Anyone here who is not a smart person immediately understood what Jia Zhen meant. "Bo Xi, your idea is really tricky." Yun Shang Shuben, who is an old fox, couldn't help admiring. "Master Yun is really flattering me. I'm just saying this casually. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking about these things for three days and three nights." Jia Zhen said with a smile. "It seems that the Inspectorate has to be busy." Wu Ke sneered. He has always had a good relationship with Zuo Du Yushi, so he happened to pay a visit when he had time.Xu Wenqing peeled off a peanut and said abruptly: "That's a good idea, but it's a pity that it doesn't cure the symptoms. I see that we have to learn from ordinary people. The money borrowed by our household department can't be borrowed for nothing. Why? It is said that some interest should be charged, I think they can afford it."

"It's certainly a good idea, but I'm afraid I don't like it." Yun Shangshu heard that it was a bit rambling, but he pointed his hand upwards, and everyone understood what he meant. "What's there to be unhappy about? Clay figurines still have a bit of a temper? It doesn't hurt face." Jia Zhen said without pointing at the emperor, and everyone present understood what he meant. "How about, let's change the place, so that we can make a living." Yun Shangshu stroked his beard and said with a smile. After all, a teahouse is not a good place to discuss things. "I think I'm going to trouble Master Yun and Master Xu with this matter. I just want to give Jia Boxi some pointers. After all, Boxi has not been in the Ministry of Households for a long time." Wu Ke said, Jia Zhen knows the affairs of nobles better than them. It is much more detailed, everyone divides the work, and the work is not tiring.

Jia Zhen followed Wu Ke out of the teahouse with a smile. At this time, it was enough for him to come up with an idea. There was no need to fight for the limelight and do everything well, so as not to be charged with coldness in the future. In fact, there is not much involvement with Ningguo Mansion, but in the eyes of others, they are always together. "Are you determined to be ruthless?" Wu Ke felt that he was a pretty good judge of people, and seeing Jia Zhen's relaxed look, he couldn't help asking. "My lord Wu, I only know how to act according to the teachings of my ancestors, and be worthy of the heaven and the earth." Jia Zhen restrained her expression and said with a bit of seriousness.

"If you're not too stupid, then you're too smart." Wu Ke smiled slightly. He knew whether Jia Zhen's words were true or false, but he acted like this. The governor and censor, the most disliked person who relies on power in his life.Since Jia Zhen entered the household department, he has also paid attention to her words and deeds. He is a diligent worker, so he is also willing to give Jia Zhen some face.

"Master Wu is really flattering. There are so many smart people in the world. What I want is to be a sensible person." Jia Zhen's words are absolutely true, so what about a smart person? There are so many people, only those who understand can live comfortably.Wu Ke stopped talking, he understood Jia Zhen's meaning, but it was not a wise choice to pick up the words, and he agreed with Jia Zhen's words from the bottom of his heart.

In a few days, the Procuratorate took the lead in launching the attack. This is probably the first time that the Procuratorate has attacked those honorable dudes with such great firepower. Jia Zhen felt chilly when she heard it outside the hall. It’s really not bragging. If you don’t understand the ability to get on the line, this ability to fight, you will think they are praising you. If you understand it, you will feel suffocated and want to talk. Your front and back roads, side passages and trails are all blocked, and they put a hat that fits perfectly on your head.Jia Zhen decided not to provoke the censors as much as possible in the future. Although he could bear such lip service, he was definitely not willing to take the initiative to face it.

Before the emperor could express his anger, Yun Shangshu had already stepped forward, explaining the financial summary of this year and the grand occasion of nobles coming to borrow money from the already stretched household department.Yun Shangshu also pretended to be very surprised, and praised the emperor's sympathy for his courtiers, and he didn't want to let the courtiers who had worked hard for a year not be able to survive even a year, even if the officials in the household department did not get angry every day They are not the kind of ruthless people who have no love from their colleagues, and they will definitely make their colleagues have a good year.Yun Shangshu's confession and statement are equivalent to pouring a bucket of oil on the emperor's anger. The emperor's complexion is extremely livid. He likes the reputation of a benevolent monarch, but he will never like being treated as a benevolent king by his courtiers. Take it easy.

To save face is to suffer, Jia Zhen has no doubt that the emperor is working hard to cultivate his self-cultivation, and this skill will definitely reach the pinnacle in the future, unmatched by anyone.It's just that the emperor's anger is nothing compared to the people who have to suffer for it.Guessing that the fire was almost over, Xu Wenqing came out and expressed his opinion: First of all, those dudes must be punished, but this has little to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he won't say much.He then went on to say that he had made an agreement with Yun Shangshu and others before, this method could cure the root cause, but in order not to hurt the dignity of the court, they did not say it for a long time.If the Holy Majesty is willing, you can listen to his brief report.

When Emperor Wen Yuan heard this, he waved his hand and asked Xu Wenqing to speak his mind.Xu Wenqing immediately complied, and then stated the items they had prepared one by one: "For those below 1 taels, the interest will be one-thousandth of the interest, and it will be calculated once a quarter. For those below 5 taels, The interest shall be 10% of the interest, and shall be calculated quarterly. If the interest is less than 50 taels, the interest shall be one percent, and the interest shall be calculated quarterly. If the interest is less than 5.00 taels, the interest shall be [-]%, and the interest shall be calculated quarterly. "Xu Wenqing said that the sage is benevolent and sympathetic to his courtiers. Naturally, he should not give up because of choking. Naturally, the money can be borrowed, but the interest must be charged. This is for the country's long-term plan. In addition, the interest is not calculated in a single amount, but Based on the accumulated amount.

