Zhang Anshi said, snapped directly, and slapped the form directly on the coffee table on the side.

The squire Zeng Guang was speechless for a while, and always felt that Zhang Anshi was not very polite.

But whether he was polite or not, he didn't say much, he just stepped forward, took the form, and took a closer look.

At this glance, I only felt dizzy.

Zeng Guang's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, he was a little dumbfounded.

The table is actually very clear, and it can even be said that it is clear at a glance.

Even those who have been unfamiliar with it before can see everything at a glance.

But the number in it made Zeng Guang read it several times.

tax silver, nine million seven hundred fifty-six thousand seven hundred and thirty taels.

grain, three million two hundred and twenty-one thousand stones.

Not to mention the grain endowment, although it can be regarded as a big increase, it is still within the scope of Zeng Guang's understanding.

But this tax is ......

Zeng Guang looked at this number intently, what is the concept of this number?

A few years ago, the annual income of the household department was about 2.5 million taels, which is actually understandable, and the tax of the Ming Dynasty mainly came from taxes in kind.

And now, after a year, the tax silver of the Right Capital Governor's Office is directly four times that of the national tax silver of the household department a few years ago.

Zeng Guangjiu has been in the household department for a long time, where don't you know how powerful it is?

Compared with last year, commercial taxes have skyrocketed, and it can even be said that they are constantly doubling.

Zeng Guang took a deep breath and looked up, but saw Zhang Anshi crossing his legs and looking at him with a smile.

Zeng Guang pondered for a long time before he said, "This ...... This...... There's nothing wrong with the numbers. ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Anshi looked at him with a smile.

Zeng Guang smiled bitterly, by this time, he had nothing to say.

Zhang Anshi said: "This time, I came here specially, not for anything else, but to bear the guilt." The household department has been urging these days, and the money and grain of the Right Governor's Mansion have only now been clearly calculated. Hey, it's a thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths! Now the officials of the Right Governor's Mansion are all anxious, and they are all saying that they have missed a major national event this time. ”

"But how? I count them with them as servants of sin. Zeng Gong, if the household department wants to punish it, we have nothing to say. ”

Zeng Guang listened, his old face turned red, and he waved his hand busily: "This ...... This...... No, you don't have to ......"

Just kidding, a right capital governor's mansion, even now, is worth three worlds of silver tax income, if the right capital governor's mansion is punished, isn't it a big joke?

"What? No punishment? ”

"Of course not, this time...... Although Zeng Guang is still unwilling to ...... this time, he has to admit that he has no ability to hold money, and his ability to hold money is really one set after another.

To this day, he still can't imagine where so much tax money comes from?

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi said with a solemn face: "This can't be done, how can you not admit punishment if you make a mistake?" Even if you don't punish you, I have thought about it, from today on, the officials of the Right Capital Governor's Mansion will all be fined for a month, as a punishment, if you dare to commit such a thing in the future, then those who should be deposed will be deposed, and those who should be deposed will be dismissed. How can the court have no rules? Do you say, Zeng Shilang? ”

"Ah......" Zeng Guang lost his mind for a while, and when he heard this, he was even more shocked.

Zhang Anshi said: "Zeng Shilang doesn't seem to want to speak? ”

"No, no, no." Zeng Guang hurriedly said: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

Zhang Anshi was a little impatient at this time, and said disdainfully: "It's really hard to talk to you, but it's a pity that Xia Gong is not here, if Xia Gong is here, I will probably talk and laugh with him now." I and Xia Gong are friends who have forgotten the year! Forget it, it's not interesting to talk to you about this, goodbye. ”

Zhang Anshi said, if he doesn't stay any longer, he walks away.

Out of the house.

The guards outside were already waiting.

Chen Li quietly came to Zhang Anshi's side.

Zhang Anshi asked in a low voice, "Are you sure it's this Zeng Guang, right?" ”

Chen Li said: "Yes, there is another one, it is all given to Liu Zhennan in the matter." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded and said softly: "Okay, I know." ”

Chen Li looked at Zhang Anshi suspiciously: "The governor plans to ......"

