Chapter 540 The Beginning of the Inventory
Chapter 540 The Beginning of the Inventory
The next day.
Household classes.
A middle-aged official looked at Fang Yi straightly with a sullen face and said, "The Prime Minister has an order:
The accounts of the Ministry of War in recent years have been handed over to Mr. Fang for verification.
I also hope that Mr. Fang will spend more time, and the review must be completed before the end of the month. "
"Wang Shilang don't worry, my nephew will definitely do his best."
Fang Yi clasped his fists in return.
He secretly glanced at the six guards standing beside him.
Apparently his "impartial" father was not at ease with his character.
Wang Shilang showed a smile when he saw it, and said with deep meaning: "The Prime Minister arranges for the nephew to come, and the nephew should understand what the Prime Minister means.
Our military department just lost face yesterday, and we really can't stand such a toss.
If it's a small matter, I hope my nephew will let me know in advance, and give me a chance to make amends.
However, if the matter is too serious, my nephew can immediately report it to His Majesty, so there is no need to take risks for us. "
"This……"
Fang Yizhi was troubled when he heard the words, he doubted whether the words really meant what Fang Xuanling meant.
But meeting Wang Shilang's earnest gaze, it's not easy for him to delve into it at this moment.
"Wang Shilang don't worry, my nephew has made a note."
……
at the same time.
Chang'an and Wannian counties also ushered in business trips at the same time.
Feng Shu sat in the first place with a calm face, but the fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly.
After all, as a Beijing official, who can guarantee that he is clean and flawless?
Even if you want to be the master of the people with two sleeves in your heart, but the world is like this, the only end of not wanting to be with the light is to ruin your reputation.
After all, there are two official characters, and honest and corrupt officials are just decided by the superiors.
Even if you are diligent and innocent on weekdays, when the people in power who control public opinion want you to be a corrupt official, you are not!
And this has been the case throughout the ages, no matter who is in power, it cannot be changed.
Perhaps in the ancient times when imperial power was supreme, meeting a wise emperor who monopolized power would be a bit more innocent than later generations.
"Who will check the accounts in Wannian County?"
After calming down for a while, Feng Shu asked suddenly.
Liu An was startled when he heard the words, and replied puzzledly: "It is said that it is the grandson of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Wang Ju is investigating.
But my lord.
You are the magistrate of Chang'an County now, so what does Wannian County have to do with your lord? "
"Humph!
What do you do with someone? !
madness! "
Feng Shu scolded angrily, and said with a headache: "I was just transferred to the county magistrate of Chang'an a few months ago, and this investigation is for the accounts within three years.
Although the official had handed over to Zhu County Magistrate when he left office, there was no guarantee that he would not bite me back if something happened. "
"what?
What can I do? "
Liu An was anxious when he heard the words, he is now Feng Shu's confidant.
The two are both prosperous and both are prosperous, and both are lost.
If Feng Shu was falsely accused, he would definitely not get any benefit.
"What a panic!"
Seeing Liu An like this.
Feng Shu frowned and thought about it carefully, then said in a low voice: "You and I are both His Royal Highness's people, so His Highness must never cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Just wait with peace of mind, His Highness must have other arrangements. "
"This……
Ugh!
That's all. "
……
Liu An sighed sadly, and Zhu Jie, the county magistrate of Wannian, who was tens of miles away, also sighed helplessly.
He doesn't have a big family like Feng Shu, so if he wants to survive in the capital, his hands and feet will naturally not be too clean.
"Butler, is there a proper arrangement for the accountant?"
Hearing this, the butler raised his head and said confidently, "Master, don't worry.
The disobedient little ones have been sent to clean up, and the ones left are all the confidantes of the government.
And those with small accounts have already been redone, so no one will see the clues. "
"That's good, that's good!"
County Magistrate Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard and sighed: "The servant of the Ministry of War was sent to jail just now by His Majesty, it seems that His Majesty is really serious about this.
If someone finds out the clues, neither you nor I can escape the guillotine! "
"My lord, you don't have to worry."
