Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 720 Inspecting Taicang Silver

   Soon, Zhu Pingan heard the sound of footsteps, and then saw Li Shu, the Second Miss of the Hou Mansion and others walking into the study with unfriendly expressions.

   "I'm talking about Brother Rui. I took off Brother Rui's clothes, changed his clothes and went to bed. His clothes got dirty when he ate ice bowls."

   Facing the glaring Li Shu and the others, Zhu Pingan hurriedly explained in sweat, almost swearing to the sky.

"Brother Rui, how did you say that you asked the second sister to take off her clothes and come to bed with you?" Li Shu glared at Zhu Ping angrily, showing her small canine teeth, as if Zhu Ping would not give a reasonable explanation. He rushed forward and bit Zhu Ping'an twice.

   The little maid of Baozi looked at Zhu Ping'an with complicated eyes, with resentment mixed with resentment.

  Second Miss of the Hou Mansion blushed, her eyes filled with mist, as if she was about to burst into tears in the next second.

  Brother Rui hid behind the Second Miss of the Hou Mansion, with a small fat face and two small eyes, secretly looking at Zhu Ping'an.

"Khan, Brother Rui was about to go to bed just now. I saw that his clothes were full of milk and water stains. I thought that the second sister brought Brother Rui here just now, so I should have a change of clothes, so I said to him, 'Go to your second sister. Sister, ask your elder sister to take off her clothes and come to bed. I’m talking about asking the second sister to change Rui’s clothes and then let him go to bed.” Zhu Pingan pointed at the bear child speechlessly, and said frankly .

   "Is that so, Brother Rui?" Li Shu looked at the bear boy and asked.

"My brother-in-law just refused to let me go to bed, and said, 'Tell your sister to take off her clothes before going to bed'. I thought my brother-in-law was asking my second sister to take off her clothes and go to bed." Said without restraint.

   Well, Brother Rui made a mistake.

   After listening to Zhu Ping'an's explanation and getting confirmation from Xiongzi, Li Shu and others came to a conclusion.

   At this point, the misunderstanding was resolved, and Zhu Pingan was finally not labeled as molesting his sister-in-law, otherwise Zhu Pingan would have no face to stay in Linhuaihou's mansion.

  Although the misunderstanding was resolved, the Second Miss of the Hou Mansion was a little embarrassed, and she found an excuse to leave after only staying for a while.

   "Hehe, come here, Brother Rui."

  Looking at the innocent boy, Zhu Pingan smiled "mildly" and rubbed his wrist.

  The next morning, when it was still dark outside, Zhu Ping'an got up and went straight to Xiyuan Wuyi Store.

  The focus of the cabinet's work is still around the court meeting the night before yesterday.

  Yuan Wei came to Wuyi today, proudly wearing the green hat bestowed by Emperor Jiajing, proudly in front of Zhu Pingan.

  Yuan Wei had reasons to be complacent in front of Zhu Pingan.

  The Ming Dynasty set up important military defense towns along the Great Wall to protect the safety of the Central Plains. From Liaodong Town in the east to Gansu Town in the west, a total of nine military towns were set up, which were called "nine sides" in history. The "nine sides" are Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, and Gansu Town.

Today, Yuan Wei was announced by Emperor Jiajing to go to Xiyuan to perform a performance, and he was taught the opportunity face-to-face. Then he was appointed by Emperor Jiajing as an envoy to investigate the nine borders. The two towns investigate the use of military pay, border trimming, relief and other expenses. If embezzlement is found, they have the right to kill first and then act.

  The Xuanfu and Datong towns surveyed by Yuan Wei and others are the two towns with the most military expenditures on the Nine Frontiers, and they are also the main towns for defending the northern captive Altan Khan, so the matter is of great importance.

  Yuan Wei and others are equivalent to imperial envoys, somewhat similar to modern inspection teams.

On the other hand, Yuan Wei was appointed by Emperor Jiajing as the envoy of the Nine Frontier Surveys, and he was the main person in charge of this survey. The two officials and the two supervisory censors were under his control, which was equivalent to the leader of the inspection team. The scenery is infinite.

  Of course, there is another reason why Yuan Wei is arrogant in front of Zhu Pingan.

  Zhu Ping'an was also assigned work today. Compared with Yuan Wei, the powerful inspection team leader, Zhu Ping'an was the most inconspicuous member of the team.

   During the court meeting last night, Emperor Jiajing not only mentioned the Nine Frontiers to verify military expenditures, but also sealed up the Taicang bank.

  Today, Emperor Jiajing announced his intention to seal up the Taicang bank—to inspect the Taicang bank.

  Taicang Bank Inspection Team was established at the same time as Yuan Wei and his nine-border inspection team.

Liu Guangzuo, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials of the third rank, served as the chief inspector of the Taicang Bank, and Qu Tongyang, You Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who was the fourth rank, served as the deputy inspector of the Taicang Bank. There are Gao Rui, a doctor in the Office of Siwu, Zhu Pingan, a sixth-rank attendant at the Imperial Academy, and Sinan, a seventh-rank supervisory censor.

  Speaking of which, Zhu Ping'an is not the lowest official among them, but although the supervisory censor, Sinan, has a low official position, he is very powerful, and he is also well-known among the speech officials. Relatively speaking, Zhu Ping'an was the most inconspicuous member of the Taicang bank inspection team this time, almost a follower of soy sauce.

  Zhu Ping'an didn't know how he got into the Taicang Bank Inspection Team. He just joined Wuyi Zongsizhi today, and he was notified of the appointment.

  Anyway, it was not the one handpicked by Emperor Jiajing.

   It is precisely because the contrast is so sharp that Yuan Wei is so proud in front of Zhu Pingan.

   All right, I see your cuckold.

  Is it necessary to be so proud?

  Zhu Pingan slandered Yuan Wei, who was dangling around.

Emperor Jiajing attached great importance to the inspection of the Taicang bank. Just after taking the "elixir", Emperor Jiajing came wearing a blue Taoist robe. In fact, although Emperor Jiajing did not go to court, he still treated the government. Very caring.

  Emperor Jiajing probably just took the refined "elixir", his complexion was abnormally ruddy, and his green cloth Taoist robe fluttered.

  Emperor Jiajing summoned the Nine Frontier Survey and Taicang Bank Inspection Teams in the cabinet.

As a member of the Taicang Bank Inspection Team, Zhu Pingan listened to the hadith. Emperor Jiajing attached great importance to the inspection of the Taicang Bank. , official salary, military salary, or the supply of internal treasury, disaster relief and relief to the people, all cannot do without the support of the Taicang Bank.

   I have to say that Emperor Jiajing was a genius.

  While emphasizing the importance of this inspection, Emperor Jiajing also set up a cross-audit system. Starting this year, the Taicang Bank will be inspected every other year, with different members of the inspection team each time.

  This year is Zhu Ping'an and the other five, but I don't know who will be next time. The only thing that is certain is that it will definitely not be the five of them.

  If this time they falsified or perfunctory, then the next time the treasury is inspected, it is very likely that it will be revealed.

   This is where Emperor Jiajing's power schemes excelled.

   "Your Majesty, don't blame me."

  Emperor Jiajing glanced at the five people one by one for the last time, his eyes were sharp, and the whole hall was filled with supreme coercion for a moment. It was not until Zhu Pingan and others were sweating on their backs that Emperor Jiajing said something sinister.
