"If I were you, I wouldn't stay in Chang'an City."

"The world is a big place to go, even if you go to Lingnan, it's not impossible to be a little barren."

Seeing that Fang Yuan didn't speak, Li Zhi continued.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen it so much at a young age, I really admire it."

"If Your Majesty and the princes understand my thoughts, I don't have to be so difficult."

Fang Yuan said with a sigh.

Looking at Li Zhi in the current situation, the future Datang is destined to be more brilliant in his hands.

Now that Wu Ruyi has followed him, Datang will not have another empress, and the glory of Datang will not be restrained.

"It's just that the teachers teach well."

"King Zhou, when will you give me another lesson?"

Li Zhi said modestly.

Then he looked up at Fang Yuan, his eyes filled with hope.

He had only taken one class in science so far, and he and the other two hoped that Fang Yuan would come back and talk about it.

"You also know about me recently, I will apply to the imperial court when I have time, and I will give you another lesson."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

He was still nominally the prince's teacher, although only for one lesson.

Previously, many people in the imperial court opposed Fang Yuan as the prince's teacher, and Kong Yingda and his disciples and grandchildren also did a lot of things.

Later, Fang Yuan was crowned king and prepared for the Maritime Silk Road, etc., and the time was very busy, so he postponed the opportunity to give Li Zhi and them lessons in the future.

Originally, the science course was chosen by Li Shimin for Li Zhi at will, and Fang Yuan's teaching quality was only good, so Fang Yuan didn't have time for the imperial court to urge.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Li Zhi gave Fang Yuan a teacher's salute.

He and Fang Yuan only separated from each other after they walked to Chengtian Gate.

As soon as he came out of Chengtian Gate, Fang Qingping caught up with Shangyuan.

"My lord, do you have time for a private chat?"

Fang Qingping looked at Fang Yuan.

With hope and urgency in his eyes.

"Where do you want to go for a private chat?"

Fang Yuan bowed his head and did not refuse.

"This way, please!"

Fang Qingping was immediately overjoyed and invited Fang Yuan to walk to the side.

This is still within the imperial city, and the six departments and nine temples are working here.

But it is also a place to live, in addition to various departmental institutions.

There are quite a few places that are pleasing to the eye and create a familiar environment.

After walking for a while, the two came to a pavilion next to a lake.

The view here is very good, relatively wide, not easy to hide and eavesdrop, and it can also make people look above board.

Great place to talk.

"My lord, do you need your subordinates to keep an eye on Gao Shilian for you?"

Fang Qingping said in a deep voice.

He looked at Fang Yuan, very sincere.

"Then you just keep an eye on him and let me know as soon as you have something."

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said.

There is no problem with the ledger, and you can find out how much money you have earned.

But Gao Shilian, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and he did everything, so it was inevitable that he would mess up.

Since Fang Qingping took the initiative to help, let him help and keep an eye on Gao Shilian.

"That. Have you ever thought about pulling Gao Shilian down? ”

"This person targets you in many places, whether you are in the household department or not, they regard you as a thorn in their side."

Fang Qingping took a deep breath, clenched his fists slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"I thought about it, but I wasn't sure enough to take him down."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

It is no secret that Gao Shilian has repeatedly targeted Fang Yuan.

It's just that Gao Shilian is highly respected, and he is the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he also has a relationship with the royal family.

In addition, he has all kinds of difficulties for the other party, but it is not enough to make the other party fall off, and he is not sure to get Gao Shilian down.

"If."

Fang Qingping approached Fang Yuan and whispered in Fang Yuan's ear.

After speaking, he looked at Fang Yuan nervously and excitedly, looking forward to Fang Yuan's decision.

He was also very dissatisfied with Gao Shilian, he had been bullied by Gao Shilian for a long time.

Even now, he has been hit by Gao Shilian in the household department and is in a marginal position.

But if Gao Shilian is pulled off the horse, and the household department only has himself as a household servant, then it is very likely that he will be on the throne.

"It's an adventure!"

"You can wait for him to do it, but you can't!"

"If the evidence of the crime is not ironclad, then the emperor will not give you a chance to bring him down."

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Fang Qingping meant that when Gao Shilian checked the account books, he secretly falsified, so as to wrongfully accuse Gao Shilian of fraud.

With such evidence, coupled with Gao Shilian's testimony to so many people in the imperial court, there are almost no exceptions to Gao Shilian's ouster.

