When Yuzhu was eating, Zhang Tingyu came in. Originally, Zhang Tingyu wanted to sit with Yuzhu because of the face of his colleagues.
After seeing the food on Yuzhu's table clearly, he turned around decisively and sat far away...
This person is afraid of comparison. There is no need to look at Zhang Tingyu's food box. There must be only two cold meat dishes and a small bowl of Japonica rice mixed with sand.
There is no way, Zhang Tingyu is a famous official who neither gives nor accepts gifts.
The eunuchs who provided food in the palace had not benefited from Zhang Tingyu for a long time, so they naturally made things difficult for him.
Not to mention Zhang Tingyu, even the chief Manchu scholar Ma Qi and the eunuchs who prepared meals dared to stumble secretly, causing him to suffer.
When dining in the palace, how can I allow my subordinates to be picky and make irresponsible remarks?
It is indeed true that Yuzhu's aunt is Xiao Guifei.
However, even if she was a concubine with the power to take over the Sixth Palace, she would not dare to interfere with a cat in the Qing Palace.
Concubine Tong has no right to interfere with any affairs before the imperial court. If she did, it would be an act of trespass.
After a delicious meal, Yuzhu stuffed two taels of broken silver into the red lacquer food box as usual.
This man would demolish the bridge if he could not cross the river. His good reputation was still very important in the palace.
Even if Yuzhu's holy family is prosperous, it will not affect him from continuing to have a good relationship with Xiao Yezi secretly.
Xiao Yezi also had a tacit understanding. He took the food box that Yuzhu had sent back, turned the corner, quickly opened the lid of the food box, and put the silver lying quietly on the top into his arms.
There is no other way, Xiao Zizi's monthly silver is only two taels, and he has to spend five hundred coins every month to honor his godfather.
There's not much money left.
The great eunuchs in the palace were all evil-minded. Even the eunuch uniform that Little Ye Zi wore had to be made with his own money.
Now, Yuzhu gives Xiaozi two taels of silver every day, and he can save it. In the future, when Xiaozi has a chance to go out of the palace to run errands, he will quietly take the money out to supplement the family income.
Yuzhu once read a book, which said that the best way to set up an spy is to plant seemingly useless traps in important areas long in advance.
Xiao Zizi is just the lowest-level eunuch serving meals. Yuzhu has made good friends with him now, and will later ask Concubine Xiao Tong to secretly promote him.
In the future, it is likely to be of great use.
Networking is a thing that must be planned in advance. You can not use it at ordinary times, but you cannot not have reliable people in the palace.
After finishing his meal, Yuzhu returned to the south study room. Not long after he sat down, he received a brochure from the Guangdong Customs Supervisor.
Guangdong Customs supervision was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. In fact, the emperor personally selected trustworthy and capable officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and sent them to collect money for the royal family.
Yuzhu opened it and took a look. It turned out that the Guangdong Customs Supervision reported last year's total tariff revenue.
Hi, Yuzhu read it three times before he could believe that the numbers on the fold were correct.
The huge Guangdong Customs only collects 180,000 taels of tax a year. Who dares to believe it?
Yuzhu almost laughed angrily. However, this had nothing to do with him. He just wrote a brief summary: Guangdong Customs collected more than 180,000 taels of silver last year.
Objectively speaking, Yuzhu is very good at grasping the central idea and making a concise and concise description.
As a result, while playing chess at noon, Kangxi asked him abruptly: "Why, do you think the tax collected by Guangdong Customs is too low?"
As long as the prince's affairs were not involved, Kangxi, in a calm state, could easily see Yuzhu's unstated dissatisfaction from the abbreviations.
"To tell you the truth, old man, if I were to be the supervisor of the Guangdong Customs, I would be able to recover at least 800,000 taels of silver every year."
Although Yuzhu is very young, he has an extremely calm temperament and does not express his position easily. Once he expresses his position, he will definitely honor it.
His mood was not excited at all, but his meaning was very clear. The wrapping slaves sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Guangdong Customs were too greedy.
