Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 117 Two factions are fighting, you come and I go, the role of Dongchang! (seeking subscription and monthly ticket)

What the hell?

Ask Dali Temple to check?

Your Majesty is no longer with Simu?

The most surprised ones were the officials of the Liu Party faction.

Originally, they thought that Fang Pingan, the right servant of the household department, Mr. Fang would have the same result as the previous two, and that His Majesty would make peace with each other.

result……

Let the people from Dali Temple come to investigate?
Does this stand up to investigation?

Some Liu party core officials knew Fang Pingan's identity in their hearts.

If you know something about it, Mr. Fang didn't check it!

The officials of the Yang Party faction were pleasantly surprised.

Although Fang Pingan is a clean stream.

But it is by no means pure and clear through the ages.

In today's Great Wei, there are still a few officials who dare to say that they are clean.

Even if it's really clean, it's okay, you can make him unclean.

The matter of treasure money is so important, even if you think of a way, you have to make him unclean.

……

Today's court meeting is held from early morning to noon.

In the end, at Jiang Ling's request, it was settled for the time being.

Hundreds of officials retreated.

walked out of the palace.

This time, Jin was divided into three streams.

There were discussions.

Things in the court today can be said to be ups and downs.

Any piece of news is enough to discuss for days on weekdays.

……

Kyoto, Qin Mansion.

After Liu Yanming left the palace.

Didn't even eat.

Go straight to Qin Wangfu.

Of course, it was through the side door.

Avoid the eyes and ears.

Sitting in the study, the king of Qin hurried over without waiting for a long time.

As soon as they met, they asked: "It's so risky to come here in broad daylight, what is Master Liu's business?"

King Qin's face was serious. He was still eating just now, and his confidant came to report that Liu Yanming came to visit.

Just came to my place right after the morning court?
Could it be that something important happened in the court?

Under normal circumstances, the court meeting itself will not participate. Although it is said to be the regent, it is only a regent.

My niece has only been in office for a few months, so she can't go too far.

"My lord, the matter of the treasure banknote is very bad."

Liu Yanming said with a serious face.

"Say!"

King Qin sat down and made a sound.

"At the court today, Yang Ning recommended..."

Liu Yanming began to narrate the events in the court today one by one.

It fully explained the time for half a stick of incense.

in the library.

Very quiet.

After hearing this, King Qin also fell into deep thought.

quite a while.

Liu Yanming said: "King Qin, the current situation is not good for us."

King Qin: "My lord knows."

Silence for a moment.

"Yao Guangyun's appearance is indeed something I didn't expect, brother Huang left behind."

King Qin pondered for a moment before coming to a conclusion.

In his eyes, Yao Guangyun had always belonged to the late emperor.

When changing rice to mulberry, he entered the palace to offer advice.

Now the matter of treasure banknotes has begun to enter the court as an official again.

"But it doesn't matter. Yao Guangyun is not scary. No matter how powerful he is, there is only one person. As long as the matter of treasures is activated, it will sweep the entire Wei Dynasty. He alone Yao Guangyun can't control so much."

Qin Wang said flatly: "The loss of the position of the person in charge does not affect the overall situation. The key is the core position, and our people must sit on it."

Originally, the person in charge of fighting for the treasure money was to facilitate the placement of his own people.

Yao Guangyun sat on it, but King Qin didn't care.

As long as it is not a member of Yang Dang and Li Dang.

"Xiaguan thinks that things may not be so simple." Liu Yanming said with a frown.

"You said."

King Qin remained calm.

"Look, my lord, Yao Guangyun was personally recommended by Yang Ning. With Yao Guangyun's reputation, do you need to use Yang Ning to recommend him?"

Liu Yanming organized the language and began to explain.

"The first emperor once promised the position of prime minister, and Yao Guangyun never entered the court as an official. Now even if it is for the great Wei treasure, why do you need to get involved with the Yang party?"

"Wouldn't it be better to have a relationship with His Majesty?"

When the King of Qin heard this, he immediately laughed: "You are so confused! Old Liu."

"Yao Guangyun is such a smart person, it is impossible to take the relationship of His Majesty if he is in the relationship with anyone else, even if he is in the relationship with us, he will not be in the relationship with His Majesty."

"The matter of the Great Wei Baochao is a policy that the emperor has always wanted to implement."

"But after so many years of preparation, why did it take until today to start taking action?"

"Why?" Liu Yanming asked cooperatively.

"Because everyone can see the consequences of the Baochao incident!" King Qin said slowly: "Da Wei Baochao's policy is an act of killing chickens and taking eggs. It can only solve the current problems of Dawei, and it will not last long."

"And once the Great Wei treasure banknote is issued, it will sweep all the forces in Great Wei, forming a torrent, and directly squeeze the Great Wei out."

"The greed of the human heart is unavoidable for non-sages."

"The big Wei Bao note is just a piece of waste paper, but it can be exchanged for thousands of silver. In this world, except for saints, who can be exempt from vulgarity?"

Liu Yanming was startled when he heard this.

He also understood the reason, but he didn't think too much about it.

Now that King Qin said this, he immediately understood.

I was shocked immediately.

