Chapter Eighty-Four: Who Takes Advantage of Whom

Chang Feng and his brothers carefully checked the accounts and the amount of gold and silver.

The check is correct, in case the three brothers of the Wan family have something to hide. He spent another day with Xu Fatzi and them to check Bazang.

In the end, only more than 300 taels of silver were found on the eaves and tiles of Wanfu.

The three hundred taels of silver were not deliberately concealed by Wantong. It's just forgetting.

After sorting out the accounts and sealing all the belongings, Chang Feng and Xu Fatzi returned to Jinyiwei to recover their lives.

Zhu Ji looked at the account book carefully. When he saw the total of 420,000 taels, he was also taken aback: "The Wan family is really able to fish." ”

Chang Feng was silent. He knew that Zhu Ji didn't like his subordinates to interfere indiscriminately.

Zhu Ji closed the account book: "From today onwards, Jinyi Wei has established a new rule. The income from the seizure of the house, twenty of the two into the private treasury of the guard. ”

It's not that Zhu Ji is greedy.

There are 8,000 Jinyi guards, but in the two capitals and 13 provinces, there are 30,000 people without posts.

These eyes and ears, the court does not pay silver. They can't do it in vain.

It costs money to buy Tatars, Warats, Jurchens, and Annam to collect enemy intelligence.

Pao Ze should be rewarded for meritorious service, and he should be given money for decoction and medicine for injury.

When going out on secret errands, it costs money to eat, drink, sleep, walk, live, sit, lie and walk.

Because it is a secret errand, it is impossible to make a list and ask the household department for verification.

In the words of later generations, a large part of Jinyiwei's unit expenditure is not funded by financial allocation.

This is not a situation peculiar to the Ming Dynasty's secret services.

In later generations, the CIA was on fire in ten places in the world, nine of which it put it, and the rest was not put by it, but it would pour oil on the fire.

The CIA is not funded by grants alone. In the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, the CIA even did the pickled business of selling white goods to raise funds.

In short, Jinyi Wei has always had private inventory since the Hongwu Dynasty.

When Wantong was in charge of Jinyiwei, the income from the private treasury was often the income of extorting officials and wealthy households.

Zhu Ji is a person with a bottom line and disdains extortion. I can only hit the idea on the stolen money obtained from the robbery.

One out of twenty is not too much. It is not for the satisfaction of selfish desires, but for official business.

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Yes." Keep in mind the commander's order, take one out of twenty. ”

Zhu Ji commanded again: "Wantong, this person is really ridiculous. The accumulated grain, pepper, and sumacia were actually stored in the warehouse of the user department. ”

"It also saves us from handing over to the household department."

"By the way, all the miscellaneous items such as gems, pearls, animal skins, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were copied out were handed over to the inner carrier warehouse and presented to the emperor."

The next day, Chang Feng first asked his subordinates to transport 20,000 taels of silver back to Jinyiwei's private treasury. He also sent people to make an appointment with the household department and the internal officials and supervisors to hand over the property in Wanfu.

Because of the 400,000 taels of folding, the number is too large, and Li Min, the head of the household, came in person.

Li Min is a virtuous minister, and last year he was promoted to the heavenly official of the household department, thanks to Huai'en's recommendation.

After Li Min saw Chang Feng, he disregarded etiquette and held Chang Feng's hand with both hands: "Chang Qianhu, you helped the household department solve a big problem!" ”

Whenever a new emperor ascends the throne, it has become a rule to exempt the world from buying people's hearts with money and grain.

Emperor Hongzhi also wanted to engage in universal exemption of money and grain. The household department is worried about the emptiness, and the general free money and food have no confidence.

I didn't expect to make a huge amount of money out of thin air.

Chang Feng knew that Li Min had a good relationship with Huaien, and Li Min also treated him as his own.

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "Li Butang rest assured." This is just the first stolen money that Jinyiwei handed over to the household department. In a few days, there will be a steady stream of money handed over to the household department. ”

Li Min said: "Wonderful! The emperor ascended the throne for the first time and clarified the rule of officials. The dirty wealth of those corrupt officials and officials should also be taken from the people for the people! ”

The official supervisor came to hand over the treasure, and it was Li Guang, who had the palm print.

