Chapter 165

Yinreng did what he said, and he found the list of officials who wrote the money to borrow money, including the left governor Yu Guozhu!

"The salary of the censor is not low. They are much more respectful than others. If you ask for a report to borrow money, maybe something is really wrong? Go and take 10,000 taels of silver from the orphan warehouse and send it to Yu Jingshi."

Yinreng has his own private account book. The official kiln of Liuli is profitable, and his money is only in and out. His usual expenses are all gone through the private warehouse. In the prince's own private warehouse, the silver is like rooted, lying in the warehouse and moldy.

"Since the ministers in the court have difficulties, I also need to help me. Just borrow money, borrow and repay. The interest will not be counted for the first time, and let them call the IOU to the orphans."

Yinreng's money bag was extremely wealthy. In his eyes, the silver in the warehouse was just a better number. After writing it as Arabic numerals, several zeros were followed. Just looking at the numbers, I really didn't feel anything.

After Yinreng finished sending the people sent to him by Kangxi, he then walked to the Ministry of Revenue located outside the east gate of the Ganqing Palace. The authorities of the Ministry of Revenue on the left and right were just next to the Ministry of Revenue, not far away at all.

The two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, Hang Ai and Liang Qingbiao, were both there. Before Yinreng arrived, the two ministers received the arrival of the prince and hurriedly brought the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue to greet him.

Why did His Royal Highness suddenly remember to come to the Ministry of Revenue?

Could it be that the emperor has made some moves to send the Ministry of Revenue to do it?

The former Minister of War Hang Ai was an old acquaintance of Yinreng. He became familiar with him when he followed his elder brother to visit the Ministry of War. As for Liang Qingbiao, Yinreng's impression of him was limited to his report to Khan Ama, hoping that Khan Ama would pay attention to the negative growth of the treasury accounts.

"I came here to ask the two adults for some IOUs, and since the beginning, the officials in the court have asked the Ministry of Revenue how much money they have borrowed."

Hang Ai was suddenly shocked, and his heart was filled with storms: Check the account?! Did the emperor check the administration of Jiangnan and plan to settle the capital together?

"I wonder what the Crown Prince asked the minister for the purpose of asking for the loan account? This account is related to the treasury and the emperor's imperial edict would probably not be able to investigate without authorization."

Hang Ai asked tentatively, hoping that it was His Highness the Crown Prince's whim, not the emperor planned to check the accounts. In the court and the country, almost every official had asked the Ministry of Revenue to borrow the accounts. If he didn't borrow it, he seemed unsociable. If he continued to investigate, he would have to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and it would cause a lot of trouble!

"Sir, don't be nervous. I am not here to check the accounts. I am here to find a way to settle the accounts for the treasury," Yinreng explained in a gentle voice.

"The two adults also submitted a memorial to Khan Ama hopes to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Although there is no need to fight, it is a heavy snow disaster. The accounts may not be easy to see where they go. People have no money at home, and the whole family will starve to death. If the Ministry of Revenue has no money, the whole country will starve to death. I see that many court officials have asked the Ministry of Revenue to borrow money immediately. It is obvious that they can't do it. Who has not had a time when they are short of money?"

Liang Qingbiao asked in confusion: "So Your Highness wants..."

"Gou pays the money himself and sets up the account. If someone comes to borrow it later, ask Gu to borrow it. The treasury's silver is used to build the Qing Dynasty, so it can't be borrowed. What do you think?"

Yinreng felt that it was unconvincing to just say it, so he called Yuzhu who was waiting outside: "Where is the lonely silver? Have you moved it?"

"When you go back to the Crown Prince, the silver in the warehouse is already on the way."

Not long after, all the silver in the existing warehouse in the Yinreng Yuqing Palace was moved over. He also brought the boxes he had put in the silver notes together. Over the years, all the money earned by Liuli officials and breeding insects was delivered to the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue.

Liang Qingbiao was confused by Yinreng's operation. Yinreng also asked someone to count the money he brought and asked them: "Is this money enough to settle the accounts owed by the officials?"

"It's enough," Hang Ai also calmed down before he came to his senses. The prince's wealthy appearance made him stunned. What was even more shocking was the prince's wealth.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue is the place where you are responsible for minting money, why should you pay for it yourself?" Liang Qingbiao noticed something was wrong and hurriedly stopped Yinreng: "The precedent for officials in the court to borrow money was opened three years ago, so you can still get the amount now, but if a precedent is set, all people come to you to borrow money in the future. The silver in your warehouse will probably be a drop in the bucket! Because not only the officials borrow money, the royal family also borrowed money from the Ministry of Revenue."

"Since it's enough, then all of them will be settled today. The Ministry of Revenue's accounts are good for minting money. If the Ministry of Revenue has no money, it will be made. If the money is lent out, the money will be lost. If it is not a problem with silver and money, it is a pile of empty accounts. If something happens, don't you worry about the hidden dangers? If the money is not enough, make money. If it is just a matter of money, make money. If it is just a matter of random things, what will the money become? The treasury is still the only thing in the treasury, and the people's output is only that. The imperial court's money is invested in a large amount. At that time, the money is worthless and the silver bills are turned into waste paper. The imperial court will lose its credit, which will cause chaos in the world."

