Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 661
The so-called Jinhuayin is allocated separately from grain and tax to supply the palace, while the increase of Jinhuayin is composed of Tianjin Wei’s business tax and lijin income, which is sent to the palace for acceptance by the imperial horse inspector. It has become a rule in the past few years. These affairs are assigned to the inner court and are in charge of the inner court yamen. Notifying the cabinet and the household department is regarded as a greeting, and ignoring the meeting is not considered a violation of the rules.

Tianjin Wei's golden flowers and silver are sent to the palace every year with a fixed quota of 1205 million taels. It is just a habit to send it once a month. There are no express regulations on how to send it and how much to send each time.

The words Chen Ge shouted there, in the ears of the eunuchs, sounded more like an excuse in desperation. The two emperors Taizu and Chengzu had great virtues, and the courtiers dared not say anything. The palace wants to get more money, but the civil servants are always reluctant.

It’s okay to say that when tax and mining supervisors are sent to search everywhere in the world, many of them are just normal income and expenditure, and there are many people who have followed suit and satirized.This time Wang Tong handed in all the gold flowers and silver in the 11th year of Wanli, but was stopped by these civil officials at the city gate.

All the eunuchs who came out to pick up the money thought so, with angry expressions on their faces. Xu Jun, who was sent by the Imperial Horse Supervisor to pick up the money, did things in a somewhat orderly manner. After scolding him, he said again:
"My lord, it's getting late. Since the prisoner who bullied you has been captured, let's park the silver car with the younger ones. We will do the delivery tomorrow. Your lord has worked hard all the way, so you should rest earlier."

Wang Tong nodded, Xu Jun greeted quickly, and the accompanying people also got on their horses. After walking two steps, Xu Jun turned around again, rode his horse up to Wang Tong, and said in a low voice:

"I am afraid that these civil officials are not targeting Long Live Lord, but you, my lord. It may not be justified just by your lord's subordinates to testify. I am afraid that the people along the road and the soldiers of the five cities' soldiers and horses will have to take a few back to serve as human beings." certificate."

There are many smart people in the world, and Xu Jun is also knowledgeable. Wang Tong nodded with a smile, and turned around to call Chen Dahe to inform him. Chen Dahe was depressed for a long time when he entered the door, but he was relieved a lot just now, and immediately heard the order. Agreeing loudly, the convoy continued on without delay.

Wang Tong's guards on horseback and "house servants" scattered in all directions, arresting dozens of people along the way, and the rest of the people who dared to watch the excitement here all dispersed.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gates of Wucheng Soldier and Ma Si were watching a show just now, and they felt something was wrong when they saw the situation. There are also swords and guns, but Wang Tong's riding a horse is condescending, and the strict appearance of advancing and retreating is not comparable to them. A man dressed as a general flag shouted there:
"My lord, everyone is a soldier of the imperial court. Are you trying to annihilate them by doing this?"

This person is really good at hating. When he shouted, Chen Ge and others who were staggering and being dragged away also shouted:
"Even if we make mistakes, we will be punished by the judge. You have no authority to govern, Mr. Wang. You do this."

"Jin Yiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, slandering His Majesty, deceiving the emperor's serious crimes, happened in front of this official, this official naturally has the authority to govern, the soldiers and horses have personally experienced this incident, and a few people followed this official into the city to testify, this official does not want to be angry And, but if you do it, you must be ugly!"

The words were quite harsh, but the officers and soldiers of the Bingma Division had nothing to say. Wang Tong's soldiers were not good-tempered, so they went over and stretched out their hands. Someone cursed and drew a knife.

Wang Tong caught a glimpse of the man drawing the saber right away, and was immediately furious. Before he could speak, Chen Dahe beside him had already drawn his bow and set up an arrow. With a whistling sound, the arrow hit the man drawing the saber with incomparable accuracy. between the legs.

The man was still yelling, but suddenly he was nailed in front of him by an arrow, and he was stunned, and his companions hurriedly backed away. The man reacted, screamed, couldn't even hold the knife in his hand, and sat on the ground directly.

"It's just such an idiot, what's the matter with me, don't talk nonsense, and hand it over to someone!"

Being so useless, Wang Tong sneered, and said to the general banner contemptuously.

***********
After entering the city, everything settled down, and it was already dark. Although Wang Tong had stayed in Tianjin Wei for several years, he didn't need to stay in an inn in the capital. It turned out that there was a house on the South Street.

When he passed, Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan had been waiting for a long time. The banquet was simple, but it was just a few small dishes carefully prepared by the cook at the Zhenxing Building.

Ma Sanbiao and Tan Jiang also came, Ma Sanbiao and Wang Tong announced a vacation, and went back to their own house to clean up, while Tan Jiang waited here, lifted the heavy quilt curtain, and the house was as warm as spring Seeing him coming in, both Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan stood up, clasped their fists in greeting, and being with them, Wang Tong also felt at ease in his heart, and said with a smile:

"They're all from my own family, so don't be so polite. After staying in Tianjin Wei for a long time, I feel dry as soon as I enter the capital. I'm really not used to it."

