Within the palace walls, Zhou Shuren felt different from the past when he entered the palace again, the first time he was excited and nervous, the second time he was much calmer, and the next few times he was calm, but now he feels the burden on his body, the household is in charge of money, and the responsibility is heavy!

Zhou Shuren looked at Lord Xiao who was walking in front, Lord Xiao was over sixty years old, but compared to the Shangshu of other departments, Lord Xiao looked older, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows were the deepest.

The palace soon arrived, and Lord Xiao took Zhou Shuren into the main hall, and Lord Xiao said, "I have seen the emperor." ”

Zhou Shuren also followed, "I have seen the emperor." ”

The emperor was in a good mood, "The two Aiqing are flat." ”

Lord Xiao got up and took the account books, "Your Majesty, these are the account books of the treasury this month." ”

The emperor looked at the account book placed in the corner of the table, he didn't want to read it, in fact, he didn't look at the account book, he also knew the treasury, well, although the treasury didn't have much silver, "Put it here!" ”

Lord Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, the treasury really didn't have much silver, he took out all the old bottoms he kept, and when he thought of applying for the silver fold, he had a headache, "Your Majesty, the household department really has no silver." ”

The prince was silent, there were less than two hundred and twenty thousand silver left in the treasury, and there was indeed no silver, and these silver were kept for emergencies.

The emperor ordered the table and looked at Zhou Shuren, who was like a background board, "Zhou Aiqing has something to say?" ”

Zhou Shuren knew the result earlier, but he was still very calm, "The minister just took office and didn't know much about the household department, and the minister didn't dare to assert it, and asked the emperor to give the minister a few days to let the minister be familiar with the household department." ”

The emperor was not disappointed, this is Zhou Shuren, "Aiqing still has to get familiar with the household department as soon as possible." ”

"Commandment."

The emperor said to Lord Xiao again: "The heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River continues, and the fold of the silver is pressed a lot, so you can find a way to come up with 100,000 taels." ”

Lord Xiao was a little dizzy, "Ten thousand taels? ”

"One hundred thousand taels."

Lord Xiao's eyes darkened, "Your Majesty, it's really not that the ministers are crying poor, the household hasn't been home for a long time, silver is needed here, and the ministers really don't have any silver!" ”

The emperor patted Lord Xiao on the shoulder, "I believe you can think of a way." ”

Zhou Shuren looked at Lord Xiao with a loveless look on his face, and was silent, this is his future days!

Lord Xiao's heart is bleeding, 100,000 taels, the spare silver in the treasury can't be moved, this army has returned to the court, the most important thing is to pay for the silver, this river flood is also related to the people, and he couldn't help but grab a handful of hair, "Minister, minister." ”

The emperor silently looked away, this Xiao Qing has not been easy for so many years, it's just that he can't leave!

Coming out of the palace, Zhou Shuren looked at Lord Xiao, who was crossing his fingers, "This is about to be the day of fortune again." ”

Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart, this household is really hard, so if you want to live a good life in the future, you still have to pay for it!

Hubu, Lord Xiao got out of the carriage to restrain his emotions, and took Zhou Shuren to introduce them one by one, Hubu Zuo Shilang, Lord Qiu, is fifty years old this year, a few years older than Zhou Shuren.

Later, I saw a lot of Langzhong, and Lord Xiao went to get busy.

Master Qiu took Zhou Shuren to introduce, "There are many departments in the household department, and I can't recognize them all for a while, and when I report, I will recognize the same, you and I will work in this room." ”

There is no silver in the household, but the decoration of the household is not bad, and the house is also bright.

Zhou Shuren said: "When I first arrived at the household department, I didn't know much about the household department, and I wanted to see the information. ”

Lord Qiu pointed to the bookshelf, "This is all the information of the household department, which is placed according to the classification of each department, what you want to see can be found according to the classification, I still have accounts in my hand to be cost-effective, so I will be busy first." ”

Zhou Shuren thanked him and said, "You are busy first." ”

Lord Qiu is not polite, he is really busy, it is not easy for him to spend such a long time with Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren is looking for information for a purpose, the Ministry of Household Stolen Punishment Department, the Department of Household Affairs that continued from the previous dynasty, is in charge of storing the finances confiscated by the government, not to mention that the department officials have ambassadors and deputy envoys, they all only have nine products, and there are a lot of finances that can be controlled.

Zhou Shuren didn't take office, he said that he didn't use his brain, but he knew in his heart that he would have to face it sooner or later when he arrived at the household department, so after understanding the various departments of the household department, he set his sights on this department.

Zhou Shuren took out last year's records, and the specific financial list was stored in the Dirty Punishment Department, where there are only statistical quantities, and the money that was copied has been filled into the treasury and spent, and now only the items are left.

There are really a lot of account books in the dirty punishment department, arranged by year, Zhou Shuren looked at it year by year, and then recorded the total number of each year, and after reading it, Zhou Shuren clicked on the data he recorded.

Zhou Shuren looked up at Zuo Shilang, still bowing his head to check, he didn't bother, he stood up and walked out, he wanted to turn the household around, just now I just looked at a rough idea, this is the first day of office, he is not in a hurry.

Lord Xiao didn't raise his head when he heard the report, "You don't have to follow secretly." ”

"Yes."

Lord Xiao and the others went out, and then raised his head, he hoped that Zhou Shuren could really get the silver, his eyes looked at the folds on the table, and his heart hurt again, these are all for silver!

Zhou Shuren wrote down the locations of various departments of the household department, and met and remembered some officials, and then came back.

Lord Qiu looked up and smiled, and then lowered his head, it is false that he is not resistant to Zhou Shuren, and it is also true that he is looking forward to Zhou Shuren to share the pressure, Zhou Shuren is valued by the emperor, Lord Xiao is promoted, who will do it?

But Zhou Shuren came to the household department, his danger was also a little smaller, now he uses silver money everywhere, there is really a big flood in the south, and the household department can't get the silver money and is condemned, Lord Xiao will be fine, he is difficult to say.

Lord Qiu was in a complicated mood, and he couldn't read the account book in front of him, he really envied Lord Zhong!

Zhou Mansion, Zhulan saw Yao Yao, the maid in the house retreated, Zhulan was a little surprised and said: "We have been in Beijing for many days, I thought you would avoid it, but I didn't expect that you would come to the door in person." ”

Yao Yao said: "I and Xianggong are also helpless, the day Xianggong saw the adult, Xianggong drank two more glasses that night, I actually always wanted to come to see you, but the timing was not right." ”

She also decided to come this time after discussing with her husband for a long time.

Zhulan smiled, "I'm very happy that you can come, now that you are married, what are you going to do with the property you entrusted to the Zhou Mansion?" ”

Yao Yao got up and saluted, "I still have to bother the Zhou Mansion." ”

She doesn't think that everything will be fine if she gets married, this is a back road, and this back road must be kept.

Zhulan smiled, "Okay." ”

Yao Yao didn't stay long, so she chatted a few more words and left.

Zhulan watched Yao Yao leave, and waited for Mrs. Song to send someone back and said, "Look at her complexion and tone when she mentions Shi Qing, these two get along well." ”

Mrs. Song replied: "Miss Yao Er is a transparent and intelligent person, and Shi Qing's son is also successful. ”

It's weird if these two don't get along well!
