Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 452 The Beginning (Part [-])

Cao Yin is a great personage. Cao Yin, who was born in the 15th year of Shunzhi, entered the palace at the age of 16 as the imperial guard of Kangxi. In the 29th year of Kangxi, he was appointed as Suzhou weaving, and three years later moved to Jiangning weaving. From the 42nd year of Kangxi, he was separated from Li Xu. He was in charge of salt affairs in Huaihe River and Huaihe River for four times in total. After Kangxi, he lived in Cao Yin’s house during the four southern tours. Cao Yin, who was supposed to die in Kangxi’s 51st year, is still alive now. This may be the butterfly effect brought about by Yinzuo.

The Cao family was originally a royal servant, but now they have climbed up the branch and become relatives of the emperor. Their daughter Cao Chunyan is now a concubine, and she is considered one of the most favored concubines in front of Yinzuo. Even the Cao family, which was already on the verge of decline, once again glowed with new brilliance.It is true that the Cao family is a rich family, but it is also a big debtor. Over the decades, the accumulated silver taels owed to the state treasury reached an astonishing 40 taels. Naturally, the Cao family should be cleared up, but due to the status of the Cao family, few people dared to raise this issue publicly, and Naning happened to be one of them. The commanders of the Eight Banners, who planned to renege on their debts, immediately made a fuss.

Hongli looked at the Eight Banners who were making a lot of noise with a smile all over his face, and he was not at all unhappy. After waiting for everyone to make a fuss, Hongli said with a smile: "Everyone, uncles, nephews! If you heard me right, what you uncles mean is that as long as Cao Yin pays off the debt, you uncles will definitely not be left behind, right?"

It is true that the Cao family is prominent, and it is true that the Jiangning Weaving Mansion is short of oil, water and fertilizer, but Cao Yin is not too greedy as an official, and his annual income is actually very limited. The arrears of 40 taels of silver is not an easy task. Moreover, most of the debt of 40 taels of silver was actually spent to welcome Mr. Kangxi. In other words, the 40 taels of silver was actually Kangxi The old man owed it, the Cao family just gave it a name.The leaders of the Eight Banners present are all well-informed people, and they know the situation of the Cao family well. No one thinks that the Cao family will be able to pay back the debts. My head was a little wobbly, but now, the Cao family is considered the last straw, and I have to grab it if I don't want to. The big guys looked at each other without saying a word, and stared at Naning all the time.

Naning, who had been forced into a corner by Hongli, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If the Cao family can pay back the debt, the old man will naturally be able to."

"Oh?" Hongli said casually: "That's good, my nephew can trust the words of the father-in-law, so what about other uncles' wishes?"

"Repay it, the Cao family can do it, the old man has nothing to say." Heta, the governor of Zhengbai Banners, was so excited that he yelled with a dark face, and the commanders of the Eight Banners didn't believe it at all. The Cao family was able to repay the debt. Seeing that the matter had come to this point, they all expressed their opinions. Although the words were different, the reasoning was the same. Generally speaking, they wanted to advance and retreat with the Cao family.

"Okay!" Hongli smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Uncles understand righteousness deeply, and my nephew admires it very much, good, good, good!" A series of applause from Hongli immediately brought the Eight Banners all together. Confused, each stared blankly at the smiling Hongli, with a feeling of being cheated.Sure enough, just as the big guy was guessing wildly, Hongli unhurriedly took out a document from his sleeve, held it up in the air, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "The Cao family has already paid off the debt. Here is the receipt from the household department, if you don’t believe me, please check it out.”

"What? How is this possible?"

"fake!"

"is that a lie?"

... All the sons and eight banners were beaten to death all the way, and they didn't believe that the Cao family could pay off the debt so quickly, and they all started shouting at once, and the clamor was endless.

"Uncles, please be quiet." Hongli said with a smile: "This paper is the receipt of the household department, and there is another account book. You can check it. If it is confirmed, all uncles, please sign and draw. If you dare to be selfish, if you uncles don’t pay off the debt within three days, the one-point interest will have to start to be calculated; if you don’t pay off the debt within two months, then I ask you uncles to weigh the consequences themselves.”

letter?The devil believes that the Cao family can pay off the 40 taels of silver owed within a month. Naturally, this audit must be checked. Together, the Eight Banners have taken turns to check the receipts and account books of the household department. Unfortunately, all of this is Really, there is no falsification at all.

