If the 100,000 taels of silver allocated by the household department are distributed to the Xuanfu 60,000 or 70,000 taels, the pressure on the Xuanfu will be greatly reduced.

But Zhang Zuo received the task of raising 100,000 taels from Sun Jiao, so he raised the issue of the distribution of salt introduction again, and asked Sun Jiao to think of a way again.

This is far beyond the scope of Sun Jiao's ability.

Sun Jiao's ability is not to raise money and food from the people, he can only be careful and calculated, belonging to the combination of accountants and accountants, he has no private resources, or this kind of resources are very few, it is difficult to form a systematic income, even if the task given by Zhang Zuo does not seem to be big, just a shortage of twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, Sun Jiao is difficult to deal with.

Sun Jiao asked, "Nothing can be done by respecting the Tao?"

"Oh?"

Zhang Zuo looked at Zhu Hao sideways.

Zhu Hao smiled, "Old Sun, why do you mention it?"

Sun Jiaodao: "Jingdao, you and Gonggong Zhang came together, you should always have some ideas, right? Or do you want the household department to do something to find tens of thousands of dollars to fill the gap in the Xuanfu treasury?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "There is nothing you can do."

"But the old man heard that you are talking about open source in front of Your Majesty, if you don't have any idea at all, why do you want to talk in front of Your Majesty?"

Sun Jiao's words were fierce, as if questioning Zhu Hao.

Since you don't have an idea, why are you following Zhang Zuo?

Since you're here, you can't just sit in on it, right?

Zhang Zuo hurriedly explained: "Our family just called Mr. Zhu by the way and came to see it together, and Mr. Zhu doesn't have much idea about it."

"Gonggong Zhang, don't explain it for one of his juniors, Jingdao is just an ordinary Hanlin, if you continue to let it go like this, I'm afraid that he will have wings in the future, and it will be difficult to control!" Sun Jiao tried to persuade Zhang Zuo to have a "bad" attitude towards Zhu Hao in the tone of an elder.

Zhang Zuo didn't know what to do, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, our family is just based on the truth."

Zhu Hao saw a hint on the side.

In fact, Sun Jiao was using Zhang Zuo's attitude to test Zhu Hao's status in the new emperor's camp, and deliberately provoked Zhang Zuo to say two sentences, Zhang Zuo naturally didn't want to belittle Zhu Hao in front of Sun Jiao, so he could only prevaricate and perfunctory, so it was just Sun Jiao's way.

With Sun Jiao's old woman doing a huge cunning, how can you not see Zhang Zuo's respect for Zhu Hao?

If even the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant obeys Zhu Haoyan...... Then Zhu Hao is not just an ordinary staff member by the emperor's side.

"Father-in-law Zhang, you should treat the younger generation ......"

Sun Jiao was endless, wanting to continue the temptation, but Zhu Hao had no choice but to interrupt him: "It's only thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, Your Majesty should be able to figure out a way to fill it."

Sun Jiao and Zhang Zuo looked at Zhu Hao at the same time.

"Oh?"

Sun Jiao squinted at Zhu Hao and asked ill-intentionedly, "Isn't Gonggong Zhang all the people who said it, now that the Xuanfu Treasury is in trouble, Your Majesty has no good way to deal with it, how did you get here......

Of course, Zhu Hao knew that Sun Jiao wanted to take advantage of Zhang Zuo's presence to make more tests to judge what role he played in the new emperor system.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Your Majesty just couldn't raise 100,000 taels at once, and now the household can have a balance, which is very good." The rest...... A little maneuvering is enough! Isn't it, Grandpa Zhang?"

"Ugh...... Right! Right! Huh."

Zhang Zuo's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and at this time he also reacted, Old Man Sun was uneasy and kind!

I have a serious discussion with you on how to make up for the shortfall in the Xuanfu Treasury, but you want to test Mr. Zhu's depth from me, but fortunately, he has keenly discovered your purpose.

Hey, I was almost taken into the ditch by you for a while, I've never seen you so tricky!

Sun Jiao shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Respectfully, you city, let the old man really have nothing to say!" Father-in-law Zhang, you have to mention him more in the future."

"Don't dare...... Uh, it would."

Zhang Zuo blurted out, and reacted in time as soon as he started, and quickly changed his words.

In fact, after asking so much, Sun Jiao was already very satisfied.

From Sun Jiao's point of view, even if the status of the emperor and Zhu Hao is not as good as Zhang Zuo, it is actually about the same, and the two are on an equal footing, so Zhu Hao's status in the new emperor system is much higher than imagined.

In other words, Zhu Hao is not only able to help the new emperor in terms of money and grain in the treasury, but it is likely that there will be many roles that are not known to outsiders.

Of course, now Sun Jiao still can't think of it, in fact, the Manchu Dynasty, especially those important Zhu Pi, are all from his son-in-law, if you know......

Sun Jiao had to vomit blood.

……

……

Sun Jiao sent the two out of the house.

As soon as he came outside, Zhu Hao saw an official sedan chair coming this way in the distance, and someone in front of him was holding a lantern, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Farewell."

Zhu Hao recognized it, it was Liu Chun's sedan chair.

Usually, Liu Chun thinks that the carriage is too bumpy, and he is afraid that his heart disease will be reversed again, so he will change to take a sedan chair to commute to work, and carry the sedan chair four times, which is very conspicuous everywhere he goes.

Zhu Hao suddenly remembered that Liu Chun had said that he had been very close to Sun Jiao recently, and he might have happened to meet Liu Chun to visit Sun Jiao's mansion.

Zhang Zuo saw that there were guests from Sun Jiao's side to prevent Yang Tinghe's people from coming to prevent them from being Yang Tinghe's people, or those who could report to Yang Tinghe, so he hurriedly got into the carriage, shared with Zhu Hao, and left Sun Jiao's mansion.

