Chapter 503 Fang Qingping wants to be in power, but the account is wrong
"If I were you, I wouldn't stay in Chang'an City."
"You can go anywhere in the world, even if you go to Lingnan, which is a little more deserted, it's not impossible."
Seeing that Fang Yuan didn't speak, Li Zhi continued.
"His Royal Highness, you can see things like this at such a young age. I really admire you."
"If Your Majesty and all the gentlemen understand my thoughts, I won't have to be so difficult."
Fang Yuan sighed and said.
Judging from Li Zhi's current situation, Datang is destined to be even more glorious in his hands in the future.
Now that Wu Ruyi has followed him, the Tang Dynasty will not have another queen, and the glory of the Tang Dynasty will not be restrained because of this.
"It's just that the teachers teach well."
"King Zhou, when will you give me another lesson?"
Li Zhi said modestly.
Then he raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes full of hope.
Science was a course that had only been taught once so far, and he and the other two very much hoped that Fang Yuan could come back to teach again.
"You also know what happened to me recently. I will apply to the court when I have time and give you a lesson."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
He was still nominally the prince's teacher, although he only had one class.
Many people in the imperial court were opposed to Fang Yuan being the prince's teacher before, and Kong Yingda and his disciples also caused a lot of trouble.
Later, Fang Yuan was very busy with the title of king and the preparation of the Maritime Silk Road, so he postponed the opportunity to give lessons to Li Zhi and others.
Originally, Li Shimin randomly chose the science course for Li Zhi and the others, and Fang Yuan's teaching quality was only good, so the court didn't push him if Fang Yuan didn't have time.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Li Zhi gave Fang Yuan a master's ceremony.
He and Fang Yuan parted ways after walking to Chengtian Gate.
As soon as he left Chengtian Gate, Fang Qingping caught up with Fang Yuan.
"Sir, do you have time for a private chat?"
Fang Qingping looked at Fang Yuan eagerly.
There is hope and urgency in his eyes.
“Where do you want to chat privately?”
Fang Yuan nodded and did not refuse.
"this way please!"
Fang Qingping was immediately overjoyed and invited Fang Yuan to go aside.
This is still within the imperial city, and the Liubujiu Temple has its offices here.
But in addition to various departments and institutions, it is also a livable place.
There are many places that are very suitable for pleasing the eyes and creating a familiar environment for people.
After the two walked for a while, they came to a pavilion next to a lake.
The view here is very good, relatively wide, it is not easy to hide and eavesdrop, and it can also make people look fair and aboveboard.
It's a good place for conversation.
"Sir, do you need your subordinates to keep an eye on Gao Shilian for you?"
Fang Qingping said in a deep voice.
He looked at Fang Yuan, very sincerely.
"Then just keep an eye on him and let me know immediately if anything happens."
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded.
There is nothing wrong with the ledger, you can check how much money you made.
But Gao Shilian was a very quick-tempered person who could do anything, so he would inevitably get into trouble.
Since Fang Qingping is willing to help, let him help and keep an eye on Gao Shilian.
"Um...has your Excellency ever thought about dragging Gao Shilian down?"
"This person has targeted you in many ways. Regardless of whether you are in the household department or not, he regards you as a thorn in his side."
Fang Qingping took a deep breath, clenched his fist slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"I've thought about it, but I'm not sure enough to defeat him."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
It is no secret that Gao Shilian has repeatedly targeted Fang Yuan.
It's just that he was a high-ranking scholar with high moral integrity, and he was Changsun Wuji's uncle, so he also had a relationship with the royal family.
In addition, he tried to make things difficult for Fang Yuan in various ways, but none of them were enough to defeat him, and he was not sure that he could defeat Gao Shilian.
"if......"
Fang Qingping approached Fang Yuan and whispered in Fang Yuan's ear.
After saying that, he looked at Fang Yuan nervously and excitedly, looking forward to Fang Yuan's decision.
He was also very dissatisfied with Gao Shilian, who had been bullied by Gao Shilian for a long time.
Even now, he is under attack from Gao Shilian in the Ministry of Household Affairs and is in a marginalized position.
But if Gao Shilian is pulled down, and he has only one minister of household affairs, he is very likely to rise to power.
"Adventure!"
"You can wait for him to commit the crime, but you can't commit it!"
"If the evidence of guilt is not irrefutable, then the emperor will not give you a chance to overthrow him."
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.
What Fang Qingping meant was that when Gao Shilian was used to check the account books, he secretly made fraud, thereby unjustly accusing Gao Shilian of cheating.
