“……”

"And then?"

Hearing this, He Feng and Cai Yan both guessed the follow-up.

"Lord Qin is a ruthless character who doesn't rub sand in his eyes." The corners of He Feng's mouth twitched slightly.

He is from the capital, and naturally knows Qin Shiyi's reputation as the first iron in the world, this person has a stubborn personality since he was a child, has few popularity, and admits death.

Such a person, once it falls into his hands, will definitely be brought to justice.

"Except for Zhang Daodao's dismissal on the spot, several other people were beheaded in public, Lord Qin said that their attitude is also a scourge to the people of Suzhou when they come to Suzhou......

"Got it, you go down......"

After hearing all this, He Feng and Cai Yan glanced at each other, and they both felt a trace of "cowardice" in each other's eyes.

It's not that I'm really afraid, but I'm scared by Qin Shiyi's courage.

This imperial history can be handled, and he can be cut first and then played, he is really chopped......

"Qin Shiyi is not afraid of being impeached if he does this?"

"Just slack off, sin doesn't lead to death, right?" Cai Yan was a little frightened.

He is also an imperial historian, and even Qin Shiyi is half of his idol, but this is a bit too harsh.

"Who let them bump into it?" He Feng smiled.

In today's Ganzhou, but during the Strike Hard Period, everyone was trembling, and that group of people dared to stay in Ganzhou and lie down.

Isn't this death?

……

Jinling.

The household department has been very busy recently, and disaster relief and the Northern Expedition require a lot of money and food, but this time Yan Lanfeng did not cry poor.

Even, an additional 100,000 taels were allocated to Suzhou for the reconstruction of yamen at all levels after the disaster.

When the emperor learned of this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, so he summoned Yan Lanfeng.

In the Imperial Study.

Xiao Pingsi looked at Yan Lanfeng: "I'm alone here, you can be honest, how much money does the household department have this year?" ”

One person?

Wang Feng looked at his feet...... I didn't fly either, am I a human being?

Yan Lanfeng tried his best to hold back and not let himself look very spirited, but the whole person was oily, and he couldn't hide that kind of temperament.

"Back to Your Majesty, the household department doesn't have much money this year......"

Yan Lanfeng twisted and said, he knew that he could not let the emperor feel that the Hubu treasury was very rich.

Once rich, the emperor will be a moth.

"Yan Aiqing, do you want to bully the king?" Xiao Pingsi's eyes narrowed, and his tone was slightly threatening.

Yan Lanfeng said helplessly: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"Then let's be honest, how much money do you have, I promise not to spend it indiscriminately, okay?"

Xiao Pingsi knew that if he didn't give a guarantee, it would be impossible for this old fox to show him the real account.

"Ahem......"

"The household department has been operating properly in the past few months, and there is still ...... balance of silver taels"

Glancing at the emperor, Yan Lanfeng said: "About ten million taels ......"

"Ten million...... What? ”

Xiao Pingsi was shocked, dropped the reading in his hand, and stood up with both hands on the imperial case: "Ten million taels? ”

Yan Lanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's almost, it's not calculated, it's going in and out every day, and there are still 10 million taels left a few days ago." ”

"In the past few days, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been allocated for the Northern Expedition, and this number is naturally much less."

As he spoke, seeing that the emperor was not suspicious, Yan Lanfeng suppressed his emotions without blushing and heartbeat.

Ten million taels?

It's just a ledger for you!

However, hearing this number, Rao is Xiao Pingsi was also pleasantly surprised, he did not doubt it at all, and felt that it was simply impossible to have this number.

Although salt and iron can collect taxes of 20 or 30 million taels every year, the total income of the imperial court is 40 million taels per year...... But that's the gross income.

Do you have to spend it every year?

The salaries of the yamen officials at all levels of the imperial court, the salaries of the soldiers and horses of the army, the royal family and the retired ministers, the people's livelihood and infrastructure construction......

Even the imperial tomb has not been touched for many years.

Because of this, Xiao Pingsi was said to be unfilial by the clan relatives in the royal family, what can he do?

The Imperial Mausoleum, who dares to maintain it often, and sending people to guard it is a huge expense.

"In previous years, at this time, it would be good if the household department could save two million, and if the state capitals at all levels were in trouble, they would have to ask the Emperor Pavilion for help."

