"Mr. Gu, are you blind? Can't you see the token clearly?" Zi Yan said with a half-smile.

She had no favorable impression of Mr. Gu, a pure bureaucratic power, but taking the opportunity to punish him seemed a bit troublesome.

However, this person cannot be taken advantage of.

When you get back, contact the adults in charge of the personnel department, conduct year-end assessments, and "take care" of this person.

After making up her mind, Zi Yan put away the expression on her face and continued to look at Mr. Gu.

General Wang Shen next to him has shrunk aside and stopped talking. Can he provoke the Hidden Guards? The Imperial Guards are in the capital. Except for the Golden Snake Guards and others, most of the Imperial Guards either played a disgraceful role in the last chaos in the capital.

Characters who are either slow to react or fail to appear in time are all crimes.

If he hadn't considered that there were no channels for promotion in the capital, General Wang Shen would not have squeezed into the motorcade to welcome the Princess of Daxia.

He came here to get promoted and make a fortune, not to provoke the hidden guards.

What's more, that hidden guard is still at the commander level and is a giant among the hidden guards.

"Who is the commander of the Hidden Guard, sir?" There was a cold wind outside, but there were still sweat stains on Sir Gu's forehead.

"Zi." Zi Yan said one word lightly.

Master Gu's expression changed drastically. According to rumors, there was a hidden commander in the Hidden Guard, whose name was Zi, who was the emperor's absolute confidant.

This Commander Zi is very powerful and controls the secrets of many people. If he falls into her hands, he will definitely not end well.

Unexpectedly, the strange woman in front of him was the rumored Commander Zi.

"Zi, Mr. Zi, this is really... the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. It is really my duty. Sir, please don't blame me." Mr. Gu's words were already a bit panicked, and no one knew it.

What will be his fate next?

"I am on official duty, what is this carriage of yours for?" Zi Yan asked calmly.

She also noticed that this carriage was unusual. Many of the items accompanying it seemed to be royal items. Outsiders were not allowed to use it because it would violate taboos.

"Master Zi, this carriage team is the one used by the Princess of Daxia to see off her bride. We are going to send the princess to Sixiang City to meet His Majesty." Master Gu lowered his voice.

Zi Yan also didn't expect that this team was actually related to Princess Daxia.

She suddenly remembered that there must be people from Yang's Trading Company in the procession that Princess Daxia sent her bride off to.

"Master Gu, who is the person in charge of Yang's trading company who follows Princess Daxia? You call him here and say that I have something to ask." Zi Yan said.

"good."

Master Gu hurriedly left, seeing that Master Zi didn't want to punish him. If that was the case, why should he leave quickly? What are you waiting for?

After a while, Yang Hanzhu walked over quickly.

As soon as I saw the purple smoke, my eyes couldn't help but light up.

They all have a relationship with Yang Ruoqing, and of course they know each other. However, the two parties are in charge of different directions.

Yang Hanzhu was only in charge of business. She was the shopkeeper of Yang's Trading Company in this area, responsible for dealing with people from Daxia and Liao merchants who came around from the north.

"Hanzhu, you came here in person. Let's go to the carriage and let's discuss it," Zi Yan said.

"The team here..." Yang Hanzhu hesitated.

"The imperial team, let them go. The princess of Daxia must have come to Sixiang City to see the emperor. The emperor probably came to Sixiang City secretly in advance." Zi Yan said.

Of course, as the commander of the hidden guards, she knew about Qi Xingyun's itinerary in advance.

…

Four Symbols City.

Qi Xingyun arrived at Sixiang City earlier than Li Yuanshuang. After all, he arrived in less than a day from the capital to Sixiang City, while Li Yuanshuang made a long detour before arriving at Sixiang City.

He took the note and said, "I'm still talking! Where did all the money in the internal funds go? You, when I use the money now, you hold these 40 million taels without saying a word, and you almost miss the big event."

Eunuch Wang Yun said with an aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, you have to spend money in this palace. Besides, if you need money urgently, you have to keep some money in reserve, right? Besides, Your Majesty didn't ask, right?"

"I can't use money outside the court, so I jumped out and told the emperor that we have some money at home. Those people in the outside court are all old foxes. The money seems to be empty, but didn't there be a balance of 60 million last year? They are all staring at us.

I have this little money in my internal funds.”

"You're reasonable, right?" Qi Xingyun almost laughed angrily and said.

He did an inventory today and found out that he still had 40 million taels of money!

In front of me, Bachelor Zhang Tingyu was short of money, but Eunuch Wang Yun just kept silent and looked at him worried.

It's also a wonder that he never asked Eunuch Wang Yun if he still had any money in his internal funds.

"Then the emperor's 40 million taels of internal money can no longer be squandered. If it is squandered, I, the chamberlain, will not be able to do anything." Eunuch Wang Yun said with a look of distress.

Qi Xingyun looked at the account book and said: "This Jianxing payment of 10 million taels in May of the sixth year was what was done?"

During the Chinese New Year last year, I didn’t use internal funds to do anything, so why did I allocate 10 million taels all of a sudden?

Eunuch Wang Yun wiped his sweat. It was not like he had done anything inside.

But he knew that the emperor had been shrinking the size of his internal funds, including the workshop.

But he still committed the crime against the odds.

"Didn't the Eastern Province borrow 10 million taels of internal funds? Last year, it paid back 12 million taels. I thought that this money should be left as internal funds."

"I followed Mrs. Yang and invested in several flying shuttle weaving workshops. There were also some other silk merchants who invested some money. There was also Mrs. Yang's wool mill and I also invested some money."

Qi Xingyun looked at the catalog index for a long time and said: "How many companies do you have?! Shuttle Weaving Workshop! 20% of the shares! One hundred and seventy-seven workshops! 30% of the first-class silk merchants in each shop!

Mrs. Yang’s wool mill, only 20% of it is internal funds?!”

He spent a lot of effort and took out the bookstore and bank account that had the internal funds.

As a result, Eunuch Wang Yun not only made the money back under his nose, but also secretly built a new industry.

Eunuch Wang Yun suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I can't have no money to spend when the Emperor needs money. This is my duty."

Qi Xingyun looked at Eunuch Wang Yun and sighed and said, "Get up, I didn't say I would punish you."

"Forty million taels, that's too much. Your money will take up as much of Qi's national funds in just half a year."

"Let's see, the internal funds will use 10 million taels to build a few more new ships in Wuchao Lake and specialize in external silver. The income will be transferred to the internal funds for the time being."

Qi Xingyun shook his head. He had always wanted to reduce internal funds, but obviously, both the inner and outer courts were trying their best to prevent Qi Xingyun from doing so.

Father-in-law Wang Yun also brought up the matter of investment before Qi Xingyun reduced his internal funds.

"Good luck!" When Eunuch Wang Yun heard that the proceeds had gone into his own money, he stopped kneeling.

He fled out in a flash, leaving Qi Xingyun stunned.
