"It's better for everyone to collect 100 million taels of gold and give it to Bei Minglei, and let him go!" Behachi said softly: "As long as he leaves Yecheng, we will have the final say on the imperial capital!"

The four of them looked at each other, wondering: "One million taels is not a small amount!"

In fact, although the amount of 100 million taels is large, it is not impossible to get it out, but the question is who will get the money.

One million taels of gold is not something that one person can take out, but if you want everyone to contribute money, it doesn't matter who has more or less. People are selfish and don't want to spend more.

Behaci has been in the officialdom all his life, so how could he fail to see what these people were planning.

"This money is only temporarily stored in Beiminglei. As long as he is defeated, the 100 million taels of gold will naturally come back!"

Although what Behaci said was reasonable, it was a pity that the selfishness of human nature made the guards argue endlessly.

"Your Excellency has been in charge of the household department for many years, so he must have a good way of making money!"

"Master Murong is a member of the royal family, and the family has accumulated for several generations, so the family must have a lot of wealth!"

"Lord Hong is modest, the Ministry of War spends countless military expenses every year, and it must be earning a lot of money!"

These big figures in the eyes of ordinary people are now like philistine businessmen, bargaining non-stop, just wanting to get a little less gold.

Behaci kept watching with cold eyes, without saying a word, until Lang Wei saw him watching from the sidelines and dragged him into the water.

"Master Behaci has been an official for more than forty years, so he should have some spare money!"

When Behaci heard that Wei Wei had made his intentions on him, he secretly hated him, but he didn't show it to the outside, but spoke with a pleasant face.

"The old man is a clean and honest official, and has never had any extra savings. For the 100 million taels of gold, you still need to think of ways!"

"Old fox!" The four guards thought at the same time when they heard Behachi's words.

"Your Majesty is modest, as far as I know you just bought a mansion in the outskirts of Yecheng last month, worth 10 taels of silver!" For his own benefit, Wei Wei immediately bought Behaqi.

Behaci scolded Wei to death in his heart, but he replied, "It's because I bought that mansion that I have no money left!"

"However, the old man heard that half a year ago, the richest merchant in the Yan Kingdom gave Mr. Yang an authentic copy of Wang Xizhi, which is very valuable!"

A few people push me, I push you because I don't want to take out the money, I want the other party to give money, until Hong Guangbi can't stand it anymore, he proposed.

"You and I shouldn't be responsible for paying the money. There are many civil and military people in the court who want Bei Minglei to leave!"

Hong Guangbi awakened the dreamer with his words.

"That's right, Zuo Zhongcheng of Dali Temple mentioned before that his family has an ancestral jade bi, which is invaluable. Now that the country is in crisis, he should contribute it to protect his family and the country!" Dali Temple Secretary pulled his subordinates out without hesitation. disaster.

"My two subordinate families are the richest people in Jiangnan!"

"My subordinates are military supervisors!"

In this way, the guards and others put the burden of 100 million taels of gold on their shoulders. Your family gave 1 taels of gold, and his family gave 2 taels of gold. Officials complained.

When 100 million taels of gold was piled up in front of Qiu Yan, her eyes almost popped out.

Although it is expensive for a country, Qiu Yan has never seen so much money in his life.

"These ministers are so rich, they're such idiots!" Qiu Yan gritted her teeth as she looked at the 100 million taels of gold.

The minister of Yan State was calculated according to the normal food and salary, even if the food and salary of the whole life were counted, there was not 100 million taels of gold, but the real gold and silver in front of him told Qiu Yan that her minister was richer than imagined.

Apart from corruption, there is no other way to obtain this huge wealth.

"Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver!" Bei Minglei sneered while holding a gold ingot: "These are people's fat and people's ointment!"

Qiu Yan fell silent. She originally thought that Bei Minglei's asking price of 100 million taels of gold was an astronomical figure, but the facts told her that these ministers who usually pride themselves on being lofty can afford 100 million taels, let alone 1000 million taels.

In fact, Bei Minglei is not surprising at all. Thinking back to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the country was in constant war. The emperor shrunk down and went on a diet every day, and his clothes were patched. When he needed money in a war, the emperor personally borrowed money from his ministers, but got nothing.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army entered the customs and seized countless gold and silver from the homes of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, which could be equivalent to the total fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty for ten years.

Even after learning the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, Bei Minglei was merciless to those ministers who took bribes and took bribes. The first thing he said was 100 million taels of gold, but he still underestimated the ability of the ministers to collect money.

According to the information Bei Minglei received, the five most greedy people had already collected 100 million taels of gold before they had even paid a penny. If Bei Minglei was more greedy, he might be able to get another million taels.

However, Bei Minglei knew that if the blackmail continued, the minister of Yan State might really turn to the kitchen knife to ask him for an argument.

Now what the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think is to let Bei Minglei go out as soon as possible, and it is best to die on the battlefield.

Bei Minglei was already the most hated person by civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty. If he hadn't been powerful and had three thousand new troops, he would have been bitten to death by crazy courtiers long ago.

Bei Minglei quickly divided the 100 million taels of gold into two parts, 70 taels as military expenses, and 30 taels to Qiu Yan to maintain the stability of the country.

Bei Minglei told Qiu Yan: "After I take away the three thousand new troops, you can use the money to recruit troops and buy horses to strengthen the defense of the imperial city. Remember to hold the general power in your own hands!"

"Master, the rebel army is powerful, you should use this money to strengthen your armaments!"

News came from the front that the five rebels were recruiting all the way, and now the total strength is almost 15!Just relying on the [-] new troops, the strength is too great!

Bei Minglei stopped and said: "Don't worry about me, I don't care about the five-way rebels. After I leave, the ministers will definitely take action. The purpose of my recruiting is to control the ministers, so as not to I'm in a situation where I'm under attack!"

Qiu Yan looked at Bei Minglei's confident face, as if what he was going to face was not 15 rebels, but 15 pigs.

After Bei Minglei gave Qiu Yan a few more instructions, he took 70 taels of gold with him and left the palace, heading towards the barracks outside Yecheng, where three thousand recruits were waiting for him.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Three miles outside Yecheng, there is a brand new military training camp. The location is not hidden, and the area of ​​the battlefield is quite large. He set up a training camp to train [-] "Lei Family Army".

When Bei Minglei approached the barracks, he alerted the barracks' vigilance.

"Stop, the important place of the barracks ahead, no one else can enter!" Two soldiers in military uniforms blocked Bei Minglei's way with two spears.

With his hands behind his back, Bei Minglei looked at the two soldiers in front of him leisurely, and found that although they were very young and didn't have any murderous looks on them, their eyes were firm and their spirits were excellent.

"You two soldiers, do you know who I am!" Bei Minglei smiled, exuding an aura that made people approachable. The two soldiers were infected by him, and slightly relaxed their vigilance, but they recovered quickly.

"The important place of the military camp, without a warrant, no one can enter, even if His Majesty comes down!"

Bei Minglei nodded in satisfaction, took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Bing.

The little soldier took the token carefully, then his face changed, he saluted Bei Minglei, and handed the token with both hands.

"Recruit Wang Yuan, Zhang Qian has met the commander-in-chief!"

The token that Bei Minglei handed to Xiao Bing was the commander's token of the "Lei Family Army". Seeing the token is like seeing the commander.

"You guys did a great job!" Bei Minglei took the token with satisfaction, and then headed towards the barracks with his hands behind his back. No one stopped him this time.

When Bei Minglei walked through the gate of the barracks, Xicheng Xiushu greeted him with several soldiers.
