Biography of Ilha in Qing Chuan

Chapter 249

Kangxi held those thin sheets, his hands trembling slightly.Although he knew before that the treasury was empty, but when these data were put in front of him, the impact on him was not as simple as what Yinzhen said before.Looking at those above who borrowed money from the household department, almost half of them were civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty, and none of their sons ran away, including Yinzhen, who was in charge of checking the loans.

Kangxi clenched his fist tightly in his left hand, and his heart was full of anger. Just like what Yinzhen and Yierha said before, Jiangshan belongs to Kangxi himself in the end. Dig out your own family, even if it is your own son.

Everyone saw Kangxi sitting on the dragon chair with no expression after reading the list, and they were a little uncertain for a while.Just as everyone was preparing to meet Kangxi's wrath, unexpectedly they heard Li Dequan's voice saying that the court was over.

The courtiers didn't know why, and they left the Forbidden City full of doubts, but several princes and elder brothers were sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation by Kangxi.

Why didn't Kangxi have an attack in the court?It's just because there are a few of his sons who are not up to date on the list. Although they are a minority compared to his servants, Kangxi also understands that if he can't even deal with his own sons, how can he convince the crowd.

Of course, the Wei, Li, and Cao families were the ones on the list that irritated Kangxi the most, and these three families borrowed the most from the Ministry of Household Affairs.He knew in his heart how the money was borrowed, and it was precisely because he knew that he gave them the biggest fat job in the world, but Kangxi did not expect that there would be such a money job, and the three families of Wei, Li, and Cao had gone so far. The arrears have not been paid off.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, everyone from the prince to the thirteenth elder brother knelt obediently, and no one spoke, including Yinzhen.Except for the prince, these princes were often punished by Kangxi from childhood to adulthood.It was just punished to kneel, it was nothing, and they were not asked to kneel outside, the hall was very warm, and there were thick blankets, so kneeling was not uncomfortable.

"Fourth!" Kangxi's chilly voice sounded in the quiet hall.

"My son is here."

"Tell me, where did the money from the treasury go?"

Yinzhen didn't hesitate, and immediately opened his mouth and said: "I have borrowed all. The prince, eldest brother, third brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, and tenth brother have all borrowed, as well as officials and officials in the court. The clan and royal relatives are all different, and the total loan amount is 3000 million taels of silver. Now there is a cabinet full of IOUs left by the household department." These shocking figures made Yinzhen say them in his cold and slow tone, making him kneel Everyone who watched wanted to laugh.

But soon they stopped laughing.As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, a beautifully crafted official kiln teacup flew over from the Kangxi calligraphy table, startling several people.But no one dared to dodge, and they all knelt there with their heads down.Everyone knew that Huang Ama was really angry this time, but is it really that serious?In the majestic Qing Dynasty, there was no silver in the treasury, only a large cabinet of IOUs?No one would believe this.

Everyone looked suspiciously at Yinzhen who was kneeling there calmly, and the fourth child also borrowed it himself, and he said it outright without shy away, what does this mean?
"What are you all doing to borrow money?" Kangxi yelled at his son.He thought he didn't treat his son harshly, and he rewarded him with food, use, play, and decoration throughout the year.But looking at it now, everyone from the eldest to the tenth has borrowed money from the household department, and his son is really poor like this.

The more Kangxi thought about it, the angrier he became, and before everyone could react, another pile of greeting papers hit them all over the face.

What is the prince brother borrowing money for?Still don't make money for money.The prince is noble, but in the final analysis, he is just eating with his salary.Kangxi raised his several sons so well, who among them would be willing to be subservient to others.Cultivate influence, raise disciples, which one does not require money?No matter how much Kangxi rewarded them, it was a drop in the bucket for them, and it was not enough to be a rich and idle person.If you want to do something big, let alone mention it.So how to get money, they can only figure out their own way.

"When I was out of the palace a few years ago, I borrowed 5 taels from the household department to repair the mansion because I didn't have enough money. I will pay back the debt tomorrow." Yin was the first to speak. Zhen.

Seeing Yinzhen like this, the others scolded him for being unkind, but they had to think about how to explain where they borrowed money.

Although Yinzhi was a little absurd about the inner house, he could still see the big things clearly.Seeing that Kangxi was really angry this time, he didn't hesitate at the moment, "Going back to Huang Ama, my son borrowed 15 taels from the household department before, and used it to buy books and ask someone to compile them."

Kangxi's mouth twitched when he heard this, "15 taels of silver, did you buy all the books?"

"If Huang Ama doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

Kangxi is angry now, but he can't let it out. After all, everyone knows that the third child loves to read, so he can't say that you are wrong in reading, right? It's a good thing, but there is a limit to everything, and I limit you to pay back the 15 taels of silver within three months."

Yinzhi is not a stunned young man, he is against Kangxi at this juncture, so he obediently agreed to Kangxi's words and promised to pay back the debt within three months.
