The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 587 Doubt
Xia Qing deserved to be so thick-skinned that he didn't blush when the emperor exposed him. He just went on to say, "Of course, a small amount of money makes a lot of money. Of course, the profit of only one Gu's soap is small. If you add other families, it's still enough." Up."

Seeing that the emperor's face was normal, Xia Qing said it more confidently and boldly.

According to his meaning, that is to find a few merchants, find out the fault, and exploit them severely, and solve the problem of side pay first.

It's a pity that no matter how he hinted before, the emperor refused to accept him.Now that the emperor is getting older, his actions are becoming more benevolent, and his methods are too gentle, so he is a little hesitant.

The emperor glanced at Xia Qing, this is the old story being brought up again.

There are countless merchants in the world, and there are many people who accumulate gold and jade in their homes.But if he really did this, those merchants would be in danger, and it might cause immeasurable consequences.

What's more, this time the problem of border payment has been solved, but the Ministry of Households has no income, and the treasury is still not full.

Next time I still need money, should I go to those merchants to pay for it?Wouldn't the Dayan Dynasty be in chaos?

The emperor thought that this method must not be done unless it was a last resort.Once a precedent is set, those courtiers will become unscrupulous in the future.

"This matter can be discussed later! I will entrust this matter to you, and you will have to give me an answer tomorrow. Remember, you are not allowed to increase taxes privately, and the business is not feasible for the time being. If you violate it, don't blame me for not doing it." Show mercy!"

After the emperor spoke, his tone was quite harsh.Officials in those places feel that the temple is far away. If they increase taxes privately and deceive others, how will he know?
Xia Qing's heart trembled, the emperor said that he could not increase the tax, but asked him to solve the border payment problem, could he still make money?
The emperor is forcing him!He had no choice but to start from the household department. It is not impossible to move the money in the household department, but before moving it, he must think of ways to increase the income.

Otherwise, he just said that the Ministry of Accounts and Accounts gave the money, and the emperor might not agree.

Xia Qing was helpless at this time, if this matter was not handled properly, the emperor would definitely use excuses to send him off severely.

"I obey the order! I will do my best to relieve the emperor's worries and problems. However, the payment here is more than four months old. If I want to pay back all of it, it is too much to do!"

Xia Qing frowned tightly, looking embarrassed.It is absolutely impossible to return all of them. Shen Shikang must have been beaten to death and refused to take them out.

If they are all returned, then the national treasury will be really empty, and it is estimated that there will be nothing left.

It has only been a few months since the beginning of the year, and the tax money collected by the imperial court is only a few million taels, and it is estimated that it can just fill the hole in the salary above.

The emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the words, he knew Xia Qing was a treacherous one, and he didn't ask about the general, so he was happy not to say anything.

Look, it turned out to be waiting here!
"I'm not asking you to make up for it all, but you have to make up for it for at least two months, and then send some food and grass to the frontier. You can ask the Ministry of Households how much money you need."

The emperor still left room for it, Xia Qing is very cunning, if he doesn't force him, Xia Qing can make him a hands-off shopkeeper.

Xia Qing knew that the emperor had made up his mind, and it would be useless for him to say more, so he had no choice but to agree.

But the words still can't be said to death, otherwise the old man Shen Shikang disagrees, can he still kill him?

That old thing is not so easy to be assassinated, but he got fishy all over if he couldn't eat fish.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really embarrassing, and I can't guarantee it. I can only do my best, and please forgive me."

Seeing that he still wanted to bargain, the emperor felt even more unhappy.Impatient to listen to his complaints, he just waved his hand.

"Kneel down! I'm tired too."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The emperor rubbed the center of his brows, and saw Xia Qing stand up tremblingly with his legs propped up, his legs seemed to be numb, and his movements were extremely slow.Cautiously took a few steps back, turned around and went outside the Imperial Study Room.

Xia Qing left the imperial study room, constantly looking for a solution in his heart.

The emperor didn't mention the money from the household department, but just stared at him, even though he meant to make him bow his head and embarrass him.

But this matter is not something he can solve alone. It was originally the responsibility of the household department to solve the border payment, but now it is on his head.

Suddenly, he stopped and realized something.It is well known that he likes money, and some people in the court have interviewed him many times for this.

It is said that he condoned his clansmen to do harm to the local area and amass money wantonly in the local area.Could it be that the emperor has set his mind on the Xia family, right?Otherwise, why keep staring at him?

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to get the Ministry of Households to pay out this batch of money, so as to please the emperor.

Only now did he realize that the emperor had been dragging this matter on and not resolving it, and he must be making other plans.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Qing couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the emperor planned to do something to him?
The Ministry of Finance definitely didn't plan to make a move this time, no wonder he kept crying at the court meeting. Although the emperor was furious when he saw this, he didn't force the Ministry of Accounting to pay the money.

Xia Qing only felt that his hands and feet were cold. He had already analyzed on weekdays that the emperor needed a balance of power between the court and China. If he wanted to weaken his power, he must support officials or aristocratic families to fight against him.

But the emperor also needs him to restrain him, and he has been with the emperor for many years, so he has been tolerated to this day.Although the holy family is not as good as before in the future, they will not abandon him.

But now the emperor actually wants to take money from him, could it be that he thought of some good way to balance the power of the court, so that he is no longer needed?
No, he has to go back and think about countermeasures.Xia Qing hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, preparing to go back to summon his cronies, brainstorm and figure out the emperor's intentions.

It has to be said that Xia Qing and the emperor have very similar personalities, they are extremely suspicious, a look or a word can make them think a lot.

When Min Feng saw the teacher leaving the imperial study room, he looked very preoccupied.He didn't dare to call out to the teacher, so he could only watch helplessly, but the teacher left without looking back.

Min Feng was stunned, left?So what is he going to do?The emperor just sent someone to tell him to rest at home for a few days, he was very flustered, he didn't know what the teacher and the emperor talked about, he couldn't help worrying about his future.

However, after this incident, he also has a long memory.Things in the officialdom are changing rapidly, and he must be cautious in doing things in the future, and he can't be as rash as this time.

In fact, he is not without responsibility for this matter. The teacher asked him to read through the books, but he did not read carefully, and finally showed his feet in front of the emperor, and his success fell short.

The teacher has paved the way for him, but he failed the teacher's expectations.He was even more disturbed at the moment, fearing that the teacher would be so disappointed in him because of this matter that he would no longer pay attention to him.

He couldn't help but think of Gu Chengyu again. It seems that when facing Gu Chengyu in the future, he has to put up 12 energy to deal with it.

Zhang Hai is not young after all, after kneeling for so long, his body can't help but wobble.What happened this time is really not worth the candle, and it's too late to regret it now!
　I forgot to tell everyone that there are thousands of updates today!
　　Thanks to the bearded grandfather for the reward!
