The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 432 Is 3000 Taels Too Little?

The birthday banquet of His Highness the First Prince ended early, and before it was completely dark, Li Zhao led the three of them into the palace to plead guilty.

"3000 taels, 3000 taels...isn't 3000 taels still low? Ordinary people can't earn 3000 taels in their lifetime!"

The emperor was dizzy with anger at Ou Shaofeng's embezzlement, scolded him, sprayed Ou Shaofeng with saliva, and kicked over a small nanmu stool.

The emperor finished cursing in one breath, took a breath, and asked, "How do you plan to atone for this matter?"

Ou Shaofeng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly had his eyes lit up. What is "repentance for sins"?This is what it means to give yourself a chance.

It's time for Li Zhao to interject, "Father, my son thinks it's better to let the Ou family bear the loss this time, and bear all the expenses of the two ghost craft ships and three thousand shi of rice."

The emperor was silent, while Ou Shaofeng raised his heart.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!
The blood vessels on the forehead were bulging and bulging, and his heavy heartbeat was all around his ears.

"Father!" Seeing that the emperor still did not let go of his promise, Li Zhao shouted anxiously.

The emperor caressed his forehead, and said: "Take Ou Shaofeng to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to await trial. The Xu family boy will go home first to reflect, and within five days, he will write a brochure to strengthen Tianjin patrolling and send it to the cabinet. Liang Zhengxiang and Zhao'er will stay here."

Ou Shaofeng's heart sank to the bottom, but he didn't say a word, and followed Eunuch Yang out obediently.

Xu Youzhong went out the door full of joy.

Inside the room, the emperor looked at Liang Zhengxiang and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Liang Zhengxiang hurriedly knelt down and reported the situation of the four major families in the Tianjin Mansion to the emperor. After hearing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Zhaoer, I will leave this matter to you. It is done. I will credit Liang Aiqing with credit." .”

Liang Zhengxiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

The emperor nodded and asked him to go out first, and then said to Li Zhao, "I want to ask your daughter-in-law to enter the palace tomorrow, what she means."

Li Zhao was taken aback, and quickly lowered his head to agree.

When he came out of the emperor's study room, the palace door was already locked, Li Zhaoqing walked to a corner door familiarly, the guard guarding the door was not surprised to see His Highness, and immediately opened the door to let him out.

When we returned to the mansion, it was already late at night.

He took off his soap boots, and walked lightly into the bedroom, only to see the little beauty dressed in a costume of a dancer from the Western Regions, lying on the beauty couch and falling asleep.

The corners of her lips were raised high, and her heart softened.Li Zhao picked him up, and the beauty in his arms groaned and woke up slowly. Seeing that the man who had been waiting for two or three hours had finally returned home, he smiled sweetly, and stretched his arms lazily around the man's neck.

Li Zhao lowered his eyes, stared at his wife's delicate and beautiful face, and asked with a slightly hoarse voice, "Waiting for a long time?"

Song Qingyue leaned softly on his chest, and said with a little grievance: "I sent my sister, sister-in-law and sister-in-law away early, and wanted to surprise my husband, but you came back so late."

Li Zhao laughed and kissed her heavily on the lips.

"Why isn't it a surprise? How come you are so nice to your husband all of a sudden?" There was a secret joy in his tone.

Song Qingyue smiled, and continued to be aggrieved and coquettish: "Nurse said that I have been too fierce to His Highness recently, and that His Highness will despise me sooner or later and spoil those who are gentle and petty." She hugged his neck and tightened her arms: "I No, it hurts to think about it. Isn't this to please my husband and tell His Highness not to dislike me. "

"You! Little fox!" Li Zhao laughed loudly, "Don't listen to Mammy's nonsense."

He gently placed her on the bed, and pressed her down...

The two had always been in harmony on the bed, and Li Zhao was obsessed with Song Qingyue's body. Even though she had a few faint stretch marks on her stomach, he still liked her so much.

