Li Baiyu looked at Liu Mingzhi curiously, looking at the ledger, waving all kinds of weird symbols on the papyrus, and didn't know what his brother-in-law was doing.

However, in order to get the answer he wanted, Li Baiyu sat quietly on the chair and did not disturb Liu Mingzhi's movements.

Liu Mingzhi, who was about half a pillar of incense, put down the pen in his hand and stretched: "Someone!" ”

"Squire-sama, what do you command?"

"Is Lord Cao of the Du Branch Division on duty in the yazhong?"

"Lord Hui, Lord Cao is not on duty today, it is the turn of Lord Cao to repair Mu, if Lord Shilang has something urgent, the official will immediately go to pass Lord Cao to come!"

"Tang Minghao, Lord Tang is not here?"

"Lord Tang is not in the ya, it seems that he has gone to Hanzhou to deal with an official business, and the officials are not very clear!"

"Who else is on duty in the yamen?"

"Lord Shilang, Lord Shangshu Jiang seems to be dealing with some old accounts!"

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and waved his hand to the servant: "The official knows, you go down first!" ”

"Yes, the lower official will retire!"

After the official left, Li Baiyu looked at Liu Mingzhi puzzled: "Lord Liu, what did you see?" ”

"Your Highness, please sit here for a while, and the minister will come when he goes!"

"This ......" The prince hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "I hope Lord Liu won't let Lone wait too long!" ”

"Of course, the minister went down first!"

Walking out of his office room, Liu Mingzhi walked towards Jiang Yuanming's room, the head of the household, and gently buttoned the door bolt, and Jiang Yuanming's angry voice came from the room.

"Come in!"

"Xiaguan Liu Mingzhi has seen Lord Jiang!"

Jiang Yuanming, who was immersed in the abacus, heard Liu Mingzhi's voice, happily made a mark on the paper, and then put down the brush in his hand.

"Lord Liu, it's really strange that you would come to the yamen office during the cultivation period, the sun is coming out in the west?"

"My lord said that I laughed, the lower officials are actually very diligent, but my lord, you always look at the lower officials with prejudice, which is very unfair to the lower officials!"

Jiang Yuanming shook his head helplessly, patted his waist and walked out: "You, if it weren't for the fact that you do have the ability to sit in the position of the left waiter, the official would have to participate in your dereliction of duty, so sit down!" ”

Knowing that Jiang Yuanming was joking, Liu Mingzhi didn't mind, and sat down on the next position: "My lord, you are really happy to participate in the lower official, the idle marquis of the current official at home, three poles on the sun, sleeping on the branches on the moon, wouldn't it be better to be a carefree lord, the lord works hard, it's not easy to be a lord!" ”

Jiang Yuanming pecked a sip of tea: "If Your Majesty hears this, you have to reprimand you for being muddy and can't support the wall, let's say, what are you doing here?" If you just miss the old horseman, the official, I don't believe that I have this charm! ”

After the joke was finished, Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly, took out the account book from his arms, and put it on the table between the two.

Jiang Yuanming looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise: "What does Lord Liu mean?" Why did you get so many ledgers to be delivered? ”

Liu Mingzhi patted the account book, opened the pages he had folded and pushed them in front of Jiang Yuanming: "My lord, from the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the autumn of the fifty-eighth year of Xuande to the sixth day of the seventh month of the first autumn of the first year of Ruian, there were six million seven hundred and twenty-three thousand four hundred and seventy-two taels of silver in the treasury for nearly a year, and the whereabouts of the more than six million taels of silver were unknown, and the Du Branch Division did not indicate the whereabouts of the more than six million taels of silver, so the more than six million taels of silver could not disappear out of thin air, right?" What do you say, my lord? ”

Jiang Yuanming looked at Liu Mingzhi with a complicated expression: "Alas, it will take seven days for the thirty gentlemen of the annual account degree branch to be settled, you seem to have come to the yamen today, right?" ”

"Half an hour to be exact!"

"Half an hour to settle the score?"

"Almost!"

Jiang Yuanming sighed deeply: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, what the official said is right, you are really suitable to sit in the position of Zuo Shilang, why bother with you raising so many accounts in the household department?" ”

"Don't don't, don't, my lord, you can be gracious, the lower officials don't have the ability to replace the thirty account rooms, they have a specialization in the art industry, or let them do their own things, don't be embarrassed by the lower officials!"