These days, while playing chess, Kangxi deliberately asked many questions about salt, tea, iron, weaving and customs deficits.
Yuzhu has never been stumped and always answers questions fluently, without even stumbling.
Kangxi was actually very aware of the greedy nature of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Not to mention anything else, Shuntian Fuyin's secret book contains, as usual, detailed information on market price levels in the four-nine cities.
However, when the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs stopped being greedy for money, Kangxi should worry about someone colluding with the prince's brother and secretly killing him.
How can one guard against thieves for a thousand days?
The emperor is rich all over the world. He is short of money and spends it, so he finds an excuse to get it. Why expose himself to danger for a little money?
Not only the Qing Dynasty, but also the officials in the Qin and Han Dynasties were all extremely corrupt, but the emperors always turned a blind eye.
There is something to be said for an emperor being cheated out of his money. Every emperor in the past dynasties was cheated out of his money, which is very telling.
"Yeah." Kangxi, as always, did not express his position on the spot, and Yuzhu knew enough not to mention it anymore.
Time is still very long, and Yuzhu is not in a hurry. What he has to do now is to continue to instill various novel ways of making money into the old emperor, and do the basic work of dripping water through stone.
Although Kangxi was not the holy king he boasted about, he was also an extremely mature old politician.
So far, he has been in office for more than 40 years. Except for the fight between the prince and the eighth son, he is very familiar with all government affairs, large and small.
Zhao Kuo has always been a negative example. But why did Zhao Kuo succeed Lian Po and become the coach of the Zhao army?
At least, he is very eloquent, and his military theory is clear and logical.
Objectively speaking, Yuzhu has no chance to prove his ability in practice for the time being, so he is forced to become Zhao Kuo first.
If you can't even explain it clearly, how can you convince the emperor that Yuzhu is good at fighting and making money?
After losing three games of Go, Yuzhu wanted to leave.
Kangxi looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and cursed: "You kid, you are just a bastard. Look at the South Study Room, who dares to go to the Yamen before he is straight? You are good, you dare to leave the palace and return to the house when the time comes, without any trouble.
Don't delay. It's too busy, isn't it? I'll give you an errand."
Dai Zi always lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Yuzhu, who was so high up, could not clearly see his appearance due to the angle of his sight.
Yuzhu turned to look at An Bulu, but said nothing.
Before An Bulu was promoted to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, he was the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The heads of the three judicial divisions are all experienced in handling cases.
Even if Yuzhu didn't say anything, how could An Bulu not understand?
Following Anbulu's instructions, the officials and officers who followed, led by Nezhang, all exited the prison.
After the area was cleared, An Bulu, Yuzhu and four imperial guards wearing yellow mandarins with swords were left in the prison.
Next to the small cell is a dedicated interrogation room.
Yuzhu was the imperial envoy. He sat in the middle of the desk, while Anbulu sat on the side.
After two imperial guards with swords carried Dai Zi in, Yuzhu could see Dai Zi's face clearly.
How should I put it, Dai Zi's hair is gray and he looks haggard, but he is actually born with a hooked nose, which really affects his appearance.
According to the generally superstitious physiognomy of this era, a hooked nose is considered to be the facial feature of conspirators, careerists and villains.
Well, with a bad appearance, no wonder Dai Zi was tricked by that foreign devil Nan Huairen.
Others don't quite know it, but Yu Zhu knows in his heart that Nan Huairen deliberately framed Dai Zi because of the huge benefits.
When Dai Zi imitated the Franco machine gun and the experiment was successful, Nan Huairen wanted to kill Dai Zi, the weapons genius, to eliminate future troubles forever.
Nan Huairen, who harbored evil intentions, fabricated the charge of "communicating with the East" and deliberately framed Dai Zi.
However, because Kangxi was still an emperor who cherished talents after all, he did not kill Dai Zi, but simply exiled him to Fengtian.
(PS: I’m chasing after you very closely. Please support me through monthly tickets to help Yuzhu stay in the top three. Thank you very much.)
