Jiao Fang stepped down from the sedan chair and showed her identity to the soldier who stopped them. The soldier was naturally confused on the spot when he saw the chief minister.
Fortunately, Jiao Fang did not embarrass the other party. Instead, he said to the soldier with a kind face: "Little brother, please go help me and tell Mr. Chu that I want to see Jiao Fang!"
Although he said he had no right to let Jiao Fang in, there was nothing wrong with helping him go and clear things up.
Here Chu Yi was watching his men loading the boxes unloaded from the ship onto the carriage one by one.
Seeing those big boxes, Chu Yi realized that he had made some miscalculations. There were so many gold and silver belongings, even though some of them were jade, jewelry and the like, but the hundreds of carriages he had transferred through the East Factory were not at all worth it.
It is not enough to transfer all the gold and silver property to the capital.
Just as he was thinking about how to dispatch more carriages, a soldier came over under the leadership of Cao Shaoqin.
Chu Yi glanced at the other party lightly, and the soldier bowed to Chu Yi respectfully and said: "Greetings to the manager!"
Chu Yi nodded and said, "But what's the matter?"
At this moment, Cao Shaoqin said: "Back to the governor, this soldier came to report that it was Mr. Jiao Ge who wanted to see you!"
Hearing this, Chu Yi chuckled and said: "It seems that the response of the cabinet is not slow. Jiao Fang even came in person. I think all the people in the cabinet have risked their lives for this sum of gold and silver."
Chu Yi has such a bad reputation, but even under such circumstances, Jiao Fang was still forced to come, which shows that other people in the cabinet must be interested in this gold and silver.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Cao Shaoqin, go and bring Jiao Fang!"
Cao Shaoqin responded, took the soldier, and soon brought the two pavilion elders Jiao Fang and Chen Ding over.
When he saw Jiao Fang and the others, Chu Yi slightly cupped his hands and said, "The two pavilion elders arrived very quickly!"
Chen Ding saluted Chu Yi and said, "I have seen Mr. Chu, and no matter how fast he is, he is not as fast as Mr. Chu!"
This old man was really rude in what he said. That is to say, Chu Yi knew Chen Ding's temperament, so he didn't care at all. The Ministry of Revenue really needed such a person to control the overall situation. Otherwise, he would be just like his predecessor. He didn't know the Ministry of Revenue.
How much money will be wasted by corruption?
Jiao Fang smiled and said: "Lord Governor, I think the Governor knows our purpose well. I wonder how your Majesty will distribute this property?"
Chen Ding stared at Chu Yi closely, depending on what Chu Yi said. If the emperor's distribution was really unreasonable, Chen Ding would definitely go to the emperor immediately.
After looking at Jiao Fang and Chen Ding, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Oh, in your opinion, how should His Majesty distribute these properties?"
Chen Ding heard this and immediately said: "Of course it will be charged into the national treasury, of course at least most of it must be charged into the national treasury!"
Obviously, Chen Ding is not a fool. He saves others by himself. If anyone were in the position of the emperor and faced with so much gold and silver, even if he could put part of it into the national treasury, he could be called a prince.
Mingjun.
As for putting all the property into the national treasury, even Chen Ding himself had never thought about it.
Jiao Fang stroked her beard and secretly watched Chu Yi's reaction when Chen Ding spoke. Noticing the smile in Chu Yi's eyes, Jiao Fang's heart suddenly moved, and she roughly guessed that things were not as their cabinet members thought.
Thinking so hard, she was originally worried that something would happen, but now Jiao Fang couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Smiling slightly, Jiao Fang said to Chu Yi: "I think your majesty already has a distribution plan. The governor might as well inform us and save everyone from making random guesses."
Chu Yi cupped his hands in the direction of the Leopard Room and said: "Your Majesty is wise and has the world in mind. This time he confiscated Lu Wenyang's property and attacked 35 million vehicles. Among them, there were about 23 million taels of gold and silver. The remaining
The ones are worth more than ten million taels of jewelry and jade.”
Although they only vaguely guessed that the amount of property confiscated was huge, Jiao Fang and Chen Ding couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise when they heard what Chu Yi said.
Chen Ding took a deep breath and looked at Chu Yi and said, "I wonder how your majesty will distribute it?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "According to your majesty's decree, a total of 23 million taels of gold and silver were rushed into the national treasury to govern the country and secure the people. As for the remaining jade and jewelry worth more than 10 million, they were rushed into the emperor's private property."
Library."
