Chongzhen looked at Xiao Shangzi beside him and said, and Xiao Shangzi quickly put down the tea cup.
"Go back and tell the Ministry of Accounts to allocate some silver to Jin Yiwei. Just say it was me. If anyone has any objections, let them come to me directly."
Watching Zhu Si manage Jinyiwei so well and continue to develop like this. Suddenly I felt that Dongchang and Xichang didn't have much sense of existence.
With the money and food for the two factories, it is better to go all out to build a powerful Jinyiwei.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Originally, the Jinyiwei is a big tree. If we give more money and food, some people may say that when we grow stronger, it will be detrimental to Your Majesty. If such remarks appear, we Jinyiwei might as well not give up the money."
Zhu Si was very happy when he heard that the emperor was going to allocate money to Jin Yiwei. Due to the recruitment of troops and horses a while ago, Jin Yiwei had no money in its books and began to make ends meet. This money can simply meet their urgent needs.
"I don't want to give you any money. Don't worry. If anyone dares to object to my orders, I will settle them. Just go ahead and do it. I believe you."
Chongzhen looked at Zhu Si and smiled. He was indeed neither arrogant nor impatient. He only cared about the country. The more he looked like this, the more money he would allocate to Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Si also knew this a long time ago, so he played a hard-to-get game. Just as he thought, Chongzhen fell into his own plan.
"Okay, I've finished reading here. I'm going to visit the East Factory and the West Factory. If you're fine, would you like to follow me for a tour?"
Chongzhen directly interrupted Zhu Si and continued. He would not change the things he had decided easily. Seeing that the time was almost up, he got up and walked outside. When he walked to the door of the Jinyiwei headquarters, he watched Zhu Si send him off. He came out, turned around and asked him.
If Zhu Si has time, he can teach Dongchang and Xichang the management methods of Jinyiwei.
"I have time."
When he heard the emperor asked him to follow, he lowered his head and said with a smile on his lips.
"Then let's go to Dongchang. Dongchang is also an institution that has been established for a long time. Let's see how it is there."
Looking at Zhu Si with satisfaction, he then got on the carriage, while Zhu Si rode on the horse and walked in front of the carriage. Clear the way for the emperor's carriage.
Zhu Si, who was riding on the horse, was in a very good mood and had a smile on his face. He looked at Xiao Shangzi who was driving the carriage behind him and nodded.
Xiao Shangzi smiled and then retracted his smile.
Zhu Si had bribed Xiao Shangzi a long time ago, hoping that the latter would deliver news to him at the critical moment. The Suzi Cake stall was opened by his subordinates, and if there was any news, he would send it there.
Xiao Shangzi walked deliberately very slowly, giving Zhu Si enough time to arrange everything and let Chongzhen see the scene he had carefully prepared for him.
Unexpectedly, Chongzhen really believed it, and Zhu Si was also happy with his wit. I am also happy for Dongchang who was not prepared at all.
"Wei Zhongxian, let me see if you die this time. This is what will happen if you don't cooperate with me!"
The carriage stopped at the gate of the East Factory.
Chongzhen got off the carriage and saw only two people at the door. When he came to the East Factory, he found that everyone was very lazy, which was in sharp contrast to Jin Yiwei.
Everyone felt like they had nothing to do, and Chongzhen walked towards the Dongchang lobby angrily. All the people in Dongchang who saw Chongzhen knelt on the ground.
A eunuch from Dongchang saw the emperor coming and wanted to report to Wei Zhongxian. How could Zhu Si let others disturb him while watching the show? He pulled out his sword, flew out of the scabbard, and hit the eunuch directly. On his back, the latter fell to the ground in pain.
Seeing that a eunuch wanted to report, Chongzhen quickened his pace. The eunuch who wanted to report wanted to shout loudly. Chongzhen stepped on the eunuch's back, suppressing the latter's words.
Duang
Looking at the closed door, Chongzhen stood aside, and Zhu Si stepped forward and kicked the door open.
When the door was kicked open, Chongzhen and the others looked inside and found Wei Zhongxian counting money.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is here to see your Majesty."
Wei Zhongxian quickly put down the banknotes in his hand and knelt down towards Chongzhen.
"Master Wei, what are you doing?"
Chongzhen crossed Wei Zhongxian and sat where Wei Zhongxian was sitting just now. He picked up the banknotes on the table and asked him doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, this is it."
Wei Zhongxian's face was dripping with sweat. When he saw the emperor holding the banknote, he wanted to explain.
"Master Wei, the amount of these banknotes is not low, even if you can't earn it in your lifetime, right?"
How could Zhu Si ask Wei Zhongxian to explain? He quickly interrupted the other party and walked up to Wei Zhongxian to question.
"this is."
Seeing that Zhu Si was there, Wei Zhongxian understood that it must be him, and wanted to continue to explain.
"Okay! Wei Zhongxian! You really disappoint me!"
Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory, among the three, Chongzhen was most optimistic about the East Factory, and Wei Zhongxian was the person he trusted the most, so he handed this place over to him.
Looking at the huge number of banknotes in his hand, it was simply beyond the reach of the other party.
"Your Majesty, I learned these from Mr. Hu before. I also started growing corn and potatoes. I earned the money."
Wei Zhongxian knelt down and put his head on the ground and explained to the emperor.
"Hmph, Mr. Wei is really good at using sweet words. Do you think you can deceive Your Majesty like this?"
Xiao Shangzi, who had been silent until now, started to criticize Wei Zhongxian after getting the hint from Zhu Si's eyes.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that what I said is the truth."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Xiao Shangzi, but he didn't expect that the other party would want to attack him at this time. In his mind, he would think that he had never had any issues with the other party, and he didn't know why he was targeting him.
Seeing that Chongzhen's expression changed, he couldn't care about anything else. The top priority was to gain His Majesty's trust.
"Even if you earned the money from selling grain, at that time when refugees were everywhere in the city, His Majesty suffered from having no grain in his hands and was running around to raise it. Why didn't you take out the grain you had in your hands?"
Xiao Shangzi saw that Chongzhen was a little moved by Wei Zhongxian. After all, Wei Zhongxian had been with Chongzhen, and Chongzhen still knew Wei Zhongxian very well.
Of course it wouldn't work if this went on. He was acting like this in vain and continued to wink at Xiao Shangzi. Chongzhen would probably not listen to what he said, but Xiao Shangzi would still listen.
After hearing what Xiao Shangzi said, Chongzhen also realized that something was wrong. After being able to sell so much money, the amount of grain was definitely a lot, which could definitely solve the difficulties at that time.
He looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was in front of him, and wanted to hear what Wei Zhongxian could say.
"Your Majesty, this old slave has realized his mistake, please punish me!"
