Daming reckless man

Chapter 255 Dilemma
Chapter 255

Jiajing was very angry when he heard what Zhang Hao said. All the previous horse markets lost money, but Zhang Hao went to Xuanhua and made money.

"I'm still surprised. You don't need to spend any capital, and you can still lose money. I really don't know how those officials did it? However, it's normal. Liu Wu can even smuggle. You said that other officials have learned a lot. Like?" Zhang Hao said with a smile,
Jiajing knew that Zhang Hao was laughing at himself, so he glared at Zhang Hao.

"Why are you staring, I'm telling the truth!" Zhang Hao immediately snapped back.

"Okay, as long as you don't lose money, how much money can you collect in a year?" Jiajing sat down, looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"It's not much, it's about 200 million taels, but it can solve a lot of things!" Zhang Hao said indifferently, this little money is small money.

"Good!" Jiajing said happily.

There is one more item, and this item is quite a lot, which can solve the major affairs of the court.

"However, Your Majesty, the issue of grain and grass on the border is a big matter and cannot be left to the control of merchants. In fact, you can build warehouses yourself and send grain to Xuanhua.

We would rather give money to the merchants than allow them to control them. Now they are sending food every month. Once there is a war, what should we do?There is not enough food, how can we fight? "Zhang Hao sat there and said.

"This is the previous open-center system, which is to let salt merchants farm and plant land on the border, and then hand over the grain to the army in exchange for their salt!" Jiajing explained to Zhang Hao.

"I know, think about it, it doesn't count if they make a lot of money for food, but they also make a lot of money for salt. By the way, Your Majesty, I asked Jin Yiwei to raid Wu's house!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"What did you say? You stole the Wu family?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said.

"That's right, his family is suspected of smuggling pig iron, so according to the law, it is a copy of the house!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Hey, you bastard, aren't you making trouble for me? Behind the Wu family is King Jin, you know that?" Jiajing rubbed his head, worried.

This bastard didn't even say anything to himself before he started ransacking the house.

"I know, let me try!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Huh?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, those vassal princes' families are so rich, they still do such things, they are the clan of Daming, if Daming dies, they still want to live such a prosperous and rich life?

I don't even know what they are thinking, I just want to try, I killed the Wu family, what is the reaction of King Jin, do they put the country first, or the interests first! Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said.

Jiajing nodded, knowing what Zhang Hao meant, but still had a headache.

"You son of a bitch, you are not allowed to provoke those vassal kings during this time, you know? I know about the affairs of the vassal kings, but not now, now I have enough things waiting to be dealt with, don't make trouble for me Can you do it?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao helplessly and said.

"Your Majesty, look at what you said. Why did I add to the chaos? The Wu family has several million assets. The ransacking of the house is also a warning to those businessmen, and it is also a warning to those vassals. They can only be loyal to me, Da Ming. , If you have two minds, no matter who it is, you will be killed!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know everything!" Jiajing waved his hand, then sat there in thought for a while, and said: "You have to listen to me about this matter, have you heard it, don't provoke the prince, If the Wu family copied it, it will be copied, and it is not allowed to expand, until it reaches the Wu family, okay?"

"Okay, as long as they don't come to trouble me, I won't deal with them!" Zhang Hao nodded to Jiajing and said.

"I will make it clear to them!" Jiajing said helplessly as he sat there.

"Your Majesty, does King Jin dare to come to you?" Zhang Hao asked tentatively.

"He dares to come? Hmph, but he will send people to find your father and you, and the ministers will also write letters, you know?" Jiajing sneered.

King Jin dared not come, without his own imperial decree, they could not return to Beijing.

"That's not scary!" Zhang Hao immediately became indifferent.

As long as King Jin doesn't come, Jiajing won't be under much pressure, nor will he be under too much pressure.

"You son of a bitch, you went to Xuanhua, and you caused such a big thing to me in just a few days. What is the money I fined you for? Don't provoke me, otherwise, I will punish you severely I'm just looking for trouble for me!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao helplessly and said.

"Your Majesty, look at what you said. Why do you want me to find trouble for you? It is obvious that Daming is full of holes and corruption is rampant. What can I do? If you don't care about it, forget it. I will go home and be my rich man." !" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing with disdain again and said.

"Shut up, eat when the dinner comes, and go home after dinner, I don't want to see you today!" Jiajing said, glaring at Zhang Hao.

"Okay!" Zhang Hao agreed very happily.

Soon, Lu Fang brought a lot of food with the eunuch.

Zhang Hao sat there and was ready to eat.