But there is a difference between true fraud and Fang Qingping's fraud and wronging Gao Shilian, and it may be discovered, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Because it was discovered, it was originally Gao Shilian's crime, but it became the crime of Fang Qingping and Fang Yuan, and the consequences were terrible.

For example, Fang Yuan's money court may find a reason to confiscate it, and even the king with a different surname who has just been crowned will be attacked by the ministers.

"Yes."

Fang Qingping had some regrets, and he could only be.

"This king has to warn you again, don't let you cheat, this risk is not worth the king's risk!"

Fang Yuan saw Fang Qingping like this, and felt that the other party didn't pay much attention to it, so he warned him.

"Yes!"

Fang Qingping was excited, didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and left quickly.

Fang Yuan sat in place for a moment, then got up and left, leaving the palace.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The day has come for Gao Shilian to reconcile the accounts.

He wanted to give Fang Yuan an answer today.

Early on, Fang Yuan was urged.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Gao Shilian's person replied to Fang Yuan, and there was already a result, so he asked Fang Yuan to go to the household department.

Households.

After Fang Yuan arrived, Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the ministry, arrived in advance.

In addition to him, there were several representatives from other ministries who were also waiting for Fang Yuan on the side.

"What about the Emperor?"

"How can you justify the king's affairs if the emperor is not present?"

Fang Yuan looked around, looked at Gao Shilian, and said in a deep voice.

"Reconciliation is just a trivial matter, there is no need to trouble Your Majesty, we can start."

Gao Shilian said in a deep voice.

"It's just a trifle, you say?"

"It's just a little thing, you mentioned it in the early dynasty?"

"Go, invite the emperor to come over, just say what this king said!"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly and swept his gaze towards the officials of the household department.

After a while, some of the officials of the household department immediately stood up and saluted Fang Yuan before leaving.

Fang Yuan also worked as a scholar in the household department, and also worked as a waiter for a period of time, and has a certain number of supporters.

Gao Shilian watched the official leave, his eyes became a little gloomy, but he didn't stop it.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others waited silently, and they didn't stop them.

Time passed about a stick of incense, and Li Shimin was invited.

With Li Shimin being invited, more representatives of the six ministries came over.

The last six Shangshu all arrived.

"Let's get started."

Li Shimin sat on the main seat and said indifferently.

Gao Shilian listened, took a deep breath, and asked people to lift Fang Yuan's account book out.

"After three days and three nights of liquidation in the household department, our household department finally came up with a terrible number."

"Here are the figures of income and expenditure of the three major factories, as well as the final profits, which are 143 million, 92 million, and 51 million respectively!"

As Gao Shilian's number broke out, even Li Shimin became not calm, and his eyes flashed with horror.

The other ministers gasped, thinking they had misheard.

You must know that the annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only more than 60 million.

And the revenue of the three major factories is 143 million!

All of them were more than twice the tax revenue of the imperial court.

If these ledgers are several years old, you can tell me.

But from the establishment of the three major factories to the present, it seems that it has not been three years.

In less than three years, the income was more than twice the tax revenue of the imperial court.

It's terrible!

And the profit in it.

Five hundred and one million!

Fifty-one million, that's a lot?

I've never seen so much money in my life, and I can't even think of how much money there is.

At this moment, all the people present were also unable to calm down.

"Plus!" Gao Shilian looked around at the crowd, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In addition, according to our inventory of the cash on the shipyard and the estimation of famous paintings according to the market, we all know more than 86 million!" ”

"Hiss!!!"

Gao Shilian's words were not finished, and the ministers present could no longer help but gasp.

One by one, they all looked at Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was indifferent and was also uncomfortable by them one by one.

"Silence, I'm not done yet!"

"I want to ask His Royal Highness King Zhou, how did the difference between the money on the shipyard and the net profit of the three major factories by more than 10 million come from?"

Gao Shilian looked at Fang Yuan and said.

When the words fell, the officials present also looked at Fang Yuan.

Li Shimin was the same, and he was also looking at Fang Yuan.

He was shocked that Fang Yuan Shipyard had more than 86 million assets.

There is no doubt that the treasury does not have so much money, and his inner treasury does not have so much money, and it does not add up.

Rich and rivaled!

This is the rich and the rich!

"Is there only three factories in this king?"

"What you need to do is not to ask Benwang why he has so much money, but whether there is a problem with the accounts of the three major factories."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

In fact, he didn't know how much money the shipyard had shipped.

Once there is more money, it will become a number, and Fang Yuan has not cared about the problem of money for a long time.

Now Du Miaoyan is in control of the money, and Xue Jiaoyan and Wu Ruyi and others are also helping to plan as accountants.