Zhang Anshi snorted and said, "Offended me Zhang Anshi, do you still want to leave?" But don't worry just yet, you can ...... Let Gao Xiang take the lead of these people up and down, and give me a good excuse to ask for sin. ”

"After I finished writing, I all stood in my own yamen and thought about it, how can I not be punished for making such a big mistake? If you don't take this lesson this time, next time I will see that they dare to rebel. “

Chen Li's face twitched, and he wanted to say that Du Du's words were a bit serious.

But after thinking about it, I put away my thoughts.

The governor can say whatever he wants, and he will do as he is told.

Immediately, Zhang Anshi led the people and left.

…………

Zeng Guang was already anxious at this time, and he first checked the accounts in disbelief.

And these accounts are really not much different from the tables.

Then, Zeng Guang hurriedly went to the duty room in the capital.

"Liu Du Shi, Liu Du Shi."

Liu Zhennan was sitting upright in the duty room at this time, holding a pen and practicing calligraphy.

Hearing the voice, he looked up and saw Zeng Guang coming, and said with a smile: "Zeng Shilang......"

After the two of them saw the ceremony, Zeng Guangcai said anxiously: "Look at this ......"

Liu Zhennan took the form, and then his face changed greatly.

He looked at Zeng Guang incredulously and said, "In all dynasties, is there such a thing?" ”

"Where?" Zeng Guangdao: "I've read books for so many years, and I've never seen such a situation in the household department for so many years, 10 million taels of silver......"

Liu Zhennan put down his pen and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that the destiny of heaven is there, isn't it waiting for me?" ”

Zeng Guang looked at him puzzled: "What is Liu Dushi's words?" ”

Liu Zhennan sighed and said, "From this point of view, I am afraid that this An Shi will be even more noisy, it is really unimaginable." ”

Zeng Guang said: "Not only that, Zhang Anshi came in person this time, saying that he was here to take the blame, and also said that he would severely punish the officials and officials and ......."

When Liu Zhennan heard this, his face was even more miserable.

Zeng Guang frowned lightly and said, "I don't think this is right. ”

"What's wrong...... Liu Zhennan's eyebrows have wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and said: "This is to force everyone to death." ”

Zeng Guang's heart jumped, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you see it?" ”

"You have been in the ministry for a long time, and you don't know about the affairs of the Inner Dynasty on weekdays, I am all in the middle of the matter, but I have to contact Wenyuan Pavilion with experience." Liu Zhennan said: "Think about it, with so much silver and paying such a high tax, it is unprecedented, and you still have to be punished, and you have to bear the guilt, so what about the others?" Those others...... Compared with him, the taxes levied every year are like fireflies and the sun and the moon, and what about the political envoys and prefectures? If a person who has great merit still has to ask for sin, then what is the face of other people who have not done an inch...... Don't ask for sin? ”

"What do you mean?"

A hint of fierceness flashed in Liu Zhennan's eyes: "This is an official who wants to make people laugh at the world, and this household ...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult to escape the blame. ”

Zeng Guang took a deep breath and said with a stiff face: "This son is too arrogant. ”

Liu Zhennan smiled bitterly, clicked on the form on the case, and then said: "There is crazy capital." ”

"This matter is still waiting for Xia Gong to come back, and then discuss with him."

"Xia Gong?" Liu Zhennan smiled bitterly again.

Zeng Guangdao: "It's just a talent, Zhang Anshi has a Xia Gong on the left, and Xia Gong on the right......"

Liu Zhennan's face was even more pale, and he finally sighed and said, "Hey...... Wait and see what attitude the palace will have. ”

The two of them were full of worries at this time.

They wanted to sow discord in their hearts, but they didn't know that for Zhang Anshi, he didn't have the heart to pick anything at all.

But now, Zhang Anshi casually said Xia Gong, but directly silenced the two.

People who have ghosts in their hearts will think that others are also like this.

The deeper the mind, the more people will think that others must be as simple as themselves.

Because of this, when Zhang Anshi mentioned Xia Gong, it always made people like Zeng Guang feel a sense of physical discomfort and disgust.

Zeng Guangdao: "It seems that it can only be like this." ”

He was about to leave.

saw that Liu Zhennan's eyes were slightly red, and he hurriedly covered his eyes with long sleeves.

