Dayan Kyoto, Imperial Palace, Yangxin Palace.

At this moment, Tang Tingbai sat on the chair and laughed.

Even my stomach hurt from laughing.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Zhao Zibed, the general of Wuziliang, and others also laughed wildly.

Zhao Ziming, the third of the five good generals, slapped his thigh with a smile.

"Hahaha, I laughed to death, I didn't expect Su Yong's foolish criticism to be directly poured with feces by a down-and-out scholar, haha deserves it, let that kid be arrogant, pure and deserved."

Tang Tingbai and the others also laughed, quite a bit of schadenfreude.

After a long time, everyone stopped.

Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, have the people who went to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion to make trouble been arrested?" ”

Li Yuanfang shook his head with a smile: "The officials of the Criminal Department have already taken leave, and there is a large group of officials left, and the group of dragons has no leader, so they have not arrested those people, and the current Yamen in Dayan Kyoto can be said to have fallen into a state of paralysis." ”

Oh?

Tang Tingbai smiled, still not flustered.

Dayan Kyoto can't be messed up.

Tang Tingbai stood up: "Yuan Fang, you continue to investigate the property situation of the family, and I want the precise figures of the major families." ”

Li Yuanfang nodded immediately: "My subordinates understand." ”

In this way, three days passed in a hurry.

At this moment, Tang Tingbai was sitting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, holding the account book that Li Yuanfang had just sent over.

This is a record of the situation of Swallow Kyoto and the surrounding families of Swallow.

In Prime Minister Su Zhen's house alone, there are as many as 30 million taels of silver in Tibet.

You must know that the Prime Minister's Mansion is not the old mansion of the Su family.

Only Prime Minister Su Zhen and Su Zhen's immediate family can live in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And the people of the Su family live in the old house of the Su family.

Tang Tingbai read the account book in one go, and was a little shocked in his heart.

He knew that these families had been passed down for hundreds of years and should have saved a lot of money.

But he never expected that these families would be so rich.

The Zhou family, where Zhou Guangkun is located, has as much as 100 million taels of silver.

Although this is the accumulation of several generations of the Zhou family, it is definitely a lot.

The main thing is that these families have a habit of making money almost without spending it.

Just save it, or bury it deep underground.

Soon, Tang Tingbai finished reading the account book, and he turned to look at Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, take the brocade guard and follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Li Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand what the emperor was going to do at this time in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, Li Yuanfang knew very well in his heart that with Tang Tingbai's temper, it was estimated that Su Zhen would be unlucky.

Half an hour later.

Tang Tingbai was dressed in a green shirt and had already appeared at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with three thousand brocade guards.

At this moment, the entrance to the Prime Minister's Mansion has long been cleaned.

Prime Minister Su Zhen knelt at the door with the Su family's descendants: "Minister Su Zhen, welcome the emperor, long live my emperor." ”

Tang listened to Bai and smiled, and personally helped Su Zhen up from the cold ground: "Prime Minister is polite, I haven't seen you for a few days, I just miss you, so I came to see you." ”

Saying that, Tang Tingbai was not polite, and directly took Su Zhen's hand and walked into the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It's as if Tang Tingbai is the master here.

This......

Su Zhen frowned, he was a smart man, he knew that it was definitely not good for Tang Tingbai to come to him.

Walking into the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tang Tingbai sat directly on the chair, he didn't ink, he took out the account book directly from his arms and handed it to Su Zhen: "Prime Minister, Jin Yiwei's hard investigation in the past few days has found that the silver in your Prime Minister's Mansion alone is full of 30 million taels, which is a terrifying number." ”

What?

Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Su Zhen was stunned.

He didn't expect Tang Tingbai to be for this matter.

"Hehe, the emperor is really good at laughing, although the minister is from a family and has been the prime minister of Dayan for more than ten years, but to say that the minister is greedy for 30 million taels, is it a bit nonsense?" Su Zhen immediately denied it.

In fact, Su Zhen's heart was full of shock at this moment.

Because now there are nearly 30 million taels of silver hidden under the ground of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Tang Tingbai was still full of smiles, and he was not angry: "Prime Minister, since I am here today, I can't leave empty-handed, right?" I don't want much, three million taels, how about it? ”

Su Zhen pretended to smile helplessly.

If it was an ordinary thing, he could take out three million taels.

But now, Tang Tingbai is ready to use this money to build a school and implement nine-year compulsory education.

This is preparing to dig up the foundation of their family, so Su Zhen can't agree no matter what.

"Your Majesty, you really wronged the old minister, don't say it's three million taels in the old minister's house, even if it's thirty thousand taels, you can't take it out." Su Zhen pretended to smile helplessly.

Is it?

Tang Tingbai didn't speak, and waved his hand directly at Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, since the prime minister's family has no money, let's move things to pay off the debt, move everything you can see, don't even let go of the tables and chairs." ”

"Subordinates obey." Li Yuanfang smiled, and immediately arranged for Jinyiwei to rush into the house and move everything that could be seen in the house to the open space of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Soon, the living room where Tang Tingbai and Su Zhen were was already empty.

