Chapter 190: Huitong
In return, Mrs. Zhen will use the money bank she opened to operate, and these silver tickets stamped with the seal of the government will be whitewashed for the county guard, and they will be exchanged for silver with ordinary ticket numbers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this way, how much to spend and how to spend it will be operated by the county guard who covers the sky in Yangzhou City.
The silver ticket of Huitong Money Bank is easy to use, and the county keeper knows it well.
Not only in Xixia, Mrs. Zhen also opened the money village to Jian'an and Kangnan, and realized the exchange unification of the three countries from herself. The county keeper's family was holding the silver ticket of Huitong, and they were more happy than holding the silver of the white flowers.
Over the years, since taking the line of Qian Weizhen, the county guard has scavenged a lot of silver from the treasury by digging rivers, paving roads and building bridges every year, and has also filled Qian Weizhen's pocket.
Seeing that Madame was reluctant, the county keeper patted her hand and coaxed, "Madam, this is a mutual benefit. If you think about it, there are more monks and less porridge, and how many people are waiting for the allocation of the household department to be delayed, and the money will come to us. We and Mr. Qian have to pay attention to the meaning of the word. ”
The county keeper pouted, knowing that she could only say that. It's strange that today's husband is impatient, if this can't reach Mrs. Zhen tomorrow, the next Yangzhou government's appropriation will not be so smooth.
When the gossip started, Mrs. County Shou put her lips to her husband's ear and asked in a low voice: "What is the origin of Mrs. Zhen? I don't think she has the ability to open a money village to such a scale, there must be a master behind her back to operate for her, and she just sits back and enjoys it." ”
Mrs. Zhen's words were shallow, and her hair was soft on the county guard's face, with a coquettishness that no one had in front of her: "Mrs. Zhen must have been raised by Mrs. Qian, and she was specially placed in Yangzhou to launder money for him." ”
The county guard's wife bathed when she came, and there was a faint jasmine fragrance in her hair, which made the county guard feel distracted, and she just wanted to finish the matter early and take the lady back to the room. He pressed a finger to his wife's lips, made a silent gesture, and whispered, "Lord Qian is also something you can arrange?" ”
In his own house, it was a heavily guarded outer study, and the county guard's wife took the county guard's worries to heart, only blaming her husband for not giving her face, and her lips curled slightly.
The county guard's wife was originally a house-filler, more than ten years younger than the county guard, an old husband and a young wife, and she was like a baby. Seeing that his wife was unhappy, the county guard didn't dare to say any more, and coaxed: "I said it to you, you can only rot in your own stomach." The owner of this money bank, I privately thought that it was not Mrs. Zhen at all, but Lord Qian himself. Calling Mrs. Zhen, but looking at Lord Qian's face, she is just an outer room, not even Mrs. Ru. ”
Coaxed his wife, the county guard stuffed the official documents and silver tickets into the dark grid, dragged them and hugged them, and walked to the backyard with his wife. Mrs. County Shou half-pushed, and said angrily: "People still have to rush back to the post house, what is the master doing." ”
The county keeper said something vaguely, and the county keeper's wife giggled, her voice becoming more and more sultry.
The night was heavy and dewy, and Xia Yuzhi was inconvenient to find Murong Wei, so the private conversation between the county guard and the husband and wife was transmitted from Xia Lanxin to Murong Wei's ears.
At that time, it was late at night, and there was only one light like a bean.
Murong Wei had already taken off her hairpin and changed into a bed robe with violet blue painted hibiscus floral patterns, and was leaning on the couch flipping through the books. Hearing that Xia Lanxin had sent a message, saying that she had no sleep at night, could she find her to play a game, so she immediately sat up in her clothes and ordered to invite Xia Lanxin over.
Xia Lanxin sleeps early on weekdays, but in fact, she has rested, and she is aroused by her brother Yusheng. She listened to her brother's words in her ear with sleepy eyes, and her eyebrows rose in anger.
Eating the court and raising such a moth.
Xia Lanxin asked her brother why he didn't immediately set up this Yangzhou county guard, Xia Yuzhi said in a deep voice: "I'm as angry as you, but I can't convict others with just a few words of gossip." Naturally, we must first check the origin of this Mrs. Zhen, and then see what she has to do with Qian Weizhen. It is also necessary to ensure whether the imperial court has issued this official document, and it is necessary to see how much money the household department has allocated. ”
Emperor Chongming has always been suspicious of money, but there is no real evidence in his hands. He also asked Xia Yuzhi to secretly investigate the property of Qian Weizhen's family in Beijing, but only found out that it was roughly in harmony with his Yulu.
Both the monarchs and ministers underestimated Qian Weizhen's methods. He has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he can make the account books beautiful, and he can also clean his house.
Who would have thought that it would not be possible to check it all over, but it turned out that Qian Weizhen's loophole was not in Beijing at all. He planted people in Yangzhou to launder money, and used Huitong's silver bills to transfer the money to the other two countries, which was to put more industries, and also made Emperor Chongming untraceable, this is really a cunning fox.
Hearing such secret information, Xia Yuzhi did not dare to delay. While repairing books and newspapers with Emperor Chongming, he hurriedly ordered someone to arouse his sister and ask her to go to Murong Wei immediately to ventilate.
The two played chess, and Xia Lanxin concisely recounted Xiu's harvest tonight.
Murong Wei held a white piece between her slender fingers, feeling the slightly cool temperature of the chess piece, and her face became depressed. She called Yingluo and instructed, "I want to have a good night, play chess with the lord of Xiying all night, go and order the kitchen to bring some supper, and then you can rest in peace." ”
Yingluo took the order and left. Because it was night, she put on a moon-white cloak and prepared to go through the verandah to the kitchen to spread the word.
In the outer room, the tassel had already rested, and because of Xia Lanxin's late-night visit, he got up and waited, and he was very reluctant. Listening to Yingluo's words from Murong Wei, knowing that she could go back to the room to rest, Tassel was happy, covered her lips with her hand and yawned, and then looked at Yingluo, who was about to go out through her cloak, quite gloating.
Tassel smiled lightly: "In this case, I will go back to the room to sleep first." Naturally, the kitchen bothered the girl to run around. The night is dewy and the girl is careful of catching a cold. ”
Seeing that Yingluo just smiled and walked out, her face was as calm as ever, and the tassel was not angry, she twisted her waist slightly, and hired Tingting to go to her bedroom.
Yingluo was keeping vigil outside, and Murong Wei and Xia Lanxin carefully deliberated, feeling that the words of the county guard sounded weird, but they were really a little credible.
It's a pity not to talk about the two of them, even Xia Yuzhi doesn't know the appropriation of the household department, and I don't know how much silver the imperial court has allocated to Yangzhou over the years, and how much silver has been put into Qian Weizhen's arms from the household curve.
The extravagance of the life of the county guard in Yangzhou can be glimpsed from the furnishings of the post house and the food in the past few days, which is not the ability of a small county.
Since that day, Murong Wei occasionally praised the coral tree a few words, and the county guard's wife thought that those furnishings had entered the eyes of the nobles, and she also thought that Murong Wei would return to Beijing in the future, and she would send this coral tree to her, so that the nobles could take a high look.
After all, two people who are well versed in the way of accumulating money can't be calm, and they don't have the clumsy means to hide money like money, so they blindly show off their wealth, and unconsciously bring the matter of greed for ink to the surface. (To be continued.) )
