The 10th Debt Collection Hero Meets Debt Anti-Debt Hero, Amorous Man Ziyang
The tenth elder brother was beaten up and imprisoned for three days for refusing to repay the debt. In the end, the eighth elder brother advanced the 170,000 taels of silver he owed. Whether he was beaten or imprisoned, he finally got through it despite the use of deception.
Jing'er. Tianwei was so angry that even the emperor's brothers were not spared. As soon as the newspaper was distributed to various places, the world was shocked. So far, all the silver owed by the brothers had been paid off. Although Yin Zhen and Yin Xiang were happy, they
They had an account in mind. The debt owed by the eldest brother Yinti was paid by the officials under the sect. The money owed by the third brother was used to support the literati in Songhe Mountain House, so Kangxi himself paid it out of the internal funds.
The ninth and tenth princes who owed the most were all taken care of by the eighth prince, Yinzhu, totaling 1.7 million taels. After the debt was paid off, Yinzhen and Yinxiang became more worried;
Since Yinhu could raise money, why did he ask the tenth prince to sell his property in a big way and cause the scandal on August 15th? Where did Yinhu get so much money to raise money for his brothers and officials? He
Why is there so much money in the family! Shi Shilun, who had just joined the household department, didn't have so much thought. Seeing the emperor's vigorous and resolute behavior, he became emboldened. In addition to the people brought from Tongcheng, he hired more than a dozen masters, all of whom were
The veteran accountant simply let go of his hands and feet to do anything, ranging from tens of millions to a few taels of money. He never let go and got to the bottom of it. Officials from the six departments were urged to talk about "households" and their faces turned pale. They complained incessantly, and someone made it up.
No., ridicule:
In the temple, there is a clay-embodied god (Yin Feng) who invites two protectors (Yin Zhen and Yin Xiang). There is also an impermanent ghost (Shi Shi Lun) who collects debts, which would scare even an iron chicken.
Complaints returned, but the treasury silver still had to be returned. By the spring of the forty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, a total of 38 million taels of silver had been gradually returned to the treasury. When Kangxi was happy, he issued an edict to Shi Shilun to make up for the vacancies in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He ordered him to pursue them to the end.
, I must complete this errand before the end of the year.
After Shi Shilun thanked him and paid his seal, he ordered someone to take a sedan chair to Shisanbeizi Mansion.
"Master Shi is here!" Seeing him get off the sedan chair, the disciples of Shisan Beizi's Mansion called Qian'er to say hello, while making a fuss about asking for money: "Master Shi is now the Grand Situ, and he is in charge of the court, so he can't even give up the money for a bottle of wine.
Reward the villain?" Shi Shilun said with a smile: "Please go to Qinglu Zhai for a drink. After you have eaten, just ask them to find me to settle the bill - is the Thirteenth Master in there?" While he was talking, a girl came out.
, said to the person at the door: "Don't make trouble, the Fourth Master and the Thirteenth Master are asking Master Shi to come in!" After that, he knelt down to Shi Shilun and silently led the way.
Because he came here often, Shi Shilun was familiar with the people in the mansion. This girl was given to Yinxiang by his third elder brother, Yinzhi, when Yinxiang fell ill the year before last. At that time, Yinxiang had just opened the mansion and granted a title, so he stayed. This girl
The girl is tall, has a long face, black hair, and is taciturn. She is very attentive and attentive to her thirteenth brother. She is Yinxiang's first cousin. Because of a purple mole between her eyebrows, Yinxiang named her Zi
Aunt Shi Shilun followed Aunt Zi and strolled in. From afar, she heard Yinxiang greeting her with a smile:
"The new Minister of Household Affairs is here! Fourth Master and I are going to congratulate you!"
"No need to congratulate you," Shi Shilun said casually, bowing to the two of them and sitting down, smiling: "I, Shi, are preparing a coffin for the little people to bite to death! Shang Yang was cut into pieces by five horses and died. Wang Anshi was worried about Banshan Hall; he was mean.
Which one of the ministers will end well?"
Yinzhen kept smiling and said nothing. He took a gauze bag from the table and handed it to Shi Shilun, saying: "Little people bite it, it's gratifying to be promoted after all. I have nothing to give. This is a pair of crystal glasses. I call you Daizhao."
The lenses are polished, so I congratulate you so that you don't have to hold up such a big mirror to read words or people." Shi Shilun took the glasses and put them on for a try. He suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery was clear and not a hair could be discerned. He took it from Zi Gu and handed it to her.
