Chapter 467;
Six Six Great Success
Li Yu sighed and said;
"Well, since my father-in-law said this, then write it in this book. Mr. Liu, I think you are no longer busy. If you work harder, you will reorganize this book and write it clearly clearly for the people who will pay for the military of the court, name, source, and the amount of money to be invested."
When Liu Qi heard Li Yu's order, she immediately nodded and agreed, and then ordered a few colleagues around her to take out the blank book and put it in place, preparing to record it.
Li Yu turned around and looked at the old man in front of him and asked;
"I dare not ask my father-in-law for his surname and name, and where did he come from?"
"Old and innocent surnamed Song, named Lian Zhong, were from Xicheng, Jinan Prefecture."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Li Yu slowly sang to Liu Qi and others;
"I dare to bother Liu Yuanwai's record. At that time, there was Jinan Prefecture and the Song family in Xicheng, Lian Zhong, who invested 2,000 jin."
Liu Qi personally recorded this, and wrote the writing in a straightforward manner, with a perfect name, origin, and money amount.
The old man looked at the name recorded in Liu Qi's book, and his eyes were still muttering in his mouth;
"Sanlang Goro, my son, you guard the border to resist those wolves. Aye is also worried about it at home, but he can't do anything about it. At the beginning, you said you wanted to be loyal to the king and be a warrior. Aye did not stop you, but he was worried about your safety every day at home...
Aye has no other ability. When he learned that your troops were going to change their equipment, Aye invested 2,000 jin. He hoped that both of my children could be assigned to the thick iron armor mentioned by the county magistrate, so that my two sons would return safely..."
The plan that Li Yu had come up with was to plunder these rich families again, but he didn't expect that the old man really treated him as a big deal. Li Yu could hear the words he was talking to, and he felt so sad that he felt so sad.
After the old man's name was written, he immediately surrounded a group of people, one of whom was over fifty, and said loudly;
"Li County Bo, I have the eldest son who is loyal to the king among the Sixteen Guards, and I am also a good man who defends my country. I am also a person who is Aye, and I want to contribute to him.
However, some people had not much property in their homes, and they had to leave some money to buy Wuliangye in the future, so they could only take out 700 stagnants.
Although the money is not large, it is also the kindness of my ministers to the king and the court. This is what I do for Aye’s son. I want to buy a thick set of armor for the eldest son of the family. Of course, the thicker the better. Please don’t think it’s too little.”
"Li County Uncle, a family also wants to buy a thick armor for their second son to put on. The family pays 500 stagnant of money. I wonder if it can be used. Please let Li County Uncle kindly inform you, and I am very grateful."
"Yes, yes, Li County Master, is five hundred guan enough? I also want to buy two sets of grandsons in Jinwu Guard and pay one thousand guan."
Li Yu looked at a group of families with sons and grandsons in the Sixteen Guards, and they all actively signed up to raise money, and felt so uncomfortable.
I blame myself for not being able to judge a gentleman with a villain’s heart, but I also thought of the ministers who knew to get some money back and spit out a thousand stalemates.
I can't fall behind, let alone I have to take away a lot of money this time. The 20% of the money I made of wine and millet is probably more than 5 million guan!
This is a shocking number. Even though he is under the banner of buying millet to make wine, his Majesty may think too much will be felt by then!
Instead of asking Your Majesty to think about it, it is better to take the initiative and learn from the ministers, get some to cater to the emperor, and then get some money to go smoothly. Don’t let the emperor get jealous. Li Yu, who thought of this, said passionately;
"It's enough, it's enough. It's just not a big money. This time the court will give all the men a thick set of armor. Everyone will understand His Majesty's kindness in the future.
And this time, they were all voluntary, no one forced them, and no one would complain if they gave them a lot of money. There was no extra money at home, and no one said anything about you. They were completely voluntary, otherwise wouldn’t it be a plunder for people’s wealth?
You, elders, don’t misunderstand Your Majesty’s original intention. Your Majesty is afraid that everyone will misunderstand it will be a plundering of people’s wealth, so he disagrees at all. After some persuasion, he reluctantly agrees.
But the people who have repeatedly told the orders that they would definitely pay the money will voluntarily and cannot force any of them. So don’t understand the mistakes. Whether you take money to fund the important affairs of the court, your husband will give you a thick set of armor, which has nothing to do with how much money or not."
