Chapter 546 Officials attack!

Chapter 546 Officials take action!

"Husband, why are there so many royal guards outside?"

Nalan Yanran came over with several maids, and when she saw the royal guards outside the courtyard, she asked curiously.

"Haha! These Jin Yiwei are the introduction. Tomorrow morning, someone will definitely make a big fuss about this. Then, I can use it to attack them, and maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

Lin Fan knew very well what those aristocratic families were thinking. If he secretly mobilized the Imperial Guards, they would definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble for him.

On the morning of the second day, Lin Fan appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony early.

"My dear friends, do you have anything to report today?

If not, just retreat from the court first, the prince still has many things to do."

Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

Ahem!

At this time, someone among the civil and military officials coughed, and a gray-haired official slowly walked out of the crowd.

"Your Highness, I have something to report!"

The old man said in a deep voice.

Lin Fan knew this person. He was Zhao Haiyun, an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Ni Yuanlu didn't say anything, but he stood up and wanted to report. It seemed that he was the person promoted by the noble family.

"Oh! Zhao Aiqing, if you have anything to report, please tell me."

Lin Fan asked with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, Wei Chen is the chief registrar of the Household Department. He is in charge of the issuance and recording of various funds. Yesterday, the Household Department suddenly transferred a large amount of funds, as high as 70 million Ming coins. I suspect that someone is doing something secretly. Please

Your Highness the Crown Prince will conduct a thorough investigation!"

Zhao Haiyun said in a deep voice.

Throughout the civil and military dynasties, there was silence.

Everyone was staring directly at Lin Fan. Zhao Haiyun's move was obviously a trap for Lin Fan. If Lin Fan said that he approved some money, the officials would definitely bring out Emperor Chongzhen to speak out. At the same time, they also

I want to ask Lin Fan what the money was used for.

By then, if Lin Fan tells those martial arts sects, the purpose of these officials will be achieved, and then the topic of impeachment can be started.

If Lin Fan didn't mention it directly, not only would he lose people's support, but these officials could also bring the matter to the issue of impeachment from other aspects.

"The 70 million Ming Dynasty coins were approved by this prince, and there will be a large amount of Ming Dynasty coins allocated in the future. Didn't Ni Yuanlu tell the people in your household department?"

Lin Fan said in a deep voice, taking the lead in attacking.

Lin Fan did not believe that Ni Yuanlu did not intercede with the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs for allocating such a large amount of money. This person was pretending to be confused. As long as Ni Yuanlu admitted it, he would punish him for dereliction of duty.

"To report to His Highness the Crown Prince, our Ministry of Accounts must notify the Six Ministries of such a large flow of funds before disbursement can be made. All the officials of the Six Ministries should have known about it yesterday."

Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.

Li Jiantai also stood up at this time and said: "Reporting to His Majesty the Crown Prince, the Ministry of Husbandry indeed reported the matter yesterday, and everyone in our Ministry of War is aware of it!"

"The Ministry of Punishment also knows about it!"

Du Buju also said.

Zhao Haiyun was stunned. He originally thought that Lin Fan would cover it up a bit, but he didn't expect that he had no intention of covering it up at all. He directly told the matter, as if it was an aboveboard matter.

"Oh! Since the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment know it, Zhao Aiqing, as an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, why don't you know it?

Could it be that you neglected your duties and were not there at the time?"

Lin Fan looked at Zhao Haiyun indifferently and asked.

this……

Zhao Haiyun was so frightened that he trembled and knelt directly on the ground. At this time, several officials came out and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao has been busy with official duties. He has been walking around in various ministries in the past few days. I don't know about this matter.

Excusable."

"Moreover, after he learned that a large amount of funds were flowing, he immediately informed His Highness the Crown Prince of the matter, which shows Lord Zhao's loyalty!"

Lin Fan looked at these officials and said: "So, Zhao Aiqing is busy with official duties. In this case, Zhao Aiqing should go back first."

"Your Highness, the flow of so much money, please clarify the purpose of it. It's not that we don't trust His Highness, it's just that this doesn't comply with the process!"

An official said solemnly.

Sure enough, this group of people started to get into trouble.

Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "All this money has been used for business, and it is a big business that will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty without any harm. In the future, my Ming Dynasty's finances will definitely be very wealthy."

"Moreover, what is being spent at this time is the Ming Dynasty coins, which can also promote the circulation of the Ming Dynasty coins and promote the rapid economic development of the Ming Dynasty."

After Lin Fan finished speaking, another official said: "Haha! Your Royal Highness, although I am not an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I also know that if too many Ming coins circulate in the market, it will only cause the devaluation of the Ming coins, which will be invisible.

, the shrinkage of people’s assets will cause irreversible losses.”

"Your Highness, the ministers are from the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the past, our government issued treasure banknotes, but because too many were printed, the people were in dire straits!"

"At this time, His Highness the Prince has printed so many Ming coins, and the people will lose confidence in the Ming coins!"

"Besides, after investing such a large amount of money, His Highness the Crown Prince only said that he would do business. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Zhao Haiyun mustered up his courage and said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Lin Fan smiled slightly and said: "My dear friends, let me ask you a question. If the common people have a tael of silver in their hands, will they spend it?"

"This...of course it won't happen. The common people have a few taels of silver in their hands, so they naturally want to save it. This is their annual expenses!"

"About that, one tael of silver is exactly what the common people spend for a year. I have actually calculated this."

The officials said one after another.

"Now, what if I let the people have two taels of silver in their hands?

Will they choose to spend it?"

Lin Fan asked again.

"This...if the common people have two taels of silver in their hands, they will definitely spend it, such as buying more clothes or something."

"Haha! It's true. Every Chinese New Year, if they have a lot of money, they will definitely use it to buy some new clothes, especially for their children."

Officials talked about it with smiles on their faces.

Lin Fandao: "It seems that you all have some understanding of the living habits of the common people. If the common people buy a few new clothes every year, does it mean that the income of the tailor shop will increase?"

"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince is right! Once the people buy more clothes, the income of the tailor shop will increase!"

"Not only will the income of tailor shops increase, but the income of cloth sellers and dyeing shops will also increase!"

An official said.

"Haha! That's right. Since the income of the dyeing house has increased, it means that the order volume has increased. Do they need to recruit more workers?"

Lin Fan said with a smile.
