The young master acted and didn't ask much.

How could he know that Yan Chengjin was going to travel at night, so he went to the palace to invite Wang Yue.

Wang Yue was puzzled: "What is the virtuous nephew going to do in Jixian Building?" It's a place where the poor stay. ”

Of course, it was for the sake of "encountering" Korean......

When he arrived at Jixian Building, Yan Chengjin got off the sedan chair, and several beautiful women with good looks were playing in front of the building, and they didn't expect Han Wen to come here to drink flower wine.

Putting on a human cage mouth, Yan Chengjin stepped into Jixian Building, and played and sang in the lobby, dancing.

In a remote seat, I saw Hangul in a gorgeous costume, as if she was appreciating the poem, and the plump woman on the side was engrossed in writing and writing something.

There is no shortage of talented women in the Qinglou, and after falling into the dust, it attracted many literati to come to exchange and discuss.

"What a coincidence?"

When Han Wen saw Yan Chengjin, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and he who had always been calm became a little flustered.

"It's not what Lord Yan thinks, Ben ...... I'm not that kind of person. ”

Waiting for the geisha to retreat, Yan Chengjin said: "Xiaguan knows that when the head of the household is under great pressure, it is normal for people to indulge, in fact, Xiaguan is not that kind of person. ”

Daming is not monogamous, and visiting the Qinglou is nothing.

Yan Chengjin is very open-minded.

Han Wen was shocked, but fortunately there was no one nearby.

After Yan Chengjin sat down, he went straight to the point: "I met, the lower official wants to discuss with the adults about the opening of the waterway in Liangxiang." ”

Even though it was broken, Han Wen still made a straight face: "There is too much spending, and the household department can't support it." ”

"Just after the summer tax, it is the time when the treasury is full, how can there be no silver in the warehouse?"

"After opening Caoyun, at the end of next year, the autumn tax, Liangxiang will definitely be able to pay 60,000 taels of silver, and Lord Han has earned it." Yan Chengjin Road.

Yan Fu can also take out 50,000 taels of silver, but if he moves out so much silver at once, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Jinyiwei.

Han Wen said angrily: "You deliberately followed me here, right?" ”

Yan Chengjin nodded: "The lower official can write an IOU on behalf of Liangxiang, and when the autumn grain is next year, he will definitely repay 60,000 taels of silver to the household department." ”

Han Wen thought thoughtfully, a county town pays 60,000 taels of commercial tax, which is comparable to the tax of a government.

"If you don't give it, do you want to impeach it?"

Yan Chengjin took out an impeachment note from his mouth, Han Wen was shocked, this dog thing has even been written?

For the sake of prudence, Yan Chengjin prepared three countermeasures.

Han Wen is a rare upright official in the Ming Dynasty, and it is most suitable for him to control the household department, but he doesn't want him to be dismissed.

"Write an IOU."

Yan Chengjin took out another note from his cuff.

"......" Korean.

Even the IOUs were written......

After taking a look, Han Wen was not surprised: "Why is it Zhang Xian from Liangxiang?" ”

"Zhang Xian is the magistrate of Liangxiang, of course, he has to settle the money."

Han Wen glanced at him meaningfully: "This official is here just to learn poetry, Lord Yan should not impeach indiscriminately and cause misunderstanding." ”

"Xia Guan has always been tight-lipped."

……

In the early morning, the sun shines brightly.

After waiting for the early dynasty, Han Wen came to the warm pavilion to face the saint.

"Your Majesty, I implore you to open the waterway from Liangxiang to Lugou Bridge."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was extremely complicated: "Didn't Qing reject Yan Chengjin's request to beg, why did he ask for a beggar by himself?" ”

Han Wen's face was blushing, and he didn't let Yan Chengjin's guy bump into him in the Qinglou, "Last night, Yan Chengjin gave the minister an IOU, next year's autumn grain, and Liangxiang will pay 60,000 taels of tax silver." ”

Li Dongyang's heart moved.

A good luck of the pass will not receive so much silver in a year.

