Sure enough, it was not what Su Ren expected. After the emperor's summons, only five days passed. According to the imperial edict, the General of the Hussars, Su Ren, was appointed as the Marquis of Yong'an. In other words, Su Ren, except the Marquis, was the leader.
He is a hussar general who fights with soldiers, and he is a great agricultural officer in charge of the world's finances and taxes. These two unrelated, but nondescript official positions have led many people to have different guesses.
Some people say that Su Ren is now extremely powerful. He has money in one hand and soldiers in the other, making him the second best in the world. Some people say that this is the emperor's flattery. General Hussar sounds nice, but he is a man who does not have a single soldier in his hands.
What about idle officials and big officials? The wealth of the Han Dynasty is all in the inner treasury. The little money in the hands of big officials is not enough to pay salaries to the ministers. This is what the emperor raised Su Ren high and then dropped him heavily.
Performance. In short, everything was said, but Su Ren did not argue or complain, and took office calmly and peacefully.
Sinong Temple is located on Zhuque Street outside the Imperial City, with the Prime Minister's Mansion on the left and Taichang Temple on the right. Sinong Temple is the place where the wealth of the world is in charge, at least in appearance, but the gate is not tall or big.
Magnificent. There is no majestic lion or tall flagpole outside the door, just a few seal characters of Sinong Temple under the porch. It is said that these characters were handwritten by Emperor Gaozu himself, so there is no sense of beauty in the horizontal and vertical directions.
Su Ren did not take office alone. He brought several senior students from the academy. This is the privilege of being a doctor in the academy. There is no shortage of subordinates who are loyal to him anytime and anywhere. As the previous chief minister of Sinong Temple, Nong Erkuan has already
He was over seventy years old, with a stooped waist and a face full of vicissitudes of life. The crutch in his hand had become slick and smooth after playing with it for many years. The style of this crutch reminded Su Ren of the various things he had made when he was in Shu County.
Among the toys, there is a crutch, and the price is not low.
"How dare you, the laborer, wait at the door? Please come inside quickly. If you have anything to say, please tell me in the room." Su Ren was very polite and personally helped Er Kuan go inside.
Sinong Temple is not big. There is only one courtyard as soon as you enter the courtyard. The left and right wings are where the officials of Sinong Temple work, and the main room is where the officials work. In fact, Sinong Temple has been the most deprived department by the inner court in recent years.
For example, in Taicang, Junshu, Pingzhun, Dunei, and Jitianzhong in Taicang, Dunei and Jitian have been taken away by the inner court, leaving only the two main tasks of Junshu and Pingzhun, and these two were taken away by the Prime Minister's Office.
Exactly. In fact, Sinong Temple currently has one task, which is to allocate materials for equal distribution. In fact, anyone can do this task. According to the laws of the free market, all goods flow from places with low prices to places with high prices. As long as
The Prime Minister's Office maintains this level of control, so even if Er Kuan puts all his energy into feeding, it will probably be of no use.
While the people below were going to take over Sinong Temple, Su Ren and Erkuan drank tea and chatted in the official stable of the great Sinong. Acceptance is a procedure that every replacement official must go through, and no one is willing to wipe the Shangguan's butt.
Of course, some people who have been coveting the position for a long time have naturally understood everything about their predecessors, and accepting them is just a formality. Officials like Su Ren who were forced to come by the emperor must be careful and urgent, just in case.
There is no way to fill the hole Kuan made, and he, Su Ren, will never be taken advantage of.
Er Kuan looked very happy, his beard was trembling: "They say that the Marquis is the God of Wealth of the Han Dynasty. With the Marquis taking over the Sinong Temple, I can rest assured. In the past few years, the Marquis fought against the Huns outside the Great Wall, but I
I'm so worried! I'm afraid that something bad will happen, and I'll be accused of it for a trivial matter. If it affects the battle of the army, I'd be sorry to our ancestors!"
It was obvious that Erkuan was sincerely happy, but Su Ren couldn't trust Erkuan like a fool. No one dared to look down upon someone who had been in this stormy court for so many years. Even if he showed good intentions, he was conditionally kind.
Su Ren laughed loudly: "My lord, you are joking. My lord has served as the chief agricultural officer for so many years, and my country has achieved peace. Of course, it is your majesty's contribution. Your hard work cannot be denied. Your majesty has approved my resignation.
People can then go home with peace of mind and enjoy the care of their grandchildren. What a joy and congratulation!"
"Your Majesty is so kind, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart!"
A student entered the official stable with a stack of account books in his hand. He glanced at Su Ren and then at Er Kuan. Su Ren smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter?" He pointed at the student and said to Er Kuan, "Young man Tian Qianqiu."
, he is a descendant of Tian Qi and from the academy. I want to take over Sinong Temple, so I asked him to help! Although he is young, he has learned well. He just happened to have some experience through Sinong Temple, and he will also be a pillar of the country in the future.
!”
Erkuan nodded: "The old man came into the palace a few days ago. His Majesty praised Huo Guang, the student of Lord Marquis. The academy has trained many talents for me over the years. There are several in my official stable, all of them are officials.
!Congratulations to Mr. Hou for educating people well!"
Tian Qianqiu waited until the two of them were almost finished talking before interjecting: "Sir, there is something wrong with these accounts!"
Er Kuan's face immediately turned ugly: "This..., this..."
