"What? Three days?"
The next day, when Lin Bai learned about the oral instruction, he felt bad.
This Lao Zhu is really crazy about money.
Five million taels, three days!
Although I have a way to make money, this is too urgent! In such a short period of time, what else can be done besides ransacking the house? This is forcing me to confiscate my home!
have to! You are the emperor and you are awesome.
All the officials from the Ministry of Revenue also learned the news at this time, and they were all trembling with fear.
"What should I do now?"
Everyone was a little confused.
The same goes for Han Sanqian, but he is relatively calm on the surface because he has the Third Prince on his back, and he also understands one thing: His Majesty wants money, and there is a lot of it, so the target above him is a big fish.
They are just small fish and shrimps at best and cannot satisfy His Majesty at all.
What's more, to arrest someone, you always need evidence. The talented man hasn't even read the ledger. How about arresting someone? hehe!
Just when he looked disdainful, Lin Bai came over.
For some reason, Han Sanqian suddenly had a bad feeling, but he still managed to stay calm.
Lin Bai smiled, took out a list and handed it over, saying: "Master Han, please find these people to talk to."
Han Sanqian didn't know why, so he took a look at the list.
The next moment, his face instantly turned pale, because all the officials on the list were people who had had beneficial dealings with him.
impossible! How does the other party know this?
Is it a coincidence?
At this moment, Han Sanqian couldn't hold back any longer, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lin Bai exclaimed: "Master Han is very hot! As soon as possible, His Majesty only gave me three days. If the errand cannot be done, Your Majesty will blame me. Then I will have no choice but to blame Master Han."
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
Han Sanqian felt itchy with hatred.
But at this time, he really had no choice. He was scared and confused. The fear was that he was worried about what the other party had found, and the doubt was that since the other party knew this, why didn't he just arrest him?
What's the point? Is it just suspicion, there is no evidence yet, and you want to find out the reason from these people?
correct! That must be it.
Innocent!
These officials also have problems, how could they say that.
Han Sanqian secretly encouraged himself. To be on the safe side, he still sent the news out, hoping to seek the protection of the third prince.
When Zhu Tai received the news, he was also full of doubts.
"Strange, why doesn't he arrest people directly?"
Fan Renli thought for a while, "Maybe he thinks these fish are not big enough. It is true that even if these people copy them, they won't be enough to fill the holes in the east of the river."
Zhu Tai said: "Does he want to use these people as a breakthrough?"
Fan Renli nodded, "Nine times out of ten."
After thinking about it, he asked again: "Who are the people in Han Sanqian's account book? Are there any big fish?"
Zhu Tai replied: "There are all kinds of people, including our people, the second, fourth, and big fish. As long as he checks the account books carefully, he will definitely find something."
"Then there's nothing to worry about."
Fan Renli smiled and said: "Your Majesty only gave him three days. I guess he is not interested in these small fish and shrimps. He might promise them something, just to get them to give up the big fish."
Zhu Tai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's right! That must be the case."
Fan Renli added: "In fact, no matter what, as long as His Majesty wants money, it will be beneficial to us if he goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Besides, with such a large amount of money, there is no excuse for not moving Yang Guozhong's position."
The two of them were full of confidence.
Because the result is already foreseeable. To put it bluntly, it is all money. Unless the Ministry of Revenue can get the money in other ways, it is already doomed.
But such a large sum of money is simply impossible, unless...
"Mr. Lin, your letter."
At the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lin Bai was thinking about how to confiscate his home, when someone suddenly came to report it.
letter? Isn't it another account book?
He opened it and saw that it was sent by Xiaoqi, asking him to meet him.
This girl can't keep her temper anymore?
have to! Look at her attitude to determine whether you want to eat this soft meal.
Soon, when they arrived at the reserved private room of the restaurant, Zhu Ziyan was already waiting, and Bai Ling was also there. He greeted her with a fawning salute as soon as they met, "I've seen the consort before me."
He winked as he spoke, then closed the door and slipped out.
"Damn girl!"
Zhu Ziyan spat, her pretty face flushed slightly.
It’s over! It looks like this girl is determined. In this way, it will be even more difficult to confiscate the house. Is this girl really caught in the middle?
"Is it because of me that you don't want to offend your uncle or check the accounts?"
Zhu Ziyan was the first to speak, and then said: "Actually, it's not necessary. This is Father's order, and no one can disobey it."
His attitude was made clear as soon as he opened his mouth.
The soft rice didn't run away.
Lin Bai asked: "I don't care, uncle, but what about your four emperors and the empress? How do you face them?"
There was a flash of confusion in Zhu Ziyan's eyes, but she still said: "Since my father has decided on our marriage, we can do whatever we want. Mother will understand."
Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were firm.
Lin Bai had to sigh, talented men are really popular, and women in ancient times are also really good. Marry a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. Once you are determined, you are really recognized.
It's not like the future generations. If you want to live a good life, you must wear green on your head.
However, the more this girl behaved like this, the more Lin Bai couldn't bear it. He thought for a while and said, "Actually, what your Majesty wants is money, and you may not really want to check the accounts."
Zhu Ziyan hesitated for a moment and said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs can transfer up to three million taels, and it must be made up within a month, otherwise..."
Is this girl really planning to use money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to fill the hole?
You will make me want to ravage you.
Hold it, hold it!
Lin Bai glared at her and said, "You are stupid! Your Majesty will not know about such a huge transfer of money?"
"It is said outside that you brothers and sisters have mastered the entire Dali's wealth. How many people are watching, maybe someone is waiting for you to do this. Do you think His Majesty will have any ideas then?"
Zhu Ziyan naturally understood this, and it was precisely because of this that she had not participated in the battle for the prince and remained neutral.
But this time was different. She didn't want Lin Bai to be in trouble, because if it weren't for Lin Bai, she might have married into the Wu Dynasty.
"Actually, it's just about making money, there's no need to go to such trouble."
Zhu Ziyan asked: "Do you have any idea?"
Lin Bai replied: "What should the common people do if they have no money? It's just borrowing, and the court is the same. It issues some national debt and has the endorsement of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It's not a big problem, right?"
National debt?
Zhu Ziyan had never heard of these terms, but she understood the meaning and asked: "Are you planning to borrow money from ordinary people and businessmen?"
Lin Bai nodded, "That's pretty much what it means. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyan quickly shook her head and vetoed: "Absolutely not."
"Why?"
Lin Bai looked surprised.
As for being so decisive! It’s just issuing national bonds, isn’t it normal? A certain big country has issued an unknown number.
You don’t have to worry about anything, just live on debt, that’s it.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
