Chapter 229: The Third Meeting

"What do you mean about this?" The sentence that Lu Fang asked was obviously a continuation of the topic that Zhang Juzheng had just asked, but he didn't look at anyone when he asked, but looked at the Zhu ink cartridge on the table in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"You can't make a problem with this!" Yan Shifan first stared at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and then faced Lu Fang, "There are indeed thirty warships, costing three million, which were built at the same time in two factories in Zhejiang and Fujian. Originally, these 30 ships were built for the military department for naval warfare, and later 10 ships were used to transport timber for several halls in the palace, and the remaining 20 ships were temporarily borrowed by the city ship. This matter should be reported to the palace. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Fang looked at the few celebrant eunuchs below.

This is, of course, knowingly asked. Several eunuchs met their gazes.

"That's the thing." The great eunuch under LΓΌ Fang replied, "At that time, the city was to transport silk, tea, and porcelain to Persia, India, and other places in exchange for silver, and since there were not enough ships, twenty ships were borrowed. Later, because of the trouble on the sea, this batch of goods was transferred to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and transported to Beijing. ”

Lu Fang: "That's clear. Ten ships were used to transport timber for the main hall of the palace, and twenty ships were used by the city to transport goods to the imperial court. Although the account is counted on the head of the military department, the money is still used on the right path. Now that several of the main halls in the palace that were burned have been repaired, Lord Yan, your Ministry of Engineering will return the ten ships to the Ministry of War. I also say hello to the city ship, if you lack a ship, you can build another ship, don't occupy the warship of the military department. The thirty ships were returned to the Ministry of War, and the expenditure of three million taels was justified in the account of the Ministry of War. ”

Gao Gong froze there with the three million taels ticket in his hand.

After the veil.

Tan Ke stared at Emperor Jiajing with burning eyes. Emperor Jiajing shook his head and made a "I have been" mouth shape to Tan Ke. Then, he picked up the chime pestle in the copper chime, hesitated for a moment, and finally knocked it on the copper chime.

The crisp sound of the copper chime sounded, and the characters of Yan Song's faction breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"The three million votes are ready to be signed." Lu Fang raised her voice and announced loudly.

In the live broadcast room of the infinite world, many viewers were confused-

"Has anyone told this baby what the situation is now, why does this baby feel that he can't understand it?"

"Clams? Aren't you in front, I can't understand it, this is Yan Song's party and Xu Jie's faction wrestling their wrists! Zhang Juzheng said that last year, the military department spent 3 million taels to build a ship, but he did not see the ship, which means that the money was misappropriated. Yan Shifan made up a reason, and the key reason was that it was on the side of Jiajing, so it was impossible for Xu Jie's faction to chase and entangle this issue. Yan Song's faction won this battle. ”

"It's complicated......"

"Did the Ministry of War really spend three million taels to build thirty warships, and then use them to transport timber and treasure?"

"How is that possible! Yan Shifan just said that. These people are the top ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to know very well what is going on. And now that Yan Shifan has moved the emperor out, no matter how much the Xu Jie's faction does not deal with Yan Song and his party, it is impossible to slap the emperor in the face. ”

……

Tan Ke looked at the explanation in the barrage, and he agreed again and again in his heart. As the audience said, this is just a method of Yan Shifan's tiger skin, although it is so simple that even a three-year-old child can see it, but it works.

Tan Ke didn't pay more attention to Jiajing, because he knew that this emperor must be embarrassed now.

It was not only Jiajing who was embarrassed, but the high arch was also very uncomfortable. You don't need to look at Yan Shifan's villain's dezhi gaze, everyone knows that they lost this round of high arching.

Gao Gong was obviously upset, holding the ticket and still frozen.

"Let's sign it." Xu Jie took the initiative to take the ticket from Gao Gong's hand, respectfully signed his name, and then handed it to Gao Gong. When Gao Gong took the ticket, Xu Jie's hand deliberately stopped.

Gao Gong knew that this was reminding himself, so he tried his best to adjust his mentality, but his hand was still a little trembling when he signed, so that the last point of the word "arch" was still a little too thick and black.

Lu Fang raised her voice and announced loudly: "Batch red! ”

The big eunuch who was standing at the end of the big case of the celebrant immediately walked to the high arch case, took the ticket and stepped back, and handed it to Lu Fang with both hands.

Lu Fang picked up the red pen on the case and approved the red on the ticket -- it was approved.

Batch red is a unique characteristic product under the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, which is also the origin of the name of the eunuch who seals the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor. It was precisely because of their participation in such important political activities that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty had an important political status. It was only in the Ming generation that there were so many powerful eunuchs.

"What other tickets are there that you haven't signed?" When Lu Fang criticized the red and asked this sentence again, there was already a trace of coldness in his voice.

"One sum is the public funds for repairing the river in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Gao Gong did not hide the injustice in his heart, "The Ministry of Industry of Baimaohe and Wusongjiang in Jiangsu reported two million taels at the beginning of the year, and this time the settlement is three million and half a million taels. The Xin'anjiang Ministry of Industry in Zhejiang reported 1 million taels at the beginning of the year, and this time the settlement was 2 million taels. The total deficit of the overexpenditure amounted to 2.5 million taels. ”

Tan Ke's ears moved when he heard this. In this modern society, there are also tricks to do big projects, but they will not exceed them, but make a fuss in the money given above. This Xiuhe public fund dares to play with such a broken rule, it can only be said that Yan Song and his party think that they know Jiajing's intentions, and they are indeed lawless.

Yan Shifan: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are important places for the imperial court to pay taxes, and the public funds for river repairs are overrun, and the river yamen has detailed accounts to check, and the river supervision is all sent by the palace. ”

"What else hasn't been signed?" Lu Fang no longer allowed Gao Gong to reply, and then asked.

Gao Gong: "There is also the payment for the timber for repairing the palace in the palace." At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Industry's budget was 3 million taels, and this time the settlement was as high as 7 million taels. Deficit of four million taels! ”

"I knew that if you calculated it, it would be counted on the emperor's head!" Yan Shifan had already exuded murderous aura when he said this.

"What I'm talking about is that the Ministry of Industry has a deficit of four million taels, and I didn't say that I shouldn't repair the palace in the palace!" Gao Gong knew that he couldn't help but fight back, "Xiao Ge Lao, if you want to kill someone, just do it directly, there is no need to add such a crime!" ”

"Gao Suqing!" This time, it was Xu Jie who sternly interrupted Gao Gong's words, "This is a public discussion, no one has added guilt to you, and the emperor has not added guilt to you." When the Ministry of Household asks questions, the Ministry of Industry can explain it clearly, what is the crime? Xiao Ge Lao, the bill settled as usual does not match the budget list, and the household department can raise it, so there is no need to be angry. ”

This is indeed irrefutable, Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song with anger. Yan Song closed his eyes slightly. Yan Shifan looked at Lu Fang again.

Lu Fang: "Elder Xu Ge is right. Master Yan will talk about this expense. ”