"My lord, then we..."

Liu Yanming wanted to say that as long as the gates are strictly controlled and guarded by people from the Confucian Academy, these things can be avoided.

But when he thought of the word "Xinxin" that King Qin said at the end, he stopped talking again.

Having been an official for decades, I have seen the ebb and flow of the court.

How can anyone not understand the weight of the word "people's hearts"?
Qin Wang slowly took over the words: "Actually, there is a way to solve the sequelae of Da Wei Baochao."

Liu Yanming was overjoyed when he heard this.

"any solution?"

"war!"

Qin Wang narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce look in his eyes.

Liu Yanming just thought for a while, and immediately understood the meaning of it.

Suddenly he took a cold breath and looked at King Qin's eyes with a faint trace of fear.

This is crazy.

……

And this time.

in the palace.

Supervisor of rituals.

Wang Xi dismissed many eunuchs, with a bright smile on his face, he said to Xu Shouyun flatteringly, "Mr. I can't bear to drink."

"Congratulations to Eunuch Xu for being promoted to the second-rank deputy manager today. Our family specially took it out."

Wang Xi was shocked in his heart.

As expected, his guess was not true, Xu Shouyun was definitely taken by His Majesty.

Otherwise, how could it be possible for a young eunuch to be promoted so quickly after entering the palace for only a few months.

Even if there is a monstrous achievement, it is impossible.

There is only one possibility, and that is His Majesty's face.

And deeply loved by His Majesty.

Thinking that His Majesty will be double ten years old after all, although he is the emperor, it is inevitable that he will not cherish spring.

And Xu Shouyun's appearance, tsk tsk tsk!
"Boss Wang is being polite." Xu Shouyun said with a smile.

Tea tasting?

Longjing before the rain?

For him, the real thing can't come out.

Of course, superficial skills still have to be done well.

A decree yesterday.

I became the deputy director of the second-rank eunuch.

It can be said that the status has risen in a straight line.

Look at those little eunuchs, you can tell by the gifts sent by the eunuchs in charge of the halls last night.

Roughly, the gifts in my house alone are worth 3 taels.

The eunuchs in this harem are really rich.

Originally, I was still planning whether to publish this collection of words again, make some money, and exchange it for medicinal materials for cultivation.

As a result, the matter has been resolved before I think about it.

Concentrating his thoughts, Xu Shouyun took a sip of tea, and returned to the main topic: "I don't know why Director Wang summoned his subordinates? You can't just taste tea, right?"

Last night, Director Wang's congratulatory gift had already been delivered.

To invite myself again today must be something important.

"Eunuch Xu is really smart. Our family really has something important to discuss with Mr. Xu."

Wang Xi smiled slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked serious: "A while ago, His Majesty told our family to be in charge of the East Factory. These days, the eunuchs who left the palace have also settled in various departments smoothly, and they are familiar with the relevant departments. matter."

"It's just that His Majesty hasn't issued any instructions for the next step."

Speaking of this, Wang Xi frowned slightly, paused, and said: "Your Majesty will not set up the East Factory for no reason. Your Majesty will set up the East Factory and reuse our family. There must be important things to do. But right now, Your Majesty But there was no instruction, so our family thought about it, so we only came to ask Mr. Xu for advice..."

A while ago, Xu Shouyun told himself that His Majesty would reuse us.

Then, His Majesty set up the East Factory.

Then, now Xu Shouyun was ordered by His Majesty to be promoted to the second rank deputy manager.

Therefore, in the current situation, it is best to ask Xu Shouyun.

For one thing, you don't have to figure out His Majesty's thoughts by yourself.

Your Majesty is not like the late emperor, he can follow the late emperor's front and back, it is easy to figure out.

Your Majesty is a daughter after all.

Secondly, it is also to please Xu Shouyun, which is an attitude, even though the other party is only the deputy manager and his deputy.

But if Xu Shouyun was really used as a subordinate, it would be too blind.

My own chief executive will be the end.

After being in the palace for so many years, if he didn't understand this point, he would have been fed to a dog long ago.

Wang Xi pondered in his heart.

"It's easy!"

When Xu Shouyun heard this, he immediately smiled.

Regarding the Dongchang matter, even if Wang Xi didn't come to him, he would go to Wang Xi.

After all, this is the power that belongs to oneself in the future.

Of course, escort all the way.

"How do you say it? What's your opinion, Eunuch Xu?"

When Wang Xi heard this, he was overjoyed. His guess was indeed correct, and he asked the right person.

"Director Wang, if my subordinate guessed correctly, there should be a task for Dongchang to join the Sixth Department of the Chaotang, right?"

Without waiting for Wang Xi to answer, Xu Shouyun continued, "Especially the eunuchs in the household registration department."

When Wang Xi heard this, he was secretly surprised and became more certain of his thoughts.

"Yes, that's right."

Xu Shouyun picked up his teacup and said, "Everywhere in the lower levels, count the number of good fields in the Great Wei as soon as possible."

"Among them, the Household Department is the main one. Check the internal files of the Household Department to find out the number of fertile land registered by each family and clan in the various prefectures of the Great Wei Dynasty."

