Chapter 14: Three Lotus Lotus Floating Blue Ponds
"On the books of the royal palace, a total of forty-three thousand eight hundred taels of silver are missing."
"Most of them were taken away by Li Sheren, and the remaining more than 3,000 taels of silver are missing."
Three lotus lotus floating pools!
was born and died, and got 50,000 taels of silver from Zhao Meiniang.
This Feng Cong colluded with Li Zhuo, and he hacked himself by more than 40,000 taels!
Ji Lie's face sank, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes,
"Feng Chong, what do you have to say now?"
"Lord Wang, is it...... It's the subordinates who are wrong......"
Feng Chong's face turned pale in an instant, and he fell to the ground with a "plop" and begged Ji Lie for mercy.
As the bookkeeper of the palace, he was greedy for 3,000 taels of silver, which was enough for him to be exiled for 3,000 li.
Not to mention helping Li Zhuo to covet tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Mo Palace, it was a crime to be beheaded!
"Your Highness, we can't spare him!"
Thinking of how hard Ji Lie had been before, and Li Zhuo and Feng Chong were full of corruption, Xiu'er's little face was swollen with anger.
Ji Lie pondered for a moment and said coldly,
"It's not impossible to spare your life, but there are three requirements."
"First, you have to spit out all the embezzled money!"
"Second, you have to admit your mistakes in front of everyone in the palace."
"Third, from now on, you don't have to bear the account man, and honestly feed the pigs to the orphans!"
When Feng Chong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment,
"Lord Wang, there are no pigs in our house to feed......"
"Can't you raise no pigs?"
Ji Lie glared at Feng Chong.
Feng Chong was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly nodded honestly,
"Subordinate...... Command! ”
Although Feng Chong was quite unwilling in his heart, the most important thing at the moment was to save his life first.
"Excellent! Laifu, go and call everyone in the palace! ”
Ji Lie commanded.
After a while, including the grooms, the housekeepers, the handymen, and the guards, the whole palace gathered outside the courtyard of the lobby.
Looking at Ji Lie, who was sitting there leisurely, and Feng Chong, who was standing on the side with a gloomy expression, everyone was at a loss.
"Mr. Feng, what are you still doing?"
Ji Lie frowned and scolded.
Feng Chong had no choice but to walk honestly in front of everyone.
"As the bookkeeper of the palace, I colluded with Li Zhuo, a housekeeper, and coveted the money of the palace, which is really a crime that deserves death!"
"Fortunately, the prince is kind-hearted and lenient with me."
"Just arranged for me...... I went to raise pigs, as punishment. ”
"I hope you will take me as a lesson, don't disobey the prince and violate the laws of the palace!"
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.
When Li Zhuo was in charge of the palace, Feng Chong, as his confidant, was an out-and-out No. 2 person.
However, at the moment, one of these two died violently, and the other was sent to feed the pigs.
Some smart people have already reacted, and in the future, this palace, I'm afraid Ji Lie will have the final say!
"It's best if Mr. Feng can realize his mistake in time."
Ji Lie slowly stood up, his eagle-like sharp gaze looked around at everyone present,
"If anyone dares to cross the line again in the future, don't blame the lonely and merciless!"
"We will remember the king's orders!"
Everyone didn't dare to look at Ji Lie, they lowered their heads and said in unison.
"Alright, let's all disperse!"
Ji Lie waved his hand and said casually.
Feng Chonggang was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Lie again,
"Mr. Feng, wait a minute!"
Could it be that Ji Lie doesn't plan to let himself go?
Feng Chong's heart sank, and he said stubbornly,
"Does the prince have any orders?"
"I have a copy of the sow's postpartum care in my lonely hand, you remember to come and get it tomorrow!"
Ji Lie commanded.
"Okay, subordinate...... Remembered. ”
Feng Chongqiang said with a smile.
After everyone left, Zhang Changde stepped forward and respectfully saluted Ji Lie,
"I've seen the prince!"
"Commander Zhang, how are things going?"
Ji Lie smiled.
"Back to the prince, things are going well, and after a round in the city, my subordinates have recruited a lot of homeless people."
Don't look at the Great Xia Dynasty, the singing and dancing of the faction, but the situation of land annexation is already extremely serious.
Most of the people at the bottom are in dire straits.
When Ji Lie went out before, he saw a lot of people on the street who were selling their heads.
Therefore, Zhang Changde found a lot of suitable people without much effort.
"In order to make it easier to control these people, the people selected by the subordinates are not only healthy, but also drag their families with them."
Zhang Changde said in a low voice.
"Commander Zhang is really well-intentioned!"
Ji Lie nodded in approval.
In this way, the men act as guards.
And their family members can not only be hostages, but also cultivate tuntian, reducing the financial pressure on the palace.
It's a win-win!
"By the way, I don't know if the prince gathered the whole palace, but what happened to the important thing?"
Zhang Changde said with some doubts.
"It's not a big deal."
Ji Lie said, and told Zhang Changde about finding out that Feng Chong was corrupt.
Previously, Feng Chong relied on Li Zhuo's support, and he usually didn't take Zhang Changde in his eyes.
Hearing that he embezzled three thousand taels, Zhang Changde couldn't help but scold,
"This bastard Feng Chong is really the same as Li Zhuo! Lord Wang, why didn't you just kill him? ”
"If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing, leave him alive for the time being."
What is most important in the 21st century?
Talent!
What was most important in ancient society?
It's also talent!
At that time, Xiu'er was the female official who managed the maid of the prince's East Palace, and was arranged by Ji Lie's side, so she received enlightenment.
Before Lai Fu entered the palace, he read books for a while with Mr. Private School.
That's why he was arranged to procure the supplies needed for the palace.
In addition to the two of them, the only people in the palace who can read and write are Zhang Changde, Feng Chong, and Li Zhuo, who is three inches tall in the grave.
At the moment, there are not many people who can use Ji Lie, and he plans to let Feng Chong suffer a little first, knowing how powerful he is.
If Feng Chongken changed his mind and sincerely surrendered in the future, Ji Lie would not fail to give him a chance.
Ji Lie doesn't mind that his subordinates are greedy for money, what he minds is that he is greedy and not cured, and he doesn't want Fez for money!
"Lord Wang, the fields in the palace are gone, how should the newly recruited displaced people be resettled?"
Zhang Changde frowned.
"This matter is self-contained, Commander Zhang doesn't have to worry, you just continue to recruit people."
The remaining silver in Ji Lie's hand, although it was only enough to buy dozens of acres of land.
But Zhao Meiniang and Yang Dehou are both tied to their waists.
Even if you can't pull your face, it's a big deal to invent something new to make money, and you still can't get the field?
"Oh, my subordinates will receive orders."
Zhang Changde arched his hand, and then retreated.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these account books?"
Xiu'er pointed to the account books piled up on the desk and asked Ji Lie for instructions.
Ji Lie thought about it, then smiled,
"From now on, Xiu'er, you will be in charge of the accounts of the palace!"