At nightfall, Li Zhao carried the beauty who was too tired to move out of the fragrant bath.

After going to bed, Song Qingyue clung to Li Zhao's warm body like an octopus, sighing comfortably.

Li Zhao caressed her silky smooth back, suddenly remembered his father's explanation, and clicked his tongue: Beauty is nothing to worry about!Almost forgot something important.

"Yue'er, don't sleep yet, let me tell you something."

"Yeah." Song Qingyue closed her eyes and didn't even bother to open her mouth.

"Father asked you to enter the palace tomorrow."

"You want to see your grandson again? Didn't you just see this one?"

"No, I just want to ask you how to deal with Ou Shaofeng."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyue suddenly woke up: "What's going on? Why do you ask me?"

Li Zhaoqian laughed and told Song Qingyue about Tianjin.

After understanding the cause and effect, Song Qingyue asked Li Zhao, "What did your husband say at that time?"

Li Zhaodao: "Let Ou Shaofeng either replenish the lost silver to the treasury, or give up the position of the governor. I guess, the father thinks this punishment is too light. But after all, the Ou family is the hero of Conglong, and the father probably thinks the punishment It won't work if it's too heavy."

Song Qingyue closed her eyes again, remained silent for a while, and said, "I see, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, Song Qingyue fell asleep again, and when she got up, the little guy had already eaten half a bowl of milk and half a bowl of rice porridge with yam paste.

Ever since Song Qingyue ordered Ah Fang not to feed until the o'clock, even if the cub was crying from hunger, he was not allowed to secretly feed him, the little guy was hungry and finally ate honestly after a few meals.

In fact, the biggest obstacle on the road to inculcating the good habit of eating on time for the cub is Nanny Bai.

Nanny's heart was soft and she couldn't hear Xiaoshizi cry.

Whenever he cried, Mammy's heart would be broken, and she couldn't help secretly feeding him a couple of mouthfuls of milk.

But now there is Ah Fang, this girl is stupid, she doesn't have any messy ideas, she is determined, she is not afraid of offending Nanny Bai, she is afraid of being disliked by the princess, and she will be kicked out of the palace, so Song Qingyue's instructions are absolutely strictly implemented.

Nanny Bai has nothing to do with her.

Song Qingyue saw that the little boy had eaten honestly, and immediately felt refreshed.While thinking about Ou Shaofeng's matter in his heart, he let Nanny Bai wash and dress herself up.

Ah Fang followed Ying'er to read the Thousand Characters, and the cub was placed on a wool carpet, tossed and crawled by himself.

After Li Zhaochen came back from practice, the two had breakfast together, and Li Zhaocai took Song Qingyue to the palace with the child in his arms.

"Have you figured out how to answer Father?" Li Zhao asked Song Qingyue in the carriage.

Song Qingyue nodded: "Almost."

Li Zhao raised the corners of his lips, although he was curious about what his clever lady was thinking, but he kept silent and didn't ask anything.

He trusted Song Qingyue.

If she really couldn't make up her mind, she would definitely ask.

Get off the carriage, enter the palace gate, and the family of three go straight to Qinzheng Hall.

The emperor didn't see anyone today, just waiting for Song Qingyue.

Burning two ships, the emperor's heart ached terribly. God knows how much effort he had put in to control his urge to draw out Shang Fang's sword and kill Ou Shaofeng directly.

After Li Zhao hugged the child and led his wife in to greet the emperor, the emperor did not go to hug his grandson. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, have you heard about Tianjin?"

Song Qingyue nodded.

The emperor didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "How do you think I should deal with Ou Shaofeng?"

Song Qingyue didn't talk nonsense, and said according to her own thoughts: "Your Majesty, I believe that no matter how this matter is handled, the ultimate goal is to prevent such things from happening again."

One sentence awakened the emperor.

For this matter, the emperor tossed and turned all night.

Hard to do!
Don't kill people, he's always in a bad mood. For a greedy person like the Ou family, the emperor always feels that letting go of Ou Shaofeng not only won't get gratitude, but will also arouse resentment from the Ou family.

