Chapter 163: The Way of the Courtier
Zhou Dingkang, the king of Cheng, has followed Emperor Wu since he ascended the throne, and after so many years of courtiers, since he said so, he is naturally sure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Ming was also relieved, anyway, he was going to check it seriously, just like Emperor Wu said, everyone is not afraid to check if they have a clear conscience. As long as Lee Seung-yoon is fine, he is not afraid of his mother's concern.
It was King Cheng who remembered one thing, "I heard from the housekeeper, you paid more than 10,000 taels of silver from the account some time ago?"
He mentioned the silver at first glance, Zhou Ming thought about it, there was really such a thing, "The son has withdrawn it, and the silver is ......" He hurriedly wanted to explain the reason.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dingkang didn't want to ask about the use of the money at all, "Very good, how much money does it cost, just go to the account and withdraw it." Our Zhou family's sons, as long as they are not addicted to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, do things without making a big difference, spend some money, and see everything. ”
This is very open-minded, and obviously thinks that it is beneficial for my son to see more of the Huahua world, so that he will not be blinded by anything in the future.
Zhou Ming was a little dumbfounded, daring his father to think that he had taken the silver to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble?
He blushed and was a little embarrassed, "Father, the son didn't do this. ”
After more than ten years of abiding by the family rules and keeping himself clean, how could he listen to his father's words and hope that he would fall overnight?
"Didn't you go to Chunfeng Building with someone?"
"That's ...... It was being dragged away. Zhou Ming was a little crying without tears, the silver was to fill the land that Yan Yuxiu bought, but let him say it, he felt a little awkward.
Zhou Dingkang thought that his son was embarrassed, "Now that the saint is getting older, you just remember, no matter how foolish the little things are, it doesn't hurt to spend silver, our family always has no shortage of silver......"
"Speaking of silver, father, son's newly hired staff is good at algorithms and old in the world, he looked at the money in our house a few days ago, and told his son that he thinks the accounts in the house are disorderly, but he is afraid that there are many loopholes, do you want to sort out the accounts in the house?"
Zhou Ming understood what Zhou Dingkang meant, and the father and son were also close on weekdays, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if his father suddenly rose up and asked him to go to a place like Chunfeng Tower to have fun for a few days?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dingkang was unmoved, "Manly man, look outside, why do you suddenly pay attention to the small things at home?"
"How can this be a trivial matter? If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" Zhou Ming was a little unconvinced.
"You're still too young and vigorous. Zhou Dingkang couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Ming holding his neck and planning to argue with himself, "The saint once said that the Zhou family is strict in governing the army, and it is not good to govern the family's brains." We can't talk to people about our Zhou family, and we don't have to make a monolith like governing the army, do you understand?"
Zhou Ming had never heard his father say these words, and seeing that his father was planning to teach himself, he shook his head with the attitude of learning the art of war in the past.
"Who doesn't have a few slaves? It's not uncommon for our family to have moths that fill their pockets, and with these people, the saint will believe in the Zhou family more. You just have to think about how many military generals' homes have been wiped out since the founding of this dynasty? You just need to make sure that not a single piece of information that should be leaked is leaked out, and the rest, even if it leaks into a sieve. ”
Zhou Ming thought about it for a while, but he understood a little, "Father is saying that these are the handles of our family?"
"What kind of trick is this, this is a laughing stock. Anyway, our family is a martial artist and a rough person, so we don't have to be afraid of people's jokes. ”
"Since your staff member has a good algorithm, you go talk to him, and if he is willing to serve in the Northern Army, send him over. The accounts of the army cannot allow people to fill their own pockets. You are staring at the household at these times, and the first batch of cotton clothes has been sent out, but the rest of them have to be sent out before the New Year. ”
"Okay, my son understands. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that I can't regress now, I really want to go back to the field. At the end, Zhou Dingkang sighed and said.
The current Zhou family is indeed unable to return. If the Zhou family retreats, the generals in the northern army who are born and die and fight bloodily will have to suffer first. Secondly, if the Zhou family asks for retreat, it will lead to gossip, and the emperor thinks that the Zhou family is advancing by retreating, which is even more troublesome.
Zhou Ming understood what Zhou Dingkang meant, and could only sigh.
In recent years, Emperor Wu has lightly paid for the name of Mingjun, and the treasury is naturally not abundant.
But the northern barbarians are eyeing each other, and some so-called loyal ministers in the court feel that the Zhou family is the culprit of consuming the treasury.
Every year, when the time comes to distribute military rations, they start to attack constantly, and they have to constantly fight with the household department. They are not afraid to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy with real swords and guns, but they are afraid of instability in the rear.
However, Emperor Wu's suspicion has become more severe over the years, and his mind is wavering.
"Don't talk about that, you must do your best to do the errand of the Holy Lord. The brothers and sisters of the Yan family always felt a little unusual. Zhou Dingkang knocked on the coffee table and thought for a moment, "It's really time for them to become famous." A few children don't have this scheming, and the saint is only afraid that there are people hiding behind them. ”
After Yan Qinghong's family was picked up, Yan Yudong's family suddenly opened a workshop, and the money was as fast as running water, no matter how you looked at it, it felt like a ghost.
Moreover, what kind of tea, powder, four children, can make a secret recipe?
"The four sons have seen it, and the other three are very good and sensible, but they don't think they are particularly outstanding in intelligence. Only Yan Yuxiu," Zhou Ming pondered and commented, "There are some appropriate and beneficial cleverness." ”
Looking back on Mingzhou, it is indeed appropriate and advantageous, but it will not be to the point where people want to get rid of it quickly.
"Ten-year-old little lady, if something goes wrong, she is a demon, if there is really a master behind them, then this master must be dug up. ”
If there is really something behind it, Zhou Ming didn't find out, and others found out, then Emperor Wu didn't beat the Zhou family in such a vague way.
Zhou Ming knew what his father meant, so he nodded solemnly and agreed, and returned to the study to take out Li Chengyun's letter first, and then looked at it carefully.
When Lee Seung-yoon wrote this letter, he was actually venting his joy. It was rare for him to defeat the people of the Liu family, he was happy in his heart, and there was no one else to say, so he wrote it all in a letter to Zhou Ming.
But in this letter, he was concerned about Yuxiu's family affairs and his cooperation with the man in black, so there were some vague places in the letter, and Zhou Ming felt that there were many unreasonable things after taking a closer look.
Yan Yuxiu, who I saw in Mingzhou, came to mind again, she was able to bake Mrs. Ji, profit from the Liu family, and then follow her own name and blackmail Aunt Ruyi of the palace, so Li Chengyun, a simple person, is not played by her?
Zhou Ming was afraid that Li Chengyun would be used by Yan Yuxiu, so he hurriedly replied to Li Chengyun to recuperate with peace of mind, and gave Xiaobei an instruction to be optimistic about Li Chengyun.
