Chapter 318: Looking for the Golden Boy
Tang Yi relied on the historical context as a reference, and even guessed with suspicion, and guessed most of Xu Jie's abacus, but the actual situation was far more subtle than Tang Yi's guess.
At this time, it was the end of the year, and it was necessary to summarize and dispose of the expenses of various departments, so Xu Jie took the opportunity to study the accounts of the Ministry of Industry. Yan Shifan wrote about the difficulty of transporting timber from the sea very terrifyingly, saying that he wanted to build a large sea ship that could carry huge logs, to settle the natives overseas, to cross the vast sea, and to guard against the elusive Japanese robbers, and the big ships sank five or six ships, and two or three hundred people died...... In a word, in order to restore His Majesty's palace as soon as possible, their Ministry of Engineering is desperate, and it is more difficult than learning scriptures from the west. Not to mention that it only cost one million taels, even two or three million taels should be.
But Xu Jie, after Tang Yi's suggestion, didn't believe in this set at all, transporting timber was not as difficult as Yan Shifan said, as long as the timber was tied to the bottom of the sea boat, it would be transported back. Xu Jie found the official document of the Ministry of War again, and flipped through it for most of the day, and sure enough, there was no expenditure on shipbuilding, and second, there was no pension for the soldiers who died in the naval battle, that is to say, Yan Shifan was lying at all!
Discovering this, Xu Jie's hands and feet trembled with excitement, and he wanted to launch an offensive.
While he was planning how to start, Liang Menglong suddenly played an impeachment of Li Mo during the military department, attacking him for "abolishing the law and engaging in personal gain, and dereliction of duty to the country", and asked Jiajing to "beg for abstinence and clear the road".
The minister has been impeached a lot, and Liang Menglong just asked to reprimand Li Mo, compared to those who want to be killed, it is nothing.
But Xu Jie smelled something strange, and the foreign inspection was about to start in the next year, it was the ghost gate that decided the life and death of foreign officials, Liang Menglong was a minion of the Yan Party, and the impeachment of Li Mo at this time was obviously to give him a little warning in advance. lest he go too far. This is also the inevitable practice of every big guy when he encounters the big plan of Jingcha, he can't cover Ma Zai, is he still worthy of being a black boss!
Jiajing's behavior was equally strange, he let Li Mo serve with peace of mind, and at the same time did not punish Liang Menglong, and became the shopkeeper. Xu Jie, who was familiar with Jiajing's style, felt bad. For decades. Jiajing is capable of being autocratic, and the biggest mystery is checks and balances.
From using Zhang Xuan and others to kill Yang Tinghe and other elders, to supporting Xia Yan to replace Zhang Zhang, and then to using Yan Song to fight Xia Yan, along the way, Jiajing's path was to make the ministers unable to form a fist, fighting with each other, consuming all their energy, and having to pray for the emperor's protection.
Jiajing sometimes secretly adds oil and vinegar. makes the struggle even more tragic, for example, right now, Jiajing is making this calculation......
Since the resumption of the incident, the contradiction between Li Mo and Yan Song has become more and more intense, and this external inspection is likely to be the time for two people to fight to the death.
Xu Jie sat silently in the duty room, his eyes shining, and he tightly held the impeachment of Yan Shifan and Zhao Wenhua in his hand. At this time, it is a fight between the two tigers, if he attacks the Yan party. It is very likely that he will face the crazy retaliation of the Yan Party. As for Li Mo, this Dazai-sama will support himself, fight with the Yan Party to the end, and jointly support Daming?
Decades of ups and downs in the sea have wiped out even a trace of innocence on Xu Jie's body.
He dared to say that Li Mo saw himself fighting with Yan Dang. Maybe he will push it in the back, or even wait until he is killed, and then take action to solve the Yan Party, and become the most powerful person......
Turning his head, Xu Jie was thinking again. What you have in your hands may not be able to take Yan Shifan. After all, there is no ironclad evidence of smuggling, and Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, is a member of the strict party, so he will be injured if he kills the tiger!
The teacher Xia Yan made this mistake back then, and only became the only Shoufu who had a different head in more than a hundred years, and the bloody lesson was in front of him, and he must not repeat the mistakes of the past.
After thinking about it, Xu Jie silently took the candlestick and sent the song to the firelight, seeing that it was about to turn into ashes, and suddenly Xu Jie stopped again.
He didn't want to rush to the front and become a poor sandpipe, so how could Li Mo and Yan Song easily fight hard and let themselves take advantage.
After a whole night of thinking, Xu Jie finally made a perfect plan, he first found Yan Shifan, pretended to discuss the budget with him, and quietly pointed out that the Ministry of Industry has expenditure on sea vessels, but the shipyard under the Ministry of War does not have this expenditure, is it missing?
Xu Jie's politeness frightened Yan Shifan.
I scolded Zhao Wenhua in my heart, and I had to tell a lie to perfection, how could I give someone a handle, the ship didn't fall out of thin air, there must be a source.
Yan Shifan said gloomily: "Thank you for the reminder, I'll go to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to ask." ”
"Hehe, these days are the hard work of the East Building, and we are all busy with it. By the way, Donglou Gong, I have an idea, I don't know if Donglou Gong can appreciate his face. ”
This old man can't be an invitation!
