Squeeze a little?
F * ck your squeezing.
How are we supposed to squeeze?
You've almost taken half of our lives away just like that. What is this?
In spite of this, no one dared to refute or question him. They did not even dare show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on their faces.
Who was this Yun Yang in front of them?
This was Young Master Yun, the young prince of the Residence of King Yun!
Who was behind the Residence of King Yun?
Yun Xiaoyao, King Xiaoyao.
Would Young Master Yun dare to do this if King Xiaoyao had not nodded?
Of course, he had nodded.
Who was behind King Xiaoyao?
Without a doubt, it could only be the current emperor!
How could King Xiaoyao do this if His Majesty did not nod his head for such an important matter, extortion in front of everyone?
It was conceivable that he had nodded his head!
As for why Yun Yang insisted that he had discussed it with Marshal Tie, it was because it was inconvenient for King Xiaoyao and His Majesty to show up. How bad would it sound if they did? Those two were still rather prideful!
It could be said that it was appropriate for Marshal Tie to take the lead in this matter, and it was even more appropriate for Yun Yang to show up.
F * ck, who would dare to be dissatisfied?
Putting aside the malice from the two highest authorities in the Empire of Yutang, Yun Yang himself might not even be able to wait for the imperial court's ruling or for Marshal Tie Zheng to pick a quarrel. His head would be gone just like that in the middle of the night …
What? Young Master Yun did it? Do you have proof?
Even if you had proof, the other party could make it disappear in a blink of an eye. He might even ask you later, "Do you have any more proof?"
This kind of thing … was completely possible. It was conceivable.
It would be a meaningless death!
What?
You said that Yun Yang coming out to collect money was His Majesty's order? Do you have proof? If you don't have proof, you're slandering, you're framing, you're disrespecting the emperor, you're lawless, you're deceiving the emperor, you're plotting a rebellion …
If that's the case, it won't be just you, your entire family will be gone!
Do you have proof? Show it to me? It's death whether I show it or not …
Everyone's mind was filled with billions of horses, alpacas, and grass mud horses galloping back and forth in an endless stream. For a moment, they were all stunned.
A few well-known wealthy families even wanted to cry, but they had no tears.
It was one thing for other families to fork out ten million, but if one's own family could only fork out ten million … then they could only wait for death!
Although he didn't specifically mention names, but … was there a need for such a thing?
"Alright, alright. I'll say it again. Everyone here is smart. Let's start the fundraising now. Well, the theme this time is to donate money, not to borrow money. " Yun Yang chuckled. "Therefore, everyone has to weigh how much you're willing to contribute. You must have a count in your heart. I won't return the money. "
Absolute silence.
"This young master doesn't have much income, so I'd rather spend the money I have. However, the country is in danger, so of course, every man has his responsibility. This young brother has brought out all of his assets this time, twenty million taels. "Yun Yang set an example and made a generous offer.
"Since big brother has said so, this young brother has always fought alongside many of Yutang's men against the enemy even though I'm not from Yutang. I still remember the bloodbath at the Fortress of Resilience until now. No matter how tight my finances are, I'm willing to fork out twenty million silver taels!" Xia Bingchuan was generous.
"Little brother, twenty million."
"Little brother, twenty million as well."
"I'll fork out thirty million. I'll have to fork out more just for my uncle. It's true that the money I have on hand is limited, so I can only fork out ten million more than my brothers. Please excuse me," Qiu Yunsan said.
The four noble young masters livened up the atmosphere at once. They were collectively embarrassed.
However, how could the other young masters endure it? They could only swallow the bitter pill in silence.
"I'll fork out ten million …"
"Me too … Sob …"
"What are you crying for? I'll fork out ten million! "
No matter how unwilling they were, they still enthusiastically offered out their donation amounts.
Now, everyone clearly understood that this sum of money was probably a life-saving measure.
If they did not come out … Hmph, just wait and see.
After three rounds of wine, Yun Yang stood up to bid farewell. "Everyone here is the nation's pillar. You've all stepped in to donate generously during this time of national crisis. I thank all of you on behalf of Marshal Tie. "
…
Then, Yun Yang took the lead and left with a flourish. It had only been a meal, but he had pocketed a fortune that was close to one and a half billion silver taels. It was as if he had pocketed a few mountains of gold!
Basically, he had already emptied the pockets of these guys in front of him.
As for Tie Zheng … of course, Tie Zheng didn't discuss these things with me. Yun Xiaoyao and His Majesty the Emperor didn't know about it either. What was happening now was really Yun Yang's doing alone, that was all.
In spite of this, the donation was really a donation!
Yutang had sacrificed tens of millions of soldiers in these years. Just this year alone, there were close to four million soldiers who had been buried in the battlefield, unable to return to their homes!
One year!
What a cruel number it was!
Even if the one and a half billion silver taels were to be distributed among each of these four million soldiers, it would only amount to slightly more than three hundred silver taels. What about the soldiers who were still alive and serving?
The sum of money seemed to be a lot, but it was not inexhaustible when it was calculated.
Even if it included the ones that he had plundered along the way, it was still far from enough. Although it might be an exaggeration to say that it was a drop in the bucket, Yun Yang still had to subsidize a lot more for it to be sufficient.
On the same night, Yun Xiaoyao took the sum of money and headed to the palace. Once his ring was opened, the emperor's study was filled with banknotes.
Both brothers were bathed in the sea of banknotes.
"I … card!" His Majesty wanted to say, "F * ck!" However, before he could speak, he remembered it and changed it to "I … card".
"Where did he get so much money from?"
"Cough … it's Yun Yang. Sigh, this child is audacious, actually organizing a donation. You know that he's quite popular …" Yun Xiaoyao spoke the truth, naturally, pushing the blame to his son.
After all, there was no need to find someone else to endorse this fact.
"Good child, what a good child!" His Majesty was so moved that his hands were shaking.
It was said that the imperial power was supreme, and that his words were law. However, only the person involved knew that there were too many times when he could only compromise. How could he be like Yun Yang, who could act as he pleased and act as he pleased?
His Majesty knew this, and so did Yun Xiaoyao.
"This child means that this sum of money has to be used for a specific purpose …" Yun Xiaoyao said, "To be used exclusively for the families of the sacrificed soldiers … This …"
"Approved!"
His Majesty made the final decision.
"If there's another end to this matter …" Yun Xiaoyao said.
"I will bear the responsibility!" His Majesty was resolute.
It was only then that Yun Xiaoyao heaved a sigh of relief. It was best to push the blame to His Majesty so that he could relax.
Although Yun Xiaoyao knew that Yun Yang did not care about these things, it was better to avoid trouble if possible.
"If that's the case, this young brother shall take his leave." Now that there was nothing else, Yun Xiaoyao naturally wanted to slip away.
"Sigh, it's rare to have such a wonderful event. How can you not accompany me for a drink before you leave?" His Majesty said.
"Forget it …" Yun Xiaoyao chuckled humorlessly. "My head is splitting right now. The dragonhide treasure map has suddenly appeared in Tiantang City, and the outside world is already in chaos. The sudden appearance of that thing will only cause a greater commotion than the Dictum of Death …"
Yun Xiaoyao was right. The whole of Tiantang City was in utter chaos now!
…
"Some brothers have doubts about the Seventeenth Young Master of the Abyss. I just want to say that I've given everyone a hint at the beginning of this book. Mystical Qi. Tianxuan Continent. Although there are no more Golden Mystical and Spirit Mystical, everyone understands …