Yinreng said: "The money I earned through the glazed official kiln and selling insects over the years is nowhere to spend. You can accept it. Then let those who borrow money and have to pay it back to find the orphan. By the way, Khan Ama previously stipulated that how many years it would take for the Ministry of Revenue to pay it back?"

The two ministers looked at each other, and Liang Qingbiao, a Han minister, was the first to answer: "The time limit set by the emperor is three years."

It was said that it was three years ago, but few people have come to pay back the money so far, and the accounts given by the Ministry of Revenue have not been collected.

"The first batch of people who borrowed money should pay back the debt. Didn't the Ministry of Revenue send someone to urge me?"

Hang Ai welcomed Yinreng into the hall and explained helplessly: "The throne has not been ordered, so how could the Ministry of Revenue urge officials to pay back the money?"

"Then let's not urge you. Even if they ask Gu in the future, Gu will not limit their time. They will pay back the money after they make money."

Yinreng said generously: "I only opened my mouth and followed Khan Ama to eat and starve to death. I should just focus on the treasury first."

Liang Qingbiao looked complicated and asked Yinreng again: "Your Highness, are you really planning to pay for your own money to settle the treasury accounts?"

The prince was generous and stupid. He treated others generously and suffered himself. He could only earn some reputation of benevolence, righteousness and integrity when he said it. But just think about it and you will know that those who borrowed money would not come to pay back the money. Even if the accounts were settled, the money would be paid in vain by the prince!

Yinreng nodded repeatedly.

Liang Qingbiao said: "What Your Highness said is indeed reasonable. The money from the Ministry of Revenue is related to the Qing Dynasty's livelihood and should be treated with caution. I thank Your Highness for your kindness and generosity. But, your Highness should discuss with the emperor and then do it?"

He looked at Yinreng's expression as if he was watching a child holding Jin Zhuan, a fat sheep who had no ability to protect himself.

The silly child really has to pay for his own money to settle the bill.

Yinreng said firmly: "I can make the decision of my own warehouse. Khan Ama never cares about how I spend money. Now I am here to contribute to the treasury, Khan Ama will not stop him."

Of course the emperor would stop him. How could the emperor watch his son foolishly send the money into someone else's pocket?

Hang Ai sighed and waved his hand to Liang Qingbiao, stopping him from continuing.

"Have you thought about it?"

"You don't need to shirk your mind. Since you both said that the money of Gu is enough to settle the accounts, then let's settle it. The previous accounts and IOUs have been transferred to Gu. You can also write a memorial to Khan Ama, and ask the other court officials to borrow money in the future and ask Gu to borrow money. Don't touch the national treasury again. By the way, Lord Yu has sent someone to borrow 10,000 taels of Gu who borrowed from him."

Hang Ai was silent for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Putting down the accounts of the treasury is indeed of great benefit to the Qing Dynasty, and it can also solve the silver void in it. I hope someone can pacify the treasury, but if the emperor knew that the treasury had accepted this matter and 'scammer's money into the treasury, the emperor would be angry."

"No, if Khan Ama gets angry, I will just be responsible for any problems," Yinreng promised: "It's not that the adults 'lid' the orphans, but that the orphans come to you on their own initiative, so many eyes are watching! No one will blame the adults for this."

Liang Qingbiao glared at Hang Ai: You are so bold, do you want to deal with such a thing?

Hang Ai shook his head.

Whether the matter of settlement is due to His Royal Highness himself or the emperor’s instructions, is it still unclear!

"Since your highness has said this, I will obey your order and give the account to the prefecture, but I will also write a memorial to report the Emperor's affairs."

Yinreng was very satisfied and urged: "That's right. Lord Hang Ai would do it simply. He was a person who had worked in the Ministry of War and was doing things with ease and neatness."

Liang Qingbiao: "..."

"Isn't it said that Lord Liang is slow to do things," Yinreng explained quickly, looking up at Lord Liang, who is already 64 years old. There was a very young child who felt that he had taken care of the elderly ministers and hurriedly greeted the two adults to sit down and do their business.

Once the accounts were settled, Yinreng's own warehouse lost nearly 90% of the money, and the money was directly given to the national treasury. When Yuzhu gave the silver notes box, it hurt so much that his heart and soul were bleeding!

"Little ancestor, all the money is sent to the treasury. What's the difference between giving money to the minister for free? I asked the money borrowed by the Ministry of Revenue before, and the favors are not considered to be His Highness. Oh, what are the purposes of this?" Madam Xu also anxiously said to her hometown.

Yinreng hugged the box of IOUs that he had obtained, and was satisfied.

"Xinyu, please help me to order and register these IOUs according to time. It turned out that Khan Ama had made a three-year decision to pay back the money. Gu gave them grace to five years. If they didn't change it in five years, it would be considered interest," Yinreng shouted and sent someone to collect all the 10% of the silver left in his public opinion palace to lend it to the people who came afterwards.

