I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 24 The Big Hole

What does he come to do?
Fang Xiu was startled, and said lightly, "Let him in."

"Yes, Master!"

After the shadow guard saluted, he turned and left.

After a while.

Qin Xingyan came to the courtyard where Fang Xiu was, saluted and said:
"Fang Xiang, I have something important to report to the lower officials."

Fang Xiu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Speak."

"This"

Qin Xingyan didn't speak, but looked at Hai Rui who was at the side.

The meaning is clear.

It's hard for outsiders to talk about this matter.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and said, "This is Hai Rui, one of our own. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

After Fang Xiu said that, Qin Xingyan couldn't say anything more.

A smile appeared on his old face, he looked at Hai Rui, and said, "Mr. Hai, Qin Xingyan is the Minister of the Lower Household Department."

Hai Rui cupped his hands and said, "Hai Rui, a commoner, has met Mr. Qin."

The two of them greeted each other.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Fang Xiu glanced at the two of them and said, "Hai Rui, you sit too."

"Thank you Fangxiang!"

The two bowed in unison and sat down.

Qin Xingyan sorted out his words, and said, "Master Fang, the purpose of this visit is to relieve the drought."

Hear the word drought.

Fang Xiu frowned, looked at Qin Xingyan, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What happened to the relief food again?"

"No, Fang Xiang misunderstood."

Qin Xingyan quickly waved his hands and explained: "I want to ask who should be responsible for the disaster relief."

Fang Xiu raised his brows and said, "Didn't I tell you the truth, just choose a clean person from the household department."

"Fang Xiang said that, it's just..."

When Qin Xingyan said this, his old face showed embarrassment, and he couldn't continue.

Fang Xiu was startled when he saw his expression.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and he said in amazement: "Could it be that the entire household department can't find a clean person?"

Nuoda's household department can't even find a clean official.

Then how bad the imperial court must be!
Qin Xingyan said with some embarrassment: "Of course you can find them if you want to look for them, but they are all too young and inexperienced. The officials are afraid that they will not know what to do when they arrive in Qingzhou."

Relief for disaster victims is not as simple as most people imagine.

Arrived in Qingzhou.

How to distribute food so as not to cause confusion.

Whoever distributes the food can make the best use of it.

Local officials shirk responsibility, how to deal with it.

There is knowledge in each of these things!

If a stunned young man is sent over, no matter how honest he is, he may mess things up.

But if you send experienced officials, they have been used to laxity over the years, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not change their minds.

This time.

Qin Xingyan put his head on it.

If the people sent there, because of corruption and bribery, filled their own pockets, they would screw up the matter.

He didn't explain to Fang Xiu!

Not experienced.

Even more inexperienced.

You can't let the head of the household department go out in person, can you?
Qin Xingyan struggled with the mansion for a whole day, but couldn't find a suitable candidate for disaster relief, so he thought of coming to the Fang mansion for help.

Fang Xiu was speechless when he heard this.

He looked at Qin Xingyan, and said angrily: "Qin Shangshu is really a good means. He has been in charge of the household department for seven years, and he can't even pick out a disaster relief person."

Qin Xingyan said in embarrassment: "This official is guilty! This official!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense to Truth, Truth doesn't want to hear it."

Fang Xiu waved his hands, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Who is it appropriate to send to Qingzhou for disaster relief?

Although the former prime minister had been prime minister for ten years, he spent most of his time eating, drinking and having fun.

It would be good if you can remember the names of the court princes in your mind.

Among the hundred officials, who is capable and honest, I have no impression at all.

thought for a moment.

He suddenly thought of something, a gleam burst out of his eyes, and he suddenly looked at Hai Rui who was sitting beside him.

"Hai Rui, how about letting you go to rescue the disaster?"

The voice fell.

Both Qin Xingyan and Hai Rui were taken aback.

It was Hai Rui who reacted faster, stood up and said, "Caomin is a commoner with no fame, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said: "The status is a trivial matter, just report the truth to His Majesty, the big deal is to go to Qingzhou to supervise the handling as a special envoy."

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

"Don't say anything else, you just need to tell the truth, send you to Qingzhou, can you finish the disaster relief?"

Hai Rui thought for a while and said firmly, "Yes!"

"That's fine."

Fang Xiu looked at Qin Xingyan and said, "Let Hai Rui handle this matter, do you have any objections?"

Although Qin Xingyan didn't know Hai Rui, but seeing Fang Xiu trust him so much, he couldn't say anything more, so he cupped his hands and said, "I have no objection."

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, then this matter is settled."

After speaking, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Meaning: Finish talking, go away.

Seeing this, Qin Xingyan did not leave, but hesitantly said: "Mr. Fang, I have one more thing to report to you."

As he spoke, he looked at Hai Rui.

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and said calmly, "I told you, Hai Rui is one of our own. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

"The officer understands."

Qin Xingyan took a deep breath, sorted out his words, and said sternly: "Mr. Fang, I ordered someone to check the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounts yesterday, and found discrepancies with the actual deposits in the treasury."

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, looked at Qin Xingyan and said, "Let's be honest, how much is the difference?"

Qin Xingyan hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "The treasury should have 400 million taels of silver, but after verification, the actual deposit is 3107 million taels of silver."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he almost spit out the tea!

I couldn't help scolding my mother in my heart.

"There is a difference of more than 1000 million between the actual and the account!"

"No wonder this bastard reacted so strongly when Zhao Zizheng called for disaster relief! It turned out that he knew it well, and the treasury couldn't get any money for disaster relief!"

Fang Xiu really wanted to question Qin Xingyan, where did so much money go!
But see his expression and eyes.

Don't ask to know.

He must have been taken away and squandered by his adultery.

In ten years, more than 1000 million taels.

Calculated, it costs 100 million taels of silver a year.

At this moment.

Even Fang Xiu couldn't help admiring himself.

Prodigal defeated to such an extent!

Cattle!
Fang Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and asked, "Why do you suddenly remember to check the account books?"

Qin Xingyan said truthfully: "It is His Majesty who is worried that Wu Guoguo will cause trouble at the border due to the grain merchant, so he asked the lower officials to check the silver deposits in the treasury in case of emergencies."

Without waiting for Fang Xiu to ask, he took the initiative to add: "This matter has not been reported to His Majesty."

Fang Xiu listened, with a pensive look on his face.

After a while, he looked at Qin Xingyan and asked, "If Your Majesty asks about this matter, do you know how to answer it?"

Qin Xingyan understood it, and said: "There are too many account books in the household department, so we can't check them all at once."

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, now that we know the truth about this matter, you can go down."

Qin Xingyan was a little surprised when he heard this.

Xindao: This is more than 1000 million taels of silver!Why is Fang Xiang so calm? Does he still have a backup?

For some reason, he suddenly thought of what happened in the court these two days.

I became more determined in my heart.

Fang Xiang must have had a countermeasure long ago, but he didn't tell others.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted, "I will take my leave."

Then he turned and left Xiangguo Mansion.

After he left.

Fang Xiu asked Hai Rui to go down to rest too, leaving him to sit in the yard alone.

thinking.

How to fill this big hole.

In just a moment, he thought about what to do next, and he didn't take this matter to heart again.

Instead, the system is turned on.

"It's almost dark, too."

"It's time to use the Beauty Summoning Card!"
