Several of his subordinates hurriedly patted him on the back, for fear that he would faint.

"Your Excellency, this is Mr. Jiang, the former Mr. Jiang, is there any mistake in this?"

The account room hurriedly came out to relieve the siege and said to Chen Daomin.

He decided to expose Jiang Junchang so that Chen Daomin would know the difficulty and retreat.

"Imperial History? Why did such a person come to Lingnan, and why did he become that treasurer? “

Chen Daomin's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was very surprised that a former minister of the Criminal Department suddenly appeared.

"What happened to the Sima who was there? Even if he is a prince, even if he violates the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner, let alone a commoner! ”

Chen Daomin thought about it, anyway, he had already provoked Jiang Junchang, so you don't have to be polite.

If this person really hears it, he also has to consider whether there is Yu Weishang or not

People are still there, people are still there.

However, he had never heard of this person's name, and he should have lived in seclusion for many years, and he was not afraid.

This case must continue to be investigated, after all, if the evidence of corruption can be presented, then this person is a dead end.

In that way, it is equivalent to helping the government find out a beast in sheep's clothing, and at the same time, it can also make people feel that he is a person who is not afraid of power.

Thinking of this, Chen Daomin no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered someone to look through those account books, trying to find some clues from them.

"Sir, the dean of Lingnan College is the dean of our college, can you please call the dean out and talk to him?"

An accountant said.

"You arrange two more people, keep an eye on him, and don't let him run away."

Chen Daomin waved his hand in agreement.

...

Next, let's focus on the merits of the new decree issued by King An.

Jia Siyan was also talking to his classmates at this time.

"Teacher! Dean! Something big happened, Mr. Jiang was arrested by the new county order, and now he is still investigating the accountant of our Lingnan University, saying that there are people in it who are corrupt and bribed. ”

The accountant walked quickly to the door of Jia Siyan's class, and shouted loudly regardless of whether Jia Siyan was still in class or not.

"Huh? As you walked, you told me exactly what had happened. ”

Hearing this, Jia Siyan's face also turned pale.

Hearing Jiang Junchang's anger along the way, his body was trembling, and his pace became faster and faster.

Jiang Junchang, he also spent a lot of effort to get it.

Jiang Junchang resigned in the name of Sima, but his qualifications far exceeded Jia Siyan, so he also respected Jiang Junchang very much.

Now, Jiang Junchang was angered by him in front of him, which made Jia Siyan lose face.

The group hurried to the accounting room, and after a while, they came to the place where the incident occurred.

"You're the one who wants to investigate my research funding? I've heard people say, you want to get your monthly salary back? “

As soon as Jia Siyan came in, he began to shout at Chen Daomin.

Because of the first meeting, he didn't have a good impression of Chen Daomin.

"Yes, Dean of Lingnan University, that's you, right?"

Chen Daomin looked curiously at the old man standing in front of him.

Jia Siyan's voice sounded.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Jia Siyan? The name was so familiar that I couldn't remember it for a while, probably the name of an old friend I had met before. ”

Chen Daomin was thoughtful.

"Yes, I've checked your accounts, and I'm beginning to wonder if you're suspected of embezzlement."

Chen Daomin raised the account book in his hand and said.

"Really? Isn't there anything greasy? What's going on? ”

Jia Siyan didn't say anything, just replied casually, and did not deny Chen Daomin's statement.

"In this project, there is a project for the development of steam engines, and the monthly expenditure is about 300,000 taels, why is that?"

Chen Daomin stretched out his hand a little and pointed in one direction.

"Jingling Railway Line, Lingnan Mansion is joining forces with the government, have you ever heard of it? Without the steam locomotive, the track would have lost its meaning.

Regarding the cost of this project, he has long written it in the contract, and it is not unacceptable to have three hundred thousand taels of gold per month.

And it was also approved by the imperial court. ”

Jia Siyan stared at Chen Daomin with a look that you are a fool.

