[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Yinfeng did what he said, and he found the list of those officials who wrote the request to borrow money, and among them was Yu Guozhu, the left governor and censor!

"The censor's salary is not low. They care more about face than others. Please come here to borrow money. Maybe there is something wrong? Go and get 1 taels from the lonely treasury and send it to Yu Yushi."

Yinfeng has his own private treasury account book, Liuli official kiln is huge profits, and his money can only go in and out, and his usual expenses are spent in Khan Ama's private treasury, and the prince's own private treasury, the silver taels Like rooted, it lay moldy in the warehouse.

"Since the courtiers are in trouble, Gu also needs to help out. Borrowing money, if there is a loan, pay it back. The interest will not be counted for the first time, and let them send the IOU to Gu."

Yinreng's money bag is very rich. In his eyes, the silver taels in the warehouse are just a nice number. After it is written in Arabic numerals, it is followed by several zeros. Just looking at the numbers, it really doesn't make sense.

After Yinreng sent the people sent by Kangxi to him, he went to the household department outside the east gate of Qianqing Palace. The left and right household department offices were right next to the Ministry of Rites, not far away.

The two ministers of the household department, Hang Ai and Liang Qingbiao, were both there. Before Yinfeng arrived, the two ministers received the news that the prince was coming, and hurriedly brought two ministers of the household department to greet him.

Why did His Royal Highness suddenly think of coming to the household department?

Could it be that the emperor has made another move and wants to send the household department to do it?

Hang Ai, former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is an old acquaintance of Yinreng. He got to know him when he was visiting the Ministry of War with his elder brother. As for Liang Qingbiao, Yinreng’s impression of him is only that he once performed to Khan Ama, hoping that Khan Ama Pay attention to the negative growth of treasury accounts.

"I came here alone to ask the two adults for some IOUs, and since the beginning, the officials of the DPRK and China have asked the Ministry of Accounts how much money they have borrowed."

Hang Ai was startled suddenly, and a storm arose in his heart: check the accounts? !Could it be that the emperor has investigated the administration of officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and is planning to liquidate the capital as well?

"I don't know why His Royal Highness asked the minister for the loan account? This account is related to the treasury and silver. Without the imperial decree of the emperor, I am afraid that it cannot be investigated without authorization."

Hang Ai tentatively asked, hoping in his heart that this was His Highness the Prince's whim, not the Emperor's plan to check the accounts.In the government and the opposition, almost every official has asked the household department to borrow money, and those who don't come to borrow money will appear to be out of the group.

"Don't be nervous, my lord, I'm not here to check the accounts, I'm here to find a way to balance the accounts of the treasury," Yinfeng explained in a warm voice.

"The two lords have also asked Khan Amma to increase income and reduce expenditure. Although there is no need to fight now, but there is a heavy snowstorm, the accounts will not be easy to see. The people have no money at home, and the whole family will starve to death. If the Household Department has no money, the whole country will starve to death. Seeing how many courtiers have asked the Household Department for loans, it is obviously impossible to ask them to pay back the money immediately. Who hasn’t had a time when their pockets are shy?"

Liang Qingbiao asked suspiciously: "So His Highness wants to..."

"Gu will pay for it himself, and level up the account. If there are people who want to borrow it later, just ask Gu to borrow it. The silver taels in the treasury are used to build the Qing Dynasty, so they can't be borrowed again. What do the two adults think?" ?”

Yinfeng felt that talking was not convincing, so he raised his voice and called Yu Zhu who was waiting outside: "Where is Gu's silver? Have you moved it?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness, the silver in the treasury is already on its way."

It didn't take long before Yinreng Yuqing Palace moved all the silver from the existing warehouse, and he also brought the box where he put the silver bills. The money earned by Liuli officials and breeding insects over the years, All of them were sent to the two household ministers in one go.

Liang Qingbiao was confused by Yinreng's operation. Here, Yinreng called people to count the money he brought, and asked them: "Is this money enough to pay off the debts owed by the officials?"

"Enough is enough," Hang Ai also recovered after a while, he was stunned by the rich and powerful appearance of the prince, what was even more astonishing was the prince's wealth.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Households is the place where money is cast, so why do you have to pay for it yourself?" Liang Qingbiao sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped Yinfeng: "The precedent for officials in the court to borrow money was set three years ago. You can still get on the same level now, but if you set a precedent, in the future, all people will come to you to borrow money. I am afraid that the silver in your warehouse will be a drop in the bucket! Because not only officials borrow money, but also princes and clans also borrow money from the household department .”

"Since it is enough, let's liquidate all of them today, and balance the accounts of the account department. The account department is good at making money. If the account department has no money, it will make it. If the money is lent out, it is not the loss of the Qing Dynasty. The state treasury? It’s not about silver and money, it’s about the accumulation of emptiness and empty accounts. If something big happens, you don’t worry about the hidden dangers? If you don’t have enough money, go make money and mess around. What will the money do? The things in the state treasury are still just these, and the output of the people is the same. Here, a lot of money from the imperial court is invested in it. At that time, the money will be worthless, and the bank notes will become waste paper, and the imperial court will lose its credibility. The world will be in chaos."

