized something, touched his hot Adam's apple and asked him, "In addition to confiscating the money from the regent and Leng's family, there should be more. Your property and fields are all over the Zhu country, and you have to support so many people. There must be more money." !"

Huangfu Mohan held Du Jinyi's face and kissed him, "I know that I can't hide anything from you. This is my jade order. With it, you can go to Donghui Bank to find out how much money I have. There should be another one." More than 100 million taels."

Du Jinyi took a jade card from Huangfu Mohan and nodded, "Okay, if I have time, I'll help you see how much money you have in your family, and help you take care of it. But you are really bad enough. If you have too much money, you have to embarrass those ministers."

Huangfu Mohan laughed, "The soldiers at the border guarding the country are not protecting me alone. Why don't they pay money? They have money to raise concubines to raise illegitimate children, and there are women who are free to take care of me. Isn't it right to oppress them? .”

Du Jinyi thinks this is reasonable. As the parents and officials of the common people, they should consider the people's livelihood. The border soldiers are also the people of Zhu State, so they should pay for the border soldiers to keep them warm.

Without saying any more, she took out the account book and recorded all the money paid by the ministers in Ce, and then used a brush to list the formulas.

Huangfu Mohan looked very curious, "What kind of algorithm is this, I have never seen it in my life, and the master has never taught me."

Du Jinyi wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain. He just said vaguely, "I don't know, I know this kind of algorithm when I can read numbers."

Huangfu Mohan looked at the numbers she listed on the paper, and couldn't help but praise casually, "You're talented."

With a puff, Du Jinyi couldn't hold back his laughter.

After some calculations, Du Jinyi laughed after looking at the numbers that he had calculated repeatedly, "It's a little over 53 taels in total, and it really has the money to go to Liang as an envoy."

Huangfu Mohan's eyes flickered slightly, "I know these ministers are rich!"
