But now that Yang Zheng has recited almost two teas, and the sky outside the window has brightened a little, he can't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face, but looked at Yang Zheng curiously, and his heart was really a little strange.

As soon as this idea surged in his mind, he shook his head again, saying that the Ming Dynasty had returned the peasants to farming through the Hongwu Emperor and rewarded them for reclamation; they carried out large-scale resettlement of farmland and military tuns; organized peasants from various localities to build water conservancy; vigorously advocated the cultivation of mulberry, hemp, cotton, and other cash crops and fruit crops, so as to enrich the people in vain and suppress the powerful and powerful; ordered the liberation of slaves and maids; reduced or exempted tax burdens and severely punished corrupt officials; sent people to all parts of the country to measure land and check household registration, and so on. After 30 years of hard work, to the Yongle Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty finally ushered in the prosperous era, but under the prosperous era, the Yongle Emperor did a lot of great things, compiled the "Yongle Canon", Move the capital to Beijing, build Beijing City, send troops to Mongolia five times, go to the West, this is not the same need a lot of silver, if it is not for Zheng He to go to the West to earn a lot of silver taels, the country has long been in turmoil, now the new emperor ascends the throne, there is finally nothing to spend silver, the treasury is rare to have some idle opportunities, but a big Bao'en Temple is still building, spending a lot of silver, the Ming Dynasty from the Hongwu Emperor to establish the capital and Nanjing, after years of hard work, the first city in the world, finally has a population of nearly 200,000, densely populated, the residences are lined up, the hotel is a room, the monthly money is thousands。 In order to collect commercial taxes, the Ming government set up a propaganda department, a government tax department, and a prefecture and county tax bureau and treasury. During the Hongwu period, the commercial tax was relatively light, "thirty and take one", this system has not changed until now, so the tax that can be collected in Nanjing City is not much, plus the tax in the south of the Yangtze River is more than one million silver, just a big Bao'en Temple, there are 500,000 taels of silver missing, just this number, he is sure, causing the prince's anger, which does not make him feel nervous, so he waited patiently.

Yang Zheng glanced at Chen Shan, he didn't understand what he was thinking, but he couldn't do anything about it, besides, this Great Bao'en Temple was built from the sixth year of Yongle, and it was almost ten years before and after, and it was understandable that some of the accounts were a little biased, so he didn't show how shocked he was, just glanced at it lightly, and didn't look at it much.

Chen Shan waited for a long time, and when he saw that there was no effect he wanted, he was depressed and wanted to ask, but the prince didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask boldly, and he was quite in a dilemma for a while.

Yang Zheng pretended to look at it, then closed the fold in his hand, took a sip of the tea soup, after two days of training, I have to say that this Yuhua tea is not an ordinary refreshment, and slowly I actually like this tea soup.

"500,000 taels of silver is not a trivial matter, but this matter, based on Lord Chen's one-sided words, it is difficult to win the trust of Lone, that Zheng Gonggong has been to the West for many years, and has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty, and the silver taels handled from his hands over the years are more than thousands, Lone has never heard of him embezzling a penny of silver without permission, and this 500,000 taels of silver, the amount is not small, if Zheng Gonggong wants to be greedy, then there are many people in Dabao'en Temple, how can he not know?"

Chen Shan's plan today is that the prince will be shocked after seeing the deficit of 500,000 taels of silver, and then be furious, and then arrest Zheng He to ask, but the prince was beyond his expectations, first of all, when the prince saw the number of 500,000 taels, he did not appear as shocked and angry as he imagined, and he didn't even have a symbolic scolding twice, but he was completely calm.

Hearing the prince's words, Chen Shan came back to his senses, bowed down, and said: "Your Highness, these amounts, Weichen has carefully inspected them several times in the household department, but there is no record of these silver taels, if it is not for Zheng Gonggong to swallow it privately, why is this silver not recorded in the accounts of the household department?"

This is a bit red, yes, if he hadn't swallowed it privately, why didn't he see the accounts of the household?" Yang Zheng was a little unhappy in his heart, he had a good impression of Zheng He, and said that the construction of the entire Da Bao'en Temple was comparable to the palace, 500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, if Zheng He is a little corrupt, there is no need to make it so clear, according to Zheng He's means, he will definitely not leave this tail, and besides, this Da Bao'en Temple is still under construction, 500,000 taels of him can be a small account, which is enough to fill the 500,000 silver, so he doesn't believe that the 500,000 taels of silver were embezzled by Zheng He from his heart.

