"I don't know why the eldest princess is here?"
Jiang Wenxuan, the head of the household, walked out from behind a few people, he took off his court clothes and official hat in order to facilitate his work, and when he saw Shen Qiqi suddenly coming, he hurriedly put it on and came over, the official hat was crooked to the side, and the court dress was also tied with the wrong belt, and the whole person's dress was ridiculous."
Master Ke, this palace is here to check the accounts, you all seem to be busy, how is it?"
Shen Qiqi did not politely say perfunctory words, she wanted to find out the reason as soon as possible."
Eldest princess Qiyu, we haven't found any mistakes or omissions, the silver money has a source, and the amount of silver is correct when it is exchanged to the Ministry of Rites.As for the delivery of goods to Xuanyangguo, it should not be our household business. ”Jiang Wenxuan hurriedly cleared up the relationship between the household department, this matter is very important, the six departments except for the official department and the military department have moved, Jiang Wenxuan wants to keep the black yarn hat to prove that the household department has nothing to do with this matter, Shen Qiqi is the eldest princess who listens to the government, and it is easy for people to misunderstand when they come to the household department."
Show the accounts to Hongu."
Shen Qiqi also knew that the household department was not a place where it was easy to make mistakes, after all, it involved money and heavy responsibilities, she didn't expect to find out the results from the household department, she just wanted to get some clues.Jiang Wenxuan took out several account books from the back, each of which was at least three inches thick, Jiang Wenxuan diligently opened one of them and presented it to Shen Qiqi, Shen Qiqi took it over and looked at it carefully, the accounts are not ugly, a little more carefully can be seen, the source is the treasury, and the places are divided into the other five, and the most silver used in the Ministry of Industry is the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry uses the most silver to repair."
What's going on?
A moat costs 200,000 taels of silver?
Or do you fix it twice?
”Shen Qiqi's fingers moved on the ledger, and she saw that there was a project that used silver under the same name, and it was actually a moat."
The eldest princess, everything that needs more than a thousand taels of silver has been seen in person, and I have made a record, and ordered someone to draw a drawing, if the eldest princess wants to see it, I can order someone to show it to the eldest princess, the moat is in disrepair for a long time, and it used to dry up to plant vegetables for the people living next to it, the regent heard Chen Shangshu mention it two years ago, and he personally inspected it and gave an order, I also looked at it several times, before I decided to allocate the silver to repair, the regent and the emperor also agreed, and we still have the handwritten edict to repair, at that time, ......
The eldest princess is not in power yet, so you don't know. ”Jiang Wenxuan turned around and ordered someone to bring a hand, Shen Qiqi raised his hand to stop it, signaling that he didn't need to, Shen Qiqi looked at the accounts again, they were all mainly repaired, her brows were getting tighter and tighter, the tax revenue of the household department was getting less and less year by year, the expenditure was more and more year by year, and the expenditure of the royal family was also more and more year by year."
Why is there so much money in the palace every year?"
Shen Qiqi saw that there was a lot of expenditure on meals, 30,000 taels more every year than the previous year, and Shen Qiqi didn't see more expensive ingredients when he ate every day, why was the expenditure so huge?"
I don't know about this, I'm just responsible for giving money, and I ask the eldest princess to find out."
Jiang Wenxuan saw Shen Qiqi's displeasure on his face, he quickly explained that Shen Qiqi ordered Jiang Wenxuan's own doubtful accounts to be copied down, and she wanted to go back and check it out in detail.No matter what kind of expenditure it is, the final signatory is Mo Yan.After a delay of an hour in the household department, Shen Qiqi went to the Ministry of Rites, Tan Shaofei was also tracking down the number and origin of various goods, as well as tracking down whether the person who delivered the goods made a mistake halfway, he hadn't gone home for a long time, he was in the courtroom, and a circle of beard grew on his chin and lips, he saw Shen Qiqi coming, he was not as sincere and frightened as Jiang Wenxuan, he had a clear conscience, and he spoke very loudly to Shen Qiqi."
The eldest princess of Qiyu, the Ministry of Rites has thoroughly investigated half of it, and there is no mistake found for the time being, and there is still the remaining half, the minister will find out as soon as possible, the minister has been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for ten years, and it has always been the household department that pulls out the silver, and we will do things according to the silver, there is absolutely no corruption at all, please the eldest princess to investigate."
Tan Shaofei is neither humble nor arrogant when he speaks, especially he has always felt that he is not wrong, and he will not let Shen Qiqi grab the handle, his eyes look directly at Shen Qiqi, Shen Qiqi thought of Tan Yuqiu through his eyes, the woman who looks average, but has ambition and desire, she and Tan Shaofei have little similarity."
Just give me the list of goods."
Shen Qiqi pondered for a while and put forward his request, Tan Shaofei was a little surprised, originally thought that Shen Qiqi would keep asking when he came here, but Shen Qiqi's expression was very calm, she had already made a conclusion in her heart, in the final analysis, there was no money, and there were too many repair projects.Most of the accounts I saw in the household department just now were repair projects, and she felt that there was little hope for finding problems in the Ministry of Rites, Tan Shaofei's reputation was not bad, but his family background was not good, and the clothes on his body were all ordinary materials, and they were all yellow."
Eldest princess, here is a list of goods, as well as a list of those responsible."
Tan Shaofei handled everything comprehensively, not only gave Shen Qiqi the list of goods, but also the list of responsible officials, Shen Qiqi was in a heavy mood, she realized that whether it was the household department or the Ministry of Rites, there was no mistake, and the key was that the taxes were less and the money could not be paid.Tan Shaofei saw that Shen Qiqi left without saying anything after getting the list, he was ready for Shen Qiqi to ask for guilt, and he didn't want Shen Qiqi to leave without even saying a few words, it was really strange.Shen Qiqi returned to the Yuning Palace, and the things she got back from the household department and the ritual department were spread on the table, as a high-achieving student, she quickly saw the accounts and lists clearly, most of them were used in the name of repair, and most of them were allocated money to the Ministry of Industry, she wanted to figure out the key to Chen Shangshu, she was about to summon Chen Shangshu, Yue Ling came in with dinner, and her care for Shen Qiqi sometimes reminded Shen Qiqi of the hard-working old hen taking care of her naughty chick.Shen Qiqi's care for Yue Ling is also very useful, after all, it is better for someone to care about it than to ignore it, Yue Ling is still sincere, she doesn't want to eat anymore, she still picks a few pieces to eat, no matter what Yue Ling says, she can't eat it, Yue Ling is very worried: "Princess, if you don't eat again, I'm afraid that you will lose weight into a bamboo pole." ”"In this way, it's really a great way to lose weight, as long as there is something to think about, there is sorrow to complain about, people can't be fat, Yueling, I can't eat, even if I eat it, I can't digest it, it's better for you to wait until I'm really hungry to eat."
Shen Qiqi took Yue Ling's hand, half coquettish and half pleading, Yue Ling saw that Shen Qiqi was not joking, and she could only withdraw the dim sum.Shen Qiqi stared at the pile of accounts in a daze, her eyes staring directly at the accounts, as if she wanted to use them to find out the truth.() The eldest princess: Regent, ask for a hug