Xu Shouyun spoke slowly.

The territory of Great Wei was extremely vast.

Although there are many eunuchs in the palace, it is impossible to inquire and verify them in person.

If this is the case, even if all the eunuchs in the palace go to all the ministries, they will not be able to do it.

What's more, there is a time limit.

Therefore, there is only one way, in the name of the six ministries, to issue an inconspicuous order to ask all regions to check and register.

At the same time, compare the six internal files and check them one by one.

Many eunuchs in the palace have read books.

Literate at least.

Although it is a bit too much to ask them to write articles, poems and lyrics.

But it is still very simple to check and compare, try to figure out people's hearts, and distinguish true from false.

After all, this is what they have been practicing for many years.

If he didn't have this ability, he would have been fed to dogs long ago.

"Eunuch Xu is right."

Wang Xi was not surprised. He felt that it was normal for Xu Shouyun to know this, even if it was His Majesty's secret order.

"I just don't know what suggestion Eunuch Xu has."

Xu Shouyun smiled slightly, and did not immediately answer Wang Xi's question, but asked instead: "I wonder if the statistics of this fertile land can be completed?"

Wang Xi: "Ninety-nine out of ten have been counted. Only the surveys of places a little farther from the frontier have not been compiled and compared. There are more than ten days before the statistics can be completed."

Xu Shouyun said indifferently: "This step has been achieved, then the next step for Manager Wang is to count the amount of tax and silver over the years."

Wang Xi was startled when he heard this.

"Statistics on the amount of tax money over the years?"

He was a little puzzled.

"Correct!"

Xu Shouyun nodded affirmatively.

"Why?" Wang Xi asked the doubts in his heart.

Xu Shouyun said: "What is Your Majesty doing to count the fertile land?"

Without waiting for Wang Xi to answer, Xu Shouyun continued to ask: "What is the biggest problem of Great Wei today?"

"silver!"

"money!"

"And power! Imperial power!"

When Wang Xi heard this, he immediately understood and was shocked.

"Thank you, Eunuch Xu, for your pointers."

"Our family understands."

At this moment, the shock in Wang Xi's heart could no longer be described in words.

Statistics of fertile land, compared with tax and silver over the years.

Although Wang Xi is only an eunuch, he does not participate in court affairs.

But at any rate, he is also the head of the palace, so he still knows some basic information.

Over the years, the amount of the Great Wei Tax Bank has not been consistent.

For example, there was a difference of 400 million taels of silver between the year before last and last year.

Even if there is a natural disaster, even if the harvest is not good, can there be such a big loss?
Well, even if it is, there is a difference of 300 million taels of silver between the previous year's tax silver and the previous year.

Although the Dawei tax money is not collected according to the amount of fertile land, the tax money is decreasing year by year. If we start with fertile land and compare the tax money over the years, it must be tricky.

And right now, what is His Majesty lacking the most?
silver!

imperial power!

The three parties in the DPRK and China are at odds.

The three vassal kings of the Great Wei ruled.

And His Majesty established Dongchang at this time, and allowed Dongchang to enter various ministries.

This series of information emerged in Wang Xi's mind.

A bold idea gradually became clear in Wang Xi's mind.

Seeing Wang Xi's expression, Xu Shouyun immediately understood everything.

But Xu Shouyun didn't say anything more.

Just drinking tea with a flat face.

Anyway, I didn't say anything.

It's all Wang Gonggong's own thoughts.

Of course, these are also things that your prince must do.

Only you have laid the foundation of Dongchang.

The foundation is solid.

It's easy to take over by yourself.

If you take over the East Factory now, wouldn't you have to do everything yourself?

How tiring!

In the hall of the chief inspector of ceremonies.

Wang Xi and Xu Shouyun were thinking about the plans in their minds.

……

At this moment, Jiang Ling finished his lunch.

Getting ready to take a break.

She who just lay down suddenly thought of something, sat up again, and called out.

"Yunrou."

"The maid is here!"

Chu Yunrou who was standing outside the door responded immediately.

"How about what I asked you to do yesterday?"

Jiang Ling asked.

"It's been done. At present, Xu Shouyun has officially joined the Supervisor of Rites and is the Deputy Director of Ouchi."

Chu Yunrou replied respectfully.

But thinking in his heart, he still underestimated Xu Shouyun.

In the past, after His Majesty rewarded him, he would not ask too much.

But this time, the decree was issued yesterday, and after lunch today, I asked.

Obviously he was very concerned about Xu Shouyun.

"How did Xu Shouyun react when the decree was announced?"

After thinking about it, Jiang Ling asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Eunuch Xu is very excited and grateful for your majesty's reward."

Chu Yunrou responded formulaically.

"I mean...forget it, go down! I'll squint for a while, and wake me up after half an hour."

Jiang Ling originally wanted to ask Xu Shouyun's expression.

But thinking that Chu Yunrou didn't know Xu Shouyun's true identity, she stopped.

In his heart, he was thinking, wake up early, finish approving the memorial as soon as possible, and take time to see Xu Shouyun tonight.

……

　I worked two chapters overnight, and my condition is much better today. I adjusted my schedule in the past two days, and then I started to explode!