Drinking tea, he said: "Fourth Master, your heart... ugh... I won't say anything else! I came to see the Thirteenth Master today not to announce the good news, nor to thank you two for your support. Yesterday
When I entered Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince said that things were busy in the palace. Since the clean-up has achieved results, we should stop as soon as possible. The Crown Prince wanted to recall Chen Jiayou and Zhu Tianbao. Please come in and talk about it. There are officials outside.
There are still more than 10 million pieces of silver that have not been claimed back. Each of these people has meritorious service, holds a high position, and is favored by the saints. The prince has to take care of this matter!"
Neither Yinzhen nor Yixiang said anything. They had already discussed this matter before Shi Shilun came. Yinzhen thought for a long time and asked: "Old Shi, in your opinion, these governors and generals who owe debts are now
What's the plan?"
"From what I see," Shi Shilun shook his head and said, "the reasons here are all different. Some really can't afford the repayment, some want to delay, and some just want to default on the debt and wait for others to repay before they bleed." Yinzhen
He asked: "Who can't afford to pay back? Let me know what you say." Shi Shilun smiled and said: "Guangzhou General Wu Dan owes 100,000, but has already repaid 70,000. I sent a message to urge him, and he said, '
It’s about my life, but I don’t want any money—could the Ministry of Household Affairs ask me to scrape the land and collect bribes to repay debts?’ There is also Mu Zixu, and Wei Dongting owes the most debts. The two of them paid back 450,000, and still owe more than 1 million.”
Yinxiang suddenly realized: "Fourth brother! I know what these thorny people are thinking!"
"I also know what the prince is thinking!" Yinzhen said with a sigh.
Shi Shilun was a little confused. He didn't understand why the two elder brothers understood so many things after just saying a few names. He then asked: "Fourth Master, Thirteenth Master, what's wrong? You all understand."
What? There are only thirty or twenty people left, just keep urging them and they will come up!"
"It's not that easy." Yinxiang sneered and said, "If you were willing to pay it back, you would have paid it back a long time ago! They are staring at Wei Dongting. Where is Wei Dongting? He hasn't come out at all - I heard that he borrowed the money.
They are all used to support Long Live Lord's southern tour, think about how easy it is!"
Shi Shilun took a breath of air: I didn't expect Qing to come and go, and when Qing arrived at the emperor's place, how could he shave these prickly heads? While he was thinking, he saw Yin Reng coming in from outside, and several people stood up with their hands down in a hurry.
"Old Shi!" Yinfeng waved his hand to show off his courtesy, sat down with a sullen face and said, "I heard from Chen Jiayou that you didn't ask him and Zhu Tianbao to come back? Why?" Shi Shilun said hurriedly: "How dare I disobey my order? But the prince
There was a promise at the beginning that the deficit must be cleared to the end. Now there is still a large sum of money that has not been paid back. If the prince takes away people, I am afraid it will shake people's hearts. What I want to do is to ask the prince, the fourth master, and the thirteenth master again for instructions.
If there is really an urgent need in the palace, the two adults will naturally have to go back." Seeing that he had come to discuss with Yinzhen and Yinxiang first, Yinreng felt unhappy in his heart, but it was inconvenient to show up. He forced a smile and said: "Just keep the account as it should be.
, they have been in the ministry for almost two years, and it’s time to return to the palace. According to me, the loss of 50 million silver has already been recovered by 30 to 40 million. The remaining people are indeed in trouble, so they can’t be pushed too hastily.
It’s just a matter of stabilizing the current inventory.”
Yinzhen knew that Yinxiang and Shi Shilun alone could not defeat the prince, so he leaned forward and said: "This is like pushing a cart up a mountain. The last few steps are the most difficult. Once you stop, you are afraid that the car will slide to the bottom of the mountain. Prince, at this time
You can’t draw firewood!”
"Fourth," Yin Reng said worriedly, "I just came from the Yangxin Hall. Wei Dongting handed over the banknotes, and his family has been cleared of only more than one hundred taels of silver! Thirty-six officials have died since the deficit was cleared.
People, do you think you are afraid of people? If Mu Zixu and Wei Dongting are really forced to death one or two, then..." He shuddered and did not continue.