Zeng Guang was surprised and said, "Why is Liu Du like this? ”

Liu Zhennan said sadly: "I mourn how difficult the people's livelihood is, and sigh that some people, for the sake of political achievements, expropriate and expropriate, and forcibly seize it, just for the sake of ...... Hey......"

Zeng Guang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

…………

Xia Yuanji was standing awkwardly in the literary building at this time.

Zhu Difen was obviously displeased.

Yang Rong and the others also stood quietly one by one.

Only then did Zhu Di say slowly: "Xia Qing's family, the money and grain of the Right Capital Governor's Mansion haven't been played yet?" ”

"Not so far." Xia Yuanji said embarrassedly: "The minister has supervised a few times......"

Zhu Di frowned and said: "It's not too early, the expenses for the coming year will have to be taken care of before the year." On the Tobe side...... Step up. ”

Xia Yuanji was very embarrassed and said: "It's just that the money and grain of the Right Governor's Mansion have not arrived, and many revenues and expenditures on the household side are not ......."

Zhu Di glanced at Xia Yuanji coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You are the head of the household, don't you understand the principle of urgency and power?" ”

Xia Yuanji had no choice but to say helplessly: "Yes, the minister is dead." ”

Zhu Di said again: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, the army is governed like this, the country is governed as well, money and grain are the foundation of the country, but this time there is something strange about the right capital governor's mansion." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's gaze turned and fell on the other two, and said, "Yang Qing, Hu Qing, what do you think?" ”

Hu Guangdao: "On the side of the Right Governor's Mansion, some punishment needs to be given. You must know that all states and counties in the world have been submitted. And the Right Capital Governor's Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it has never been sent so far, what is the reason? If there is a follow-up, and the political envoys and state capitals are like this, then how can the imperial court govern? ”

"The minister thinks that no matter what, some punishment must be given, so that he can set an example and make people happy and convinced."

Zhu Di listened and didn't make a sound.

Hu Guang glanced at Yang Rong, meaning to let Yang Rong persuade him as well.

This matter is indeed not small, it can be seen that Yang Rong still looks thoughtful, Hu Guang said again: "When Emperor Taizu Gao, if there was a state capital that dared to be so lazy, Emperor Taizu Gao would kill someone. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, the minister and Zhang Anshi have no grievances, but I just think that it is better to give some punishment, otherwise it will ......."

Yang Rong said calmly at this time: "What Gong Hu said is not unreasonable. But...... The minister was thinking about one thing. ”

Everyone looked at Yang Rong in unison.

But seeing that Yang Rong continued to say for a long time: "The Right Governor's Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is easy to go back and forth, and it is only an hour's journey from the household, and in the first two years, there has been no such thing, but this year, it has been delayed for more than half a month, and so far no money and grain books have been sent." ”

"No matter how you look at it, it's very strange. Instead of shouting and shouting at him at this time, it is better to ask him carefully about what happened. ”

Xia Yuanji smiled bitterly at this time: "I've asked a few times, and I said that it was almost good, it's not that I don't want to ask...... Just ......"

Yang Rong smiled slightly and said, "Although Governor Zhang is sometimes confused, this kind of thing is ...... Your Majesty, the minister has never seen Zhang Dudu neglect serious things, so the minister feels that something is wrong...... In Yichen's view, it is better to find out. ”

Zhu Di listened, and bowed his head: "Yes......"

Zhu Di said, stood up, and said, "I also lost my ......."

"Your Majesty......"

Before he could respond, the Secretary of General Affairs had already come to a eunuch in a hurry, and the eunuch called out outside the hall.

Zhu Di said: "Come in." ”

The eunuch stepped in and saluted: "Your Majesty, someone from the household department said that the money and grain from the Right Capital Governor's Mansion have been delivered." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, looked at the eunuch and said, "Take the accounts and look at them." ”

So an account was quickly delivered to Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di saw it, he gasped directly.

And then it was silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Hu Guang couldn't help but exchange reminders in a low voice when he saw Zhu Di's strange reaction.

Zhu Di came back to his senses at this time, he stared at Hu Guang without saying a word.

Hu Guangdao: "Your Majesty...... This ......"

Zhu Di suddenly yelled: "it, this account ...... Has it been calculated? ”

Hu Guang was taken aback.

But this is an inquiry, apparently addressed to the Chief Executive.

