I, son of Beiliang, start the game with ten times the power of Lu Bu

"Xu Xiang, this, the national treasury is in trouble, and I know it, but we can't leave the refugees alone, right? Is it what we adults should do to drive them to the eastern suburbs and let them fend for themselves? Also, Is there no way to raise money?"

When Su Beichen heard this, he just remembered that Jia Xu also told you that the household department is really poor.

"Da Sima, there is really no good way. The old minister also approached the bosses of the major chambers of commerce in the imperial capital to solicit donations from them, but no one responded to me, an old man. Also, I proposed to solicit donations from the civil and military officials in the court. , but everyone said they had no money.”

Xu Bin is throwing the pot away.

"insidious!"

"mean!"

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Xu Bin viciously, wishing to eat him alive, and called out: Lao Yin B.

What do you call fundraising? Everyone says they have no money?

Didn't this tell Su Beichen that they are stingy and unwilling to donate money to the court to help the victims?

According to Su Beichen's urination, can they have good fruit to eat?

Chapter 98 Disaster Relief Fundraising, Zhang Jinwen Donates Ten Thousand Taels of Silver

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, I ask you, is what Prime Minister Xu said true?"

How could Su Beichen not understand what Xu Bin's plan was.

Such a good Xu Bin, worthy of being an old fox, let him be the villain, soliciting money and food from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

It is said to be a donation, but in fact it is not for him to rob.

However, he did not punish the old fox, because doing so would benefit both the court and the refugees.

There is no way, money is needed to relieve the victims.

"Da Sima, this is a slander, a frame. His ambition is to sow discord between us and Da Sima. Da Sima, we did not say that we are unwilling to donate, but our salary is limited, and we really don't have the extra ability to donate." come out."

Zhang Jinwen, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately defended himself.

Now he can't wait to beat Xu Bin, an old bastard, a thousand times.

"Zhang Shangshu, don't worry. I'm not an unreasonable person. Since you say you don't have money, it's fine. I ask Jin Yiwei to investigate and investigate. Maybe I can give you a reputation as an upright official."

Su Beichen said softly.

"What? Ask Jin Yiwei to investigate? What should we do now? Who doesn't know that Jin Yiwei has a dog's nose and penetrates every corner. If you let them investigate, you may be able to expose yourself. No, you can't ask Jin Yiwei to investigate, otherwise , I'm done."

Zhang Jinwen panicked when he heard this.

Let me ask, which of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty has no black history.

Making money, corruption is the norm, not only these, but also other dirty things that are not visible to the public. No official can stand the investigation of Jin Yiwei.

"Da Sima, I have something to say."

He immediately changed his tune.

"Oh, Zhang Shangshu, please tell me, I and all the adults present are listening."

Su Beichen narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully.

He understood that Zhang Jinwen was going to give in.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Jinwen has been an official for no less than [-] years. If his butt was clean, he would not be able to sit in the position of Minister.

After all, this imperial court is a big dye vat, and clean people can't get mixed up in it.

In this court, there is no absolute black and white, some are just power games between various forces, so it is very important to stand in line.

"Da Sima, I would like to donate 500 taels, no, 1000 taels to help the victims."

Zhang Jinwen gritted his teeth and said.

"1000 taels? Zhang Shangshu, it seems that you are really in trouble. Anyway, I will let Jin Yiwei go to your house to publicize your integrity."

Su Beichen said empathetically.

"Where is Jin Yiwei?"

he called.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Outside the Zhangtai Palace, a group of Jinyi guards came in. They were dressed in flying fish suits and held embroidered spring knives. They were majestic and imposing.

"Meet the Lord!"

"Oh my god! This is a Hongmen banquet today. Damn Xu Bin, he made it up. This old bastard, meddling in other people's business, has tricked us all."

Someone stared at Xu Bin angrily, wishing to tear him into pieces.

There were also people looking at Zhang Jinwen to see how he would make a choice.

They all understand that it is impossible to escape without some blood today.

Su Beichen, who was sitting in the main hall, was not Xu Bin, an old fox, but just talking. If their donations did not satisfy him, the result might be death.

"Da Sima, minister, this, minister is willing to sell the pot and sell the iron, and donate 5000 taels."

Zhang Jinwen gritted his teeth and said.

"Zhang Shangshu, don't be so stingy, I'm in charge of it for you. As the Minister of the Ministry of War in Daliang, you can't be stingy, I will allow you to pledge 1 taels of silver."

With one sentence, Su Beichen blocked all the words that Zhang Jinwen was about to decline.

"what--"

Zhang Jinwen was surprised.

1 taels, oh my god, this is his entire net worth now. Although he is not clean as the Minister of the Ministry of War, he really doesn't have much savings. He is a timid person who dare not be greedy.

It's just that during the holidays, some benefits are collected when the subordinates are promoted, and I don't have the guts to get involved in other money.

"What? Zhang Shangshu, is there a problem?"

Su Beichen asked with a wicked smile.

"Da Sima, for the sake of the refugees, I am willing to pledge donations."

