Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

"His Royal Highness, the lower officials have wronged you!"

Hu Shining is an old fox, and he knows very well that he must not back down at this time. If he admits it, he will not only bleed, but he may even leave a handle, and even lose his life. At his age, he has eaten Perhaps there is more salt than Wanyan Xu has eaten, and most of his body has been buried in the soil. He has already seen the ways of the world, and thinks that he will not be frightened by a fledgling yellow-mouthed child.

Wan Yanxu watched Hu Shining put on airs with cold eyes, and sneered in his heart.

Some people!If you don’t give up until you reach the Yellow River, and don’t shed tears when you see the coffin, when dealing with this kind of people, you don’t need to talk nonsense with them, just follow what Wan Yanchuo said, and directly present the evidence, the ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain, let these people be as clever as a tongue , and there is no way to quibble.

"Which year did Master Hu become a Jinshi?" Wan Yanxu knew it clearly, but he wanted to ask Hu Shining instead: "If I remember correctly, Master Hu has been in charge of the salt administration for about thirty years."

Hu Shining's complexion changed, and he nodded awkwardly.

Wan Yanxu took a sip from his teacup, and said with a smile, "It is rumored that Mr. Hu confiscated a batch of private salt at the border dispute between the Jin and Song Dynasties last month. Is there such a thing?"

Hu Shining's face became more and more ugly, but the old fox didn't continue to die. He knew that His Royal Highness, the emperor's eldest grandson, dared to question him so swearingly. I underestimated this yellow-mouthed kid, he really came prepared.

"His Royal Highness is really well-informed..." He neither admitted nor denied, it really is a man who has grown old, Hu Shining's move is to retreat, but he wants to see what kind of wishful thinking Wanyan Xu is planning.

"Before I came here, I checked the account books submitted by Mr. Hu to the court, but I didn't find any records about this batch of private salt. That is to say, Mr. Hu did not hand over this batch of private salt to the treasury. Can Mr. Hu explain? Now, why is this? The whereabouts of the private salt in seven or eight carriages is unknown, and there is no written record, so it just evaporated from the world. Does Mr. Hu really think that this matter can be done without anyone noticing it?" Wan Yanxu purposely made his words very clear. He wanted to clearly tell Hu Shining and his henchmen that, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he was ordered to come here to raise funds for disaster relief. Whether you like it or not, you must obediently hand it over! "My ancestors used to say that if you want people not to know, you have to do nothing unless you do nothing about it. There are gods who raise their heads three feet. Anyone who walks by will leave traces. Master Hu really thinks that the court can't find anything, right? It was the ill-gotten gains made by confiscating private salt in the border market last month, at least two to three hundred thousand taels. Even if you don’t divide it up and down, Mr. Hu can at least steal 30+ taels of silver Into his own private account, so calculated, Mr. Hu is really good at making money! Admire, admire!"

A few words, every sentence meant something, insinuated, pointed and scolded, all the officials present were guilty of thieves, and all of them couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat. Secretly thinking about what His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson meant when he said these words, if he just wanted money and food, then it would be easy to do, if he had collected enough money, he would just hand it over, and it would be considered as giving up money to avoid disaster, and buying an amulet to calm people's hearts.What I'm afraid of is that His Royal Highness, the emperor's eldest grandson, came prepared, playing Xiang Zhuang's sword dance with the intention of Peigong, on the surface he was ordered to come here to raise funds for disaster relief, but in fact he planned to use this as an excuse to drastically rectify the local personnel and government affairs , when the time comes, I am afraid it will not be as simple as giving up money and avoiding disaster.

"There are also two adults who are in charge of the copper government and the iron government. As important officials of the court, they have a good character and great knowledge, but they secretly colluded with each other and worked together for a long time to sell the copper and iron of the court. Filled with private pockets, for decades, unscrupulously. It is not because of my slander, the two adults must have moved a lot of money into their own private accounts over the years, right? Otherwise, there is no way to hang out with brothel prostitutes all day long Together, eating, drinking, having fun, spending a lot of money, such a romantic and elegant thing, just thinking about it makes people enviable." As soon as the subject changed, Wanyan Xu's face suddenly changed, and he reprimanded softly: "The reason why I took so much trouble to say so much is because I just want to remind you adults, don’t give three points to open a dyeing workshop, shame on your face! Look at yourselves, who dares to stand up and pat your chest confidently to ensure that since you become an official, you will have nothing to worry about? I have been greedy for one tael of silver and one stone of grain from the imperial court! Not to mention you fish and meat people, you are a disaster, but at least each of you has become a powerful man, rich in wealth, and rich, but it is really cheap for each of you to spit out 100 million taels How dare you pretend to be poor and complain to me! You really don’t know what to do!”

Just as Hu Shining was about to open his mouth to defend himself, the fat magistrate who had been standing at the foot of the wall with his head shrunk to hide his presence couldn't calm down. Sin! I am guilty of the crime!"

With the colleague who was the first to express his opinion, and he was the prefect of the city, he followed suit, and the other humble officials immediately rushed to follow suit. Some even got up from their chairs and knelt down directly on the ground before they even got up in time. All of a sudden, Wan Yanxu kneeled in front of Wanyan Xu, everyone lowered their heads deeply, couldn't see their expressions clearly, but they all had the mentality of shrunken heads, for fear that if they knelt too late, they would become the one who would be taken alone by His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. The unlucky ghost who came out to make an example to others.

