"Father..." Yu Chizhen glanced at Eunuch Li beside him, "I can only tell Father this method."
Emperor Ning frowned, looked back at Eunuch Li and said, "Go down!"
Eunuch Li glared at Yuchizhen resentfully, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking, how many princes are waiting for me to curry favor with you, but you are so shameless! OK! Get out and get out!
When Eunuch Li withdrew from Chengqian Palace, only Emperor Ning and Yuchizhen were left in the entire hall.
Emperor Ning frowned and said, "Can we talk now?"
"Father, I have already heard about the plague in Yangqiao, Master Xia from the Household Department. Although my ability is limited, I may be able to help you with this matter." Yu Chizhen said bluntly, "Actually, Father also knows, Although the national treasury is empty, our Daning Kingdom is not really short of money..."
He hesitated to speak, and looked at Emperor Ning with wandering eyes.
As expected, Emperor Ning continued, "In the capital city alone, there are no less than three hundred rich and noble families with assets of more than 100,000 taels of silver, among which there are more than a dozen rich merchants, whose wealth is even richer than my palace! They are citizens of my country of Daning, so naturally my country of Daning is not really short of money!"
"Father has reduced or exempted taxes in the past few years, and wants to give the people a better life, I understand." Yu Chi really raised his head, "I am also very grateful for Father's understanding of the people, but this rich man lacks more money and more money. Money does not affect livelihood. In this crisis in southern Shonan, rich people should lend a helping hand!"
"Do you mean to ask the rich people in the capital to donate to raise money?" Emperor Ning frowned, "I have already thought about this method, and I have given it to Master Xia of the Ministry of Households to do it, but unfortunately it didn't work. After this day, the money raised is not enough for the soldiers to go to southern Shonan!"
"There is no need to raise money." Yu Chi shook his head, "I have already selected a rich and noble family, and he will definitely help my father solve his urgent needs."
"Oh?!" Emperor Ning was startled, "Can you find such a person?!"
"Yeah." Yuchi nodded firmly, "This man has a great business, and his family property is among the best in Beijing. As long as he is willing to donate his family property, the disaster in southern Hunan will no longer have to worry my father!"
Emperor Ning looked at him with some hesitation, "Is there really such a person?"
"En." Yuchizhen nodded again.
"Who is it?! Tell me!" Emperor Ning's voice paused, "There are only a few families in the capital who are rich and powerful, and whose family property is so huge, I can probably call them by name. You report his name, and I will send someone to appease him, and give him an imperial plaque for serving the country faithfully!"
"My son can't say it." Yuchi really sold a lawsuit on purpose.
"Can't say?!" Emperor Ning frowned, thinking that Yuchi was really making fun of him, "You really have hard wings, even I have started to fool you!"
"Father, you know my son's temperament, I will never lie." Yu Chizhen raised his head with a serious face.
Emperor Ning was stunned, a little confused, "Then why..."
"If you say so, this matter can't be done!" Yuchi really couldn't let him ask, so he followed his words, "I invited you here today, just want to ask Father for a favor! Father can only help Only by doing this can I get the donation as I wish!"
"Nonsense! Are you threatening me?!"
