There are not only Heshen in the Palace of Yangxin, but also three officials, including Minister of War Yiletu, Minister of the Ministry of War Ji Yun, and Minister of the Cabinet Songgui.

Heshen did not see the content of the secret copy, so he did not know what the emperor said about the crime.

"I'm confused."

Qianlong handed Heshen the secret letter of Jia Jiashikai, the new Sichuan Admiral and Banner-Official Guerrilla Leader, and signaled to Yiletu, Ji Yun and Songgui to look at it, and then talked about his views on the crimes.

Ji Yun, who had finished reading the first, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not advisable to use money to replace the crime."

Qianlong looked at Ji Yun, who was often called a prostitute by him, and did not get angry. He just asked him lightly: "Why is it not advisable?"

Ji Yun now mentioned the disadvantages of this system. It is nothing more than that if Agui deliberately rebelled, Agui's party members in the Jinchuan army should be punished strictly. Now the Sichuan Admiral is going to commit money instead of crimes. Isn't it clear that the court is not right or wrong?

Moreover, once this system begins, it will definitely make the military strong and the officials and generals at the top and bottom will become more unscrupulous.

Qianlong did not speak.

What Ji Yun said makes sense, but it doesn't suit his wishes.

Whether Agui really has the intention to rebel, why Fullerhun killed Agui without asking for an order, and whether Fu Chang'an's death was done by Agui, there are too many doubts.

This is also the reason why he recalled Fullerhun to question him in person.

Before finding out the truth, rashly investigating and prosecuting Agui's remaining party will not only be of no help, but will also shake the army and will not be in line with the interests of the court.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is feasible!"

The person who spoke was the brother-in-law of the Minister of War Yiletu and the governor of Sichuan Fullerhun.

Qianlong said: "Tell me, look."

"The slave thinks that as the Sichuan Admiral said, the current stability in the Jinchuan army is greater than anything else. If the Agui party members can voluntarily pay the silver instead of his crime, the emperor will not be able to pursue the investigation, and the impact of the Agui rebellion will be minimized."

Although he is Fullerhun's brother-in-law, as the Minister of War, Yiletu still needs to focus on the overall situation. The top priority at the moment is not to pursue A Gui and his accomplices, but to stabilize the 100,000 troops of Jinchuan.

This statement is very consistent with Qianlong's wishes. He nodded and asked the cabinet scholar Songgui what he meant. As a result, the cabinet scholar actually knelt down and said, "The emperor is wise!"

It amused Qianlong: "What did I say, just say I am wise?"

Songgui looked up and said, "The emperor said that the silver was originally the emperor's money. I think the emperor was right!"

Qianlong pondered.

Tens of millions of taels of silver were thrown into a palm-sized place in Jinchuan. Where did the silver go?

It is said that all the civil and military officials in Jinchuan are as honest as water, and Qianlong himself doesn't believe it.

So, isn’t this crime of crime just to take back the money allocated by the emperor?

"I think that all officials, regardless of the flag and Han Dynasty, will inevitably have occasional mistakes or be confused for a moment. If they are dismissed from office and investigated, who can take over the work? Could it be that all the officials of Manchu and Han Dynasty should be eliminated?"

Qianlong determined that the matters in Jinchuan would no longer be investigated, and all the members could not be implicated in the name of eliminating Agui's remaining party, and the Military Affairs Office immediately drafted an order.

After drafting the imperial edict, he looked at Heshen again: "I think this statement about the crime of the crime is quite new. You have been in the Ministry of Revenue for some time. Tell me what you think."

Heshen's feeling was not fresh, but a very familiar feeling. With his cleverness, how could he not know the disadvantages of this system? But seeing that the emperor seemed to support this system, he moved his heart and said, "When I go back to the emperor, I think the matter of controversial crimes should not be implemented before the Jinchuan army, and can also be promoted nationwide. Half of the controversial crimes paid by the criminal officials are left to the public for public use to benefit the people in the country and half of them are filled in the treasury, thinking that the country urgently needs them."

It is also said that in the 40 years since the emperor ascended the throne, he has given kindness to the world. He has waived money and grain from the world four times and grain from the provinces twice. When encountering water, he has been willing to spend millions of money on the national treasury to provide disaster relief. All the people in the world are grateful.

Now the national treasury is short of silver due to war, and the internal treasury is in deficit every year. It is time to take some urgent measures to alleviate the urgent difficulties of the country's lack of money.

