Inside the Temple of Manna.

The monarch sat down around the stove and exchanged a few pleasantries, and Li Er asked bluntly: "Xuan Ling, I saw that your face was strange before, but something happened?" It's just you and me here, so you might as well say it if you have something to say. ”

"Shengshang, the minister originally wanted to reopen the Supervision Mansion, recommend the King of Han to track down the salt tax, and then use the salt tax as a guarantee, and find the King of Han to borrow some silver to come over and distribute the money, the salt tax is more than two million guan, and the mortgage of one hundred thousand guan must not be a big problem, but I didn't expect the eldest grandson to suddenly jump out, since the holy mouth has been opened, it is difficult to recover, so I can only find a way."

When Li Er heard this, he immediately regretted it, and said with a wry smile: "I thought that Wuji wanted to seek a meritorious opportunity for his son and eldest grandson, but I didn't think too much about it, so I agreed, but it's a pity, it's a pity, but there is another way?" If you can't come up with an idea today, I'm afraid the officials will be in a hurry. ”

"Did the Holy Lord ever wonder why Lord Tang brought up such a sensitive matter at the court meeting?" Fang Xuanling asked rhetorically.

Li Er's face was stunned, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Fang Xuanling knew Li Er too well, and continued: "Also, why did Lord Eldest Sun suddenly jump out? ”

"You mean the two of them?" Li Er's words didn't come out.

But the monarch and the ministers have been too familiar with each other for decades, too tacit understanding, Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "The emptiness of the treasury is a sensitive matter, and it should not have been publicly proposed at the court meeting. ”

"What do you want to say?" Li Er's tone became low.

Fang Xuanling reminded: "Lord Tang is a person from Jinyang, and he belongs to Hedong Road. ”

Li Er is so shrewd and spicy, he understands as soon as he hears it, Tang Jian is using his power for personal gain, and he is silent in thought.

Fang Xuanling didn't say a word.

A depressing aura pervaded.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and after a while, Li Er said: "There is a way to borrow some silver from King Han, no matter what, send it down first, so that everyone can spend New Year's Day with peace of mind." ”

"King Han should have silver, but the question is how to open this mouth? Last time, the king of Han proposed that he had not received Yulu for nearly two years, and the matter has not yet been resolved, and the court may not be able to borrow silver without an explanation. Fang Xuanling reminded.

"It's a huge court, and it can't even send out a fortune, what the hell is going on? In previous years, the imperial court was also in difficulty, but there had never been a similar thing, why this year? You said! Li Er's face was full of anger.

Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile: "Shengshang, it's not that the people don't pay taxes, but they are deducted layer by layer, greedy for ink, and even many places don't pay taxes under the pretense of floods, chaos and other reasons, and deduct the people's taxes and fill their pockets, but if they go to check, they will say that they are all intended for disaster relief, and the accounts are clear and inorganic." ”

"Bastards, they should be killed!"

Li Er scolded for a while, especially unrelieved of his hatred, and asked, "Is there a way?" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "Filling private pockets has existed since ancient times, the difference is just how much is deducted, this year there are floods, troubles, rebellions, plus the rebellion in Tibet, there are excuses in various places, and the problem cannot be solved by investigation, but it will make the situation unstable, the court can only open one eye, close one eye, tide over the difficulties first, and talk about it later."

"I know that, but I have to solve the problem today." Li Er looked embarrassed.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "Or, the Holy Upper Open Inner Library?" ”

Copied the two major families of Zhaojun Li and Fan Yang Lu, there is actually a lot of silver in the inner library, but Li Er has been poor for too long, and every time he thinks of the queen who took the lead in reducing food and clothing, reducing expenses, his heart is like a knife, and now he finally has silver, and he wants to make good use of this silver to repair the harem and improve his life.

Several palaces are leaking wind and rain.

The life of the harem is not as good as that of ordinary people's families, what is this called?

But the court can't be chaotic, and the hundred officials can't go unpaid, Li Er hesitated for a while, and said with a painful face: "Then advance a sum of silver from the inner treasury first, tide over the difficulties, and then talk about it, and wait for the salt tax to be found and I can make up for it." ”

"Minister, thank the saint for the hundred officials." Fang Xuanling said solemnly.

After chatting about the affairs of the DPRK and China for a while, Li Er suddenly changed his words and asked: "I heard that the department store is jointly built by the Shandong clan and the Jiangnan clan, and recently it has been sold at a low price, attracting many people to patronize. ”

"The minister is also puzzled, and he can't guess the deep meaning!" Fang Xuanling said cautiously.

"Then check it carefully, you dare to calculate the right to sell salt in Hedong and Henan, and you have to guard against it." Li Er said in a deep voice.

