The Prosperous Era of Longwan

"Tell me about your family's arrangement for your marriage. When was the marriage arranged?"

Lu Bing had nothing to ask. He asked the person concerned first. The people below would also send news from Nanjing. Two photos could be used to confirm the authenticity.

Although Wei Guangde was surprised, he still told what he knew. The marriage should have been decided after the examination and before the palace examination.

Hearing this, Lu Bing just rubbed his chin and nodded slightly.

"Uncle Lu, if you didn't 'invite' me here, you wouldn't be just caring about my marriage."

Wei Guangdehu asked doubtfully.

"Of course not, it's just that I heard about this matter. After all, it involves the current Duke of the country."

Lu Bing replied casually that Wei Guangde's marriage had been spread in Jiujiang Mansion. After all, there were three media outlets and six appointments, so there was no way to hide it, and there was no need to hide it.

Wei Guangde didn't think too much. He thought it might be the information reported by the Jiujiang Prefecture's Jin Yiwei spies, so Lu Bing just asked casually.

"Uncle Lu, arrest me now and come to Beizhen Fusi."

Wei Guangde mentioned that he was captured by his people, but his posture was not like inviting someone.

"Haha, the people below misunderstood what I meant. I think it's my fault."

Lu Bing was quite upright, and when he thought that he only told his personal entourage to secretly invite people, it seemed that he had also ordered people to do things in the past. He thought that his subordinates would realize that they were wrong, and naturally they would not put the blame on his own subordinates. He generously agreed. Got this pot.

In fact, he said it was his own problem, so what could Wei Guangde do? He couldn't just swallow his anger. This was the case for superiors and inferiors.

"Let's get down to business, how much money did you pay for your house?"

Suddenly, Lu Bing asked.

Wei Guangde blinked and came back to his senses instantly. Could it be that Emperor Jiajing knew that he spent a lot of money to buy the house, and that the money for the house came from corruption?

But soon, Wei Guangde felt relieved.

How long have you been an official?

Did you handle any money during this period?

No, of course there was a good reason to explain that he had not embezzled a single penny from the imperial court, so he replied calmly: "Fifteen hundred taels of silver, real gold and silver, passed through the teeth of hands."

"Cash delivery?"

Lu Bing continued to ask.

"Yes, when I came from Jiujiang, I put the money on the carriage. After all, no one in Beijing would recognize the Jiangxi vote."

Wei Guangde nodded hurriedly and explained that the silver was brought from his hometown.

"Delivered at the house?"

"Yes, after paying the money, the landlord took out the house deed and asked Yachang to help transfer the title to Daxing County Government Office. Is there any problem?"

Wei Guangde was very satisfied with living in that house. Although it was not big, it was well-equipped and it was not expensive for the inner city of Beijing.

But now, being asked continuously by Lu Bing, the leader of Jinyiwei, about buying the house, Wei Guangde had to guess that there was something fishy in the house.

Lu Bing nodded when he heard this, then closed his eyes slightly and thought for a while. Wei Guangde was a little anxious on the side.

What would you do if you spent 1,500 taels of silver to buy back a house with a lawsuit?

The person who sold the house at the time said that the owner was an official who returned to his hometown after serving his official career, so he sold the house in the capital.

In other words, people took the money and left long ago.

Even if the house was rented by that person, the real owner of the house should have come to find him. Why did he come to Jinyiwei?

Unless the house belongs to Lu Bing?

Wei Guangde made another bold guess, but now he felt his heart hurt even more.

With his thin arms and legs, can he twist Lu Bing?

The answer is definitely no, he can't do it, and then the fifteen hundred taels of silver are wasted.

No, go back to the dental shop and call the general manager of Nanxunfang. They need to talk about this matter. They are the guarantors. If there is a problem with their transaction, they must be responsible. No one can escape. , at least most of the losses must be recovered.

Wei Guangde thought fiercely in his heart.

There are many traps in buying a house in later generations, but I didn’t expect that the simple ancient people were like this too.

"Uncle Lu, what's the lawsuit about the house my nephew bought?"

When Wei Guangde saw Lu Bing open his eyes, he immediately asked in a low voice.

"It's a little troublesome, but not serious. Your house has been registered with the Daxing County Government Office, so it won't be a big problem."

Hearing Lu Bing's words, Wei Guangde instantly became energetic.

The meaning of Lu Bing's words was very clear. There was nothing wrong with the house he bought, but there might be something fishy on the seller's side, and the house purchase contract between them was still valid.

As long as you don't get cheated and lose all your money, that's fine.

Wei Guangde thought in his heart, and the previous nervous mood calmed down again.

"Then what's going on with my nephew's house? Do you still have to work for your boss?"

Wei Guangde was out of curiosity now, so he asked carefully.

