Chapter Ninety-Four: You're Not Short of Money
Let a Jinyi guard go to check the minister of the salt administration, how does Li Yan feel a little unreliable. This time, not only Li Yan, but even Zhao Shun felt that things were a little tricky.
Yan Maoqing is the imperial history of Zuodu, and he was ordered to manage the salt administration, if he went rashly, he would definitely not get any results, and maybe people would beat him up and say that he had framed him.
After discussing with Zhao Shun for a long time, Li Yan asked Mu Bin again, and Mu Bin also said that he couldn't help him, this is what Emperor Hongzhi meant, if Mu Bin investigates the case, it will be overstepping his duties, even if Mu Bin is the commander of Jinyiwei, it is useless, and he can only help Li Yi as an outsider at some specific times.
At night, Li Yan fell asleep.
The next day, before dawn, Li Yan interrogated the group of rebels under Sun Ying's reluctance to interrogate the group of rebels in the starry night.
The results were taken by surprise.
According to the confessions of this group of chaotic people, now this case has occurred in the four regions of Liangzhejiang, Lianghuai, Changlu and Hedong, the people have been displaced, and the place where Yan Maoqing presided over the salt administration is full of complaints, and its people are almost mutinied!
This group of rioters also tried to petition, but the results they got were all inadmissible, and they even encountered gangsters robbing and killing them on the way to petition several times.
It's so complicated.

In the morning, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin to the Qianhu Office, where Li Yan was working and checking the salt political exchanges in various parts of the imperial court every year.
Now the bookkeeping method of the Ming Dynasty is very unique, simple and clear, you can see the expenditure and income at a glance, which is often called the flow account.
This kind of account is easy to remember, and it is naturally convenient to be greedy, and without much effort, Li Yan found several deficits in the project, and no one found such an obvious problem, and Li Yan was also a little puzzled.
Zhu Houzhao didn't bring any good news today, and Emperor Hongzhi still thought that it was more appropriate for Li Yan to be responsible for this matter. However, he told Li Yan that his father and the emperor let Li Yan act expediently.
Li Yan didn't say anything, since it was useless for Zhu Houzhao to intercede, it is estimated that this matter is certain, and it is his own.
showed the accounts to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao stared at them for a long time, but he didn't see the reason, so Li Yan had to patiently explain the powerful relationship to Zhu Houzhao.
After listening, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and he also understood what Li Yan meant.
"Dare to rob my family's money!" Zhu Houzhao was unexpectedly angry, and after seeing the amount of silver pointed out by Li Yan, Zhu Houzhao was even more angry, and he was so angry that he was like a loud shout.
"This group of guys is too much, Li Yan, you take them all out, and then find an opportunity to beat them up from house to house, and you must let them spit out everything they swallowed!"
Zhu Houzhao was extremely indignant
, but when he spoke, he had a kind of profiteer's taste, especially when he had a very familiar light in his eyes, this kind of light Li Yan had seen too much, and it was obviously the shining color of silver.

In the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Hongzhi's face was like sinking water, looking at the account book that Li Yan had clearly marked in his hand, and he couldn't stop admiring.
"Great way! Great way! The cashier and expenditure are clear at a glance, and no details are missed, a good way! ”
Emperor Hongzhi nodded again and again, and couldn't stop exclaiming.
"Li Qianhu, did you create this yourself?"
"Your Majesty, it is exactly, this method is called the loan bookkeeping method, and using this method, the borrower marks the details, and any deficit is well documented."
"Good! Li Qianhu, you created the loan accounting method, and you have a credit? Emperor Hongzhi nodded repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has a word to say, this loan accounting method can only be used by the emperor in the palace when he checks the project, and it cannot be promoted at ordinary times, and it cannot even be known to others." Li Yan said slowly.
Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi just wanted to say something, but with a frown, he swallowed back the words that had already reached his mouth.
Li Yan is right, this loan accounting method is really only available when you have nothing to do, and if you use it in ordinary times, I am afraid it will cause an uproar.
Although the Ming Dynasty is now glamorous, only Emperor Hongzhi himself knows that the Ming Dynasty has been faintly defeated.
There are countless officials large and small in the Ming Dynasty, but who dares to say that they are not greedy, the courtiers that Emperor Hongzhi faces every morning seem to be loyal on the surface, who can guarantee that when they return home, they don't think about how to fill their pockets all day long.
is still the same sentence, the officials of the Ming Dynasty can't help but check, one check is accurate, and Emperor Hongzhi can't check it, because the Ming Dynasty still needs these corrupt officials to maintain.
Li Yan looked at the back of Emperor Hongzhi and couldn't help but feel a little sad, people live in the world, they are all acting, corrupt officials are acting, Qing officials are also acting, and the emperor is also acting, but the emperor has more roles, and he plays the whole world.
Seeing Li Yan, Emperor Hongzhi had some anger on his face, and asked curiously. "How did you and the prince meet?"
Li Yan told the story.
……
…………
After coming over for a while, Li Yan walked out of the palace, and before leaving, Li Yan couldn't help but ask more.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to ask."
"What's the matter?"
Emperor Hongzhi has a good temper, if he had changed someone, he would have sent someone to fork Li Yan out.
"There are many capable people in the imperial court, why does the emperor want me to investigate the affairs of the salt administration?"
"Because the prince said something to me."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled rarely.
"What?"
Li Yan said curiously.
"Li Yankeng is the first."
Emperor Hongzhi blinked his eyes, and his face was a little strange.
"Uh...... The minister was ashamed...... "Li Yan's face was black.
"Actually, there is another reason." Emperor Hongzhi said leisurely.
"I know you have opened a bank in Nanjing, and although I don't know what it is, I know that you are not short of money."