But at this moment, Sun Yingkui, the left servant of the household department, is very happy.

I just received a letter from Sun Qihai. Now at the horse market, I can receive a lot of money every day. Up to now, in ten days, I have received more than 6 taels. In addition, the smuggled salt of the Wu family was confiscated, and there are still 8. two.

In ten days, I got 14 taels from the horse market, which is a lot of money. If I can earn a few thousand taels every day in the future, it will be very good.

After Sun Yingkui saw Sun Qihai's letter, he was very happy, and immediately took the letter to the cabinet, and found the three of them packing up their things and preparing to go home.

"My lord, good news, good news, now over 6 taels of taxes have been collected in Xuanhua Horse City, and there will be more and more in the future, our household department has a big income! "Sun Yingkui said to them very excitedly.

"Ah?" When the three of them heard this, they were all dumbfounded, and then looked at each other, feeling bad!

But Sun Yingkui didn't notice the change in their faces, but took the letter to Lu Ben's side and unfolded it for Lu Ben to read.

"Look, my lord, if this is the case, we can basically guarantee more than 15 taels per month. After a year, it is quite a lot, and it is still growing, and more businessmen go there. By then, we may be able to Reaching 1 taels a day, my lord, with this extra income in our household department, we can accomplish a lot of things!" Sun Yingkui said excitedly to Lu Ben.

At this moment, Lu Ben was a little irritable. He agreed to Jiajing the day before yesterday, and the profit and loss of the horse market will be borne by internal funds.

Now that the horse market can make money, if it is handed over to the internal funds, the household department will lose a lot, and the officials of the household department probably have a lot of opinions. The key is that the three of them said that they don’t want it. Blame the emperor.

"My lord, what's the matter with you, this is good news!" Sun Yingkui realized that Lu Ben was not as happy as he imagined, and instead his face was a little grim.

"Well, Sun Shilang, did you mean to let the household department take the money?" Yan Song looked at Sun Yingkui and asked.

"Mr. Yan Ge, what do you say? Of course it is our household department, which was also responsible for the other horse markets before!" Sun Yingkui looked at Yan Song incomprehensibly and said.

"Sun Shilang, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle this matter!" Xu Jie looked at Sun Yingkui and said.

"Why is it so difficult? The ones who collect taxes now are also officials from our household department, not from our household department. Could it still be internal money? This is against the rules!" Sun Yingkui still looked at the three of them incomprehensibly. one said.

"That's right. A few days ago, we thought that the horse market would lose money. Tell yourself, do you think so?" Lu Ben looked at Sun Yingkui and said.

"That's right, I always thought it was a loss of money, and we couldn't make it!" Sun Yingkui nodded and said.

"That's right, we also think so. The emperor asked us whether the money in the horse market is in charge of the household department or the internal funds. When we thought about it, we were losing money anyway, so we told the emperor that the internal funds are responsible. Responsible, but I didn't expect it."

"Ah, no, how can you agree? This is a big income of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now we rely on the emperor to give us 180 million taels every quarter, plus some commercial taxes. The money is not enough every year. If you add this With a total of 200 million taels, the life of our household department can be easier.

Moreover, we have cash every month, and we can do a lot of things. We haven’t filled up the shortfall last year. My lord, how can you agree? "Sun Yingkui spoke anxiously to the three of them before Lu Ben finished speaking.

"Didn't you not think of it at the beginning? What should I do about this matter?" Lu Ben rubbed his head and said, now it's too late to regret.

"I don't care, this money belongs to our Ministry of Accounting, the three elders, you have to solve this matter, if it is not resolved, not only the officials of the Ministry of Accounting will not agree, but all the officials of the six departments will not agree. A lot of money!" Sun Yingkui was anxious, this matter must be resolved, and the money must be given to the household department.

"Ouch!" Lu Ben was worried, and Xu Jie and Yan Song were also worried.

The three of you looked at me and I looked at you, but there was nothing I could do.

"Three old elders, I have to go and make it clear today. You are going to see the emperor and get this back. You have so much money in your family, and you can still keep an eye on our little money.

Other horse markets are losing money, and our household department is responsible for it. Finally, there is a horse market and you can get money back. You actually gave it away. Can our household department agree?

If you don't take it back, all the officials from our Ministry of Finance will come to the cabinet to ask for an explanation, so much money! "Sun Yingkui said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, isn't this what we didn't know before? Let's find a way, let's find a way!" Xu Jie immediately comforted Sun Yingkui and said, then looked at Lu Ben and the others, who were also very excited. have no choice.
