"Fishing law enforcement?"

Tong Zhou was directly confused by Cui Wenqing's sudden new words, he understands fishing, and law enforcement also understands, but the combination of these two words makes him feel like listening to the book of heaven.

Zhi Zhao smiled weakly and said: "Xianggong, what does fishing law enforcement mean?" Please explain. ”

Cui Wenqing explained with a smile: "The so-called fishing law enforcement refers to the fact that the parties did not have the intention of violating the law, but engaged in illegal activities under the lure of law enforcement officers. ”

Zhi Zhao could understand it, and frowned and said: "What the husband means is that originally Hedong Bank didn't want to issue military bonds at all, but the old man, who was a secret agent of the imperial court, lured Hedong Bank by bait, so as to make a move that violated the laws of the imperial court?" ”

"yes, that's kind of what it means." Cui Wenqing is already the head of the jaw.

Tong Zhou was instantly angry: "So, that old man deliberately dug a pit to frame us?" ”

"It can't be said to be framed." Cui Wenqing sighed, "It can only be said that flies don't stare at seamless eggs, at that time, I had already sternly refused to issue military bonds on behalf of Zhenwu Army, but Lu Huiqing objected on behalf of your Hedong Road Jingluo Mansion, and signaled that you can collect 50,000 taels of silver from the old man in the form of national bonds, this is the real pit goods!" ”

Tong Zhou was so depressed when he heard this, and suddenly felt that his order to beat Lu Huiqing's 20th board just now was too light, and such a bad thing should be killed directly on the spot!

"By the way, what does that old man look like?" Zhi Zhao asked a crucial question.

Cui Wenqing tried hard to think about it, and said: "The white hair looks like about sixty, the height is moderate, probably about the same as the Jingluo Gong, he looks a little fat, and his smile is a little treacherous, he belongs to the type of person who can't pay for his life......"

Zhi Zhao and Tong Zhou looked at each other, thinking for a while, and a name instantly appeared in their minds, and they said in unison: "Could it be Fu Bi?" ”

Cui Wenqing naturally heard of Fu Bi's name, and smiled in surprise: "Why, he is the famous Wang Zuozhi Cai Fu Bi?" ”

Tong Zhou was already so angry that he was about to turn his back on his breath, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, it is Fu Bi, who was praised as Wang Zuozhicai by Fan Zhongyan, the famous minister of the Taizong Dynasty, and now the household department Shangshu Fu Bi, and also the minister of the Qin Mission, Fu Bi. ”

Cui Wenqing was stunned for a long time, and muttered to himself: "I'll wipe it!" Now it's a big problem. ”

Tong Zhou gritted his teeth with a black face, and suddenly stood up angrily.

Seeing this, Cui Wenqing hurriedly asked, "Where is the Minister of Economic Affairs going?" Let's discuss what we can do together, as the saying goes, three stinkers make one Zhuge Liang. ”

Tong Zhou said angrily: "Lu Huiqing made a mistake, and the official will go back to punish him heavily, which can be regarded as an explanation to Fu Shangshu." ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "After a little effort, I'm afraid it's too late at the moment, even if you smoke Lu Huiqing to death, it's useless, violence can't solve the problem, I just thought of a solution, and I don't know if it's feasible." ”

"What's the solution?" Tong Zhou knew that Cui Wenqing was extremely intelligent, so he hurriedly sat down and asked with an anxious face.

Cui Wenqing smiled, and said what he wanted to do.

After listening, Tong Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Wen Qingxian's nephew is a good idea, if you can do this, you can make Fu Shangshu throw a mouse." ”

"That's right," Zhi Zhaomei glanced at Cui Wenqing, and nodded in agreement, "Since that's the case, then let's act according to the husband's plan." ”

The chariot of the imperial court and the household department Shangshu Fubi entered the Taiyuan city gate on the 25th day of the first month.

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries, the household department was the yamen of the imperial court in charge of household registration and finance, and it was second only to the official department in the six-part sequence.

After the founding of the Great Qi State, Emperor Gaozu set up three envoys to be in charge of the imperial court finances in order to divide the power of the prime minister, and many key powers of the household department were also included in the three envoys, making the status and importance of the household department much less than before, and the same is true of the household department, the official rank is from the three products, and the same official rank is the same as that of the Zhaotong Prefecture.

Originally, according to the practice of officialdom, there was no need to go to greet the same official rank in person, but Zhe Zhao and Tongzhou understood that Fu Bi came this time and had the identity of a court envoy, so they went out of the city to meet them in person.

Came to the main hall of the Yamen of Jingluo Mansion and sat down, Zhi Zhao, Tongzhou, and Fu Bi made a simple greeting, and the latter said with a meaningful smile: "At the end of last year, the Jingluo Xianggong and the Governor of Zhe Dadu made a lot of noise on Hedong Road, and the news reached the capital, and the civil and military officials were also discussing, and the ministers of the political hall had different opinions, and they didn't know how to deal with your wanton debt on Hedong Road in the name of the imperial court, so the official family specially ordered the official to come to Hedong Road to inspect, and asked the two to help the official investigate the situation. ”

"It is our luck that Fu Shangshu can come to Hedong with money." Tong Zhou smiled and said a polite word, and then said solemnly, "Don't hide Fu Shangshu, our Hedong Road passes through the Luofu and the Zhenwu Military Governor's Mansion of the Zheda Governor, all because of financial embarrassment and had to borrow more than three million taels of silver, but at first, we just wanted to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver from the people to spend money, and this matter was also reported to An Shixiang, but I didn't expect the people's enthusiasm for buying military bonds and treasury bonds to be so high. I was caught off guard! ”

Hearing this, Fu Bi was almost so angry that he vomited blood.

You must know that in the best year since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the imperial court's finances only earned 35 million taels of silver at most, excluding the necessary expenses.

Unexpectedly, Zhi and Tong set up a bank for Lao Shizi, and borrowed more than three million taels on Hedong Road, which was really shocking.

In his opinion, Hedong Road's private debt behavior can be described as a very dangerous move, a bad may shake the financial economy of Daqi, if there are bad debts, the majesty of the court in the people, where does the prestige of the people exist?

Therefore, the financial officials headed by Han Qi, the envoy of the third division, were dissatisfied with the debt, and the same was true for Fu Bi.

With a slight thought, Fu Bi sneered: "The official will not comment on the rights and wrongs of the people's debts, but as far as the official knows, the imperial court ban has obviously reached Hedong Road, but there are still people in your Hedong Bank who dare to collect loans from the people, and I don't know how the Tong Jing Strategy Envoy restricts your subordinates?" ”
