Chapter 296: This Is Fate
Xu Qing said: "Do you still remember Song Mingzhe from yesterday?"
Xiao Ruxue looked blank: "Who?"
Xu Qing said: "It's the person whose limbs were broken by us yesterday."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly remembered, daring to speak disrespectfully to Sister Su, breaking her limbs is considered light!
Xu Qing continued: "The son of the right servant of the household department, this right servant of the household department used to be the governor of Qingzhou."
Xiao Ruxue asked suspiciously: "Then why do you need to do it yourself? Couldn't the Shadow Guards find out after some time? And didn't you say that the father and the king would do it for the stability of the court in one or two years? Let them perform their duties, even if you find out now, you can't judge him, why do you have to work so hard yourself?"
Xu Qing said: "Of course I went to investigate to ensure that he is absolutely greedy, and he has been greedy a lot. Do you understand this?"
Xiao Ruxue suddenly understood, and waved her small fist: "Then I will investigate with you! Hurry up, I want him to be greedy for one million taels! No, it doesn't have to be all greedy, he can still grab it!" ! The crime is added to the class!"
Xu Qing immediately looked at Xiao Ruxue with admiration, this little girl is a fast learner!
As expected of the Princess Yongle who ran amok in the capital back then.
But the return is quick, but we have to pursue reality. There are limited things that can be found out in the accounts, not to mention the accounts from the previous year. I guess I can only check where the tax is not right.
However, the little girl's idea may not necessarily be used here, and it can also be used in other places.
In short, don't think about offending the three benevolent people in the capital [rogues]!
In the quiet room, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue's "snapping" flipping the abacus on the opposite side and couldn't help but think, the little girl is easy to feed, a fried chicken and a grilled fish can be full of energy to work all day , Isn't this much better than a certain prince?
Prince Qi's Mansion
It was the first time that Mr. Wu was scolded by King Qi, and even directly called him a fool, which was absolutely unprecedented in the past.
The previous King Qi always obeyed his words, and he himself rarely made mistakes, but when it came time to win over the county magistrate of Anding, he made mistakes many times.
Originally planned to rely on Princess Gao Ning to pull Xu Qing onto His Royal Highness King Qi's boat, but she never thought that Xu Qing would turn out to be an infatuated seed.
Of course, they actually prepared a plan to create a rift between Xu Qing and his wife, but it turned out to be self-defeating. Miss Chen's family didn't know what happened, and she was so frightened that she still hasn't recovered.
Now, because of successive wrong judgments, King Qi finally began to speak ill of Mr. Wu.
"Stupid thing! Get out!"
Mr. Wu looked at His Royal Highness King Qi who was lying on the bed, his left leg was in plaster, his right arm was still being bandaged by the imperial doctor, and his eyes were red, and he sighed, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, take your leave."
...
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue had already finished accounting of Qingzhou's accounts in only four days, and it was the first time for Xu Qing to work so hard, so she was not used to it.
There are many places where Qingzhou's accounts do not match, and the officials in charge of tax laws in Qingzhou really dare to write, and it cost close to 100,000 taels of silver just to build a road in the city.
Why don't you go to heaven?
Thanks to the detailed accounts now, if it was in the past, who would care about these things? It is estimated that buying an egg costs ten taels of silver, and no one will notice such outrageous accounts. It is caught in a pile of purchase accounts, and it is passed in general.
But now, I'm sorry, the accounts are detailed, let alone buying an egg, even if you buy a leek, you have to record it for you. The previous method of directly setting up large accounts is not feasible now!
Imperial Palace - Imperial Study Room
The Emperor Chu looked at King Xian, handed him a memorial and said: "Brother Emperor, Zhao Guo and Zhou Guo sent a team of missions, all the way through our country of Chu, and now they are about to arrive in the capital. It seems that the motive Not pure."
Xian Wang looked at the memorial, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "It seems that some clowns will not be able to sit still."
The Emperor of Chu sighed and said, "Last year, our country of Chu suffered a lot of disasters. The national treasury was not able to make ends meet, and even years of accumulation was used for disaster relief. However, last year in Zhou and Zhao countries, the treasury was filled with good weather."
"Now, just after the calamity year in our country of Chu, they sent a mission all the way through the important places of our country of Chu. I'm afraid they didn't use the name of the mission to investigate the reality of our country of Chu."
The virtuous king said: "My king, the shadow guards of Zhou and Zhao countries have also received news. The frontier troops of the two countries have been dispatched. Although the target is not yet clear, the wolf's ambition may have been clearly revealed."
The Emperor Chu took a deep breath and said: "In the past, there was always no major movement on the border of the Three Kingdoms, and small frictions continued. It seems that they can't hold back anymore."
"Although the national treasury now says that it relies on punishing corrupt officials to confiscate a lot of money, if the operating expenses of the imperial court are taken into account, it may be barely sufficient for the needs of World War I, and some state capitals have been severely affected, and I have reduced taxes in some places. It will become even more difficult.”
"Even with the resources of the National Chamber of Commerce, it is already the limit to deal with one country. If the two countries finally join forces to attack our Chu country, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to fight."
The virtuous king said: "Soldiers come to block water and soil, and those who should come can't stop it. If we really want to meet each other in the end, this king still has a last card."
Emperor Chu asked, "Brother Huang, what cards do you have?"
The virtuous king said: "This king asked Xu Qing to check the accounts of the previous year. Yesterday Xu Qing told this king that the amount of corruption is huge. If it is really a last resort, the wealth of the officials in the court will be the source of military expenses."
The Emperor Chu took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then my Great Chu will be in chaos first, so how can we talk about fighting abroad?"
The virtuous king said: "So this step is a last resort, but if you really want to take this step, you must be decisive. Tune the shadow guards to suppress the court, and kill some rebellious officials and thieves who intend to disturb the court. This king will not believe them. Not honest!"
The Emperor of Chu looked at King Xian and said, "If you do this, how should Great Chu deal with itself in the future?"
The virtuous king said: "I can't control that much anymore."
The Emperor of Chu sighed and said: "I'm afraid it will be written in the history books of later generations that the Emperor of Chu has no way and slaughtered his subjects to raise military funds."
The virtuous king glanced at him: "Why should you recite what this king has done?"
The Emperor of Chu looked at King Xian: "You and my brother, one person's bad reputation is enough. Last year, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, many people in Dachu said that it was because the Emperor of Chu was innocent and caused natural disasters. No matter how stinky your reputation is, that’s it, if your reputation as the Great Chu God of War is also stinky, I’m afraid that the military and government will be messed up at that time. There must be someone to support the future of Great Chu.”
King Xian's throat moved: "It's been hard for you these years."
Chu Huang waved his sleeves: "Stop talking, this is fate..."