Yinfeng said: "There is nowhere to spend the money that Gu has earned through Liuli official kilns and selling insects these years, so you just accept it. When the time comes, let those who borrowed money and want to repay the debt come to Gu to pay it back. By the way, Khan Ama previously stipulated how many years would it take to repay the borrowed money from the household department?"

The two ministers looked at each other, and Liang Qingbiao, who was a Han minister, answered first: "The time limit set by the emperor is three years."

It is said that it has been three years, but so far few people have come to pay back the money, and the account given by the household department has never been recovered.

"The first batch of people who borrowed money should also pay their debts. Didn't the household department send someone to remind them?"

Hang Ai welcomed Yinreng into the hall, and explained helplessly: "The emperor has not ordered, how can the Ministry of Households urge officials to pay back the money?"

"Then don't rush it for now. Even if they borrowed the money from Gu Gu, Gu Gu will not limit their time. They will pay it back when they earn money."

Yinfeng said generously: "Gu himself just opened his mouth, and he will not die of starvation with Han Ama, so he should hold on to the treasury first."

Liang Qingbiao looked complicated, and asked Yinfeng again: "Your Highness, are you really planning to pay for the balance of the treasury's accounts?"

The prince is generous and stupid, he treats others generously and hurts himself, and if he speaks out, he will at most earn some reputation for benevolence and honesty, but just think about it, those who borrow money will not come to pay back the money, even if they are ordinary If the account is cleared, the money is also paid by the prince for nothing!

Yinfeng nodded again and again.

Liang Qingbiao said: "What Your Highness said is indeed reasonable. The money from the Household Department is related to the Qing Dynasty's livelihood and should be treated with caution. I thank Your Highness for your kindness and generosity. But on this matter, Your Highness should discuss it with the Emperor before doing it?"

He looked at Yinfeng's expression, as if he was looking at a child holding Jin Zhuan, a big fat sheep with no ability to protect himself.

The silly boy is really serious about paying for it himself.

Yinfeng said firmly: "Gu can be the master of his own treasury. Khan Ama never cares about how he spends money. Now that Gu comes to contribute to the national treasury, Khan Ama will not stop him."

Of course the emperor would stop it, how could the emperor watch his son foolishly send money into other people's pockets?

Hang Ai sighed, waved his hand at Liang Qingbiao, and stopped him from continuing.

"Your Highness, have you thought about it?"

"You two adults don't need to shirk. Since you all said that the money is enough to settle the account, let's settle it. The previous accounts and IOUs are all transferred to Gu. You can also write a memorial to Khan Ama, and please return it. The two lords told the other courtiers that in the future, they will borrow money from orphans and don’t use the treasury again. By the way, Master Yu has sent someone to send 1 taels of orphans.”

Hang Ai was silent for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "The balance of the treasury's accounts is indeed of great benefit to the Qing Dynasty, and it can also solve the emptiness of silver in it. I hope that someone can level the treasury, but if the emperor Knowing that Weichen accepted this matter and 'deceived' all of His Highness's money into the treasury, the emperor will definitely be angry."

"No, if Khan Ama gets angry, I'll just take care of the problem," Yinfeng assured, "It's not that adults 'lied' Gu, but Gu came to you on his own initiative, so many pairs of eyes are watching! No one will Blame your lord for that."

Liang Qingbiao glared at Hang Ai: You are so daring, you want to deal with such a thing?

Hang Ai shook his head.

It is still uncertain whether the balance of accounts was done on a whim by His Highness the Crown Prince himself, or by the emperor's order!

"Since His Royal Highness has said so, then I will obey your order and pay the account to Ping Shang, but I will also write a memorial to report this matter to the emperor."

Yinfeng was very satisfied, and urged: "That's right, Mr. Hang Ai is better, after all, he has worked in the Ministry of War, and he does things quickly and neatly."

Liang Qingbiao: "..."

"It's not that Mr. Liang is procrastinating," Yinfeng explained hastily, looking up at Mr. Liang who is already 64 years old. There are quite a few children who feel that they are taking care of the old minister, and hurriedly greet the two adults to sit down and do business.

Once the accounts were settled, Yinreng's own treasury lost nearly [-]%, and the money went directly to the treasury. When Yuzhu sent out the cash box, he was so painful that his heart was bleeding!

"Little ancestor, all the money is sent to the treasury. What is the difference between this and giving the money to the ministers for nothing? They still asked the Ministry of Households to borrow money before, and favors are not considered His Highness. Oh, what is this all about?" Mother Xu also spoke out her native dialect anxiously.

Yinfeng hugged the box of IOUs that he had harvested, feeling satisfied.

"Xinyu, recruit some people for Gu Gu, and record these IOUs in order of time. Originally, Khan Ama promised to pay back the money in three years, but Gu gave them a grace period of five years. If they don't change after five years, it will be counted." Interest," Yin Reng yelled, and sent someone to collect all the remaining [-]% of the silver in his public opinion palace, so as to provide for future people to lend.

"Your Highness, you have used up all the money in your treasury, how will there be so many people in Yuqing Palace to live in the future!"

