.Concave one.    

Tu Li said: "I have been checking the accounts for three days, but no problems were found." He paused: "It seems that Yan Butang was falsely accused.

Chen Si's heart sank and said to himself: "The Yan Party has softened so quickly. I want to take a step back and leave it alone." According to the original direction of the Communist Party, I wanted to make a big deal and achieve a big turnaround. But Tu Li wants to calm down now, and it is obviously unbeaten to retreat.

If Chen Si was a pure politician, it would be okay to accept this situation, but his conscience had not been eaten by the dog. How could he watch the Yan Party continue to harm the country? In any case, the Yan family and his son had to step down. This is his bottom line. That's why he notified Xu Jie as soon as possible and took on this thankless errand without hesitation.

People cannot always be so selfish. Sometimes being a little stupid is a true gentleman.

I heard Chen Si lower his face and said, "Mr. Tu, I have no objection to you if you want to save Yan Donglou, but you can't compensate us Ren."

"This Tu Li said in surprise: "What does Lord Shen mean?

"If Yan Shifan had no problem, how would you explain the missing one million and a half taels of silver? "Is it because of the three of us who were embezzled?"

Tu Li and Zhou Huaian changed their faces when they heard this: "Mr. Shen, you can't talk nonsense."

Silently asked, "The emperor asked, how should we explain?"

"This Lord Shen didn't know anything about it. Tu Li smiled faintly and said, "The materials used in the palace are extremely exquisite. Not to mention anything else, those large sections of golden nanmu, red sandalwood, and pineapple wood can no longer be found in the Central Plains. They have to be harvested from Yunnan and Hainan, and then transported them to Beijing for a long distance. They rubbed their hands together, "At that time, the world was not peaceful, so they dared to transport them by land. They specially built thirty large ships and ten ships transported wood. Twenty ships were escorted by warships, and this item alone cost nearly 800,000 taels of silver.

"Then why can't these ships be found in the Ministry of Works' account? I asked silently: "No one has ever mentioned this.

"Shipbuilding is in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Administration and the Commander Command. The money was directly allocated to the local government. Tu Li said slowly: "This is well-documented." He said to silently: "I have asked the people from the Ministry of Works for this matter. They said that now that the project is completed, thirty ships can be handed over to the Ministry of War for call. The expenses of 800,000 taels can be justified in the Ministry of War's account."

I was reluctant to give this explanation. I knew that they were going to clear themselves first, and then threaten the 800,000 taels in the palace. If you don’t accept this statement, then we will investigate thoroughly, deduct the parts we can explain, and then check where the rest has flowed? Let’s see who dares to investigate!

"It's really a bachelor." After being rebelled, he couldn't help but frown secretly. He had been in charge of the Maritime Warehouse and was very familiar with the cost of ships. He built thirty large ships, including ten transport ships. Even if the highest specifications are used, up to 200,000 taels of silver is enough. How can 800,000 taels be used?

And Chen Shi knew that over the years, the shipping industry in the Ming Dynasty had reached great success. From Tianjin to Shandong, from Jiangxi to Fujian, from Fujian to Guangdong, from Guangdong and Guangxi, from Guangdong and Guangxi to Nanyang, there were large fleets of ships coming and going. As long as you pay a considerable freight, you can transport the wood from the southeast to Beijing. How can you specialize in building a ship?

But people's concepts always lag behind the times. The adults in Beijing, especially the emperors of the Forbidden City, still remained decades ago when Chimu was not allowed to go into the sea. They regarded the sea route from Hainan to Tianjin as a daunting road. Without personal experience, it would be impossible to change.

If you keep silent and hold on to this matter, at most the court will send people to investigate the matter. Guangdong is at the southernmost end of the Ming Dynasty. It took several months to go, and the Yan Dang had enough time to build a ship, but it was really impossible to explain it.

