Chapter 212: War of words with ministers
Censor Geng disagreed and immediately stood up and said, "How can the Crown Princess confuse the public? I am a clean official and my family has no permanent property."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Sir Geng, we are all in the capital. As far as I know, Jin Yu Zhai in the capital is the property of the Geng family. A set of top-quality headwear in Jin Yu Zhai is worth tens of thousands of taels, not to mention a thousand taels.
This price is much more expensive than the clock in Chaoxi Hall!"
"Sir Geng, it's not good to lie in front of His Majesty now."
What Qin Wan meant was that you all should stop pretending. She knew exactly how much assets your Geng family had.
Censor Geng choked, "Crown Princess, all the property in the house is my wife's dowry, not my property."
Censor Geng was very depressed because his wife's Jin Yu Zhai's gold jewelry was expensive, and the material of the jewelry was also expensive, as the material was gold.
That's incomparable to a clock. The clock in Chaoxi Hall is made of copper and iron. Most of the material is wood.
How can wood be compared with gold!
Censor Geng felt very wronged.
Qin Wan sneered, "Oh, Lord Geng is really hypocritical. Your wife can have property under her name, but I can't. I have never heard such a joke."
"How can they be the same?" Censor Geng retorted.
"Why are they different? Is it your wife who is not a woman, or am I not a woman? Lord Geng is an imperial censor of the Imperial Censorate. I have seen this today."
Qin Wan's sarcastic words were heard by all the ministers in the court.
Their faces were also burning.
Censor Geng was unable to refute and glanced at Censor Su.
Qin Wan also caught this little action and realized that this Censor Geng, who liked to take the lead, had the Su family standing behind him.
Su Xun stood up at this time and said, "Crown Princess, although Censor Geng's words are biased, as the Crown Prince's legal wife, you are naturally different from the wife of a minister.
The Crown Princess will also be the mother of a country in the future, and the common people of the world will be her subjects.
Now the country is in trouble and the treasury is insufficient. The Crown Princess should set an example and make some contributions to the people of Yan Dynasty.
As a member of the royal family, the Crown Princess earns a fortune every day. If this industry is returned to the national treasury and managed by the state, it will have a greater impact than if it is in the hands of the Crown Princess. "
When Qin Wan heard what Censor Su said, she also felt that this old man was quite capable.
This is just a compliment to yourself and to put pressure on yourself.
Qin Wan looked at Su Yushi leisurely, "Su Yushi really thinks highly of me, but Su Yushi is right, if I become the queen and the mother of a country, all the people in the world will be my subjects.
Then wait until I really become the queen, and then donate to Chaoxi Hall!"
Su Yushi: "........."
Before Su Yushi could react, Qin Wan continued, "However, I am now the Crown Princess, and the Queen Mother is my mother. I am still young, so I am not in a hurry. Donating to Chaoxi Hall is not legitimate.
But I also love the people. Yesterday, I promised to donate 300,000 taels of silver to the national treasury to serve as military supplies for fighting against pirates."
At this time, there were whispers of discussion in the hall.
When the ministers saw that the Crown Princess had rendered Censor Su speechless, they had their own thoughts in their minds.
Xiao Jingrui stood up at this time, "Crown Princess is so righteous, I thank you on behalf of the people of Taizhou."
At this time, Minister Lu also stood up and praised Qin Wan.
Lord Song and Lord Fang are now both silent.
They finally realized that the Crown Princess was not someone to be dealt with easily.
If they continue to mention the donation to Chaoxi Hall, the Crown Princess will force them to confiscate their family property.
Even if you say that the property belongs to your wife, it will not work. Besides, the Imperial Censor Su has been silent. If they continue to stand up, they will really get nothing.
For a moment, the hall was quiet.
The emperor did not want Qin Wan's Chaoxi Hall, so he said, "Well, since the Crown Princess has such a kind heart, I will accept the donation.
However, I will not take advantage of you. You can rest assured that you can use the farm in Longshouyuan. I will grant you another 200 acres of land, also in Longshouyuan, connected to the original farm."
Qin Wan didn't expect the emperor to be so generous. Before Qin Wan could thank him, she heard another piece of unexpected news.
"In addition, the Crown Princess has made great contributions in donating silver, and the Qin family has been granted the title of Baron, and the Shengyefang house as a residence. Crown Princess, you have no brothers, so who do you think is the most suitable to inherit the title, my two cousins?"
Qin Wan didn't expect that three hundred thousand taels of silver would bring her so many benefits.
She immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, father, for your reward. My eldest cousin Qin Xiao is smart and upright, and he is very clever and simple. He can inherit the title of baron."
Seeing Qin Wan's brazen words, the emperor didn't feel like exposing her. "Okay, then choose Qin Xiao!" Thinking that all the benefits had been given but the silver had not yet been received, he added, "As for the donated silver, it must be sent to the treasury before tomorrow."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. Let the minister of the Ministry of Revenue prepare it. I will transport the silver to the treasury in the afternoon."
The emperor did not look at Qin Wan, but at Minister Lu. "Lord Lu, tell the people in the Ministry of Revenue to prepare the money. Not a single ounce of silver can be missing."
When the emperor saw Qin Wan's smile, he felt it was a bit dazzling, so he said this.
However, the emperor is now also grateful to Qin Wan for donating money. The three hundred thousand taels of silver solved the urgent problem. The Taizhou issue is imminent, but the autumn crops will take more than a month to mature.
It's difficult to raise money during this period of transition.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Minister Lu assured hastily.
Although Minister Lu is Zhao Zhen's man, he is also an official of the imperial court. He is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Naturally, he has ideas about Chaoxitang, the hen that lays golden eggs.
But now that he is not coming, he is not disappointed, because Chaoxitang is still the property of the Eastern Palace!
At this time, Minister Lu also felt that it was a good thing for the Eastern Palace to have money. The Eastern Palace had the right to control this money. If Chaoxitang put the money into the national treasury, it would be hard to say where it could be used after going around in circles.
By then, the prince had less say, and if he wanted to get things done, he had to argue with court officials.
"Crown Princess, please step back first!"
"Yes, Father!"
Qin Wan left the court meeting happily. She did not lose out this time.
I originally thought that the money was just wasted, but now I have bought a title.
Although it is the lowest rank of nobility, the Qin family is no longer a commoner.
Qin Wan left calmly. She didn't know that many ministers were secretly considering her as the Crown Princess.
Today, Qin Wan debated with the scholars at the court meeting and left a deep impression on the ministers.
Grand Tutor Yuan didn't say a word today, but he was very satisfied with Qin Wan's performance today, and he had a better impression of her.
He stroked his beard and watched Qin Wan leave the hall with a smile.
