Chapter 340 One call and hundreds of responses

"Besides, with such a large sum of money being deposited in Jinyiwei, not only you and Cong won't worry, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep either.

Therefore, it is planned to store them separately to ensure safety and to reassure the court officials. "Jia Cong said.

"How to store it?" Emperor Xifeng asked.

"Jinyiwei is responsible for this matter, so he will keep 40% of it; the household department is well versed in economics and will keep 30% of it; in addition, your majesty, please take the trouble to send someone to keep 20%.

As for the clan, I would like to ask a prince who is highly respected, upright and upright to keep 10% of it. I think Prince Zhongxin is very suitable.

In this way, you can rest assured that it is stored in four places, right? "Jia Cong said.

"This is an excellent idea." Yan Ning and Feng Yuan said loudly.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Xifeng's mouth. Jia Cong was somewhat loyal to the emperor. Knowing that I was short of money, he sent me a big gift.

With a whoop, a large group of poor officials from science and education, poor Hanlin, and poor officials from Qingshui Yamen came out of work together, knelt on the ground, and said: "I ask the emperor to put the people first and the powerful first, accept loyal words, and act in the king's way. , then the world will be at peace!"

Two to three hundred people knelt on the ground in darkness to speak, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Prince Zhongxin winked, and dozens of clan members also hurriedly came out. They couldn't kneel down in front of them, so they had to bow and said: "I second my opinion. Please do this, Your Majesty, for the benefit of the present generation and for the benefit of the ages."

Prince Zhongshun saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly said: "If the clan wants to share 10% of the silver, it should be placed in the clan mansion and jointly supervised by everyone in the clan. How can it be given to each other privately?"

"This is a very good statement. That 10% of silver should be kept in the clan's mansion." A dozen loyal princes agreed.

Prince Zhongxin was very anxious, and he could not take the initiative to ask for money management, so he kept winking at Feng Yuan and Jia Cong.

Prince Zhongshun is the great Zongzheng and is in charge of everything in the Zongren Mansion. If this money is placed in the Zongren Mansion, what does it have to do with him?

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes at Zhongxin, and for the sake of the fat man who was riding in the same boat, he said: "That's inappropriate.

The people in the Zongren Mansion have many things to do. The Ministry of Household Affairs has never managed the money and food allocated to the Zongren Mansion over the years. The old accounts have not been settled, and now you want to take care of the deposit? Let’s sort out the old accounts first, and then take care of them later. "

As soon as he spoke, one or two hundred people behind him said in unison: "I second the proposal. The accounts of the clan's mansion are not clear and are not suitable for management."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "In my humble opinion, Prince Zhongshun must be loyal to the court and should be encouraged.

However, Jin Yiwei comes to collect the money. If there is a deficit, it belongs to the subordinate, or to the prince?

In order to convince the public, I asked your subordinate to send a special person to verify the accounts of the clan's mansion over the years. If they are clean and correct, the money will be handed over to the clan's mansion to take care of it. The court will be at ease, and so will your subordinate. "

"This method is very good, and it should be like this." Dozens of loyal clan members hurriedly spoke in agreement. Let me ask, which department can withstand Jinyiwei’s audit?

Prince Zhongxin breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Cong was a bit of a loyal guy and was not someone who would burn bridges by crossing rivers.

Prince Zhongshun looked a little embarrassed, and went around and around, but failed to catch the sheep, and instead made a fuss. He waved his hands and said: "Why bother, the clan is all a family, who is in charge of it, isn't it the same?"

What's more, I think that the clan's mansion has many affairs, and even if I manage this money, I don't have enough manpower. Just let brother Zhongxin take care of it. "

"Your Majesty is so upright and upright, I admire you from all my subordinates." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said.

Immediately he looked at the opposing nobles and officials and said, "Your Majesty, I do not necessarily want to accept money from you sirs.

As long as someone vouched for it in front of the emperor in the Golden Palace, saying that their shop was clean and upright and would never do anything illegal.

