"Lord Zhao, what's the situation?"

The third master has already had the idea of accepting it when he sees it, which means that there is not much time left for Hongqing, and when it comes to such a field, Hongqing will not be in a hurry, that is, the city is deep, but he will not bring it to his face, but he has no intention of greeting him, after welcoming Zhao Shenqiao into the study, when the people can serve the newly brewed fragrant tea, Hongqing has already asked about the right thing.

"Back to the words of the prince, the day before yesterday, the household satin warehouse clerk Wailang Wuli bone said that this summer a total of six years of silk and silk cloth has been verified, it is true, it is the fourth master personally ordered, in addition, the pigment library, the lower official also checked by the way, sure enough, this summer to make up the amount of six years, as for whether there is something strange in it, it has yet to be confirmed, the lower official does not dare to say, in addition, the lower official also specially checked the account of the lower treasury, deducting the accumulated deficit of 18 million taels over the years, There are still 9,837,300 taels of silver in the treasury remaining, and there are still five provinces such as Fujian, Zhejiang, Liangguang and Hubei that have not been handed over in the summer of this year. ”

Zhao Shenqiao came to visit overnight, originally to report to Hongqing, and when he heard Hongqing's question, he didn't dare to delay it slightly, so he hurriedly bowed down and explained the results of the thorough investigation in detail.

"Well, this king wants to know how much the silk and silk cloth of the six years are worth? How much is the pigment worthwhile? Besides, what is the unpaid summer income of the five provinces? ”

What Zhao Shenqiao said was all about small affairs, at first glance, it seemed to be very ordinary, but Hongqing knew what was strange inside as soon as he heard it, and there was a burst of fire in his heart, but the city was deep, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just asked quietly.

"The prince Mingjian, six years of silk and silk cloth should be worth five million taels of silver, and six years of pigment is worth more than three million taels; The unpaid summer income of the five provinces was about 8.25 million taels. ”

Zhao Shenqiao dared to come to the ceremony, naturally he had already understood everything thoroughly, and when he answered Hongqing's question at this time, he was very neat.

Fucking fourth, playing with the master with such a hand, hey, good!

After listening to Zhao Shenqiao's report, although Hongqing's face was still calm, the anger in his heart was surging-when he was in the court, the fourth master only had more than 9 million taels of silver left in the inventory to talk about things, as if the treasury had really seen the bottom, but in fact, it was just that the fourth master was playing a trick of secretly changing the concept, and he really wanted to add the silver hidden in these places, and there should have been more than 25 million taels of real silver in the treasury, although it was not much, but it was obviously very different from the bottom of the treasury that the fourth master said. Not to mention that the fourth master is very likely to have other tricks and tricks elsewhere, in other words, although the war in the past year and a half has been extremely expensive, in terms of the treasury and even the annual income situation, it is enough to hold on for more than two years, and it will not be the time to increase the donation at all.

"Well, does Lord Zhao have anyone to recommend?"

Hongqing was as angry as he could in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure, and he didn't comment on Zhao Shenqiao's report, he just frowned, and then changed the topic.

"Xiaguan has a list here, and I invite the prince to take a look."

As soon as he heard Hongqing's question, Zhao Shenqiao's face immediately showed a smile, no side, over the years, Zhao Shenqiao can be said to have had enough of the fourth master's bird gas in the household department, and the result of several frictions with the fourth master was that he Zhao Shenqiao was deflated, even if the truth was obviously on his side, but he couldn't stand the fourth master is the elder brother of the management department, and there were many subordinates in the household department, Zhao Shenqiao didn't even have a place to reason in addition to being bullied in vain, and now Hongqing is planning to have a big blood change in the household department, how can Zhao Shenqiao not be happy, Since he had prepared the candidates for promotion early, he heard Hongqing's question at this time, and he didn't dare to delay it slightly, so he hurriedly shook his hand, took out a piece of paper with several lines of names written on it from his wide sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Hongqing.

"Well, the king of tomorrow will go to the household department, Lord Zhao and prepare first, don't be mistaken."

Hongqing stretched out his hand to take the list, swept it through the ten lines at a glance, and then did not return it to Zhao Shenqiao, as soon as he raised his hand, he had already put the list on the candlestick, and after igniting it, he shook his hand and let the burning paper flutter to the ground.

"Oh, the next official retires!"

Although Hongqing did not have a clear explanation, Zhao Shenqiao understood it, got up in a hurry, respectfully agreed, and then turned around, exited the study, and went home......

"Lord Yu, King Renjun is here."

