As soon as Shi Shiran stood still, Zhu Gaoxu on the side couldn't help but tease, and said with a sneering face: "Lord Wang is so determined, he can sleep so soundly in the early dynasty, it seems that he must have been heartbroken for the national economy and people's livelihood recently, and he has no time to sleep." ”

Zhu Di's expression was also a little unkind.

"Tell me, what did I just tell you to do?"

What did Zhu Di tell himself to do? Where does Wang Siqi know.. had to respond hesitantly: "The emperor greets the ministers, naturally he needs the ministers, and the ministers should do their duty as courtiers!" is to ask the emperor to make it clear, what do you need the ministers to do? ”

Hearing Wang Siqi's words as if he had said everything, and as if he hadn't said anything, even Zhu Di couldn't help but be amused by it.

"Good! What I just said is that all the silver taels that your boy has earned recently will be filled into the treasury to fill the void in the treasury, since you are a courtier... That's it! ”

？？？

Even if you are hungry for my body, but even if you are the emperor, you can't covet my silver!

Wang Siqi immediately came to his senses, "Your Majesty! If the emperor wants the silver of the Baoyuan Bureau, the minister will naturally not have the slightest complaint, the Baoyuan Bureau is the yamen of the imperial court, when the imperial court needs it, when to take it! ”

"Oh? You're generous.."

"Then tell me. . . How much silver does the Baoyuan Bureau have now? ”

Wang Siqi took office to the Baoyuan Bureau since he left, first of all, he specially opened the audit mode, and when the Baoyuan Bureau began to have a steady stream of income, this regular audit mode has not been discounted in the slightest.

So Wang Siqi is quite clear about how much money he has in his pocket and how much money he has in the Baoyuan Bureau.

"Back to the emperor's words! Now the account room of the Baoyuan Bureau should have two folds of silver, about seven thousand three hundred taels! ”

"What!?"

Seven thousand three hundred taels?

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard, and hurriedly looked at Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty! The Baoyuan Bureau is by no means only seven thousand three hundred taels of silver, if this number is true, then it must be this Wang Siqi who is full of money in the Baoyuan Bureau! Please also ask the emperor to order an investigation! ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly.

Then his eyes turned to Wang Siqi again and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han also said just now that since you Wang Siqi took office, in just a few months, you have earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by doing business, but now you say that this treasure source bureau is only a few thousand taels of silver?" ”

"Tell me, what about the rest of the silver? Where have they gone? ”

Count me?

Wang Siqi reacted immediately.

"Your Majesty, the silver earned by the ministers is naturally earned by the ministers! The Baoyuan Bureau deserves it, and the minister has not shortened the Baoyuan Bureau for a tael of silver, which is this.. All entries are traceable! Even if it's a copper coin, it's still an account! ”

Zhu Gaoxu frowned, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of Wang Siqi's words.

But he still said bluntly: "The silver you earned when you went to the Baoyuan Bureau, isn't that the silver you earned for the imperial court, since it is the silver earned for the imperial court, how can you still divide it between you and the Baoyuan Bureau?" Shouldn't it all be the imperial court? ... Even if you have merit, you will naturally ask the emperor for merit and reward you! ”

"But these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can't be bad at all! It should all belong to the imperial court! ”

Rao is a human being in two lives, and he has seen strong winds and waves.

Wang Siqi was also shocked by Zhu Gaoxu's rogue speech, isn't this a naked forcible seizure?

The people of the old Zhu family.. Everybody has this talent.

But Wang Siqi shook his head and explained: "The minister dares to ask His Royal Highness the King of Han, does this business require capital?" ”

Although puzzled, Zhu Gaoxu still responded coldly.

"It's nature."

"When private firms do business, is it who pays the money, and who has the final say? Have you ever heard that the shopkeeper who gives money to do business will end up giving a lot of the money he earns to his fellows? ”

"This... I really haven't heard of this, but what does this have to do with your embezzlement of huge sums of money from the imperial court? ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Han! First of all.. The minister did not swallow a copper plate in the imperial court, let alone the hundreds of thousands of taels in your mouth, it was the minister who funded the business, and the minister who helped the minister was the craftsman who worked in the Baoyuan Bureau, and the minister also gave a lot of treatment that the entire capital could not find! ”

"Can the silver earned be from the Baoyuan Bureau?"

"Huh?"

I have to say that Wang Siqi's defense made the faces of many ministers show an expression that should have been so, as if he felt the reaction of the ministers around him, Zhu Gaoxu's face instantly became ugly, in his opinion, since Wang Siqi has arrived at the Baoyuan Bureau, and is doing business outside in the name of the Baoyuan Bureau, the silver earned is all the Baoyuan Bureau, and it is all from the imperial court.

No matter how much money he earns, he won't be able to take a cent with him.

A fat lamb at best... But now it seems that everything is not like this, Wang Siqi has already laid out everything early.

This made Zhu Gaoxu, who originally wanted to use this as an excuse to squeeze oil and water from Wang Siqi, very dissatisfied, and then snorted coldly and said: "You Wang Siqi is an official of the imperial court, what do you want to do with these hundreds of thousands of family wealth... It's better to take it out directly and support the great cause of the imperial court's Northern Expedition! ”

This statement of robber logic made Wang Siqi stunned.

He immediately shook his head with a smile, spread his hands and said: "According to His Royal Highness the King of Han, under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. ”

"Why should the court bother with no silver, see who is rich, just pull out the army, smash open the door, and take it casually... Anyway, it's useless to keep it, it's better to use it for the court first! ”

"You, you, you! What nonsense! ”

"When did this king say such a thing!"

Even if you want to, you can't admit it... Zhu Gaoxu was a little flustered, Wang Siqi's statement was very tempting, but this was tantamount to a method of killing chickens and eggs... Come a few times, what is the difference between the Ming court and the robbers?

is not the old Zhu back then, the current Zhu family is the Zhu family who has to be reasonable.

Zhu Di frowned, and looked coldly at Wang Siqi, who was fighting against Zhu Gaoxu at this time, with some mixed feelings in his heart, it was not for nothing that the boy of the Wang family was able to earn so much silver... On the other hand, the medicine developed by Wang Siqi saved Queen Xu.

Although it has not been completely cured, the symptoms have indeed been reduced a lot.

Queen Xu will not think about tea and dinner, and she will not be able to sleep day and night.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di still felt that he owed Wang Siqi a favor, and then he slapped the dragon chair and scolded angrily: "Second child! What nonsense are you talking about there... The court has no money, the court has a way, what kind of system do you put your eyes in other people's pots all day long! ”
