-    < >-: The orthodox emperor summoned Chen Xu. He said three things in total. First, the court needed money, a lot of silver, at least 1.8 million taels; second, the court had no money and could hardly make ends meet; third, the household  The whole army was at a loss. If Chen Xu didn't have a perfect plan, he could only order the royal guards and Tiqi to go out in all directions to collect enough silver at all costs. The emperor never mentioned that Chen Xu "plundered" one million silver from the Marquis of Jianning. Such a huge sum of money,  How could the emperor not know?  He did not explain this matter, either because he wanted Chen Xu to contribute it himself, or he had already put the money into the national treasury - the emperor is rich in the world, and since this money is not private, it belongs to the country, and it belongs to him - salary money  The shortfall was only 800,000 taels. Jin Lian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, glanced at Chen Xu with a low eyebrow. The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the world's money and food affairs, but he had to entrust the young Minister of the Ministry of War to handle his duties. How could he feel so embarrassed?  Master Jin's face was hot, and he even planned to take the blame and resign. Of course, Master Jin would not do this. The national crisis is at hand, and when he is serving the country and being loyal to His Majesty, if Mr. Xiao Chen really has the means, he will definitely reject the criticism and do his best.  As for whether Chen Xu can help, Jin Lian is not optimistic. Is he really going to tax the people violently?  Chen Xu looked up at the orthodox emperor and then at Eunuch Chang who was beside Emperor Gongli. He said: "Your Majesty, I have raised one million taels, and the remaining 800,000 taels, Rong Chen will think of a way." Since the previous life  , Chen Xu understands a truth, money is earned, not saved. Even if you are frugal enough to squat in a large bed without using toilet paper and fingers, how much money can you save?  Earning money without limit, spending money without counting, this is the realm of a man. Now that he has the power, with the backing of the entire country, a mere 1.8 million taels of silver has to be spent. Chen Xu himself looks down on himself. Furthermore,  The border town is the gateway to the Yan Dynasty. If there is any delay, the enemy will take advantage of it. Once the border town is lost, the Oala cavalry will go straight to the capital. The border town has insufficient troops to resist first. Although this day will come sooner or later, at least it cannot be done now.  Using 1.8 million taels of silver to gain at least one month of preparation time, this deal is a sure profit. "Chen Shangshu has raised one million taels of silver?" Jin Lian didn't know about Chen Xu and Jianning Hou yet, so he was pleasantly surprised.  , One million silver has been obtained, is the remaining 800,000 far away?  "Master Chen, where did this money come from?" The orthodox emperor smiled and said nothing. Chen Xu scratched his head and said: "The methods of roosters and dog thieves are not worth mentioning." Jin Lian: "" The orthodox emperor was stunned by Chen Xu's expression.  He was so amused that he laughed out loud. He believed that Chen Xu's pressure was definitely higher than his due to internal and external troubles. However, this boy was able to enjoy hardships. This was definitely a skill. The orthodox emperor recalled the teachings of the late emperor: He who has thunder in his heart but a flat lake in his face.  , but I paid homage to the general. I remember when the Oala cavalry chased and intercepted him, Chen Xu was chatting and laughing as usual. Isn't he exactly such a person?  Thinking of this, the orthodox emperor became more and more grateful for his original decision. Having this son in Dayan was not only a blessing to the people but also a blessing to Sirou. Without the emperor's sister, he really didn't know what to reward him in the future. "Master Jin, the most important thing right now is to raise the rest."  Eight hundred thousand taels, of course, the silver we need to raise is definitely more than 800,000 taels, at least five million." Jin Lian couldn't help but gasped. Five million silver, at least?  "Master Chen, the income of Taicang's court this year is only 3.3 million taels. If we charge an additional 5 million taels, I am afraid that the people will not be able to afford it and trigger a civil uprising." 3.3 million?  Chen Xu didn't expect that Marquis Jianning could easily take out one million silver. Whether this was a drop in the bucket, Chen Xu didn't know, but one thing is certain, his family's silver must be several million.  Two, a mere prince is as rich as anyone in the country. How did he get this money?  Of course there will not only be one Marquis of Jianning in the imperial court, relatives of the emperor, princes and ministers. If this is their legitimate income, that¡¯s it. The key point is that the source of their money will never be clean. With so many moths, how can the imperial court not be impoverished?  Weak?  Chen Xu raised his head and looked at the orthodox emperor. Even though he was an idiot in finance, he probably knew the tricks in this. The only possibility that the emperor turned a blind eye was that he couldn't touch those people. The emperor was powerless, so what could he, a young boy, do?  How could Chen Xu not understand the sonorous, powerful and deafening speech made by the respectable old man in later generations when he was angry: Anti-corruption means fighting tigers first and then wolves. We must not tolerate tigers and cultivate traitors. One of the hundred coffins prepared is mine.  It's nothing more than a common death Chen Xu can't be so fearless. He just wants to live and let his mother and wives live a good life. Solving the financial crisis of the imperial court is tantamount to a major social change. Throughout the ages, reformers have not  What a good end, Shang Yang carried out the Reform and was brutally dismembered by five horses; Wang Anshi dismissed the Prime Minister twice and carried out the Reform of 1898, and the Six Gentlemen died in a well-deserved death, so happy The bloody lessons of the sages, how could Chen Xu make such a "mistake"? If you take a step back and think about it, this is enough to make others fall into pieces.  