Su Ren was slightly angry: "Don't be so surprised. Tell me slowly if there is any problem. Even if there are problems with the accounts handled by Mr. Boss, it may be due to omissions."
Tian Qianqiu refused to resist: "I waited for several classmates to check the accounts of the past two years, and some minor omissions were also identified. However, these accounts involved huge amounts and the flow of money was unknown. Only then did I report it to the teacher, and it was also
Sir, please take a look, and if it is somewhere else, please have someone find it so that it can be written off."
Hearing Tian Qianqiu's words, Su Ren also looked confused. He reached for the account book in Tian Qianqiu's arms, flipped through a few pages and handed the account book to Er Kuan. After looking at it for a while, Er Kuan broke out in a cold sweat. If
According to the records in the account book, it is true that Sinong Temple had 50,000 gold coins missing last year, and the purpose was not specified, which means that the 50,000 gold coins were missing.
Erkuan hurriedly called for the temple minister. After several inquiries and verifications, someone finally revealed the clues. Since the beginning of last year, for some unknown reason, many people have come to Sinong Temple to borrow money, and there are many more.
There are hundreds of golds, but dozens of golds are missing. Those who can borrow money from Sinong Temple are naturally not ordinary people. With the mentality of forgiving old people and good people, these people are not owners who are short of money. The reason why they borrowed money should be because of the encounter.
When something difficult came up, he agreed and agreed to return it at the end of the year. Erkuan didn't take it to heart afterward. Who knew that something like this would happen today.
After Si Cheng explained, Erkuan also thought about it and slapped his forehead: "They are all old and confused! What should we do? I thought they were all people who kept their promises, but unexpectedly something like this happened! Lord Marquis, please rest assured.
, Tomorrow I will go and ask for them one by one. Even if I don’t come, I will pay back the money even if I sell my ancestral property.”
Su Ren waved his hand: "Sir, you don't have to be like this. Can you have a certificate when you borrowed the loan?"
Si Cheng said quickly: "There are some, and there are proofs for every transaction. I'll look for them right now!"
"It's easier if you have the voucher. Tian Qianqiu, you and Si Cheng check the voucher. If it's correct, sign for the bill!" Su Ren sent the two of them away with a wave of his hand, and then said to Erkuan: "Don't be angry, sir.
The proof can be used to explain it, and there is no need for the boss to ask for money. I, Su Ren, will take care of this matter!"
Ding Yi, the Marquis of Lecheng, whose ancestor's name was Ding Li, was also a hero who conquered the world with Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and was given the title of Marquis of Lecheng. When it was passed down to Ding Yi, there was only one Marquis of Lecheng left. After being rewarded by his servants,
It is said that Su Ren was overjoyed after personally sending Er Kuan out of Sinong Temple, and the celebrities quickly arranged carriages and horses to go out. The Lecheng Houfu was already a ruined Houfu, if it hadn't been for several "immortals" sent to the emperor this time
, is the kind of person who is most likely to be suppressed, and it is not impossible to even find a reason to be deprived of the position of marquis.
Ding Yi's carriage came out of the Marquis' Mansion and soon turned into an alley. He walked along the winding alley countless times before stopping at the door of an inconspicuous wine shop. Ding Yi got out of the carriage.
He put his head deep in the gap in the car curtain, looked around to make sure no one was staring at him, then got out of the car and quickly entered the wine shop.
"It's done, it's done!" Before entering the private room, Ding Yi shouted loudly: "Su Ren sent Er Kuan out of the gate in person, Su Ren really picked up Da Sinong!"
Luan Da and a few others were drinking in the room, surrounded by several geishas, all of whom were drunk and unspeakably happy. Ding Yi broke in, grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank three sips: "It seems that Su Ren didn't
He found out about the money, otherwise even if the Su family is rich, fifty thousand gold is not a small amount of money, and he will never cover it up for Erkuan."
Zhao Zhou laughed loudly: "That's good! As long as Su Ren takes over the position of the chief minister, it's time for us to take action. Once there is a problem, he, the chief minister, will never be able to escape. Even if His Majesty will not punish him,
I’m afraid this great man’s reputation as the God of Wealth can’t be kept!”
Luan Da nodded, turned to the side and stared at Li Shizong, who had been silent in the corner: "There is still a way for Jinghou. The people who come out of Louguan Academy are indeed different. This is called a person who is better than someone who is good at it. Come and drink and drink."
Li Shizong closed his eyes. Although he thought he was talented, he also knew how talented he was. His family had many princes and princes, but he was still an unknown person in his own generation. But what about Su Ren? In just ten years
He became a wealthy businessman in the world and held hundreds of thousands of troops in a few years. It can be said that the reason why the great Han is now has a lot to do with Su Ren, and it was brought about by Su Ren in less than thirty years. He does not look down on himself, but on himself
He simply didn't have the courage to fight with Su Ren. Looking at the three guys in front of him who were like chicken blood, Li Shizong regretted that he and Luan Da had made some progress; regretted that he had to make this plan with them.
As a student of Su Ren, I had no intention of confronting Su Ren, but how did I get to where I am today?
Ding Yi patted Li Shizong on the back: "Jinghou, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, I've arranged everything. The thirty-seven families are either princes or princesses, and the second one is marquis. Even if they are out of
Your Majesty also wants to take a look at the problem. They are all his flesh and blood relatives, so there won’t be any problems. Besides, the money was not borrowed by us and has nothing to do with us! Hahaha, drink, drink!” (To be completed.)