The butler straightened up when he heard the words, and said with a flattering expression: "I heard that the people who came to check the accounts today are all students of the Academy of Sciences.
How could such inexperienced people find out the secrets in the account books.
The master just waits patiently, within three days he will return without success! "
"Hey~
There is some truth in what you said.
His Majesty is really a bit...
Hehe~”
Magistrate Zhu stroked his beard and smiled, instantly sweeping away the haze in his heart.
In his opinion, only Li Tai in the Academy of Sciences is worthy of use, and the rest are just dudes from famous families.
It is expected that these people will check the accounts, and I am afraid that it will take a year and a half to make a plan.
"housekeeper.
You sons have worked hard to check the accounts, so go to the restaurant and order a banquet.
Remember, don't be extravagant, just order ordinary food.
As for the deadline, it should be half a year.
If the young masters haven't found out by then, it won't be too late for you to make an appointment in the second half of the year.
Hahaha~"
"Master is wise!"
……
"Humph!"
Zhu County Magistrate's response was sent to the accountant by his own entourage.
Wang Ju snorted angrily when he heard the words, and couldn't help but speed up his fingers moving the abacus.
Originally, he was thinking about whether to cover up one or two things for him, but now it seems that it is better to let the county magistrate Zhu who underestimated him die.
"On the first day of April, the government servants' salary will be paid fifty guan...
There are probably more yamen servants in Chang'an County than in the Imperial Palace! "
"April [-]th, buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
A total of ten copper coins will be paid...
hehe~
I'm afraid Shang Shusheng is not as good as it! "
"April……"
"May……"
While Wang Ju was recording, the corners of his mouth curled up in a contemptuous sneer.
Seeing this, the dozens of accompanying guards all opened their mouths wide in surprise.
A few days ago, the officials of the household department checked the accounts, and they also accompanied and monitored the whole process, so they naturally heard a little about the difficulty.
In everyone's mind, Wang Ju will definitely sit idle in the account room for half a day today, and get familiar with the account books of Wannian County first.
Even if something is gained, it will take at least ten days.
But now, less than a stick of incense has passed, and Wang Ju has already discovered so many loopholes.
Could it be that Zhu Jie, the county magistrate of Wannian, is stupid?
Don't you know how to cover up such an obvious mistake?
"Come on!"
When everyone was astonished, Wang Ju proudly put down his brush, raised his head and shouted loudly.
Seeing this, the accompanying guards tentatively stepped forward and responded, "Young Master Wang, are you done with the investigation now?"
"nature……
No! "
Wang Ju was in a good mood, and made fun of him casually.
Seeing that the head of the guards was dissatisfied, he just smiled leisurely and said: "But this account book alone is enough to arrest County Magistrate Zhu and put him in prison!
After you finish your official duties, my son will invite you to go to Qingfeng Pavilion to have fun!
Hahaha~"
"This……
Is Wang Gongzi's statement true? "
The leader of the guards asked solemnly.
Wang Ju was taken aback when he heard the words, and the wild laughter stopped abruptly.
"Are you suspecting that my son is short of money?
This is a mere Qingfeng Pavilion, this young master can still afford it! "
"My lord misunderstood, I have absolutely no such intention!"
The leader of the guards waved his hands again and again, and said with a wry smile: "I just want to ask, my lord, are you really sure that the county magistrate Zhu will be convicted?
It takes ten days and a half months for the household department to check the accounts, young master, this is too fast. "
"Oh~
How can the Ministry of Finance be compared with the Academy of Sciences! "
Wang Ju's expression slowed down when he heard this, and he proudly raised his head and said, "If King Wei came here today, he would be able to see the clue at a glance!
Even if Du Gou and others come, it only takes a cup of tea!
If it weren't for the fact that my son likes to play on weekdays, he wouldn't need to spend so much effort today.
You think that this department can be compared with our Academy of Sciences. "
"cannot!
Of course not!
Hehe~”
The leader of the guards smiled wryly when he heard the words, and shook his head helplessly in agreement.
It's just that if this sentence is spread, the officials of the household department may lose face.
