After that day, calm returned to the palace, as if nothing had happened. Maybe the people behind it seem to have given up and didn't make any more moves against the Guogong Mansion. Or maybe the person behind it is hidden, secretly and silently incubating a more powerful queen. Jia Yu is more inclined to the latter, since the person behind him has made a move, he will never let go until he has achieved his goal, where will he suddenly stop.

As for not striking again, there is only one reason, they are brewing a more terrible conspiracy, and the fists they have withdrawn are only for a more aggressive attack. This time Jia Yu has no clue who is the main hand behind the scenes, and can only guess who the enemy is, so it can be said that Jia Yu has completely fallen into the upper hand in this confrontation. The next time they make another move, it's even harder to resist.

However, Jia Yu has no time to deal with the affairs of the Guogong Mansion now, he still has an official position, and he still has his responsibilities. He has promised to do what he has to do, and it is not an easy task to educate the general public. What's more, this is a violation of the taboo of the family, and the family can influence the court to a certain extent because most of the court officials are from the family, and only a few are from the poor family.

The reason for this is because the Maison has the key to officialdom - knowledge.

Perhaps the people now have gotten rid of the predicament of being full and hungry, and they have a little surplus money in their bags, but this little money is far from enough if it is used for learning. Not to mention the bundles of silk for the master, the pen and ink used in daily life, the paper used for writing, and the books used for reading, all these combined costs built a high wall between the common people and the intellectuals. If the people do not have enough money, they will not be able to cross it at all.

This wall is erected by the family, and the study is regarded as a high thing, and the importance of learning is promoted. Let the scholars become the superior people, and the other illiterate people are the inferior people, so that the people admire and make the people dare not resist the rule of the scholars.

Then he controlled the flow of books, so that the number of books was always in short supply, resulting in the situation that Luoyang paper was expensive, and he made a lot of money from it, so that how many talented readers stopped, and only let a few poor people step into the threshold of reading, and then grace them into the door, why not count them in one fell swoop.

Therefore, what Jia Yu is doing now is exactly what the family does not want to happen, and there was Zhang Xiang in the past who was torn between the saint and the family, so that the two were in a very delicate balance. But now that Zhang Xiang is gone, this balance has been broken, although he doesn't dare to resist the saint on the surface, but there are more actions in private.

"Isn't the tax just recovered, how can the household department have no silver?" Shengshan asked strangely, he also thought that this year's tax revenue was more than in previous years, and his hand should be looser, so he wanted to allocate some money to Jia Yu to let him run a few more township schools, who knew that the household department Shangshu told him that the silver two had already been over.

"Qiqi Shengshang, the foreign tribes in the northern frontier are about to invade again, and most of the silver has been transferred to the military department for military pay, and the silver of the household department can only cope with the winter relief, and there is really no extra silver taels. Tobe Shangshu said again.

"Tell me the truth, how many taels of silver do you have in the household?" The saint was very dissatisfied with this answer, and could only deal with disaster relief, so what should he do after the spring?

"On the Holy Gift, there are less than 200,000 taels in the account. Tobe Shangshu said with low eyebrows.

"How can this be? I remember that after deducting the military salary from the tax this year, there should be almost a million taels left, how can there be less than 200,000 taels left?" The saint was also taken aback, and the difference between the number in his memory was 800,000 taels.

Hubu Shangshu didn't dare to answer, he had seen the ruthlessness of the saint.

"I haven't explained it to me yet!" the cold voice of the saint came from his head, and Tobe Shangshu cried and mourned, knowing that he couldn't hide.

"The Holy Enlightenment has lent it to the officials of various ministries. ”

It turned out that the family saw that there was a surplus of silver in the treasury today, and knew that the saint would definitely use the silver to run the school, and after secretly discussing it, they decided to take the silver away openly. You borrowed a few hundred, I borrowed a few thousand, and 800,000 taels were borrowed.

The saint was stunned, obviously not expecting to get such an answer, he wanted to punch in the air.

If the official is greedy, he can dispose of the official. If it is misappropriated, it can be recovered. But if you lend it out, it's not easy.

This is a bad habit left over from the beginning of the dynasty, when the dynasty first opened, because the imperial court was still at war with foreign people, and the military salary was urgent, so many times the officials' salaries could not be given all. There is nothing for an official with a good family background, but his family background is almost miserable, so he can only borrow from the household department with a cheeky face. The household department can't give all the officials a salary, but there is still no problem with individual words, so this problem is temporarily solved.

Later, when the treasury was full, Taizu was very satisfied and grateful for the support of the officials, so he passed down the holy decree that if the officials had problems in the future, they could borrow money from the household department without interest.

This is passed down from generation to generation, and the gift begins to take a turn for the worse. Some officials borrowed silver taels from the household department, and then lent them out again to earn the profits. Some simply borrow to do business, and they don't have to pay any interest anyway.

Every saint in power knows about these things, but this is the holy oracle left by Taizu, and they can't do anything, anyway, the officials will return the money later, so they all turn a blind eye.

The cold air on Shengshang's body was soaring, and he didn't feel tight, so he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground.

The "Ping Pong" teacup burst in response, and Tobe Shangshu immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The saint is angry, the saint is angry!"

"What's the matter, can't I even be angry? shouldn't I be glad that they still left 200,000 taels for me to help the disaster!" the saint still asked in a cold voice, the head of the household was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, the saint slowly felt bored, even if he lost his temper with the head of the family, the silver two would not change back.

"Get up and speak. "The saint is not good, this household is not a choice, so many candidates, he is not a person from a family, he has the ability, but he is a little softer.

"Tell me if there's any way to get the money back. The saint asked.

"The minister couldn't think of anything to do in a short time. "Hubu Shangshu is very embarrassed, but the saint understands what he is thinking, even if he has a way, he doesn't dare to say it, for fear of offending the family.

"Alright, stand down. The saint was also excited, looking at the Hubu Shangshu who left, and I don't know why I remembered Jia Yu, the guy who once gave him a plan to calculate the family.