Yinxiang's heart suddenly dropped, and he asked Yinreng: "The emperor didn't say anything?" Yinreng said: "He didn't say anything, but his face was gloomy and ugly. I didn't dare to ask. I'll stick to what I said originally.
Do it and stop it when you’re done!”
"Have you ever thought about it, Prince?" Yinzhen frowned and said deeply, "If you just mess up the account like this, in less than three years, the treasury will still be empty, and it will be even harder to clear it again!"
"Order to seal the treasury," Yinreng gritted his teeth and said thoughtfully, "I won't borrow a penny!"
Yinxiang chuckled and said: "There has been a decree to seal the treasury for a long time. What kind of rules are there to order the treasury to be sealed?" Shi Shilun moved uneasily and said, "Those who have paid back the money must feel that they have suffered a loss and must work hard.
Scraping the land to get it back, isn’t this the same as rejecting wolves through the front door and letting in tigers through the back door?”
"You're talking about the same thing." Seeing that several people didn't agree with his proposition, Yinreng got a little angry and said impatiently, "He scrapes the land, I clean up the officials, and I'll kill him with a knife!" Yinxiang
He replied coldly and said, "I have given up on asking for the account halfway, but it will be even more difficult to reform the official system!" Yinreng suppressed his anger and smiled and said, "What do you have in mind?" After that, he stood up and paced back and forth.
Seeing how incompetent he was, Yinxiang shook his head helplessly and said: "Prince, it's not that we don't obey Jun's order. You have to think about it carefully. We have gained a reputation as a mean person. If we don't handle things quickly, we will collapse as soon as we collapse."
He will become a pitiful creature! In my humble opinion, we should follow the original intention of Banzai and get to the bottom of it. If there are indeed difficulties in the end, Banzai will naturally be merciful."
"Since you want to fight to the end, I won't stop you." Yin Reng suppressed his anger and said to Yi Zhen with a blushing face, "Zhu Tianbao and Chen Jiayou may not return to the palace for the time being. If we have achieved results, I
I won’t take the credit; if something big happens, I won’t take responsibility either – how about that?”
After hearing this, the three people felt that they couldn't bear it, and they all kowtowed and were silent. Yinreng sighed and said: "Oh... you shouldn't have accepted this mission! - You - just do it for yourself!"
He left in a hurry.
As Yinxiang stood up, he said to Yinzhen: "How can you just give up and leave after saying these two words!"
Yinzhen was too familiar with Yinzhen. He had no fixed opinions, was easily shaken, and did not dare to take responsibility for his subordinates, but he could not express these thoughts. After a long time, Yinzhen said: "He has his difficulties. Just go ahead.
If anything happens, I will bear the responsibility alone. As long as I make results, the prince will also..." He stopped talking.
"Fourth brother," in an instant, Yinxiang came up with an idea that he had never dared to think about: If fourth brother was the prince, then... He did not dare to think deeply, but said: "From now on, I think
You should be more restrained and avoid it. I am the imperial envoy in the Ministry of Revenue, so you should also put down your hands and let Lao Shi just follow my orders. In this way, if something goes wrong, others will not be blamed..."
At this point, Shi Shilun's enthusiasm turned into cold sweat. He said coldly: "Fourth Master, Thirteenth Master, if there is nothing else, I will resign first."
"Okay, you go back first." Yinxiang raised his head and said, "Use my imperial envoys to promote governors, governors, chief envoys and above who have outstanding debts in various provinces.
The deadline is to arrive in Beijing together within three months. I want to collect the debt in person - why are you confused? Go ahead!"
Yinzhen looked at Shi Shilun's retreating back and whispered: "Old Thirteen, what did you mean by telling me to be more evasive just now? Shi Shilun is here, I can't refute you. There are so many jackals, tigers and leopards baring their teeth, and you are alone.
Can you handle it?" Yinxiang knocked on the tea cup and said: "The situation is not very good, fourth brother! I have to save a hand. The prince probably smelled something in the emperor's place, and he had to abandon his carriage and horse to protect the general. You and I both
It's his piece on the chessboard. I don't think he has any brotherhood at all. Instead of letting everyone have a family, it's better to ensure that one is the same! My fourteenth brother and I are in the same situation. We are both broken pots. You want it too
If you come in, you won't even have the roots dug up!" Yinxiang said calmly, but Yinzhen was all boiled when he heard it: This little brother is so heartless, chivalrous and brave! Yinzhen's face is extremely pale and thin.
