Chapter 160
Emperor Tang sneered: "Prime Minister, you are talking lightly? Borrow? How to borrow? Did you see it? No civil and military officials in the dynasty have any intention of lending me money!"
"Your Majesty, I thought of someone who might be able to borrow money!" Xu Shize's old face suddenly lit up with a smile.
Tang Huang became interested when he heard this: "Who?"
"Prince Tang Yu!" Xu Shize said loudly.
"Prime Minister, are you crazy? How can I have so much money?"
Hearing that Xu Shize was trying to trick him again, Tang Yu almost jumped up in anger.
After careful calculation, the mahjong parlor earned 1.6 million taels of silver on the day it opened. The Deer and the Cauldron earned 360,000 taels of silver before. After excluding the 30,000 taels given to Han Teng, he barely had 2 million taels of silver now.
Looking at Xu Shize's scheming look, Tang Yu couldn't help but guess, could it be that Xu Shize knew about his sale of The Deer and the Cauldron and his opening of a mahjong parlor?
Impossible. This matter has been kept secret very well. It is impossible for Xu Shize, an old fox, to know about it easily.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious!"
Remember https://m in one second.
Xu Shize smiled leisurely: "Your Highness, don't forget that the Crown Princess is a member of the Ning family in the capital. The Ning family is the richest man in the capital. It shouldn't be a problem for you to borrow two million from the Ning family, right?"
"Going to borrow money from the Ning family?" Tang Yu was confused.
In his impression, he had never been to Ning's house even once since he married Ning Wan'er.
In addition, before he only knew how to spend a lot of time and drink, the Ning family must have a bad impression of him. If the Ning family was willing to lend him money, something evil would happen.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has a good idea!"
"Yes, yes, the Ning family has money. It will definitely be no problem for the prince to borrow money from the Ning family!"
Everyone in the court was in danger. When they heard that Xu Shize asked Tang Yu to borrow money from the Ning family, they all agreed.
"Can't borrow it, no money!" Tang Yu refused directly.
Two million taels of silver is a lot of money. The battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty will definitely be extremely fierce. Even if they win, the national treasury will still face a deficit. If the court still cannot pay the money, then won't the two million taels have to be filled by themselves? ? Tang Yu didn't want to do this loss-making business.
Xu Shize chuckled: "Your Highness, don't refuse first. Think about it. As long as you can borrow this money, you can ask His Majesty directly if you have any requests. Your Highness, you are the main battler. Do you want to go to the front line then?"
"Huh?" Tang Yu seemed to have thought of something after being reminded by Xu Shize.
In order to fight Da Chu, Emperor Tang acknowledged: "Yu'er, the Prime Minister is right, as long as you can collect two million taels of silver, I will satisfy you in any request!"
"Father, I want the golden fire cavalry in the suburbs!" Tang Yu said bluntly.
He could finally see why Xu Shize asked him to come forward to borrow money from the Ning family. It turned out that Xu Shize wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the eldest prince Tang Long's military power.
"What? Want the Golden Fire Cavalry in the suburbs? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Hearing that Tang Yu actually wanted the Golden Fire Cavalry, Tang Long, as the eldest prince, jumped out immediately.
He had been in charge of the army for many years, and Tang Long knew very well that although there were only thirty thousand Golden Fire Cavalry, they were the most powerful cavalry in the Tang Dynasty.
At present, the Tang Dynasty's army totals 400,000 people, of which there are only 50,000 cavalry. As we all know, cavalry plays a great role on the battlefield. Every cavalryman is a treasure. Tang Yu wants to kill 30,000 people in one breath. This is not to kill Tang Dynasty. Dragon's Half Life?
"Brother, why is it impossible?"
Tang Yu sneered, and he said as if he was convinced of Tang Long: "If the eldest brother can collect two million taels of silver, I will never mention the request for the golden fire cavalry from now on! Of course, if the eldest brother cannot collect two million taels, Millions of silver, then don’t blame me, Ninth Brother, hehehehehe..."
