The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1951

"I won't look at the detailed accounts. With you in the household department, I can feel a little more at ease there. Let's talk about it in general." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty, the bank was set up to promote the bank a lot earlier. Speaking of it, the treasury didn't spend too much money. Later, although some people like the Zheng family intervened in the bank and caused the bank to lose money, in fact, regarding the bank, the Ministry of Household Affairs is all independent. Set up the account book. Judging from the accounts of previous years, although there was a loss, it was not a big one. This time, Qi Guogong went out to check the bank, and the account book is also slowly returning. , very filling." Fang Yiai said.

"It's good that the national treasury is full. When I was the prince, I saw what the Tang Dynasty was like when it was poor. Now that I am an emperor, although the Tang Dynasty is rich, I can't forget the poor life I lived in the past. "Li Chengqian said: "Furthermore, when Qi Guogong went out to investigate the case of the bank, he just investigated the Zheng family. When the Wang family was found, the bank's money has already turned from loss to profit. If the investigation continues, it may not be possible to investigate. What will come out, and what result will it give me, when the time comes, I don’t know if it’s a surprise or a shock.”

It's a surprise, the money that should belong to the treasury has returned, it's a good thing, it's a shock, it really involves five surnames and seven clans, and even other aristocratic families, the scope of the matter is too wide, how will it end.

Xuan Shijing didn't have to think about how it would end, but Li Chengqian, as the emperor, had to think about it.

If you can't close the field, what will be the result?
Some people are indeed self-inflicted, but if the scope of the attack is too broad and involves too much, it will not be easy to deal with.

But the matter of the bank has to be investigated. This matter has also forced the two generations of father and son to a certain point. If they don't investigate and clean up, the bank will really be over.

With this one time, it will be even more difficult for the imperial court to do something and promote it to the people in the future.

"What Your Majesty said is true." Fang Yiai echoed, "Besides, I'm still thinking about the money in the bank, and the household department needs to find a way."

"What way?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Some people take advantage of the bank's loopholes to unscrupulously plunder the money in the bank's treasury. The adults in the household department are wondering if it is possible to brand the gold and silver ingots leading to the bank." Fang Yiai said: "However, This is only a short-term solution, if you want to last long, you need to continue the management of the dinner bank."

Li Chengqian lowered his eyes and thought about Fang Yiai's words, then nodded: "Well, what you said is also reasonable, tomorrow, I will call a few ministers, and officials from your household department will also come over, this matter can be discussed and discussed. "

"Yes." Fang Yiai replied.

Li Chengqian can also understand the meaning of Fang Yiai a little bit. If the money of the bank is branded, wherever it goes, it will carry the imprint of the bank in various places. If the family wants to make money from it, they have to think about it. You can't spend it openly, if you spend it, will it cause trouble for yourself, if someone knows that there is a large amount of silver with the brand of the bank at home, can you show evidence of reasonable ownership of the silver.

It’s not unreasonable for Fang Yiai to say that this method is temporary. Money touches people’s hearts. What if someone takes it and melts it privately? Before casting copper coins, the court was so strict, but there were still people who repeatedly violated the ban and started the furnace privately. Melting and casting copper coins, melting and casting copper coins into exquisite bronze wares, selling them to merchants in the Western Regions, and profiting from them, there is no guarantee that the same is true for the silver coins of this bank
"As for the money sent back to Chang'an this time, how long will it take for the household department to count and transfer it?" Li Chengqian asked.

"About two days is enough." Fang Yiai said.

"Two days." Li Chengqian couldn't help talking to himself, and then raised his head to look at Fang Yiai: "Okay, then two days, after two days, you bring the ledger to the Xuanzheng Palace, I want to see the ledger, so go back first Come down."

"Yes." Fang Yiai clapped her hands in response, and after taking a few steps back, she turned and left the Xuanzheng Hall.

Because of the letter from Xuan Shijing, Li Chengqian was in a good mood, but after seeing Fang Yiai, Li Chengqian also remembered the final result of this matter and the aftermath, and became worried again.

But it's only just started for a while now, and I don't know what the road ahead will be like.

And wait.

As long as the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the treasury is rich, the court cannot be full of people who are corrupt and pervert the law.

It's time for the students who came out of Dongshan County Academy to use it.

"Lin'an, the important ministers of the second rank and above in the three provinces are ordered to come to the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss matters." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes." Lin'an replied, and then left the Xuanzheng Hall for the three provinces.

Dali Temple, cell.

Ever since the case of the son of the Zheng family was personally approved by Li Chengqian and sentenced to death, the head of the Zheng family would visit his son in the cell every day.

The head of the Zheng family also knew that his son was hopeless, and the current Zheng family was in a mess. The king wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had nothing to do. Looking at the messy family, the head of the Zheng family was also upset. As for the Zheng family He didn't care much about the chaos, he just wanted to see his son more now.

He also regretted it, if he had looked at his son more and taught him more, why would something like today happen, and why would his son end up like this today?

"Father, is it true that your son can't live? Father, is there really nothing you can do? My son doesn't want to die." The eldest son of the Zheng family begged bitterly.

"Son, Dad really has nothing to do. His Majesty has already approved the paperwork for this case, and Dad's officials have also been lost. Now the Zheng family is also in a mess. No one can take care of your business." "In just a few days, the Patriarch of the Zheng Family seemed to have aged decades, his hair was gray and his face was wrinkled. On the surface, he was just a poor old father.

"No, Dad, you can go and beg Your Majesty, Di Renjie, Xuan Shijing, and Zheng An. Dad, my son really doesn't want to die." Weeping on the railing.

Li Chengqian approved the paper, but did not let the eldest son of the Zheng family die immediately, but waited for a month.

This month is a torment for the current eldest son of the Zheng family. He counts the days in this cell every day to see how long he has left to live. Let him know that he has been sentenced to death, but there is still a little bit of hope.