Siren, who had always had a lot of ideas, suddenly lost his mind. He had to accept Tu Li's statement, so Tu Li said that the next day, the saint explained the situation. "Silence, as a junior official, could not stop him, so he had to go.

In fact, he was not afraid of Tu Li reporting this way. He had already passed the inside line and learned about Emperor Jiajing's attitude. He would win Yan Shifan no matter what, so he took on this job happily, and really hoped to add another contribution to himself so that he could be more confident in the future.

But if Jiajing rejected Tu Li's opinion, it would not be a bonus point for himself, but a reduction; and what's more serious is that once Yan Shifan was forced by the emperor and used the 800,000 taels of silver he gave to the inner court as a threat, so that Emperor Jiajing would feel uncomfortable, he would definitely become a punching bag. If he really got to that point, Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, and there was no one inside or outside.

What Chen Si was even more worried about was that since his debut, his image of wise and powerful will be destroyed. It is an important weapon to maintain his fragile group and must not be missed. How could he be a person who can give up? Let Tiezhu pack all the files and take them home to continue thinking.

When he got home, he plunged into the study and began to study the accounts of the Ministry of Industry carefully, trying to find some loopholes and turn the tables at the last moment. But he found sadly that he was completely confused about the accounts. He was dizzy when he saw it, but he still couldn't get the point.

He thought of taking the errand confidently and trying to complete the most beneficial layout for him, but he actually met two people. Han Zhiyan Party burst into tears and said, "It's really a waste of rice!" Dianmo took Gan Ba ​​and the eighth ones! He was so fierce that he was so scared that he ran away in panic."

Chen Si lowered his head and prepared to continue research, but it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. He couldn't help but shouted, "Palm Light! Palm Light!" After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Chen Si angrily said, "Where are people dead?"

Before he finished speaking, there was light outside, and then Ruohan came in with a candlestick.

Silence couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Madam, I'm not talking about you."

Ruohan glanced at him and lit several lights in the house with a candlestick. The study room lit up. Then he said to silently: "The master is the master. Of course, he can scold anyone, but it's just that the children are damaged, but it's troublesome.

Chen Si said embarrassedly: "I am also anxious, so I speak without saying anything." He said with a smile: "You are here just right. I have any questions to ask for advice.

"I am afraid that Ruohan pretended to behave, "I wish to share the worries for the master.

Chen Jing asked, "You have semicolons in every province, but you never visit them in person. How do you guard against the shopkeepers' personal pockets?

"The water is clear and there is no fish." Ruohan said: "They took some food without any harm, so I turned a blind eye to it. But there was a limit on everything. If it was not so good, I would just smash his job!"

"I know you are amazing." Silently held her hand and said, "I asked you how you did it?"

. Check the accounts." Ruohan said: "Every month, the account book is delivered to me. After checking the accounts, I can realize abnormal income and expenditure. Often those dogs cheat and cheating exist in these abnormal places." Behind the light words, I don't know how much sweat and hard work have been condensed, but she just doesn't say it.

"Then, can you help me settle this account?" Chen Si pointed to the pile of case-related account books. He said to Ruohan: "I know a little too many," those account books have more than twenty thick books. In Shen Mo's opinion, there are not ten days or half a month. Don't even think about getting to know the clues, but time doesn't wait for anyone, so how can there be so much time? That's why he was anxious and lost.

Unexpectedly, Ruohan flipped through the accounts and said calmly: "One night is enough."

"Madam, don't want to spend the time with me?" Silently smiled bitterly, "I can't apologize to you for my husband."

"Am I so scrupulous?" Ruohan Qian said with a charming look: "Even if I am brave, I dare not deceive the master." He then took a silent hand and said: "Let's go to have dinner first, and work will start after dinner, so it will be guaranteed not to be delayed."

Silent will be skeptical, but dare not offend the authority, so he had to agree.

When Chen Mo and Ruohan returned to the study room absent-mindedly, they saw ten smart-looking women standing in front of the door, and greeted them together.

