Chapter 437: Checking the Accounts

After this short turmoil, although the princess and Xiao Yuan did not tear their faces publicly, Fang Yuan was faintly aware that the princess gave birth to a daughter, and the blatant friction between the two daughters was indeed less, but it fueled Xiao Yuan's greater ambitions.

Xiao Yuan didn't seem to contradict each other, but on the contrary, the princess obeyed the princess's words, but in fact, Xiao Yuan completely ignored the backyard rules set by the princess, and didn't put the princess who couldn't give birth to a son in her eyes.

Fang Yuan thought about it, the only way to consolidate the status of the princess was that the princess had to give birth to a son, and then Fang Yuan immediately made this son the heir, so that Xiao Yuan could completely die. Therefore, for five days in a row, Fang Yuan did not inspect and deal with military and political affairs, but stayed in the Governor's Palace, and was busy making villains with the princess in the dormitory.

And Qian Qianyi, who was arrested from Guangdong, was imprisoned in Jinyiwei's edict, and did not deduct Qian Qianyi in terms of treatment, but still provided three meals a day according to his status as a jinshi in the imperial examination.

Since Qian Qianyi was arrested and returned to the Governor's Palace, in the past few days, people have been coming to the door through various channels to plead for mercy, asking Fang Yuan to release Qian Qianyi. Some of these door-to-door people gave silver, some gave land, and even many women.

Where is it possible to buy Fang Yuan with just silver and land? and the woman who sent it made Fang Yuan feel even more funny. Qin Huai Bayan's boss Liu is like this, and Chen Yuan, who is the most outstanding, are all in Fang Yuan's bag, Fang Yuan has not yet had the heart to get involved, let alone these vulgar fans.

Fang Yuan didn't bother to see these people, so he directly ordered Jinyi Wei to drive them away.

A few days later, cabinet members Xi Benzhen and Mao Bijiang also came to the door. Although the two of them said euphemistically, they were still exploring Fang Yuan's tone and whether they really wanted to kill Qian Qianyi. Fang Yuan was noncommittal to the two, and the two of them stated to Fang Yuan the disadvantages of killing Qian Qianyi, anyway, the meaning in and out of the words was quite clear, Qian Qianyi would not kill if he could not kill.

Fang Yuan casually coped with sending the two away, he had to admire Qian Qianyi's reputation in Jiangnan. If this person was not suddenly afraid of death before throwing himself into the water, and the water was too cold, this person's historical evaluation would definitely be on a par with Shi Kefa, who was martyred in Yangzhou City, a proper national hero.

However, the only one who died after thousands of hardships was Qian Qianyi, but he didn't dare to jump into the water. As a result, the traitor who has been stinking for 10,000 years and covering the coffin is conclusive, and even Qianlong has appointed him as a second minister.

Those who should have come to intercede came, and those who should not have come to intercede also came, but the one who should have come to intercede the most did not come for a long time.

Fang Yuan was secretly surprised, Sister Liu, what are you doing?

Seven days later, Fang Yuan found Xiao Yuan, who had been grounded and thought about it behind closed doors, and asked her and the independent accounting team to report one by one on the affairs that had been approved by the Governor's Office in the past year, as well as all the affairs that refused to be approved.

Xiao Yuan didn't seem to have been punished and thought about it behind closed doors, and reported military and political affairs to Fang Yuan as usual. It was impossible for her not to be angry, but she was obviously forbearing, after all, the princess could not give birth to a son at the moment, and there was no real threat to her for the time being. At present, the real threat is only herself, if she jumps up and down again to provoke the princess and provokes Fang Yuan, it will affect Fang He, and she will lose all the games by mistake.

The military and political affairs handled by Xiao Yuan have a degree of rewards and punishments, and those that should be approved and those that should not be approved are strictly refused, and there are only a few things that are slightly different from Fang Yuan's ideas. In the past year, there have only been a few inappropriate votes, and Fang Yuan is very satisfied with such an achievement.

The accounts of the independent accounting team are also clear, and the reconciliation with local governments and emergency reserve fields is also meticulous and there are no omissions.

Fang Yuan closed the account book with satisfaction, and was about to open his mouth to praise Xiao Yuan for a few words, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong with this account, and a question also arose in his mind. Fang Yuan's jurisdiction has at least one capital and two provinces, nearly fifty prefectures, each prefecture is different, and people's arms are still long and short, how can there be a tight and seamless account in this world? It's incredible!