The eunuch of the General Administration Department hurriedly kowtowed: "The household department should have accounted for it, and there should be no mistake." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but say: "It's terrible, it's terrible." ”

Seeing that the ministers were confused.

Zhu Di turned to say: "This year...... The silver tax of the right capital governor's palace was 9,750,000 yuan, and the grain tax was 3,000,000 stones...... This is not only the best in the world, but also the sum of money and food all over the world, and it is not as good as his right governor's mansion! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and couldn't speak.

What is this concept?

This should be the first time since the Ming Dynasty that the administrative unit of the right capital governor's office, which is equivalent to the administrative unit of the political envoy, and the tax on silver alone far exceeds the silver tax of the whole world in the past years several times.

I don't know how to describe this kind of record.

And the imperial court must be greatly affluent, to what extent?

Judging from the situation of half of the previous handover to the national treasury, a right capital governor's mansion directly increased the tattoo silver by 5 million taels.

It is double the silver tax in previous years.

It can be said that Xia Yuanji has been a household secretary for so many years, and he has never been so rich.

"How can there be so many?" Xia Yuan Ji was really taken aback, and for a moment, his eyes widened in shock.

Zhu Di said: "You ask me, I still want to ask you about the household book, you still can't understand the truth, but you come to ask me?" ”

Natsuhara Yoshi: "......"

Zhu Di said: "Having said that, this year is too much, this amount is really unimaginable...... Come...... Come...... Hurry up and summon Zhang Anshi to come to the audience. ”

"Yes."

When the eunuch heard this, he kowtowed, and hurriedly withdrew.

Zhu Di looked at the ministers and said, "This time, you can really sit back and relax." Zhang Anshi...... Ha, this guy, is he a trickster? Jin Qing's family, your trick is far inferior to Zhang Qing. ”

Jin Zhong: "......"

Jin Zhong was silent for a moment, and finally stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not a trickster, the minister did know some small tricks in the past, but this way is a metaphysical ......"

"Alright, alright, I got it." Zhu Di waved his hand, and continued: "I don't mean to look down on it, I'm just making an analogy." ”

Zhu Di said on the one hand, and said on the other hand: "If something is abnormal, it is a demon, I ...... I really didn't expect it...... Zhu Qing...... Don't you all spend your days wailing for a little money? Come, let's talk about it, why can this right capital governor's mansion have today? ”

Actually, everyone can't talk about it.

Zhu Di's gaze was on Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is the result of the new deal. ”

Zhu Di asked again: "Then why did the New Deal have this result?" ”

"This ......" Xia Yuanji opened his mouth for a long time, but he seemed to have nothing to say.

Zhu Di glared at him, and said with a little annoyance: "Study hard, don't bury your head in the sand, otherwise, what's the use of me asking for the household?" ”

More than an hour has passed, but Zhang Anshi has not been seen for a long time.

Just when the monarchs and ministers were impatient, they saw the eunuch come in quickly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have already gone to invite Zhang Dudu, and Zhang Dudu is coming, but ...... Just ......"

The eunuch looked hesitant, and seemed to be very entangled in whether to say it or not.

Zhu Di said impatiently: "Just what? ”

Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be unhappy, the eunuch hurriedly said: "When the slave maid passed on His Majesty's message, Zhang Dudu was punishing the officials above and below, and there were ...... Let the slave maid bring these notes first, Zhang Dudu said...... If he can't do it, he will be ashamed to see His Majesty. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Solo? So much sparkling? ”

Zhu Di looked at this eunuch, and he was indeed holding a stack of notes in his hand, and couldn't help but be curious, so he said, "This guy ...... Do you still know tens of thousands of words? It seems that my ability to make money has grown a lot recently, and I have read a lot of books. ”

Zhu Di rolled up his long sleeves and continued: "Take it and take a look." ”

One by one, piled up like a mountain, it was placed on Zhu Di's desk.

Zhu Di took one of them casually, only took a closer look, and suddenly pulled his face down.

"Please?" Zhu Di suddenly shouted: "What kind of crime are they asking for?" ”

As soon as this statement came out, many people were confused.

However, Yang Rong, who was careful, seemed to have guessed something all at once, his eyes narrowed, and he secretly shook his head in his heart.

Sure enough...... It's time to settle the scores!