It took Chang Feng a whole day to complete the handover of the huge amount of property with Li Min and Li Guang.

The first errand that Chang Feng received in the new dynasty was completed.

This errand is hardly difficult. The main reason is that the three brothers of the Wan family are too cooperative.

When Chang Feng was about to leave Wanfu, Shi Wenyi, who had just raised the general flag, walked in front of him.

Shi Wenyi said in a low voice: "Master Chang, I saw Gonggong Li put a big gem into the sleeve of his robe when he handed over it. ”

Chang Feng frowned, and said in his heart: Li Guang is the official supervisor in the hall, and he is about to enter the master of ceremonies as a penman, so he has done something too much, right?

Be greedy for a box of gems. What's the deal with stealing a piece? What's the difference with a thief on the street?

Li Guang is such a person who has no courage and is good at taking advantage of small advantages.

Chang Feng instructed Shi Wenyi: "Don't spread this matter." Just a gem. There is no need to let Jinyiwei and the internal officials and supervisors fall out. ”

It's twilight. Chang Feng, who has been busy all day, plans to go to Fuxingyuan to buy some sauce meat, and go home to have a good dinner with Xiaoyan and Tangtang. Then beat Xiaoyan hard and sleep beautifully.

As soon as he left the gate of Wanfu, he met Liu Jin.

Liu Jin arched his hand towards Chang Feng: "Chang Qianhu." Father-in-law Wynn invites your family to the house for dinner. ”

By taking advantage of the change of dynasty, not only did he rise to office. Liu Jin was also promoted from an eighth-class firefighter to a sixth-class book, and he was a sixth-class class.

Chang Feng said: "Cheng." I'm afraid that he will be too busy when he returns to Beijing. I haven't dared to go to the house yet. ”

"I'll go home to pick up the and my sister."

"Cheap" is a word that has been criticized by later generations of pastoral female boxers.

In fact, it is the lack of culture of pastoral female boxers. The meaning of the word "cheap" is not "my cheap wife".

"Cheap" refers to oneself, a kind of humility.

In the same way, the "clumsy" of clumsy Jing is also the humble name of ancient men.

Chang Feng returned home, picked up Liu Xiaoyan and Tangtang, and came to Huaien's outer house.

When Tangtang saw Huaien, she jumped directly into his arms: "Fat grandpa Fat grandpa, what is delicious to eat tonight?" ”

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Tangtang, don't be rude." ”

Wynne smiled, "It's okay. I've long thought of Sugar Candy as my own granddaughter! You will call me with Sugar Candy in the future, don't call me father-in-law. Call me grandpa. ”

Chang Feng's first reaction was: This old man took advantage of me.

After thinking about it: I recognize the Ming Dynasty, and I don't seem to have suffered any losses when I am the godmaster of the Beijing camp, the regimental camp, and the factory guard.

After all, this godmaster still has a certain status in the court.

Chang Feng hurriedly knelt down: "Grandpa, from today onwards, you will treat me as your own grandson!" My grandson will honor you in the future! ”

At the critical moment, Liu Xiaoyan, who is usually a bit of a tiger, did not drop the chain. She made a blessing gift: "The granddaughter-in-law Xiaoyan has seen grandpa." ”

Wynne's fat face smiled from ear to ear: "Good, good!" Liu Jin, the meal is ready. I'm going to have a drink with my grandchildren, granddaughters, and granddaughters-in-law. ”

The four of them entered the dining room and were just about to move the chopsticks, when Liu Jin said, "Father-in-law, Wan An asks to see you." ”

Wynne said, "It's just in time. I'm looking for him. Ladies were not allowed to eat at the same table with him. Liu Jin, you let the kitchen cook another table of dishes, and take Tangtang and Xiaoyan to eat in the garden pavilion. ”

Chang Feng also got up: "Grandpa, I will also retire." ”

Wynne waved his hand: "You don't have to go. Just stay here. ”