Aunt Xu was so anxious that her forehead was sweating.

"It seems that Gu's expenses don't come from Khan Ama's warehouse," Yinreng replied without raising his head while writing notes, "Gu is still a minor, and now Khan Ama is raising Gu. Aren't all the accounts in Yuqing Palace going to Khan Ama's private treasury, we have to wait until Gu Jiguan to support the family."

Ninety percent of the bank deposits were emptied, and Madam Xu helped Yinfeng take care of the accounts, feeling very distressed: "The old slave is just a woman with limited knowledge, but you can't just rely on eating and drinking from the emperor all the time. You have your own hobbies, and there will be times when you need to spend extra money. If everything goes through with the emperor, how hard you must be! You should save some money for yourself to deal with emergencies."

Yinfeng really can't think of where he needs to spend money.

In the Forbidden City, there were always others who gave him money and fawned on him, and he never paid for it.The research institute that originally spent money has been listed as one of the imperial departments by Khan Amali, and it is the account of the treasury, which does not require him to pay for it.

Yinreng himself doesn’t keep diners, all the little donkeys in his hand can eat grass to support himself, or have Khan Ama help him with salary, and he doesn’t like those antiques, just as Yinreng said to Yinzhen , he is an honest and good boy, he neither whores nor gambles, so of course he has no place to spend money.

That being the case, why not give the money away?

"Nurse Xu, if you don't give out the money, you won't be able to repay the interest. Although it's not a usury loan, you've given the courtiers a repayment period of three years plus two years for a total of five years!"

Aunt Xu couldn't change His Highness the Crown Prince's opinion, and could only watch him be stupid.As for Yinfeng, he also wrote a letter to Kangxi, in which he proudly told Kangxi: Khan Ama, my son has done a great good deed that is beneficial to the treasury, and my son used pocket money to borrow the treasury at a loss The money is flat!Erchen just lost a little bit of moldy silver in the treasury, but there was room for capital turnover in the state treasury.

Not only did he not think it was wrong, but he also asked Kangxi for credit, waiting for Khan Ama to praise himself.

Three days later, when the subordinates finally delivered the written ledger, Yinreng took the still warm IOU ledger and sent it to Yinzhen for reading.

"How about the fourth brother, now the court is full of civil and military affairs, and some people in the prince's and clan's family owe lonely money." Seeing Yinzhen's mouth wide open in shock, Yinfeng was so proud that his tail was raised to the sky.

Yinzhen flipped through the ledger, the more he looked at it, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop curling up.

"The courtiers and princes borrow money, but they will not repay it easily. When they borrow money, they smile, but when they repay the money, they look different. You have to be mentally prepared."

Yinfeng said: "If they really don't pay back the borrowed money, Gu will send someone to collect the debt every day."

Although he lost a little money, he got the IOUs from the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes and clans!

"Gu doesn't cherish reputation as much as Khan Amma, and Gu doesn't care about reputation, otherwise Gu wouldn't have written the book "Scientific Pig Raising"."

When the time comes to pay interest, he can recruit people to set up a new department called the Debt Collection Department.

Yinzhen wanted to know what Khan Ama would look like when he knew what the prince had done. As long as he thought of that scene, he couldn't stop being happy.

Among the brothers, Khan Aman is the best and closest to the prince. With Khan Aman's love for the prince, he will really go to collect debts for the prince himself.

It was Khan Ama who opened the door for the Ministry of Accounts to borrow money. At that time, he gained fame and attracted courtiers. Now you know how it feels to shoot yourself in the foot, right?

Trapped in a child's body, Yinzhen borrowed the hands of the prince to solve possible troubles in the future. This was the happiest time he had felt since his rebirth. "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The second brother of the prince did the right thing. Solving the trouble today is better than delaying it decades later. This is a great achievement."

Yinfeng said in amazement: "The fourth younger brother is boasting of being lonely!"

Yinzhen shuddered, his intuition was not good, his scalp went numb when he saw Yinreng's expression, and he wished he could run away immediately.

"Seeing my younger brother's admiration for Gu, I am very relieved. Come on, fourth brother, today we will study this physics book in English..." Yinfeng grabbed Yinfeng who was trying to escape Zhen, pressed him on the desk.

On the other hand, by the time Kangxi received the letter, the matter had already been settled, and the day lily was cold!

All the civil and military officials in the court knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was rich and powerful, so people would ask him to borrow money if they were short of money in the future. He even lent 1 taels to Yu Guozhu, Nalan Mingzhu's confidant!

Kangxi couldn't bear to tear up the letter, and was so angry that he threw the brush hard, which frightened Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong bent down to pick up the brush, and handed it over in a trembling voice: "Emperor... Your Majesty?"

"This prodigal son! I have only been away for a month, and I have directly made myself 'bankrupt'!" There is an old saying that is true, "A son is born to be a debt collector", and Kangxi was deeply touched by this statement.

All the wealth that Suo'etu had accumulated for the prince over the years was completely ruined by this unlucky boy, it was completely ruined!

The author has something to say: Yinfeng: From now on, I will go to Khan Ama's place to eat and drink.
