Chapter 469: Outside and Inside (16)
The Xin'an County Mansion is full of traffic.
Quan Ce's business steward Quan Li, who has been raised for many years, his legs are good, and he can stand up from the wheelchair, but it is still a little inconvenient to walk, he took a group of account rooms, slipped through the wall and stood in a row, his eyes were burning and shining, and he carefully looked at these carriages and horses, estimated the approximate amount of money and silk, and recorded them one by one.
On the long street at the door, the two big housekeepers, Quan Xiang and Quan Zheng, went back and forth to confess their crimes, bowing and bowing, busy and busy, with a humble attitude, but their heads shook like rattles, no matter what anyone said, they just didn't agree to bring the carriages, horses, money and goods into the house.
"The master is not there, he has not been instructed, he does not dare to be good at it, your house is kind, the next generation of the master is ashamed, how to deal with the money, and wait for the master to return to be the master, but also please pass on to your master, and bear with me."
"No, no, there is no intention of slacking off, it is really your master's kindness is too much, this lot of money, the matter is big, the master has not been arranged in advance, I wait for the servants, we can only do this for the time being, if you are at ease, then settle the carriage and horses on the side of the street, if it is inconvenient, you can also bring it back the same way"
……
The smiling faces of the two of them were almost frozen, they didn't have the courage to make their own decisions, and they took a large amount of money and silk sent by the powerful people of the Shendu, but they didn't dare to turn them away from the street, and offended a fine light, which was what the main mother Princess Yunxi meant.
This trend of sending money and silk to the Xin'an County Government was the first to be led by Wu Youning, the king of Jianchang.
The strange things in his house have continued, he has been tormented by strange diseases, the shape is broken, the business is unattended, plummeting, the situation is bleak, there is a sign of sunset, occasionally someone mentions, he suddenly realized, on the day of the hall, he questioned the right to execute the Turkic murderers The method is too strange, and was severely warned by the military queen, at that time he thought that he would admit his guilt, but he would also attract a great disaster, and immediately screamed a miserable cry, fainted, and woke up The first order was to send 300,000 yuan of money to the Xin'an County Mansion, Support Xin'an County to open up border and sea trade, and raise military funds for the heavy training of the left and right leading guards.
Wu Youning's situation is special, he is guilty of sin, and in the midst of severe punishment, he uses money to atone for his sins and beg for mercy, which is understandable, and the government and the opposition just discussed it, and it did not cause much reaction.
At this time, the emperor's heir Li Dan returned from Dengfeng Zhongyue Taoist Temple, and on the same day, he ordered the palace attendants to send 500,000 yuan of money and silk to the Xin'an County Mansion, and at the same time sent a warm letter, which put the posture of a loving uncle to the fullest, but also specifically mentioned, "...... Self-raising military funds, retraining the Western Capital Guards, this is not only the private business of Dalang, but also the important matter of the imperial court, the mother and the emperor have been concerned for a long time, like a fish in the throat, as a courtier, who can be indifferent...... Uncle has no other virtue, only Qian Bao still takes advantage of it, and helps Da Lang, don't shirk ......"
This letter was supposed to be a private message, but the content of the letter was widely circulated within a day, and everyone became aware of it.
It's good to say, only this sentence, as a courtier, how can you be indifferent? But no one can afford it.
As a result, it created this scene in front of the Xin'an County Mansion, and the powerful and wealthy businessmen of the Shendu City donated generously to drive a large number of carriages and horses, carrying a huge amount of money and silk, and flocked to make the street in front of the Xin'an County Mansion more crowded and lively than Nanshi.
Due to Yang I's deception, Tun Desire Valley and Ashina Yuanzhen both left the mission, Princess Yunxi had already sounded the alarm bell, and after Li Dan's private message spread inexplicably, she immediately ordered that not a penny of money should be allowed to enter the mansion again.
"Chu Guogong, this, you are ......" Quan Xiang's face was bitter, the powerful gentry who came were all unrelated, and those who were really friendly with the Princess Yiyang Mansion and the Xin'an County Mansion did not act immediately, thinking that the situation was strange, and he waited for Quan Ce to return to Shendu before making plans, those people, he came forward to refuse, and he refused, and it was not harmless, but Li Chongrun, the Duke of Chu, was different, he was Quan Ce's cousin, Quan Ce also taught him a period of literary lessons, and the roots were quite deep, and the two sides were very close to each other.
