Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

In ancient times, the emperor was the embodiment of God, the supreme ruler, within the scope of his rule, all the property was his, but the Ming Dynasty had a cabinet system, the emperor's "unreasonable" edicts, you can refuse to draft, seal and perform, such as some unreasonable expenses.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one internal transport warehouse, and the emperor's spending and state expenditure were tied together.

In the seventh year of orthodoxy, the Tai Warehouse of the Household Department was established, and the real treasury was officially established. Since then, there has been a formal distinction between the treasury and the inner treasury. The Inner Treasury continued to be obligated to pay the generals, while the Taiku was responsible for the important task of military expenditure, perhaps as a result of the widespread uprisings and foreign wars of the time.

In a word, the inner treasury is the emperor's small treasury, which can be spent as much as he wants, and the treasury is the state expenditure, and the emperor wants to use the silver of the treasury, which must be approved by the minister and be constrained, so the emperor has done everything possible to increase his small treasury, in addition to fixed tax sharing, mining tax, and the income of the imperial village, etc., that is, the property of corrupt officials has been confiscated, and Jiajing has to come in with one foot.

That's how the several houses in Dongzhimen came about.

I have to say that this is the progress of a society.

Yes, I owe Zhao Jin a favor again.

Early the next morning, before he arrived, Yu Jin was already waiting in front of the drum tower at Dongzhi Gate.

I don't know who the Internal Affairs Office will send to sell, but the people who can have something to do with the emperor's inner treasury will definitely not have a low status, and Yu Jin doesn't dare to let them wait.

made an appointment for a moment, but the time came, and he didn't wait for someone to come, Yu Jin stood until his legs were weak, if it weren't for Zhao Jin's line, he would have wanted to leave.

It wasn't until three o'clock that I finally saw a man leading two tiger-backed guards to appear.

Perhaps, it cannot be described as a man:

"Are you Yu Jin?"

Just when Yu Jin wanted to ask, a white-faced and beardless man said in a hoarse voice similar to a duck's voice, and the piercing voice startled Yu Jin.

This man is about forty years old, his skin is much more delicate than that of ordinary men, and there is no Adam's apple in his throat, coupled with the voice that is neither yin nor yang, it is obvious that this is a eunuch who came out of the palace.

Yu Jin immediately said: "Exactly, I don't know the name of my father-in-law?" ”

The white-faced eunuch didn't speak, and one of the guards said loudly: "This is Gonggong Chen, who is the master of ceremonies and the admiral, and he is not ready to salute." ”

"The little one has seen Grandpa Chen." Yu Jin immediately saluted.

The celebrant is the head of the "twelve eunuchs" who manage the eunuchs and palace affairs in the inner court of the Ming Dynasty, and his status is very special.

Chen Hong's nostrils turned to the sky, and he said lazily: "Young Master Yu, hehe, you want to buy a house?" ”

When you say you buy a house, you say you buy a house, why do you add "hehe" two sneers, and when you hear it, you feel chilled, and goosebumps are up.

"Yes, I want to find a suitable house to live in."

"We still have errands in a while, let's go." Chen Hong snorted coldly, and without waiting for Yu Jin to agree, he took the lead and walked forward.

It's cold, and the shelf is really big.

Being late for so long, without the slightest apology, with a face like frost, a strange voice, and no formal communication, it makes people feel like some staff in later generations have three dilemmas: ugly faces, ugly words, and difficult things.

It is said that eunuchs have physical defects, and they will also have defects in their thoughts and behaviors, and now that I think about it, this is not unreasonable.

Thinking about it, Yu Jin hurriedly followed.

That Chen Hong is very familiar with the capital, his steps are very fast, he took Yu Jin left and right, and in less than half an hour, he took Yu Jin into a somewhat dilapidated house in Yongchang Hutong, took out a key from his waist to open the lock, pushed open the door, turned his head and glanced at Yu Jin, and said expressionlessly: "Young Master Yu, please." ”

"There is Lao Chen's father-in-law." Yu Jin nodded and followed in.

Some dilapidated courtyards, Yu Jin has not yet entered the heart of a little retreat, go in to see, the heart is even more cold: this is a set of courtyard house, the front yard is full of weeds, doors and windows are broken, there is a thick layer of dust everywhere, many places have fallen paint, those window paper ten none of the ten is good, giving people a dilapidated, desolate, rotten feeling.

