Dong De sent the things in his mouth with tea and said: "Don't mention it, I haven't eaten well these days, some time ago, the lord asked me to handle the trade with Wara, the second master Fang Qingze also fought with me for a long time, but the lord was soft and hard to come, these days I have been settling accounts, calculating the trade account book of the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth year, don't you really find a lot of loopholes, besides, now the territory of Warat is very chaotic, there are scuffles everywhere, each leader needs food and cloth and porcelain and the like, so as to bribe the other party's generals, This group of Mongolian Tatars have learned badly from our Han people, hehe, so the cattle, sheep, horses, etc. they got can be pressed by me again and again, and I also recovered the bad debt loopholes found before, by the way, our old man Yang Zhun is really not covered, and then the name of Dali Temple gave me the money of those corrupt officials also recovered, and the trade money they embezzled over the years not only spit out, but also lost a lot, it is really happy. ”

Lu Yunzhi took a sip of tea and said: "In short, don't do too much, leave some for others appropriately, don't attract people to hold grudges, thousands of miles to be an official just for the sake of wealth, if you cut off people's wealth, others will fight with you, and if you gather into a group, you will turn against you, although the Ming Dynasty is our world, but it is not appropriate to make too many enemies, dripping water through stones, and it will definitely rebound under strong pressure, now is not the time, we can't be this bird, and the court must come forward to rectify it, and the same name is different." ”

"I understand this, after a few of the killers and monkeys came, it depends on their own performance, they are generally not bad, they are quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and I haven't killed them all, this lord can rest assured that I know it in my heart, and besides, our old man Yang Zhun is also a shrewd person, even if I will, he won't." Dong De said,

Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly: "I know you understand this, I'm not afraid that you will do wrong, what I'm afraid of is my father-in-law Yang Zhun, my father-in-law, everything is good, in fact, he is a little greedy for money and power, in the past, when he was in Nanjing, he dug a tunnel at home to save money, which can be described as a famous miser, you should also know this when you detain the families of those Nanjing officials, Ah Rong is even clearer, but don't say it, otherwise he knows that we know his secret, and it should be difficult to sleep, I am afraid that when you two work, He was obsessed with money for a while and missed a big thing, you can help me watch more. ”

Dong De nodded, and continued to gobble up, Lu Yunzhi said with an embarrassed face: "Dong De, how much money do we have in our accounts now." ”

Dong De is really proficient in accounting, and he didn't even think about opening his mouth: "According to our rules of income and expenditure, plus the income from this trade with Warat, there are 50,000 taels of silver in the public account, more than 1 million taels in the heavenly account, and 30,000 taels in the treasury of the mansion. ”

Dong De is now in charge of a large amount of money, of which the public account refers to the accounts of the imperial court, sometimes Dong De's own business needs money will be borrowed, but it will be repaid within four or five days, and the heavenly account refers to the funds used by the secret thirteen, such as the family expenses of the secret members of the army in various places, the high remuneration of the dark department, of course, including the expenses of Li Dahai, Li Sixi, these ruffians, etc., as well as the 100,000 taels that Ah Rong withdraws every month, Dong De once doubted, not that Ah Rong was not at ease, It's just that the person in charge of the account must know whether the money is reasonable, but Lu Yunzhi said that this is a secret, just give it, and Dong De won't say anything more.

As for the gold and silver in the mansion treasury, it is much easier to understand, this is the money of the Zhongzheng lineage, it is said that Lu Yunzhi and other family members are also very frugal, guarding so much money in such a public account and the heavenly account, they don't move a penny, and the monthly expenditure of 20,000 taels includes many people, all the members of the Zhongzheng lineage except for Gao Huaizhu and what they have seen, including Chao Xing A Rong Dong De and their expenses, as well as the servants and maids in the mansion, etc., the two most important expenses are the silver taels used by Lu Yunzhi and others to do things abroad, as well as Wang Yulu's research funds, Rao is so, I can still save a few thousand taels every month, and I already have 30,000 taels here.

30,000 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live a life of fine clothes and food, but it is not worth the expenses of the heavenly tent for two days, the public account is the money of the imperial court, and finally it will be attributed to the treasury, it is the money of the imperial court, needless to say, and the origin of the money of the heavenly tent and the mansion treasury is also composed of many aspects, at first it was supplied by Fang Qingze, but after Dong De managed the accounts, he never used Fang Qingze's money, Lu Yunzhi also instructed Fang Qingze to repay some money one after another, Fang Qingze also accepted it calmly, in fact, the money was just an amount to Fang Qingze, and the incident is everyone's, and the interests are also everyone's, and there is nothing to borrow or borrow, just to give Fang Qingze five million taels,

The current income is Dong De's bigger and bigger business, ordnance and grain and grass business, with the help of Mi Shisan's power in the military department, he gradually monopolized this huge financial place, which made Fang Qingze also sigh, secretly sighing that Dong De has the ability to live in various places, but he doesn't know the secrets.

The second is from the due loss, the accounts are generally lost, this belongs to the ants moving into a lot, in the face of a large amount of money, a batch of losses are enough to tens of thousands of taels, not Lu Yunzhi's corruption, this is just a necessary rule, Ming officials are very few, if there is no loss of this secret way to make a fortune, it is estimated that most of the low-level officials are inferior to ordinary businessmen, such as Lu Yunzhi ranks three less, but in the end, it is only about three thousand taels a year, which is not enough to spend up and down the house, Although Lu Yunzhi has monstrous power, he can't break the rules and not let others live because he has money, as Lu Yunzhi said, if you don't let others live, then others will definitely rebel.

Since the success of the seizure of the door, Dong De and Fang Qingze's power has also expanded a lot, without Yu Qian's suppression, they are more like a fish in water, and the money they get is getting more and more, just one ordinary loss and kicking income is enough for nearly one million, and the money in the heavenly account and the mansion treasury has also been settled, plus Dong De's business is just enough, and the seemingly huge monthly income is still a little stretched in front of the huge system of Mi Thirteen, as Lu Yunzhi said, the stall is too big, and the cost is also large.

Lu Yunzhi listened to the amount of money in the account that Dong De just said, and was worried, Dong De knew that Lu Yunzhi was short of money, so he said: "How much does the lord want." Lu Yunzhi said: "One hundred thousand taels, hey, it seems that we have a lot of money, but in fact, our money is very tight." After speaking, Lu Yunzhi smiled bitterly,
