Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 833 "Seizure"
Li Wei is having a hard time recently, whoever offended him is Prince Heshuozhuang Bo Guoduo.

In the clan, the highest seniority is Prince Heshuozhuang Boguoduo, grandson of Emperor Taizong and cousin of Kangxi.Although he is over seventy-seven years old and not a talented Zuozheng, he is still named in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Even this prince, in his rare years, is still as lustful as his life.Love meiji, focus on pleasure, Prince Zhuang's mansion is not big, but its magnificence is always second to none in the capital's palace.

In addition to the prince's annual salary of 1 taels of silver, there are also properties such as Zhuangzi's shop under the name of the prince's mansion, and the annual income is also quite large.However, because of the high cost, the money is like flowing water, not to mention anything else, the cost of rouge and gouache for dozens of concubines in the palace is not a small sum.

Bogoduo's life is also very tight, so he naturally has to think about ways to make money.

Taking advantage of the duty of the Ministry of Accounts, he held the treasury of the Ministry of Accounts, and for every 1000 taels of money and food in the treasury, he received an additional ten taels of balance.

The reason why the household department yamen is a famous fat job in the six departments is because of this "Pingyu" money.This "Ping Yu", also called "Yu Ping", is a continuation of the rules of the Ming Dynasty. In the collection of taxes, a certain share is levied according to the proportion and given to the Ministry of Households.

These "surplus" silver are not entered into the national treasury, but distributed directly to officials of the household department.

Now, Bo Guoduo has increased the income of "Yu Ping" by twelve taels, and the income is in the bag openly and aboveboard.

He relied on the old to sell the old, while Kangxi cared about his love and turned a blind eye. After all, the money was collected extra and did not affect the income of the household department.

Even the fourth elder brother, who was also on duty, could only choose to remain silent about Bogoduo's self-enriching behavior.

However, Li Wei stabbed the hornet's nest and offended Boguoduo severely.

In fact, he has been in the Cao family for several years, and he has been fascinated by it, and he is no stranger to being greeted and sent off in the officialdom.He didn't intend to be nosy, but he was a little anxious when he saw that the officials who escorted the tax money from a certain province had not prepared the extra "surplus" money before, which made the money delayed in storage.

The Northwest Army claims to be in the hundreds of thousands, and the loss of military supplies among them will cost money.

The treasury of the household department is already empty, and the money escorted from each province has been booked out every time it arrives in the capital.

It is bitterly cold in the Northwest, and the soldiers can't stand the cold there. There was a precedent for soldiers freezing to death last year. For this reason, the Ministry of War has to purchase new cotton clothes and transport them to the Northwest before winter.

Now, I am waiting for this money to be used to buy clothes.

This silver cannot be stored in the warehouse, and the purchase of cotton clothes will be delayed.

Although Li Wei did not join the military, he also paid attention to the Northwest War.After all, only when the country is peaceful can life be lived comfortably.

If soldiers who served the country and the people did not die at the edge of the enemy's sword, but died in the bitter cold, how could it be human?

Thinking of this, Li Wei felt that he dared not stand by and watch.Although his rank is not high, he happens to be responsible for the storage of silver, and it is justifiable to talk about it.

He first looked for an opportunity, and gently advised him, how could Bogoduo hear it?

After coming down again and again, not only Li Wei was bored, but Bo Guoduo was also bored, and was thinking about how to teach Li Wei a lesson.

At this time, the local official who escorted the silver collected the extra "balance", and the transfer department handed over the errand.

Boguoduo is contented with money, how can he care about the noise of a fifth-rank doctor?

However, Li Wei heard the complaints from the officials of the Ministry of War who came to pay the money. The money was paid out more than half a month late, and it took half a month for the soldiers in the Northwest to receive the new cotton coats.

In early winter, even if you don't freeze to death, you won't be able to keep frostbite or frostbite.

After hearing this, Li Wei couldn't tell what it was like.

He became an official in order to fulfill his parents' wishes, but he also wanted to learn from Cao Yong, to be a good official in his position and to hold his chest up.

At this time, Boguoduo got the benefit and was already doing it smoothly. He also did the same for the escort officials from other provinces.

Li Wei knew that he was humble and could not stop Boguoduo's greed, so he found another way, and put a cabinet in the corridor of the yamen, with the words "a certain king wins money".

