Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 25 Chapter 25, Zhu Cihong wants to search, Emperor Chongzhen is a little hesitant
Looking at the fainted Zhou Kui, Zhu Cilang shrugged his shoulders, and said to the many guards of the Zhou family who were detained beside him: "You have also seen that he fainted himself, and it has nothing to do with me. Alright, hurry up and take the head of the country back to the doctor for proper treatment, otherwise something will happen if it is too late."

Watching this scene, the guards of the Zhou family didn't dare to fart, and they were about to leave with Zhou Kui on their shoulders in desperation.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Cihong suddenly said, "Stop!"

All the guards of the Zhou family stood up straight in an instant, almost throwing Zhou Kui behind.

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Fang Gong, go and order 1000 taels of silver and give it to them to take away, so as not to let others hear it and say that what I say doesn't count."

Didn’t Zhou Kui’s previous letter of commitment say that if more than 1000 taels of cash or treasures were handed over to the state treasury, Zhu Cihong is a very trustworthy person!
Seeing the guards of the Zhou family carrying Zhou Kui away with 1000 taels of silver, and seeing the fans of the Dongchang carrying out large boxes full of treasures one after another, Zhu Cihong was also full of joy.

This feeling of taking other people's money is really cool.

Frankly speaking, this kind of approach is actually a bit immoral, but... Daming in my palace is about to die, why do you care so much at this time?Let's survive first.

Those who know each other and hand over money will naturally have more benefits in return in the future, and those who don't know acquaintances like Zhou Guozhang can only be used as chickens to kill those monkeys who are not alert.

At this moment, a loud sound suddenly came from afar.

Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: "This is the Chuang army attacking the city again."

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong's good mood just now dissipated a lot.

Although the British Duke and others are in charge, the British Duke is not the kind of famous general. No matter how loyal he is, he can only support him for a few more days at best.

If you want to save yourself, you have to mobilize the common people in Beijing and recruit more soldiers to form a larger army.

In that case, no money is absolutely impossible.

Still have to hurry up and make money!

At this moment, the system's voice sounded: "Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining 47 taels of silver from Zhou Kui's home. Now a total of 71 taels of silver have been seized. Please continue to work hard. There are still 35 hours left."

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he said, "Good guy, this system only counts cash?"It seems that this mission is also a bit difficult.

Zhu Cihong turned his gaze, and said to Fang Gong: "Look here, all the belongings must be returned to the palace as soon as possible. Then get me a box of the most decent treasures. Now I want to go back to the palace." The palace went to see the father and mother."

Time is waiting for me.

Half an hour later, Zhu Cihong returned to the palace and met Chongzhen and Empress Zhou.

Empress Zhou hurriedly asked, "Did you get the money?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and nodded.

Chongzhen said: "Is Mr. Zhou all right?"

Zhu Cihong's face was serious, and he said solemnly to Chongzhen: "Father, my son is not the kind of person who fights and kills."

Chongzhen: "..."

Did co-authors Du Xun and Liu Zongmin commit suicide?
Zhu Cilang didn't care about Chongzhen, and waved his hand directly: "Come on, carry the box up!"

Zhu Cihong opened the box himself, and in an instant, a golden light shone from inside.

Chongzhen was taken aback, and stood up straight away. He didn't see any movement of the Ming emperor, but he was seen appearing next to the treasure chest in an instant.

"This, this is..." Seeing all kinds of treasures in the box, Chongzhen was a little knotted in his speech.

Seeing Chongzhen's excited appearance, Zhu Cihong felt a little sympathetic.

The emperor of other people's family was drunk with delicacies from mountains and seas, but Chongzhen was lucky, he was diligent in political affairs every day, worked hard and plain, and finally wiped out the country of Daming.

The emperor's water is very deep, father, you can't grasp it!

Queen Zhou also came over, looked at the treasures in the box, and said in surprise: "Did these all come from my father..."

Zhu Cilang nodded, and said slowly: "Mother, there are at least a hundred boxes like this in the king's warehouse."

Chongzhen and Queen Zhou: "!!!"

Chongzhen's tone trembled when he spoke: "So much?"

Zhu Cihong chuckled, and said, "A lot? To tell you the truth, the king of the country has only had the opportunity to make money since you came to the throne. Like some aristocratic families in the capital, the jewels in the warehouse are probably several times more than the head of the country. Double it!"

Zhu Cilang is not talking nonsense on this point, but has a treasure map provided by the system in his mind.

Chongzhen was silent.

At this moment, Chongzhen felt a little cold, his heart was so cold.

Originally thought that the Ming treasury was out of money, and the officials should and indeed were out of money.

But he never expected that many low-level officials are indeed extremely poor, but those real top-level ministers still have such huge wealth!
Empress Zhou's expression also changed, and after a long time she sighed: "Unexpectedly, the Zhou family is secretly stealing people's money like this. Your Majesty, please punish the Zhou family!"

It took a lot of courage for Queen Zhou to say this.

After all, that was her natal family!

Zhu Cilang waved his hand and said: "My queen, now is not the time to talk about this. Zhou's money has all been brought into the national treasury now, even if they have made atonement."

Zhu Cixiang also had an idea when he said this.

Money can be taken, but it is a bit too much to punish people after taking money. Isn't this forcing others to rebel?
You know, there is still Li Zicheng's army outside the city.

Zhu Cihong said to Chongzhen again: "Father, the most important thing right now is to distribute all the money first, to settle the arrears of salary, and to recruit soldiers and horses, all of which must be carried out immediately. Besides, We still need more money, so that we can further recruit more soldiers and horses to defend Beijing and repel Li Zicheng!"

Chongzhen raised his head in a daze: "Do you want more money?"

Zhu Cilang said: "That's natural, what's the point of this? The combined total of Guo Zhang and Cao Huachun is only a few hundred thousand, which is far from the 300 million that the British Duke said yesterday."

Zhu Cihong's main purpose is to complete the task. In this case, the system is undoubtedly the most reliable.

Chongzhen was silent for a long time and said, "But... what should we do next?"

Zhu Cihong grinned: "Does my father trust my son? If I believe it, I just need to give my son a decree and let my son have full power to deal with this matter. I can guarantee that my father will definitely get enough money before sunset tomorrow." Money, and an army strong enough to defend the capital!"

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong.

In Chongzhen's eyes, what he saw was a young man's face, which was very similar to the former Chongzhen.

But the difference is that in the eyes of this young man, there is a sea of ​​stars that Chongzhen never had!
Chongzhen suddenly felt that he seemed... really old.

Chongzhen sighed, and said slowly: "Wang Chengen, have you heard what the crown prince said? Let's go to draw up the decree."
