Lady Feng Sheng¡¯s Mansion, in the lobby
Qiao Mu first asked the servants to get out.
Then, he asked seriously:
¡°We¡¯ll talk about other things when they come.
I only ask you two questions.
How much money do you owe to the treasury?
How much money has been gained from corruption and bribery over the years? "
Qiao Mu¡¯s question is very acute.
If anyone else had asked, they might have been killed and silenced by Zhen Shijia.
But now it¡¯s his mother who¡¯s asking.
He could only smile bitterly and said helplessly:
¡°Mom, did you hear someone say some nonsense?
"Our family has always been law-abiding, so how could we do such corrupt things as to owe money to the national treasury"
"shut up!
¡°Do you think I¡¯m blind or deaf?
¡°Do you think your mother and I spent decades in the palace in vain? Tell me honestly.
No cover-up or fiction is allowed. "
The original person is actually very aware of her son's corruption and bribery. However, the original person believes that her son's corruption and bribery are allowed by the superiors, and has already returned the money gained from corruption to the national treasury.
But it wasn't until she ransacked her home that she realized that her son had not paid back a penny to the treasury and had been owing millions of taels of silver to the treasury. Think about it, if he owed money to ordinary people, his creditors would want to kill him, let alone how much money he owed to the royal family. One million taels of silver.
Isn¡¯t this seeking death?
¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong with you?
¡°You didn¡¯t always care about these things before, why did it happen suddenly today? Who said¡±
Zhen Shijia is still changing the topic.
Qiao Mu tapped the ground with his cane and said angrily:
¡°Why, do you still want to kill someone?
Who do you think you can hide what you did?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You idiot!
Return the money from the treasury to me as soon as possible. "
¡°Mom, what does this mean?
¡°The money our family owes to the national treasury is all due to the four pick-ups. This is originally the money our family spent for the royal family. There is no reason why we have to pay it back. This is too"
Zhen Shijia is still a little confused.
In his opinion, the reason why their family owed five million taels of silver to the treasury was because they had received four trips, and the emperor's palace in Jiangnan was all paid for by his family, including all the food.
"The money was obviously spent on the emperor, so why should their family have to pay the debt?"
No matter how you think about it, this is wrong.
"Why do you think the emperor asked you to come here to do Jiangnan weaving, and why he allowed you to intervene in Jiangnan's salt policy, and even allowed you to sell salt.
Do you think it¡¯s because I trust you?
I was worried that you wouldn't be able to repay the treasury, so I came to find you some money. I originally thought you could understand His Majesty's thoughts, but today I found out that you haven't even returned a penny to the treasury. Are you? What do you want to do?
You idiot! "
The original person has always been very clear about the emperor's intentions, and it is for this reason that she turns a blind eye to her son's corruption and bribery, because she knows that this is allowed by the emperor, as long as the money owed is paid back. They won't be held accountable.
But the original person really didn¡¯t expect that his son would be so stupid as to think that the money from the treasury does not need to be paid back.
At this time, Qiao Mu could only point it out directly.
My understanding is so poor that I can only explain it clearly.
"Thisis actually like this?"
Zhen Shijia originally thought that the reason why he was appreciated by the emperor was because of his outstanding abilities and his mother.
I never thought there was such a layer.
But now let¡¯s hear what his mother says.
The real thing does have some meaning.
I was so frightened that I broke out in cold sweat, feeling panicked that I was being monitored by the emperor all the time.
¡°Mom, what should I do?¡±
"What should I do? You haven't told me how much money you owe the treasury, and how much have you embezzled?
"Hurry up, I'll also give you some advice. "
Qiao Mu immediately glared at him and asked.
¡°Okay, mother, I¡¯ll tell you right now.
When we first picked up a driver, our family didn¡¯t have much money, so the whole family could only afford it.He squeezed out 50,000 taels of silver, but he couldn't even build the foundation of the palace with 50,000 taels of silver, so he borrowed 1.5 million taels of silver from the treasury to build the palace.
Later, it cost another 500,000 taels to pick him up.
The second time it cost 600,000 taels.
The third time, because the Holy Emperor¡¯s stay was relatively short, he only spent 400,000 taels of silver.
The fourth time was also 600,000 taels.
These are all borrowed from the treasury.
In addition, the annual maintenance and service costs of the palace are about 100,000 taels.
In total, we owe the treasury five million taels.
As for being filial to silver.
Every year, merchants may send thousands or tens of thousands taels as tribute, and salt merchants send more. On average, they can get more than 600,000 taels a year.
You can dig some of the salt from the salt dealer.
There are about 400,000 taels per year.
The recently replaced Salt Patrol Censor is more rigorous. This year it will be less, maybe only around 200,000. Over the years, it should be around 5 million. Some merchants give away antiques and rare treasures, which are not easy to estimate. , I can¡¯t say either. "
Speaking of the amount of money that was embezzled later, Zhen Shijia herself really couldn't say the word "corruption".
So I just say that you should be filial to your money.
"Since you can fill the hole in the treasury, then you should take some time to pay back the money you owe to the treasury."
As soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, he saw Zhen Shijia's head lowered even further, and she immediately understood that he might still have some questions that he had not yet explained.
He hurriedly asked: "What's the problem?"
¡°Mom, I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have enough money at home.
The Sixth Prince needs money. As the Sixth Prince¡¯s grandfather, I must be able to get some money. "
The granddaughter of the original person who was drafted into the palace as a concubine is Zhen Shijia's daughter.
Of course there is also the operation of the original body.
¡°For example, from time to time, let your granddaughter come into the palace to see you, and have a chance encounter with the emperor.
¡° In this way, the original granddaughter naturally became a little familiar with the emperor. In addition, the original person told his granddaughter all about the emperor¡¯s habits and temperament, and deliberately flattered him. Naturally, the original granddaughter had a good relationship with the emperor.
She even became a beloved concubine and gave birth to the sixth prince.
After having the prince, Zhen Shijia became more courageous. At the same time, she also had some ideas about the throne. She wanted to put her grandson on the throne. In this way, the Zhen family would be able to maintain its prosperity for another hundred years.
"Do you want money to win over the direct descendants and win over the ministers?
This is really a bad idea. Do you think the Holy One has no fear of those princes who have grown up and even have sons and daughters who are not young?
Then tell me how much is left? "
Qiao Mu glared at him and continued to ask.
"Well there are about two million taels left"
Zhen Shijia¡¯s head is still lowered.
"After you go back today, you will sell all the antiques and other things in your house. Anyway, you will sell everything that can be sold. You can raise as much money as you can. At least give me another two million. I have it here. I can also take out another one million taels.
The money in the treasury cannot be delayed any longer.
Your Majesty should have an estimate of how much you can embezzle every year. If you delay any longer, Your Majesty will probably be a little dissatisfied with you. Do you understand? "
The original person was very clear about the emperor¡¯s temperament.
It is clear that the current emperor has the kind of temperament that loves someone and makes him fall into the abyss. If he has a good impression of someone, he may reward him lavishly and even give him a title. But once he has a bad feeling, he may turn his back in an instant. , involving the whole clan.
If you don¡¯t pay him back the money quickly within his patience period, there will be nothing he can do if he turns around and turns against you.
If you repay it in time, he will think that you are still a loyal minister, who not only knows how to share the royal family's worries, but also knows how to stop in time and not overstep. But if you don't repay it in time, he will think that you are pushing your limits and not thinking about the emperor's favor. You are definitely not a person.
