Then Emperor Wanli wrote a letter in which he praised Wu Shilang and the three of them, and at the same time told them that everything was as usual. If there is a need, they will let them contribute to the operation, and they will definitely be rewarded by high-ranking officials!

After receiving the letter, Liu Haojia told Emperor Wanli that he would ask them to write a reply letter, and with this letter in hand, he was not afraid that they would change their minds in the future. Then he opened the account book and explained it in detail to Emperor Wanli. How much money did this family collect? What is the approximate flow of water on a weekday? Let Emperor Wanli have a clear understanding of this collection of money. At the same time, he also taught him some simple financial principles.

When he felt that Emperor Wanli was a little impatient, he said: "Long live Lord, you want to report good news to the Queen Mother about such a large amount of silver?" ”

Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "It really should be so!" Then go out of the palace and prepare the silver, and I will go to the queen mother to give good tidings. ”

After Liu Haojia retreated, Emperor Wanli rushed directly to the Queen Mother's dormitory with all his clothes. Empress Dowager Li had long known the news of Liu Haojia's entry into the palace, and guessed that Emperor Wanli was coming to her to report the good news, so she waited with a smile.

As soon as Emperor Wanli entered the palace and saw the figure of the Empress Dowager Li, he said loudly: "Queen Mother, Liu Haojia has sent me silver, there are nearly 200,000 taels!" ”

Empress Dowager Li, who was originally holding a teacup, almost choked on a mouthful of tea when she heard this! She hurriedly spit out the water back into the teacup, and carefully cleared her throat before she said in surprise: "Long live Lord, how much did you say just now?" ”

Emperor Wanli danced and reported the number and said: "The specific number should be a little less, because Liu Haojia has a lot of private silver minted by the people, and there will be a lot of fire consumption when it is smelted into official silver!" ”

Only then did Empress Dowager Li remember to put down the teacup and said, "How can there be so many?" ”

Emperor Wanli repeated what he had just heard from Liu Haojia, and when he was halfway through, he sent all the palace maids to retreat before he told the second half of the conversation with Liu Haojia. Then he took the ledger and spread it out and explained it carefully.

When he finished speaking, Empress Dowager Li said: "Long live Lord, what he said is right, there are some things that cannot be easily touched now!" ”

Emperor Wanli gritted his teeth and said: "When I think that so much silver has been greedy for ink by these people, my heart hurts with anger!" How much can you do with so much money? At the very least, the Yellow River embankment can be carefully repaired, and how many fewer people can die! ”

At this time, Empress Dowager Li has completely straightened out her thinking, although she is very happy to receive so much money, at least with this money in the harem, the harem will be much easier. But she was very unhappy about Liu Haojia's future training with Emperor Wanli!

Because he feels that his son is not Taizu, a male lord like Taizong, and if one is not good, it will cause turmoil in the world! So she said softly: "Long live the Lord don't have to think about it!" In fact, even if you want to push the commercial tax in the north, you won't be able to collect much money! Because the north is not as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the trade in the north is concentrated in Beijing, if you push it out in other places, you won't be able to collect so much money! ”

Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "Liu Haojia also told me about this, and I also understand!" So I'm not in a hurry now, and there's still time to wait slowly. ”

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, her heart was happy, so she took Emperor Wanli's hand and said countless words. Emperor Wanli is also filial, no matter what the Empress Dowager Li said, he agreed to it whether he liked it or not, but he coaxed the Empress Dowager Li to be happy, and for a time the mother and son were happy!

The next day, the small church in the west of the city was suddenly closed, causing passers-by to speculate about what Greedy Mo was going to do? Just when Greedy Mo was speculating, many palace guards and people dressed as eunuchs came with a lot of vehicles and entered the school directly.

After a long time, when Greedy Ink finally appeared, it was full of silver chests. Those who are good already know that this is a gift of silver to the palace! Although they didn't know how much silver there was, they knew it was an astronomical amount when they saw a long list of cars!

When the silver was pulled into the palace, the civil and military officials of the court also began to pay attention. Because they all knew that it would be their turn to honor the emperor, they all guessed how much silver they could get.

In the evening of the third day, a large number of Jinyi guards came out of the school yard. But instead of carrying silver on their backs, they carried wooden boxes one after another. But it doesn't seem to be able to hold a few taels of silver in it, which makes it very strange for those who pay attention.

When these brocade guards rushed to the yamen everywhere, they didn't ask to see the people inside, anyway, they stood a little far away from the official office, and waited until the officials everywhere got off their posts, and then they came over from the crowd.

The officials who had been busy all day were much more relaxed at this time, because they were about to go home to rest. But they won't be so easy to go. According to the rules of officialdom, they could not disperse until the superior officials left, so when the officials came out, they divided the salutes before they hugged the officials out of the yamen.

Tang Henian was the chief official of the Shanxi Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Officials. He is over 40 years old this year, and he is in the prime of life, and he still has the heart to forge ahead! So every time the value is placed, it is always the last one to come out. So when he walked out of the yamen with a group of subordinates, the other colleagues on the street could only look at their backs!

At this time, when he was about to wave his hand to signal everyone to disperse, a person dressed as a brocade guard not far away quickly stepped forward and said loudly: "Lord Tang, please stay!" ”

Tang Henian was a staunch civilian, opposing all martial artists, especially Jinyiwei! So he saw that a brocade guard greeted him a little disliked, so he frowned and said, "Who are you?" What's the matter with stopping this officer? ”

Jinyiwei took a few steps forward, held a wooden box in both hands and handed it over, and said: "Lord Tang, the villain is a subordinate of Lord Liu of Jinyiwei, and he was ordered by Lord Liu to send some things to deliver to Lord Tang." ”

Tang Henian thought that Liu Haojia had something to ask him, so he immediately wanted to show his style and reprimand this brocade guard. But then he thought of the money collection that had made a lot of noise in the capital some time ago, and he thought that maybe this was the arrival of the money!

But he looked carefully at the small wooden box in Jinyiwei's hand and couldn't put a little silver tael, and he felt a little drumming in his heart! Thinking that if Liu Haojia only sent more than ten or twenty taels of silver, he would definitely be impeached for bribery!

Thinking of this, he took the wooden box and opened it in front of several subordinates, and found that what was in the wooden box was not silver, but a pile of colorful pieces of paper! Then he realized that this should be the banker's ticket!
