Lady Bong's House, inside the hall

Qiao Mu first asked his subordinates to go down.

Then, he asked with a serious expression:

"I'll talk about the rest of the matter when they come.

I'll just ask you two questions.

How much money is owed to the treasury?

How much money has been bribed over the years? ”

The question of arbor is very acute.

If someone else asked, maybe Zhen Shijia would have killed him.

But now it's his mother who asks.

can only smile bitterly, helplessly:

"Mother, who are you listening to some nonsense.

Our family has always kept to itself, how can we do such a corrupt thing, as for the money owed to the treasury......"

"Shut up!

Are you blind or deaf?

Do you think that your mother and I have been in the palace for decades in vain, tell me honestly.

There is no cover-up or fiction. ”

The original body was actually very aware of her son's corruption and bribery, but the original body believed that her son's corruption and bribery were allowed by the above, and he had already returned the embezzled silver to the treasury.

But it wasn't until the house was raided that she didn't know that her son had not paid a penny to the treasury, and he had been owing millions of taels of silver to the treasury.

Isn't this looking for death?

"Mother, what's wrong with you?

Didn't you always ignore these things before, but today, all of a sudden, who said ......"

Zhen Shijia is still diverting the topic.

Qiao Mu tapped the ground with his cane and said angrily:

"What, you still want to kill people?

Who do you think you can hide?

Do you think that if someone didn't give you a pocket, you would not be impeached if you were corrupt and bribery?

You idiot!

Give me back the money from the treasury as soon as possible. ”

"Mother, what does this mean?

Isn't the silver that our family owes to the treasury because of the four successions, this is originally the money that our family spent for the royal family, how can there be any reason for us to pay it back, this is also too ......"

Zhen Shijia was still a little dazed.

In his opinion, the reason why their family owes the treasury five million taels of silver is because their family has taken four drives, and the emperor's palace in the south of the Yangtze River, including all the food needs, is paid by his family.

Obviously, the money was spent on the emperor, so why should their family pay back the debts owed?

That's not right.

"Why do you think the emperor would let you come here to do Jiangnan weaving, and why did he allow you to meddle in Jiangnan salt politics, and even allow you to sell salt.

Do you think it's because I trust you?

I was worried that you wouldn't be able to pay back the treasury, so I specially found you silver, I thought you could understand the mind of the saint, but today I found out that you haven't returned a penny of silver to the treasury until now, what do you want to do?

You idiot! ”

The original body has always been very clear about the emperor's meaning, and it is precisely because of this that she will turn a blind eye to her son to do some corruption and bribery, because she knows that this is allowed by the emperor, and as long as the debt is returned, it will not be investigated.

But the original body really didn't expect that his son would be so stupid as to think that the money in the treasury would not have to be returned.

Qiao Mu can only point out directly at this time.

The comprehension is so poor that I can only say it clearly.

"This ...... How could it be? ”

Zhen Shijia originally thought that the reason why he was able to appreciate the emperor was because of his outstanding ability and his mother.

I never thought there would be this layer.

But now listen to what his mother has to say.

It's really interesting.

Suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, there was a sense of panic that he had been monitored by the emperor.

"Mother, what should I do then?"

"What to do? You haven't told me how much money you owe to the treasury, and how much have you embezzled?

Don't say it quickly, I also have a staff officer. ”

Qiao Mu suddenly glared at him angrily and asked.

"Okay, mother, I'll just say it.

When we took over the first time, our family didn't have much silver, and the whole family could only squeeze out 50,000 taels of silver, but 50,000 taels of silver couldn't even get out of the foundation of the palace, so we borrowed 1.5 million taels of silver from the treasury to build the palace.

Later, it cost another 500,000 taels to take over.

The second time it cost 600,000 taels.

The third time, because the time spent in the saint was relatively short, it only cost 400,000 taels of silver.

The fourth time was also 600,000 taels.

These are borrowed treasuries.

In addition, the annual maintenance cost of the palace and the attendants are also about 100,000 taels.

Combined, five million taels were owed to the state treasury.

As for the filial piety of silver.

Every year, merchants will probably send thousands or tens of thousands of taels of filial piety, and salt merchants will send more, and they can get more than 600,000 taels a year on average.

The salt merchant can pick the salt down the point.

There are also about 400,000 taels per year.

Recently, the new salt patrol imperial history is more rigorous, this year to be less, maybe only 200,000, over the years, there should be about 5 million, some businessmen are sending some antiques and curios, not very good valuation, I can't say. ”

Speaking of the embezzled silver in the back, Zhen Shijia himself really couldn't say the word corruption.

Therefore, it is only said that filial piety is given to silver.

"Since you can fill the hole in the treasury, then you can take time to pay back the money you owe to the treasury."

As soon as Qiao Mu's words fell, he saw Zhen Shijia's head lowered deeper, and he immediately understood that there might be some problems among him that he had not explained.

Busy asked again, "What's the problem?" ”

"Mother, I'm afraid there is not enough money at home.

The six princes want silver, and I, as the grandfather of the six princes, must have some silver. ”

The original granddaughter who was drafted into the palace as a concubine is Zhen Shijia's daughter.

Of course, there is also the operation of the original body.

For example, from time to time, let the granddaughter enter the palace to see herself, and by the way, she had a chance encounter with the emperor.

In this way, the granddaughter of the original body is naturally a little more familiar with the emperor, and the original body tells the emperor some habits and temperaments to his granddaughter, and deliberately flatters her, and the granddaughter of the original body naturally has a good relationship with the emperor.

even became a favorite concubine and gave birth to six princes.

After having a prince, Zhen Shijia inevitably became more courageous, and at the same time had some ideas about the throne, wanting to put his grandson on the throne, so that their Zhen family would be able to maintain its glory for another hundred years.

"Do you want to win over the minister with money?

This is really a downward strategy, do you think that the Holy Lord has no fear of those princes who have reached adulthood, and even have sons and daughters?

So tell me how much is left? ”

Qiao Mu glared at him and continued to ask.

"Uh...... There are about two million taels left......"

Zhen Shijia's head was still lowered.

"After you go back today, you will sell all the antiques in your house, anyway, everything you can sell will be sold, you can make up as much silver as you can, at least give me another two million, and I can take out another one million taels here."

The money in the treasury could not be delayed any longer.

The Holy One should have a number of how much you can embezzle each year, and if you delay any longer, the Holy One will probably be a little dissatisfied with you, understand? ”

The original body is very clear about the emperor's temperament.

It is very clear that the current emperor is the kind of temperament that love is inflicted on the knees, and evil falls into the abyss, if he has a good impression of someone, then it is possible to reward him lavishly, and even not hesitate to take the title, but once he has a bad feeling, he may also turn his face in an instant and involve the whole family.

If he didn't hurry up and return the money within his patience period, there would be no way to turn around.

If you pay it back in time, he will think that you are still a loyal minister, not only knowing that you are worried about the royal family, but also knowing that you will stop in time and not trespass, but if you don't pay it back in time, then he will feel that you have to make inches, and you don't think about the emperor's grace, which is definitely not a good one.
