The so-called gold and silver is carved out of the grain tax separately for the palace, and the increase in gold and silver is composed of the commercial tax income of Tianjin Wei, sent to the palace, and accepted by the imperial horse supervisor, which has become the rule of the past few years.

Tianjin Wei's gold and silver are sent to the palace every year for a fixed amount of 1,250,000 taels, and it is just a habit to send it once a month.
Chen Ge's shouting words there, in the ears of the eunuchs, are more like a reason to find in a hurry, Taizu and Chengzu The two emperors are very virtuous, and the courtiers dare not say anything, but later, whenever the palace wants to get more silver, the civil officials always do not give up.
If you want to say that when tax supervisors and mine supervisors are sent everywhere in the world to loot, many of them are just normal revenues and expenditures, and there are many people who have been admonished and sarcastic one after another. Wang Tong handed over the gold and silver of the eleventh year of Wanli at one time this time, and was blocked by these civil officials at the city gate, presumably the same as before, and he couldn't see the silver entering the palace.
The eunuchs who came out to receive the silver all thought so, and they all had angry looks on their faces, and Xu Jun, who was sent out by the imperial horse supervisor to take the silver, was a little organized, and after scolding, he opened his mouth again and said:
"Lord Wang, it's not early, since the prisoner who deceived the king has been caught, it is better to park the silver car with the little ones first, and we will make the delivery tomorrow, the adults have worked hard all the way, and they will rest early."
Wang Tong nodded, Xu Jun hurriedly greeted, and the people accompanying him also followed the horse, and after walking two steps, Xu Jun turned around again, rode his horse to Wang Tong, and said in a low voice:
"I'm afraid that this kind of civil official is not aimed at the Lord Long Sui, but your Excellency, just by the testimony of your subordinates, it may not be justified, the people along the road and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, I'm afraid they will also have to bring a few back as witnesses."
There are many smart people in the world, Xu Jun is also interesting, Wang Tong nodded with a smile, turned around and called Chen Dahe to inform, Chen Dahe was depressed for a long time when he entered the door, Fang Cai was relieved a lot, and immediately agreed loudly when he heard the order, and the convoy continued to move forward without delay. Wang Tong's guards and "domestic servants" on horseback scattered in all directions, arresting dozens of people along the road, and the rest of the people who dared to watch the excitement here were all scattered in a hurry.
The officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division guarding the gate here were just watching the play, and when they saw that things had come to this point, they felt a little bad, and looked at Wang Tong's men coming over violently, so they panicked, they also had knives and guns in their hands, but Wang Tong rode a horse condescendingly, and the solemn appearance of advancing and retreating was not something they could compare, and a general flag dressed there shouted:
"Lord Wang, everyone is a soldier of the imperial court, are you doing this, do you want to be angry?"
This person can buckle his hat, and as soon as he shouted, Chen Ge and his cadres, who were staggering and being dragged away, also shouted:
"Even if we are wrong, we will be punished, Lord Wang, you have no right to govern, you ...... do this?"
"Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, slandering His Majesty, bullying the king, born in front of this official, this official naturally has the right to govern, the Soldiers and Horses Division has personally experienced this matter, and a few people have entered the city with the official to testify, and the official does not want to be angry, but if you start to do it, it must be your Soldiers and Horses Division ugly!"
The words were quite hard, but the officers and soldiers of the Terracotta Division had nothing to say, and the soldiers under Wang Tong were not good-tempered, so they went directly to reach out and pull, although the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were soft, but they were also a little tempered for a while, and some people scolded and drew out their knives.
Wang Tong caught a glimpse of this person drawing a knife on the horse, and immediately became furious, before he could speak, Chen Dahe beside him had already opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow was shot, with a swish, and the arrow was nailed between the legs of the person who drew the knife with great accuracy.
The man was still shouting, but suddenly he was nailed in front of him by an arrow, and the whole person was stunned, and his companions around him were busy retreating, and the man reacted, screamed, couldn't hold the knife in his hand, and sat directly on the ground.
"It's like this kind of straw bale, what kind of fire is there to talk about with this official, don't talk nonsense, hand over people quickly!"
With such a, Wang Tong sneered and said contemptuously to the general banner.
ā¦ā¦
Everything settled down in the city, it was already dark, although Wang Tong had stayed in Tianjin Wei for a few years, he didn't need to stay in the guest house in Beijing, it turned out that there was a house on the other side of South Street.
When he passed, Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan had been waiting for a long time, and the banquet was simple, but it was also a few small dishes carefully prepared by the chef on the side of the Zhenxing Building.
Ma Sanbiao and Tan Jiang also came, Ma Sanbiao and Wang announced a vacation, first went back to their house to clean up, Tan Jiang was waiting here, opened the heavy quilt curtain, the house was as warm as spring, seeing him come in, Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan both stood up, hugged their fists to greet, and with them, Wang Tong also felt relaxed in his heart, and said with a smile:
"It's all my own family, I don't have to be so polite, I've been in Tianjin Wei for a long time, and I feel dry as soon as I enter the Beijing Division, and I'm really not used to it."
