Gao Fang smiled.

At his age, there were many wrinkles around his eyes, and with his smile, the lines were layered together.

In fact, his perception of things is a little vague now, but he knows it.

has lived for more than 70 years, and has been in the court for most of his life, looking at people from a high level, and he thinks he has a set.

He believed that Huo Yixiao was telling the truth.

Although, the young man in front of him is awkward, Xu is thin-skinned, and there is some arrogance in his tone, but his intention is real.

Gao Fang sat up straight and spread the paperwork on the table: "In your opinion, what should be the cost of the past few years?" Don't think it's hard to say, just this broken study, there is no third person, you can say whatever you want, Hubu, Taichang Temple, up and down so many people, if you think the problem is, you just have to say. ”

Huo Yixiao looked at Gao Fang, and saw that his expression was extremely serious, so he didn't reserve it, and said his thoughts carefully.

Gao Fang listened, did not interrupt Huo Yixiao's words, and only added tea for him after the other party took a sip of tea due to dry mouth.

After Huo Yixiao finished speaking, Gao Fang touched his beard and nodded.

"My thoughts, like what you say, are pretty much the same." Gao Fang did not hesitate and made a lot of additions.

He has been in Taichang Temple for so many years, and he knows how to spend money reasonably.

In his words, the annual income of the treasury is counted, and if the Taichang Temple spends more, the other yamen will have to spend less, and the same is true for other places.

If the imperial court wants to prosper and let the people live in peace, silver is the most important thing.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Every yamen has to learn how to do the most and the best thing with the least amount of silver, and there are trade-offs and balances in between.

Obviously, today's Taichang Temple is extremely messy!

"I have known Fang Qichuan for many years, he has a lot of careful thoughts, and he can't control his hands, he really wants to grab his braids, grab a big handful," Gao Fang said, "The courage to say is not big, I can't bear it, I say small, the rabbit bites people when he is in a hurry, one is not good, he dares to work hard, but in my opinion, unless he is really pinched to death, otherwise, he does not dare to do anything in the budget of Taichang Temple." ”

Huo Yixiao was upright and listened to Gao Fang's words.

I have to say that Gao Fang saw Fang Qichuan clearly.

Fang Qichuan is such a person, greedy for cheapness, and he can't help but be scared, and he will be indiscriminate when he is stared at by Ebon.

He dared to fight for his life, just like in Wen Yan's dream, when Fang Qichuan was forced by Zhu Sheng to have no way out, he dared to seek Huo Yixuan's life, and at the same time pulled Huikangbo Mansion into the water.

"Why can I say that?" Gao Fang took a sip of tea and said, "Because of the head of the household, Min Hao."

Min Hao's appetite is huge, and Fang Qichuan can't play Min Hao at all, so he doesn't deal with Min Hao.

If he gets on Min Hao's ship, ten percent of the benefits, Min Hao will not give him one percent, so Fang Qichuan won't care about the budget, he can see it, and he shouldn't know.

When things get up, he is at most confused, incompetent, and not at the same level, but he is not greedy for money.

For the sake of the benefits that are not successful, Fang Qichuan is too guilty of embezzlement of ink, he will not do this. ”

At this time, it was Huo Yixiao's turn to add tea to Gao Fang.

Gao Fang continued: "When the first emperor was still there, Min Hao had the idea of Taichang Temple, but he didn't dare to come with me, I also had a bit of face in front of the first emperor, and Min Hao was also afraid.

After the emperor succeeded to the throne, Min Hao was not in a hurry to stretch out his hand, after all, I was so old that I would retire in a few years.

Min Hao later wooed Ge Xu nine times out of ten.

My old subordinates, I still know some of the situation, so Ge Xu dares to seek skin with the tiger and Min Hao for silver.

I ordered Ge Xu a few words when I told the old man, but people go to tea and cool, that's the kind of thing. ”

Huo Yixiao looked at Gao Fang and said, "Officialdom is like this. ”

A truth, Huo Yixiao said it in an old-fashioned manner, Gao Fang couldn't help laughing, but he also nodded in agreement.

"That's true," Gao Fang sighed, "I can see clearly, but it doesn't mean that I can manage it."

Min Hao has been greedy for silver for a year or two, I didn't break him at the beginning, it's not that I don't care about the silver in the treasury, but it's not a good time to take a whole body.

When I leave the officialdom and then come to talk about right and wrong, my old bones will not work.

I can tell you everything related to Taichang Temple, but whether you and the Third Highness can move Min Hao in the end depends on what the emperor thinks. ”

Huo Yixiao thought about it and understood what Gao Fang said, "It's not a good time".

When Min Hao was able to speak in the household department, it was almost the last ten years of the first emperor's dynasty.

For the position of the crown prince, a group of princes fought openly and secretly, and the two princes of the Shen family died of illness one after another, and the struggle for power in the court became more and more turbulent.

At that time, Min Hao was moved, and then a string of crabs was pulled, even if it had to be messed up.

Gao Fang chose to turn a blind eye to this, firstly, Min Hao's appetite was not so great at that time, and secondly, it should also be the meaning of the first emperor.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he needed to rein in the government, stabilize the relations everywhere, and do a good job of stabilizing the transition, so naturally he would not attack Min Hao as soon as he came up.

After that, Gao Fang said goodbye.

Before saying goodbye to the old man, he probably figured out the holy will, knew that the time had not come, and pressed the matter.

As for whether it is the right time now, Huo Yixiao and Zhu Huan have to judge.

After speaking this step, Huo Yixiao knew that these were Gao Fang's heartfelt words.

Gao Fang told the old man for several years, he had cut off contact with officialdom, and he could be sent away by explaining the budget audit for him.

But Gao Fang spoke very carefully, analyzed the silver carefully, and expressed his views on the several officials involved in it one by one.

These are things that Gao Fang could have not said.

Elder Gao poured out his heart and lungs so much, it was for the sake of Mrs. Xia's face.

Because Huo Yixiao will marry Wen Yan, he is willing to be good to Wen Yan, and Gao Fang knows everything and says everything.

I have to say that Wen Yan didn't work in vain this time, and it was very useful to come to Cangzhou under the sun.

Huo Yixiao got up and bowed to Gao Fang respectfully: "I have taken all the words of Elder Gao to heart. ”

Gao Fang did not let in and accepted the full salute.

Mrs. Xia couldn't stand the gift of his grandson and son-in-law, so he accepted it on his behalf, and when they met underground in the future, it was also a talking point.

can make Old Man Xia so angry that he blows his beard.

Glad!

The tea was finished, and the little guy made a new pot.

Gao Fang took advantage of this to signal the little guy and asked him to invite Wen Yan.

Wen Yan has already cleaned up.

Gao Fang's daughter-in-law is considered to be the elder of Wen Yan, and she is a careful and gentle woman.

Knowing that Wen Yan had been on the road since early in the morning, he didn't pull her to say homely, and after she freshened up, he let her rest alone in the house for a while, slowly.

Wen Yan sat on the wide Eight Immortals chair and almost dozed off.

Then she came to invite, and she went back to the study.
