Obtain the divine power at the beginning
Chapter 529 Who is hotter and more poisonous (page 529)
After Shi Tianyu inspected the problems at the construction site in the new city for a while, he led the crowd back to the government office. He found Wei Xueyan, He Xiangu and Juping already sitting in the inner hall drinking tea, and he knew they were there to ask for money.
So, without waiting for Wei Xueyan to speak, Shi Tianyu said to Jiang Xiao: "Take these two gentlemen to the government treasury immediately, count the silver, pack the boxes, and let these two gentlemen take the silver back to Kyoto."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at Juping and He Xiangu.
It is not convenient to reveal the true identities of Juping and He Xiangu, we can only say these two adults.
Jiang Xiao had also met Wei Xueyan, Juping and He Xiangu before, but he didn't know the true identities of these three people.
~~
Wei Xueyan said: "I don't want cash. This time, there are only three of us. The other masters escorted His Majesty back to Kyoto. The three of us don't have the ability to protect so much cash.
At present, robbers are everywhere in the northwest and the Central Plains. Lord Shi, you should exchange the silver notes for me. I will exchange them for cash when I return to Kyoto. Give me one million taels of silver, and I will not bother you for half a year. "
Jiang Xiao was shocked and thought: Who are they? How can they be so arrogant? They want a million taels of silver. Oh my God! Who are they?
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Now, there should be more than 200,000 taels of silver in the government treasury. You ask He Xiangu and Ju Ping to go with Jiang Xiao to the government treasury to withdraw 200,000 taels of silver and deposit them in the Fucheng branch of the Heheng Chain Bank to exchange them for Tongchai silver bills.
Anyway, I will give the Jinyiwei Office two million taels of silver this year. I will send it to you in Kyoto later, okay?"
~~
Wei Xueyan stood up and said with a smile: "Is the Fucheng government really so poor?" Her smile was very bright, especially her two deep dimples, which were particularly charming. Anyone who saw her charm could not help but want to kiss her.
Jiang Xiao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, as if he smelled something.
~~
Shi Tianyu laughed and said, "Haven't you heard of the saying that March is poor and April is poor? In addition, who came up with the new revision of the Ming Dynasty Law to severely restrict the development of industry and commerce?
If this continues, the entire Ming Dynasty will become even poorer in the future. This rule is intended to dig into the Ming Dynasty court. Will His Majesty allow these pig-brains to dig into the Ming Dynasty court? Okay, no more nonsense. Let's go. I'll take you to the government treasury to see if there are really only more than 200,000 taels of silver now."
~~
Wei Xueyan shook her head and said, "Forget it. I won't go to the government treasury. I believe you. However, the money raised by the wealthy merchants in Fucheng for you should be almost enough. You also asked Zhuo Shicai, Yan Linshi, and Yao Luyang to reduce the rent of 600,000 tenants for half a year. How will the Fucheng government survive in the future? Do you have any better ideas besides continuing to break Wang Chao's legs?"
Later on, he harshly mocked Shi Tianyu for his unscrupulous behavior in taking advantage of others.
Shi Tianyu immediately took out the confession of Wang Chao's family from his bosom, handed it to Wei Xueyan, and said jokingly: "I know you feel sorry for your brother Wang Chao. Look at how greedy your brother Wang Chao is. How long has he been in office in Fucheng? Humph!"
He also ridiculed Wei Xueyan harshly.
Wei Xueyan rolled her eyes at Shi Tianyu, but couldn't help but curiously open the confession and read it.
~~
He Xiangu and Juping came closer to take a look. After reading it, they both angrily cursed Wang Chao as a good-for-nothing and called him a parasite in the Ming Dynasty.
Wei Xueyan blushed immediately and felt very embarrassed.
Shi Tianyu laughed and said, "Wang Chao relies on the support of Jiu Qian Sui and has always ignored me, the prefect. I have tolerated him for a long time. If he does it again, I will chop off his dog head and hang it on the south gate of the city."
Wei Xueyan returned the confession of Wang Chao's family to Shi Tianyu, and asked with a smile: "I don't care about these dirty things. When will you bring me a million taels of silver notes in Kyoto? The office is almost out of money again."
~~
Shi Tianyu put away his confession and said with emotion: "I want to marry you, but the fee is really expensive. I have given you several million taels of silver. If it goes on like this, I really dare not marry you. Okay, half a month. When the time comes, I will go to Kyoto to find you, or ask the Eagle Detective Xie Wen to send the Tongchao silver notes to you."
Wei Xueyan's pretty face flushed, but she didn't say anything. She glared at Shi Tianyu and turned away. He Xiangu and Ju Ping smiled at Shi Tianyu and put the two boxes of gold bricks that Shi Tianyu had brought to them in the inner hall.
He Xiangu whispered, "The princess doesn't want your personal money. Don't think about her either. Her marriage is decided by the Emperor. You can take the money back." After that, she followed Wei Xueyan.
Shi Tianyu waved to Jiang Xiao, signaling Jiang Xiao to escort Wei Xueyan and others out of the court.
Then, when Jiang Xiao turned around, Shi Tianyu floated the two boxes of gold bricks back to the large treasury in the system space. He was also thinking about how to raise food and money next. It was no longer realistic to levy taxes on those wealthy merchants. We couldn't exhaust all the resources.
Suddenly, I thought of the mines and mine supervisors in Anzi County.
~~
Jiang Xiao returned to the inner hall and asked in confusion: "Master Shi, who are those three girls? Do they manage our government office? Why should we give them two million taels of silver? Our money is not easy to come by!"
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "The handsome young man who was dressed as a man just now was Yang Youcai, the commander of the Jinyiwei. He Xiangu and Juping were his followers. Tell me, if we don't please them, do we dare to fight the dynasty? The Jinyiwei are omnipresent. There may be Jinyiwei disguised as public servants in our government office. Our every move is under the surveillance of these public servants who are disguised as us. Moreover, the Jinyiwei has the power of investigation, arrest, imprisonment, punishment, and execution first and report later. It is a special permission from the emperor. There is no way, we have to give in.
After Yang Youcai took office as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he was quite good. He did not arrest many officials. Of course, he did arrest some corrupt officials, but he never wrongly accused any good officials. Moreover, he made great contributions to the suppression of the underworld gangs.
Therefore, Commander Yang knows everything about our actions. Moreover, I am the deputy director of the Jinyiwei Office. In other words, I am in charge of finances in the Jinyiwei Office.
When I was in Guxiang County the year before last, I gave the Jinyiwei Office about 700,000 to 800,000 taels of silver. Last year, our government gave the Jinyiwei Office more than 2 million taels of silver.
This year, I will give it to them as well. This is my duty and it is also to avoid any trouble in the future. You know that the Jinyiwei can arrest and kill people at will.
When we do practical things for the people, we sometimes violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, this new Ming Dynasty law was not made by humans, especially those Donglin people, they are all crazy, they are all sick, on the surface they are so-called upright officials of the court, but in private, they are all digging into the corners of my Ming Dynasty court!"
Jiang Xiao screamed and was stunned.
Shi Tianyu walked out of the inner hall and came to the court to continue reviewing official documents.
~~
After finally getting rid of the "God of Plague", other things happened.
"Master Shi, something terrible has happened!"
At this time, Liu Laifu rode into the court to report, which showed how serious the situation was. However, Shi Tianyu remained calm and composed. He was used to it. He sat in the court, reviewing official documents while asking without raising his head: "What's the matter?"
