Chapter 206: Sending Charcoal to Hou Aiqing in the Snow

"Wow!!"

Lu Xingan solemnly promised and walked out of the room.

But Wang Hou, hearing what Hou Shigui said, moved in his heart, picked up the brush and put the number on the last line of the account:

Fifteen,790,000 taels of silver.

and gave the seventy-nine to the ditch.

When Hou Shigui saw this, he smiled and said:

"Mr. Wang still understands me."

With a hook of the pen, nearly 800,000 taels of silver were credited to the account.

Hou Shigui has never made so much money in his life.

But Wang Hou said:

"After all, a few brothers died, and that little money should be used for funeral expenses."

A few days later, after the county magistrate's family property was also checked.

Hou Shigui set his sights on the rich families who bought women, and under the brocade clothes and horses, those rich families in Gyeonggi Province who had no power and no power lost their families.

And Jinyiwei's fierce reputation is even more notorious!

Chu Jing, inside the palace.

"What is this concubine going to do!!

Listening to Yang He's roar, Wang Zhen sighed helplessly.

Since the news of Jinzhong County came, it has been a long time since I have seen His Majesty without anger on his face.

Especially today, after hearing that the brocade clothes rode around to confiscate the rich households, His Majesty even smashed all his favorite vases.

At this time, an internal supervisor came from outside the door to report, saying that the household officials asked to see him.

As soon as he heard this, Yang He had a headache even more.

After the reshuffle of the household department, although most of the newly appointed household officials were their own people, the household department has been excluded by the family everywhere since then.

This is not the end, the key is that after those fools took office, they didn't do a few things seriously, so they asked me for money every day with their throats!

The canal connecting the north and the south, the pension for the casualties of the Southern Expedition, the garrison expenses for the new city outside the Saiwai, and the production of new agricultural tools, etc., all seemed to have disappeared overnight.

I knew I wanted money! How can I conjure up money for them?!!

But even so, Yang He knew that he couldn't see it.

With a tired face, he waved his hand:

"Let them in."

After several officials from the household department came in, they didn't dare to say anything when they saw Yang He's bad look.

It's just that the canal is about to be completed, and it is a critical juncture, but the imperial court has already owed a lot of money.

But now that the treasury is empty, he wants to ask Yang He to withdraw three million taels from the emperor's inner treasury to fill the treasury.

Eight million taels, where do I have eight million taels now?

Yang He said weakly:

"I know, Aiqing retreats."

After the household officials retreated, Yang He turned his head and said to Wang Zhen beside him:

"Now in the middle of the day, extinguish all the candles that you don't use, and light them again at night, you can also save some time."

"Whoa."

After Wang Zhen took the order and left, Yang He looked at the empty hall and was a little distracted, and even the chapter was not approved.

Until another inner supervisor came to the hall to report:

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard sent Hou Shigui an urgent chapter."

Rush recital? I'm afraid you want to ask me for a piece of music, right?

That concubine has ruined my first reputation, but now he still wants to ask me for credit?

Yang He didn't want to take a second look at the piece handed by Hou Shigui, and said directly:

"Read."

Then he listened to the inner supervisor say:

"Chen Jinyiwei commanded Hou Shigui, who was ordered to go south through Jinzhong County, and found a ......"

Yang He listened and felt that something was wrong.

All the officials in Jinzhong County were burned to death by a sudden fire when they were in office?

That concubine!! Dare to slaughter a county official!

Although Yang He was angry in his heart, he was also a little pleased with Hou Shigui's behavior.

I didn't poke out the that those bedbugs did, and I saved some face.

It's sensible.

It's just that you're too young, a county official, who died in the fire and didn't survive, no one would believe this kind of thing.

Moreover, many of the officials in Jinzhong County are children of the family, and you made this scene, so how can I protect you?

Boy, after all, you're too young, you caused a monstrous disaster, end it yourself, I can't protect you.

Yang He had already given up on Hou Shigui in his heart, but unfortunately at this moment, when the inner supervisor read a passage, he was stuck:

"When the minister was wandering in the forest outside Jinzhong County, he met the immortal to guide the way, and the immortal said: Inspired by His Majesty's kindness, so he pointed me to a silver mountain, and the minister went to the silver mountain, only to see that the sky was overwhelming, all of them were silver, so that people counted them carefully, and there were ...... There is ...... There are 20 million taels of silver!!

The immortals return to the clouds, there are many ancient souls buried here, I hope Your Majesty can build a ...... for these souls."

In the latter words, Yang He couldn't hear a word.

20 million taels...... Silver......

Those bed bugs! I embezzled 20 million taels of silver!!

Yang He knew the inside story, so he also knew that Hou Shigui had confiscated a lot of silver taels, and even the rich families who bought those poor women around Gyeonggi were also looted by Jinyiwei.

In his mind, the stolen money that Hou Shigui could find out was nothing more than more than one million taels.

But now that he heard this number, he was still so shocked that he couldn't speak.

20 million taels......

I was still worried about eight million taels just now, and I was reluctant to light a candle, but this concubine sent me 20 million taels at once.

It not only solves the urgent need, but also sends charcoal in the snow.

It seems that this concubine and this brocade guard are really useful.

At this moment, a bold idea arose in Yang He's heart.

20 million taels, enough for the pension of the casualties of the Southern Expeditionary Army and all the expenses of the canal until it was completed!

Even the reward money of the Beijing officials during this year's New Year Festival is more than enough.

Just raiding a corrupt county, Jinzhong County, where everyone should be killed, can greatly reduce my burden, if a few more are raided......

The previous idea of giving up Hou Shigui is gone.

At this moment, Yang He had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter how big the basket Hou Shigui poked, he would also be protected!

It's the forest that Hou Shigui said at the end of the chapter.

Yang He also knew that it was the place where Jinzhong County officials used to bury the victims.

This concubine let himself build a temple there to pay tribute to the souls of the ancients, I'm afraid that it is the tens of thousands of souls who really want to sacrifice themselves, right?

This son is ruthless in killing people, and he doesn't blink an eye when he slaughters all the county officials, but why do he have to pay tribute to those people who don't even have names?

Weird, weird.

Yang He didn't understand, and he didn't need to think about it.

Immediately, he invited the great Confucian Liu Yu into the palace, and asked Liu Yu to write an article praising the immortals and calling them to send their own silver coins.

Yang He looked at the article written by Liu Yu and muttered:

"Jinyi pro-army, live up to my heart, live up to my heart......"

Pro-army in brocade? The article I wrote didn't mention half a word about my student's brocade-clothed pro-army.

How could Your Majesty say this?

Liu Yu was confused, and Yang He didn't want to explain to him.

After the order was issued, and the article was published all over the world, he happily summoned the officials of the household department to discuss the completion of the canal.

The officials saw that His Majesty looked beaming again in the blink of an eye, and they didn't know why, so they didn't dare to say anything else.