If so, I can trust a third-level penalty, so why not waive the deposit? "

Feng Yuan and Zhongxin said hurriedly: "This method is feasible. You must prove your innocence, but you are not willing to pay money or say a word. How can there be such truth in the world?"

All the officials and nobles felt bitter in their mouths. How dare they say such big words in the Golden Palace? This is not seeking death. They all remained silent.

Jia Cong glanced around and saw a group of cowards who said loudly: "Your Majesty, everyone is waiting for you. I ask for the Holy Judgment."

Emperor Xifeng was very happy in his heart, but his face remained calm and he said calmly: "My dear friends, do you have any objections?"

No one spoke.

"Military Aircraft Department, do you have any objections?"

Huo Peng and Dong Yi looked at each other and said, "I have no objection. I think this method can be tried. If it is not good, it will not be too late to withdraw it."

Although the interests of the new party were damaged, the losses of the old party were much greater. Both of them knew that Jia Cong would not let the new party suffer.

Jiang Feng, who was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, strongly supported this method and said hurriedly: "I think this method has hundreds of benefits and no disadvantages. Please give instructions and implement it."

The other three old party bosses looked at each other and sighed. They couldn't argue anymore and let this kid be proud.

"I have no objection."

Emperor Xifeng nodded and said: "In this case, the law of good deposits will be fully implemented without any mistakes. The Jinyiwei will be responsible for 40% of the collected silver, the household department will be responsible for 30%, I will send a special person to be responsible for 20%, and the Zhongxin County King will be responsible for 10% .”

"My Holy Emperor," more than three hundred people said in unison.

Jia Cong secretly laughed in his heart, there are still many miserable people in the world.

Anyone who is against this thing is rich, and everyone who is in favor of it is poor.

Poor people are in the majority everywhere, even if they are relatively poor.

As long as it is profitable, they can be fooled by vested interests.

Feng Yuan, this damn fat guy, is really familiar with the imperial struggle, and Jia Cong secretly admires it.
-

After retiring from the imperial court, all the young poor officials and poor censors were all happy. After a verbal spat, the yamen would have much more funds, so why not do it.

Just as Jia Cong was about to leave, two fat men came up to him, one on the left and the other on the right.

"How do you two behave in public?" Jia Cong smiled bitterly.

"Brother Zilong, come and sit in my yamen?" Feng Yuan said with a smile. Although he was asking, he did not give Jia Cong any room to refuse.

Jia Cong sighed, summoned a young eunuch and said, "Father-in-law, could you please find a place for us to talk, and then invite Mr. Dai to come."

The little eunuch in the palace, who didn't know the relationship between Jia Cong and Dai Quan, hurriedly asked someone to invite him, and personally led him to find a room in the Chonglou on the east side of Baohe Hall, where the three of them could talk and pour tea.

Feng Yuan said with a smile: "Zilong can still eat it." Jia Cong sat down and said angrily: "What do you have to say? The money has not been confiscated yet, so there is no need to talk about the money."

Feng Yuandao: "Your Majesty's golden mouth has been opened, why should I be anxious? But let's make it clear first, I won't allow my writing to be brilliant, and you have to give us the full amount of what's ours. It's not in vain for me to go all out for you, just look at me. The waist is even thinner.”

Prince Zhongxin said hurriedly: "I only have a pitiful 10%. It's not enough to send the brothers away. Don't use your brains on me."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You two are really used to judging others based on your own opinions."

"First the villain, then the gentleman."

"It's better to be cautious."

"Okay, okay, I understand, what else is there?"

"How much do you think we can get this time?" Feng Yuan whispered.

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "There are more than 10 million, but I dare not boast. If it is too high and cannot be taken out, you may think that I have tampered with it."

"Are we this kind of people?" the two people asked hurriedly.

Ha ha.

When the two of them saw Jia Cong, they obviously couldn't trust their own character, which was reasonable.

“In addition, this amount of money attracts attention from both China and abroad, so we must be cautious.