But it's one thing to believe in himself, but this account can't be false, and looking at Chen Shan's appearance, it is obvious that he has put in a lot of effort, if there is no real evidence, he would not dare to impeach a eunuch who has great influence in both the court and the people.

According to his mind, he didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but now he is the crown prince, 500,000 taels of silver is gone, even if he doesn't want to, he can't even ask without showing it, if so, he believes that those officials will not let go of themselves on the second day, moreover, he is not sure if this is a temptation of Chen Shan, you must know that in the Ming Dynasty, civil officials are more wary of eunuchs, more dissatisfied, Zheng He as a eunuch, first in the Jingjing for Yan King Zhu Di set up military exploits, and Yongle two years, obtained the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di in NanjingThe word "Zheng" gave Ma and Zheng surnames, and was in the limelight, and then he was promoted to the eunuch of the internal official eunuch, the official to the fourth grade, the status was second only to the celebrant eunuch, and as a eunuch six times to the West, to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, fame and fortune, this merit overshadowed those who had read the sage books for decades, which inevitably caused the jealousy of some literati.

When Chengzu was here, no one dared to say that Zheng He's was not, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has become a son of heaven and a courtier, and the new emperor trusts the literati more than his father, so that the head that was suppressed by a eunuch in the past began to slowly rise, and at this time they found that this burly eunuch is actually not so inviolable, especially without the feat of going to the West, Zheng He is no longer Zheng He, but an old eunuch who built a big Bao'en Temple in Nanjing. In this way, it is necessary to stand up and express his opinions, even if the emperor is unhappy, he cares about his father's face, and he can't do anything to Zheng He, but those eunuchs can always suppress it?"

Yang Zheng secretly thought about this possibility in his heart, and felt more and more that this matter was not so simple, if Zheng He didn't embezzle the silver, it would be fine, if it was corrupt, even if it was not 500,000 taels, it was one tael, these literati would not let him go.

Thinking of this, I still have to ask, if I am too fair and quiet, these people who have complained about the eunuchs for a long time will inevitably quarrel and have no fun, and it will be me who will cry at that time.

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but worry, although he didn't believe that Zheng He would embezzle the 500,000 taels of silver, but the household department clearly gave the silver, but he didn't see the accounts, and he couldn't help but have some doubts, Dabao'en Temple was built for decades, and it was not impossible to fish in troubled waters.

After hesitating, he took another sip of tea and soup, Yang Zheng immediately relieved again, after all, he was a person in his previous life, through various written records, there has never been a record of Zheng He's corruption, which is enough to explain a qiē, and some time ago, the encounter with Zheng He on the bank of the Qinhuai River, that long talk, let him understand that this navigator who is over the age of sixtieth year, is still insisting on the dream of going to the West, that is to say, Zheng He is at least still working hard for the West, so it is even more impossible to do the thing of embezzling silver and being caught, a lot of financial resources, and the Great Bao'en Temple was not built by Zheng He at the beginning, but by another eunuch Wang Fu was mainly responsible, but Wang Fu embezzled craftsmen to do other things, the project was repeatedly delayed, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered Zheng He to take over the matter, so there are some errors and omissions in the accounts, and it is not to blame?"

After thinking about the whole thing alone, he felt more and more that Zheng He could not be corrupt, and when he was about to express his opinion, he could hear it

There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and a eunuch trotted in, I don't know if it was because he ran too quickly, or the climate in this palace was warmer, the little eunuch's forehead overflowed with a lot of sweat, he didn't care about wiping the sweat off his forehead, so he knelt down to Yang Zheng and saluted.

Yang Zheng was extremely tired of the ancients' etiquette of kneeling when he saw an official, waved his hand a little unhappily, and said, "Get up, don't kneel on such a cold day?"

The little eunuch frowned slightly, showed a hint of joy on his face, and quickly stood up.

Yang Zheng realized that this little eunuch was none other than the little eunuch who led him into the palace two days ago, and he couldn't help but sigh that this palace was too small.

"What's the matter?" Yang Zheng asked lightly.

Chen Shan on the side also turned his head curiously to look at the eunuch and listened attentively.

The little eunuch sighed slightly, and said, "Back to Your Highness, the prince of the Nanjing garrison is asking to see you outside the palace!"
