Chapter 228

"Prepare the horse! I want to go to Taicang in person!"

Han Wen took the tax book, glanced at it for a few times, then quickly walked out of the palace, and the yamen runners were waiting outside the Meridian Gate with a horse.

The national treasury is divided into Taicang warehouse and Ten Inner Palace treasury.

The Taicang warehouse is divided into Jing warehouse, Tongzhou warehouse and each water warehouse, and it stores rice and grain.

Among the ten treasuries of the inner palace, only the inner transportation warehouse stores gold and silver.

The gold, flowers, silver and mineral tax collected from various places will be stored in this warehouse.

What Han Wen wanted to go to was Jingkang. When the Ministry of Revenue and the Cabinet agreed, they decided to set a system, and the silver from the tax revenue of the new merchants was stored in the Taicang warehouse.

Taicang,

Hou Xun, a member of the Ministry of Revenue, is patrolling the warehouses. In the past few days, the commercial taxes of each government have been transported to the capital.

At first, when counting the commercial taxes paid by Shuntian Prefecture, Hou Xun was still shocked and collected more than 200,000 taels of tax silver.

After the inventory was completed, the tax book was quickly sent to the Ministry of Revenue to settle the annual collection.

Subsequently, various governments transported tax silver one after another, and Hou Xun was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

"Sir, Lord Shangshu is here!"

"Mr. Han is here? Where are you? Take me here." Mr. Han must have disbelief. He has been raising so much money to come and check it out in person.

Hou Xun quickly walked to the warehouse gate. Before he could salute, Han Wen said anxiously: "Where is the tax bank stored?"

"Please, sir!"

Hou Xun took Han Wen to Tunyin's warehouse. There were countless large boxes. When he checked in, he saw that there were neat silver.

Han Wen opened the tax book in his hand and looked at the boxes in the warehouse again, "Is these all silver?"

"Report to the master, it's all the money. I'll be in the warehouse after counting it."

Hiss ~

All is silver?

In order to rectify the bad things in the capital, Your Majesty did not hesitate to pretend to be crazy for three days, which shows that his determination is as solid as a rock.

If you can collect the money, Your Majesty will definitely promote the world, and no one can stop it.

"It's all silver...it's all silver..." Han Wen murmured.

I am not afraid of Emperor Hongzhi's blame, but I am afraid that the grandsons of the Censorate will be impeached. It is the end of the year and it is time for each yamen to liquidate their performance. The grandsons of the Censorate will not be impeached to death.

"I shouldn't have obstructed me at the beginning, how can I report to Your Majesty now?"

...

Snow cellar and ice, cabinet.

Liu Jian was not feeling well today. One day after taking leave, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian in the cabinet read the memorials submitted from various places, and a Hanlin added some fireworks next to him.

Xie Qian opened a booklet on the case, which was a memorial from Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua, impeachment of Liangxiang County Magistrate Zhang Xian.

"It is rare for Binzhi brothers, Yang Zhanshi and Dehui to jointly impeach one person."

"What's the matter?"

"It is harmful to scholars. Liangxiang opened an adventure house, which was haunted by ghosts. I am afraid... it has nothing to do with Brother Bin's good son-in-law." Xie Qian teased.

It is rumored that Andyong Bo intends to match with Brother Binzhi. In this way, the guy from the Censorate became Brother Binzhi's son-in-law. Speaking of which, Brother Binzhi does not seem to like him as a student, so Xie Qian felt it was interesting in secret.

"Yu Qiao, don't be naughty."

When Li Dongyang thought of that nightmare, he felt cold all over his body.

"Then this memorial?"

Xie Qian wanted to ask if he would help stay. The impeachment of the Zhan Shi Mansion was just because the prince was lazy in his studies and went to Liangxiang to make trouble.

Seeing that his Majesty had too many comments like this, he was too lazy to punish the prince.

In other words, this is a memorial that can be communicated or not.

"Say it to Your Majesty."

...

East Warm Pavilion,

After reading the memorials passed by the cabinet, Emperor Hongzhi said that the prince had not studied for the past few days and went to Liangxiang to make trouble. With the temperament of this evil son, he could be honest for half a month after he beat him once. It seemed... he hadn't beat him for a long time.

