Wu Zheng felt a pang in his heart, and felt irritated, this kid is gagging me first, he wants to borrow my mouth to cover up his sin of denying his relatives.

Wu Zheng's eyes were even colder, "Since you are a member of the Ming Society, and you also believe in the concept of loyalty to the country and the nation, you naturally understand the truth that the country is great, the nation is second, and the family is light...... Knowingly asking, is it easy to be a deceitful king? ”

Chen Qicai heard that he said: "If the subordinates want to accuse the prince's relatives of being corrupt and bending the law and doing illegal things...... What should the prince do? ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, he and Chen Shoujie did not have any kinship, at this moment, Wu Zheng's thoughts were spinning, could it be that Xiaomei and others had something wrong?

Wu Zheng's consternation, in Chen Qicai's eyes, thought that Wu Zheng actually knew the facts of the case, or had heard about it, so he remembered his father's words, and not only worried.

It's not that he's afraid of death, but he also thinks about implicating his family.

The two looked at each other stunned, for a long time, for a long time.

In the end, Wu Zheng took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, "Let's talk!" ”

Chen Qicai stiffened his neck and said, "The prince has not answered the questions of his subordinates yet. ”

Wu Zheng became angry, but he still kept his expression motionless, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you have real evidence, this king will deal with it impartially...... While there is no guarantee that the law will not be forgiving, it will certainly prevent the continuation of wrongdoing...... Are you satisfied with such an answer? ”

Chen Qicai was stunned, Wu Zheng's words were beyond his expectations, shouldn't it be "the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people"?

"The prince forgives the sin, to be honest, the prince's answer is not satisfactory to his subordinates."

Chen Qicai's toughness made Wu Zheng inexplicably feel good.

Wu Zheng has always believed that only capable subordinates will be thorns.

Since Chen Qicai faces himself and dares to be tough, he must be some capable people.

So Wu argued: "Since you are not satisfied, you can not talk about it, and this king forgives you for the crime of lying in vain...... Stand down. ”

Chen Qicai was stunned again, this performance was right, it was completely unreasonable.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Qicai arched his hand and said: "I still have to talk about it, this matter is related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, if my subordinates don't talk about it, it is tantamount to committing a crime against the country, the prince and the world." ”

Wu Zheng's good feelings in his heart grew, which was very strange, in fact, Chen Qicai didn't do anything, and he didn't say anything, Wu Zheng's liking and dislike for him changed like this.

"Then you can talk about it." Wu Zheng sat down slowly.

"Please ask the prince to promise the next thing, that is, after the subordinates denounce it, all the consequences will be borne by the subordinates...... Woe to the family. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, so strict [www.biqugetv.xyz] heavy?

Looking Chen Qicai up and down, Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"The subordinates want to accuse the Financial Secretary Mo of obsession, colluding and colluding with the northerners, intercepting and transferring raw materials, and seeking huge profits."

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded.

……。

Mo obsessively entered the palace with a spring breeze on his face.

There is no need to report it, this is his exclusive privilege.

Although Mo Zhinian is still worried in his heart, in any case, compared with the happy event that his granddaughter is about to become the side princess, everything is no longer important.

When Mo Zhinian walked into Wu Zheng's study, Wu Zhengzheng confessed to Ma Shiying, "Strictly control the enclosure of officials, businessmen, and wealthy households in the new city and its surroundings, and if one is found, one will be investigated and punished, and a heavy penalty will be imposed...... It was instructed that the household registration must be strictly checked when handling the land deed. ”

Mo Zhizhi heard it at the door, and couldn't help but shiver.

He took a deep breath, squeezed out a smiling face, and then walked in by roll call, "Don't be obsessed with seeing the prince." ”

Wu Zheng heard this, raised his head and smiled, "Is Mo Lao here?" ”

Then he got up, grabbed Mo Nian's arm, and led him to a chair and sat down.

Ma Shiying smiled enviously: "Below the General's Mansion, I'm afraid that few people have such treatment as Mo Lao." ”

Wu Zheng turned around and scolded with a smile: "Dare to love...... Do you also want this king to support you? ”

Ma Shiying hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, Ma doesn't have that blessing." ”

However, Mo Obsession, who was envied by Ma Shiying, his face stiffened, and he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

"Why is Mo Lao here?" Wu Zheng returned to his seat and asked casually.

"Back to the prince's words, there are two things for the old man, one is that according to the deployment of the prince's previous meeting, the budget for the reorganization and expansion of the Northern Expeditionary Army has come out, and the new number of troops is more than 67,000 people, of course, a large part of them do not need to be recruited, and naturally there is no need to pay ...... expenses."

"Mo Lao, are you trying to annoy me?" Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Old Mo is doing things, I don't worry...... Just say the total. ”

"Thank you for your trust...... The total amount is about 5,400,000 taels of silver. In addition, the compensation for the casualties of this battle is also more than 2.5 million taels. The ransom money of the previous Qing court, plus the balance in the treasury, was still short of about two million taels. ”

Wu Zheng said: "Didn't the two million taels I transferred from my little sister just reach it?" ”

"Lord Wang, this silver, the old decay has been transferred to the military workshop, whether it is the supply of firearms, tonics, or equipment for the new army, this silver cannot be owed."

"Yes." Wu Zheng nodded, suddenly laughed again, and pointed at Mo Zhi and said to Ma Shiying, "Look, I just said, Mo Lao will definitely come to me for silver...... Well, I'm not wrong, right? ”

Ma Shiying smiled, and Mo Zhinian's face stiffened again.

Wu Zheng patted his head and said: "This silver is really not spent, millions of taels, and it is gone in a blink of an eye before it is hot." You have to think about it...... By the way, Mo Lao, these days, Chen Qianshan hasn't sent some money and goods? ”

Mo obsessively glanced at Ma Shiying.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Lao Ma knows about this, Mo Lao doesn't need to worry about it." ”

Mo was obsessed with this and said: "Lord Wang, this is also the second thing that the old man has come here. It's been almost half a year, and Wang Deren hasn't sent money and goods yet. It used to be once every two months, then it changed to once every three months, and now it's five months...... Lord Wang, Wang Deren is even if there is a change. ”

The smile on Wu Zheng's face gradually solidified.

Ma Shiying said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and if they have been hanging overseas for a long time, it is inevitable that they will have different hearts...... Lord Wang, you still have to take precautions. ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about him for now, let's discuss how to make up the money." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Mo Zhi and said: "Mo Lao, this time in the capital, the powerful and wealthy businessmen involved in the case were confiscated, and the imperial court has 10 million taels in the account, I think the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce did not pay too much cash, or will I temporarily transfer 2 million taels to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Mo Zhi nodded and said: "The old man also thinks so, but it is the end of July right now, and there are still a few months before the autumn harvest, so I am afraid that it will take at least three months to turnover." ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "You can't lose the Chamber of Commerce, so let's pay interest at the loan interest rate of the bank." ”