The old man who said he had bought armor for his two grandchildren before said with a smile;
"Li County Bomo is going to panic. I have heard clearly before that the Supreme is not here to plunder the people's wealth and ointment. I have no misunderstanding. I just want to do something for my two grandsons, so I feel more at ease."
Seeing that everyone understood that it was not forcing but voluntary, Li Yu nodded with confidence;
"In our Li family, I am the only one with blood in the second family, and I have not served in the army. However, I personally admire those good men who fought on the battlefield. I admire their passion and the heart of warriors.
I admire their loyalty and service to the country. I admire their courage to not be afraid of death. I am also a Han Chinese, and I also want to do something for the warriors who guard the Han Chinese homes.
Let me do this! I also have some spare money and invest 660,000 guan to help the court replace the thick armor for the Sixteen Wei Erlang, and give me some meager strength. Mr. Liu please record it. Li Yu, the leader of the second house of the Li family in Longxi, paid 660,000 guan.
I think this number of sixty-six is a good number, which means that the meaning of sixty-six is smooth. I pray here to heaven to protect my children in the Han army, and be safe and sound."
"good!"
“Good!”
"Li County Bo is kind and righteous, and I admire him very much."
"Oh, it's true. We all have sons in the Sixteen Guards at home, so we want to support the court and feel at ease. Li County Bo has no other brothers at home, nor does he have relatives on duty in the Sixteen Guards. They still take out so much money, which is really admirable!"
"Yes, such a man is a real good man. Li County Bo's sentiment is so admirable."
Qian Dehai, who was going to supervise Li Yu's work behind the crowd, was also admired and watched Li Yu nodding constantly to agree.
Many families from the small portal watched a group of people surrounded here, standing in front of Liu Qi and others, wondering what they were registering, but they all ran over to watch the fun.
After looking at it and inquiring, I found out the truth. I was voluntarily and did not force anyone. So I couldn't help but pay for my children who had worked in the Sixteen Guards.
Some people contributed 300 guan, some of them contributed 500 guan, some of them contributed 700 guan, and some of them contributed 700 guan, and some of them said that they wrote 1,000 guan.
One of the old men who had registered for 400 trump cards asked Li Yu strangely;
"I have asked for it. I have something unknown. I want to ask for advice. Can the county uncle solve my doubts?"
"If you have something to say, please speak in person."
"Okay, I can understand the life of the person who paid the money, but I still have to write about where to live. Why do I feel a little awkward? Can the county uncle know why this is written about where the person is?"
Li Yu was waiting for this question. Finally someone asked it and immediately gave him a fascinating smile;
"Oh, this is the case. When I went to ask for advice from the Supreme, the Supreme said that he would find an empty place in the center of Zhuque Street, plant a stone tablet, and write down all the people who paid for the great affairs of the court today.
Because many people have overlapping names, they are afraid that their descendants will see the ancestors paying for the court, so they can't figure out where Zhang San is from and where Li Si is from.
So after explanation, you must write it clearly, and ask the stonemason to carve it clearly, so that it will be convenient for the descendants of all generations to come to visit in the future."
The old man was shocked when he heard this. Not to mention him, all those around the stands were big mouths, and the old man asked with his trembling lips;
"What? Do you need to carve your old name and background on the merit monument? You need to plant it in the middle of Zhuque Street, the largest street in Chang'an City?
I am just a small-scale student and don’t have much knowledge. Don’t you want to make me happy?”
"Yes, Li County Uncle, is this matter true or false? Is it really what the Supreme said in person?"
"God, this is to be engraved on the merit stele. Qi Sanlang, have you heard that the name of a certain family is to be engraved on the merit stele, and it is also to be planted in the middle of Chang'an City. In the future generations, some people will know that a certain family has paid money for the court!"
"I heard my old neighbor, and my family was not deaf, and I could hear it clearly just now. Do you still use your explanation and repetition?
But then again, you are so stingy that you are so embarrassed to speak out and shout. As far as you know, your family business is at least 100,000 yuan.
And your third son is still on duty in the Right Wu Guard, so he has paid 300 trump cards. Although the court said that everyone is willing to do so, he will not force anyone.