"Brother, is it possible that the Cao family's money came from embezzling public funds?" Zhengbai Banner Dutong Heta asked bluntly, pointing to the account book.

"That's right, otherwise, where did the Cao family get so much cash, could it be that it was the Holy Majesty's help?" asked Daxu, the captain of Xianghuang Banner.

Daxu's question is poisonous, if Yin Zuo helps the Cao family advance money, then there is no reason not to help Naning, to help Naning, then there is no reason not to help all the Eight Banners, and all Commanders, there is no reason not to help the Eight Banners, and so on. In the end, all the shortfalls in the national treasury should be filled by Yin Zuo.At the same time, the capitals of the Eight Banners were all treacherous and cunning characters, and they immediately started making noises. Although they didn't dare to say that Yin Zuo was biased, they meant that in their words.Of course, the cautiousness of the commanders of the Eight Banners cannot be hidden from Hongli, and Hongli said calmly, "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood, but my nephew can assure you that the money from the Cao family is legitimate and innocent. It is definitely not the result of the Majesty's generation."

"This..." Heta was stunned for a moment, and said first: "I'm afraid it's impossible. The old man is a family friend with the Cao family, and the old man is clear about his family's affairs. With his family's financial resources, he has to spend 40 taels." It's not impossible, but if they really do this, the Cao family is afraid that they will be ruined, and the old man received a letter from Cao Yin a few days ago, but he didn't mention this matter."

"Hahaha..." Hongli burst out laughing, laughing so much that all the Eight Banners were in charge, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure out what was so ridiculous about this matter. Just as he was wondering, Hongli stopped laughing and spoke. Said: "All uncles have deposited money in the bank, haven't they?"

What is the relationship between the bank and Cao's arrears?not understand!All the way, the Eight Banners stared at Hongli blankly, no one could figure out what Hongli was talking about.

"My lords are only concerned with saving money, but have you ever thought about borrowing money from the bank? Well, I'm afraid not. You uncles are all rich, so naturally you won't think about borrowing money, right? Hehe, The bank has deposits and loans. The Cao family just used all their property and the shares of the Eight Banners company as collateral to borrow money from the bank to repay the debt owed by the treasury. This is not against the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Uncles If you don't believe me, you can go to Huimin Bank to check, oh, if the bank doesn't allow you to check the accounts, my nephew can issue the official document from the account department to provide convenience for all uncles." Hongli explained with a smile.

Borrowing money from banks at high interest rates is nothing new. Although the leaders of the Eight Banners who were present had never done such things, they still knew more or less. With such an explanation, it can be regarded as a general understanding. Although it is not clear how the Cao family would have such courage to do this, the terrible thing is that the Cao family has already paid off all the debts. Talking about it, in desperation, all the subordinates and the Eight Banners had no choice but to obediently sign the repayment agreement prepared by Hongli, and went home cursing and trying to find a way to raise money to pay off the debt...

"Okay, Hongli's work is done very well. With the role models of the Eight Banners, the next work will be much easier." In the study room, Yinzuo pointed to a copy of the paper submitted by Hongli. Report, said with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the cooperation of the two lords, Naning and Cao Yin, played a key role in this matter being able to be done like this. It's all right on the other side of the lord Naning, but even though the Cao family paid off the debt with a mortgage, But next..." Shi Shilun, who came to report the progress of the work, hesitated for a while, and still didn't dare to complete the sentence, but the meaning was very clear, that is, the Cao family mortgaged their property and paid off the debts of the national treasury, but the Cao family basically There is no hope of repaying the bank loan. When the bank collects the debt, I am afraid that the people will sue the government. At that time, the court's face will be the same thing. If Yinzuo's harem is on fire, then it will be Terrible, Shi Shilun, who is the specific manager, doesn't want to be hated by a popular concubine.