Lu Wancai always held that folding fan in his hand, and when he heard Wang Tong's words, he joked:

"Master Wang will go to Tianjinwei in the future, and I'm afraid he won't be used to the humidity in Tianjin."

What he said was auspicious, and everyone laughed. Li Wenyuan was originally a taciturn man. Although he is now a member of the Jinyiwei, Wang Tong is already the commander of the Jinyiwei.

After taking his seat, Wang Tong ordered Tan Jiang to go rest and make arrangements. The three of them sat around a table and began to exchange cups. When Tan Jiang left the room, Li Wenyuan said in a deep voice:
"My lord, the prisoners captured from outside the city are now being interrogated by the Department of Public Security. The confessions made by the police have been released, but there are many officials involved in this matter. If 30 people go up, this may be troublesome."

"It's nothing to worry about. Since they call Jinhuayin the fat of the people, the anointing of the people, and the blood and tears of the people, they are slandering the emperor. It will be up to His Majesty to decide how to judge at that time."

Wang Tong said relaxedly, Li Wenyuan nodded and said no more, Lu Wancai shook his folding fan lightly and said with a smile:

"Brother Wang gave these Qingliu a blow this time. After this time, no matter what Brother Wang does, or what those Qingliu scholars want to do, I'm afraid they have to weigh it carefully, and they dare not act rashly."

"Originally, this money was intended to be sent to the palace after entering Beijing, but it was not in the name of Jinhuayin. When I arrived in Tongzhou, I saw so many snoopers along the road. As soon as I asked about the background, I sent Sanbiao and them into the city first. Let me say hello, now that the Yumajian is in charge of Zou Yi, His Majesty will not be serious about such a matter, so naturally he changed the title."

Hearing Wang Tong's answer, Lu Wancai laughed out loud, beat his palms with the folding fan, and said:
"Those gossip officials wanted to give you a good reputation, but they didn't expect you to give them a bad reputation. It's a joy to think about it."

The three of them raised their glasses again, the rice wine in the glasses, everyone drank in moderation, after a few laughs, Lu Wancai put the folding fan on the table, and said with some concern:
"Brother Wang, it is the speech officials who suffer outside the city, but it is His Majesty who is scolded. Your Majesty will not be happy about such things."

Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid His Majesty is not happy about being scolded about today's matter. I have long been concerned about this, so don't worry about it!"

Hearing what Wang Tong said, Lu Wancai didn't want to get to the bottom of this issue, but Li Wenyuan was silent for a while, and then said again:
"My lord, this amount of silver is counted as gold flower silver, so should I still give the amount of silver that was originally given to the palace?"

"Naturally, I have ordered people to go back to Tianjin to transfer silver taels."

Li Wenyuan hesitated again, lowered his voice and said:
"I don't need to say anything more about the silver taels that are donated to the palace, but if more than 200 million taels are sent back and forth, will our Tianjin Wei lose its vitality?"

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, then took a sip from his wine glass, and said:
"Who doesn't know that Tianjin Wei Jinshan Yinhai, the amount we send to the palace every year, sooner or later some people will think it is too little. Instead of asking the palace to raise money, we should take the initiative to set a quota first, which can be regarded as controlled. This time The number is used for other purposes, and is not a constant in the future."

Hearing this, Li Wenyuan was relieved, Wang Tong smiled, drank the wine in the glass and said:
"Even if the annual quota is 200 million taels, it's nothing. Everyone only knows about Tianjin Wei Jinshan Yinhai, how high the mountain is, and how deep the sea is, but they don't know, so don't worry!"

Wang Tong's face was full of pride and confidence.

***********
At Dongzhimen in the capital, scholars gathered in Qingliu, and there were crowds of people watching, and such conflicts occurred. Naturally, the Department of Public Security had a report on such things. Similarly, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Shuntianfu each sent papers to the palace.

Now that Emperor Wanli has all the power, such newspapers are collected from all over the place on his desk.

There are a few palace lanterns hanging in the house, which are unusually bright. This was mentioned by Wang Tong in the correspondence, saying that if it is dark at night, it will hurt your eyes, and the Royal Study Room changed this regulation.

Zhao Jinliang stood at the bottom, wondering if he should find a chance to go out of the palace once, and he was very excited to meet Wang Tong who had entered the capital.

Emperor Wanli, who was reading the report, looked darker and darker, and Zhang Cheng behind him also looked cautious. At the end, Emperor Wanli threw the report on the table in his hand, and said in a cold voice:

"It's not about Wang Tong, it's about the widow. Without Dazhang and Xiaozhang, the widow thinks that the officials know who is the master of the world, but they still form their own system. The widow mobilizes their own people to go to Beijing. I can't stand it, Zhang Banban, if you go on ordering, you must strictly investigate to see who is behind the instigation, and who is so lawless!!"