"Quan Xiang, what's wrong? Big brother is in trouble, how can I sit back and watch? There is also money and silk sent by Sister Yongtai" Li Chongrun didn't know what to do, took Li Bao'er's hand, looked around, and frowned, "What's the mess here?" ”
"Grandpa doesn't know......" Quan Xiang was about to explain, but he heard Li Bao'er scream, broke free of Li Chongrun's hand, and jumped out like a deer.
Not far away, Quan Ce and Xie Yaohuan came side by side, both of them were not good-looking, Quan Ce was gloomy, but Xie Yaohuan was more apologetic, she only wanted to force Wu Youning to contribute money to Lang Jun, but unexpectedly, this matter would be used by the imperial heir, causing an uproar, but put Lang Jun on the fire to roast.
"Big brother" Li Bao'er rushed forward, Quan Ce hurriedly dismounted and squatted to catch her, Li Bao'er planted himself in his arms, pulled out a fragrant purse from his waist, blinked his bright eyes, and said in a childish voice, "Big brother, Bao'er also has money, which can be used by you"
Quan Ce took her purse, took a copper coin, and said seriously, "This is what the eldest brother borrowed from Bao'er, and if he has income in the future, he will give Bao'er dividends."
"Giggles" Li Bao'er only thought he was funny, and laughed very face-wrenchingly, not knowing how to worry.
"Quan Zheng, spread the word out, the border sea trade is still in the planning, there is no need for money and silk for the time being, and the money and silk given, including the two royal highnesses of King Jianchang and the imperial heir, will all be returned to the original owner, please return them within an hour."
"Quan Xiang, go to the Shaofu Prison, ask Shaofu Langzhong Zhang Khan to come over, the money and silk that are not transported away after the time limit will be regarded as a donation, and all of them will be confiscated into the Shaofu Mansion."
"Quan Li, Zhang Langzhong came over, and handed over the accounts to him, be careful, don't make the villain bad"
Quan Ce gave the order in an orderly manner, and several chief stewards seemed to have found the backbone of the master, and each called the servants to carry out the order.
Li Chongrun came closer, listened to Quan Ce's words, only to realize that something was wrong, his cheeks were flushed, and he turned around and was about to order someone to pull the money away, the eldest sister got married, he took his sister in Shendu, the money and silk were not very abundant, this time he brought 50,000 yuan, and he was still a little ashamed.
"Chongrun" Quan Ce called out, stopped him, and patted him on the shoulder, "I have already accepted the money and silk wrapped in the house, you sent it on behalf of the Luling Palace, so stay as well."
Li Chongrun scratched his head, instinctively feeling that there was something else in it, and out of trust in the power policy, he didn't get entangled.
An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the stewards and servants who sent the money and silk left a lot, and only a few people were left looking around, thinking that they were to listen to the news, but the money and silk were all left.
Quan Ce smiled, the land of the divine capital is worthy of the political center, compared with political interests, the money is not seen in the eyes of these powerful gentry.
"Xiaguan to meet the right servant" Zhang Cambodia arrived, stepping on an hour's steps, not at all, not delayed at all, acting under orders, not wanting to be too deeply involved.
"Zhang Langzhong, Your Majesty is the royal pole, the politics are harmonious, and the sea is in the heart, so that there is a grand event where the gentry and the gentry compete to donate and lose" Quan Ce said two sentences, and consolidated the name of the donation, "The people's will is irreversible, Zhang Langzhong is the financial management of the inner treasury, so he will accept it, Your Majesty has his own official point to say"
"Yes" Quan Ce has been thoughtful, Zhang Cambodia did not have a second word, waved his hand to order a large number of officials to step forward, began to move, the young government supervisor came a lot of manpower, but could not stand more carriages and horses, I am afraid that I will have to run more times to finish.
Dealing with Li Dan's warm and affectionate tricks, Quan Ce stretched out his hand to extend the invitation, and motioned for Xie Yaohuan to follow her back to the house.
Xie Yaohuan was feeling sorry for herself, and seeing that Lang Jun didn't mind, she hurriedly nodded in agreement, and the gloom on her face was swept away.
Li Chongrun didn't leave, and asked after him, babbling in pieces, "Big brother, Chongxing is in Shaofu, why do you want to invite this Langzhong over?" With a coffin face, it's unlucky."
"Hehe" Quan Ce smiled and didn't answer, it was precisely because Zhang Cambodia had a holiday with him that he asked him to receive the money and silk, so that he could avoid the melon field and plums.