Seeing that they were carrying a standard baggage on their shoulders in silence, they felt strange in their hearts, but they didn't ask, he knew that Ruohan must have something to do.

After entering the study, Ruohan asked someone to carry two large tables and lit up all the lamps in the house. It was as bright as day, and closed the doors and windows tightly. Taking advantage of the busy work of the people below, Ruohan whispered to silent: "I have trained these girls for many years, and so many accounts can be settled in time, all relying on their iron abacus.

"As he said, he said to the women, "There are twenty books here, only two income and expenditure items. There are no sales and loans, so you must clarify them as soon as possible

.Yes”. The women responded crisply, and took out the abacus, paper, and Western pens in the bag, and made a crackling sound.

Looking at these women in silence, they were so fluttering their fingers and flipping the account books. They were dazzled and dazzled, and exclaimed at Ruohan in a low voice: "It seems that it is not a lucky thing to be able to make your career so big.

Ruohan looked at the silent happily and said, "No matter how great the master is, the little girl has no place to show her."

"Okay, let's stop praising each other." Silently smiled, "I don't know if the naughty eyes are clear. Is there any gains?"

"There must be Ruohan said softly, "Master, don't worry." After that, the two fell silent. Only a rustling sound of spring silkworms was heard in the study.

Tonight, there was more than one abacus sound in Beijing, and there were crackling sounds in the Purple Light Pavilion in Xiyuan at this time.

On the two long rosewood tables, there were two huge rosewood abacuses that were one meter long and one foot wide. Standing in front of the table were twenty bookkeeping eunuchs temporarily transferred from the Needle and Hat Office, and Shangyi Supervisor. Ten eunuchs shared a single abacus, and ten slender hands were quickly fiddling the abacus at the same time, and they were sweating profusely calculating the account book.

The four eunuchs of Silijian gathered in the Ziguang Pavilion at this moment, but they no longer had the same spirit as before. They all leaned over and knelt in front of a bead curtain, and did not dare to move.

On the soft couch behind the pearl curtain, the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty, was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, His Majesty the Emperor Jiajing. At this time, the emperor was staring at the few bills on the small machine beside the couch without blinking, and his face became increasingly ugly.

After a while, the sound of beads stopped. Huang Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly got up, took the newly settled bill, and whispered: "Master, the general account has come out." It was not until Jiajing inside snorted that he sent it behind the bead curtain. He gently placed it on the last open space on the small machine. Then he went back and knelt outside the bead curtain.

The tranquility of the past was restored to the hall. There were obviously more than a dozen people waiting, but they could not hear any sound.

For the four major rods of the two scammers, every second is a spear-like front; for the twenty-four eunuchs in the factory, this is even more so.

After a while, Jiajing behind the bead curtain finally spoke out: "Huang Jin, you are at the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. How many items can you give to the palace every year?

"By the master, 500,000 taels." Huang Jin said softly. Among these people today, he was a little relaxed because he had been away from Beijing for five or six years, and his bad debts were generally not on his head.

.500,000 taels, Emperor Jiajing said, "These 500,000 taels have all been joined by the inner gang." He said in a cold voice: "Why did you make such a big hole? You have to rely on external ministers to repair it!" It turned out that tonight, the emperor settled the accounts with the eunuchs to find out how the 800,000 taels of holes in the inner court were caused." Although Li Fang was sent by the emperor to build a tomb, he was still very loyal. At the risk of being punished, he also reported Yan Shifan's trump card to the emperor.

After being furious, Jiajing quickly regained his calmness because he knew that the more he got angry, the more he was plotted by others, he could of course be angry. He arrested Yan Shifan and jailed, and found a crime. But then the people in the world would say that Yan Shifan made up for the loss for the emperor, but in the end he was removed from the grinding and killed the donkey. This is something that Jiajing, who is desperate to save face, cannot accept.