"Yes, the official didn't count on you, otherwise with the situation that you have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, wouldn't the household department be in chaos, and you are here for the matter of six million taels of silver, right?"

"If the lower officials expected it to be good, the six million taels of silver that had no place to go have nothing to do with Your Majesty, right?"

Jiang Yuanming nodded lightly: "Not bad!" It really has a lot to do with Your Majesty! ”

"Have you bought timber for building ships and trained people to go to sea?"

Jiang Yuanming pondered for a long time before nodding: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Your Majesty specially instructed this official not to publicize this matter, but I didn't expect you to guess the whereabouts of the silver!" You wait! ”

"Good!"

Jiang Yuanming got up and walked to the bookshelf full of books behind him, and groped for a long time before taking out an account and putting it in front of Liu Mingzhi: "This is the whereabouts of six million taels of silver, take a look, but don't publicize this matter!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials still understand!"

Liu Mingzhi carefully looked at the account book in his hand, and it was a half-pillar of incense Liu Mingzhi looked at Jiang Yuanming with a strange expression: "My lord, the silver in this is enough to lose nearly 1.3 million taels, you don't see it at all?" ”

Jiang Yuanming's face changed drastically, and he directly grabbed the account book in Liu Mingzhi's hand and looked through it: "Impossible, this official specially ordered ten account offices to check and calculate three times, and there is no mistake at all!" ”

Liu Mingzhi smashed his mouth: "There is no problem with the account, but it doesn't mean that you can't short, you can calculate the amount of wood, the number of craftsmen, and the materials on the thirteenth page, the goods of 170,000 taels of silver, the craftsmen of 70,000 taels of silver, but the consumption of materials is 284,000 taels, of which 44,000 taels of short expenditure is spent where?" ”

"Pages 14, 17, 22......... The sum of the front and back is as high as 1.3 million taels, and if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself, and the average of the twelve state capitals will deduct more than 200,000 taels of silver per person! ”

"This ............."

Jiang Yuanming's face was a little red, and a trace of fire flashed in his eyes: "This official believes in them too much, and he didn't expect them to be so bold!" ”

"The lower official has resigned, it's better for you to take care of this matter yourself, my lord!"

"Wait............."

"What's wrong, my lord?"

Jiang Yuanming closed the accounts and looked at Liu Dashao happily: "Lord Liu, you also know how much there is a shortage of excellent war horses in Northern Xinjiang, a good war horse can reduce how many soldiers shed blood and sacrifice, and this official can't help but give you a little face!" How about buying 3,000 war horses at the market price? Leave some for Liu Weng to play, it's always okay! ”

Liu Dashao rubbed his nose with an embarrassed face, he thought that he was doing a drip, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuanming to see that something was wrong.

Old man, it's not that I don't help you, but I'm also powerless.

"Why don't you go back and discuss with your father?"

"Of course you can, this official and Lord Liu are both for the sake of Dalong, Liu Weng will definitely not be stingy, besides, let's buy it, and it's not forced not to give money, I hope Liu Weng will look away a little, and also, Lord Liu who uses power for personal gain can be careful not to leak out one day, and the official can't hold it if he wants to!"

"Okay, take your leave!"

Jiang Yuanming gave himself enough face, and he couldn't be dissatisfied, so he could only go back and discuss it with the old man!

Out of the household yamen Liu Mingzhi looked at the prince's carriage in the distance, and stretched his waist comfortably, the emperor is really a long-term person, and he has already secretly started the matter of sea ships.

In that case, why bother to work hard.

"It's beautiful again............ Oops......... Bold, do you know who this official is........... Euphemism, why are you here! ”

The empress and Hui'er didn't speak, and walked towards the distance with Liu Dashao alone, Liu Mingzhi knew that the person holding him was the empress and didn't struggle, so he secretly made a gesture and let the two of them leave with him.

"Stop, stop......... Wanyan, where are you taking me? ”

"Oops........ What are you doing with me at the inn in broad daylight? ”

Hui'er stepped back and slammed the door shut.

The empress looked at the frightened Liu Dashao who was shrinking in the corner of the bed, slowly pulled the ribbon on Liu's waist, and pressed towards Liu Dashao step by step with a proud expression.

"Don't be impulsive, if you have something to say, I'm not feeling well these days!"

"Don't, stop, don't stop!"
