Chapter 836: "Seizure" (I)

Li Wei's recent words are very sad, who offended him is Bo Guoduo, the prince of Heshuozhuang.

In the clan, the highest ranking is Bo Guoduo, the prince of Heshuozhuang, who is the grandson of Taizong and the cousin of Kangxi. Although he is too old and is not a talent of the government, he is still in the household department.

is this prince, in his old age, he is still lustful. Love Meiji, heavy pleasure, Prince Zhuang's mansion is not big, but its magnificence, in the capital palace is second to none.

In addition to the prince's annual salary of 10,000 taels of silver, there are also Zhuangzi shops and other industries under the name of the palace, and the annual interest is also a lot. However, because of the large expenses, the silver is like flowing water, not to mention anything else, it is the cost of rouge and gouache for dozens of concubines in the palace, which is a lot of money.

Bo Guoduo's life is also tight, so he naturally has to think of ways to make money.

Taking advantage of the duty of the household department, he took the silver treasury of the household department, and for every 1,000 taels of money and grain put into the warehouse, he added the balance of 10 taels.

The reason why the household yamen is a famous fat difference in the six departments is in this "balanced" silver. This "Pingyu", also called "Yuping", is a continuation of the rules of the Ming Dynasty, in the collection of taxes, according to the proportion, a certain share is levied and sent to the household department.

This "surplus" silver does not go into the state treasury, but is directly distributed to household officials.

Now, Bo Guoduo has increased the income of "Yu Ping" by ten taels, and he has an honest income.

He relied on the old and sold the old, while Kangxi cared about his feelings and turned a blind eye, after all, the silver was added and did not affect the income of the household.

Even the fourth elder brother, who was also on duty, could only choose to remain silent about Bo Guoduo's behavior of enriching his own pockets.

Li Wei stabbed the hornet's nest and offended Bo Guoduo.

In fact, he has been in the Cao family for a few years, and he is no stranger to the officialdom. He didn't mean to be nosy, but he was a little anxious when he saw the officials of a certain province escorting the tax silver, because he had not prepared this extra "surplus" silver before, so that the silver could not be put into the treasury for a long time.

The Northwest Army is known as hundreds of thousands, and the military losses in it are all about burning silver.

The treasury of the household department was empty, and the silver escorted from each province had already been booked out every time it arrived in the capital.

The northwest is bitterly cold, and the soldiers can't endure the cold when they go there, and there is a precedent of soldiers freezing to death last year, and for this reason, the military department has to purchase new cotton clothes and transport them to the northwest before winter.

Now, I am waiting for this money to be used as money to buy clothes.

The silver cannot be put into the warehouse, and the purchase of cotton clothes will be delayed.

Although Li Wei did not engage in martial arts, he also paid attention to the war in the northwest. After all, the country is peaceful, and only then can the child live comfortably.

If a soldier who serves the country and the people does not die under the blade of the enemy, but dies in the bitter cold, how can he be embarrassed?

When Li Wei thought of this, he only felt that he didn't dare to sit idly by. Although his grade is not high, he is in charge of the silver storage, and it is justified to talk about this matter.

He first looked for an opportunity and admonished politely, where would Bogoduo hear?

After repeating it again and again, not only Li Wei was annoyed, but Bo Guoduo was also tired of it, and he was thinking about how to teach Li Wei a lesson.

At this time, the local official who escorted the silver made up the "surplus" of the additional collection, and the transfer department handed over the errand.

Bo Guoduo has silver, comfortable and proud, where will he pay attention to the scraping noise in a five-pinlang?

Li Wei listened to the complaints of the officials of the military department who came to support the silver, and the silver here was spent more than half a month late, and the soldiers in the northwest ate it for half a month when they received the new cotton clothes.

In early winter, even if you don't freeze to death, you can't protect yourself from frostbite and frostbite.

When Li Wei heard this, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

He became an official in order to fulfill his parents' wishes, but he also wanted to learn from Cao Hao, who was in his position and was a good official with his chest up.

At this time, Bo Guoduo got the sweetness, and he was already doing it well, and he did the same for the escort officials from other provinces.

Li Wei knew that he was humble and could not stop Bo Guoduo's greed, so he found another way and placed a cabinet in the corridor of the yamen, which read "A certain king wins money".

