(Girls' Literature)

Qin Li stepped forward and called, "Lord Wang." ”

Chu Shaoyuan nodded, he was really a little tired of him in his heart, and planned to perfunctory him and go back to the inner house, but the next moment Qin Li's words made him look solemn.

Qin Li said: "Lord Wang, I received an excerpt from the household department today, Jiangnan's tax revenue is forty percent more than last year, but Chuangui's tax revenue this year is thirty percent less than last year. ”

Chu Shaoyuan frowned, he didn't ask about local government affairs, otherwise he would be much busier than now, he asked, "But what is the reason?"

Qin Li would not say this to him for no reason, after all, although he can raise his own private soldiers, he can't manage local government affairs, and even if he does, he will install his own henchmen, rather than directly grasp and manage them in his hands.

Qin Li nodded: "This year, several big tea merchants have been dry and rainless in the past few months, and the amount of tea produced is much less than last year. ”

Chu Shaoyuan took the tea and drank it, did not ask him, but waited quietly for the following.

Qin Li cautiously looked up at Chu Shaoyuan, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of her made her daunting, not just about his appearance, but just sitting here lightly, there was a momentum that could not be underestimated, making people always forget his age.

He felt a pang in his heart, took his eyes off Chu Shaoyuan's face, and said in a low voice: "The prince may not know, the tax matter is small, but if the tax matter can arouse the praise of the saint, presumably this year's food and salary will be much easier, I heard that the household department has moved out 500,000 taels of military salaries and intends to distribute them to the guards, there are hundreds of guards in the Manchu Dynasty, which one is not staring at it?"

Chu Shaoyuan's face sank, he knew the matter, but there was another shortcut to find before, so he didn't care about these, and now when he heard that the household department could even out 500,000 taels of silver as military salary, he was as stable as Mount Tai, and he couldn't help but move the mind of snatching, raised his eyes and looked at Qin Li and said in a deep voice: "The military salary approved before has not arrived?"

In fact, Qin Li had just talked to Chu Shaoyuan, and he was not in charge of military supplies, how could he know so clearly, it was just that he had always been good at socializing, and the officials of Sichuan and Guizhou were basically under his control, and no matter what things were, he could never bypass him, so he also knew a little bit about these things.

He shook his head, but nodded again.

Chu Shaoyuan knew that this matter still had to be grinded, and his bright eyes darkened, as if they were pressed into a ball of light and dimmed.

Qin Li said: "Although Ning Guogong and the fourth prince are uncles and nephews, but Ning Guogong can't help in Sichuan and Gui at all, seeing that he has to bring the four princes, where are the four princes willing to take care of Ning Guogong all the time, although this time although the military salary was paid, but most of them are miscellaneous grains such as soybeans and sorghum, which are not only rough and unpalatable, but the key is that the soldiers are prone to diarrhea after eating, where can they take care of the drill if they have diarrhea?"

This is really tactful, some of the inside information Qin Li did not say all the inside, he knew that the fourth prince was not doing well, he couldn't tell Prince An the truth, some things are always the most angry when they find out, so that Prince An can also know that he is not a political envoy with one hand, these princes and nobles are most disgusted by people who cover the sky with one hand in the place, a few years ago when approaching King Rui and King Qi, he suffered a lot of losses, the so-called eat a trench and grow a wisdom, he will no longer be the fool who said something before。

Chu Shaoyuan frowned, not that he felt how hateful the fourth child was, but he felt that Ning Guogong could endure it, and it was really rare that he didn't come to mess with him, the prince, again.

He thought for a while and said, "Since the taxes have been collected, let's report it earlier, and I will handle the military salary, and you don't need to worry about it." ”

Qin Li originally came here to solve Chu Shaoyuan's matter, where was he willing to let Chu Shaoyuan take care of it, he hurriedly said: "Does the prince have acquaintances in the household department? In the early years, when my family was still in Yunfu City, I was a neighbor with Sun Zhihuan, and I also memorized books with Sun Zhihuan when I was a child, but it was a pity that he entered the office late." ”

Chu Shaoyuan's eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, "I didn't know that you still had such a relationship with him." ”

This can be understood as Qin Li and Sun Zhihuan have a different kind of friendship, so he can contribute to some things in the household department.

Chu Shaoyuan was originally a little impatient, but now after listening to Qin Li's hints, he couldn't help but have a little change in his opinion of Qin Li, it seems that this person is not a person who only thinks about what to ask for from him, but more to tell himself that he is valuable.

That's fine, the province is always surrounded by a bunch of dispensable waste, a real corpse vegetarian meal, no ability at all, only know how to slap the horse, and everything has to be arranged by him.

Qin Li smiled a little shyly, "It's not a relationship, Lord Sun entered the company late because of his family, but he has survived all these years." Speaking of this, he stopped, and some wanted to scold himself, how could he be so open-mouthed? Isn't this saying that the emperor can't know people clearly?