Lu Wancai was holding the folding fan in his hand at all times, and when he heard Wang Tong's words, he said jokingly:
"If Lord Wang goes to Tianjin Wei in the future, I'm afraid he won't be used to the humidity over there."
This is auspicious, everyone laughs, Li Wenyuan was originally silent, and now although he is a thousand households of Jinyiwei, Wang Tong is already the commander of Jinyiwei, and he is considered to be in charge, and he is somewhat respectful.
After taking a seat, Wang Tong instructed the general to go to rest and arrange, the three of them sat around a table, began to push the cup and change the lamp, and when the general came out of the room, Li Wenyuan said in a deep voice:
"The prisoners caught by the adults from outside the city are now all in the court with the Department of Public Security, and the confessions drawn by the prisoners have come out, but there are many officials involved in this matter, and there must be thirty officials from the six ministries and the imperial history and Qingliu officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is afraid of trouble."
"There's no trouble, since they scolded the gold and silver for being the people's fat and the people's ointment, and the people's blood and tears, they are slandering the king, and how to judge it when the time comes, it depends on how Your Majesty decides."
Wang Tong said easily, Li Wenyuan nodded and said no more, Lu Wancai shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile:
"Brother Wang gave these Qingliu a dismount this time, after this time, no matter what Brother Wang does, what those Qingliu scholars want to do, I'm afraid they have to weigh one or two, and they don't dare to act so rashly."
"Originally, this silver was sent to the palace after entering Beijing, but it was not in the name of gold and silver, when I arrived in Tongzhou, I saw so many watchers along the road, and when I asked about the background, I sent them to say hello first when they entered the city, and now the imperial horse supervisor is Zou Yi in charge, and His Majesty will not be more serious in such a thing, so he naturally changed his name."
Hearing Wang Tong's answer, Lu Wancai laughed, the folding fan kept tapping his palm, and said:
"Those gossip officials wanted to give you a dismissal, but they didn't expect to be given a dismissal by you, it's really nice to think about it.
The three of them raised their glasses again, the cup was rice wine, and everyone drank it in moderation, and after a few words of laughter, Lu Wan put the folding fan on the table and said with some concern:
"Brother Wang, it is those officials who eat Liao outside the city, but it is Your Majesty who is scolded, and Your Majesty will not be happy for such a thing."
Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"Today's matter, I'm afraid that Your Majesty is not happy about this scolding, I have already planned this, don't worry!"
Hearing Wang Tong say this, Lu Wancai did not seek the root cause of this issue, but Li Wenyuan was silent for a while, and then said:
"My lord, this silver is counted as gold and silver, so should you still give the silver that was originally going to be given to the palace?"
"Naturally, I have already instructed someone to return to Tianjin to transfer silver taels."
Li Wenyuan hesitated again, lowered his voice and said:
"The silver taels in the palace, the subordinates shouldn't say anything, but more than two million taels are sent back and forth, will our Tianjin Wei hurt the vitality?"
Wang Tong was stunned, then took a sip of the wine glass, and said:
"Who doesn't know Tianjin Weijin Mountain Yinhai, we send this amount into the palace every year, sooner or later someone will be too little, rather than let the palace put forward to add money, it is better for us to take the initiative to set a quota first, it can be regarded as control, this time the number is used for other purposes, not a constant in the future."
Hearing this umbrella, Li Wenyuan was a little relieved, Wang Tong smiled, drank the wine in the cup and said:
"Even if it's a quota of two million taels a year, it's nothing, everyone just knows Tianjin Weijinzhi, Yinhai, how high the mountain is, how deep the sea is, but they don't know, don't worry!"
Wang Tong's face was full of pride and confidence.
ā¦ā¦
The Dongzhi Gate of the capital is full of scholars and clear streams, and there are people watching, and there is such a conflict, such a thing The Public Security Department naturally has a report, and similarly, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Shuntianfu each have a document to deliver to the palace.
Now that the Wanli Emperor has a monopoly on power, such newspapers are gathered from all over his book.
There are several palace lamps hanging in the house, which are unusually bright, which is still mentioned by Wang Tong in the correspondence, saying that if it is dark at night, it is easy to hurt the eyes, and the imperial study has changed this regulation.
Zhao Jinliang stood at the bottom of his hand, but he wondered if he was looking for a chance to leave the palace once, and he was very excited to see Wang Tong who entered Beijing.
The more Emperor Li, who was reading the report, looked darker and darker, and Zhang Cheng behind him also looked cautious, and at the end, Emperor Wanli threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, and said coldly:
"This is not for Wang Tong, this is for the widow, there is no big Zhang, there is no small Zhang, the widow thinks that the officials know who is the lord of the world, but they are still self-contained, the widow transfers his own people into Beijing, they can't tolerate it, Zhang Companion, he ordered to go down, he must be strictly investigated, see who is behind the scenes, and see who is so lawless!!"
