The person who said this was Li Wei, a scholar of Taichang Temple and a scholar of Zhongji Temple, who was one of Xia Qing's more trusted henchmen, so he was also called by Xia Qing to discuss this matter.

There were two people who came with him, one was You Shaofeng, the secretary of the general administration, and the other was Tobe Langzhong Jihiko, among which Li Wei and You Shaofeng were the most favored by Xia Qing.

Ji Yan was also one of Xia Qing's henchmen, but he didn't expect that such an important matter could also involve him this time, and he couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart.

can be valued by Xia Shoufu, and it seems that he is not far from his success.

Xia Qing attached so much importance to the matter of border salaries, and called Ji Yan because he was Langzhong of the household department. This matter still needs the household department to dig out the silver, so he was called over to discuss.

"My lord! The time given to you by the emperor is too short, and it is urgent to solve the problem of side salary, so we have to quickly think of countermeasures, get through this difficulty first, and then seek other things. ”

You Shaofeng also put forward his own ideas, and then weighed two sentences after Li Wei.

He glanced at Levi, a little resentful in his heart. He and Li Wei are both among Shoufu's most trusted officials, and if there is something unclear, they will let them negotiate together.

He thinks he is closer to Shousuke than other officials in the Shousuke faction, and he has always had a sense of superiority in his heart.

But since this Levi was taken under the wing of Shousuke two years ago, he has often parted ways with him.

But Shoufu attaches great importance to this person, and some major events will let him join the discussion.

This person's scheming is very deep, he is a smiling tiger, he is used to hiding a knife in his smile, and he will give him eye medicine in front of Lord Shoufu at every turn.

He suffered two losses at the hands of this person, and now he does not dare to underestimate this person.

Xia Qing listened to You Shaofeng's words, and couldn't help but look even more gloomy. Doesn't he know that the important thing now is to settle the marginal salary?

Let them come over, just to let them discuss and come up with a way for him, who is impatient to listen to their nonsense?

"Of course, this official knows what to do now, do you want you to tell me? I called you here to ask you to give advice, and it has been more than half a day, but there is no solution yet. ”

Xia Qing was angry and anxious, suddenly got up from the chair and paced back and forth in the room.

"As soon as the morning dawns, we will have to go to court early, no matter what, we must come up with a countermeasure tonight."

Everyone saw that Shousuke's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and they also reprimanded them, and they didn't dare to say more.

Xia Qing saw that they looked like quails, and his heart was even more angry, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and snorted coldly, they were all useless waste.

"Ji Yan, as the head of the household, this was originally an errand of your household department, and now the official is carrying it for you, you have to think of a way to let the household department take out the silver to pay back the side salary."

Xia Qing saw that no one spoke, so he simply began to name names. If you want benefits on weekdays, you all lean on it.

Now that he has a problem, these people are shrinking back one by one, how can this make him not angry?

When Ji Yan heard this, his whole body trembled, he was the least valued in the Xia Qing faction, and the benefits were not as much as those people, but when something happened, he was in front.

He originally thought that the capital was going to reuse him, and he came to the Xia Mansion with joy.

But at this time, he finally reacted, and it wasn't because he was an official of the household department?

He hurriedly stood up from the chair, his face full of bitterness, and replied respectfully: "My lord, Xia Guan is just a household Langzhong, but he can't manage the treasury of the household department!" Lord Shangshu disagreed, and the lower officials were also powerless! ”

Tobe Langzhong is only the fifth grade, and he doesn't have the ability to let Lord Shangshu allocate silver to the frontier.

You Shaofeng and Li Wei are also related, they can't care about sympathizing with Ji Yan, their thoughts are flipping rapidly, thinking that when they reach themselves later, they can come up with good countermeasures.

At this time, He Zhongkuan, a staff member on the side, opened his mouth, "My lord! After thinking about it carefully, the emperor handed over this matter to the adults, and there were really some other thoughts in it. ”

When Xia Qing heard this, he hurriedly said eagerly: "Mr. He, quickly tell me what you think." ”

When Ji Yan heard this, he couldn't help but look at He Zhongkuan gratefully, and at the same time he was relieved.

If he continued, the adults would definitely be furious, and He Zhongkuan could be regarded as saving him from fire and water.

"Your Excellency, you think! The emperor didn't mention letting the household send silver, but only said that you should find a way. And you can't increase the taxes, and you can't move those merchants, doesn't that make you pay out of your own pocket? ”

Xia Qing's heart suddenly cooled when he heard this, could it be that the emperor had taken a fancy to his family wealth?

But then I thought about it, and I felt that it was impossible. Although he also received a lot of benefits from those officials on weekdays, how could his money be compared with the silver of the marginal salary?

That's a difference of 108,000 miles! His house is only a few hundred thousand taels at most, how can it be compared with the millions of taels of side salary owed?

Zhang Xiansheng, a staff member on the side, was a little unconvinced, how much silver can an official be greedy no matter how greedy? This is the center of Gyeonggi, but it's not like that.

The emperor is far away from the sky, and the emperor may not know if you are greedy.

But in the capital, those imperial histories are staring at you all day long, and if you dare to accept bribes and mess up the discipline, they will dare to join you.

Besides, it's not that no one has ever participated in him, it's just that the emperor cares about the old feelings, or is afraid of adults, so he didn't investigate the matter thoroughly.

In this way, the adults still restrained themselves a little after that, and they didn't dare to be too blatant.

The money in a family's house must not be able to fill the hole in the margin, and this person is too alarmist to say this.

Adults respect He Zhongkuan very much on weekdays, and He Zhongkuan has indeed solved a lot of things for adults.

This person is quite scheming and very good at being a man, so adults always give him three points of courtesy.

Even he is very jealous of this person, but he is inevitably unconvinced, he is the same staff, and his status and treatment are different, which inevitably makes people feel angry.

"My lord, I think this matter is unlikely, the little money in your house is far from enough......

Although Xia Qing also felt that it was unlikely, his staff member He Zhongkuan was by no means a targetless person. He interrupted Zhang Xiansheng's words and motioned for He Zhongkuan to continue.

But he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, maybe the emperor really had ulterior motives. But the purpose is not in him, but in his people.

And in the past few years, the clan has given him a lot of benefits, maybe the emperor has long been staring at the ill-gotten gains of his clan.

Some officials have participated in his book at the court meeting before, saying that he connived at the clansmen to make a lot of money in the local area. At that time, the emperor was vague, and then there was a twist and turn to join him, and the emperor also stayed in the middle of the book.

He also thought that the emperor cared about the old feelings, and he was a saint before, so he was secretly proud in his heart.

It turns out that the emperor is waiting for him here! He only felt creepy, the emperor's mind was really hidden!