"Crown Prince Xuan comes to see me."

Xiao Jing hurried to the East Palace to announce the imperial edict.

It was snowing outside, and Zhu Houzhao was studying in the bedroom. It was almost a year since Liu's partner had not come back.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty announces you to meet the Holy One."

"Who said bad things about me?"

Zhu Houzhao stared at Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing took a few steps back in shock. The prince did not take any light or heavy measures. He knew how to do it, but he would not dare to attack the prince.

"It's Yang Zhanshi and Wang Shao Zhanshi..."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned and came to Donghun Pavilion nervously. She cut a hole in the window and saw her father reading a book inside.

Xiao Jing had a dark face, and the windows of Dongnuan Pavilion were cut by the prince.

"Your Majesty, the Prince's Palace is coming down."

Emperor Hongzhi put down his book and saw Zhu Houzhao strode into the hall and saluting him: "My son, Houzhao, have met his father."

"The two masters of Zhan Shi's Mansion went to Liangxiang to find you, and you are more and more adept at playing."

My father is praising me?

Zhu Houzhao couldn't laugh, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes rolled around, and the cold sky was whipped, which hurt very much.

"My son went to Liangxiang to fight for poetry and did not ask for leave from the two masters. It was because my son was wrong. I beg my father not to punish him."

"Why did I hear that you were hanging out with the Adventure House?"

"I also went to the Adventure House. I first went to the library and then to the Adventure House." Zhu Houzhao knew that there was Jinyiwei following him, so she couldn't hide it.

At this moment, a small eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, North Korea's King Lee Long sent an envoy Han Simen to pay tribute!"

"Prince!"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and signaled Zhu Houzhao, an annoying guy, to go to the side and settle the score with you later.

Zhu Houzhao stood aside in disappointment.

A moment later, an official wearing a regular suit strode into the hall. The regular suit is very similar to the Ming Dynasty official suit, except that the rhinoceros belt is raised to his chest.

"According to the order of King Li Long of our country, we will pay tribute at the end of the year. We will come to pay our respect to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. Li Long sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty many times, but it was nothing more than the idea of ​​a lighter.

"Please leave the banquet and return gifts to the Ministry of Rites."

Xiao Jing nodded and ordered someone to go to the Ministry of Rites to announce the edict.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was not very enthusiastic, Han Simen blew a few words of flattery and retreated out with a sensible look.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao and said, "I heard from the Jinyiwei that you made the ghost place?"

"It was done by Lao Gao."

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, and the little eunuch next to him passed the whip, beat Zhu Houzhao up, and told him to be honest for half a month.

The next day, before dawn, the snow was swaying.

Yang Tinghe came to Zhan Shi's mansion and prepared lessons and lecture notes for the prince. When he was opening the book, a group of cockroaches crawled out.

He jumped up and stood on the stool, almost burst into tears.

"ah…!"

"Come...! Hurry! Come!"

Wang Hua and the assistants from Zhan Shi's Mansion heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing cockroaches all over the ground, Yang Zhan Shi stood on a stool and jumped up and down.

"What's wrong with sir?" Wang Hua said.

"There are cockroaches!" Yang Tinghe almost cried and pointed to the ground.

At this moment, a cockroach flapped its wings and flew onto his clothes.

Ah ~

Yang Tinghe jumped onto Wang Hua with a whirlpool, and the two fell to the ground, causing Wang Hua to be off guard.

He is niang...

The yamen runners of the Zhan Shi Mansion came in and quickly cleaned up the cockroaches. Yang Tinghe knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he cleaned up the Guan Shang and held his face: "How come there are so many cockroaches in my official book?"

"I don't know if I don't know."

Yang Tinghe didn't want to make a big fuss so well-known.

I had to pretend to behave and change my seat to work. When it was time to give lectures, I quickly walked to Minglun Hall.

"Where is the prince, I haven't come today?"

The little eunuch on the side said, "Yesterday, the prince was scolded by His Majesty, and he couldn't get out of bed today..."

For some reason, Yang Tinghe always felt that some people knew that he was afraid of cockroaches.

"No, now the entire Zhan Shi Mansion knows..."