Emperor Hongzhi's heart fell into a boulder like an ancient well, but he didn't press it: "How do you know?" ”

"The minister sent someone to investigate the accounts of the houses in Liangxiang, and the accounts of Liangxiang were as high as 170,000 taels of silver."

"170,000 taels!" Emperor Hongzhi lost his voice.

Yan Chengjin, that guy always told me that the good township was poor......

"Where did all this money go?"

Han Wen took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Liangxiang is not greedy for ink, and it has spent so much silver to purchase iron tools for the homeless, pay the summer tax, and build a library building. ”

He was also shocked when he heard such accounts.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "Xuanyan Chengjin and Zhang Xian are here to see me!" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Xianyuan is in Liangxiang, I'm afraid I will ...... for a while"

"Xuanyan Chengjin is here to see me!"

The little eunuch hurriedly ran to the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Emperor Hongzhi waited for nearly half an hour and did not see Yan Chengjin coming.

"This guy, why hasn't he come yet!"

Li Dongyang muttered: "This son must have heard that His Majesty was angry, so he deliberately delayed." ”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly, yes, this son is extremely cautious, and he is afraid that I will cut off his head, so he deliberately dragged it out, "Xiao Banban, you go and bring him." ”

After a while, Yan Chengjin strode into the big one: "Minister Yan Chengjin ......"

"Liangxiang has collected so much tax silver, why don't you hand it over to Taicang, you actually embezzled tax silver without permission, what a crime!" Emperor Hongji's voice was mixed with anger.

Yan Chengjin presented two sketches and a Shang Fang sword without land, and a gold medal for avoiding death.

Emperor Hongzhi's old face twitched suddenly: "You just ...... Have you returned home to get the Shang Fang Sword? ”

"Your Majesty."

Han Wen's face was weird, he knew all about this dirty death-free gold deal.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly and looked at the two paintings, one was starving and inhumane, and the other was living and working in peace and contentment, and prosperous.

"What is this?"

"If you hand over the tax money, the first picture is the future good township, if the tax money is left, the second picture is the future good country, the good country is too poor." Yan Chengjin glanced at Emperor Hongzhi secretly: "Most of the silver is spent on the library, and there are accounts in the houses of the yamen. ”

Emperor Hongzhi felt a faint pain in his heart, and he was reluctant to spend so much silver on the renovation in the palace.

"With the opening of the waterway, will we be able to collect 60,000 taels of silver in the autumn next year?"

"Yes."

Emperor Hongzhi knew that this guy was cautious, so he secretly added 20,000 taels and said, "I don't care about you, the silver collected in the autumn grain next year will be more than 60,000 taels, right?" ”

At the end of the year, it can actually collect 120,000 taels.

In view of the fact that His Majesty will add 20% to him every time, Yan Chengjin has already compressed 50%, His Majesty has added 20%, and there is still 30% left.

"Your Majesty agrees with the Ministry of Household Transfer?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head and said, "This IOU is kept by me, and I can't collect it, so I'm looking for you to settle accounts!" ”

"The minister uses Shang Fang's sword as a guarantee!"

Li Dongyang blushed and lowered his head, anyway, he was embarrassed to tell others in this life that this guy was his student.

……

Zhang Xian organized the displaced people and prepared to open a waterway in Liangxiang.

There is a Qianwei River in Liangxiang, which leads the river water through the county seat of Liangxiang, and together with the Lugou River, the transportation of Liangxiang is completed.

"This is the waterway map, dig according to the waterway on the map, take care of one or three meals, and pay three salaries."

Zhang Xian took a look, and the waterway passed by the Ferris waterwheel in Liangxiang and communicated all the way to the Lugou River.

"Xiaguan will do it."

In winter, the grass hut of the displaced people leaks, and the difference between staying inside the house and staying outside is very small, and the work can also ease the child.

Hearing about the rice management, the homeless people came to the yamen to sign up for the service with their own iron tools.

I finally have a livelihood in the winter.

……

After reading the sparse music today, Emperor Hongzhi decided to go to Zhan Shifu, Xiao Jing said as he walked: "Your Majesty, there is a matter that the slave and maid feel very strange, and the slave and maid sent to the servants to read, all of them have no news. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly startled in his heart, and turned around and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