You can kill people directly, and you will be resented even more.

In order not to bury the root of trouble in the future, he had to wipe out the three families of the Ou family.

But this is too much.

Corrupt officials can't be killed endlessly. Every time something like this happens in the future, do we have to exterminate the three families every time?
Can't think of a clue at all.

Li Zhao's heart was filled with anger. Hearing what Ou Shaofeng said yesterday, 3000 taels was a small amount. I'm afraid Ou Shaofeng still felt wronged.

The faces of the father and son sank at the same time, Song Qingyue smiled slightly, and said: "Daughter-in-law is thinking, let Ou Shaofeng know exactly how and where the 3000 taels of silver came from, and the names of the generals and officials involved. What, write it down clearly and plainly, and then put it in the textbook of the audit department, so that all auditors must learn it. The emperor can also publish the details in the mansion newspaper, so that everyone can know. How wealth can lead to disaster."

Well, once it is written in the textbook, it will basically be infamous for thousands of years, and this punishment is quite detrimental.

She paused, looked at the faces of the emperor and Li Zhao, saw that their expressions were the same, she took a sip of tea and continued: "Secondly, we can't just punish the officials, the generals and officials involved should also be punished. , but also to find out what they have done in the past. It is impossible to do such a thing only once. Besides, these people must have entrusted someone and found a relationship to get the job of building a warship. The officials also found out. They arranged unqualified people, shouldn't they be held accountable?"

The eyebrows of the emperor and Li Zhaoting were raised high at the same time. Song Qingyue, a doll, looked gentle and soft, delicate and pretty, and every time she opened her mouth, she was frighteningly cruel.

"After such an investigation, it must be a big case involving tens of thousands of people? You want to kill people's heads and blood flow after just one year of taking the throne?" The emperor frowned.

Song Qingyue smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, you must know more ways to punish than I do. How can beheading is the only way? You have committed a crime and caused consequences, so you have to pay a price, right?"

The emperor just smiled at this time, but what Song Qingyue said next really shocked the emperor and Li Zhao.

"Also! There are more than just people who need to pay the price." Song Qingyue spoke again.

"What else?" Both the emperor and Li Zhao were surprised.

Song Qingyue put away her smile, and a pair of soft almond eyes burst out with a sharp light: "This fire was set by the Japanese!"

! !
A word to awaken the dreamer.

The faces of the emperor and Li Zhao changed.

Song Qingyue's face suddenly showed a trace of hatred: "They have repeatedly come to our Great Zhou to burn, kill and loot, shouldn't we go to their general name to ask for compensation?! When did our Great Zhou Empire be so weak that it only takes beatings and doesn't fight back?" It's so bad! When something happened, just thinking about the fault of our own people, and cooperating with them to burn our two ships, is it in vain? This is not possible!"

The emperor lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and nodded: "I understand what you mean. But the time has not come. I have just been on the throne for a year, and I am in a hurry to raise troops. It is not appropriate."

Song Qingyue's complexion softened, and she smiled sweetly at the emperor: "Father, you are still too kind."

"What's the meaning of this?" The emperor had a premonition that the little girl was about to say something cruel again.

"Wars are used to support wars, and you can earn money by fighting wars. We can only get some cattle and sheep from fighting the Tartars, but Wa Island has silver mines."

……

The emperor's action power has always been very strong. The next morning after Ou Shaofeng wrote the list overnight, Ning Yuan and Yu Weiliang went to Tianjin with Jiang Yuanchao to investigate.

Lao Qiu is one of the officials sent by the Ministry of Industry to the Beiyang Navy to supervise the construction of warships.

However, Lao Qiu didn't know how to build ships, and he didn't know how to build factories. He was responsible for arranging meals for the workers.

This is fat.

There are more than 5000 workers in the entire shipyard. As long as he writes the purchase unit price of various vegetables and meat one penny higher, he can have more than 50 taels of silver left every day.