After listening to Chu Yi's words and understanding the emperor's arrangements for those properties, both Jiao Fang and Chen Ding couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, they never thought that they would be able to gain such a big harvest when they came here. The goal was about half of the property. If it was not possible, then one-third.
However, I never expected that the emperor would be so enlightened and chose to put more than 20 million taels of silver into the national treasury. In this way, the imperial court would definitely become extremely rich in funds, and it would be free to do many things.
Already.
Jiao Fang and Chen Ding looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief. They subconsciously looked at Chu Yi, and heard Chen Ding say with a bit of disbelief: "Mr. Chu, Your Majesty really promised to transfer it to Chu Yi."
More than 20 million taels of silver were deposited into the national treasury?"
It's not surprising that the two of them had such a reaction. Chu Yi smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Yes, your Majesty is so eloquent that he naturally won't break his words."
"My Emperor, Holy Ming, God bless my Ming Dynasty, God bless my Ming Dynasty!"
After receiving Chu Yi's confirmation, Chen Ding couldn't help but sigh excitedly.
For loyal and upright ministers like Chen Ding, what they most want to see is the emperor's wisdom and prowess. Obviously, Zhu Houzhao's actions now make Chen Ding admire him very much.
Looking at Jiao Fang and Chen Ding, Chu Yi suddenly felt something in his heart. Just now, he was still worrying about how to transport so much gold and silver to the capital. Now that Jiao Fang and Chen Ding are here, Jiao Fang can completely let them go.
Let them mobilize the power of the imperial court.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, Chu Yi looked at Jiao Fang and Chen Ding and said: "You two, you have also seen that there are too many silver patterns. Although the governor said that he has found a way to mobilize hundreds of carriages, but
But it is far from enough to transport these grains of silver, so..."
Before Chu Yi could finish what he said, Chen Ding immediately became stronger, patted his chest and assured Chu Yi: "General Manager Chu, you can rest assured. I will return to the capital and ask you all to come up with a solution. Enough horses and carriages will definitely be dispatched to help.
Manager Chu."
As he spoke, Chen Ding said to Jiao Fang: "Master Chief Assistant, please stay here with the manager. I will go back to the city to find a way to mobilize people."
Jiao Fang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Chen Ding's intentions. She couldn't help but feel a little funny. Chen Ding was really cute. He asked him to stay here. He was afraid that Chu Yi would do something to these silver patterns, so he didn't even think about it.
, since the emperor's golden words said that more than 20 million taels of silver were deposited into the national treasury, then he would definitely not do anything about it. If this was the case, it would be better not to mention the deposit into the national treasury, but to directly transfer it to the national treasury.
All the grain silver has been charged into the internal treasury.
However, Jiao Fang didn't say anything. She nodded towards Chen Ding and said, "Master Chen, don't be too anxious!"
Chen Ding cupped his hands towards Chu Yi and said, "Mr. Chu, Chen will take his leave now."
Seeing Chen Ding's retreating figure, Chu Yi couldn't help but smile as he hurried away. He looked back at Jiao Fang and said, "Is there any difficulty in the court now?"
After all, after the turmoil, the changes in the court were quite large. Through these changes, Chu Yi supported a group of officials who were inclined to him, but relatively speaking, Chu Yi had a bad reputation after all.
He doesn't have that many people available under him, and more importantly, he still needs Jiao Fang, the chief minister of the cabinet, to stabilize the overall situation in the DPRK.
Jiao Fang smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry, Governor. Everything in the court is quite stable. When Wang Hua, Yang Yiqing and other adults recruited by His Majesty return to the capital, I think the situation will be more stable than now."
The situation in the court was changing so fast. Even if you wanted to arrange people, it would be too late in a short while. For example, Wang Hua was far away in Nanjing and issued an imperial edict to recruit people. It took more than half a month to come and go.
time.
There is also Yang Yiqing, who is the candidate for the Minister of War decided by Chu Yi after discussing with the emperor. However, Yang Yiqing has just put down Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion at this moment. I am afraid that he has not received the imperial edict yet. Wait until Yang Yiqing receives it.
It is estimated that it will be nearly a month before the imperial edict returns to Beijing.
In addition, there are some useful officials that Chu Yi has retained from Liu Jin over the years. Almost all of these officials have been placed in local places by Chu Yi. Even if they are transferred, only a very small part can be transferred.
Therefore, among the hundreds of Chinese and military officials in this dynasty, there are still very few who can actually be used by Chu Yi.
