Chapter 16: How Poor!

It's not a big good thing for the prince to be by his side, especially a little sesame official like himself, who was personally sent over by the crown prince Zhu Gaochi on the first day of his appointment.

Although the capital is large, if you talk about the speed of the spread of rumors.

Wang Siqi's limited memory is full of the moment when his wife was able to know how quickly he was in trouble, and sent Wu Dra's home to ask the family to whip him, and then the housekeeper dragged him home.

Hiss.. It's fast! But the limelight is estimated to have gone out.

......

"That is to say. In addition to the needs of Yulu and coinage, the Baoyuan Bureau does not have an extra penny? ”

Listening to Feng Zongwu's report, Wang Siqi almost couldn't help but pluck out his ears, wondering if he had heard it wrong, not that Feng Zongwu had said it wrong.

Looking at the new overseer, Feng Zongwu could only smile bitterly.

Nodding again and again, he said, "My lord! It is true that the Baoyuan Bureau is directly under the Ministry of Industry, but now the silver of the Ministry of Industry is very short, if the price of copper fluctuates... Even the Baoyuan Bureau can't open the pot. ”

"What else? Nothing left? ”

"Shhhhh

Feng Zongwu glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "My lord doesn't know, the previous ones have gone with the previous overseer, if..."

"Gotta get it! Don't talk about that, move on with the rest of what you know! ”

After listening to this, Wang Siqi's face was full of bitterness, he completely understood what was going on with the Baoyuan Bureau that he had taken over at the moment.

Every year, the amount of money given by the household is counted.

The Baoyuan Bureau could have used its hands and feet on the coinage by reversing its hands, and if it did so, it only needed to buy off a small number of people, and it could unknowingly make money into its own pocket internally.

But this is based on a premise...

Zhu Gaochi, don't come!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was about to point a magnifying glass at Wang Siqi right now.

After all, corruption is not a glorious thing.

So if you want to make a name for yourself in the Baoyuan Bureau, I'm afraid there is only one way to do it right now....

....

Qingyuan Bofu.

Since he returned home alone from the palace, Wang You's face has not been very good-looking, and everyone in the house knows that this time the Wang family is probably in trouble.

"Oops! Don't cry, my lady... Whether our son can come back this time, I can't even speak as a father, it doesn't work! ”

"I don't care!"

"You took my son away, and you asked him to go to the emperor to ask for his guilt, now it's okay! I'm sorry, but I'm please, why don't I really let me go home.."

When will his son be taken by the prince.

This made Wang You also extremely headache, and explained again and again: "It's not that I won't be allowed to go home, it's that the prince will stay in the East Palace, and you can tell me how I can go and tell the emperor about this little thing." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" The woman's crying voice seemed to have waned.

But it didn't take long for her to look at Wang You with wide eyes, with a little excitement on her face, as if she was expecting something, so she continued to speak: "Doesn't that mean that our son will be in the prince's custody in the future!" This is a good thing, from the dragon's work.. As long as in the future.."

"Can you say that? You're a woman, it's really unreasonable..."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Oops! Uncle Wang! You're ready to take a concubine, am I going to move out of your uncle's mansion, right... After all, it is the first merit of the Great War, and even the emperor will not say anything if he knows about it."

Just when the two of them couldn't figure it out, outside the door of the mansion, Wang Siqi glanced at the mansion with a cautious face, and then bypassed the family at the door and wanted to sneak into the house through the small door at the back of the mansion.

"Young Master.."

"Shh

Unexpectedly, as soon as he slipped in, he bumped into his dog-legged Wu De.

Covering his mouth, Wang Siqi glanced at him and motioned for him not to be quiet, and then lowered his voice, "Is that old thing at home?"

Wu De was covered in the mouth.

Only nodding his head.

"Does that old thing know that I came out of the East Palace?"

Wu De shook his head.

"That's good.. Did you carry the silver ticket you used to sell things with? ”

"Hmm.."

Counting the private money and things sold by Wang Siqi before, a total of about 70,000 taels of silver.

Well.. The things were sold for sixty-five thousand, and when Wang You returned, he brought a thousand taels of silver with souvenirs.

"Say! Why is Young Master Ben so poor! ”

Wang Siqi couldn't understand that he was also the eldest young master of the Qingyuan family, how could he be calculated by Wu De for a long time, and he only had one or two thousand taels of silver.

According to Wang You's temperament.

On an expedition, let alone that he could make thousands of taels before and after.

Why can't you save any money at all?

It must have been Wu De who stole the flowers!

Wu De was almost crying at this time, his young master's feelings were that he had no concept of his daily expenses, Wang Siqi let go of his hand, Wu De hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Young master.. Baihua Building.. Zanghua Pavilion.."

"Ahem.."

"Young Master Ben will definitely not treat you badly!"

"Let's go! Come out with me. ”

Wu De was a little puzzled, why did his young master return home like a thief.

"Young Master? Where are we going? ”

Wang Siqi said lightly, "Go to the banquet!" ”

.....

Since ancient times, having a meal has been a very rigorous science.

At this time, Feng Zongwu and Wang Yihuan were also extremely tormented in their hearts, especially Wang Yihuan looked at Feng Zongwu on the side with a melancholy expression and said: "Lord Feng, it was obviously you who agreed this morning, saying that you would hold a banquet in the Tibetan Flower Building tonight, why did I pay for it in the end!" ”

Who knew that Feng Zongwu just raised his eyebrows, and then said indifferently: "You have to pay this money!" ”

Wang Yihuan swore that after he came to the capital, this was the first day he saw Feng Zongwu and still had such a side.

Hurriedly said: "Why? ”

"Why? Just because your father is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, Jurong County Order, he controls the future and destiny of the people of a county, and benefits the people for the sake of the officials! ”

"You are his son, not to mention benefiting all people, at least you can't let me suffer, right?"

Feng Zongwu's words made Wang Yihuan's mind cloudy.

I didn't react for a while.

I had to nod in a daze, but I thought about the silver that my father had just sent to me, 1,500 taels even if it was in Baihualou, as long as I didn't go to the Oiran.

It is categorically impossible to spend so much money.

So Wang Yihuan, who was greatly relieved, and the two who were constantly thinking about it, finally waited for Wang Siqi's arrival.

"Oops! It's late, it's late, this official is really delayed today! ”

"In this case, I will punish myself with three glasses first!"

One hundred taels and one cup of the best elixir wine fairy dew is the signboard of the Hidden Flower Pavilion! If it weren't for the fact that so many things happened today, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally sent Wang Siqi to take office.

This kind of wine will never be served.

But a whole cup of wine was sent into the stomach by Wang Siqi like a cow drink, and after finishing speaking, he said to Wu De on the side: "Send someone out, ask for a few more cups." ”

"Who can drink this?"

"Okay, young master.."

Bacchus dew.. This is a good thing, Wang Siqi was reluctant to drink it when he came, and he must have a good time today!

Wang Yihuan's eyes were dull and a little dazed.

Suddenly I feel that my purse is about to be empty, this posture! Got it back!!
