Back in the palace, it was naturally impossible for Lin Yi to continue to follow Xiao Mu and participate in the urgent discussions with the cabinet elders and the scholars of various ministries - after all, the two major matters were very serious, even if they were travelers, it was more appropriate to observe some feudal etiquette in this case.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that day, when Lin Ye was about to fall asleep that Xiao Mu finally ended this anxious discussion and came to Lin Ye's dormitory exhausted.

Lin Yi knew that Xiao Mu would come, so he insisted on not going to sleep; And Xiao Mu also knew that Lin Yi was very concerned about these two urgent deliveries, and told her the results of his discussion with the elders, and then asked her to help him analyze the pros and cons, which was also very necessary for Xiao Mu. So both of them have the idea and tacit understanding to discuss again.

All in all, although it was very late, it could be said that Xiao Mu came at the right time, because at this time it was the peak of Lin Lingo's sleepiness, and if Xiao Mu didn't come again, she would probably fall asleep, and now as soon as Xiao Mu came, Lin Ye's sleepiness that had just reached the peak disappeared without a trace.

"How's the discussion going?" Also after retiring the eunuch palace maid in Lin Ye's bedroom, Lin Ye immediately asked a question that was almost meaningless and necessary, because even if she didn't ask Xiao Mu, she would say it.

"The general direction can be determined, that is to say, the family wealth of those unscrupulous businessmen who fornicated with Houjin in Zhangjiakou this time must not be left." Xiao Mu sat down and took a sip of tea and continued, "Your idea is really good, when I proposed this idea, they all seemed to grasp the straw that saved their lives, especially the Hubu Shangshu, called Bi Ziyan, who was almost so excited that he cried out, and almost lost his honor in front of the emperor." ”

"I really want to know this Hubu Shangshu, what's it called?" Lin Yi said halfway, and habitually forgot the unfamiliar name of the ancient.

"I remember mentioning this person to you before, his name is Bi Ziyan, and he is the Hubu Shangshu who cries poor behind the sect all day long." Xiao Mu replied.

Xiao Mu's reminder made Lin Yi think about it for a moment, "Yes, it's Bi Ziyan, I really want to get to know this household secretary, I can be the family of this Ming Dynasty, and I am really a 'good woman can cook without rice' of the unparalleled talent, if someone else is to be his household secretary, it is estimated that it will not be to cry poor behind the sect, but to resign directly." ”

"Yes, although many people have different opinions in the process of today's discussion, all the elders and scholars present are convinced of Bi Ziyan's ability to open up sources and reduce expenditure in financial management." Xiao Mu also agreed with Lin Yi's statement, "But even if you can manage your finances, you still have to have money to manage, so this time I know that with such a large amount of businessman's wealth that has not been copied, Bi Ziyan will be so excited." ”

"I don't know yet, how much family wealth is copied from Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku in Zhangjiakou this time?" Lin Yi was finally aroused by the curiosity in her heart, it was obvious that this would be an astronomical amount, for such a huge amount of money, Lin Yi could not start to care about the amount until now, it was already very clear that she actually did not value money at all.

"According to Luo Yangxing's report, in this case, all the confiscated income is about two million taels, not including Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku's large number of land and houses, but the land property cannot be completely cleared for a while, and the house is not easy to realize, so what can be used now is the two million taels of gold and silver and floating wealth." Mentioning the amount of property confiscated from the merchants in Zhangjiakou, Xiao Mu's expression also changed a few times, after all, this is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for him, and the huge amount of money that can make Bi Ziyan so excited that he almost cries will naturally not make Xiao Mu indifferent.

"It turned out that there was so much money." Lin Yi couldn't help but be a little shocked, "It seems that doing business with the Mongols outside the customs is really profitable......"

"It's just a pity that this money can only be earned by those businessmen who are chasing profits with all their might, and the court of the Ming Dynasty can't make it." Xiao Mu also said very regretfully.

"We haven't discussed this issue before, if we let the court of the Ming Dynasty do this business, it would be good not to lose money, in the current situation, only the 'official supervision and business office' is the most suitable." Lin Yi said, and then asked another question, "But Zhangjiakou has handled such a big case, don't they come to Zongdao and they don't know that there will be dirty money to be copied?" I couldn't have been so excited today. ”

"I also just learned about this, because I sent Luo Yangxing to handle the case in Zhangjiakou with Jinyiwei, so the dirty wealth that was not copied back is actually my personal property as the Ming Emperor, and it does not need to be returned to the treasury, and it has nothing to do with that household Shangshu Bi Ziyan." Xiao Mu explained to Lin Yi the "common sense" that he had just learned, and finally concluded, "In short, it is equivalent to me paying out of my own pocket, so my own treasury money is similar to the feeling of investing a large amount of angel investment in the treasury." ”

"Angel investment ......" Lin Yi didn't know how to evaluate Xiao Mu's description, "Actually, isn't this like a left-handed hand-to-right-handed?" Anyway, whether it is the inner treasury or the national treasury, it is actually your money as the Ming Emperor. ”

"That's true, but it's actually very different." Xiao Mu then "popularized" the new knowledge that he had just understood, "The money in the treasury is the tax collected every year, basically every year, theoretically it should be about the same every year, and at the same time with the expenditure of the imperial court, of course, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that the annual tax is getting less and less, and the expenditure is increasing." And the inner treasury is purely equivalent to the wallet of the emperor himself, and the money in it can be said to be my pocket money, and it is not like the treasury has a stable source, this time the money from the inner treasury is used for disaster relief, that is, a hammer deal, and when the money in the inner treasury is used up, there will be no more in a short time. ”

"So, you spent all the money in the inner treasury this time?" Lin Yi continued to ask.

"Not yet, I've left some for emergency use." Xiao Mu shook his head and denied, "And I can't use the money of the inner treasury to solve everything, in this way, those ministers in the court will know that I, the emperor, will pay for everything, so they will not work hard, and they will not actively think of ways to deal with problems, but rely on my inner treasury, and I am afraid that they will not know how to save when they spend money." ”
