lied to Kangxi

Chapter 583 The Imperial Court
When Yuzhu was talking with Li Si'er, Mammy Liu came in and said, "Go back to the old lady, according to your order, Mrs. Renya Song has brought the little girls here."

Yu Zhu never interfered with housework, he wanted to leave as soon as he got up.

Unexpectedly, Li Si'er said: "Don't go, come and take a look with me?"

Yu Zhu said with a smile on his face, "Ernie, I still have something to do in my study..."

"Hmph, no matter how big it is, why don't you just accompany me?" Li Si'er put on a pretty face and stared at Yuzhu.

Yuzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and sat back to the original place.

In Lao Tong's house, due to the existence of Li Si'er, the name is actually messed up.

Longkodo's own mother, the old Hershey, is the decent old lady in the whole old Tong's family.

As a result, in order to please Li Si'er, Long Kedo deliberately called his mother the old lady.

In this way, Li Si'er was promoted to the old lady logically.

Of course, Li Si'er was not very happy to go to Tong's old house, so as not to see the face of old Hesheli.

Anyway, in the entire Long Mansion, Li Si'er is the living ancestor, and he can come here as he wants.

No way, who told Li Sier to be lucky?

In the first half of her life, Li Si'er had a man doting on her, calling the wind and rain in the outer house, doing whatever she wanted.

In the second half of his life, Li Si'er didn't care much about Longkodo's favor.Because her own son is Yu Zhongtang who is so powerful in the world.

It is not an exaggeration to say that when Yuzhu stomped his feet lightly, the entire land in the capital also trembled a few times.

Today, in the whole capital, there are really few people who dare to show Li Si'er a face.

With the passage of time, the girls around Li Si'er have actually changed several times.

However, apart from Hongmei and Nanny Liu, Yuzhu didn't see any girl that Li Si'er was particularly fond of.

Mrs. Song, Renya, has been in the human trafficking business in the capital for many years.

This Mrs. Song is very intelligent, and she specializes in the business of big and wealthy families in the capital. Not only does she have a good reputation, but she also has a very strict mouth.

Back then, Hongmei was the little girl that Mrs. Song personally sent to Li Si'er.

In today's Long Mansion, due to the continuous increase of Yuzhu's sons and daughters, there are not enough servants with children, which requires a large number of purchased slaves.

The so-called family birth refers to the fact that both parents are slaves of the Long family.

According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, the children of domestic slaves must be slaves and handmaids for generations, and they will never have a bright future.

This is really, if you are a slave for a day, you will be a slave for life!
Yuzhu's children are all grandchildren of Li Si'er, so she naturally loves them.

However, Li Si'er has always had a bad habit of liking Cypriots.

So far, all of Yuzhu's sons and daughters have been surrounded by servants who have been forced into by Li Si'er.

Who dares to say no to a grandmother who is a direct relative and arranges a few servants or maidservants to serve her grandson or granddaughter?

After Mrs. Song was led into the room, she saw that Yu Zhu was also present, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said respectfully, "You bitch, Mrs. Song, I greet the old lady, Yu Zhongtang, the old lady, Yu Zhongtang, all blessings and golden safety."

"Come on." Li Si'er and Mrs. Song were already old acquaintances, so she gave up her seat to Mrs. Song without putting on airs.

If only Li Si'er was present, Mrs. Song, who has seen a lot of great world affairs, would dare to sit down.

However, Yuzhu was also in the room, even if she borrowed eighty courage from Mrs. Song, she could only stand obediently with her head bowed.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree!
In front of the mighty Yuzhu, how dare Mrs. Song make a mistake?

In the eyes of modern people, concubine is definitely not a good word.

However, in front of Yu Zhu, if Mrs. Song, who has always been in a lowly business, uses the self-proclaimed concubine, that is a proper act of arrogance.

This is the same as most people, even if you want to be a slave, you can't get it!

When the maids were led into the house row by row, Yuzhu saw the appearance of Yingying Yanyan, almond eyes and peach cheeks, and then suddenly realized.

Dare to feel, Li Si'er committed another old problem, and wanted to stuff people into Yuzhu's room again.

Cough, I must admit that Mrs. Song does have a few brushes, and the maids she brought are all very juicy, and the skin is so tender that water can be squeezed out.

You know, in this cannibalistic society, the daughters of poor families usually have withered and yellow hair because they don’t have enough food and clothing to keep warm.

And because of always doing housework, daughters from poor families usually have very rough skin on their hands.

However, these girls brought by Mrs. Song are all of high quality, with extremely delicate skin.

It can be seen from this that after Mrs. Song bought them, she should have put a lot of thought into raising them well.

"Brother Zhen, you haven't added anyone to your house for a long time. Pick a few and try something new?" Li Si'er saw that Yuzhu's interest was not high, and added, "If you don't want them, they will be sold in." Then go to a dirty place, alas, that is called destruction."

Zhizi Moruomu!
What Li Si'er said really touched Yuzhu, he thought for a while, and said: "I believe in your vision, you can help pick a few of the most handsome girls, and give Hongmei to teach them? "

"Hey, that's right." Li Si'er fell in love with her son, and happily called Hongmei to help her pick the girl.