With such evidence, and the fact that Gao Shilian was witnessed by so many people in the court, Gao Shilian's ouster was almost without exception.
But there is a difference between true fraud and Fang Qingping's false accusation to unjustly accuse Gao Shilian. He may be discovered, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Because it was discovered, Gao Shilian's fault originally became the fault of Fang Qingping and Fang Yuan, and the consequences were terrible.
For example, the court may find reasons to confiscate Fang Yuan's money, and even the newly crowned king with a different surname may be attacked by the officials.
"yes."
Fang Qingping felt a little regretful and could only accept it.
"I have to warn you again. You must not cheat. This risk is not worth taking!"
Fang Yuan saw Fang Qingping like this and felt that the other party didn't take it seriously, so he warned him.
"yes!"
Fang Qingping trembled, not daring to have other thoughts, and left quickly.
Fang Yuan sat there for a moment, then stood up and left, leaving the palace.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The day for Gao Shilian's reconciliation has arrived.
He wanted to give Fang Yuan an answer today.
Early on, Fang Yuan had people urging him.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Gao Shilian's people wrote back to Fang Yuan, saying that the results had been obtained and asked Fang Yuan to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Household Department.
After Fang Yuan arrived, Sun Wuji, the Minister of Civil Affairs, arrived in advance.
In addition to him, several representatives from other ministries were also waiting for Fang Yuan.
"Where is the emperor?"
"How can I explain this matter without the emperor being present?"
Fang Yuan looked around, looked at Gao Shilian, and said in a deep voice.
"The reconciliation is just a small matter, no need to trouble Your Majesty, we can start."
Gao Shilian said in a deep voice.
"You said it's just a small thing?"
"It's just a small matter, you mentioned it during the morning session?"
"Go, invite the emperor to come over, and tell me what I said!"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly and glanced at the officials from the Ministry of Revenue.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a moment, some of the officials from the Ministry of Revenue stood up and saluted Fang Yuan before leaving.
Fang Yuan also served as a minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and also served as a minister for a period of time, and he had certain supporters.
Gao Shilian watched the official leave, his eyes became a little gloomy, but he did not stop him.
Changsun Wuji and others waited silently and did not stop him.
About time passed and Li Shimin was invited.
As Li Shimin was invited, more representatives from the six departments came.
The last six ministers all arrived.
"let's start."
Li Shimin sat on the main seat and said calmly.
After hearing this, Gao Shilian took a deep breath and asked someone to bring out Fang Yuan's account book.
"After three days and three nights of liquidation, our household department finally came up with a terrible figure."
"Here are the revenue and expenditure amounts of the three major factories, as well as the final profits, which are 143 million, 92 million, and 51 million respectively!"
As Gao Shilian's number was revealed, even Li Shimin became uneasy and his eyes flashed with horror.
The other ministers even took a breath, thinking that they heard wrongly.
You know, the imperial court's annual tax revenue is just over 60 million.
The revenue of the three major factories is 143 million!
They are more than twice the imperial tax revenue.
If you say these account books are several years old, can you tell us.
But it seems that it has only been less than three years since the establishment of the three major factories.
In less than three years, the income was more than twice the imperial tax revenue.
How terrible!
There are also profits from it.
Fifty-one million!
Fifty-one million, how big is that?
I have never seen so much money in my life, and I can’t even imagine how much money there is.
At this moment, everyone in the six departments present could not calm down.
"In addition!" Gao Shilian looked around at the crowd, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In addition, according to our count of cash at the shipyard and estimation of famous paintings based on the market, we all know that it is more than 86 million!"
"hiss!!!!"
Before Gao Shilian finished speaking, the ministers present could not help but gasp.
They all looked at Fang Yuan one after another. Even though Fang Yuan was calm and composed, they all looked at him uncomfortable.
"Be quiet, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"I would like to ask His Highness King Zhou, how does the difference of more than 10 million between the shipyard's money and the net profit of the three major factories come from?"
Gao Shilian looked at Fang Yuan and said.
After he finished speaking, the officials present also looked at Fang Yuan.
Li Shimin did the same and looked at Fang Yuan.
He was shocked that Fang Yuan Shipyard had more than 86 million in property.
There is no doubt that the national treasury does not have that much money, and his internal treasury does not have that much money, nor does it add up.
Rich as a country!
This is a country with incredible wealth!
"Does this king only have three major factories?"
"What you need to do is not to question why I have so much money, but whether there is any problem with the accounts of the three major factories."
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
In fact, he didn't know how much money the shipyard shipped.
Once there is too much money, it becomes a number. Fang Yuan has not cared about money for a long time.
