Chapter 195: Big Things Turned Small Ones
Su Xuan, this is called impatience.
Let him explain clearly, will he die if he interjects less?
This old thing is even more difficult than Song Siyuan.
"This is the official seal of the household department, this is the key to the treasury, and the ledger is all in it. Come on, Master Lu, you go check it yourself first, and see if you dare to be foolish after the check." Su Xuan didn't have a good airway.
Nothing in the room understood what it meant to be blind.
But they all know that it's certainly not a compliment.
"Lu Aiqing, I've said it several times, let Xiao Xuanzi finish speaking." The emperor frowned, and the atmosphere above the court hall became a little colder.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lu said that I colluded with Shang Jia, which is inappropriate. The minister did not collude with the merchants, but cooperated with Fuyao Lou to sell salt through their signboards. As for saying that the minister went to Fuyao Lou to be the shopkeeper, it would be even more ridiculous."
Su Xuan turned his head and smiled at the civil and military officials: "The minister is the second-grade Shangshu, and he ran to be the shopkeeper, what kind of system has he become?"
Hearing this, the emperor felt interesting again.
Su Xuan said that he was doing business with Fuyao Lou again, and said that he was cooperating, what is the statement?
"To tell the truth, this fine salt and iodized salt were not invented by Fuyaolou, but by ministers." Su Xuan said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
The iodized salt they eat every day, and even the iodized salt that they sometimes can't grab, was actually invented by Su Xuan?
This...... How can it be?
When the emperor heard this, a casual smile appeared on his face.
No one else believed this, but he immediately believed it.
Fuyaolou definitely didn't have the courage to use him for publicity, but Su Xuan did not stick to anything
Ge, definitely have the guts.
So this fine salt and iodized salt really came from him.
In this way, Su Xuan sent him salt to eat that day, in order to wait for him to say that it was delicious, and Su Xuan would use this sentence to do publicity.
This little eunuch is really smart and clever!
"As for why the minister cooperated with Fuyaolou, it was because if the household department openly sold salt to the common people, it would not be unorthodox. Therefore, the minister cooperated with Fuyao Lou and used the signboard of Fuyao Lou to sell salt to the outside world." Su Xuan said.
"Several little Xuanzi." The emperor smiled and raised his finger to point at Su Xuan.
You didn't just use me for publicity, you even made money on my head?
He took the lead in eating iodized salt, and the civil and military officials had long been prevalent, which of these courtiers wouldn't give it a try?
The ministers of the court and the central government have all eaten iodized salt, how can the rich gentry in Beijing not try it?
The capital is prosperous, there are many rich people, and there are many people who can afford to buy ten taels of silver and a pound of salt.
Who is the richest person in Beijing? Aren't these dignitaries?
"Lu Aiqing, what other questions?" The Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, Su Xuan said that he invented salt, but he has no evidence. How could he be a little eunuch and invent such a good thing?" Lu Jifei said.
"Even you admit it's a good thing?"
Su Xuan asked.
"This iodized salt tastes wonderful, and it's a good thing." Lu Jifei replied.
"Who are we?" Su Xuan asked again.
"In addition to having two titles on your body, aren't you just a eunuch?" Lu Jifei asked rhetorically.
"Hehehe......"
Above the court, someone laughed.
"According to you, eunuchs are nothing
Rubbish?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.
Lu Jifei couldn't answer again, this is another pit.
The eunuch was in the palace, albeit at the bottom of the chain of contempt. But among this group of eunuchs, there is also a solemn declaration that stands up to the sky.
Without waiting for Lu Jifei to answer, Su Xuan arched his hand and said, "The emperor is the Ninety-Five, the pride of the sky, and the king of eternity. The emperor's side, how can he raise waste?
If our family is a waste, how can the emperor hand over the household department to our family?"
At this time, Su Xuan saw a small movement from the fourth princess who had not spoken, and she secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Not to mention that this sycophant was in place, he also scared Lu Jifei back.
Although the emperor knew that Su Xuan was patting on the back, what kind of pride of the sky, the emperor of all ages, he didn't think about this. But in the next hundred years, he will definitely be ranked in the ancestral temple.
"Your Majesty, the minister just said it, but there are always people who can't remember. All the cashiers of the household department are recorded in the treasury. This includes all the income and expenditure on salt since the beginning of the month. These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are definitely not from the ministers who embezzled the state money. Every penny comes above board.
Also, as for whether this salt was from Fuyao Tower, or was it invented by the minister. If the emperor is willing to move the yamen of the household department, he will know at a glance. The work of refining coarse salt is all carried out in the yamen of the household department.
If there are still people who are not convinced, the minister is willing to hand over the official seal of the household department. Whoever has the ability to rely on his official position to fill the gap of 10 million taels of silver will be the secretary of the household department."
Su Xuan said loudly.
Su Xuan said this, and Lu Jifei was also dumbfounded.
Su Xuan's words are too beautiful, he
is clearly saying that even if he relies on greed to make up for the deficit of tens of millions of taels of silver, he doesn't know that he will be greedy until the year of the monkey.
In addition, the household is now semi-paralyzed, who can revitalize the household, who is the real ability.
As Su Xuan said, you can't turn silver into money with your mouth, you have to find a way.
Lu Jifei really couldn't imagine that the salt that swept the capital was really from the hands of this little eunuch.
These days, he doesn't eat less!
Unexpectedly, all his silver was earned by this little eunuch!
The emperor glared at Su Xuan, and Su Xuan immediately shut up.
"What I give you, you must do your best, and do your best. I don't like you to pick and choose at every turn, you see?" The emperor said coldly.
"The minister is guilty." Su Xuan replied.
The emperor's words are another pun.
It means that he recognized Su Xuan's position as the head of the household department, and after the household department gap is filled, Su Xuan will take off the code on his head and put on the official hat of the household department.
"Lu Aiqing, did you understand what Xiao Xuanzi said?" The Emperor asked Lu Jifei.
"The minister understands, and the minister is guilty." Lu Jifei said.
"Get up."
"Your Majesty."
At this time, the emperor began to get down to business.
"Although Lu Zhenghong's use of the Praetorian Guards is excusable, it almost made a big mistake, and the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped."
The emperor sighed secretly, this matter really can't be traced, otherwise it will still be found on Su Xuan's head.
When the time comes, a large penalty will not be conducive to the stability of the court at present.
"Lu Zheng has ten red rods, and he will be punished for one year, and he will go home to face the wall for three months as a warning." The Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Thanksgiving!"
"This punishment is a little bit
Light......" Su Xuan muttered.
The emperor heard Su Xuan's words clearly, and inadvertently glared at Su Xuan.
"Little Xuanzi, after the court disperses later, come to the imperial study."
"Yes."