When he asked, he was mentally prepared to be rejected, but fortunately, Lu Bing did not shake his head and refused to tell him.

"Your house was indeed an official's house in the past, but because of a crime, he has now gone to Yulin, his property has been confiscated, and the deeds have been handed over to the treasury.

During the transaction some time ago, there was only three hundred taels of silver in the Zangfang Treasury account for buying a house. You should know the rest."

Lu Bing looked at Wei Guangde with a half-smile, nodding his head slightly.

"I won't have to pay for the remaining money. I should report it to the Emperor to catch Shuo Shu, even the Emperor's money dares to be corrupted."

Wei Guangde naturally understood that the house he shared was bought low and sold high by the palace people, playing a trick with nothing but a white wolf. No wonder he didn't care whether he made a move or not.

If it can't be sold, it will continue to hang in the dirty punishment library.

In fact, Wei Guangde also thought it was strange at the beginning. Could it be that an official who returned home after serving his official career didn't know how to work around the situation, make the deal earlier at a lower price, and go home earlier? He would not let go of the price.

Now that I think about it, there is really a problem.

"What do you think will be the result of such a report? Why don't you ask the subordinates to take the blame? If you don't take the blame, you will be killed directly. If you report the crime and commit suicide, it will be over."

Lu Bing curled his lips and said.

I was still thinking that Wei Guangde was still a little immature, and he became a little impatient when his own interests were involved, and he was worried that he would be extorted from another sum of money.

Since Lu Bing is personally responsible for this matter, he naturally won't let it go so easily. He has to catch a big fish no matter what to make it worthy of Governor Lu's action.

Emperor Jiajing advocated Taoism, so he naturally spent a lot of money on his cultivation, and the inner court's money was also stretched thin.

At this time, if he could catch two giant rats for the emperor and collect a lot of money, he would naturally be very happy.

The Zangfang Treasury belongs to the Household Department in name, but it is one of the inner treasury. In addition to supplying the inner court, part of the income will also be used by various ministries and yamen.

When the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, there was a lot of construction, especially the reconstruction of the imperial palace. In order to meet the royal needs, various institutions, warehouses, workshops, etc. were built between the imperial city and the outside of the Forbidden City, hence the name of Xishiku Street.

At that time, there were ten royal warehouses built. The names of these ten warehouses were: A-ziku, B-ziku, C-ziku, D-ziku, W-ziku, Chengyun warehouse, Guangying warehouse, Guanghui warehouse, Guangji warehouse and stolen goods and punishment warehouse.

These warehouses store a variety of supplies, which are collected from all over the country.

The "Jia Zi Library" stores medicinal materials, including ebony plum, indigo flower, yellow pill, green vitriol, lithospermum, gallnut, etc. These medicinal materials were collected from Zhejiang and other provinces for the exclusive use of the royal family;

"Yi Zi Library" mainly stores various papers (including memorial paper, Luan Bang paper, Zhongzhi paper, etc.) and fat jackets sent from various provinces;

The "Bing Zi Library" mainly stores natural silk cotton, Heluo silk strings, five-color wild silk collected from Zhejiang and other provinces every year, and cotton velvet collected from Shandong, Henan, Shuntian and other prefectures. At that time, "Winter clothes for internal officials, The soldiers’ cloth flowers are given here with salt”;

"Dingziku" stores raw lacquer, tung oil, white linen, yellow wax, cowhide, deerskin, isinglass, raw and cooked iron and other items, "in preparation for the royal prison, internal official prison, etc. to make accurate payments;

"Wuziku" mainly stores armor, bows, arrows, knives and other weapons recovered from Henan and other provinces;

The "Carrying Warehouse" mainly stores yellow and white raw silk produced in Zhejiang, Sichuan, Huguang and other provinces, "in preparation for memorials to the foreigners, as well as winter clothes for officials, clean clothes for music and dance students, etc.";

"Guangying warehouse" mainly stores various colors of Pingluo cooked silk, Hangzhou yarn, and green fine cotton cloth;

"Guanghui Treasury" mainly stores colorful woven handkerchiefs, combed and pressed brushes, money through yarn and so on;

"Guangjiku" mainly stores gunpowder. "Every spring and Autumn drill in the Jingying Camp is carried out here";

The "Spirit and Punishment Treasury" mainly stores the stolen money and property collected from crimes and the property confiscated by criminals, including fines, nanometers, etc. Local properties and houses are cashed in through tooth banks and put into the warehouse. The stolen money and property in the capital are stored in the The dirty punishment library can be converted into silver.

This dirty penalty warehouse is also the richest warehouse among the ten inner warehouses. After all, transactions are very frequent, and a large amount of money can be transferred into the account with just a little effort. It is no wonder that Lu Bing is eyeing it.

Lu Bing's words made Wei Guangde also realize that he was preparing to catch a big fish.

