Lin Bai naturally couldn't make money, but as long as he had the power, there were many ways to make money.
He was wondering which one would be suitable.
It's not impossible to check the accounts, but I feel like I'm being plotted by Lao Zhu.
Moreover, instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, Xiao Qi is helping her to repair her house. She can't make it difficult for Xiao Qi. It really drags Yang Guozhong into trouble. How can Xiao Qi face his family?
However, some people are different. They always cause trouble for themselves and must be thoroughly investigated.
"Master Han, are you ready?"
At this time, Han Sanqian had already sorted out the account books and filled half the room. He said, "Not bad! All the account books are here. Master Lin, please check them slowly!"
As he spoke, he snorted coldly and prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Lin Bai said: "Please, Mr. Han, please find out the part that you are responsible for. I will investigate it myself. Thank you!"
Han Sanqian:...
The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he almost cursed.
With so many ledgers, asking him to pick out the ones he was responsible for, wasn't this intentional to tease people?
And you have to check your own separately. What do you mean?
His teeth chattered, but he had no choice but to endure it, because the Holy Order was amazing.
"Mr. Lin, the other ledgers..."
an official asked.
"Check it! I am here to check the accounts according to the order. Of course I have to check them. Check them all carefully for me, one by one..."
Everyone's faces became even more ugly when they heard this.
But there is no choice but to check!
At the same time, news of the accounts audit by the Ministry of Accounts spread quickly, and people were panicked.
Check the accounts directly as soon as you go, this is going to be a big fight!
Everyone feels that something is wrong. If there is a problem with the Account Department's accounts, it is naturally not just the Account Department's problem.
For example, if the Ministry of Industry wants money and a certain project is approved in large quantities but in small quantities, it is naturally impossible for the Ministry of Household Affairs to get it all, and all parties can get some benefit.
If we really wanted to investigate, at least half of the officials would be able to find something wrong.
This problem might not even be considered a big deal in ordinary times.
But His Majesty wants money now, so it’s hard to say, so...
"This Lin Qingfeng is really bold. He didn't spare any mercy and just investigated as he asked. This prince thought he would take some care of it. After all, one is the uncle of the seventh princess, the other is the brother of the seventh princess, and the queen is the queen. .”
Zhu Tai received the news immediately, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"As a scholar, he naturally wants to do something big when he first enters the officialdom. Your Majesty has given him such a good opportunity, so he naturally wants it."
Fan Renli, the official minister, smiled and said.
"good!"
Zhu Tai nodded, "This is also a good opportunity for us. The Fourth Brother has always dominated the household department. This time we must uproot them."
Fan Renli shook his head, "No!"
Zhu Tai asked in confusion: "Why?"
Fan Renli said: "Your Majesty's original intention is not to deal with the Yang family, nor is it to target the fourth prince. He is just for money. It is not good to use too much force."
"With the queen and the fourth prince here, even if there is something wrong with the Yang family, His Majesty will turn a blind eye, so it is enough to vacate that position."
Zhu Tai nodded, "Uncle has thought carefully, so what should we do?"
Fan Renli smiled and said, "Your Highness is already ready!"
Zhu Tai smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
Fan Renli said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about it. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. The court is like a chessboard. If you can use a pawn to defeat the opponent's rook, why not do it?"
"But there are some things that you don't necessarily need to do yourself."
…
Household Department.
All officials are busy.
Han Sanqian was also very tired. After working for almost a day, he finally sorted out the account books that Lin Bai asked for.
But then he discovered that a certain talented man had fallen asleep leaning on the chair. He still smelled good, and there was crystal liquid flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
Han Sanqian was so angry that his mouth twitched and he threw the account book on the table with a bang. Lin Bai reluctantly opened his eyes.
"Mr. Lin, everything you want is here, just check it out!"
"Okay! I understand. It's getting late. Let's see tomorrow."
Lin Bai stretched and then walked away swaggeringly.
The crowd looked at each other.
Is this the end?
I came here to take a nap in the middle of the day and ran away without even glancing at the account book.
Is there such an audit? What clues can this reveal?
Naturally, Lin Bai was not prepared to investigate the famous places. There were so many account books and they had to be investigated in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. There was no leisure. The emperor's second son only wanted money. If he gave the money when the time came, he would just arrest the ones he didn't like and that would be the end of it.
What? evidence?
If your home is confiscated, you will be fine.
If you copy the little salary from the imperial court, no one will be wronged.
Auditing the accounts is just a show, the key is money.
When I got home, the Rice King suddenly came to me excitedly, "Brother-in-law! What a happy event!"
"What's wrong?"
Lin Bai looked confused.
Xu Da mysteriously took out a ledger from his pocket and said, "This is the private ledger of that old fox Han Sanqian."
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you get it?"
"Hehe! It was given to me by Uncle Chang Shan's Mansion, and it was said that it was Han Sanqian's concubine who made it. Anyway, it's fine. It's all evidence of Han Sanqian's crime."
Lin Bai flipped through it and found that it was really a private ledger, "Xiao Dazi, tell me, does Qing'an Prince's Mansion support the second prince?"
Although Xu Da was careless, he was not stupid. He said quickly: "No, dad doesn't support anyone. It's just that we are all disciples of nobles and we are closer to each other."
"Uncle Chang Shan's Mansion does support the second prince, but no matter who he supports, as long as the account book is useful to my brother-in-law, it's all over."
That’s the truth!
Lin Bai nodded. The reason why he asked was because he was afraid that the Xu family would be involved. Since it wasn't the case, it didn't matter.
However, the struggle behind this was indeed fierce enough. There was no need to check the accounts, and someone came directly to the door.
Good!
It's even simpler this way.
…
Night, Imperial Study Room.
After Zhu Tianzheng finished correcting the memorial, he stretched his muscles, thought for a while and asked, "How is the situation at the Ministry of Finance?"
Eunuch Cao said: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has already started to check the accounts."
"Um!"
Zhu Tianzheng nodded, "It's pretty fast, but is there any progress?"
Eunuch Cao hesitated when he heard this.
Zhu Tianzheng said displeased: "What's wrong? You're hesitant."
Eunuch Cao did not dare to neglect, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, although Mr. Lin ordered an audit of the accounts, he asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue to conduct self-examination. Such an inspection may not find any problems. Maybe Mr. Lin has never been exposed to these things..."
"You think he doesn't understand? He is a great talent, how can he not understand this thing?"
Zhu Tianzheng's face was gloomy and he snorted: "I think he doesn't want to investigate. This is simply unreasonable."
Eunuch Cao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Mr. Lin has just entered the officialdom after all. Why don't I give you a reminder?"
"No need!"
Zhu Tianzheng hummed, "Just pass on my instructions, three days, I must see the silver within three days, otherwise I will make him look good."
…
Some people died, but not completely...