95 If you pay filial piety to your superiors, you can keep five taels for yourself.

After a year, you can save thousands of taels!

How many people rushed to do it, but he spent a whole 200 taels of silver to get the job.

Now that the boat was burned, instead of feeling sad, Lao Qiu was extremely happy.If the boat is burned, the construction period will be prolonged. If the construction period is long, he will be able to earn more money!
When he heard that officials from Jinyiwei and Dali Temple had come to Tianjin, Lao Qiu didn't feel nervous at all.

After all, it has nothing to do with me.The fire was set by the Japanese, and it was not I who took care of the castor oil, tung oil, and paint warehouses.

He should eat and drink, and even spent a huge sum of money - 50 taels of silver to go to a very high-end brothel in Tianjin to have a good night.

He was almost fifty years old, and he would be on fire at one o'clock. He played too much at night and couldn't get up the next day.

When one of Yu Weiliang's Xiaoqi found him, Lao Qiu was still lying on the bed in Hualou, and his waist was rubbed by a juicy girl.

"You are Lao Qiu?"

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi had a smile on his face when he came in.

Lao Qiu was startled at first, but after hearing that Xiao Qi's words were very polite, his heart was gradually relieved. He hurriedly got off the bed and poured a cup of tea for that Jin Yiwei Xiao Qi with a flattering smile on his face.

After drinking tea, Xiao Qi looked around at the decoration of the room, and knew in his heart how much it would cost to sleep here for one night.

A small official from the Ministry of Industry, how can there be so much money to play around here, and it is another credit for arresting this man!So he smiled even more happily.

"May I ask that your lord came here because of the fire at the shipyard?" Lao Qiu asked.

Xiao Qi sat down with his clothes up, and said with a smile, "That's not true! His Majesty is angry, and Dudu Ou was directly imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Lao Qiu groaned, patted the back of his hands, and said with an exaggerated expression of regret: "Dudu Ou is a good official! Not to mention anything else, I, Lao Qiu, have been in the Ministry of Industry for more than 30 years. Dudu Ou is the youngest official I have ever seen. A clean and honest official! Don’t oppress the subordinates. Good man!” Lao Qiu stretched out his thumb, shook his head and sighed: “It’s a pity that you are so handsome when you are young and promising! What a pity!”

Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows, feeling happier, and complimented calmly: "Old Qiu, you are well-informed, come, sit down and talk slowly."

"Hey! That little one is welcome to sit down." Lao Qiu nodded and sat down, turned his head, and shouted in a rough voice to the girl who just rubbed his waist: "Stupid girl, what are you doing in a daze?" , Didn’t you see Lord Xiaoqi coming? Hurry up and get a cup of hot tea, and bring two plates of snacks!”

The little girl trembled when she was reprimanded, she responded in a low voice, and ran out with her head down.

Xiao Qi lazily asked about the night when the shipyard caught fire, and Lao Qiu felt more at ease, and replied truthfully: "My lord, the younger one is in charge of the workers' meals. After dinner at night, there are basically no small things. , I get up early in the morning when I do this errand, and when it gets dark, the little one goes to bed early?"

Xiao Qi continued to ask with pretentious makeup: "Did you hear any unusual noises that night?"

Lao Qiu waved his hand: "The smell of paint and castor oil is strong, the workshops are far away, and those Japanese people walk lightly. The small ones got up in a hurry to help when someone called out to put out the fire in the middle of the night."

Xiao Qi nodded, and after asking a few more casual questions, he stood up and said, "Well, you go to the yamen with me to make a record, and repeat what you just said."

Lao Qiu even said a few good words, and immediately agreed.Before leaving, he did not forget to ask the brothel to wrap the dim sum and put it in Xiao Qi's hand: "My lord, please try it, this cook is very skilled!"

Xiao Qi responded with a smile, and urged: "Okay, let's go! Go early and come back early."

Lao Qiu chuckled: "My lord is right!"