"Hey, what is this?" Yu Jin saw dark red marks on a white wall, and felt strange.

A long-faced guard heard this, and said with a nonchalant face: "Oh, this is a house of a criminal officer, I heard that there was a concubine who came to stop it during the raid, and was cut off on the head with a knife, and the blood is hers, those guys are really lazy, and they haven't cleaned it up." ”

What? And this one?

Dare to love this is a murderous house.

The gap between reality and ideal is too big, Yu Jin's face twitched, and he turned his head to Chen Hong and said, "Grandpa Chen, I"

Before Yu Jin could finish speaking, Chen Hong coldly interrupted him and said, "Okay, since you are optimistic, then pay the silver, five hundred taels." ”

What the? I haven't said I want it, and the price hasn't been talked about yet, so I want five hundred taels when I open my mouth?

A set of ordinary courtyard houses in the capital, that is, about fifty taels, is that this house uses more wood, there is an abandoned small garden in the front yard, and it is in a good position Yongchang Hutong, one hundred taels of the sky, now don't say a word, open your mouth and ask yourself for five hundred taels, this guy is not crazy, right?

Yu Jin was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "Father-in-law Chen, this house is not very suitable, are we?"

"Presumptuous!" Chen Hong suddenly reprimanded loudly: "What a big boldness, do you think this is a vegetable market, you can buy it if you want to, and you can bargain if you want to?" Tell you, this house is the emperor's, you can buy such a house, it is your blessing, it is not easy for the master to go out of the palace, today you buy is to buy, if you don't buy it, you have to buy it, if you push back to it, hehe, don't blame our family for being ruthless. ”

Nema, buy and sell!

Yu Jin never dreamed that this matter would fall on his head, and he thought that it was Zhao Jin's way, these eunuchs would be polite to themselves, and then give a big discount.

It seems that he is thinking too much, thinking about it, Zhao Jin is the imperial history of the left capital, this kind of thing is definitely not suitable to come forward, it is estimated that it is a bridge for others to come forward, and this is it, this eunuch has made himself wait for so long.

If you buy a dilapidated and old murderous house for five hundred taels, you will definitely have to vomit blood.

By the way, Yinzi, Yu Jin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally remembered Zhao Er's housekeeper's instructions.

Eunuchs can't pass on the ancestry, and they are not treated well by the world, so they take yellow and white things very seriously, all of them are dead and want money, and some dare to steal out and sell palace things in order to get money.

"Father-in-law Chen, Yu has a few words I want to inquire, and I ask Father-in-law Chen to move a little."

"What's mysterious about it?" Gonggong Chen looked displeased, but he still walked aside with Yu Jin.

When he walked, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yu Jin said with a smile: "On this hot day, it is not easy for my father-in-law to go all the way, there is a bit of broken silver here, my father-in-law and the two eldest brothers take it to drink a bowl of tea, and they should be careful in the next step." ”

Broken silver?

Chen Gonggong had some disdain in his eyes, and just wanted to speak, he suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was an extra yellow and clear gold ingot in his hand, and he turned it lightly, and the bottom was marked with the mark of Dasheng Qianzhuang.

This is a gold ingot of ten taels, folded into silver, that is a hundred taels of silver, Rao is Chen Hong is the master of ceremonies, let alone have to save for more than two years.

That's a lot of money.

"Well, on this hot day, it's good to have a cup of tea, or Yu Gongzi will be sympathetic to our family's errands." Chen Hong quietly put the gold ingots into his sleeve and said with a pleasant face.

As he spoke, the wrinkles on his old face bloomed layer by layer like a chrysanthemum, and he smiled like a summer flower.

Compared with the dripping face just now, it is as magical as changing faces.

No wonder Zhao Er's housekeeper deliberately told himself that it was easy to deal with these eunuchs with the face of "Brother Kong Fang".

"Where, do you want Grandpa Chen to take care of it."

"Yo, our family remembered" Chen Hong suddenly smiled and said: "In Yuanda Hutong, there is also a house, if Yuzi doesn't dislike it, let's go and take a look, you all know this house, naturally you have to pick until you are satisfied." ”

After receiving Yu Jin's gold ingots, Chen Hong suddenly became very enthusiastic.

"Father-in-law Lao will lead the way." The money has been spent, how can you not go?

Yu Jin responded very happily.