Yan Shifan smiled lightly, "Elder Ge, if you have anything to say, we still need to hide it between us." ”
"Yes, the old man heard that Ling Lang Yan Hu is a young talent, with good conduct, and everyone praises him, my dog happens to have a daughter under his knees, and he wants to marry Ling Lang, I don't know what Xiaoge will do?"
Yan Shifan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Elder Ge, the dog has already married last year, have you ever gone to congratulate you?" ”
The implication is that I can't let my son divorce and remarry!
How do you know that Xu Jieman didn't care, and said with a smile: "A good man oversees nine wives, and the old man in the small pavilion has twenty-seven aunts, who can be worthy of three good men, so Ling Lang is afraid that he can't only guard one, right?" ”
"That's right." Yan Shifan agreed casually, but his heart blossomed.
The granddaughter of a dignified scholar is a concubine for others, and she simply throws her face to the ground, if you don't step on it, I'm sorry for Yan Shifan!
He agreed, returned to Yan Song's duty room, and told his father that Yan Song was calmer than his son. After thinking about it, Xu Jie took the initiative to get married, which was to show favor to himself.
And he and Xu Jie are twenty years apart, if Xu Jie can be obedient, he can't fight with him to the death. And with this family business, in case he can't do it, Xu Jie can still take care of it somewhat.
"Hurry up and help me to see Elder Xu Ge."
Yan Song, with the support of his son, took the initiative to visit Xu Jie, the two sides talked very happily, and the marriage was finalized.
Xu Jie was also very moved, and "embarrassed" to put forward the matter of disaster relief, millions of victims, lack of food and clothing, and it is a cold winter, once people freeze to death, I am afraid that the people will change imminently.
Yan Song thought about it for a while, and also felt that what Xu Jie said was reasonable, and after discussing it with his son, he took out 1.2 million taels to Xu Jie, and when he left, Xu Jie also sent it out, a good family.
When he turned back to the duty room, the corners of Xu Jie's mouth showed an unfathomable smile......
How many years have passed, he has finally cultivated the treasure book of power and conspiracy to the Great Perfection, and Yan Song's father and son have been tricked into it, but this kind of success is too cruel, and he has to exchange his granddaughter's lifelong happiness for it!
Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and threw the woman's benevolence out of the clouds.
Becoming a king and defeating a king, Han Gaozu didn't even care about his biological father, so he got the Han Dynasty, if he wanted to take revenge, get rid of the traitorous party, and sacrifice a granddaughter!
After some discussion, Yan Song and his son decided to compress the expenses of the officials to 300,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the money was given to Jiajing to repair the Yuxi Palace.
It's good now, how can Li Dazai get along well, he reported one million taels, that is still seven deductions and eight deductions, and the Beijing officials are involved in arrears as much as three million taels. Many officials of the Qingshui Yamen couldn't open the pot. There are even people whose homes were damaged in the earthquake and have no money to repair them.
One million taels was given to him and he could barely be scolded, if he only gave three hundred thousand taels, his Li Mo's ancestral tomb would be scolded!
Dazai, who holds the power of personnel, is the first assistant in the general bureau, and both sides have the same qualifications, the same combat power, and many minions. For the sake of the year-end budget, the two sides are-for-tat and do not back down. The cabinet simply turned into a colosseum, noisy and inextricable. Only one Xu Jie was left sneering in secret.
As a big boss, Jiajing also has a headache.
"Emperor, take a sip of tea to quench the fire."
Jiajing took the Tuanlong bowl, took a sip, and his eyes lit up, "Huang Jin, how does this tea look like it was freshly picked?" ”
"Back to the emperor, this is the method that the slave learned in the south, seal the tea leaves, put them in the ice cellar, and take them out when you drink them."
"Well, I really got my skills when I went to Jiangnan." Jiajing looked at Huang Jin with a smile and asked, "You are also in charge of a large stall of the Weaving Bureau, and the sea is not calm, you can always send the silver asked for in the palace in time, what are the tricks?" ”
Hearing Jiajing's question, Huang Jin hurriedly knelt down, "Emperor Qiqi, slaves and maids don't dare to lie, slaves and maids have relied on borrowing from east to west over the years, struggling to maintain." ”
"Who isn't, you can still borrow money, and you can't even borrow silver from these rice buckets. There are more than 7 million taels of silver owed to large households alone, and 20% of the annual income has to be used as interest for them, and I really don't know if the household department of my Ming Dynasty is mine, or those big households! ”
Jiajing sighed helplessly, even if he was the most powerful emperor, he couldn't conjure real money, and in the face of the mess in front of him, he could only sigh with his knees hugged.
Huang Jin peeked at Jiajing, and couldn't help but think in his heart, the emperor is so short of money, how good it would be if he could turn stones into gold!
Huang Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head, what are you thinking, if you have that ability, wouldn't you become a good money boy! It's really a dream, he couldn't help laughing twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he can't do it, but someone can!
Tang Yi helped himself at the beginning, and such a great kindness has not been repaid, if he is recommended to His Majesty, His Majesty will be happy, and Tang Yi's future will not be certain!
Huang Jin didn't think about whether Tang Yi could do it at all, in his eyes, Tang Yi was almost omnipotent except that he couldn't have children, thinking of this, he couldn't help grinning.
"Dog-bold, slave, are you a joke?"
"Ah, the slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid have thought of a person, and he may be able to help the emperor solve his worries." (To be continued.) )
