Donate money?

Zhu Youjian was stunned. Is this really asking him to donate money?

He looked at the little eunuch in front of him nervously and couldn't help but said: "How much do you donate?"

"It depends on King Xin himself!"

The little eunuch said politely: "The emperor has said that now that the victims of the disaster have gathered, the emperor still hopes that the ministers of the court, civil and military officials can donate some!"

Having said this, the young eunuch continued: "Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji (father of Queen Zhang) donated two thousand taels of silver!"

Zhu Youjian was stunned, and then slowly said: "Okay, I understand!"

Two thousand taels of silver!

Zhu Youjian also felt pain in his head.

Where did he get so much money?

In comparison, Zhu Youjian is still not as good as Zhang Guoji. After all, Zhang Guoji is a relative, and he has built a factory in the past two years relying on Queen Zhang's relationship.

Others produce fabrics, but Zhang Guoji specializes in the production of looms.

When a loom is sold, the net profit will be two cents.

Two thousand taels of silver, just 20 million.

Zhang Guoji doesn't care about this little money.

Now Zhang Guoji is also a member of Zhang Haogu's party, thinking about how to make money every day.

Zhu Youjian was also very helpless.

Basically all the money he had in hand was given to Yinzhang Academy, saying that it would be used to expand Yinzhang Academy. Once the money was taken out, Zhu Youjian himself was immediately stretched.

At this moment, if you ask him to donate money, where will he get so much money?

For a moment, Zhu Youjian also felt extremely anxious.

Others have taken the money, but if I, the King of Trust, don’t take the money out, if people find out, won’t I be laughed at?

Zhu Youjian was really worried, and Princess Xin and Queen Zhou on the side also saw it.

Facing his wife, Zhu Youjian couldn't hide it, saying that he donated all the money to Yinzhang Academy.

Queen Zhou was also shocked. If you don't keep this good money at home, why would you donate it?

Zhu Youjian also had a helpless smile: "I just think that Mr. Lu speaks very nicely, and what he says is true. Now the emperor is going against the grain. This new policy is tyranny, and has plunged all the people in the world into misery.

Among the people, a desire for comparison and extravagance has arisen in the hearts of the people. If things continue like this, how can the country achieve long-term peace and stability?"

Queen Zhou thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will go find my father!"

The father of Queen Zhou was Zhou Kui, who was also the future first relative of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

However, Zhou Kui was a miser. Later, when Li Zicheng wanted to invade the capital, Zhu Youjian went around asking for donations, and he also asked for donations from his own father-in-law. He hoped that Zhou Kui could take the lead in donating money, and sent eunuch Xu Gao to persuade him through hard work.

For a long time, he reluctantly said that he would donate 10,000 taels. Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was too little and ordered him to donate 20,000 taels. Zhou Kui began to be petty again and asked his daughter, Queen Zhou, for help.

Empress Zhou felt that it was quite embarrassing to have such a father, but she had no choice but to give 5,000 taels of personal savings as a subsidy to her father Zhou Kui. However, she never expected that Zhou Kui deducted 2,000 taels from the 5,000 taels and only handed it over.

For 3,000 taels, he is really a master at plucking the feathers of wild geese.

Under Zhou Kui's "good" leadership, civil and military officials, relatives, and eunuchs began to pretend to be poor.

The father-in-law only donated so much, so why should I donate?

That is to say, a very small number of eunuchs, such as Cao Huachun and others, donated 30,000 to 50,000 taels, while most of the others donated tens or hundreds of thousands. The final donation amount was only 200,000 taels. Zhu Youjian relied on donations from ministers to solve the problem of lack of military pay.

The calculation was in vain.

Of course, there are reasons why people don’t dare to donate.

First, this money was earned through hard work and hard work. If you ask us to donate, just ask us to donate. What does this mean?

Second, even if I donated all the money for the sake of the country and the Ming Dynasty, what if Zhu Youjian looked back and said, "Hey, you are so rich, so why don't you just kill the donkey?"

?You don’t do this just once or twice.

Therefore, everyone would rather let Li Zicheng attack the capital, be tortured one by one by Li Zicheng, and forcibly extract the money from the family, rather than donate it to Zhu Youjian.

And now.

Zhu Youxiao basically has mastered the "big data". He basically knows who has money in his family, and he can just calculate the money to raise money. The second thing is, how much land does your family have, what business you do, etc.

All should be reported to the court.

If you don't report it, you will be considered corrupt.

The Dog Emperor is staring at you. If you don’t donate money honestly and don’t donate enough, it is inevitable that he will write down a little black book for you.

The difference between Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian is that Zhu Youxiao will never do anything like that. Secondly, he is more willing to take the blame.

Queen Zhou obviously knew her father's temper and wanted her father to take out the money, which was absolutely impossible. Therefore, Queen Zhou still took out a lot of her jewelry and gave it to her father, hoping that

I can sell my father to make some money.

Queen Zhou wanted to go to a pawn shop herself, but even if her daughter went to a pawn shop, she would be easily deceived.

In this case, you can only trust your father.

Although my father is stingy, I am a father who can’t let his daughter be cheated, right?

However, when Zhou Kui came to the door with two hundred taels of silver, Queen Zhou was still dumbfounded, and Zhu Youjian was also dumbfounded.

On the one hand, Zhu Youjian was moved by what Queen Zhou did and sold her jewelry to help him overcome the current difficulties. However, on the other hand, he was also shocked by the shamelessness of his father-in-law Zhou Kui.

Too shameless 1

Two hundred taels of silver, you are a fool.

Although Prince Xin's palace is not big, the things in his hands are all rich things. How come they turned into two hundred taels when they arrived at Zhou Kui's place? How much money did this bastard embezzle?

Zhou Kui said shamelessly: "Your Highness, that's all. If you don't believe me, you can ask the pawn shop. Really, that's all!"

Zhu Youjian wanted to be angry, wanted to be angry, but for a moment, he didn't know how to get angry. He looked at Zhou Kui in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law!"

"No hard work, no hard work!" Zhou Kuitian said shamelessly: "His Royal Highness, King Xin, you are tired from all your busy work. Can you have dinner at King Xin's Mansion tonight?"

"Fuck!"
