Back at Prince Wu's Mansion, Tang Zhongling had a good heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Jun.

Unlike Guanyin Nu, who is a beautiful girl, Tang Zhongling's inner charm is not inferior to Guanyin Nu's at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Zhongling said: "Mr. Lang, I have something to ask you!"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Jun's anger was gone now and he was in a good mood.

Tang Zhongling talked about her sister's affairs, "Can you take your sister to Fengyang? Maybe it would be better if we are far apart. After all, it is not a problem for Liao Quan to come to the house every now and then."

Because of the reputation with the Liao family, it is impossible for the eldest brothers to drive Liao Quan away."

Zhu Jun frowned slightly. He didn't have a good impression of Tang Xiuling, but after all, the two of them were just good partners before.

Now Tang Zhongling was well-behaved and considerate, and he liked her very much, so he said, "Okay, but I don't know if your father agrees."

"As long as Mr. Lang agrees, I will convince them." Tang Zhongling was overjoyed and hurriedly kissed them.

At the same time, Hube.

Zhou Bin, the assistant minister of the headquarters, came here. Looking at the auditors who came here from all over the world, Zhou Bin said: "Your Majesty has decreed that tax audits in various places will be strictly investigated this year. If there are any errors, they must be reported."

He looked at everyone and was reminded that after the Guo Heng case, His Majesty was particularly concerned about this area.

If they were caught at this time, not only would they be in trouble, but even the household department would also suffer.

Shangshu Xie Si had already issued an order. There should not be any mistakes. Every account must be correct before the account books can be written off!

Hearing this, the various auditors who came to deliver the account books were also shocked, and they all understood what Zhou Bin meant.

Fang Keqin on the side was worried. Fengyang's fiscal deficit was the most terrifying thing. The accounts sent to the Ministry of Accounts could not be reconciled no matter what.

He gritted his teeth and found Zhou Bin alone. This Zhou Bin was from Min. To be precise, he was also close to the Zhejiang people.

"Shilang Zhou, I'm under the command of Fang Keqin, the prefect of Fengyang. If you have any questions, I would like to see you!" Fang Keqin bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

Zhou Bin looked Fang Keqin up and down. He knew that Fang Keqin was a fierce man who was dismissed and exiled but could still come back.

His Majesty originally wanted him to be appointed as an official in the capital. This guy said that there is no shortage of Fang Kaqin in the capital, and he immediately became famous all over the world.

Although he was later transferred to Fengyang as the prefect, that was Zhongdu.

The prefect of Zhongdu is similar to the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture, they are all one level above their peers.

"Oh, it turns out to be the prefect Fang, what's the matter?"

Fang Keqin cupped his hands and said: "Xiaguan got up again in May this year and went to Fengyang. Fengyang was hit by a disaster. The floods flooded all the early rice in many places this year.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, this year's harvest may be less than 30% of the usual amount. I looked through the accounts left by Prefect Xu An from last year and found that they were basically in deficit.

These are the accounts from last year to this year. I don’t know what the accounts at the Account Department are, I’m afraid the gap will be huge!”

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Fengyang is Zhongdu, and what happens in Zhongdu is a special case. Your Majesty has exempted the people of Zhongdu from paying taxes, but that does not mean that the entire Fengyang Mansion has been exempted from taxes.

Even if it is a disaster, it cannot cause the entire Fengyang Mansion to lose its harvest."

"Xu An misappropriated food, and the court's disaster relief efforts in recent years have caused severe food losses, so..."

Zhou Bin waved his hand and said, "Xu An is dead now. You can say whatever you want, but the accounts department's accounting is based on the number.

Magistrate Fang, you are also an old magistrate, you should know the rules.

Let's wait for the accounts from the accounts department.

It’ll be fine if you submit it then.”

Fang Keqin was a hedgehog, and Song Lian didn't even give him any face, and he caught His Majesty's eye again. He actually didn't like a 'serious person' like Fang Keqin, but it was better to do less than to do more.

"But, Minister Zhou, if it's so unclear, it's a bad debt!" Fang Keqin said.

Zhou Bin frowned, "Loss is a common thing. Fengyang suffered a serious disaster in the past two years. Many of the grains collected below were soaked in water or even washed away by the flood.

You must also know this. You can't let the food washed away by the flood come back safely, right?

I said, as long as the accounts can be reconciled, that's enough.

Nothing else matters!"

He has made it so clear whether Fang Kachin is sick, so what else should he do?

Can't you just leave the responsibility to Xu An for the mess Xu An left?

He is a dead man, why can't he take the blame?

Even if it's a fiscal deficit, as long as the accounts can be reconciled, that's fine.

How good can you expect it to be in a place that has been receiving relief from the imperial court all year round?

Fang Keqin frowned, "Although Xu An is dead, where is the deficit of the prefect's Yamen..."

"Okay, Magistrate Fang, I have other things to do here. If you don't have anything else to do, please come first!" Zhou Bin's expression also turned cold, and Fang Kaqin couldn't hear the good words from him.

Fang Keqin sighed and did not continue to pester Zhou Bin, "I will resign!"

After walking out of the door, Fang Keqin sighed. He held a deficit of hundreds of thousands of taels in his hand. He really didn't know what would happen if he reported this to the court.

The accounts department should be able to settle the accounts, but the losses are real.

In other words, when Xu An was here, he used some means to hide it from the court.

As a result, when he took over the bad debt, the problem became apparent.

If Fengyang is still the same as before, it will be nothing more than a salted fish, but now Fengyang is developing at a rapid pace, and nothing can escape the money.

He can't do anything to deceive others. If it's just a matter of loss, he won't have any psychological burden.

But this is no longer as simple as loss. Fengyang is very special, so special things need to be done.

He gritted his teeth and went directly to where Xies was.

"Thank you, Sir. Fang Keqin, the prefect of Fengyang, would like to see you!"

This Xie Si is a native of Yingtian Mansion and was once the magistrate of Jiading Prefecture in the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, so he is highly regarded by His Majesty.

"Why is he here?" Sheth frowned.

"I don't know, I just said there is something important!"

Xies didn't like Fang Keqin very much. He felt that Fang Keqin was too pretentious and unreliable.

It is difficult to survive in the imperial court without relying on anything.

Especially when His Majesty asked him to retain him as a Beijing official, he did not agree. In Xie Si's view, this man had a high self-esteem and was not a person to get along with.

Even those who seek fame and reputation.

"You said I was busy, but I haven't seen you!" He was holding a book in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, drinking it leisurely. Did he look at all busy?

"Yes, sir!"

The man hurried out and said to Fang Kaqin: "Prefect Fang, Shangshu Xie is busy. If you have anything to do, you can leave a note so that you can see it when you are done!"

Fang Keqin nodded helplessly and could only leave a note and leave.