The officials from the six departments who came to the Ministry of Households to withdraw money saw this cabinet, so they had to gossip and inquire about it in private.

All of a sudden, rumors spread quickly.

After all, Boguoduo is a prince, so he needs some face.This act of blackmailing local officials can only be done privately in the yamen, and he has some scruples about being aboveboard.

Not to mention anything else, to be targeted by the censor and come to "no king", even if there is no mistake, it is still taboo.

Bo Guoduo had no choice but to endure the embarrassment, and no longer mentioned the matter of increasing the income, but he hated Li Wei to the death in his heart, thinking that he must find a reason to deal with this bastard who hurt his face.

Li Wei knew that he had offended the prince because of his size, and that he was not in a position to hold the crown, so he felt a little regretful.

However, he has always been big-hearted, thinking that if he returns to his hometown, it would be good to be filial to his parents.

In this way, he was calm.Whether it is Prince Zhuang who is cold-hearted towards him, or his colleagues in the household department who are gloating at his misfortune, he can face it as usual.

Who is he, Li Wei? He is originally a wealthy landowner in Xuzhou. He has been able to experience the world of flowers and flowers in the capital for a few years, and he can also work in six yamen for two or three years. This half of his life is not in vain.

He calmed down, but someone was entangled. This person was the fourth elder brother who originally looked down on Li Wei.

The fourth elder brother was disgusted by Li Wei's personal morals in his early years.Then, the battle between Li Wei and Prince Zhuang made the fourth elder brother look at Li Wei with admiration.

"Are you aware of the crime? The law of the Qing Dynasty, soldiers and civilians are not allowed to talk about clan relatives!" The fourth elder brother looked at Li Wei with a straight face and asked.

Hearing this, Li Wei lowered his head and said, "My minister is guilty, please punish me."

Having said that, he was faintly disappointed.It turned out that the fourth elder brother, a cold-faced prince, is a king who truly cares about the country and the people, and will not understand his own actions like Prince Zhuang.

Unexpectedly, before Prince Zhuang's revenge, the fourth elder brother would come forward to "question the crime", how could it not be disheartening?
The fourth elder brother saw Li Wei drooping his head without a word of excuse. He glanced at him lightly and said: "Since you know you have committed a crime, why don't you go to Prince Zhuang's mansion to make up for it? Could it be that you still have to wait for the old prince to ask for the 'law'?" Do you want to deal with it?" After finishing speaking, he got up and went out.

Li Wei stood where he was, thinking about Si elder brother's words, and raised his eyebrows.

Compensation is not, then compensation is not, he does not have the ethics of "rather bending than bending".On the surface, it seems that he is subdued; in fact, in this way, Boguoduo will not be angry with Li Wei in a short period of time, and he will always put on a broad-minded look...

*
When the fourth elder brother met Li Wei, no one else was left in the room, so only the two of them knew about the conversation.

Therefore, when the thirteenth elder brother narrated, there was only the passage of Li Wei's Prince Douzhuang; the rest was what Li Wei told Cao Yong when he came to Cao's mansion.

After Cao Yong heard this, he was only happy for Li Wei.

The fourth elder brother is introverted and low-key, not a troublesome person, this time he can take the initiative to mention Li Wei, which shows that he really appreciates Li Wei.

The future Mingjun and famous ministers will meet like this.When they become successful and famous, thinking of this awkward relationship with the characteristics of the four princes, I don't know what they will think...

Sun's house, outside the gate.

A few carriages came from the entrance of the alley, surrounded by a dozen people on horseback, and stood at the gate of Sun's house.

The concierge was an old man from the Sun family, and he immediately recognized the person coming in front as an uncle from Hangzhou.

Sun Wenqian saw that the concierge was only staring at him, and frowned: "Your old lady is here, why don't you open the door and let the carriage in?"

The porter trembled, called a servant, and opened the door together.

Sun Jue's house was small, and the carriage could not go directly to the second gate, so An got off the carriage in the front yard.

At this moment, Sun Jue had already got the news and rushed over from the backyard.

Today is not a day for him to take a rest. Because of the impeachment papers, he was suspended from his errands, and he will have no results until the matter is investigated in detail.

He has no idea whether he will be demoted or dismissed.

Therefore, during the past few days at home, he was upset and began to drink heavily, and he also drank half a catty of wine today.

Now that I am drunk, I can't stand upright when I greet my mother and uncle...
