"The money owed by this household has become a tumor, and it is difficult to pay it off, if you don't do a good job, you have to eat melons, and if you do a good job, you will offend half of the officials in the court, it's difficult."

The fourth uncle touched his head and was also a little worried and worried, the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle and Song Zhengtian grew up together, and their relationship was closer than the others.

Zilan raised her hand cautiously, "I have a bit of an immature opinion, do you want to listen to it." ”

"Needless to say, if you're immature."

Song Zhengtian was still angry with her, he didn't want to pay attention to her, he glanced at her, in fact, as soon as he came back, he stared at his daughter and scanned it up and down, and when he saw that his complexion was good, he was relieved, but he was still a little angry.

Zilan pouted and pleaded with her grandfather and uncles pitifully.

The fourth uncle smiled, "Let her say it, this kid is also for the reputation of the Song family, although the practice is not worth advocating, but there is no ambiguity at all in major matters." Let's listen to her opinion, maybe it can open up ideas for us. ”

Zilan grabbed her father's sleeve and shook it, and said in a small voice, "Dad, I was wrong, I will definitely take care of myself in the future."

I'm also angry with the queen, you don't know that the queen is particularly domineering and unreasonable, but I'm going to slap me in the mouth, I'm angry and want to pit her hard, I'm wrong, don't be angry, it's Gonggong Li who saved me, you go back to the palace to help me make up for it. ”

Song Zhengtian glanced at her, sighed, and looked at his daughter with a distressed and angry look in his eyes, "It's really ...... that the dignified queen actually bullied a half-grown child." Talk about your thoughts, say it's not good to hit your board. ”

Zilan saw that her father was no longer angry with herself, and smiled mischievously, "My little opinion is not necessarily right, but uncles listen to it first."

I think the emperor is worried because the household department always has no money, so the problem is much simpler, it can be divided into three steps, the first step is to use thunder means to make the officials nervous, so that they have the mind to repay the money, and the household department should enter the account as quickly as possible. ”

With that, she paused and looked at the uncles and brothers who were present.

"Oh, what you mean is to stabilize the emperor first, and then hit the officials who don't pay their debts and put pressure on them."

The fifth uncle reacted immediately.

"That's right, you can't be a fat man by eating in one go, this thing will not drag on for so long if it is so easy to do. It can only come step by step, but the emperor can't wait too long, I observe the situation in the court, the northwestern Tatar kingdom is ready to move again, as an emperor with achievements, no one is allowed to trample on his majesty.

I guess I waited so long to start paying off the money of the household department, and it was also to prepare for the northwest, in case of a war, the household department would not have any money, wouldn't it kill people. ”

"Oh, how do you know that the Northwest is not peaceful, and on what basis does it come from?"

The fourth uncle glanced at the brothers, and there was appreciation in their eyes, but they didn't mention a word about the court.

"Observe, there are always traces of clues, and the delivery of red wine has been delayed for nearly half a month recently, but I started to ask for the goods a month in advance. The Yang family and us are not the only ones who share the profits in the Northwest Commercial Road, there are several others, and they will not deliberately delay for the sake of silver.

There is also a recent increase in the price of leather goods, many northwest specialties and goods are in short supply, indicating a problem, the northwest trade road is in trouble, this problem can only be related to the Tatar state, the border is tight, trade is naturally different from the past. ”

Zilan confidently explained her reasons.

"Well said, the analysis is in place, the Tatar State does frequently harass the border, the border is starting to tighten again, and your uncle is going to return to the northwest. The court is very short of money, and this is the main purpose. ”

The fourth uncle nodded affirmatively.

"That's easy to do, the first step, thunder means, gentle persuasion calls on everyone to repay the money, if you don't have money, you can repay half of it first, the interest will be halved, and if you pay back one-third, the interest will be reduced by one-third, and the full amount will be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, so as to get a good impression;

The second step is to privately talk to the big debtors, especially the family of military generals, and talk secretly, what situation in the northwest is they more clear than us, so that they can pay back as much as they can, don't regret it, and force the emperor to be anxious.

The third step is to allow officials to repay the money in a secret and private way when repaying the money, after all, everyone is in the same breath, and it is not good to repay the money alone. If you can't pay it back, you are allowed to mortgage valuables,

Let the household department find a good eye to be responsible for the inventory, avoid fraud, put these things in the incense building for auction, and the money will go to the household department no matter how much. Can you sell anything, if you don't have the money to mortgage the house, you will raid the house if you don't pay the money, and you still want money to choose your own.

The last point is also the most critical, and the emperor asked Lan Ling's guards to sit in the household department, and let my father take the guards to the street when he went out, which is a deterrent, and it also represents the emperor's firm determination to rectify the household department.

I forgot to mention that if the household officials also have debts, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they must pay it back as soon as possible, otherwise they will be dismissed directly to the end and will not be tolerated. ”

Zilan nodded vigorously.

"Going to your incense house to auction is your main purpose."

Song Zhengtian squinted at his daughter, I don't know your careful thoughts yet. “

"Dad, the emperor recognized your ability with a lot of money in our auction, and I don't want a penny, just make a name, and the fox is just a fake tiger."

Zilan pulled her father's sleeve and replied sincerely, look at my sincere little eyes.

"Humph!"

Song Zhengtian pouted in disgust, the daughter of a wealth fan.

"Not to mention that her idea is still remarkable, not useless, which gives a chance for relaxation and is easy for officials to accept.

However, at the beginning, some thunderous measures are needed, so that they know that it is absolutely impossible not to pay back the money, so that the next gentle measures can be used. ”

"Yes, that's what I mean, it's the same as bargaining, I'll pay a low price, you can't agree, I'll give a bottom line, you're making a little money, and it's done." It's the same with paying back, you have to pay back even if you die, and they understand what to do.

Then I will give you a chance to think of a way, and if you are forced to be helpless, you will naturally go back and think about smashing the pot and selling iron. ”

"That's right, it's still this girl's mind that turns quickly, and first knocks up the families who owe the most money, and this matter will be easy to do."

The fifth uncle also smiled and nodded.

Everyone worked together to find a way for Song Zhengtian, and after some discussion, Song Zhengtian also had specific plans and ideas on how to act in order to collect the arrears.

Zilan hurriedly took out what she had written, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that everyone is here, I wrote something, and the elders will also show you whether it is suitable or not. ”

"Humph! See what you can get. ”

Song Zhengtian glanced at his daughter, snatched the thing with his hand, and looked at it himself.