The fat magistrate inadvertently gave Wan Yanxu a divine assist, forcing the chiefs of the salt, copper, and iron governments headed by Hu Shining to face the difficult problem raised by Wanyan Xu, in order to try to submit a satisfactory answer to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor , or directly tore up the answer sheet, and confronted His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson head-on, asking for peace?Or ask for a fight?There is no room to move around.

"The sage said, if you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is nothing good about it." When he said this, Wan Yanxu looked directly at the old fox Hu Shining, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Hu Shining has been in the officialdom for more than [-] years. He has long sleeves and is good at dancing. He knows how to judge the situation and immediately follow the good advice. He said in his old-fashioned voice: "Please calm down the emperor's grandson! If you have something to say, why get angry!"

It's really a thief calling for a thief, Wan Yanxu wanted to have a good talk with these people, the key is that the other party wanted to play a fool with him to the end, the tiger didn't show his power, he was a sick cat, and now he came to beat him up again, exhausted his face. To describe it in Chuo's words, four words, smelly and shameless.

Wan Yanxu put down his teacup lightly, softened his tone, and said with a smile, "Master Hu is right, if you have something to say, talk about it, everyone can make money with kindness! It's cold on the ground, gentlemen, don't just kneel down stupidly, get up!"

All the officials kneeling on the ground looked at me and I looked at you. They looked at each other for a long time, and then they stood up in fear, but they dared not sit down. They just stood there and listened. Training.

Hu Shining's eyeballs rolled, and a ray of light flashed quickly in his long and narrow eyes, with an uneasy and kind look on his face. If Wanyan Chuo was present, he would definitely remind Wanyan Xu to be careful. Unfortunately, now that Wanyan Chuo is away, he will Wan Yanxu's level is obviously not enough to compete with the old fox Hu Shining, he only suffers a loss, and it is a hidden loss, and he can't tell the bitterness. "His Royal Highness, as a local parental official, it is the duty of the subordinate officials to raise funds for disaster relief. The subordinate officials are required to lead by example and take the lead in donating money and food. The subordinate officials are duty-bound. I believe that the colleagues present have the same thoughts, but this The amount of 300 million taels is really difficult, I wonder if His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, can be more lenient?"

If Wanyan Xu is allowed to change immediately and see the tricks, he may accidentally fall for the old fox Hu Shining. Fortunately, Wanyan Chuo has already told him thousands of times before, and it is set to raise 300 taels. 300 taels, it is impossible to lose one tael of silver.Of course Wanyan Chuo would not do this for no reason. To put it bluntly, this is to actively pave the way for Wanyanxu's administration in the future. From the first time he runs a business, these officials must clearly know that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, said that one is one. , Say two is two, things that have been negotiated, there is no room for maneuver.

"Master Hu asked me if I could be more lenient. I'm afraid I'm asking the wrong person. I can't make up my mind if I can be lenient!" Wan Yanxu laughed lightly, with a mocking tone: "I was ordered by the emperor to raise funds for disaster relief. If the errand is not done well, the common people will complain, and Grandpa Huang blames it, should Master Hu be punished for me?"

Hu Shining smiled without saying a word.

Wanyanxu knew that the old fox was not so easy to be fooled, so he directly pointed out: "This time, the disaster of the yellow disaster is fierce, destroying countless farms and houses, leaving people homeless, starving and dying everywhere, such a serious natural disaster, even the emperor's grandfather Everyone is alarmed, if Mr. Hu doesn't believe what I said, you can go out of the city to investigate for yourself, Qianli Ze Country, millions of disaster victims, these people who are suffering, I am afraid there is no way to allow Mr. Hu to be more lenient!"

Hu Shining still wanted to argue, but Wan Yanxu interrupted him unceremoniously, and said: "Lord Hu, natural disasters are already a warning from heaven, if the disaster relief is not effective, and it turns into a disaster for nothing, I'm afraid you and I can't escape it." Blame! Three million taels is just a conservative estimate, and I don’t know if it’s enough if I want to provide disaster relief!”

The implication is that the wool comes from the sheep. If there is not enough money for disaster relief in the future, I will come to them to shear the sheep again. The hemorrhage once is not enough. If it is not enough, it will bleed again and again. This is simply killing people. .

Thinking of the continuous donation of money and food in the future, the fat magistrate couldn't help but shudder. The flesh hurts badly. The long pain is worse than the short pain. , to solve the problem once and for all.Ever since, the fat magistrate gave Wanyan Xu another divine assist, and he was the first to stand up and express his opinion: "His Royal Highness, I am willing to donate money and food."

As for how much to donate, since there are officials in charge of salt, copper, and iron, no matter what happens, he, the magistrate, will not be able to donate. He can not only do favors, but also please His Royal Highness, so why not do it.

Those who know the current affairs are Junjie, and the fat magistrate is so good at coming, Wan Yanxu is very satisfied, and nodded his head appreciatively, and when he turned his head, Hu Shining's goatee was almost crooked.