"Hehe, of course I understand. What's going on with this analysis of saving physical strength? How can there be so much silver?

"This project is in charge of our Institute of Physics, and we have developed a new type of magnetic levitation device, which has played a great role in the reconstruction of the old city.

In terms of carrying and dismantling the old city wall, the labor required was reduced by 10%, and the time was reduced by 10%, saving 150,000 taels of silver for the imperial court.

You can find it in the account book of the renovation of the old town. ”

Jia Siyan once again swept towards Chen Daomin with a gaze like a hillbilly.

Two times in a row, Jia Siyan was able to solve it easily, which made Chen Daomin very embarrassed and embarrassed.

"How? How do you tell me?

What is the purpose of Anwang's experiments in business taxation in various states?

How could so much silver be wasted for such an inconsequential matter! ”

Chen Daomin asked loudly as if he had caught something.

"What? How dare you say that my research is nonsense!

Could it be that there are no useful people in the court now?

I actually sent a short-sighted fool like you to Lingnan to be a county magistrate! ”

As soon as Jia Siyan heard that Chen Daomin actually said that his experiment was worthless, he was angry.

There was originally a flame in his heart, and it was completely ignited by Chen Daomin's words at this time.

"Presumptuous, dare to insult me! I've long since canceled this will, and it's ridiculous that you're still watching it here! ”

Chen Daomin said angrily.

"Ahh You withdrew King An's edict? I'll kill you! ”

When Jia Siyan heard what King An did in Lingnan, he was immediately furious, and raised his hand to slap Chen Daomin's face.

Jia Siyan's current mood is like a senior student majoring in agriculture in his previous life, who was picked up when he was about to submit his graduation thesis.

The people in the yamen were all cold bystanders and did not stop them.

There is no longer the previous Chen Daomin who is only promised, only promised, and only promised.

What's more, there is a hint of schadenfreude.

Yes, they are all on Cao Youde's side and on Li Su's side.

After Chen Daomin was expelled, Cao Youde let them join his team.

At that time, whether it was collecting taxes or any decree issued by Chen Daomin, the officials would deliberately tell those merchants and commoners that it was a decree issued by the county order, and the purpose was to make enemies for Chen Daomin.

The reason why Cao Youde didn't go to Lingnan was because he wanted to trap Chen Daomin.

A crisp crash sounded.

Chen Daomin covered his cheeks, with an expression of disbelief, where is he sacred, where is sacred?

When he came back to his senses, he was even more angry, and scolded Jia Siyan:

"If you dare to attack a courtier, I will put you to death, I will execute you!

Come on, arrest this kid and put him in prison! ”

But the man from the yamen didn't move, just stood quietly aside.

"Hmph, put me in the dungeon? The last time I was imprisoned was when I was the emperor.

I didn't get any orders, just kill seventeen officials above the fourth rank, so I was thrown into the dungeon.

Now you just want me to go to prison with a Sipin county order? ”

Jia Siyan roared angrily, exuding a powerful momentum from his body, so that Chen Daomin didn't dare to look at him.

"In the fifteenth year of Taihe, there was great corruption in the capital, and 17 officials were beheaded!

Die! You! Jia Siyan, hello! Prime Minister Jia Siyan, do you know?! ”

As soon as Chen Daomin heard Jia Siyan say that he had beheaded 17 officials, he remembered a corruption incident that occurred in the capital during the reign of His Majesty the Emperor.

The person in charge of this case is none other than the current prime minister, Jia Siyan.

Chen Daomin suddenly looked at the white-haired and white-bearded old man with fear on his face.

"Why, why did you come to Lingnan, why did you become the dean of Lingnan University! I thought you were out there! ”

Chen Daomin muttered, his eyes blurred, and his mouth muttered.

In the Daqian Dynasty, no one would disrespect the existence of such a minister, who even the emperor had to respectfully call "sir".

But the person in front of him appeared alive in front of him, and he also gave him a resounding slap.

