It¡¯s almost New Year¡¯s Day, and tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the exact number hasn¡¯t come out yet. After today, even the household department must take a rest. When the New Year is over, it will be half a month later. How much time will this delay?
He paced anxiously back and forth in the duty room of the Household Department. The tea cup on the coffee table was already cold, but he seemed to be unaware.
In the north and south stalls, there was the sound of abacus beads crackling everywhere. Clerks hurriedly shuttled in front of each case, handing each book back and forth to the hands of the court official, while sitting in the hall. The court official will check again.
In the distance, the sound of firecrackers can be faintly heard, and the New Year's Eve dinner is about to begin.
Wang Wen'an, the head of the household department, had a livid face and kept apologizing: "Mr. Li, it's the fault of the lower official. It's the lower official's fault. The lower official never expected it. He failed to check it several times. The deviation in the number was too big. There was no preparation in advance.¡±
Li Dongyang pressed his hand: "It's not too late to make up for it, hey I hope there won't be any more omissions today. Today is the end of the year, so thank you for your hard work."
After waiting for another half an hour, we saw that it was getting dark. Next, it was time to have New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.
Li Dongyang looked tired, but finally the official sitting in the hall hurried over, holding a book with still wet ink in his hand, and said in surprise: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, we have calculated the number of stalls in the north and south. They match, and the difference is negligible"
"Oh" Li Dongyang raised his eyebrows, took the book, and saw that it recorded "two million seven hundred and fifty-four thousand six hundred and twenty-seven taels of silver in the treasury, and seven hundred and ninety thousand five hundred and four hundred thousand taels of silk". He briefly scanned the words "Ten pounds" and then took the south stall's book and compared it with each other. That's right, the numbers in the two stalls were almost the same, which meant that this time it was accurate.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty asked several times about the balance at the end of the year, which is related to many government orders after the new year. Just at noon, the palace came to ask once" He raised his eyes and looked outside. Tian Se frowned: "Is it inappropriate to report the number to the palace at this time? But"
Li Dongyang knows this emperor very well. If he doesn't report to the palace today, he will have to wait until after the new year. According to His Majesty's temperament, he will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.
He pondered for a moment: "Prepare the sedan chair and enter the palace now. It is better to take advantage of this last opportunity to ask Your Majesty to take a look."
¡¡¡¡
The palace was already filled with joy.
The eunuchs were already busy, scrambling for the feast in the palace.
Queen Zhang and the princess have already gone to the Longevity Palace. They will sit with the Queen Mother for a while. When the auspicious time comes, the three generations of the royal family will gather together and have a happy reunion.
Zhu Houzhao had already entered the palace and was called by Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi naturally would not give him a good look. Zhu Houzhao was especially nervous today. After all, being impulsive was one thing. But after the impulse passed and he calmed down, he felt that he might be doomed, so he stayed with the smiling face and carefully looked at his own face. Father.
Emperor Hongzhi is now in no mood to pay attention to Zhu Houzhao. This year's household expenditure has not been delivered yet. If this is the case, it means that many of his ideas will not be realized in the next half month, and he feels unsure.
The officials could rest, and the ministries and yamen could relax, but Emperor Hongzhi did not dare to stop. He always felt that he had too many things to do.
He seemed a little anxious. In the past, the account books from the Ministry of Accounts should have been delivered a few days ago, but this year, something should have gone wrong.
When I think about it, I feel depressed.
Emperor Hongzhi raised his head in an instant and suddenly met Zhu Houzhao's eyes. When their eyes met, Emperor Hongzhi noticed the fear and uneasiness in his son's eyes, as well as the deliberate expression of flattery. Emperor Hongzhi said calmly with a sullen face: "I'm sorry. Yet?"
"I know I was wrong." Zhu Houzhao said in an honest and courteous manner.
Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face: "Tell me about it."
"My son should not contradict my father." Zhu Houzhao smiled with a harmless look: "My son even if he knows that his father is wrong, he should never, absolutely should not, and he should not"
"Huh?" A cold glint flashed across Emperor Hongzhi's eyes. He still refused to admit his mistake, even though he said this. What does it mean to know that his father was wrong
Emperor Hongzhi's hands were a little itchy. If it weren't for New Year's Eve, he would have to go to Wanshou Palace for a family reunion. Emperor Hongzhi really wanted to beat this silly son to death. He shook his head in his heart and said seriously: "Fang Jifan is just coaxing you, why are you still here?" not understand?"
?"Old Fang uh Fang Jifan will not lie to his ministers." Zhu Houzhao smiled, like a turtle receiving a guest, but he persisted in his words.
Emperor Hongzhi felt that his patience had reached the limit: "Humph, can Fang Jifan calculate such a large amount in one day? Is he a god in the sky, or is he a Wenqu star from the sky? You, even if you trust a person, you can't You must also understand their true intentions. I only have a son like you. In the future, you will succeed to the throne. Of course, you must trust your ministers, but you must not"
At this point, a eunuch crept in: "Your Majesty, Grand Scholar Li Dongyang wants to see you."
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s body was shaken.
Master Li knew that I had already calculated the money and food from the Ministry of Household Affairs, so at this critical moment, he entered the palace without hesitation.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Please come in."
After a while, Li Dongyang came to see him, and he saluted Emperor Hongzhi: "I am guilty of ten thousand deaths, Hubu"
Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands and said: "It's already hard for you. You are still in the Ministry of Revenue today. Why, the calculation has been done?"
Li Dongyang held up the book he had prepared with both hands: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
The eunuch took it and put it on the imperial desk. Emperor Hongzhi sat down, picked up the book, and opened it.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining: "FatherFatheryou are correcting logarithms, correcting logarithms"
Emperor Hongzhi seemed impatient. This stupid son was still unwilling to give up. He had been talking to him all over the place. After talking so many reasons, he was still the same as before. He couldn't help but get angry and blurted out: "Stop"
I wanted to say shut up.
But immediately, Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s expression changed.
This number actually looks familiar.
¡®There are two million seven hundred and fifty-four thousand six hundred and twenty-five taels of silver in the treasury, and 790,000 and 540 catties of silk¡¯
The number in the first line Emperor Hongzhi was a little impressed, because
His eyes flashed and he couldn't help but said: "Here comes someone"
The eunuch bowed: "My servant is here."
Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Where is Fang Jifan's book?"
"My slave, go get it now."
In the Nuan Pavilion, things suddenly became weird.
Even Li Dongyang felt strange.
Emperor Hongzhi was even more solemn and silent.
Zhu Houzhao kept looking here, but Emperor Hongzhi just had a straight face and seemed to have stopped breathing.
Not long after, the eunuch brought the book, and Emperor Hongzhi opened it. The two books were spread out in front of the imperial desk. In Fang Jifan's book, it was clearly written: "Two, seven hundred and fifty-four thousand yuan of silver entered into the treasury." One thousand six hundred and twenty-two taels. ¡¯
??????????????????????????? and the deposited silver calculated by the household department are actually almost the same, except for the last little bit of mantissa, there is a slight change.
Emperor Hongzhi took a breath of cold air.
This guyreally did the math?
You must know that those accounts are as of the seventh day of December. It is impossible for Fang Jifan to get the accounts from the Ministry of Accounts in advance. Zhu Houzhao did go to the Ministry of Accounts to copy a copy, but he sent Fang Jifan's accounts to Fang Jifan within a few days. In front of the emperor.
In other words, this guy really only spent a few days calculating the money and food of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it was accurate! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