But you can also get at least 500 jin of coins, which is better. When descendants of the future generations look at the merit monument, Liu Yuanxian, Liu from Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province, sponsored the court's military money of 300 jin.
Come on! People will definitely ask casually who Liu Yuanxian from Nanyang Prefecture is? Why did you only pay 300 guan? It would be fine if you don’t know.
Those who know your foundation must tell you. Oh, don’t mention it. The Landlord Liu was a stingy guy a hundred years ago. How could he talk a lot? I said you are not ashamed of old neighbors..."
Li Yu responded to the old man with a smile;
"Don't worry, father-in-law, how dare my nephew risked his head beheading and said something false. If it weren't for what Your Majesty said in person, how could I have the courage to come and pass the imperial edict?
Everything I said just now was spoken by His Majesty in the north room, and there were also a group of civil and military ministers who could hear it in person.
Your Majesty is still sitting in the upper room now. How dare I say anything random? My father-in-law, please rest assured, I didn't say a single word.
Your Majesty has already left all the matters of the merit monument to me. Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Works to find some skilled craftsmen to carefully carve them.
After the carving is completed, please check it out and you can choose a location to place it. It’s really a matter of fact, but it’s not careless!
That is why it is called writing clearly which origin of the person who contributes the money, which prefecture, which prefecture, which county, so that you can understand clearly. Put the people from Henan and the people from Nanyang, and carve them together, so that it will also facilitate future generations to see the great achievements of their ancestors."
After Li Yu finished talking, he joked about Liu Yuanxian, a stingy middle-aged man in Nanyang Mansion, just as soon as he finished speaking. The guy who was laughed at was not quarrel, and he squeezed out of the crowd with a flash of inspiration. He arrived at the table where no one was watching in the east and said with a smile;
"Please ask Mr. Liu, I'm polite here."
How could Liu Qi not know what this person is going to do? Bo Laodao, who has been the lord of the capital for ten years, was extremely damn good. As soon as this person came over, Liu Qi guessed that he thought that 300 stakes were too little. He wanted to show his face on the merit monument to be outstanding. Liu Qi pretended to be unconscious and bowed with a smile;
"Family, what do you have to come to me? To put it bluntly, if you can do your best to a certain family, you will be able to make some convenience with you."
"Oh, I'm grateful. Oh, I'm grateful. Oh, this is the case. I just said the wrong amount. Now that I think about it carefully, there is still some extra money in the family that has not been used. I'm asking the whole family to change it and change the three hundred guan to three thousand guan. Oh, it's really causing trouble for the whole family. Thank you very much."
As Liu Yuanxian said, he took out a small silver cake from his sleeve, and about one or two taels were about to stuff it into Liu Qi's hand.
Liu Qi shook her head and said seriously;
"You can quickly put the money away from you, but don't come to harm my reputation. If you don't use this money, I want to make some adjustments for you. Your master dare not provoke you.
Originally, according to the rules required by the court for the Ministry of Revenue, no book could be changed, but who said that we are a family? This book must not be changed, and I dare not be exceptional.
However, this official can add another layer here. Liu Yuanxian, Zhenping County, Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province, paid another 2,700 guan, totaling 3,000 guan.
In this case, the craftsmen who carve in the future will naturally carve your total number. I wonder if you think this is good for the family?"
Liu Yuanxian smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and rubbed his hands and said;
"Okay, okay, I've caused trouble for the family, thank you very much."
Liu Qi started a new line in the book she registered and put down her pen after writing it;
"Well, the family will become three thousand guan this time, but I would like to remind you that after writing this book, you should try not to regret or repent for the family. According to the court's requirements, the money will be sent to the Warehouse Department within three days, otherwise you will only write it out but not execute it... I may make people laugh at all. You can't lose the face of my descendants of the Liu family!"
The re-registered Landlord Liu responded with a serious look;
"That's all right. If I only register and make a book, but don't take out the money and silk to carry out the execution, it will not only make people laugh at all in the world? It will also make people laugh at their descendants!
I have five sons, and I will have a family of children and grandchildren in the future. Besides, although I am a small portal and not as good as those aristocratic families, I am still a stolen person in our hometown. If I register and write, where will I put my face?
There are so many descendants in my future who will be laughed at by others when they go out. I dare not do such shameless things.
Chapter completed!