Just now, he specially invited this Zuo Xiang and His Majesty the Emperor to the dungeon to show his gratitude.

This awesome is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime, but the time is too short.

“...”

When he came out of Lingnan College, Chen Daomin is not clear.

His feet were so weak that he couldn't even walk, so he was carried by the officials and sent to the county office.

Thinking of what Jia Siyan said in front of him, and the fact that he was going to be valued by the court again, Ren Baqian had a creepy feeling, as if he was waiting for the end of the world.

King An's Mansion, in the main hall.

At this moment, all the people present are Li Su's cronies, as well as the heads of several institutions in Lingnan Prefecture.

"Your Majesty, I admire you so much, your means are too much.

In a gesture, even you didn't show up, and Chen Daomin was already doomed. “

Cao Youde said respectfully that for Li Su, he admired him from the bottom of his heart.

This series of actions is like opening a whole new world for him.

I didn't expect to be able to play like this.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that with Chen Daomin's character and the situation in Lingnan, there is still a little chance, that's it."

Li Su smiled slightly and arched his hand.

"Huh? What's going on here? I don't really understand. ”

Qi Yong was a little confused.

"Boss Qi, this is right, if you can understand, Chen Daomin will not be fooled."

Liu Lin on the side also said.

After Chen Daomin succeeded to the throne, he returned to Yan Zhaoge's side, although he did not personally intervene in this matter, but he, an outsider, could see the clues.

"Elder Liu, tell me, I just listened to Your Majesty, let me pretend to be against Cao Shao, let me make trouble in the barracks, as for the rest, I don't know very well."

Qi Yong shook Liu Lin's arm, looking weak, which made Liu Lin disgusted for a while, and hurriedly avoided it.

"Let go of me! Don't touch me! ”

Liu Lin slapped Qi Yong's arm away and stroked his sleeve.

"Okay, I'll let you go, you tell me."

Qi Yong hurriedly ran away from Liu Lin, looking flattering.

"Do you know why the prince asked the civil and military officials not to come out to welcome Chen Daomin?

Why do you want your Sun Dayong and Lao Chen to deal with Chen Daomin?

Why is it that no one in the yamen he expelled is respectful to him, and he is a king? ”

Liu Lin said a little unconvinced.

"Isn't His Royal Highness seeking justice for Lao Cao? Give Chen Daomin a dismissal.

Qi Yong looked innocent.

"How can the prince be such a shallow person! His Majesty naturally has a reason for doing this.

This move is to provoke Chen Daomin and make him prejudiced against His Majesty's orders.

He will be carried away by prejudice and subvert His Majesty's rule indiscriminately. ”

The stars are connected, Liu Xi said.

Li Su sat on the main seat, watching Liu Lin explain his plan in detail, and secretly said in his heart: "I'm just an appearance. ”

"Oh, in this way, Chen Daomin wants to subvert the rule of the prince, and it is the prince who instigates it."

Qi Yong showed a hint of realization.

"Yes, why did the prince let Brother Cao be so hostile to you, what do you think?"

"I understand, I say this to make Chen Daomin think that Lao Cao is a traitor, and if you oppose an upright person like me, you can become one of his lackeys and become his cronies." Qi Yong said.

Qi Yong stood there with his head held high, not forgetting to sweep Cao Youde who was sitting next to him with a disdainful gaze.

"You rude guy, you are a traitor, you are a lackey of Chen Daomin, if you don't know how to speak, you should be bitten off by him!"

Cao Youde was so angry that he smoked, stretched out his hand and pointed at Qi Yong, and scolded.

"Hehe, Lao Liu, you go on."

The quarrel between Qi Yong and Cao Youde has always been commonplace, and the other people in the hall are not surprised by this.

"Over the years, our expenditure in Lingnan has been used by the treasury and the treasury of King An.

In fact, most of the time, he relied on the income from the sale of mirrors, glass, and spirits in the inner library to support the administrative work of Lingnan Prefecture.