"Obey the order!"

Fang Xuanling got up as he said and left in a hurry.

Li Er watched Fang Xuanling leave, motionless, and silent.

Gradually, Li Erxin had a guess, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he shouted: "Someone! ”

Wang De hurriedly came in and bowed.

"Deliver an edict, order the Imperial Historical Observatory to thoroughly investigate the household department and not give the King of Han a single edict, and tell Lord Wei that I will only give him two days, and there must be results within two days, and it will never be allowed to be delayed until the next year."

Two days later was New Year's Day, and the reason why Li Er asked for two days was not to find out his conscience, nor to curry favor with Qin Huaidao, but to use this matter to knock the household department and Tang Jian.

"Yes!" Wang De bowed and retreated.

……

Qin Huaidao didn't know Li Er's thoughts, he was summoning Zhao Shuwen in the study, Xue Rengui went to Hanzhou and the end, almost all the affairs of the industrial city were pressed on Zhao Shuwen, after coming back, Qin Huaidao checked the accounts, and secretly understood, this Zhao Shuwen may not be able to open up, but it is no problem to keep it up, and the industrial city will be operated in an orderly manner.

After some talking, Qin Huaidao said bluntly: "Zhao Shuwen, Brother Xue has other arrangements, the Industrial City will depend on you in the future, and now this king has officially appointed you as the head of the Industrial City, and the general manager of all affairs in the Industrial City." ”

"King Xie Han trusts, and his subordinates will do their best to repay the emergency." Zhao Shuwen was overjoyed in his heart, this is an honor, a power, and a precious trust.

As a former county magistrate, Zhao Shuwen knows too well the importance of Shangguan's trust.

With this trust, Zhao Shuwen has the confidence to become a true confidant among Qin Huaidao's inner circle.

Qin Huaidao didn't think much about it, but the amount was for use, and he did not doubt the use of people, and advised: "Starting from tomorrow, everyone in the industrial city will have a ten-day holiday, and today we must do a good job in tool maintenance, do a good job of hygiene, put the goods neatly, and then arrange the internal guards to take turns on duty to prevent fire and theft." ”

"No problem, it's just ...... Will it be too long? If you don't work, you won't be profitable, and I'm afraid everyone will be in a hurry. Zhao Shuwen raised concerns in his heart.

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, in addition to the remuneration, benefits, and bonuses that should be there, everyone will be issued with a consistent silver voucher as New Year's Day silver, so that everyone can have a good New Year's Day." ”

Give red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, and be more active in the coming year!

This routine Qin Huaidao is too familiar, one person is consistent, and the number of people who follow Qinjiazhuang to live is close to 20,000, that is, 20,000, which is quite a lot.

But Qin Huaidao believes that if this silver is issued, it can be recognized and loyal by everyone, and he will work harder in the coming year, not to mention that what is issued is only a voucher, although it is equivalent to silver, but it will help the voucher to be promoted, and the popularization is not?

The more vouchers the people have, the more inseparable they are from Qinjiazhuang.

Zhao Shuwen didn't think about it so much, but he knew that if he issued more consistent silver, he could make it rare for a family to eat white noodles, cut some meat, buy a few pieces of cloth, and have a good year.

I couldn't help but think of Zhaojia Village in the past, although I took care of myself, but many people were poor and couldn't eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes, and then looked at the present, it was heaven and hell, so he couldn't help but get up and solemnly said: "King Xie Han's grace, this consistent silver can survive for many people!" ”

"How are the people of Zhaojia Village doing?" Qin Huaidao asked with some surprise.

"The blessing of King Han, everyone's blue brick house, it is simply heaven, Zhaojia Village is extremely grateful for the kindness of King Han, every family erects the King of Han's immortal card, if the people of Zhaojia Village have a place to live against King Han, I implore King Han to speak out, expelled from Qinjiazhuang at the lightest, and no forgiveness will be killed at worst, this rule has been written into the family rules, and everyone is self-encouraged."

"No, it's not that serious, everyone is fine, keep to themselves, work with peace of mind, and this king is not an unreasonable person." Qin Huaidao sneered and added: "Since Zhaojiacun has been merged into Qinjiazhuang, they are all their own people, and this king has only one idea, to have more children, and we still have too few of our own people." ”

"King Xie Han trusts, and when he goes back, he will discuss with the clan elders to let everyone have more children."

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "Don't be reluctant, just volunteer, however, you must also know about the affairs of Hanzhou, the future will definitely expand to the west, there are not many people who can be trusted by this king, Qinjiazhuang is the foundation of this king, you are all the most trusted and trustworthy people of this king, okay, go get busy." ”

Zhao Shuwen gratefully shook again, turned away, his eyes moist and firm.