The bag is a golden mountain, at least?It can prove that the imperial court can plunder a lot of powerful people. Boil the frogs in warm water and let them serve the naan generously willingly. This is the real ability to deal with the crisis at hand. His mission is completed. As for the return of principal and interest on the national debt, then  Let others have a headache. "Master Jin, where are the more than three million taels of silver?" "Hua" Jin Lian glanced at the emperor. There were more than 200,000 soldiers, troops, equipment and huge pensions. A mere three million taels.  Can't you hear the water floating?  Of course, this cannot be said in front of the orthodox emperor. The emperor went on a personal expedition and lost so hard that he almost took off his underwear. Saying it is a slap in the emperor's face. Chen Xu: "" "Master Chen, do you have any good ideas?" "Issuing national bonds  "When Chen Xu thought about it, this was the only way to do it without disturbing the people. Chen Xu roughly explained the ins and outs of the national debt. Jin Lian was shocked when he heard this. He kowtowed to the orthodox emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the court borrows debts from its subjects. How can the court lose its face?  Since ancient times, no dynasty has ever done something so ridiculous" Chen Xu looked at Jin Lian with some dissatisfaction and said, "Master Jin, how can this be considered ridiculous? Is there any other way?  The people are already miserable by imposing heavy taxes. You have the heart to force them to become homeless and sell their children and daughters?¡± Jin Lian was silent for a while, ¡°Master Chen, don¡¯t you call the national debt also requiring the people to contribute money?¡± ¡°If the people have enough money?  , Of course, they can contribute to the court. I think most of them should be on the rich." "The rich are rich, and they must be powerful if they have money. Is it wrong to want them to spend money to buy national debt that they have never heard of?  Not unrealistic?  Jin Lian looked at Chen Xu, and he figured out the key to the problem. Chen Xu smiled slightly, "How can I know it won't work if I haven't tried it?" Jin Lian was speechless. He really didn't know whether the young man in front of him had a perfect plan or he was blindly conceited.  "Chen Xu, let go and do what you want." The orthodox emperor made the final decision. He looked at Jin Lian again, hoping that he could provide Chen Xu with the help he could. The emperor is the superior. Although the leader speaks tactfully, Lord Jin cannot be tactful.  Listen, he knew that the emperor wanted him to be Chen Xu's deputy. At such a young age, Lord Jin had to be overpowered by a young boy. Frankly speaking, he was quite unconvinced. Jin Lian did have the air of a gentleman.  But based on Chen Xu's words that he didn't want to increase the burden on the people, he would not make trouble secretly. As for whether Chen Xu could raise the money, he would wait and see. Chen Xu resigned. After taking only two steps, the orthodox emperor said, "You take the time to see  Looking at Sirou, I heard that she is not in a good mood." "I obey the order." After walking out of the imperial study, Chen Xu went straight to Princess Sirou's residence. Sirou wore a sky blue cross-collar vest with a plum blossom pattern embroidered on the collar.  It complements the moon-white round-neck midriff; she wears a long white skirt with a sky-blue belt. She looks elegant and chic. When Chen Xu entered, she was sitting in front of the desk writing something. Chen Xu stopped the palace maid from reporting, and he quietly  She walked up to Sirou and covered her eyes. "Little princess, guess who I am." How could Sirou not know Chen Xu's breath? She opened Chen Xu's hands that were covering her eyes, turned her face and used her black  Her eyes stared at him, looking at grievances, resentments, guilt, and self-blame. Chen Xu felt that his heartstrings were touched. It was hard for him to believe that a girl under the age of fifteen could have such heartbreaking eyes. "Sirou, let me see  "Look at what you are writing?" Chen Xu tried to dilute the sentimentality in his heart, but the more he read, the more sad he became: Sirou was transcribing, the excerpt of "Seven Fairies' Private Consort Dong Yong" was dictated by Chen Xu, and was written by Princess Sirou, and she polished it over and over again.  Revised and transcribed with Cao Xueqin's energy, which has been written and read for ten years and added and deleted five times. In the past, Princess Sirou loved the section "Ten Days Sunshine Yao Ji" and cried every time she read it; now she likes Seven Fairies and Eight Fairies, Thinking of the Lower World.  , I cry every time I read it. Chen Xu stared at the tear-stained paper in front of him. He was a little embarrassed. Why did he tell her such sensational things in the first place?  If I had known earlier, I would have told her?  "Ms. sir, I'm sorry," Sirou suddenly said. Chen Xu forced a smile. He picked up Sirou and sat on his lap, tapping her red lips with his finger. "What are you talking about? The one who should say sorry is  "I, it's not that I really don't want to marry you." Sirou's eyes gradually filled with tears, but she tried her best to hold back the tears. "No, my husband would rather disobey the emperor's will for Sister Mengyao. Sirou is only happy, my husband."  If you don't miss the old relationship, Sirou will be sad." Chen Xu was a little dumbfounded. He lowered his head and kissed her lips gently, and said, "Girl, cry if you want to." Sirou stared at Chen Xu for a few seconds, her tears seemed to  Her eyes welled up uncontrollably, "Ms. sir, Sirou wants to marry you, but she doesn't want to let Sister Mengyao down""Princess Sirou was sobbing and crying. Chen Xu just hugged her and rubbed her ears and temples together. He gradually started to react, which made him very embarrassed. How could he not know that Sirou was sitting on Chen Xu's lap?  Suddenly, she sniffed and lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Sir, Sirou wants to take a rest. You can carry Sirou to the couch." After a pause, she said again, "Mr. sir, don't worry, no one will come in."  "Gudong" Chen Xu swallowed. It would be exciting to have an affair in the palace, but if it was discovered by someone, it would lead to the pig cage being soaked. He felt that Alexander To be continued) Returning to Chapter 248 of being a general in ancient times.  Cheating
