The Reborn Wife is Farming

"Father," Zhang Chuan walked quickly, closed the door of the study, and said, "Jinhua County's corruption case broke out, and all thirty-six officials except the new county magistrate were sent to prison, and the person sent by the emperor to raid the house has returned. "

Zhang Cheng waited until he had finished writing a piece of writing before looking up at his son. He put the pen on the brush and said, "What does the Jinhua case have to do with us? It's just a small corruption case, and it's worth your fuss? "

Zhang Cheng used to be greedy, but after the establishment of the new dynasty, he was very clean, confiscating any money that should not have been taken, so he is very confident when he says this.

"It's my son who can't hold his breath," Zhang Chuan said with shame on his face, "But according to the officials who came back from the search, a large amount of property was confiscated from the homes of officials in Jinhua County, and they were questioned about their corruption. Among them, the property of Zhou's family was the most. The Zhou family that Shuniang’s concubine sister married, father, Zhou’s family left Jinhua County not long ago, the emperor received a report that the officials in Jinhua County were corrupt, and he found out after investigation. This matter is full of evil..."

Zhang Cheng couldn't help sitting up straight, "From the Zhou family?"

"Yes, it is said that the fourth house of the Shu family colluded with the Jinhua County officials to seize the Zhou family, and the Zhou family gave up nearly half of their property to get out. Father, do you think the emperor always remembers what happened five years ago, but has been holding back?" Fa, this time the fourth bedroom of the Shu family..."

The fourth room of the Shu family was also very miserable. Mrs. Shu died, and Shu Qing also suffered a stroke. It is estimated that he will not survive for a few years. However, Shu Mingxiang's chance of recovering in three years is almost zero. It can be said that they were the only ones who caused the empress to give birth prematurely. The Zhang family.

And Zhang Cheng's hands were also very dirty, Zhang Chuan thought of this, and looked at his father eagerly.

Zhang Cheng's face was also very ugly. He thought that the incident was over, he just had to be careful, and don't let the queen get caught.

The emperor's care and the queen's care are completely different in nature, and he dare not think about the consequences of the former at all.

Zhang Cheng tightened his hands and then loosened them. Thinking of the emperor's love for the prince, he gritted his teeth and said, "You take it to the cashier, calculate how much money our family has, and sell some of our property."

"Father!" Zhang Chuan looked at him in shock, selling his business?

The Zhang family property was bought by Zhang Cheng when he was the secretary of the household department in the previous dynasty. It is difficult to buy it if he has money. It can be said that it is a treasure that can be passed down to future generations. My father has always been proud of it. Why? Thinking of selling your business?

Zhang Cheng was helpless, rubbing his forehead and said: "Take advantage of the emperor's difficulties, let's do our best to accumulate some affection, even if the empress and the crown prince want to settle accounts with us later, and the emperor cares about the old love, our Zhang family will not end up in peace. The situation of Sifang and Zhou's family..."

Zhang Chuan was silent. Although his father didn't point it out, he was not too afraid of the queen before, but now he was extremely afraid. Obviously, like himself, he felt that it was the emperor who did these things.

Although Zhang Chuan was reluctant, he still gritted his teeth and withdrew. Isn't it just spending money to buy peace?

He bought it!

Zhang Cheng looked at his son with a slightly hunched figure, and sighed. Fortunately, the current emperor is still kind, otherwise he might not even have the chance to spend money to buy peace.

After Zhang Cheng returned to his hometown to entertain his grandchildren many years later, Zhang Chuan counted the remaining family property, only to find that the money they sent to the emperor one after another was exactly the same as the amount of money Zhang Cheng had embezzled. Zhang Cheng, who was in his sixtieth year, also broke out in a cold sweat, but he couldn't help but rejoice that they were willing to donate the money to the court at that time, otherwise the Zhang family might not be able to escape the fate of decline.

Zhang Cheng entered the palace with a box of bank notes, and said that he could not bear to see the people cold and vegetarian, and the king sad and depressed, so he was willing to donate some money and food for Daqi and the court.

The emperor looked at the box on the table silently for a while, and had to admit that Zhang Cheng was indeed sensitive and decisive enough to be an official. He nodded and accepted the box, and said kindly: "Let Zhang Qing bother, I can I want to reward you well."

After Zhang Cheng withdrew, the emperor called Rong Xuan into the palace, handed him the money given by Zhang Cheng, and said, "What happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Household Affairs cooperated privately, and two-thirds of the investigation has been conducted. From the current point of view, the amount of corruption in Zhang Cheng's previous dynasty has reached the ninth place."

Qi Xiuyuan snorted coldly, and said: "He is very sensible, write down this money, even if it is offset, many people have been killed in the past two years, I don't want to see blood again, after the matter is found out, from front to back, you quietly Let people spread the news, how much the treasury can recover, let the six ministries and the Imperial Academy speed up the pace of legislation, and increase the punishment for corruption and violence. I hate corrupt officials and cruel officials the most in my life. Although the water is clear, there will be no fish, but the water is too muddy , the fish will die.”

Rong Xuan took the box and asked, "Your Majesty, Zijin has never been in charge of this matter?"

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I asked him to concentrate on recuperating recently, and I will entrust these matters to you first, and then hand them over to him when he recovers."

Rong Xuan heard that he could only accept the errand.

Although Fan Zijin was recuperating at home, he was not deaf to what was going on outside the window. He only found out about it after drinking afternoon tea with Mrs. Xia.

Fan Zijin thought about it, smiled slightly, and asked the housekeeper to take 20,000 taels of silver from the account and send it to the emperor as his and Qi Haoran's shares, and sent it with great fanfare.

The butler was a little puzzled, "Master Guo, the money was originally going to be sent to the treasury. Now, we are using it. What about the money in the treasury?"

Fan Zijin sat on the reclining chair and said, "This is the money that went into the treasury, but it was not carried directly to the treasury, it was carried into the palace first, if you want to send it, just send it, don't talk so much nonsense."

How can this be the same?

The money that goes directly into the treasury is directly recorded under the business income, but now it has to be recorded in the names of the Duke and the Prince, but the housekeeper dare not say more, and can only murmur in his heart while sending the silver to the emperor.

After Zhang Cheng donated a large sum of money, An Guogong and Rongjun Wang also donated a sum of money. The emperor was stunned for a moment like the ministers who were discussing matters, and then said with a smile on his face: "Let someone carry it in." , I would like to see how much money King Rong and Duke An have donated, and then I will set up a merit monument at the gate of the palace and write their names on it."

The ministers all scolded An Guogong for being cunning, even if he wanted to give money to the treasury, he didn't do it like that. Who didn't know that he was doing business for the emperor, and all the money he earned was put into the treasury to support the country's construction, and Zhang Cheng, Who knows why this guy suddenly wants to donate money to the treasury?

Everyone privately speculates that he had too much greed in the previous dynasty, and his conscience was disturbed, so he wanted to donate some, but if you donate, donate, don't drag us into trouble, this emperor will set up a monument of merit, they are ashamed not to donate a penny ?

Several ministers followed the emperor to see the silver that Fan Zijin asked someone to bring in, almost heartbroken.

Rong Xuan lamented that Fan Zijin was a born business owner. When he received Zhang Cheng's things, he only wanted to put them in the warehouse, check which places urgently needed the silver taels, and who was like him, and he could think of ways to make money from it.

Although other people's money was used to generate money from the national treasury, it was worth it.