Although Jiajing is old and doesn't want to be troubled, he is still the smart and powerful emperor in his bones. He has always played with others. How can he tolerate being played with? And it's repeated! Isn't it just bullying him for being old and weak, and he has no intention of reorganizing the government?

Why was Yan Shifan so bold? Because he lived in a politically stable society. Since ancient times, the Zhengshu Dynasty has shared the world with the monarchs and scholars. In political life, the emperor did not do whatever he wanted. There were only one or two emperors who founded the country. Because he was the persimmon creator of the empire, he might not care much about what the officials did, but when their children and grandchildren succeeded to the throne, the political stability came, and the imperial power was put into a cage by officials all over the world. What the emperor wanted to do must be supported by the ministers. Otherwise, he could not do it. The five Zhengshu Han dynasties, and the five Zhengshu Han dynasties, never had the emperor monopolize the power. The king and his ministers always tried each other, restricted each other, and jointly governed a huge country.

An emperor like Jiajing who is unscrupulous and unreasonable is definitely an alien from all generations. When ministers reasoned to him, he would talk to his ministers. When ministers talked to him, he would talk to his ministers. He would talk to his ministers. He would not listen to a word of humanity and would not do his own thing. After a long and arduous struggle, it finally led to the "crying incident" that had not been seen in a thousand years. Yang Sheng'an, who had been hated by Jiajing for a lifetime, said to the ministers: "The country has raised scholars for a hundred and fifty years, and died of righteousness for justice, today!

The ministers knelt down at Zuoshunmen and shouted to Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Xiaozong. Jiajing ordered the eunuch to pass an edict: "You are leaving." But the ministers still couldn't get up until noon. So the emperor ordered the Jinyiwei to arrest the Hanlin scholar Feng Xi and other eight others into the imperial prison. Yang Shen and others shook the door and cried, and for a moment "the voice shook the Queting Court. Jiajing was furious and used court skills to the officials of the crying gate, killing more than 20 people. Almost everyone was seriously injured and disabled. Yang Shen and others were lucky enough to be assigned to the army and were pardoned and would not be able to turn over for the rest of their lives.

After this incident, Jiajing finally took all the power shared by the king and his ministers, and truly became the only one. But he sadly realized that he and the gentleman and the straight minister Qingliu were already disloyal and could not get the true support of these people. So Yan Song made a comeback and opened up the 20 years of the tyrannical power of the Yan family father and son. Is the emperor who could deal with the old men of the cabinet in his teens getting worse and worse, and he really didn't know anyone? No, Jiajing knew that the father and son would not do good things. He dressed his country in a mess, but Jiajing was really scared by the extremely cruel "crying time. He was dragged down by the grand ceremony and beaten to death. He didn't want to come again again, so he couldn't live without the Yan family father and son. It was not because he was afraid that the country would be in chaos." In fact, Jiajing knew very well that he was already in a mess, so what could he be in chaos?

What made him really afraid was that once the father and son were suppressed and the obedient Yan Party was gone, the Ming Dynasty would again have a terrible situation of "the terrible situation of the court full of justice, and another great etiquette? I would shake the door and cry again? Then I would really become the number one foolish monarch, the first tyrant, and the first only husband in ancient times! This is the essential reason why Jiajing indulged the Yan family father and son.

Unfortunately, no one understood the emperor's heart, including Yan Shifan, who thought Jiajing too simply, and was the emperor who reigned the longest time and had the richest experience in political struggle in the Ming Dynasty. Jiajing knew too well what he was afraid of and not afraid of.

So Yan Shifan treated the emperor's indulgence as Jiajing was unintentional to political affairs and was lazy and afraid of trouble. With Jiajing's tolerance again and again, he felt that the emperor was easy to bully. He dared to threaten the emperor again and again!

Well, I thought about it and explained the emperor's heart clearly. Otherwise, many people would not understand why the Jiajing Dynasty bureau was so dragging. Believe me, there is no waste of pen, this is the real main line.