In the office in the backyard of the household department, the fourth master sat behind the copywriter with a slight frown, holding a wolf pen, which seemed to be criticizing the fold, but in fact, the hand holding the pen was always hanging, and he was stunned for a long time, and his eyes were also fixed.

"Oh? Please! ”

The fourth master was thinking about what tricks Hongqing was playing, but he didn't expect Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, even if his heart sank, his brows suddenly wrinkled, but everyone had already arrived, and the fourth master was really hard to say, so he could only wave his hand impatiently and please.

"Wow!"

Hearing that the fourth master's voice was wrong, the commander of the guards didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly answered the promise loudly, and walked out of the office quickly.

"The little nephew has seen the fourth uncle."

Hongqing has always been the image of a humble gentleman in front of people, no, as soon as he saw the fourth master who got up and was ready to greet him, Hongqing immediately took a few steps, rushed forward, and saluted respectfully.

"Qing'er is here, sit, sit down and say, come on, serve tea!"

Although Hongqing's arrival was extremely unwelcome, the kung fu of the big face could not be lost, and the fourth master could only greet him with a dry smile.

"Fourth Uncle is polite."

Hongqing is here to find the ballast today, no matter how ugly the smile on the fourth master's face is, he replied with a smile, saying politely, but the person was not polite at all, and sat on the Taishi chair of the guest.

"Qing'er's errand should be almost done, right?"

The subordinates served the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then they each withdrew from the office, but Hongqing, who came in a hurry, was not in a hurry to speak at this time, sat still with a smile, and did not look at the face of the fourth master, and played with the tea bowl in his hand casually, as if the ordinary tea bowl was made of gold and jade.

"So that the fourth uncle can know that he does have eyebrows, but there are still some obstacles, and I am afraid that he will have to work for the fourth uncle to succeed."

Hearing the fourth master's question, the smile on Hongqing's face immediately became a little more playful, and he casually put the tea bowl he was playing with on a few pieces, clapped his hands, and gave a meaningful answer.

"Oh?"

Hearing what Hongqing said, the fourth master's heartstrings immediately tightened, and he refused to answer easily, but just spoke softly and noncommittally.

"Huh."

The fourth master didn't ask, Hongqing didn't say it, he was already invincible now, so there was no need to worry, it was not good to knock on the fourth master's bamboo pole again, and this matter would never be finished.

"Qing'er and sit down for a while, for Uncle suddenly woke up and there are still some things to do, so I have to go on a trip quickly, and come back and talk to my nephew, okay?"

As soon as Hongqing's unclear laughter came out, the fourth master was a little unstable, and the ominous premonition in his heart surged up, and he didn't want to talk to Hongqing at this time, so he laughed dryly, and found a far-fetched reason, so he planned to avoid one or two for the time being.

"Satin Library? Hey, Cheng, the fourth uncle just goes, the little nephew just happened to wake up something, and it has something to do with the satin store, so he will go to the palace. ”

The fourth master wanted to slip away, but Hongqing was willing to let it go, but when he heard him snort, he followed the fourth master's words and said something full of threats.

"Huh? Where did the virtuous nephew start with this, and how did Uncle Wei get more confused the more he listened? ”

Hearing Hongqing's words were not good, the fourth master's desire to leave suddenly went out, his brows furrowed, and he asked with displeasure.

"Hehe, the fourth uncle is confused on the surface, but I'm afraid he knows it very well in his heart."

No matter how tightly the fourth master's brows wrinkled, Hongqing was unmoved, smiled coldly, and ridiculed the fourth master without any scruples.

"Humph! What do you mean by this, make it clear to this king! ”

The fourth master has never been a good-tempered person, but at this time, he was bullied to the door by Hongqing with such a nose and face, and he immediately became angry, his face was flat, and he scolded him violently.

"The fourth uncle wants to hear it, and the little nephew naturally has to say, hey, as far as the little nephew knows, the satin library has entered four years of silk and silk cloth this summer, and the pigment library has also entered four times the amount of previous years, I don't know if the fourth uncle can explain this?"

Hongqing didn't care about the fourth master's black face and scolding at all, shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and said coldly.

"That's it?"

The fourth master is a scheming person, when he was planning to pit Hongqing, he had already thought of a way to withdraw and retreat, and when he heard Hongqing ask, he was not panicked, and asked in a cold voice.

"There are a lot of things, and after all, they have to be cleared up, and if you think the fourth uncle will have someone to teach me."

Hongqing dared to come to ask for the crime, so he was categorically not afraid of the fourth master's quibble, even if he made a frank and selfless appearance, Hongqing didn't think so, but he didn't rush to get angry, just shrugged his shoulders and answered a sentence without revealing it.
