Gonggong Fu knelt on the ground in fear, his body trembled all the time, and he didn't dare to look at the emperor sitting there, even if it was just a glance, looking at the Son of Heaven privately without permission was a great crime of rebellion, and he was suspected of killing the king.

Li Zheng leaned on the silk pillow, turned the wrench in his hand playfully, and looked at Father-in-law Fu who was kneeling on the ground and trembling from time to time.

Zhou Fei, the chief eunuch, was also silent, he clearly knew the emperor's habits, once he interrupted the emperor's thinking at this time, it would be a big crime, even if he was not spared being reprimanded.

After a long time, Li Zheng stretched: "Fuhai, raise your head and look at me!" ”

Gonggong Fu raised his head in fear, and he didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Majesty, the slave deserves death, and he has done his errand!" ”

Li Zheng smiled playfully: "Get up, forgive you for your innocence, the severity of the Holy Decree and the Golden Dragon Order is really not something that you can measure as a little eunuch, so be even." ”

"Thank you, thank you, your majesty!"

Li Zheng sneered: "Then Liu Mingzhi really said that he would not come to Beijing to face the saint until after the marriage?" ”

"Yes, yes, the slave has 10,000 dares and does not dare to deceive His Majesty, Liu Banyu's family and father-in-law tried their best to urge Liu Banyu to go to Beijing to face the saint, but Liu Banyu tried his best to shirk, and the slave did not dare to force Liu Banyu too much, Liu Banyu held the golden dragon order in hand, and when he saw the order, he could only go back to Beijing and wait for His Majesty to deal with it!"

Li Zheng turned his head to look at Zhou Fei, the chief manager standing on the side: "Old Zhou, you said that this kid is exquisite, and he really didn't guess my identity?" Whether it's really confused or pretending to be confused is worth figuring. ”

Zhou Fei was stunned: "This, Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't know, after all, he has only had a relationship with this person, maybe he is wise and stupid, or he is a little clever, the old slave doesn't dare to assert!" ”

Li Zheng picked up the teacup and blew the tea foam inside: "The teacher's letter mentioned that this guy hasn't been there for about two months since he entered Dangyang Academy?" ”

"Exactly, Emperor... Wenren Mountain Chief did mention this matter, and the letter was also quite regretful, saying that such a good Puyu was so unpolished, and said that a general's talent might be lost! ”

"The talent of the general, the talent of the general, the talent of arrogance, his marriage is more important than going to Beijing to see me, how should I evaluate this person?"

"Chasing small profits and ignoring the big picture?" Zhou Fei did not assert directly, but tentatively inquired about Li Zheng's thoughts.

Li Zheng pursed his lips: "It's true to pursue small profits, and the push of the grace order not only relieves the crisis between my big dragon and the grassland to avoid fighting each other, but also makes the various departments of the grassland fall into disputes and can't extricate themselves. ”

"This is Your Majesty's good use of people, if it weren't for Your Majesty's Corporal Lixian, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be stillborn."

"Don't compliment me, if I really know people and make good use of them, why didn't anyone in the Manchu Dynasty think of pushing the grace order? It can only be said that these ministers are busy with party disputes and do not pay attention to them at all, and it is time for the DPRK and China to shuffle the cards. ”

Zhou Fei raised his eyebrows, he didn't dare to speak, he was very clear about what to say and what not to answer.

"Have you presented the excerpts from the household department and the military department?"

Zhou Fei pointed to some folds on the table: "Your Majesty, where are they all here!" ”

Li Zheng quickly flipped through the bright candlelight, and after a while, he put the fold on the table: "Good guy, after the statistics of the household department and the military department, only the war horses of the four guards in the northwest and northeast can save eight million taels of silver, how much can you do to save these treasury silver for the treasury this year, a small horseshoe, put shoes on the horse, why can't you think of it to others?" ”

"I can only say that this idea is really fanciful."

"It's true that the imagination is untrue, but according to the investigation of the Ouchi guards, the reason why he made the horseshoe is just to prevent the Liu family from more than a thousand good horses in the horse farm in Yangzhou to be consumed in vain, the profits of Yangzhou buses are all red-eyed, after rough calculations by the household, the bus can bring nearly one million taels of silver to the Liu family a year, one million taels, the annual tax of the treasury is only 20 million taels of silver, which is still a series of taxes such as salt water, iron tax, grain tax and so on in the territory of Dalong, The income of a house and a carriage in Jiangnan is actually twenty-one of the whole world, this ability to make money, I really want to send him to the household department, so I will spend a lot less brains. ”

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, if you don't issue an edict to strictly order him to enter the palace to face the saint, it will be a big rebellion to dare to refuse this son after the edict!"

Hearing this, Li Zhengyan stood up and wandered back and forth in the imperial study, picking up the fold from time to time to look at it, and the amount of eight million taels of silver made his brows furrow.

"No, since he doesn't want to enter the palace, let's take a break for a while, where is the prince not to inform for the time being, let him study in the country now."

"Yes!"

Li Zheng seemed to suddenly remember something: "Old Zhou, prepare with pen and ink." ”

Zhou Fei hurriedly cleaned up the folds on the table, took out a roll of rice paper with a high-grade white jade scroll from the side and spread it on the table.

Li Zheng pondered for a while, dipped his pen in ink and wrote four big characters on the rice paper, 'a match made in heaven', and then mentioned the payment, and then stamped it with a big seal, not through the seal of the jade seal, but Li Zheng's personal seal.

"Don't forget to send it to Jiangnan Liu's house on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, as a congratulatory gift to this kid, thank him for solving a lot of troubles for me!"

Zhou Fei flashed a hint of surprise and then nodded again and again: "The Old Slave Association must not forget, Your Majesty rest assured." ”
