The official waiter clearly heard Qian Shengchao's intention of extortion, but he did not dare to get angry. He laughed and said, "Although there is no loan note, it is a lot of money. Before the end of the year, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely pay it back."

Qian Shengchao said lightly: "If you don't have any evidence, you can say 2.6 million. No one believes it if you say it out. I think it's better to find a few adults who can make the decision and sit down in person to chat."

Yuanwailang's smile froze on his face, not knowing what to do.

Chen Zhenqing was in the side door at this moment. Hearing that Qian Shengchao raised the price to five million, his face looked gloomy and ugly.

Five million, five hundred thousand is hard to raise. Where can they do this five million?

What's more, this is a blackmail by a small businessman. How can he recognize it as a dignified business department?!

But he didn't dare to go out. Outside, he was the noble minister of the Ministry of Revenue. People look up to him. In the eyes of real big shots, he could poke him to death with one hand.

Qian Sheng looked straight and looked calm, staring at the Yuanwai Lang like this.

He has already received news that his boss has won a great victory, so what else can he be afraid of!

This Yuanwailang was just a person who passed the message, so he dared not really offend Qian Shengchao. He gritted his teeth and laughed with him, saying good things.

Chen Zhenqing was inside, and saw Qian Shengchao unswervingly, biting five million to death, his eyes were gloomy and his face changed constantly.

He couldn't help but want to go out several times, and angrily scolded Qian Shengchao, but finally he held it back.

It took me a long time to spend in the side hall, but Chen Yan finally came back.

Chen Zhenqing suppressed his anger and whispered: "Sir, they raised the price to five million!"

Chen Yan has read Zhou Zheng's note. Compared to saving his life, official position, and the power to cede, money and food are already a trivial matter.

Despite this, Chen Yan still had a heartache, a headache, and was uncomfortable everywhere. He let out a deep breath and said, "Promise him."

Chen Zhenqing opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Sir, that's five million! He wants us to pay it within one year, how is this possible?"

Five million, this is a huge amount of money. Yang Sichang planned to set up a net on all sides and planned for more than two years, and only about one million was available!

Chen Yan also understood, but do they have any other choice?

"Well, I know." Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said expressionlessly.

Chen Zhenqing looked at Chen Yan, who was also a slut who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years. Finally, she woke up and nodded in panic and said, "The official understands."

Chen Yan watched him walk outside, feeling bitter, and said to himself: How can you know that our destiny has long been in the hands of others, and he still thought he was self-righteous and wanted to drive away that person...

Chen Zhenqing came out and looked at Qian Shengchao who was imprisoned by him not long ago and said expressionlessly: "We agree, you go."

Qian Shengchao smiled and said, "That's good, I believe in the credibility of the Ministry of Revenue. By the way, Yuan Fu promised to give us 500,000 yuan of grain and 400,000 yuan. He hoped to pay it within five days and not affect the court's great cause of bandit suppression. It is related to the country and cannot be delayed."

Chen Zhenqing's teeth were almost shattered, and his eyes were staring at Qian Shengchao with gloomy eyes, saying word by word: "I said, I understand."

Qian Sheng smiled a lot on his face, raised his hand and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I'll say goodbye."

Qian Shengchao turned around and left, leaving behind a quiet tranquility in the Ministry of Revenue.

The Yuanwailang was stunned, five million, Shilang Chen actually agreed! This is a naked blackmail, extortion of the Ministry of Revenue!

Chen Zhenqing seemed not to see the expression of the man who was staring at him, stared at Qian Shengchao coldly and turned straight into the inner hall.

Chen Yan called his confidants over and discussed it secretly for a long time.

These people left the secret room, all of them had a serious expression and did not say a word.

Similar to this is Zhou Yanru's other direct descendants, who explained clearly one by one, and were clearly divided into Zhou Zheng's line and no longer fought with each other.

At the same time, they all received a very difficult task, which was to "raise money and grain". They had to use all their means, whether it was borrowing, stealing, or robbing, and they had to raise five million within one year!

The promised salary is gone, the yard is no longer repaired, and all the "filial piety" that I know is also accepted by the Duke...

Zhou Yanru and his team were raising money desperately. What is surprising is that they raised 400,000 in just five days and handed it over to Zhang Heyi.

The West Gate.

Zhou Zheng's second son Zhou Deke wandered around the entire West End. Unlike his elder brother's introverted fear, the little guy seemed to have nothing to be afraid of, running around, and even screaming and chasing after seeing something novel.

This is the second son of the Zhengxibo. Everyone in the Zhengxi corridor is spoiled. No matter how busy they are, they will occasionally play with the little guys.

Zhang Heyi took the documents given by the Ministry of Revenue and came to Zhou Zheng's class room. He said in surprise: "Sir, don't look at the national treasury, these people are really rich. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to recuperate the yard a while ago, and in a blink of an eye, they raised another 400,000..."

Zhou Zheng looked up at him and said, "Have you found out where he came from?"

Zhang Heyi glanced around and said, "Students asked, some of them were 'borrowed', and the tricks were smaller. Some were the deductions of canal transportation, salt classes, tea, etc., which were related to merchants in Jiangnan. Another part was selling official positions. I heard that all kinds of fat were short of, and the price was clearly marked. Sichuan salt classes were recommended, and the price was 5,000 taels!"

Zhou Zheng was not surprised, pondered for a moment, and said, "Look at them."

Zhang Heyi nodded, and was about to turn around and go out, saying, "By the way, I heard that King Lu has entered the capital and has entered the palace."

Zhou Zheng already knew that, and continued to read the book, saying, "Don't worry, there are people above us."

Zhang Heyi immediately smiled and said, "Yes, the student will leave."

When Zhang Heyi left Zhou Zheng's class room, King Lu entered the Qianqing Palace and was meeting Zhu Cixuan.

The fief of King Lu is Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong. The reform of Shandong has caused great suppression. King Lu also cried to Chongzhen and was suppressed by Zhou Zheng through several cases. Now, he can't help but jump out again.

The King of Lu stood at the table of Zhu Cixuan's case and said painfully and helplessly: "Your Majesty, since the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the court has repeatedly deducted the salary of our Prince Lu's Mansion. The last emperor was deceived by the treacherous slander and reduced the distribution of the Prince Lu's Mansion. Now, I can no longer bear it. Please ask Your Majesty to urge the Ministry of Revenue to distribute the salary of the Prince Lu's Mansion."

Zhu Cilang was actually not clear about these things, but King Lu was a royal family and could not ignore them and turned to look at Li Zhong.

Li Zhong knew these things well, looked at King Lu and whispered: "Long live, King Lu is telling the truth."

Zhu Cilang said oh, "Then let the Ministry of Revenue allocate as soon as possible."

Li Zhong didn't say anything.

The King of Lu was overjoyed and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order."

Zhu Cilang blinked, then turned to look at Li Zhong.

He was only ten years old after all, whether in terms of etiquette or reality, his power had fallen to the outside court, one step further than his father, Chongzhen.

He dared not decide on such a major matter.