Also, how much meat can there be in the small fish and shrimp below? You must catch the big fish in the back to make money.

In his previous life, Wei Guangde had never seen a house raid, but there were many in the film and television works, especially the one where Wei Xiaobao went to raid Ao Bai's house. He ransacked the house again and again, and finally reported a small change, and the bulk of it was given to the person who ransacked the house.

Every time he saw this, Wei Guangde couldn't help but salivate. It was so enjoyable. What a great idea to get rich quickly.

Thinking about who Lu Bing was, the celebrity around Emperor Jiajing, Fa Xiao, and his savior, I thought that after I ransacked other people's homes, my own would be enriched.

Wei Guangde consciously thought that Lu Bing was the Wei Xiaobao who followed him to Aobai Mansion to ransack his house, and he didn't know who among the other losers would play the role of Suo'etu.

The most annoying thing is that Wei Guangde is not responsible for it.

Nima, it would be a good idea to make a Hui Suo E Tu.

"What is my nephew going to do?"

Wei Guangde still remembered that he was in Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town. Being brought here by Lu Bing, he would definitely not let him go easily, and he would definitely have to do something on his own.

"If this matter is publicized, even though you know who Big Fish is, you still have to be fully prepared before taking action."

Lu Bing noticed the sudden change in Wei Guangde's expression, which was the blushing and thick neck that appeared when a man climaxed. Although he didn't understand what was wrong with Wei Guangde, he still said to him.

"Just write down the details of buying the house and make a pledge. The main thing is the price and how much money you gave the other party."

Lu Bing ordered that this document would be direct evidence of corruption involved in this transaction. Unfortunately, it was delivered in cash. If a meeting ticket was used, the shop where the meeting ticket was issued would also be sealed, and there would be a lot of money. Can be fished.

Of course he, the Governor of the Mainland, doesn't care much about this small amount of money, but the people under his command do.

In their eyes, the money was an incredible amount of wealth.

The team may be easy to lead or difficult to lead, depending on how much money you can give them.

It is true that money can make the world go round.

Just thinking that relying on a commander of the Royal Guards to make his subordinates willingly sacrifice their lives for you is simplistic.

Maybe some people who want to join the camp will be willing to work with you. Most of the Jinyi guards have families and families, and they mostly want to get more money from the guards to support their families.

Lu Bing was able to successfully take over Jinyiwei. In addition to the favor of the emperor in the palace, another important reason was that he could get money for his subordinates.

Before he was the governor of Lu, the main people who collected money on the streets of the capital were Dongchang. The big ones were taken away, and the rest were taken by their Jin Yiwei. Finally, some small money that they didn't like was taken away by the Yamen and Soldiers of Shuntian Prefecture. .

But things are different now. After he, Lu Bing, took charge of the Jinyi Guards, the bulk of the army changed from Dongchang to Jinyi's pro-army. Most of Dongchang's original interests were given out. It was almost a swap.

As for Wei Guangde, after thinking about it, he didn't think there was anything bad to say. He bought the house upright and spent money. How could he do anything wrong? He didn't steal or rob.

In the room, Wei Guangde ground the ink on the desk, spread out the paper and wrote out the process of buying the house in detail, and then signed and stamped it.

Soon, Wei Guangde handed what he had written to Lu Bing for review.

Lu Bing nodded after reading, "Okay, that's it for today."

Put the document back on the desk and let it dry naturally. You can't fold the things you write these days as soon as you finish writing. It will make the words smeared. You have to wait for the ink to dry.

"Uncle Lu, who is that big fish?"

Wei Guangde still couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked directly.

Lu Bing just glanced at him, but also wanted to test whether Wei Guangde was reliable and whether he could do big things.

Although he did not dare to recruit Wei Guangde to his subordinates, that is, to ask him to help ease the situation when he encountered trouble, at least he had to be reliable.

Tell him to see if his little mouth can be closed tightly.

Thinking of this, Lu Bing said lightly: "Do you really want to know?"

Wei Guangde didn't speak, but nodded quickly.

Lu Bing, you can see now whether he regards me as his nephew.

Wei Guangde was also shouting in his heart. In his opinion, Lu Bing was probably teasing him in the end and would never talk to him, but he didn't expect Lu Bing to really speak.

"He is the Supervisor of Ceremonies."

"ah?"

In an instant, Wei Guangde's mind was racing. The admiral of the inner court and the chief of etiquette were Huang Jin. Like Lu Bing, he came to Beijing from Anlu with Emperor Jiajing. It is said that the relationship between the two was not bad and could be ruled out.

Even if it was really Huang Jin, Lu Bing would never handle this case, and naturally he would not ask him to write a record.

Next, Wei Guangde naturally thought of Gao Zhong, and his face suddenly became uncertain.