Biting his lips with the same teeth, he sighed for a long time and said: "I hope we think about things a little too dangerously. As far as I think, when Wei Dongting and the others are pressed for debt, the emperor will take care of them."
They paid for it! I'm afraid that the prince will cut down his morale and encourage the arrogance of the unruly official. I can only accept your treatment of me, but I can't accept it."
"Fourth brother, listen to me!" Yinxiang's tears suddenly flowed into his eyes, spinning around, but he refused to let them flow out. "The more I think about it, the more I think it should be like this. I am a bachelor, what should I be afraid of?
The worst case scenario is that they will be imprisoned! If I can't protect you, who will come out and speak for me, who has no one to love me? Fourth brother, if you obey my words, you will be loving your thirteenth brother!" After saying this, tears fell like rain.
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, came over and stroked Yinxiang's braid and said: "Okay, what's going on? Why do we two brothers always say depressing words, which makes our hearts tremble. Don't be arrogant.
I am so worried. You are still a bachelor now. I wonder if there is anyone you like? Just tell me and I will say long live for you." At this time, Zi Gu happened to come in with a teapot. She was stunned for a long time and gave it to the two of them.
After refilling the tea, he quietly left.
Yinxiang laughed through tears, wiped his eyes and said: "Fourth brother, I have fallen in love with a girl, but she is too humble and I am afraid of making Fourth brother laugh!" Yinzhen raised his face and thought for a long time, then asked: "But
That girl who just went out?" Yinxiang shook his head and said: "Are you asking about Zi Gu? That's not true. I have already taken Zi Gu in, and I will make her my concubine in a few days. I'm talking about a serious wife!
"
"It's okay to be humble," Yinzhen asked thoughtfully, "Banner people and Han people?"
"…Han people."
"no."
"I know you want to say no." Yinxiang suddenly smiled mischievously, "But you know this guy!"
Yinzhen opened his eyes wide in surprise, shook his head while recalling, and said with a smile: "Who is it? Why can't I remember?" Yinxiang said with a smile: "If I don't play riddles with you, I fell in love with the one who fooled me.
Alan, who was covered in bathwater, I once rescued her, don’t you remember? I visited Tanzhe Temple half a month ago, and it happened that Bago’s troupe also went to perform incense, and Alan was there! Now Yindu is in the Immortal Exile Tower.
I'm studying opera and haven't entered Babele Mansion yet. Once I enter, it will be difficult." Yinzhen listened, shook his head with a smile, and said: "I think you are fascinated by the opera, a golden branch and a jade leaf,
Marry an actor to be a blessing——"
"Whatever you say." Yinxiang said with a smile, "Please help me with this!"
Seeing that he admitted the truth, Yinzhen hesitated. After thinking for a long time, he comforted: "It's not that I won't help, it's too difficult. Regardless of her identity, she is still a Han. More than two years later, she
Over there, do you know if she has changed her mind now? With the ancestral family laws governing her, how dare she get a Han to be my elder brother Fujin!"
"Such a thing happened to me." Yinxiang stared blankly at the bright spring scenery outside and said slowly, "He is also an elder brother. In the 40th year of Kangxi's reign, he was ordered to inspect the Zhili River Works. He suffered from heatstroke and lived there.
He broke into a black shop, and a Lehu woman rescued him. He violated the clan rules and was tied to a wooden stake and burned alive..." Yinzhen listened, and his face turned as pale as paper - this was exactly what he was talking about!
Yinxiang continued: "...The woman's black hair was floating in the red flames, and her eyes before her death were unforgettable for this brother for the rest of his life! This brother used to have a very weak temperament, and after this experience
He was seriously ill and became crazy. Even the emperor said that he had become moody... But he didn't know that after this incident, he became hard-hearted..."
"Stop talking! Do you want to chop me into pieces?" Yinzhen roared angrily, waving his hand and giving Yinxiang a crisp slap in the face!
Yinxiang did not protect his pain, and knelt down with a plop, crying: "Fourth brother, what I said broke your heart - do you want me to be like you?"
"Did I hurt you?" Yinzhen came back to his senses and felt hurt when he saw him like this. He sighed deeply and said, "Let me try to carry a flag for her first and redeem her body, and then we can do the next thing.
One step. You know, we are all members of the court, and all eyes are staring at us. Things are different now, and some people want us to die today! We have to be more careful..." (To be continued)