"Emperor, in the past, the imperial court has also had cases of officials who have committed criminals, but this amount is pursued by the Ministry of Revenue, and those who pursue it are often slackened."

Heshen further suggested that the right to confiscate the crimes shall be subject to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then part of the treasury shall be allocated according to the amount of the cash register, so as to prevent the Ministry of Revenue from receiving payment process that is not transparent enough and may cause corruption.

"Well said!"

Qianlong was happy to hear that, and actually said to Heshen: "You go to be the chief supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and take charge of the bank treasury of the Guangshu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and go to the Military Affairs Office to discuss the crime next month. You can discuss with Yinglian and draw a specific charter for me."

After saying that, he thought about it and added, "Also, the actual amount of the disputed bank cannot be determined."

Not sure the actual amount?

Heshen was stunned and confused: "What does the emperor mean?"

Qianlong said: "If the criminal officials pay a lot of money for the crime, I want them to decide for themselves and ask me to pay the amount for them. Wouldn't that mean I'm asking them for money?"

After hearing this, Yiletu and the other two were shocked. The emperor was so scared that he was so scared!

If you pay the actual amount, you should pay as much as you should. There is always a charter to follow.

This is not a real amount to pay, but it is unlimited for the perpetrators.

Should I pay 10,000,000, or 1 million?

How much to pay to satisfy the emperor?

To put it in a difficult way, the emperor is shameless.

But who dares to say that the emperor is shameless?

Because they are shameless, either.

Ji Yun, a scholar of the Shishishi, saw that the system of crimes was about to be promulgated, and saw that the emperor was so short of money, he knelt down on the ground and said with a panic look on his face: "Your Majesty, when I was searching and dispersing from the "Yongle Encyclopedia" in the National History Museum, I accidentally destroyed several volumes of the book. Please punish yourself for 5,000 taels of silver to enter the treasury to warn yourself!"

Qianlong was stunned and waved his hand: "It's accurate, don't be so careless again in the future."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Ji Yun quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

This surprised Songgui, the cabinet scholar next to him, and had no time to think about it and had to kowtow: "Your Majesty, please punish yourself!"

Qianlong was surprised: "Songgui, what mistake did you make?"

Songgui said with a look of uneasiness that when he was watching the emperor's memorials at home yesterday, he accidentally dropped the incense ash on the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials of the memorials

"Every time I think about this, I feel that I am disrespectful to the emperor. I did not dare to tell the emperor before that since there is a silver for the crime today, I would like to fine him 30,000 taels of silver, and to strictly discipline myself and serve the court at the same time."

Qianlong was stunned for a long time, but asked Songgui: "Your family has 30,000 taels?"

"minister"

Songgui thought that he would be too bad, but he said the numbers, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Even if I sell houses and land, I should pay this 30,000 taels!"

"No need to do this, you are also unintentional. I allow you to fine 10,000 taels of silver. How can you sell your house and land?"

After saying that, Qianlong looked at Heshen, "Leave this matter to you."

"Yeah!"

Heshen responded, but his family had no money, and that little salary was not enough to cover the expenses.

A small official from the Ministry of Revenue tried to give him a gift two days ago, but he scolded him so much that he was so angry.

In Daping, Sichuan Admiral Jia Jia's husband is studying the quality of shrouds.

The shroud was sent by Yang Yuchun's father Yang Tingdong and several brothers from his family. There were a total of ten carriages and more than four thousand pieces.

If the product quality is not mentioned, it looks very much like the so-called Tang suit.

“Not bad, not bad.”

The Admiral had read a few of them and expressed his satisfaction. He asked Yang Tingdong how much the unit price of these shrouds, birthday hats and birthday shoes sets.

Yang Tingdong hurriedly quoted the price, saying that it only costs one tael or two coins of silver for a set.

"One tael or two cents?"

The Admiral's smile immediately stopped.

This scared Yang Tingdong and quickly said that if the Admiral thought it was expensive, he could be reduced to more than ten cents.

They are also small-scale transactions, and they mobilized many people to process and make them by hand, but they really didn't have much profit.

"No good product is cheap!"

The Admiral smiled and waved his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "These shrouds are for the fallen soldiers, and they are their last decent. This matter is not only a major event for the Admiral, but also a major event for the court. How can you make up for it inexpensive goods? I think you will have at least five taels of silver per set."

After saying that, he looked at the governor and asked, "Is it not too much to report fifty taels to the Ministry of Revenue?"