Especially in my Lingnan Prefecture, it is difficult for me to afford such a large workload with government taxes alone.

Over the years, it has been maintained by the silver from the inner treasury of King An's mansion.

However, after knowing that Chen Daomin was going to Lingnan to serve as a county magistrate, His Majesty immediately cut off the funds transferred from the state treasury and changed them to funds transferred from the state treasury.

Chen Daomin abolished the prince's taxes and requisitioned all the taxes of the great cadres, making the treasury even more impoverished.

Moreover, I also sent you to collect military expenses and forced Chen Daomin to fill up all the money in the treasury.

Later, Chen Daomin proposed more taxes, and even if he did not plan to use them to enrich the treasury, he would have to raise funds from other sources.

As a person in government, what else can you do besides collecting taxes?

He didn't have the talent of the Third Prince, how could he be a businessman?

On the surface, you're improvising, but in reality, you've been anticipating it for a long time. ”

Liu Lin said with a serious face.

"And Chen Daomin wants to do something to Lingnan University, I think Chen Daomin also hit a hard bone by mistake.

No one could have imagined that in a school that looked ordinary from the outside, Mr. Teaching was actually the current Prime Minister. ”

Liu Lin continued.

"This is the blessing of our princess, the existence of God's favor, and others do not have such blessings."

Qi Yong immediately spoke.

This made everyone a little dumbfounded, and even Li Su's face was a little ugly.

"Hey, I said you're an old man, do you know how to shoot horses all day long?" Cao Youde on the side said in a weird way.

The capital, Chengtian Palace.

After receiving the good news from Chen Daomin, his face became very good, and the whole Lingnan was under his control.

Today, he still wants to make a great contribution to Chen Daomin.

He even hoped that when Chen Daomin took Lingnan Prefecture into his own hands, the treasures of Lingnan Prefecture would also become a source of income for him.

"Father, there is a letter from Lingnan.

The businessmen there were grateful to Lingnan County for canceling the 10% tax and implementing the preferential policy of 20% of the tax.

They were all grateful to their father for sending such a loyal person as Chen Xianling for the sake of the people of Lingnan.

The prince stepped forward.

"Really? Didn't King An say the same thing? Why was this family affair canceled as soon as Chen Daomin left? “

Emperor Qian asked puzzledly, after Li Su defeated the demon target tribe, he sent a secret guard to investigate, and he knew some of the "ten taxes and one" policy implemented by Li Su.

Although King Pan could not interfere in state affairs, he had the power to make suggestions, and now both the imperial court and the Emperor Qian acquiesced that King Pan could interfere in state affairs.

"The Chen County Order not only abolished ten taxes, but also canceled ten taxes."

With the seven orders of King An, Lingnan is now full of people from the government. ”

The eldest prince said.

The implication is that if Chen Daomin didn't leave, then the king of Lingnan County would not have the heart to care about the affairs of the court

It's here.

The face of the emperor does not change color.

When he first heard that the Lingnan merchants were grateful to him, he was very happy.

It's just that when he mentioned Chen Daomin and canceled the seventeen decrees of King An, his heart was not happy.

Chen Daomin was sent to Lingnan to be the county magistrate, although it was to balance King An, but it was not to guard against Li Su's suspicions.

He sent a county magistrate, firstly to gag the mouths of the people, and secondly, to show the importance of officialdom.

As an emperor, he naturally wants Lingnan to get better day by day.

"I understand, then let him tell King An, some of His Royal Highness King An's methods are very good."

Emperor Qian said very calmly, he hoped that this Chen Daomin would be able to restrain himself a little.

"Father, thanks to Chen Daomin, I can make the businessmen of Lingnan loyal to me, and I want to ask my father to give Chen Daomin of Lingnan a reward."

The prince bowed, and then continued.

Only if Chen Daomin makes great contributions, his work will be even harder.

Li Yan also understood that even if he followed him, it was impossible for him to surrender because of his strength, but he had to give him both grace and power in order to make him surrender.