Beside Yu Zhu, there were almost all beautiful women, Hongmei restrained her jealousy, picked out eight of the most handsome girls in a practical way, and led them away.

Mrs. Song was very happy when she saw that the business was a big deal, and when she kowtowed, there was a thumping sound.

Grandma Liu led Mrs. Song out to pay the bill. After Mrs. Song took 400 taels of silver bills from the accountant, she changed hands and stuffed [-] taels of silver bills into Mammy Liu's cuff.

"Mrs. Liu, you always take care of my business. A small thing, just tea money, is not respectful at all. Please accept it." Not only did Mrs. Song stuff the money, but she also spoke in a very mellow manner, which made people feel very mellow. comfortable.

Seeing that Mrs. Song is so good at being a person, Grandma Liu couldn't help smiling and said: "I said Sister Song, don't forget what I entrusted to you."

Mrs. Song knew that after Nanny Liu's son got married, he never had a golden grandson in his arms, so she thought about buying a housekeeper with a big butt for her son to carry on the family.

"Mother Liu, don't worry about your old man, I will definitely inquire carefully for you." Mrs. Song left Long Mansion through the side door contentedly while being polite.

The Household Yamen of the Qing Dynasty was actually the busiest yamen in the entire imperial court.

Every day, in the gatehouse of the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs, there are at least thirty or so Beijing officials and foreign officials waiting for Yuzhu to be interviewed.

No matter how much money the court has, it is not enough to spend.

Yuzhu himself said it very vividly, ten large tanks, but only six lids, so he had to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and mend the left and right seams.

After entering the Qingxi Bookstore, Yuzhu saw that the Zongling Yaerjiang of the Clan Mansion, the old man who was in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and the university scholar Wang Jian who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry were all present, so he understood, and asked him to force him to Here comes the money.

"Your servant, Yuzhu, respectfully greet Khan Ama!"

"Eli!"

As the old emperor called out, Yu Zhu stood aside.

"Yu Zhu, why haven't you transferred the money from the clan mansion?" The old emperor stared at Yu Zhu.

Yuzhu bowed his waist, frowned, and said very distressed: "Huihan Ama, the payable silver from Zhejiang and Jiangsu has not yet been delivered, and there is no silver in the bank of the household department." He cried out loudly.

The old emperor nodded, turned his head and aimed at Yarjiang A.

Yaerjiang'a did sue Yuzhu behind his back, but he also knew how powerful Yuzhu was.

Now, in front of Yu Zhu, Yaerjiang had no choice but to say: "The clan's mansion is going to repair the jade certificate, and it will cost a lot of money. ?”

Yuzhu smiled faintly, and began to settle accounts for Yaerjiang A.

"On the 30th of last month, the Ministry of Households just allocated [-] taels of silver to the clan's mansion. It took only a few days to spend all of it? King Jian, there is a war going on in the northwest, and the money is like flowing water. I am not a cornucopia. , I can’t change half a tael of silver!” Yuzhu meant that, if it’s really urgent, then someone should be sent to check the account.

These days, which yamen's accounts can withstand scrutiny?
Yaerjiang was originally Yuzhu's immediate boss.It's just that he was unlucky, he offended the old emperor, was dismissed from office, and went home to rest for several years.

Unfortunately, when Yaerjiang'a was doing nothing at home, Yuzhu was making great progress in the court and had become a towering tree!

Yaerjiang didn't dare to speak anymore, the old eighth took the initiative to stand up, and said very sincerely: "Brother Yuzhu, the relationship with the construction office is very important, and the money cannot be stopped!"

Yuzhu cupped his hands and said, "Myna, the money from the manufacturing office has never stopped. It's just that in just half a year, more than 100 million taels of silver have been spent, and no account has been written off yet. "

The meaning of this is very clear, it is okay to give money, first write off the previous accounts, and then allocate funds.

If it was an ordinary person, Lao Ba would naturally dare to make fake accounts to fool him.

However, under Yuzhu's hands, there are a group of masters who are good at auditing accounts, and Lao Ba dare not insist on it.

Unlike the clan mansion, the building of the office is the old emperor's private matter, and it is normal to spend money like water.

Yuzhu didn't dare to hold back the money from the manufacturing office, but there was indeed only a little money in the treasury of the household department.

Wang Jie coughed lightly, and was about to make trouble, but Yu Zhu took the initiative to say: "The Ministry of Industry's money for repairing the embankment can only be delayed this year."

"Why?" Wang Jie immediately became angry and asked Yu Zhu loudly.

Yu Zhu said coldly: "Nearly tens of millions of taels of silver are spent on repairing the embankment every year, but the embankment still collapses every year, so it's better not to repair it."

"Is there any reason for this?" Wang Jian immediately became impatient. The money for repairing the embankment is related to the interests of many officials and gentry. How can we just stop it?
Yuzhu knew very well that the suspension of the river project this year was actually the old emperor's intention.

However, the old emperor has a good face and a good name, and this blame can only be carried by Yu Zhu, the God of Wealth!
Alas, there is no way, ever since Yuzhu took charge of the household department, there have been frequent lawsuits like mouths asking for money in front of the old emperor!
