On the second floor, a young woman sat lazily by the window, looking towards the sea, with a weird and sly smile on her face.

A maid stood not far from her, lowered her head, and said: "Ma'am, Mr. Bi Ge has already gone to the pier. With his character, he will definitely do something, which will affect us. Our business is so big, it will be delayed for ten days." There will be a lot of losses in half a month, and the people below ask, do you want to do something?"

The young woman blinked, put her arms up, knocked her chin, and said lazily: "Someone is more worried than us, don't worry, Mrs. Chen is more anxious than us, go, send that gift, maybe you won't follow us so closely gone."

Chapter 1244 Nervous

When Bi Ziyan arrived at the port, he stood on an upstairs building, holding a telescope, and looked at the port ahead.

In the telescope, the canvas is like clouds, and the ships are like the sea, rushing out like crazy, swarming in, filling most of the sea.

These ships, big and small, are all in sight, and the total number is definitely over ten thousand!

If you add all the ports in various places and have not returned after going to sea, I am afraid that tens of thousands are still modest!

Standing behind Bi Ziyan was a businessman who was dressed gorgeously and had a lot of money. He looked at Bi Ziyan's back tremblingly, with a look of horror on his face.

Bi Ziyan looked at it for a long time, put down the binoculars, and said calmly: "How many ships will come and go here tomorrow? I want to be honest. If you tell me, I will check. If the gap is too big, I will raid your home."

The businessman was taken aback, and quickly raised his hand and said: "Caomin dare not, if you go back to the old man, the wharf of Shenlong Mansion is the largest in my Ming Dynasty, and it can accommodate [-] ships. [-], I belong to Ming Dynasty, the neighboring countries of Wa, Korea, Ryukyu, and even Xiyi..."

"One hundred thousand..."

Bi Ziyan was expressionless and whispered to himself.This is more than double the amount seen in the playbook!With 100 ships a year, even if the profit of a ship is 1000 taels, it is [-] million!

The one-year taxation of the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty is no more than this amount now!

If other commercial taxes such as salt, iron, tea and spices are added, the total may be as high as 5000 million taels!

5000 million taels, this is the tax for the fifth year of Ming Dynasty!There have never been so many in the Ming Dynasty!

How many things can such a large sum of money fly in?

Bi Ziyan raised his head and looked at the clear sky, his cloudy eyes gleamed brightly. After a long time, he sighed in his heart, "Your Majesty, where is your ambition?"

A group of people behind him watched Bi Ziyan speak, terrified and afraid to speak.

Everyone knows that Mr. Bi Ge hates businessmen. Now that the businessmen are so powerful, they must be very angry, right?

This man is about to retire, and the tiger is about to leave the mountain. At this juncture, who would dare to suffer?

After a long time, Elder Bi Ge turned around and said calmly: "Put on the official uniform, put on the guard of honor, and go to see Mrs. Chen."

The cabinet official was startled, and said, "My lord, are you here?"

If it was here, it would be obvious to tell Bumbutai that Bi Ziyan made a private visit to the Shenlong Mansion and had traveled so far.

Bi Ziyan waved his hand and said, "You'll know if you don't wave, so get ready."

Everyone woke up suddenly, and said more cautiously: "Yes."

As the "Chief Assistant", Bi Ziyan naturally had his guard of honor, plus the bodyguards and accompanying officials, there were more than 70 people, and they walked towards the center of Shenlong Mansion, where Bumbutai was located.

This move naturally surprised many people, especially Gong Yonggu, who had succeeded Zhang Guoji as the head of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the number two figure in the Dragon Mansion, was even more shocked.

Bi Ge's appearance in Shenlong Mansion was very abrupt to him. Many things were not prepared, and some things needed to be covered up by Bi Ziyan.

Gong Yonggu hurriedly led people, ready to meet Bi Ziyan.

Chen Niangniang's status is special, there is no reason to go out to greet her in person, so he is the only one to go.Although his son-in-law is not strong enough, he can withstand it for a while.

Just as he was about to leave, Bumbutai sent someone to call him.