"Since His Royal Highness King Zhou said this, then I really have an account here that I can't understand, please explain to His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Gao Shilian beckoned, and an official immediately picked up the top two books from the ledger of those boxes brought by Fang Yuan.

After he said to Gao Shilian, he walked to Li Shimin and paid Li Shimin the problems in the account book.

Li Shimin listened carefully, and watched Fang Yuan twice during the period, but he didn't know what he meant.

But the expressions of the officials present changed.

In the end, after the account book passed through Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wang Qi and others, it came to Fang Yuan.

"Please ask His Royal Highness King Zhou to point out why there is such a big difference between these two accounts, and there are 100,000 yuan!"

Gao Shilian stared at Fang Yuan and said.

"Then you will embarrass this king!"

"This king doesn't care about the money, let people spread their faces."

Fang Yuan just glanced at it and didn't look at it again.

Indeed, the same account is a different record, and this is a problem.

If this problem is not solved clearly, then Fang Yuan's money will be said to be problematic.

Because if one record is wrong, others may also be wrong, and there will be more difficulties, and so on.

Gao Shilian did not speak, but looked at Li Shimin.

"See what I'm doing?"

"I'm not here to administer justice, you're the one in charge of this account review."

Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice.

He snorted coldly in his heart, slightly dissatisfied with Gao Shilian.

It seems that Gao Shilian respects him and asks for his opinion.

But it became a matter of letting him call the shots and tying himself to a line.

Although he was shocked that Fang Yuan had made so much money, as long as it was Fang Yuan's, he had no opinion.

Huaxia Qianzhuang also sent a lot of money to his inner treasury, and the three major factories and so on also played a great role in stimulating the economy of Datang.

As long as it is compliant and legal, this money can be earned.

Gao Shilian smiled, which made people pass on Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan didn't do anything in the Fang Mansion today, just waiting for a possible summons.

Sure enough, after being summoned, Du Miaoyan immediately took Xue Jiaoyan, Wu Ruyi and Lu Xia into the palace.

"I've seen Princess Zhou!"

When everyone saw Du Miaoyan, except for Li Shimin, they naturally had to salute.

After all, Du Miaoyan is now the princess of Zhou, and her status is already above them.

"I've seen you."

"Gao Shangshu, if there is a problem, please point it out."

Du Miaoyan saluted Li Shimin first, and then everyone saluted her.

After all the trivial etiquette was over, Du Miaoyan looked directly at Gao Shilian and asked.

Xue Jiaoyan and the others also looked at Gao Shilian, feeling like they were waiting for Gao Shilian to make a move.

Gao Shilian looked at the official just now and motioned for him to take the account book and show it to Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan glanced at it, looked back at Xue Jiaoyan and Lu Xia, she didn't remember such an account.

In fact, even if you don't remember, it's normal, the three major factories are big factories, each factory has more than 3,000 people, and the income from financial support is very huge.

"Let us look it up!"

Xue Jiaoyan didn't remember such an account for a while.

She didn't care about etiquette, so she was about to sit on the ground and start checking the accounts, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.

"After this king left the household, are all the people blind, and they don't know how to move the stool?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

Gao Shilian's face suddenly froze.

Before he could speak, Fang Qingping immediately moved the stool himself.

When he left, he shook his head at Fang Yuan, indicating that he didn't see Gao Shilian cheating.

Fang Yuan didn't respond, he knew it in his heart, and asked Xue Jiaoyan to check his account.

Wu Ruyi and Lu Xia immediately came over to help, and the three of them began to check the accounts.

Everyone looked at Xue Jiaoyan and the others, their expressions complicated.

After a stick of incense, Xue Jiaoyan stopped the movement in her hand, her face was difficult to look at Xiang Fang Yuan, and she shook her head slightly.

When everyone saw it, their expressions suddenly became more colorful, and Gao Shilian's eyes lit up.

"How, can you explain the problem with this account?"

Gao Shilian said loudly.

"This account. Wrong. ”

Du Miaoyan took a deep breath, stood up and said.

When the words fell, everyone was in an uproar, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

There is a mistake in this account, that is, there is something wrong with Fang Yuan's account book.

If there is a problem with this account, then there may be a problem with other accounts.

Eighty-six million, such a huge number, if you can divide it?

"Since Princess Zhou said it was wrong, the household department asked for another thorough investigation, which lasted for a month, shouldn't it be too much?"

Gao Shilian smiled smugly.

Everyone looked at Du Miaoyan one after another, and finally looked at Fang Yuan.