Chu Shaoyuan didn't think as much as he did, he just wanted to get the military supplies as soon as possible, otherwise when the weather cooled down in a few days, I was afraid that the soldiers would starve, and what sorghum and soybeans were really not a good thing, they were fed to horses, how could they let the soldiers eat those things? That is, Ning Guogong himself did not care for the people under his hands, and he couldn't help but think more about his people, otherwise he couldn't even guarantee food and clothing, and who else would be willing to follow with all his heart?

Thinking about it, he said a little perfunctorily: "Sun Zhihuan took over Liang Xingyong's position, originally Liang Xingyong was not very proficient in the position of prime minister, and Sun Zhihuan was just barely coping with it. ”

Chu Shaoyuan said lightly, but he thought in his heart, if it weren't for Chen Jichang, I was afraid that Qin Li would not be in such a situation now.

Qin Li listened to his words, his eyes couldn't help but heat, the teacher was naturally a very powerful person.

Thinking that his parents died early, although the elders in the clan did not abandon him, they didn't care much, only the teacher treated him as his own, teaching the sinister officialdom with one hand and one foot, and the teacher treated him like a parent, but he couldn't let the teacher enjoy the blessing of a disciple for a day.

But fortunately, he stopped the emotion in time and said in a low voice: "The teacher is implicated, with the qualifications of the teacher, there is no need to be involved in the inheritance, but at that time, the abolished King Qi relied on the teacher to enlighten him, and he forced the teacher to ......."

Chu Shaoyuan frowned, and immediately let go, what he didn't like the most was to blame his failures on others, although sometimes the situation was pressing, but before deciding, if he didn't plan the back road first, let the wind and rain come and be in a hurry, he was not a smart person in the end.

However, he didn't plan to say this to Qin Li, since he had the intention to use Qin Li, there were some things that he had to get by.

"Since the matter is over, there is no need to think about it, what matters now is the immediate matter, how sure are you about the food and salary?" Chu Shaoyuan reminded lightly.

Qin Li hurriedly replied: "Although I don't dare to guarantee that I can get half of it, at least I can get it for a hundred thousand taels." ”

Chu Shaoyuan's expression was uneasy: "How can this be enough for the food and salary of the two provinces!"

Qin Li was dumbfounded by Chu Shaoyuan's words for a while, even if it was these hundreds of thousands of taels, he poured his face to ask for it, and gave it to others Sun Zhihuan Xu would not agree, but he gave him words, because Sun Zhihuan had a friendship with him before, although this friendship has gone through so many years, the two have not met from time to time, they only communicate letters, but their childhood love is still there, and Sun Zhihuan's position as the elder of the pavilion He also helps, so he will naturally take care of himself.

But it didn't seem to be able to reach Prince An's goal, he thought about it, and said: "The rest can think of other methods, and you can get through this level after all." ”

Chu Shaoyuan glanced at him and didn't say anything more, but he already understood in his heart that Qin Fei was taking care of the food and salary on his own body, and nodded: "Since this is the case, I have to discuss it again." ”

Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief, did not forget the purpose of coming before, and smiled apologetically at Chu Shaoyuan: "At the previous banquet for the little girl's engagement, Neiko did not entertain her well, which made the princess angry, and Neiko was very frightened, and she always wanted to come and apologize to the princess in person. ”

As the old saying goes, stretch out your hand and don't hit people with smiling faces, besides, Qin Li twisted and circled in such a big circle, because he was afraid that Prince An would be annoyed and annoyed and say something in Prince An's ear, so that Prince An would be separated from him, and it would be really tricky at that time.

Chu Shaoyuan smiled: "The princess has not been in good health these days, so let's talk about it when she is relaxed in a few days." ”

If you want to easily expose the past, you also have to see if Wanwan is willing to see Mrs. Qin.

Qin Li had heard that Prince and Princess An had been recuperating at home since she came back from the banquet, and now she had no doubts, so she just shirked her words and said with a smile: "This is natural, I don't dare to disturb the princess's peace." ”

Chu Shaoyuan laughed and brought tea to drink, it is always easier to talk about things with smart people.

……

A few days later, there was progress in the matter of food and salary, Qin Li returned home from the yamen to comfort his wife, when he saw the letterhead sent by the staff, his heart was overjoyed, and he rushed to Taiping Town without even changing his regular clothes.

Mrs. Qin knew that this matter would definitely not be closed, so she picked it up casually, and followed Qin Li to visit.

And Chanyi was in the yard at the moment with the newly dried rose petals grinding into powder little by little, preparing rouge, when she heard the maid's announcement, saying that Mrs. Qin was waiting outside, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this time she didn't even hand over the flower post, and people came directly to the door.