As soon as the person left, Liu Chun's sedan chair stopped.

"Like-minded...... Who's that?"

Liu Chun got off the sedan chair, pointed to the carriage that had not yet left the street, and asked Sun Jiao.

Sun Jiao replied casually, "Friend."

"Your friend? Huh."

Liu Chun smiled brightly.

Although Sun Jiao is a veteran-level existence in the court, because of the ten years of official career in the middle, the front and back cannot be connected, so that Sun Jiao came back, and the court officials have changed, plus Sun Jiao was born in Anlu Prefecture, and the little emperor was specially transferred to the capital to make a balance, and he was in a neutral position in the new emperor and Yang Tinghe faction, so that there were very few ministers in the court and Sun Jiao.

Even if there is, it is a business affair, and it will not be visited at a private house.

Another reason is that Sun Jiao lived in the capital, and his family had not been here before, he was a little old man who lived alone, and he hated that others came to the door, so he had to bother to entertain him, so he returned all the posts, and no one paid attention to them over time.

The more friends you have, the more people like to make friends with you, and the fewer friends you have, the more people will naturally stay away.

This is the golden mean in Confucianism......

Or herd mentality.

……

……

The two entered the courtyard and came to the main hall.

After the guests and hosts sat down opposite each other, Liu Chun was still interested in the person who had visited Sun Jiao before.

"Zhitong, whatever I do, tell the truth, you can't hide it." Liu Chun doesn't agree with Sun Jiao's style of hiding in his heart when he has something.

I treat you like a buddy, and you don't even say who is coming to visit you?

I didn't ask him what he told you.

But Sun Jiao's difficulty lies in the ...... If I tell you that it is Zhang Zuo and Zhu Hao visiting together, maybe what you will think!

More is better than less, you can't say it at all!

"It's the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, Gonggong Zhang." Sun Jiaodao.

Liu Chun's eyes widened, he took a sharp breath, and asked in surprise, "Is it him?" What did he come to tell you? Speaking of which, he visited Han Yuan today...... This is also the purpose of my coming to you, Jingdao was disrespectful to him at that time, but I was afraid that it would affect Jingdao's future."

"What......

Sun Jiao was stunned, "What? Disrespectful words?"

Sun Jiao thought about it carefully, even if he still didn't know what the relationship between Zhu Hao and Zhang Zuo was, but looking at the appearance of the two, they came to visit together and talked about things together, where was there a little ...... Looks like there's a gap?

Liu Chun's words are very intriguing!

Is Zhu Hao disrespectful to Zhang Zuo, or in public?

Could there be some conspiracy behind this?

Liu Chun looked nervous, and probably told Sun Jiaoyi about the situation at that time, especially when the two choked each other because of An Lu's background, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

In the end, Liu Chun asked solemnly, "Zhitong, don't you think there is a problem?"

Sun Jiao smiled and asked rhetorically, "I said Renzhong, you don't know that Jingdao is from the Xingwang Mansion, right?"

"This ...... I've heard a little."

Liu Chun really didn't know much about this.

"Then you should also know that in fact, Jingdao and Gonggong Zhang have a personal relationship...... When they talk like this, it is so common for them to think about it, how can there be such a thing as a grudge?"

Of course, Sun Jiao is not worried.

No matter how you look at it, Zhu Hao and Zhang Zuo are both people in the same boat, and it seems that they have a bad relationship when they sing a double reed in public, in order to paralyze Yang Ting and the people of the faction.

What kind of coaxing did you Liu Chun follow?

Liu Chun said, "Huh? Do they have a personal relationship?"

This answer surprised Liu Chun.

Is that so?

How honored is it for a new champion to know the eunuch who holds the seal of the master of ceremonies?

The two should not usually have a chance to meet, after all, Zhang Zuo is in charge of the celebrant and can't leave the palace easily, otherwise Zhu Hao wouldn't have to maintain the relationship between the two personally?

Where will you choke Zhang Zuo?

Zhu Hao is so arrogant that he doesn't even pay attention to Zhang Zuo?

Sun Jiao didn't know how to explain to Liu Chun.

Do you really want to tell Liu Chun that in fact, Zhu Hao and Zhang Zuo are acting? Is Zhu Hao an undercover agent hidden in Yang Tinghe's faction?

Can you say that?

It is estimated that after saying that, Liu Chun's impression of Zhu Hao is not so good, and he will never treat Zhu Hao as a nephew again, right?

"That's it...... In short, you don't have to worry about respect, he has his own measure." Sun Jiao said with relief.

Liu Chun smiled bitterly: "Like-minded brother, it seems that you have something to hide...... You are also from Anlu Prefecture, if you want to talk about the relationship between Jingdao and Xingwangfu, who knows about it?"

Sun Jiao thought for a while, considered the sentence for a while, and then said, "Let's put it this way, Jingdao is not as ...... as it seems Weak. He has a lot of things hidden in his stomach, and in terms of ability, it is also worthy of recognition, but I have always disliked his trickery, and I always like to play tricks or something......

Liu Chun didn't know what was going on, but when he heard this, he was even more foggy, and he didn't know what Sun Jiao was talking about, and the expression on his face became more and more confused.

Sun Jiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "When Emperor Xingxian was alive, he praised him for his respect...... Figure out the rest for yourself."

"Emperor Xingxian?"

Liu Chun looked confused, frowned and pondered for a while, and analyzed: "When Emperor Xingxian was alive, Zhu Hao was only twelve or thirteen years old......

"So, you don't have to worry about his relationship with the old people of Xingwangfu. Let's talk about something else."

Sun Jiao said helplessly.
