The Empress is not crazy yet, but she is a little crazy.

If you want to drill Xiao Chen's quilt in broad daylight, it is self-evident what you want to do.

It's like a little she-bear who has just tasted the sweetness of honey, and would rather be stung by a bee than get her beloved honey.

Of course, Angelina is not a little female bear, but a hot young girl with blood superpowers......

Do you say Xiao Chen can stand it? If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, because this is all self-inflicted, so it can only be said that he is tired and happy.

Even Chen Wenqi felt quite strange when he saw Xiao Chen again, Lord Xiao hadn't seen him for a few days, he was really refreshed, what was the joy?

What's the matter with a concubine?

"I'm not Gong Shouli's shameless person, I'm a serious eunuch!" Xiao Chen and Chen Wenqi can joke, which shows that the mood is quite beautiful.

"Hehe, it's nothing, Lord Xiao, if you are lonely alone in Fengyang, it is better to marry a few concubines and wait for the pillow." Chen Wenqi said in his heart, why are you kid pretending to be innocent with me? Are you serious? Can a serious eunuch go to Yihong Courtyard!

In fact, Chen Wenqi didn't know that the emperor had also been to Yihong Courtyard......

The last time the two met, they had a big quarrel, and Xiao Chen almost smashed the household, and they broke up unhappily.

But they met this time with a smile on their faces, polite, polite, and affectionate, one with the best tea, and the other with sincere thanks, as if nothing had happened before.

So you know how terrible it is for officials to do their job.

However, the main reason for Chen Wenqi's change of attitude towards Xiao Chen was silver, knowing that after this guy was influenced by the emperor, he couldn't bear to pluck his hair and was willing to support the huge amount of 5.5 million taels of silver in the imperial court...... Finally see your money back!

But don't be distressed too early, where is this?

It's just the beginning, and then you have to pluck all the hair off your body one by one until you become a bald chicken, and then stew and eat your meat.

"Lord Xiao, your Xiao Ji ticket number is very good, and now there are people in Fengyang City who use it...... How many have you issued? What is the approximate geometry of silver deposits? Chen Wenqi seemed to ask casually.

"In fact, there are not much, the original intention of the establishment of the ticket number is to make it convenient for the traders to do business, and the province carries silver back and forth from south to north, not to mention that it is very unsafe, and then the people also feel that this is convenient, so I issued some small amounts, and there is no treasury silver, only banknotes." Xiao Chen said.

"Lord Xiao, this is not a trivial matter, in case your Xiao Ji ticket number collapses, the ordinary people holding these banknotes will be unlucky!" Chen Wenqi said with a frown.

"First, Xiao Ji Ticket Number has the support of several major factories in Yanyun, and it will definitely not collapse, second, although Xiao Ji Ticket Number does not have stub silver, but there is a mortgage of goods recorded in the banknote, and third, the total circulation of Xiao Ji Ticket Number is only two million taels of silver, but it is not as much as the outside legend." Xiao Chen explained.

"Two million taels? More than that, right? Chen Wenqi didn't believe it at all.

"If Lord Chen doesn't believe it, just send someone to investigate." Xiao Chen said.

"That's not necessary, besides, the finances of your Yanyun County are not under the control of our household department, hehehe......" Chen Wenqi laughed dryly.

"Xiao Ji's ticket number is a private banknote, but it is not Yanyun's official banknote, to put it bluntly, it is just my private property, just like the big ticket numbers in Fengyang City." Xiao Chen also laughed twice, and said in his heart, you want to take care of it, can you manage it?

"Tut-tut, then Lord Xiao, you have made a fortune." Chen Wenqi said.

"I won't hide it from you, Lord Chen, I haven't made a big fortune, but a little bit of a small fortune, I dare not say more, there are always 1.8 million taels, why are you still worried about my private property, Lord Chen?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver!" Chen Wenqi sighed, "You, Lord Xiao, are the governor, and it is not uncommon for you to get a million taels of silver in the past three years, but you are all fat, but the silver treasury of my household department has been thin." ”

"Lord Chen, do you know my situation, I haven't lived for a few years, I want to have such a fart? Besides, I have no heirs, who do you say I will leave after I die? It's not all confiscated to your household's treasury! I also know that the emperor is in a hurry to use the silver, but he doesn't dare to take it out now...... Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to live for a few years. ”

Xiao Chen was also telling the truth.

If he gave his silver, of course, he would get the emperor's approval, but he would immediately become the target of public criticism!

You Xiao Chen has only been the governor for three years, and you have one million taels of silver, so how many governors should there be in other counties of the Great Zhou?

You Xiao Chen generously gave all the silver, so did the other members give the silver?

Therefore, if Xiao Chen dares to do such a stupid thing that defies the world's condemnation, it is tantamount to looking for death.

"That's not what I meant." Of course, Chen Wenqi knew the stakes, "It's just that the words have come to this point, and you, Lord Xiao, are still willing to tell me the truth...... Maybe you won't believe it, I have been an official for many years, and there is nothing else except the salary of the imperial court, and some charcoal and ice worship that I had to collect after entering Beijing. ”

"Lord Chen is a Qing official, I think you should go to the Ministry of Officials and rectify our Great Zhou Bureaucracy." Xiao Chen said, "These words are not to ridicule adults, but to speak from the bottom of their hearts. ”

"Alas...... The current rulers, who can't rectify it well," Chen Wenqi let out a long sigh.

Chen Wenqi was depressed, Xiao Chen was silent, and the two were relatively speechless.

In fact, the two of them admired each other quite a bit, Xiao Chen knew that Chen Wenqi was indeed a clean official, and he was quite capable, when he took over the household department, it was a mess, but it only took a few years to clean up in an orderly manner.

From the deficit over the years to the current slight surplus, it really took him a lot of effort, and people who are less than fifty years old have already lost more than half of their hair.

Chen Wenqi also thinks that Xiao Chen is a rare all-round talent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a pillar of talent! I thought he was just a little literary, but later I learned that he was quite powerful in leading troops to fight.

Not only is it both civil and military, but it also knows how to govern the place, and in just three years, the barren and bitter Yanyun County has been governed into Jiangnan County!

This kind of ability is only afraid that no one can match the entire Great Zhou! And he is extremely good at foreign affairs, and can quickly solve all kinds of difficult problems.

If he can contribute wholeheartedly to the Great Zhou, he will inevitably become the emperor's right-hand man.

It's a pity that he is too unruly and unruly, and even the emperor is difficult to control, so he ......

After leaving the household department, he went to the military department, and was warmly welcomed by Lu Jing, the master of Shangshu.

Xiao Chen said that I have been back for a few days, and I haven't seen you, Lord Lu and I have been polite to me, and now that I have sent you something, you will immediately become so enthusiastic, it can be seen that the people are warm and cold, and the world is cold, which really makes my little brother cold!