Fortunately, Wu Xun is now trying to rise up and has seen hope. He actively shows his presence in the court and stands firmly on the side of Chu Yi and the Emperor. In addition, Jiao Fang, the chief minister of the cabinet, is in the middle to mediate.
Although it went through several turmoils, it managed to maintain its operation and did not cause the court to collapse.
Of course, Jiao Fang must have put a lot of effort into this.
Looking at Jiao Fang's obviously gray hair, Chu Yi nodded towards Jiao Fang and said: "It's because you have worked so hard these days. I will ask the emperor to praise you for your contribution!"
Hearing this, Jiao Fang turned to Chu Yi with a grateful look on her face and said, "If it hadn't been for the Governor's high regard, how would I have been able to be the chief minister of the cabinet today if I hadn't been so favored by the Governor? Jiao Fang will bear in mind the Governor's kindness! I will never betray the Governor."
host!"
Jiao Fang knows very well that he is indeed capable, but unlike Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang, Yang Yiqing and other talented people, if he only relies on his own ability, he may not even be able to enter the cabinet.
The reason why he is where he is today is entirely because Chu Yi values the emperor's promotion. Even if he is promoted by the emperor, it is because of Chu Yi's relationship. If he leaves Chu Yi, I am afraid many people will not let him go, so other people
He might betray Chu Yi, but Jiao Fang definitely wouldn't.
When Liu Jin fell, Jiao Fang felt what it meant to be indifferent to human feelings, so he kept his eye on Chu Yi's thigh and would not let go.
Although he could not see through people's hearts, Chu Yi could feel the sincerity in Jiao Fang's words through her words.
He nodded slightly and glanced at the boxes of unloaded belongings in the distance. Chu Yi sighed softly: "Jiao Fang, please remember to urge the Third Division to speed up the trial of Lu Wenyang and others and come up with the results as soon as possible. Don't make your Majesty wait.
It’s just a matter of urgency!”
Jiao Fang looked stern when she heard this, and knew in her heart that Chu Yi was reminding herself.
With some gratitude, he nodded towards Chu Yi and said: "Don't worry, Lord Governor. When I get back, I will urge the three divisions to conduct a joint trial, and a result will be given within three days."
Under Chen Ding's urging, the bearer almost trotted all the way back to the cabinet.
In the cabinet, several cabinet elders saw Chen Ding returning in a hurry and couldn't help but welcome him.
Looking at Chen Ding, several pavilion elders came forward and said, "Sir Chen, what did Chief Chu Yi say? Is Your Majesty planning to put all the property into his private treasury?"
"If this is the case, there is nothing we can do!"
"Yes, the family property was confiscated this time, and the people who handled it are all Chu Yi's confidants. We can't even touch the property, let alone add it to the national treasury."
It can be seen that everyone is not very optimistic about adding property to the national treasury, so they complained when they saw Chen Ding.
After hearing this, Chen Ding couldn't help but laugh while stroking his beard, with a cheerful look on his face.
Chen Ding was a very old-fashioned person on weekdays. He had never laughed out of control like this before. Seeing Chen Ding being so out of control, everyone was stunned and subconsciously thought that Chen Ding had met Chu Yi.
I was so angry that I went crazy.
Fortunately, Chen Ding didn't know what these colleagues were thinking, otherwise, Chen Ding wouldn't be so angry.
Chen Ding, who was in a very good mood, coughed lightly, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, please listen to me!"
Several pavilion elders calmed down and looked at Chen Ding. No matter what Chen Ding said, they would not go with Chen Ding to meet the emperor.
Now, if Chen Ding goes to meet the emperor, he will force him into the palace.
That was all in the past, even if they were forced into the palace, it was not impossible, but now it is different from the past. Who knows if the emperor will give them the title of Lu Wenyang's remnant when he is angry.
Chen Ding cupped his hands in the direction of the Leopard Room and said, "Please accompany me to meet the Emperor in advance..."
Before Chen Ding could finish his words, a pavilion elder couldn't help but change his expression and cover his stomach and said: "Oh, my stomach hurts, Mr. Chen. I don't know why my stomach suddenly hurts sharply. I'm afraid I can't go with Mr. Chen...
…”
Several other cabinet elders glanced at the colleague who was holding his stomach, and cursed in their hearts, Damn, how could you do it so fast? You already have a stomachache, what excuse do you want us to think of!
Chen Ding was stunned for a moment. He saw the expressions of several pavilion elders and immediately understood what was going on. He sighed softly in his heart and said, "Everyone, just listen to what I have to say."