Looking at the ugly faces of the nobles, the emperor finally felt much better, and couldn't help being very kind to the governor and the officials of the household department, and praised them verbally.As for Xu Wenqing's excerpt, he will not publish it for the time being. These nobles regard him as the emperor who has been taken advantage of, so he can't justify not letting them worry for a while.However, the officials of the household department were quite capable, and the emperor was very satisfied with the result. No matter what he did, his dignity and reputation were not damaged.

The emperor is a very strange creature. He is always suspicious of others and claims to be a loner, but he also hopes that everyone will not deceive him. Love him is like loving RMB.So, after the emperor came down to the court, he thought about it carefully, and felt that the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Household Affairs really cooperated too tacitly. Could there be some conspiracy?Emperor Wen Yuan didn't want the balance between Xungui and Qingliu to be broken, but it was time for him to beat these old fritters.However, he must understand the ins and outs of this matter before he makes a decision.The emperor ordered his confidantes to investigate these matters, and he felt that he might take the time to get in touch with the nobles.

The emperor first thought it was his niece and son-in-law, so Jia Zhen was honored to be the first to be invited to drink tea.Fortunately, the emperor was still sympathetic to his nephew and son-in-law, and didn't give him too much hatred.However, this kindness is only to delay the news for some time before reaching everyone's ears.Jia Zhen couldn't help complaining in her heart. The thing he dislikes the most is being invited to drink tea. When he was mischievous when he was a child, he was invited to drink tea by his teacher, and when he had a problem with his thesis, he was invited to drink tea by his tutor. Invited to drink tea by the boss.At this point, the emperor asked him to drink tea, it must be no good.However, Jia Zhen still has to be treated as a matter of great luck. After all, this should be regarded as one of the benefits of being the emperor's niece and son-in-law, and others can't wait for it.

With the eldest princess as her mother-in-law, Jia Zhen still knew the emperor's temper and preferences very well, so it was not difficult to talk to Emperor Wen Yuan.Emperor Wen Yuan was also very satisfied with Jia Zhen's neither humble nor overbearing attitude and manner. "The Chinese New Year is coming up now, what do you want me to reward you?" Emperor Wen Yuan pretended to be indifferent, and changed the topic to his purpose for today. "Your Majesty loves you, and I am very grateful to you. It is enough for me to honor my family, honor my wife and children, and I don't need any additional rewards from my Majesty. Besides, I am now in the household department, and I understand the hardships of my Majesty better than ever before." .As a subject, even if you can't share your worries, you should not ask your majesty to bother you." Jia Zhen was very respectful and humble, and her words were more sincere, which made Emperor Wen Yuan like it a little more.

"Where is this? You are my niece and son-in-law, and you are also a person with practical skills. I am naturally willing to give you more face." Emperor Wen Yuan smiled slightly, "However, I heard that many old officials are not living well. Very good, thinking about it, it was my negligence. You two, don’t always think about saving money. You can still come to me as an uncle for everything. I will definitely help you solve it.” “If the uncle’s words spread, the nephew will go back. Still don't know how to be told by the princess?" Jia Zhen hurriedly followed Emperor Wen Yuan's words, adding a bit of intimacy and a bit of shyness. "How do you say that?" Emperor Wen Yuan was still very satisfied with Jia Zhen, he was very considerate to his niece, and the family was well behaved, there was nothing messy about it, it can be seen that he was in awe of the royal family from the bottom of his heart. "The minister's wife often speaks four words to the minister-satisfaction and happiness. The minister's family has ancestral property, and the minister's salary, plus the prospect of the shop and farm. Just say that the shop and farm have tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. It’s already considered a wealthy family. Besides, frugality is the long-term way to run a family.” Jia Zhen hurriedly replied following Emperor Wen Yuan’s words.

"Nonsense, it doesn't cost money to go around with relatives, visit old friends and so on. Don't be too frugal and let others see the joke." Emperor Wen Yuan was even more satisfied with Jia Zhen, he was sincere good boy.These days, he sent people to inquire about it, and the results made him very angry. Most of the good fields around the capital are under the names of nobles, let alone Jiangnan and other places. Most of the prosperous shops in the capital are also named after them. It's a good idea to come and cry poor with him. "Even if uncle doesn't trust his niece and son-in-law, he still has to trust his niece, doesn't he? Although I practice economical methods, I won't be reduced to a poor household and harsh on the whole family. If it really gets to that point, I'm afraid the mother-in-law will be the first to ask for help." I’ve taught you a lesson.” Jia Zhen finished talking about the business, and naturally she also tried to improve her relationship with her, which made Emperor Wen Yuan amused, so she waved her hand away from the matter.

The two chatted for a while, talking about interesting things.Jia Zhen usually reads some strange stories, but she has a lot of stories to tell in her belly. Emperor Wenyuan usually has a lot of affairs, although he has heard anecdotes and read many such books, but he still listens with great interest. Jia Zhen was kept for dinner, and Fang let Jia Zhen go home.