Now Du Miaoyan controls the money, and Xue Jiaoyan, Wu Ruyi and others are also helping with the management as accountants.
"Since His Highness the King of Zhou mentioned this, there is indeed an account I cannot understand here. Please explain it to His Highness the King of Zhou."
Gao Shilian waved, and an official immediately picked up the top two books from the boxes brought by Fang Yuan.
After asking Gao Shilian for advice, he walked towards Li Shimin and paid Li Shimin the problems in the ledger.
Li Shimin listened carefully and looked at Fang Yuan twice, not knowing what he meant.
But the expressions of the officials present changed.
Finally, the account book came to Fang Yuan after passing through Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui and others.
"Please indicate to His Royal Highness the King of Zhou why the difference between the two accounts is so huge, it is as huge as one hundred thousand!"
Gao Shilian stared at Fang Yuan and said.
"You have made things difficult for me!"
"I don't care about money, let others spread your beauty."
Fang Yuan just glanced at it and didn't look at it again.
Indeed, the same account is a different record, which is a problem.
If this problem cannot be solved clearly, then Fang Yuan's money will be said to be problematic.
Because if one record is wrong, other records may also be wrong, and more difficulties will arise, etc.
Gao Shilian did not speak, but looked at Li Shimin.
"Look what I do?"
"I am not busy here to seek justice. You are the person in charge of this accounting review."
Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice.
He snorted in his heart and was slightly dissatisfied with Gao Shilian.
It seemed that Gao Shilian respected him and asked his opinion.
But instead, he was allowed to make the decision and tied himself to a line.
Although he was shocked that Fang Yuan made so much money, he had no objection as long as it belonged to Fang Yuan.
Huaxia Bank sent a lot of money to his inner treasury, and the three major factories also played a big role in boosting the economy of Datang.
As long as it is compliant and legal, Fang Yuan can earn this money.
Gao Shilian smiled sarcastically and made people pass on Du Miaoyan.
Du Miaoyan did nothing in Fang Mansion today, just waiting to be summoned.
Sure enough, after being summoned, Du Miaoyan immediately brought Xue Jiaoyan, Wu Ruyi and Lu Xia into the palace.
“I’ve met Princess Zhou!”
When everyone saw Du Miaoyan, everyone except Li Shimin naturally had to salute.
After all, Du Miaoyan is now Princess Zhou, and her status is already above them.
"I've met you all."
"Gao Shangshu, if there is any problem, please point it out."
Du Miaoyan saluted Li Shimin first, and then everyone else saluted her.
After all the trivial etiquette was over, Du Miaoyan looked directly at Gao Shilian and asked.
Xue Jiaoyan and others also looked at Gao Shilian, as if they were waiting for Gao Shilian to make a move.
Gao Shilian looked at the official just now and motioned him to take the account book to Du Miaoyan.
Du Miaoyan glanced at it and then looked back at Xue Jiaoyan and Lu Xia. She did not remember such an account.
In fact, it’s normal even if you don’t remember. The three major factories are big factories, with more than 3,000 people in each factory, and their financial support income is huge.
"Let us check!"
Xue Jiaoyan did not remember such an account for a while.
She didn't care about etiquette and was about to sit on the ground and start checking the accounts, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.
"After I left the Ministry of Household Affairs, everyone became blind. Didn't they move stools?"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
Gao Shilian's face suddenly stiffened.
Before he needed to speak, Fang Qingping immediately brought the stool himself.
When leaving, he shook his head towards Fang Yuan, indicating that he had not seen Gao Shilian cheating.
Fang Yuan did not respond, but he knew what he was doing and asked Xue Jiaoyan to check his account.
Wu Ruyi and Lu Xia immediately came over to help, and the three of them began to check the accounts.
Everyone looked at Xue Jiaoyan and others with complicated expressions.
After burning the incense, Xue Jiaoyan stopped her movements, looked at Fang Yuan with a grim look on her face, and shook her head slightly.
When everyone saw it, their expressions suddenly became more colorful, and Gao Shilian's eyes even brightened.
"How, can you explain the problem with this account?"
Gao Shilian spoke up.
"This account...is wrong."
Du Miaoyan took a deep breath, stood up and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
There is an error in this account, which means there is something wrong with Fang Yuan's account book.
If there is a problem with this account, there may be a problem with other accounts as well.
Eighty-six million, such a huge amount, if you can get even one cent?
"Since Princess Zhou personally said there was a mistake, then the Ministry of Revenue requires a thorough investigation for one month. Isn't that excessive?"
Gao Shilian said with a proud smile.
Everyone looked at Du Miaoyan, and finally looked at Fang Yuan.