Fang Yuan forcibly took back the words of praise, changed his words, and asked with an unmoved face, "Mrs. Yuan, have these accounts been repeatedly corrected?" ”

Xiao Yuan was good at observing words and feelings, Fang Yuan's expression before he spoke was obviously different, and he hurriedly followed his words and said, "Yes, some state capitals have more corrections, and some state capitals have less corrections. ”

Her answer was almost leaky, Fang Yuan sighed lightly, and asked again, "I also want to take a look at the original account books before the correction." ”

Xiao Yuan was stunned, but he still asked Qiu Lin, the head of the independent accounting group, to get the most original account books before the correction data.

Fang Yuan flipped a few pages casually, he was not proficient in accounting and bookkeeping, and he had a headache to see these numbers, and turned a few pages. Then he smiled and said, "Mrs. Yuan, leave these account books, and I will return them to you after reviewing them." ”

Xiao Yuan replied softly with an unmoved face, and there was no weakness in his heart, dodging.

After Xiao Yuan left, Fang Yuan stared at her back and didn't say a word.

After a long time, Fang Yuan suddenly asked Hu Qi to find Princess Kunxing and Wang Chengen. He ordered Wang Chengen to find a few little eunuchs to check the original account books and the corrected account books to see if there were any deviations.

Wang Chengen was originally the chief eunuch in charge of the ceremonial eunuch, and the reconciliation and approval of the cabinet was the daily work before, and he hurriedly took a few eunuchs to check the accounts one by one.

Wang Chengen was busy checking over there, and Fang Yuan asked Princess Kunxing again, "Madam, how does Mrs. Yuan's independent accounting team work on weekdays?" ”

Because the princess has never interfered in the specific affairs of the independent accounting team on weekdays, but on the surface, she still knows a thing or two, "The prince sent people to observe, and the reconciliation method between the imperial cabinet and the local political departments and state governments is the same, and those state officials bring account books to the governor's palace to reconcile accounts with the independent accounting team. ”

Fang Yuan was silent for a while, with the relationship between the princess and Xiao Yuan, she would inevitably pay attention to Xiao Yuan's every move, since she couldn't see the abnormality, there should be no abnormality!

After an hour, Wang Chengen's side also completed the check, and reported to Fang Yuan that although there were some deviations between the original account books and the corrected account books, this small deviation was tolerable when the master of ceremonies approved the red before.

Fang Yuan was silent again, if even Wang Chengen, who had been in charge of the ceremonial supervisor for several years, didn't see any stubble in the account books of the independent accounting group, there should be no stubble! Is it really that I am too careful?

But the vague incompatibility in Fang Yuan's heart still didn't disappear, his intuition told him that there would never be such a neat account in this world, there must be a problem in the middle, but where the problem was, he couldn't think of it for a while.

The princess asked, "What's the matter, donkey?" Did the Independent Accounting Group go wrong? ”

Fang Yuan looked up at him and put on a smile, "No, maybe I'm too careful." Madam, when the state capitals come to reconcile the accounts next year, you should pay more attention to how the independent accounting team accounts for the accounts. ”

When the princess saw him say something, she obviously hid half of it, but it was about the fight with Mrs. Yuan in the backyard, and as the mistress of the backyard, she still didn't want to show too much trace against Mrs. Yuan. Since Fang Yuan didn't want to speak, she didn't ask anymore.

Fang Yuan ordered all those little eunuchs to go down, and suddenly said to Hu Qi, "Xu Cheng, that kid, has you grown a little this year?!" ”

Xu Cheng is Xu Hua's youngest son, when Fang Yuan went to worship Xu Hua, he was smashed on the head by this kid, so he took him back to the Governor's Mansion and incorporated him into Jinyiwei, and went to manage the petition mailbox of Suzhou Mansion full-time. His father died in this mailbox, and Fang Yuan wanted him to take it as a warning.

Hu Qi reported, "That kid did a pretty good job in the petition mailbox, and he personally ran every case, all according to the law, and did not accept a bribe, but all the people who went to the petition office called him Xiao Qingtian." ”

The child can be taught! It's not in vain!

Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Old Hu, go and call Chen Yuan!" ”
