Sure enough, after a while, a cough sounded, and Wu Wei of the Hubu Langzhong stepped out of the ranks and played loudly: "Last night, the prison of the Criminal Department was out of the water, and the prisoners escaped from prison, causing turmoil in the capital. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department. You can see that this is fighting back.

In the original history, Qiao Yunsheng was arrested and imprisoned because of this incident, and then sent to the frontier and died on the way.

The spearhead of this matter is pointed at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, which is a big case. The civil and military officials all looked at the emperor again, and they didn't know how it would fall? Judging from the previous killing of Luo and Yuan, it is estimated that Qiao Yunsheng will be in trouble this time.

Who knew that Hu Guang was not as good as they wanted, and only listened to him Chrysostom Yuding: "There are many suspicious points in this matter, and I have ordered Dongchang to investigate." ”

In fact, it is not that Hu Guang cares for Qiao Yunsheng very much, but that the case of the prison of the Criminal Department involved Gao Yingyuan and others, and even involved the matter of the Yongchang ticket number.

And the Yongchang ticket number is not only the industry of the Jin merchants, there are many relationships behind it, but also because Hu Guang is also interested in the prototype of the bank, is considering nationalizing the bill number, which will have a very great benefit to the Ming finance.

Therefore, before a series of things were determined, Hu Guang temporarily decided to hold this matter down.

After he made up his mind, he glanced at the civil and military officials below him, and asked loudly: "I am most concerned about how to fill the treasury, who else has a good plan, should there be only one way?" ”

The emperor didn't have any excuse, he said something urgent, and simply and straightforwardly pulled the topic back, but the courtiers had nothing to say.

Many of them began to look at each other again, or shook their heads and sent secret messages to their accomplices, and most of them wanted to mention the matter of the first assistant again.

At this moment, with a cough, a person walked out of the front of the civil official, bowed down and played: "The minister has this music!" ”

Hu Guang heard the sound and saw that it was Wen Tiren, and thought to himself, why did you stand up now, why do something, so that I have a reason to promote you!

However, when he saw Wen Tiren's tired face and red eyes, he suddenly remembered that he shouldn't have rested much last night, and was worrying about Gao Yingyuan's affairs, he couldn't help but have no complaints, and his voice became softer, no longer so cold to other courtiers: "Wen Qing has something to do!" ”

The civil and military officials are basically human spirits, and as soon as they heard the emperor's voice, they knew that the emperor had a good impression of Wen Tiren, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Wen Tiren bowed in response, and then said loudly: "The minister reads history, and occasionally gains something, and is very surprised by it, and now reports it to Your Majesty." ”

When they heard this, everyone was surprised. Doesn't Wen Tiren want to talk about fiscal and tax policies, how can it be related to reading history?

Hu Guang was also a little curious, but he was sure that Wen Tiren would definitely not take his topic away, so he had enough patience to nod and signal Wen Tiren to continue.

I only heard Wen Tiren play loudly: "The "History of the Song Dynasty Food and Goods" records: In the second year of Zhiping, the internal and external inflows were 116,138,405. It is a year old, and the accumulation of all roads is 16,292,993, and the Jingshi is not in advance. ”

In addition, Song Zenggong Zengzi has an inherent cloud: the world's annual income, Huangyou and Zhiping are more than 100 million, and the annual fee is also more than 100 million. Since ancient times, the country has never been richer. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Tiren bowed to the emperor and explained: "Although the income of the Song Dynasty is mixed, it is added up by the two stones. But the income of the court is much greater than that of our court. ”

Just before, Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, had already said that the annual income of the imperial court was less than 4 million taels. Therefore, Wen Tiren's remark immediately caused a sensation.

The sound of the whip sounded again, and it was not easy to silence the civil and military officials who were in turmoil.

Wen Tiren was already out of the way at this time, only to hear him preach again: "The territory and population of our dynasty are far larger than those of the former Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that the three degrees of salt, tea, and wine should also far exceed those of the Song Dynasty. But ......"

When he said this, he turned his head to look at the civil and military officials on both sides, and continued loudly: "The former Song Dynasty had three items of salt, tea, and wine, and the income reached 47.52 million yuan. And my dynasty, hehe, the salt tax is only about 2.5 million taels, and the tea tax is even less, only more than 10 taels, of which 17 taels in Yunnan and about 6 taels in Zhejiang. The wine is not ...... at all."

Suddenly, the civil and military officials exploded again, according to the etiquette system, before the dequeue, they had to cough in advance, but some civil officials couldn't wait to cough and rushed out of the ranks.

"The minister wants to impeach Wen Tiren, a thief, and disregard the ancestral ......"

"The minister also wants to be impeached, ignoring the harsh government and fierce tigers, and the thief is going to ......"

“……”

Noisyly, almost all of them can only listen to the beginning.

Wen Tiren was not afraid, but just looked at these colleagues coldly. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that when he said this, he was definitely offending his colleagues.

These things are unknown to others. However, no one else dared to say this. Let's just say that just now the head of the household department was strict with himself, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he denied all aspects of taxation, saying that this was not good, that was not good, and finally only set a way to increase the distribution.

If it had been before, Wen Tiren would not have dared to poke this hornet's nest. But now it's different, and since he's joined that inexplicable chat group, he's known that he's got one more hole card than his peers.

The most important thing is that Hu Guang has given him a high degree of trust and is ready to reuse him. Moreover, at the beginning of today's great court discussion, the emperor talked freely about the consequences of the lack of money in the imperial court in many aspects, showing a firm determination that the treasury must be filled in order to make the imperial court do more for the people.

Wen Tiren had been standing there silently before without speaking, just looking for an opportunity to make a splash. When everyone else is not in line with the emperor's wishes, he will naturally achieve his goal by saying these words in public.

At this time, he was already determined to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As Hu Guang said to him before, together with the Ming Dynasty, the name will be left in history.

As he expected, even if a group of ministers rose up to attack him, the emperor was always on his side. After the "pop" silent whip sounded again, and the scene was a little quieter, I saw Hu Guang stand up and say loudly: "There was a morning court meeting, and what Wen Qing said was deeply heartfelt. Others, etc., all learn from Wen Qing, do errands with heart, and do more practical things is serious! Message! ”

Speaking of this, Hu Guang was very satisfied, and immediately announced loudly: "Wen Tiren is the young master and the prince and the prince of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Jianjidian University Scholar has entered the cabinet to assist the government, and he is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Guang looked at the shocked look on the faces of many officials below, sneered in his heart, and threw out an even more shocking will: "In addition, the vacant seats of the cabinet auxiliary ministers are all recommended by Wen Qing to me, and I will be able to manage the affairs of the court with one heart and one mind, seek the well-being of hundreds of officials, and the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