When the officials of the six ministries who came to the household department to withdraw the money saw this cabinet, they had to gossip and inquire a few words in private.

All of a sudden, the rumors spread quickly.

After all, Bo Guoduo is the body of the prince, and he has to be more or less faced. This act of blackmailing local officials can only be carried out in private in the yamen, and he has some scruples about it above board.

Don't say anything else, being targeted by the imperial history, come to a "no king", even if there will be no mistakes, it is a taboo.

Bo Guoduo had no choice but to endure the embarrassment and no longer mention the matter of the increase, but he hated Li Wei to death in his heart, thinking that he must find a reason to clean up this bastard who hurt his face.

Li Wei knew that he had offended the prince and was unstable, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.

However, he has always had a big heart, thinking that if he returned to his hometown and was filial to his parents, it would be good.

In this way, he was calm. Whether it is Prince Zhuang, who is cold to him, or a colleague who gloating, he can face it as usual.

Who is he, Li Wei, who is the rich man of Xuzhou, who can see the flower world in the capital for a few years, and can also be a difference in the six yamen for two or three years, and this half of his life is not in vain.

He was calm, but someone was entangled, this person was the fourth elder brother who originally looked down on Li Wei.

The fourth elder brother was disgusted by Li Wei's personal misconduct in his early years. Then, the battle between Li Wei and Prince Zhuang made the fourth elder brother look at Li Wei with admiration.

"Are you guilty? The law of the Qing Dynasty, the military and the people are not allowed to talk about the clan relatives! The fourth elder brother looked at Li Wei with a straight face and asked.

When Li Wei heard this, he lowered his head and said, "Weichen is guilty, please punish the prince." ”

That being said, there was a faint disappointment in his heart. It turns out that the fourth elder brother, the cold-faced prince, is the king who is really worried about the country and the people, and he will not understand his own approach like Prince Zhuang.

Unexpectedly, before Prince Zhuang's revenge arrived, the fourth elder brother came forward to "ask for the guilt", how not to make people discouraged?

Seeing that Li Wei drooped his head and didn't say a word, the fourth elder brother glanced at him lightly and said, "Since you know the crime, why don't you go and compensate Prince Zhuang's mansion?" Could it be that you still have to wait for the old prince to ask the 'law' to deal with it" After speaking, he got up and went out.

Li Wei stood in place, thinking about the words of the fourth elder brother, and raised his eyebrows.

If it's not, it's not, he doesn't have the "rather bend than bend" guard. On the surface, it seems that he is soft; In fact, in this way, Bo Guoduo will not attack Li Wei in a short period of time, and will always put on a broad-minded appearance......* When the fourth elder brother saw Li Wei, there was no one else in the room, so only the two of them knew these few words.

So when the thirteenth elder brother told it, there was only this paragraph of Prince Li Weidouzhuang; The rest was told to Cao Hao by Li Wei when he came to Cao's mansion.

Cao Hao listened, and he was only happy for Li Wei.

The fourth elder brother is introverted and low-key, not an eventful person, and he can take the initiative to mention Li Wei this time, which shows that he really appreciates Li Wei.

The future Ming monarchs and ministers will meet like this. When they became famous, they remembered this awkward relationship with the characteristics of the fourth elder brother, and I don't know what they would think...... * Sun Mansion, outside the gate.

Several carriages came from the mouth of the alley, and more than a dozen people on horseback crowded back and forth, standing at the door of Sun's house.

The concierge was the old man of the Sun family, and he recognized at a glance that the person who came in front of him was the uncle of Hangzhou.

Sun Wenqian saw that the porter was only staring at him, and frowned: "You old lady is here, why don't you open the door and let the carriage in?" ”

The porter shuddered, called a small servant, and opened the door one by one.

Sun Jue's house was small, and the carriage couldn't go directly to the second gate, so An got off the carriage in the front yard.

At this time, Sun Jue had already gotten the news and rushed over from the backyard.

Today is not his day of rest, because of the impeachment of the fold, he was suspended from his errand, waiting for the matter to be investigated and examined in detail, before the result.

is a demotion, and he will be dismissed, and he has no bottom in his heart.

Therefore, in the past few days at home, he was upset and began to drink heavily, and today he also drank half a catty of wine.

Now that I am drunk, I say hello to my mother and uncle, and my body is a little unable to stand upright......