"This year, we can finally stiffen our waists."

Xiao Pingsi was a little moved, even if he was the emperor, he was also close to money.

Where does imperial power come from?

To put it bluntly, it is money and food, and there is no money to support it, so no power can stand the test, and the country will be overturned immediately.

"Why is there so much input in the household department this year, and there are still 10 million taels left?" Xiao Pingsi couldn't help but ask.

He was really curious, this kind of project must be strongly supported!

Yan Lanfeng said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is a fireworks factory and a glass factory. ”

"Aren't these two factories just a few months new, but they can make so much profit?"

Xiao Pingsi smiled and asked, "How did you do it?" ”

Yan Lanfeng arched his hand:

"The minister listened to the advice of the young master, divided the factory into several grades, and found merchants at all levels to give them the right to operate, and then collected the operating guarantee fund and the profit commission."

"In order to promote fireworks, the minister used a large number of fireworks as a ...... during the winter festival of the Ministry of Rites."

"Especially in the glass factory, the ministers divide the utensils made of glass into several levels...... Separated from transparency and size, in the face of different demand groups, the price gap from high to low is like a moat. ”

"The most important thing is that these two businesses are the only one, and they are very tight."

Covering up some of the inside information, Yan Lanfeng selectively informed His Majesty of his operation.

He has been an official for many years, of course, he understands that there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

As a household secretary, all businessmen in the world have to look at his face, as long as there are good things in his hands, some businessmen are willing to rush to offer.

Bidding for such a thing, Yan Lanfeng felt that it was too shocking, so it was better not to tell His Majesty that it was good, so as not to let him break his martial arts.

If you want to do business, you have to be treacherous, thinking of the young master's words, Yan Lanfeng agreed very much.

In order to make money for the treasury, Yan Lanfeng has long since stopped Bilian over the years, and his reputation in the DPRK is extremely poor. What is competing with the people for profit, what is the black-box operation, he has long been out of care.

This is also the reason why Fang Jue is relieved to hand over some business to Yan Lanfeng completely.

Such a person has talent and power, and has a bit of a conscience for officials, so he won't pit the people anyway.

"Well done!"

Xiao Pingsi was in a good mood: "Haha, the young master is really my lucky star in Great Xia, and Yan Qing is also my right-hand man!" ”

Yan Lanfeng chuckled, naturally knowing that this was to appease himself: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise, I am very grateful." ”

"Okay, don't pretend ......"

Xiao Ping glanced at this guy, I don't know what virtue you have?

"Since there are more than 10 million taels left, can we practice one or two of those unfinished things?" Xiao Ping Silicon Road.

Here it comes.

He's coming.

Your Majesty, the son of a loser, has awakened again!

Yan Lanfeng gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Your Majesty...... You'll have to save some money, just in case. ”

But I thought to myself, it's good that I didn't tell you the full balance, I knew you had to make it!

"More than 10 million taels, it's enough to keep four or five million, and then there will be a period of time for the New Year, isn't the household still in the run?"

Xiao Pingsi suddenly became a little wealthy, and felt that he could finally stand up and speak.

There are still 10 million taels left in the treasury this month, who else?

Who else in the world can do it?

Emperor Liang in the north, I'm afraid that he is already worried, and he has no money to even crusade against Luo Yang, a traitor, right?

"This ......"

Yan Lanfeng pretended to be embarrassed.

Xiao Pingsi said: "Aiqing, don't worry, I won't spend extravagantly." ”

"Then Your Majesty, what do you want to use the silver for?" Yan Lanfeng was helpless, so he had to ask.

He can naturally ask, the name of the treasury miser is not for nothing, and the emperor has to explain the reason for asking for money.

Otherwise, you may be looking at false accounts again.

"Well, I thought, shouldn't I pay back the money I owe in previous years?"

Xiao Pingsi said sadly: "I am the lord of the world, but I owe money to the merchants, how bad is this?" ”

"Oh, Your Majesty is saying that the household department owes the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce for the grain?"

As the head of the household, Yan Lanfeng naturally knows what accounts the imperial court has not settled.

One of the most eye-catching items is the amount of food owed over the years.

There is a payment from the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce that has been paid in installments; There is also a sum of money, which is to borrow the grain money from the Taishan Qianzhuang of the Emperor Pavilion for disaster relief.