"Your Highness, you can use all your money in the warehouse. How can you live with so many people in Yuqing Palace in the future!"

Madam Xu was so anxious that her forehead was sweating.

"It seems that the expenses of orphans were not derived from Khan Ama's warehouse," Yinreng replied without raising his head while writing notes: "I am still a minor, now Khan Ama is raising orphans. The accounts in Yuqing Palace are all gone from Khan Ama's private warehouse. If you want to support your family, you should wait for the orphans and Guan to talk about it."

Ninety percent of the deposit was empty, and Madam Xu helped Yinreng to take charge of the account, feeling very distressed: "I am just a woman with limited knowledge, but you can't always rely on eating and drinking from the emperor. You always have your own hobbies and need to use additional money. If everything goes through the emperor, how hard it will be! At least you can save some money for yourself to respond to the emergency."

Yinreng really couldn't think of a place where he needed to spend money.

In the Forbidden City, only others gave him money and curled him, and never gave him money to manage the money. The research institute that originally spent money was listed as one of the imperial departments by Khan Ama. It was the account of the treasury, so he didn't need to pay for it.

Yinreng himself did not raise his servants. All the donkeys in his hand were able to eat grass to support him, or Ama helped him pay his salary, but he himself did not like those antiques and treasures. As Yinreng told Yinzhen, he was an upright and good boy. He did not prostitute or gamble, so of course there was no place to spend money.

If that's the case, why bother to give this money?

"Madam Xu, if you don't give it money, you won't make any profits. Although I don't give it to usury, I will give it to the court officials for three years plus two years and a total of five years of repayment period!"

Madam Xu could not reverse the concept of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so she could only watch him foolishly. And Yinreng, he also wrote a letter to Kangxi, and proudly told Kangxi: Khan Ama, Erchen did a great good deed that was beneficial to the treasury. Erchen used pocket money to lend the treasury to settle the loss! Erchen just lost a little bit of silver that was moldy in the treasury, but there was room for capital turnover in the treasury.

Not only did he not think that this was wrong, he also asked Kangxi for credit and waited for Khan Ama to praise him.

Three days later, the subordinates finally delivered the book written by him. Yinreng took the book that was still very popular and sent it to Yinzhen for reading.

"How about the fourth brother? Now all the civil and military officials in the court are all owed money to the royal family." Yinreng was shocked to see Yinzhen and was stunned, and his tail was so proud that he was so proud that he was overturned to the sky.

Yinzhen looked through the account book and the more he looked, the curve of the corners of his mouth could not stop rising.

"The court officials and princes borrowed money, but they would not come to pay back the money easily. They smiled when borrowing money, but they looked different when paying it back. You must be mentally prepared."

Yinreng said: "If they really borrow money and don't pay it back then, they will send someone to collect debts every day."

Although he lost a little money, he got the IOU from all the civil and military officials of the court and the royal family!

"Guke does not cherish his reputation as Khan Ama, and he doesn't care about his reputation, otherwise Gu wouldn't have written the book "Scientific Pig Raising" at the beginning."

At that time, it is time to release interest, and he can also arrange for people to set up a new department called the debt collection department.

Yinzhen thought that when Khan Ama knew what the prince had done, he would be happy. As soon as he thought of the scene, he couldn't stop being happy.

Among the brothers, Khan Ama is the best and closest to the prince. With Khan Ama's favor, he will actually collect debts for the prince himself.

The Ministry of Revenue borrowed money was opened by Khan Ama. At that time, he gained fame and won over his ministers. Now he knows how to shoot himself in the foot, right?

Yinzhen was trapped in a child and used the prince's hand to solve possible troubles in the future. This was the most pleasant time he felt since his rebirth. "It is better to have short pain than long pain. The second brother of the prince did the right thing. It is better to solve the trouble today than to delay it for decades. This is a great achievement."

Yinreng said in surprise: "The fourth brother actually praised me for being alone!"

Yinzhen was shocked, but his intuition was not good. When he saw Yinreng's expression, his scalp became numb and he wished he could run away immediately.

"When I saw my younger brother admire Gu so much, Gu was very relieved. Come, fourth brother, today we will learn this full English physics book..." Yinreng grabbed Yinzhen who was trying to escape and pressed him on the desk.

On the other hand, by the time Kangxi received the letter, the matter had already settled and the daylily was cold!

All the civil and military officials in the court knew that His Royal Highness was rich and powerful. He asked him to borrow money when he was short of money. He also borrowed 10,000 taels to Nalan Mingzhu's confidant Yu Guozhu!

Kangxi was reluctant to tear the letter and was so angry that he threw the brush hard, which scared Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong bent down and picked up the brush, handed it over in a trembling voice: "Emperor... Emperor?"

"This prodigal son! I have only been away for a month and have turned myself into a 'broken bank'!" There is an old saying that is right, "My son was born to be a debt collector." Kangxi was deeply touched by this.

All the family fortunes that Soetu has accumulated for the prince over the years have been defeated by this unlucky child!
