Chapter 777

He now very much suspects that Huo Zhennan seriously injured himself and made trouble at the gate of Huo's mansion in order to divert his attention so that he could not control the household department in time.

But with Huo Zhennan's brain as a martial artist, he didn't feel that the other party had such a strategy.

After thinking about it, he could only focus on Xiao Yunzhi.

Zheng Lian has been in a high position for many years, and he is also a scheming and smiling tiger. Ordinary people feel a little uneasy when he looks at him like this, but Xiao Yun knows it is different. He still has time to smile back and walk away.

Now Zheng Lian felt that this son was beyond his control!

Suppressing his fear, Zheng Lian sat down in his seat and opened the account book——

"Where did the prince draw the silver?"

The rest of the household department were silent like cicadas.

What does the household department do?

They are in charge of land, household registration, taxation, official salaries and all financial matters.

Zheng Lianyuan thought that the money that the crown prince could transfer either cut off the needs of several other ministries, or deducted the salaries of officials, or added some items to taxes, no matter which one, he would definitely offend many Few people.

He is also ready to follow the prince's loopholes to teach him a good lesson, so as to dampen his spirit.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Industry applied for a large sum of money for the natural disasters that the counties and counties would suffer every year. Zheng Lian opened it up and saw that it was really called by the prince.

He suppressed the corner of his mouth in disdain: "How can this be good, the crown prince transferred the money away, how can the Ministry of Industry help the people rebuild their homes?"

"When the time comes to arouse public anger, how should I explain to His Majesty?"

A principal who was not so close to Zheng Lian's party was full of joy: "Master Shang Shu, don't worry, this won't happen!"

Zheng Lian: "?"

The chief happily explained: "Didn't His Royal Highness propose to build river channels and dams in the court last year?"

"In fact, His Highness has also made many other preparations in those disaster-prone areas. In previous years, the flooded and dry areas have improved to varying degrees this year."

"Although it cannot be completely avoided, the loss is greatly reduced because of the good defense in the early stage."

"In addition, His Royal Highness also asked people to promote several crops with high yield and short harvest period, so the expenditure in this area has also been saved!"

"The money reserved by our household department for this part is actually useless in the first place, and there is no adverse effect at all if His Highness uses it as military pay!"

After finishing speaking, the principal felt a little strange—why doesn't Mr. Zheng look happy?
If the people don't make trouble, the people won't be chaotic. Isn't this a great thing?

He looked at his colleagues suspiciously, but no one answered him.

Zheng Lian only rubbed the bridge of his nose and continued to look down. The tax and the salary that should be paid have not been touched, so he was a little puzzled: "Even if the weather is good this year, it is impossible for His Highness to collect so much money from it." , what else did he do?"

Several servants and the principal looked at each other in blank dismay: "Your Highness, he..."

Jinxiu was also very curious, although Lao Xiao had collected the money for her brother, it would be bad if Zheng Lian grabbed her braid because of it.

"Is it really okay?"

Xiao Yunzhi scratched her little nose in a funny way, and said that he must go to that damned Ji Wushuang to get the antidote tomorrow!
"Don't worry, you can't move things on the surface, but I can't move things in the dark?"

"I have stayed in the household department for so long, I did not stay in vain."

Jinxiu scratched her heart and lungs even more: "Where did you attack?"
