Chapter 908: This is the Opportunity

Compared to the wealth squandered by the crown prince, building the track is really nothing, even if it costs a little, but it is a serious matter. And it is obvious that after the construction of the track, the manpower and material resources consumed by the imperial court to transport materials have been greatly reduced, and this project, after a period of financial constraints, has long-term benefits.

In order to build the track, the emperor's daily ceremonies and banquets in the palace were also simplified. Even in the past two years, officials have been punished more often than in the past. The usual reprimands and demotions have now been changed to punishments.

It always costs silver to build the track, so the prince's use has to be reduced, but the prince refuses. Therefore, the situation of excessive taxation in various places has become a fact. Especially in Yuanzhou and other places, commerce and trade have always been prosperous, and the taxes in the past two years have been even harsher.

Now, with such rumors coming out, it's no wonder that the emperor is annoyed.

Yu Shiqing can almost imagine his end, Wang Xian just resigned and returned to his hometown, he has been in charge of the household department for so many years, so much money is missing, even if he takes his eight lives, he can't afford it.

Yu Shiqing knelt on the ground, and in the depths of his heart, he repeatedly pondered whether there was anything wrong in the affairs of the household department. He can only hope that the officials at all levels of the household department are secretive, and the deeds they have done over the years and the amount of money hidden will not be discovered.

Yu Shiqing is still self-aware, and he still knows what self-danger is.

The prince, who was also in the Qinzheng Palace, stood aside with a breezy breeze, but his heart was full of disapproval.

The construction of the track of Naraushzi was originally costly. If it is not built, will not all the silver be in the treasury?

From ancient times to the present, there is no track anywhere on the vast land, and people do not live well. Since it must be done, then the people can't complain about it.

Han Yanhui and the other three people in the cabinet were also kneeling on the ground, and seeing that the emperor's anger was unabated, he kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is angry, most of the small people are ignorant, and they have listened to some gossip, and it coincides with the great drought, so they use false rumors to vent their personal anger." The construction of fortifications by the imperial court is not to build a place for pleasure, but a long-term strategy for the sake of the family, the country and the people's livelihood. The two tracks of the year before last and last year, after being used, have saved a lot of people and consumption during transportation. After a long time, the people naturally know the benefits, and Your Majesty should not be angry with the dragon body because of this. ”

The emperor glanced at the crown prince, who had nothing to do with him, and then thought about the prince's many actions, and looked away a little discouraged. Such a crown prince, let alone working hard to revitalize the Great Xia Dynasty, I'm afraid that he can't even keep his family business, right?

The emperor turned his gaze to Yu Shiqing again, and said coldly: "I have already seen the money and grain you raised. In recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth in various places, and commerce and trade have flourished, and the rail carriages in the capital alone have increased a large part of the tax revenue. Even if the track is built, it is only a matter of two years. The household department has accumulated for so many years, and now the court needs money and food, so you took such a little thing out, how did you become a scholar? ”

Yu Shiqing was sweating again, but the emperor's words were really difficult to answer.

"Your Majesty, Wechen has really done his best. After Weichen went down, he asked people to check the materials in various places again, and strive to make up more. ”

The crown prince is still breezy and calm, but it is just a drought in several states and counties, and it has not been without it before.

He has also been familiar with history books since he was a child, even if there is a major drought in the country, there are also serious places. But so what? In the coming year, when the disaster eases, how should the people live? Do the dead seek death for the living?

The emperor didn't look at the prince at all, and instructed Han Yanhui and others: "Order the cabinet department to immediately send a special person to settle in the household department and assist the household department in checking the materials in various places and warehouses." By the way, check the tax situation in the past few years, how can it be a good year, all walks of life are prosperous, and the treasury will have less income? ”

Han Yanhui, Liu Chengzhi and others agreed together, and the three household officials led by Yu Shiqing sweated, the emperor did not intend to save face for the prince and forcibly interfered in the affairs of the household department.

The prince disdains it, he doesn't believe it, they have done everything well, can outsiders really find out what is wrong when they go in?

The emperor turned to Jinrong again: "King Yu, you also take away your heart to do your own business and use it more for court affairs." The emperor paused and asked, "Can you get 300,000 taels of silver?" ”

Jinrong hurriedly took a step forward, bowed down and replied, "Erchen, let's go and raise it." "Damn, the day of the knife has finally come. Giving out the money is a big deal, but this kind of thing of roasting him on the fire is a big thing among the big things. Isn't this naked/naked/naked to attract hatred?

Sure enough, the prince was already looking at him. But there was not much jealousy in those eyes, but envy and greed.

That look in his eyes was clearly saying: How could the sixth child be so rich? He is a prince, and every time he uses some silver, he has to dig out his hand everywhere. But the sixth child, 200,000 taels of silver, this kid actually said, he will go to raise it.

That's what you have.

The other people in the hall also looked at Jinrong openly and secretly, compared with the prince who was also in the palace, King Yu seemed to have a more sacred heart and was more valued. It's much better than the previous Fu King, right?

"The drought in Yuanzhou cannot be ignored, Han Aiqing, according to whether the money and food of the household department are enough, if it is not enough, first fill it with the silver of Yuwangfu. The imperial court issued an IOU to King Yu, and the palace of Yu sent someone to track the use of the silver. ”

And let the people of Yuwangfu supervise the disaster relief? This unprecedented arrangement made the faces of everyone in the palace change again.

The emperor glanced at the crown prince and Yu Shiqing, and waved his hand, "Let's go down and make arrangements." ”

…………

It seems that the 300,000 taels of silver are urgent.

Although Jinrong complained, she also knew the severity. When he returned to Yuwang's Mansion, he immediately summoned Hu Jing and other staff, as well as officials such as Changshi and the chief bookkeeper, to discuss the raising of silver and the arrangement of personnel to track the use of disaster relief money.

The long history of the Yu Palace, the main book and others have always been a pose, the past Yu Wang was far away from the court, these people were just in charge of the daily chores of the palace, and they were not even as useful as Wan Yan.

At this time, when I heard that the emperor had arranged it so and attached so much importance to Yuwangfu, I didn't feel that I was in good spirits.

The silver is basically ready-made, and the little officials under Jinrong who manage the money and grain in the account also take advantage of it, and it doesn't take long to discuss it properly, arrange a few people in Changshi, and go to Wanyan to discuss the arrangement.

Hu Jing left a few henchmen behind to discuss what to do next.

After everyone left, Hu Jing immediately said, "This is the opportunity we are waiting for." Since the emperor is determined to verify the tax payment of the household department, we can also do it. ”

Jinrong nodded, "Yuanfan has worked hard in the household department in the past two years, even if there is already a gap, it is difficult to open the situation with the strength of one person." Now the imperial court has sent a special person to inspect the household department, and Yuanfan can just help from the side. If you find a way to send the account books to these people, what the prince and Yu Shiqing have done over the years will be undeniable. ”

Hu Jing's face turned solemn, "Now, it's time to discuss how to get the two hidden account books of the household department." "I want to talk about "Women's Expensive" with more like-minded people; , talk about life, find a confidant~
