The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 324
"I don't know why the eldest princess came here?" Jiang Wenxuan, Minister of the Household Department, came out from behind a few people. He took off his court clothes and official hats for the convenience of work. Seeing Shen Qiqi suddenly coming, he hurried Put it on and come over, the official hat is on one side, the court clothes are also tied with the wrong belt, and the whole person's attire is ridiculous.

"Master Ke, I came here to check the accounts. You all seem to be busy, how are you?" Shen Qiqi did not politely talk perfunctorily, she wanted to find out the reason as soon as possible.

"Princess Qi, we haven't found any mistakes or omissions. The money has its source, and the amount of money is correct when it is exchanged to the Ministry of Rites. As for the delivery of the goods to Xuanyang Kingdom, it should not be our Ministry of Accounts. matter." Jiang Wenxuan hurriedly put aside the relationship between the Ministry of Household Affairs, this matter is of great importance, the six departments except the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War have started to move, Jiang Wenxuan must prove that the Ministry of Household Affairs has nothing to do with this matter if he wants to keep the black hat, and Shen Qiqi is the one who hangs the curtain The eldest princess who is in charge of politics is easy to be misunderstood when she comes to the household department.

"Show me the accounts." Shen Qiqi also knew that the Ministry of Accounting was not an easy place to make mistakes. After all, money was involved and the responsibility was heavy. She didn't expect to find out the results from the Ministry of Accounting, she just wanted to get some clues.Jiang Wenxuan quickly brought out several ledgers from the back, each at least three inches thick, Jiang Wenxuan opened one of them courteously, and presented it to Shen Qiqi, Shen Qiqi took it over for a closer look, the ledgers are not ugly, just be a little more careful It can be seen that the treasury is used everywhere, and the other five ministries are allocated to the destination. Among them, the Ministry of Industry uses the most silver, and the Ministry of Industry uses the most silver for repairs.

"What's going on? A moat costs 20 taels of silver? Or should it be repaired twice?" Shen Qiqi moved her fingers on the ledger, and she saw that there was a project using silver under the same name, which turned out to be a moat.

"Princess, I personally went to see all the things that cost more than a thousand taels of silver. I also made a record and ordered someone to draw a blueprint. If the princess wants to see it, I can order someone to show it to the princess. It has been in disrepair for a long time, and it used to be dry to grow vegetables for the people living next to it. The regent heard Chen Shangshu mention it two years ago, and he gave the order after he personally inspected it. The silver was repaired in the past, and the regent and the emperor also agreed, and we still have the repair order, at that time... the eldest princess was not in power yet, so you don't know."

Jiang Wenxuan turned around and ordered someone to bring a handbook, Shen Qiqi raised her hand to stop it, indicating that she didn't need it, Shen Qiqi checked the accounts again, it was mainly for repairs, her brows were getting tighter and tighter, the tax revenue received by the household department for one year It is less than a year, but the expenditure is more and more year by year, and the expenditure of the royal family is also more and more year by year.

"Why is there so much expenditure in the palace every year?" Shen Qiqi saw that the expenditure on food was too much, and every year it was 3 taels more than the previous year. Shen Qiqi didn't see any expensive people eating every day. How could the expense of ingredients be so huge?
"I don't know about this either. I'm just responsible for paying the money, and please ask the Eldest Princess to check it out." Seeing Shen Qiqi's displeasure, Jiang Wenxuan quickly explained that Shen Qiqi ordered Jiang Wenxuan to copy down the accounts that he had doubts about. She wants to go back and check it out in detail.

No matter what kind of expenditure, the final signatory is Mo Yan.

Shen Qiqi went to the Rites Department after an hour's delay in the household department. Tan Shaofei was also checking the quantity and origin of various goods, and also checking whether the person who delivered the goods made a mistake. He hasn't returned home for a long time. They were all in the court room, with a circle of beards growing on their chin and lips. When he saw Shen Qiqi coming, he was not as frightened as Jiang Wenxuan. He had a clear conscience and spoke very loudly to Shen Qiqi.

"Princess Qi, the Ministry of Rites has thoroughly investigated half of it, and no mistakes have been found for the time being, and the remaining half, I will find out as soon as possible. I have been the Minister of the Ministry of Rites for ten years, and the Ministry of Households has always pulled out the money. , we will act according to the money, there is absolutely no intention of corruption, please be careful with the eldest princess." Tan Shaofei spoke neither humble nor overbearing, especially since he always felt that he was not wrong, and he would not let Shen Qiqi take advantage of it, and looked directly at Shen Qi Seven, through his eyes, Shen Qiqi thought of Tan Yuqiu, that ordinary-looking woman who had ambitions and desires, she and Tan Shaofei didn't have much in common.

"Just give me the list of goods." Shen Qiqi pondered for a while, and made her own request. Tan Shaofei was a little surprised. She thought that Shen Qiqi would keep asking questions when she came here, but Shen Qiqi's expression was very calm. She I have come to a conclusion in my heart. In the final analysis, there is no money and there are too many repair projects.Most of the accounts that she saw at the Ministry of Accounts just now were repair projects, and she felt that she had little hope of finding problems in the Ministry of Rites. Tan Shaofei's reputation is not bad, but his family background is not good, and his clothes are ordinary The material, and it's all yellowed.

"Eldest princess, here is the list of goods and the list of persons in charge." Tan Shaofei handled everything comprehensively, not only gave the list of goods, but also the list of officials in charge to Shen Qiqi. Shen Qiqi was in a heavy heart. I realized that neither the Ministry of Households nor the Ministry of Rites can find out what's wrong. The key is that there are fewer taxes and no money can be paid.

Tan Shaofei saw that Shen Qiqi left without saying a word after getting the list, he was ready for Shen Qiqi to question his teacher, but he didn't want Shen Qiqi to leave without saying a few words, it was really strange.

When Shen Qiqi returned to Yuning Palace, the things she brought back from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites were spread out on the table. As a high-achieving student, she quickly saw through the accounts and lists, most of them were used in the name of repairs, most of them were She wanted to find out that the key was Chen Shangshu. She was about to summon Chen Shangshu when Yueling came in with dinner. Her care for Shen Qiqi sometimes reminded Shen Qiqi of hardworking The old hen is taking care of her naughty chick.

Shen Qiqi's concern for Yue Ling was also very helpful, after all, it is better to have someone who cares than no one cares, Yue Ling still came from the heart, and if she didn't want to eat anymore, she still picked a few pieces to eat, no matter what Yue Ling said, she couldn't eat anymore, Yue Ling was very worried: "Princess, if you don't eat anymore, I'm afraid you will become as thin as a bamboo pole."

"In this way, it's really an excellent way to lose weight. As long as you have something to think about and worry about, you can't get fat. Yue Ling, I can't eat it, and even if I eat it, I can't digest it. Why don't you wait for me later?" Eat when you're hungry." Shen Qiqi held Yue Ling's hand, half coquettishly half pleading, Yue Ling saw that Shen Qiqi didn't seem to be joking, so she could only take the snacks away.

Shen Qiqi stared at the pile of accounts in a daze, her eyes stared straight at the accounts, as if she wanted to use them to figure out the truth.