Shi Shilun's subtext can't be hidden from Yinzuo. When Hongli reported the plan, Yinzuo considered this issue. To be honest, four to five hundred thousand taels of silver are just a small amount for Yinzuo's rich internal treasury. It's just a small amount. If Yinzuo really wants to pay back the money for the Cao family, he can do it easily, but due to various considerations, Yinzuo didn't do so. Seeing Shi Shilun's embarrassment at this moment, Yinzuo smiled and said: "It's okay, isn't there still one year left? Let's talk about it when the time comes. Aiqing just helps Hongli with clearing up debts, promoting the distribution of people into the mu, and the integration of officials and gentry. Let me take care of other things." gone."

"Yes, my minister is resigning." Shi Shilun watched Yin Zuo agree to finish the matter, the big stone in his heart finally fell, kowtowed respectfully, and exited the upper study.

"Your Majesty, E Yining, the editor of the Imperial Academy, has come and has been waiting outside for a long time." Shi Shilun had just left the upper study room, when Gao Nianying, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, hurriedly walked up to him, and reported with lowered eyebrows.

"Oh." Yinzuo was stunned for a moment before he remembered what kind of person this little editor of the Hanlin Academy was: the first nine Ge Wenxian blew his distant nephew E Yining into a flower, who has both good looks and good looks, civil and military There is no such thing as concurrent cultivation, so I hope Yinzuo can nod and promise to marry his most beloved eldest daughter, Yixue Gege, to E Yining, but Yinzuo is naturally worried if he doesn't see the previous side with his own eyes, so he dares to be casual Just accept it—according to the Qing system, the new Jinshi all have the honor of giving a banquet in front of the imperial court, but only the top four of the more than 300 new Jinshi who gave the banquet at that time had the opportunity to show their talents in front of Yinzuo, and the rest It's just for the sake of seeing the holy face from a long distance. Among Yuan Zhuo's six-year Shinke Scholars, the only ones who can leave a little impression on Yinzuo are the champion, the second place, Tanhua, and Chuanlu. The others Xinke Jinshi Yinzuo has long forgotten that he can't even remember his name.

"Declaration." Yin Zuo didn't think much about it, and gave a casual order. Gao Nianying agreed in a low voice, and quickly walked out of the upper study room. After a while, he led a young official who was less than twenty years old into the upper study room.

"E Yining, editor-in-chief of Weichen Imperial Academy, has seen the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as the official entered the upper study room, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down on the ground, and saluted meticulously. .

"No, Aiqing is fine." Yinzuo smiled and said.

"Thank you, Emperor Long En." E Yining kowtowed respectfully, got up, and stood in front of Yin Zuo with his head slightly lowered.

Hmm, this kid looks pretty good, um, he looks a bit like Song Yu and Pan An. As far as appearance is concerned, that dead girl Wen Xian is not exaggerating. , The investigation results of "Honghu" did not find that this kid has any bad habits, which is a bit interesting.Yin Zuo didn't speak, but just looked at E Yining carefully, and began to judge his character in his heart, just like a father-in-law picking his son-in-law.

Yinzuo is picky enough, but E Yining, who is being interrogated, is not so easy. Without him, Yinzuo is the emperor and holds the power of life and death in the world. The evil spirit on his body is already heavy, let an emperor like Yinzuo stare at him, no one can bear it, but if he can't bear it, he has to bear it, if there is something like being rude to the emperor, don't talk about marrying the princess, Even his little life may not be saved. In the cold weather, poor E Yining was sweating on his forehead, but fortunately he managed to hold on, so that his legs and feet would not go weak, and he blamed his own Domineering aunt's self-assertion.

Good! Not bad, very good!To be able to remain calm under our coercion, this skill of nourishing qi is considered qualified.Yinzuo smiled and said, "How old is E Aiqing this year? Have you ever been married?"

Knowing that Yinzuo asked this question knowingly, but E Yining dared not answer, and replied very respectfully: "My lord, Weichen was born in May of the 35th year of Kangxi. He is now nineteen years old and has never been married. .”

"Oh." Yin Zuo nodded, and when he was about to say something more, he suddenly saw Liu Chun, the chief eunuch of Changchun Palace, rushing up behind Gao Nianying, stopped talking immediately, and frowned...
