308: I'm afraid this is going to be a big deal
The Ministry of Revenue’s decree to recover the owed silver was officially released, just like a thunderbolt splitting the capital that was singing and dancing.
Not only was the court shaking, but even the backyards of each house began to panic.
Sure enough, history still follows the trajectory, and there are endless disputes in the court about who takes on this job.
The Eighth Master’s Party is now growing in scale, and more and more people in the court are speaking out for the Eighth Master, and the Eighth Master recommends the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master half lowered his eyes, but his heart was slightly shocked, and a warm worry sounded in his mind. Unexpectedly, she really hit it.
The Fourth Master felt a little complicated at this moment. He never thought that a little girl in the back house would be able to predict things like a god.
Fortunately, he did not ignore the warm worries at that time. The deployment of this period made the Fourth Master gradually calm down and he did not feel solemn and panic as suddenly recommended.
This errand is not easy to do, but if he retreats at the last minute, what will the emperor think of him?
What's the use of a prince with a turtle shrinking head?
The Fourth Master not only needs to take over, but also have a glorious future.
Not only should we go ahead, the Fourth Master also blatantly cultivate his own people.
There are long omens to this matter. This year, the Yellow River surged, more than a dozen river embankments broke, and millions of victims were displaced.
The Fourth Master was working in the Ministry of Revenue. When checking the money and grain, it was wrong. In a huge country, there was no food to adjust and no money to allocate.
That was because the Fourth Master had already written to the emperor, but the emperor kept keeping this matter, but collecting food and disaster relief from everywhere. It was because the emperor was secretly dismissed that no one in the court except the officials of the Ministry of Revenue had learned the truth about the national treasury.
The Fourth Master did not expect the emperor to do it at this time, after all, several months have passed.
The Fourth Master has summoned his aides in the study room these days and discussed the matter together. He slowly came to a conclusion that the emperor had reached the point where he had no money to use, and there was no way to recover the owed silver.
Why is the Ministry of Revenue empty?
That's because the national treasury silver was lent out by officials of all sizes!
Why do officials borrow silver?
This matter is said to be the emperor who was pitying an old minister for his poor life and asked him to lend him money to live. He did not expect that such a group of big rats would attract.
The treasury was vacancies, but the emperor had not expected it, and the Fourth Master had not expected it.
If he hadn't been on a job in the Ministry of Revenue, he would have been kept in the dark.
This matter cannot be said that the emperor is wrong to save the old ministers. Who is wrong?
This matter cannot make the emperor wrong, it cannot be the poor old minister at that time, and naturally it is not the wrong of the Ministry of Revenue, so it can only be the wrong person who borrowed the silver.
But it is not easy for such a group of people to borrow silver and want to take back the money.
Who would like to spit out the meat you eat from imported food?
This matter is destined to be a burning job, but once it is done well, it will be a great contribution, and the weight in the emperor's heart will naturally be different.
Now the Fourth Master has experienced so many things in recent years. When the prince refused to see him in the palace, the eighth Master's encouragement and the ambitious Prince Zhi had already made him understand that the younger brothers are now standing on the edge of the cliff.
Step forward and the abyss.
Take a step back and lose sovereignty.
And all he wanted to do was stand there steadily.
After resigning from the court, the ministers walked out one after another, like dogs chasing each with ugly expressions.
There were also groups of three or five whispering about today's events, and even observing the words and expressions surrounded the princes, which was extremely lively.
Kangxi returned to the bedroom and his expression was so deep that he could not see through the depth.
Liang Jiugong served him carefully and did not dare to take a wrong step, and his breathing slowed down.
The palace maid who served tea noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly retreated after serving tea.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and suddenly laughed, saying, "Tell me what you are doing today."
Liang Jiugong choked up, but he didn't dare to show his slightest look on his face. He said with a smile: "What can I know about the old slave? I dare not talk nonsense."
"You, there is no one here, we are the master and servant. Jiugong, you have been with me for the rest of your life, and you will tell the truth this time." Kangxi sighed lightly, and his expression showed a little fatigue.
Liang Jiugong trembled all over and almost knelt down. After finally stabilizing, he smiled bitterly, "How dare I argue with the major affairs of the government? The emperor insisted on the old slave saying that the old slave would dare to say something, and ask the emperor to forgive me."
"Don't talk nonsense, just say that." Kangxi chuckled.
Liang Jiugong looked at the emperor's smile and although he felt a little relaxed, he did not dare to be careless.
He has followed the emperor for the rest of his life and cannot guess what the emperor is thinking, and he dare not talk nonsense.
After calming down, Liang Jiugong spoke in a deep voice, "I don't know political affairs, I just look at the things going on today's court. It really surprised me that the Eighth Master and the court officials recommended the Fourth Master. The Fourth Master looked a little reluctant but still took on the errands. I thought about it and felt that it was interesting."
"Oh? Why are you surprised when Lao Ba recommends Lao Si?" Kangxi sat upright and looked at Liang Jiugong and asked.
Liang Jiugong never talks about right and wrong, and there are few things that make him conclude this way, and Kangxi also became a little interested.
Liang Jiugong said: "The Eighth Master has always been very famous and has a good reputation. I was a little surprised. I thought the Eighth Master would be willing to take on this job. I didn't expect to recommend the Fourth Master. After all, the Fourth Master has always been serious and serious outside. The collection of the arrears fell into his hands, which many people would not want to see."
Who would like to let the King of Hell collect debts? I think it's too long?
Kangxi gradually narrowed his eyes as he heard this, and after a long time he sneered, watching Liang Jiugong not say anything.
He knew Lao Ba’s thoughts, but he thought it was just an offending job, so he naturally didn’t want to do it.
Recommend the fourth brother?
Kangxi knew that Lao Ba and Lao Si were not very inconsistent, and the two brothers had almost the same temperament, and there were also some that could not be said together.
Kangxi was also a little disappointed. He thought Lao Ba would take the initiative to follow this matter, but he didn't expect that he would recommend Lao Si.
The fourth brother's temperament...
Kangxi sighed in his heart, this time this matter is probably going to be a big deal.
The eighth Lao recommended the fourth brother, but the fourth brother agreed again.
With the serious and rigorous personality of the fourth brother...
Kangxi didn't dare to think about how much this matter would be.
Lao Ba not only plotted against Lao Si, but even the emperor was set on fire.
But now, under such circumstances, he had to respond.
I feel angry.
But it cannot be expressed yet.
On the second day, the emperor issued an order to appoint the fourth prince Yinzhen to recover the debts of the treasury, from princes and nobles to civil and military officials, all those who owed the debts were paid within half a month. If there were any debts and refused to repay, the infantry commander's yamen will be arrested and recovered, and will never be neglected!
After Wen Xin learned about this, she sighed deeply. The errand fell on the Fourth Master.
Chapter completed!