When he arrived at Bumbutai's small building, Li Deyong was already there.

Gong Yonggu's expression was slightly stunned, and he said politely, "I've seen your empress."

Li Deyong stood aside, with his head down, expressionless.After so many years, he has also learned the truth of prudence.

Bumbutai looked at Gong Yonggu with a solemn expression, and pushed a letter.

Gong Yonggu took it curiously, opened it and looked at it, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Your Majesty, is this true?"

Gong Yonggu looked terrified and his hands were trembling.Because this letter is actually a report letter, and the above content is directed at the royal banker Zhengqing, Fu Tao!

It was alleged that the Royal Bank was laundering money secretly, laundering some shady silver, and the benefit was that those black merchants three, Fu Tao seven, the annual amount was no less than one million taels!

Some of these silver came from officials and gentry, some came from big households, and some even came from overseas!There are various purposes, some are black money, and some are for tax evasion!

Through the Royal Bank, these are all cleared up, some people have become newly rich and new, and some people have successfully gained a foothold in Daming.

The harm involved is self-evident, and what is even more frightening is that Fu Tao is directly involved in it!

Who is Fu Tao?The current emperor's cousin is responsible for the money bag of the emperor's treasurer, the Royal Bank. His father, Fu Changzong, is also the elder of the imperial court. He has been in the center for ten years.

If anyone in Ming Dynasty is the most difficult to defeat, it is undoubtedly Fu Changzong!

Bumubutai looked at Gong Yonggu's expression, his face was still calm, and said: "Eunuch Li checked it quietly, and [-]% of it is true."

Li Deyong bowed slightly and remained silent.He has been in the capital for a long time and is also an internal prisoner. Bumbutai here is no better than him who knows how deep the water in the capital is.

Either this matter will not be discovered, and once it is brought out publicly, the government and the public will definitely be shocked. In addition, at the time of the court's great change, it is unknown how many waves will be caused and how many people will be involved!

Gong Yonggu frowned, his back was drenched in cold sweat, and he was extremely scared.

Fu Tao, Fu Changzong, if these two fall, the emperor of Qianqing Palace doesn't know how to be angry, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

Gong Yonggu's eyes flickered for a while, and he looked up at Bumbutai, his tone was jerky, and he said: "Mother, can you still... hold on to this matter?"

Bumbutai knew what he meant, and said, "It was sent by someone with a heart."

Gong Yonggu understood what he meant, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Mother, this matter is no small matter. If you can't suppress it, let the emperor know as soon as possible, otherwise... the sky will collapse!"

Li Deyong looked at Gong Yonggu so indifferently, frowned, glanced at Bumbutai, and said slowly in an extremely flat tone: "Master Fu is not covering the sky with one hand in the Royal Bank. It won't be that simple to launder so much money, and the household department... can't get around it."

There are rules and regulations for the money coming in and going out of the Royal Bank. It has to be checked every month, and there is an audit at the end of the year. If you want to hide the truth, the most important part is the household department!

Such a thing can only happen if the household department is blind.

The corner of Gong Yonggu's mouth twitched fiercely. He is not Xiaobai, so he couldn't hear what Li Deyong said, his legs were trembling, and he said in horror: "Eunuch Li means that Zhang Shangshu is also involved?"

Zhang Bingwen, Minister of the Household Department, was a colleague of Fu Changzong's and was also recommended by Fu Changzong. The outside world said that Zhang Bingwen was Fu Changzong's confidant, and the Household Department always belonged to the Fu family.

If it is said that Fu Tao or Fu guy and Zhang Bingwen laundered money and carried out corruption between the royal bank and the household department, no one would believe it!

Bumubutai looked at Gong Yonggu, it was useless not to care about him, and said directly: "Old Bi Ge has already arrived at Shenlong Mansion, I don't know if he saw this letter, but if he did..."

Bi Ziyan's mind is a little unpredictable now, and the atmosphere in the cabinet is very delicate. If Mr. Bi Ge takes this opportunity to do something, things will be even more unimaginable.