Even the tables and chairs were moved.

You know, can the tables and chairs used by the prime minister be ordinary things?

"Prime Minister, I'm not going to investigate corruption this time, I just want the Prime Minister to take the lead in donating money and building a school."

"The prime minister is the head of the civil officials of Dayan, and I hope that the prime minister can set an example!"

Hearing this, Su Zhen immediately shook his head: "Your Majesty, the old minister really wants to help, but he really has no money!" ”

Su Zhen immediately cried poor, asked for money, and didn't give him his life.

Tang Tingbai looked at Su Zhen with a hint of appreciation in his calm eyes.

In fact, in his previous life, Tang Tingbai hated corrupt officials the most.

However, since he came to this world, since he became the Emperor of Dayan, Tang Tingbai has understood a lot of truths.

For example, Su Zhen is very capable and good at employing people, and Dayan has managed very well with his assistance.

But in the same way, during this period, Su Zhen was also greedy a lot, and even opened a lot of back doors for their family, so that the Su family behind him made a lot of money.

Only such people can be used and can be used.

In Tang Tingbai's opinion, Dayan is now a bit like the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

Su Zhen is like Yan Song.

Although he is insatiable and cronyistic, he has enough ability.

In Dayan, an official like Hua Sheng, Tang Tingbai can be reused, but it is impossible for him to become the prime minister of Dayan.

The reason is also very simple, because there are too few officials like Hua Sheng, and they are too upright.

To put it bluntly, it is a tendon to admit death.

Such officials in power will inevitably love the people like children.

But if you manage the entire Dayan, it is obviously a lack of ability.

Tang Tingbai looked at Su Zhen with a smile, it was already winter, and it was extremely cold.

Because Jin Yiwei moved all the things in the room, even the stove was moved, causing the whole room to be very cold.

"Prime Minister, you know that I don't like ink, I will make an exception today, I know that now the Prime Minister's Mansion has 30 million taels of silver, I only need 3 million, and at the same time, the court officials must donate one-tenth of the family property, and the same is true for the family, I hope the Prime Minister can agree."

I......

Su Zhen sighed, how could he agree.

Tang Tingbai smiled again: "Prime Minister, you are the leader of Nanshan, and you are also a member of the Su family, a three-hundred-year-old family, I hope you can distinguish which is more important, I value Su Lie's kid very much, I promise you, within ten years, I will let him be the central general of Dayan, how about it?" ”

What???

Central General???

Hearing this, Su Zhen, who was originally a little embarrassed, immediately lit up: "Your Majesty, is this true?" ”

At this moment, Su Zhen's eyes were full of joy.

If his son Su Lie can become the next central general of Dayan, their Su family will continue to be rich.

Although Tang Tingbai's conditions were agreed, the interests of Nanshan, West Lake and the family would be seriously damaged.

But in Su Zhen's opinion, I am for my son and for the future development of the Su family.

I can only be sorry for these people.

Tang Tingbai nodded seriously: "When you are a person, you have no jokes!" ”

Su Zhen also looked at Tang Tingbai solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have said so, the old minister promised you, early tomorrow morning, the old minister will personally bring three million taels of silver to the Xuanzheng Palace, and at the same time, the old minister will unconditionally support the nine-year compulsory education." ”

Su Zhen is a smart person.

Although supporting nine-year compulsory education means that Dayan will have a lot more scholars, it is more difficult for the children of their families to become officials than now.

However, even so, the Maison still has a big advantage.

After all, the cultivation of the family is definitely better, the family must have more books, and the family has more opportunities.

Even these families can invite a teacher to teach the young children of each family to conduct elite teaching.

If there is anything you don't understand, ask Mr. Teaching directly.

On-site Q&A.

And what about the children of the civilian family?

They could only huddle into a classroom of 100 people and listen to Mr. Teach.

How much these children can learn depends on their own creation.

Besides, it is impossible for this kind of teacher to take care of every child.

"Prime Minister, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow in the Xuanzheng Palace." Tang Tingbai smiled and left the Prime Minister's Mansion directly with his hands behind his back.

As for those furniture and antique calligraphy and paintings, Tang Tingbai didn't take them away.

It was just to scare Su Zhen.

Originally, Tang Tingbai thought that he could scare Su Zhen, but he didn't expect that Su Zhen would rather have only the wall skin left in the house than let go.

Helpless, Tang Tingbai could only promise to let Su Zhen's son serve as Dayan's central general ten years later.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Yuanfang followed Tang Tingbai's side: "Your Majesty, shall we go back to the palace next?" ”

Tang Tingbai shook his head: "Let's go, go to the Central General's Mansion, now that the prime minister has compromised, as long as Zhuge Invincible also agrees, will the officials of Dayan still dare to disagree?" Of course, even if they don't agree with me, they will do it, and the reason why I am doing it now is for the family's money! ”