Zhang Jinwen could only admit the matter with a wry smile.

Now, I can only swallow this dumb thing in my stomach, and at the same time, I keep comforting myself: the money spent to eliminate disasters will allow Su Beichen not to pursue his other crimes, and the money is worth it.

"Okay! Come here, register for this palace, and Zhang Shangshu pledged 1 taels."

Su Beichen said happily.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Bin again.

"Prime Minister Xu, as the head of a hundred officials, how much do you plan to pledge?"

He aimed at Xu Bin again.

"Da Sima, the veteran doesn't have much wealth, but he is willing to pledge 800 taels."

Xu Bin said without any hesitation.

"Prime Minister Xu, I understand your difficulties, how about this, I specifically allow you to pledge 100 taels."

Su Beichen blocked it, and he did not allow Xu Bin to pledge 800 taels.

Xun Yu led troops to the prime minister's mansion before, and afterwards, he also knew that Xu Bin was a rare and honest official. Not long ago, he even sold the only real estate in his family to quietly relieve the disaster.

It was also this matter that made him respect the prime minister even more. Although he was an opponent, the other party was also a good official who really wanted to do things for Daliang.

Now asking Xu Bin to donate 800 taels, even though he has a hard heart, he can't bear it.

"Da Sima, although the truth is that life is more difficult, but compared to those refugees, there is no need to worry about food and drink. The 800 taels is my heart, and I hope that more refugees can have food."

Xu Bin shook his head and rejected Su Beichen's kindness.

As the head of the officials, he must set an example, otherwise, how can he lead the officials.

"it is good!"

"Xu Xiang is worthy of being a loyal and brave minister of our Great Liang. This palace admires me. Come, please note that Xu Xiang pledged 800 taels."

Su Beichen said approvingly.

Since his rebirth and return, few people can catch his eyes.

Now it's no more than three and a half.

[White Lotus Sect] Yuan Aotian was the first person he admired.

This person is a hero who "pleads for the people". Although such a person is his enemy, he deserves his admiration.

The second one is Zhao Yingjie, [The First Righteous Man in Daliang].

For the sake of justice in the world, he is not afraid of personal honor and disgrace, speaks uprightly, and would rather die than submit. Although he is a frail scholar, this kind of integrity makes him feel inferior.

Today, Xu Bin can be called the third person.

Although this person is a very powerful official in the city, he is dedicated to being the leader and the world, regardless of personal gains and losses. Although his reputation is lacking, this loyalty makes him extremely admired.

As for the last [half].

This person is the [King of Zhenbei] Yu Wenlin who dominates the northern border. Although he is not very familiar with this person, it is remarkable that this person has been able to resist the frontal invasion of the Huns in the [Northern Border] for ten years. characters.

"Da Sima, I have something to say."

Pei Ji, the newly promoted Dai Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, suddenly spoke.

"Pei Ji, what do you want to say?"

Su Beichen asked.

"Da Sima, I am willing to pledge 2 taels to help the victims."

Pei Ji is a smart person.

He understands very well that the imperial court now needs all officials to donate money for disaster relief, and this time is also the best time for him to show his loyalty to Su Beichen.

Maybe if he behaved well, the word [代] can be removed soon.

"Okay! Pei Ji, I am very happy that you have such an awareness. Do things well, I am optimistic about you."

Hearing this, Su Beichen couldn't help nodding his head in praise.

He didn't expect that this Pei Ji was so upright, and it was not in vain that he just broke the rules and promoted him to be the Daishangshu of the Ministry of Officials. He is a good seedling worth cultivating.

"Come on, please note that Pei Shiji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, pledged 2 taels."

"Da Sima, I am willing to pledge 5000 taels to help the victims."

An official from the Ministry of Rites also stood up and pledged donations.

"My Nanping Houfu pledged 20 taels to help the victims."

Chapter 99 Nanping Marquis Mansion, the Yang Family Donated 50 Silver

"Nanping Marquis Mansion?"

On the high platform, Su Beichen looked at the military officer who had just appeared in astonishment. He seemed to be a Colonel Yingyang.

But what about the Nanping Hou Mansion?

He had never heard of it.

I was worried for a while.

"Su Beichen, the Marquis of Nanping was the title granted by Emperor Zhaolie. This Emperor Zhaolie was the father of Emperor Mingde. The first Marquis of Nanping was a warrior who followed Emperor Zhaolie in the southern and northern wars. Later, Emperor Zhaolie general My daughter, Princess Changle, married Nanpinghou, so speaking of it, this Nanpinghoufu is also a relative of the emperor. However, after two generations, the current Nanpinghoufu has no backing and has gradually declined."

Seeing Su Beichen's expression, Yang Lihua knew that Su Beichen might not know the origin of the Nanping Marquis Mansion, so she quietly explained to him.

"This, is it friend or foe?"

Su Beichen asked in a low voice.

"A declining Marquis Mansion doesn't have much energy. Whether he is a friend or an enemy depends on how our chief Sima makes his choice?"

Yang Lihua said.
