Capital

"What, Tu Wenfu was demoted to the Salary Division?"

Li Yongzhen closed the book in her hand, and her eyes showed excitement.

From the moment he heard that Tu Wenfu and King Xin were not dealing with each other, Li Yongzhen knew that Tu Wenfu would have such a day sooner or later.

Now that the palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is really vacant, then he has to plan carefully.

Turning over a stack of pieces from the table, Li Yongzhen laughed.

These news came at the right time, just in time to sell it in front of Grandpa Wei.

"Oh, Tu Wenfu has been transferred to the Salary Division?"

Hearing this news, Wei Zhongxian was not surprised at all.

That old Tu's brain was all blinded by money, and His Royal Highness the King of Letters was also something he could touch?

Deserve.

Wei Zhongxian was not surprised at all that Tu Wenfu was degraded.

Even about Tu Wenfu's demotion , Wei Zhongxian still had a feeling of schadenfreude.

That old Tu is a typical villain who is rampant.

It's only been a few days since he became the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he is not so respectful to the miscellaneous family.

It's okay now.

A knowing smile appeared at the corner of Wei Zhongxian's mouth.

To be honest, Wei Zhongxian is very annoyed now, very annoying.

is just a fool, and he can still make Grandpa Wei smile.

What bothered Wei Zhongxian was the matter of money.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there have only been two light rains in the capital area so far, and the spring drought in the capital area is coming.

Drought has also been reported in Beizhili, Shandong and Henan.

With such a large area, how much money would it cost to provide disaster relief?

What's more, it is not always the provinces that have been affected by the disaster.

Perhaps, there are also distant provinces that are on their way to report.

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Zhongxian scratched his head.

The operation of the imperial court, the maintenance of the three major halls, the military quartermaster of Liaodong, the right defense line of Jin, and disaster relief.

In his heart, Wei Zhongxian lined up several things that the imperial court urgently needed to spend money on now.

The operation and maintenance of the three major halls of the imperial court took up a large amount of taxes in the imperial court.

This Liaodong military supply, relying on the opening of King Xin, can be regarded as a temporary coping with the past.

What about the rest of the brocade right defense line and disaster relief?

Why don't you fix the right line of defense first?

No way.

Wei Zhongxian didn't want to give up a great opportunity.

According to the Liaodong Line report, Houjin Laonu is now seriously ill and may even die of illness at any time.

If you don't take advantage of the opportunity of Houjin Qunlong to be leaderless, rush to repair the right defense line of Jin, and wait for Houjin to have a new leader, then it will be difficult to build the right defense line of Jin.

Although he doesn't understand military affairs, Wei Zhongxian still has some common sense.

In the matter of repairing the right defense line of Jin, the new governor of Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan, said it well, he still has some ability.

This Yuan Chonghuan was promoted, and he also knew how to give a thank you gift to the miscellaneous family. Although this 10,000 taels of silver is not much, it is good that he has this heart.

Regarding Yuan Chonghuan's knowledge, Gonggong Wei is quite satisfied.

The question is, even if what Yuan Chonghuan said is right, now is the most suitable time to repair the right defense line of Jinjin, where will the money come from?

Levy more Liao?

This Wei Zhongxian really didn't dare.

This report has already hit several provinces by drought, and with the addition of salaries, isn't that forcing the people to make a civil uprising?

Wei Zhongxian, who came from the bottom of the society, knew that once he really couldn't live, those little people could really do things like killing people and selling goods.

The life and death of the little people, although Wei Zhongxian doesn't care too much. But as soon as the people make a civil uprising, it will alarm His Majesty the Emperor.

If you really want to alarm His Majesty the Emperor, it seems that Wei Zhongxian is so incompetent.

"Governor."

A shout interrupted Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, and Li Yongzhen walked in with a smile.

"Look, Duke,"

Li Yongzhen waved a stack of concertos in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Duke, these are the excerpts of the governors from all over the country to invite you to establish a shrine."

There can be so many excerpts, and the Duke of Governor's literature has become a martial virtue, and it is indeed a shock to the past and the present! ”

"Oh, there are so many excerpts from the Lisheng Ancestral Hall?"

When Wei Zhongxian saw the thick stack of concerts, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and the smile lines on his face instantly became a lot more.

"Yongzhen, you help the miscellaneous family sort out well. There are so many, and the miscellaneous family really can't afford it. After thinking about it, Wei Zhongxian said with a wry smile.

This Lisheng Ancestral Hall is a good thing, but with so much, he Wei Zhongxian is not blessed to bear it.

This His Majesty gave him face, can he Wei Zhongxian just take it all with his face.

"Duke, the little one is still reading to you one by one, who to choose or not to choose, you have to decide personally!" Li Yongzhen said respectfully.

Wei Zhongxian said to let him sort it out, but Li Yongzhen really didn't dare to make a decision for Wei's father-in-law.

You know, these pieces represent more than just the Lisheng Ancestral Hall. These pieces also represent the officials' devotion to Wei Gonggong.

Who does not accept this, Li Yongzhen does not dare to interfere with it.

Wei Zhongxian was very satisfied with Li Yongzhen's knowledge. Leaning back on the Taishi chair, Wei Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction.

"Duke, the little one will read it to you in the order of the time of the request."

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's slight bow, Li Yongzhen began to read one by one.

Mao Yilu, the governor of Yingtian, Zhang Pujian, the governor of Xuanda, Cao Erzhen, the governor of Shanxi, Yan Mingtai, the governor of Shuntian, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong......

"Governor, it's a good thing, it's a great thing."

A shout interrupted Li Yongzhen's recitation, and Cui Chengxiu and Feng Quan walked in one after another with the shout.

"It's a good thing, it's obviously a bad thing. Duke, you have to stop them? ”

Without waiting for Wei Zhongxian to ask, Feng Quan angrily retorted Cui Chengxiu.

Hum.

Wei Zhongxian snorted heavily.

"Chengxiu, what's going on?"

Seeing that several people were quiet, Wei Zhongxian asked coldly.

was stirred by them, and Wei Zhongxian's rare good mood was stirred again.

"Duke, what do you see?"

Cui Chengxiu ignored Feng Quan's ugly face and handed over a piece of music in his hand.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the concerto, and his eyes immediately widened.

Although Wei Zhongxian didn't know words, he still recognized a string of numbers when they were put together.

"What is this?"

"Duke, this is what Xiao'er said." Cui Chengxiu said triumphantly.

"This is a transcript sent by Sun Ming, the tax supervisor of Qingzhou. The total amount of taxes paid by the tax supervisor Sun this time is 153,800 taels. ”

Before Wei Zhongxian could be happy, Feng Quan shouted in a hurry: "Dugong, this Sun Ming has made a big injustice and killed innocents, you have to stop him quickly." This wind must not rise! ”

Seeing Feng Quan so out of shape, Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly again.

"What's the panic? The sky won't fall yet. Wei Zhongxian said coldly.

Forced by Wei Zhongxian's cold words, Feng Quan could only stop in embarrassment.

Since the shrinkage of the Lin family's property in Haining, Wei Zhongxian has intentionally or unintentionally begun to alienate Feng Quan and Gu Bingqian.

Wei Zhongxian has found that in terms of the attitude towards the Ming gentry, Feng Quan, Gu Bingqian and his views are really a big gap.

They can no longer be as close as they were when they dealt with the Donglin Party.

Among the backbone of the eunuch party, only Cui Chengxiu is still standing closely behind Gonggong Wei.

"What the hell is going on?"

Wei Zhongxian deliberately ignored Feng Quan and asked Cui Chengxiu.