I, Jin Yiwei, spend this money in an upright and fair manner, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks, and no one dares to check the emperor's inner treasury. The treasury of the Ministry of Revenue can be used as long as it is used.

As for you, don't let anyone grab your sore foot, otherwise it will be difficult for me to deal with when the time comes. "Jia Cong looked at Prince Zhongxin.

Prince Zhongxin said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I don't know about this little thing? It must have been done flawlessly."

Jia Cong nodded and said: "Brother Feng, you know how much support Huo and Dong have for me.

With this money, I hope you will take more care of the new party, so that I can explain it in front of the two elders. "

"It's natural. If you don't understand this kind of kindness, how dare you hang out in the court? With 30% of the money, as long as the two prime ministers approve the note, I will give it to you, how about it?"

Although Feng Yuan was the right minister, because he and Shangshu Yan Ning were close friends and both belonged to the fence-sitting faction, he sidelined Xiao Ming, the left minister who belonged to the old party. Yan Ning was only in charge of the direction and not the specific tasks, so he would tell the Ministry of Household Affairs what he wanted.

"So, Cong is very grateful."

"You and I are as close as brothers, so it's vulgar to say thank you." Feng Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes, we all talk about fate." Prince Zhongxin chuckled and said, "We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. When will the fate return this time?"

Feng Yuandao: "If we have no chance to meet each other, it will be a spring breeze if we come early."

Jia Cong's head was covered with black lines and he said: "Suddenly a spring breeze came overnight, and within two months the pear blossoms bloomed."

"With these words, brother, we have confidence in our hearts." The two laughed.

At this time Dai Quan came in.

"Our family has met the prince and Mr. Feng. Brother Cong is really in high spirits today."

"I've seen the Prime Minister." The three of them returned the greeting.

"I don't know what I can tell you when I call you?" Dai Quan said with a smile.

"Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister in person for his great virtue, and secondly, I want to congratulate the Prime Minister for trying to attract wealth again." Jia Cong said with a smile.

Dai Quan smiled and said: "Since I have fantastic ideas, why don't we try our best? I need to cure the iron rooster."

Everyone laughed.

Before parting, Feng Yuan pulled Jia Cong and whispered: "Zilong, walk slowly, I have a small request, please help me."

Jia Cong was a little cautious, but the fat man was full of bad ideas.

"What's the matter?"

"My little girl Su likes poetry. I have admired Zilong for a long time and his poetic talent is unparalleled in the world. How about I ask you to give me a poem?" Feng Yuan held Jia Cong's arm tightly, with an expression like if you don't give it to me, I won't let you go.

Jia Cong said: "Let's talk about it some other time. There is no poetry today."

"Zilong can just compose a poem to suit the occasion. With my talent, why don't you think it's difficult?" Feng Yuandao said.

Jia Cong frowned slightly, looked at Feng Yuan carefully, and said, "Brother, let's be honest. Why do you ask for my poem? I already have my heart set on it."

Feng Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "There is absolutely no intention. In fact, because the little girl looks a bit... plump, girls from aristocratic families in the capital love to laugh at her for this.

Therefore, I asked my brother to write a poem to help my little girl gain some face and avoid being bullied by others. It is absolutely nothing wrong. "

Jia Cong burst out laughing when he heard this. He felt sorry for the parents in the world. Fatty Feng had no access to the court and would bite anyone he caught. Unexpectedly, he was a slave girl. He laughed and said, "How dare I disobey my orders?"

Feng Yuan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Jia Cong asked the eunuch for a pen, pondered for a moment, and said, "Now that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, I will write a peach blossom poem." After finishing the poem, he handed it to Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan hurriedly took it and took a look:

Ode to Peach Blossom·Cheng Feng Miss

On a windy and rainy day in February, spring returns, and I feel the passing years under the peach blossoms.

There are still three thousand trees in Canhong, which are not as bright as the first flower.

A good boy, he is worthy of being the most talented person in the world. Feng Yuan praised him repeatedly and raised his head to say thank you. Jia Cong had already gone.
