Nowadays, prisoners from various places who have embezzled disaster relief funds have been escorted to the capital one after another, and the confiscated funds have also begun to be registered by various doctors in the Imperial College of Accountancy.
Why not the household department?
It's best for the Ministry of Revenue to live in peace during this period, and we won't touch anything related to this corruption if we can.
It is also best to speak less in court, and do not speak if you can.
Last time, 300,000 taels were confiscated from the residences of a few unscrupulous officials in Beijing. Together with the 1.2 million taels from the local government, the accounts from the Ministry of Revenue gradually reconciled with the last time.
The court also felt much better because of the stolen money collected.
At least we no longer have to tighten our belts like last year.
Originally, this year it was time for some of the Chu border troops to replace their ordnance. The Emperor of Chu also planned to use the wealth in the Guoshang Academy to respond to emergencies. Now, he has money in his pocket!
Prince Qi's Mansion
The King of Qi, who was sitting in the pavilion, threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground. It took him so much effort and time to push an official from his department to the position of Minister of Household Kurabe, but now everything is ruined!
Although the King of Qi could not really win over someone with the official position of Minister, a lower-level doctor, with his status as the eldest son of the emperor and some promises, could still do it with a little effort and patience.
Moreover, by losing such a position, King Qi not only lost his power, but more importantly, King Qi could make a lot of money through his position.
It turns out that after the imperial court suddenly implemented a new supervision system, it was not easy to be greedy for money. It was more careful and cumbersome than before. Otherwise, why was King Qi so embarrassed during this period?
Don’t be greedy for money!
Well now, Dr. Kurabe was dismissed from his official position and sent to prison. So this is not a matter of being greedy for money. This way of making money has been directly cut off!
What's more important is that not only is this way of making money cut off, it may also involve you!
My father always takes money very seriously!
If the doctor confesses something, given his father's temperament, he will have to pack his bags and return to his fiefdom!
King Qi punched the stone table, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn the Household Department! Damn the loan law!"
Then King Qi gritted his teeth and looked at the servants and maids around him with a sullen face: "Get down here, all of you!"
Seeing that His Highness was angry, the maid who was rubbing King Qi's back and the maid who was helping him pour wine hurriedly walked away, not daring to look in the direction of the small pavilion again.
After King Qi turned his head and checked to make sure that no one was around him, he quickly took his hand back from the table, blew and rubbed it: "Hiss--, it hurts me to death..."
At this time, King Qi thought of Xu Qing again. If the assets of the Guoshang Yuan could be used by him, how could he be in such an embarrassing situation as he is today!
King Qi suddenly felt that what Mr. Wu said last time was true, that an emperor should be tolerant.
How can you be so casually hostile to your own people?
Xu Qing is still young, and there is a age gap between him and him. I should be more tolerant to him.
Thinking of this, King Qi stood up suddenly: "Here comes someone! Ah——"
A scream echoed through Prince Qi's mansion.
Not only do my hands hurt now, but my legs also hurt...
The legs haven’t fully grown yet, so it’s strange that it doesn’t hurt when the range of motion is so large!
Two maids came up and bowed: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
King Qi sucked in the air-conditioning and said: "Help...help me go back to rest, hiss——"
Prince Feng's Mansion
Prince Feng drank a cup of tea and murmured: "Now that King Qi's family has lost a doctor from the Cangbe Division, I'm afraid he will jump over the wall in a panic, right?"
The black-clothed guard presented an intelligence report: "It is true. Prince Qi's palace has lost another way to make money. He is still thinking about how to clear up the relationship with Mr. Cangbe and how to win over the Anding County uncle."
Prince Feng smiled and said: "It's his ability to push an official to the position of Kurabe's doctor. However, now he is in a dilemma because of this difficulty."
"If you dare to reach out to the disaster relief funds, the corrupt officials found out this time will have little chance of survival. It doesn't make much difference whether they die early or later. You go and find a way to deal with that doctor. He can't speak.
There can be no confession. It is not yet time for him, King Qi, to go back to his fiefdom."
The guard in black bowed and said: "Yes."
Xinwangfu
King Xin looked at the two pieces of information in his hand and murmured: "Brother King Feng is right, it is indeed not the time for King Qi to leave yet, that's all, let's go with brother."
Now that the King of Qi has lost his brother Feng Wang, he will be the prince if nothing else happens. However, although brother Feng Wang has the appearance of a wise king, he does not want to be the prince. It is really not good to imprison him in the capital so early.
, let’s wait for another two years...
Maybe Brother Feng Wang can really find a more suitable candidate for the crown prince, and neither of the two brothers need to stay here?
Thinking of this, King Xin summoned a guard and said, "If Brother Feng's men are unable to complete this matter, take action so that the doctor has no chance to speak."
The guard bowed and said, "Yes."
…
Half a month later, an advertisement for a soft paper suddenly appeared in the Beijing Xun newspaper, and it was a new product of the Guoshang Academy. This made both the common people and the powerful in the capital extremely curious.
The things launched by Guoshang Academy are of high quality and low price, and they are all unique, except for the bamboo leaves in the eyes of some people...
Moreover, the service provided by the stores under the name of Guoshangyuan is also very considerate. After you enter, the clerk in the store will explain everything to you from your point of view and consider it for you.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by the things launched in such a store?
Nowadays, Guoshang Academy has accumulated a large number of regular fans. No matter whether the things it introduces are useful or not, we should first become fans first.
But soon they had doubts.
Because they were a little dumbfounded when they arrived at a store selling soft paper. Soft paper? Soft paper that cannot be written on but is very absorbent?
What are you buying paper that can't be written on?
There’s cat cake?!
After being introduced by the clerks at major soft paper shops in the capital, the people who came to buy it were all dumbfounded.
This kind of paper is actually used to clean up filth?!
This new product of the Guoshang Academy immediately caused an uproar in the capital, because they have always used toilets!
What is a toilet chip?
A small piece of bamboo, scrape it a few times, whoever uses it will feel sad.
Of course, if possible, you can also use aromatherapy small bamboo slices.
Moreover, this thing is often not disposable...
Now, soft paper that can replace toilet chips has appeared, and it is also high-quality and low-priced!
As far as the advertising introduction is concerned: soft paper, easy to carry, light, absorbent and comfortable, and most importantly, affordable for everyone!
While the scholars were still hesitating, the major businessmen took the lead. They were not as timid as those scholars. Since they dared to sell the things introduced by the National Commercial Academy, they were naturally allowed to use them.
