Chapter 60 Inner Money

In order to win the favor of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo really spent a lot of money this time!

He forcefully gave all the food and money he had saved during this period to Emperor Wanli.

Now in the heart of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo is simply a god-level good son!

Emperor Wanli heard that Wang An said there was a way to resettle the refugees, and he became interested.

Emperor Wanli asked: "What method?"

Wang An recalled what Zhu Changluo told him. Wang An said: "Your Majesty, the Xishan Coal Mine has only been in operation for less than a month. The mining of coal mines and the manufacture of briquettes cannot keep up with the needs of the people in the capital. So I want to

Instead of settling all these victims in Xishan, let them work for relief. The Xishan Coal Mine will prepare accommodation, food and wages for them, and at the same time control their movement to prevent them from causing trouble and chaos inside and outside the capital."

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he thought this was a wonderful idea!

Xishan Huangzhuang now has 300,000 shi of food. The refugees will definitely not be able to survive in Xishan. If we follow Wang An's advice and let them work for the Xishan coal mine in exchange for relief, this will also solve the problem of public security in the capital.

Pressure. This is simply killing three birds with one stone!

Emperor Wanli praised Wang An and said, "I have never seen you so excited before. Once this is done, I will make an exception and promote you to the position of Chief of Ceremonies and Eunuch."

After Wang An heard Emperor Wanli's promise, his body trembled with excitement. Although he was just a eunuch, not a eunuch, but he was superior to others as a ceremonial eunuch!

"Slave, thank you for your grace."

Emperor Wanli said: "Then go ahead and do it."

Wang An was excited and then carefully stepped back from Qianqing Palace.

Wang An went to Jingyang Palace to look for Zhu Changluo. When Wang An saw Zhu Changluo, he immediately knelt down in the cold snow and paid homage.

"I thank my master for the kindness of reincarnating me."

Zhu Changluo said: "Get up, the ground is so cold."

Wang An stood up quickly, then bent down beside Zhu Changluo and said with a smile: "The slave's heart is warm. If he can be by the master's side, the slave will not be cold."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "You are really good at talking."

Wang An followed Zhu Changluo step by step and asked in a low voice: "What will I do next?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Of course we should gather the refugees and don't let them freeze to death in the capital. At the same time, we should strengthen the management of the Xishan Palace. Anyone who crawls in and out, eats from the bowl and looks at the pot, you have to be the first.

Time nip them in the bud.”

Wang An replied: "Yes, I have remembered it."

Then Zhu Changluo patted Wang An's lowered shoulder and said, "Do it well and I won't treat you badly. I will also ask Wei Zhongxian to help you properly."

Wang An felt excited, and he understood what Zhu Changluo meant.

Zhu Changluo's intention was to let him stay in peace and not to have his own thoughts after listening to Emperor Wanli's words, otherwise Wei Zhongxian would replace him at any time.

Since Wei Zhongxian became Zhu Changluo's personal eunuch, Wang An's sense of crisis has never disappeared, so he has been doing his best to do his job and trying to prove his worth to Zhu Changluo.

In fact, he did a good job in this area, and Zhu Changluo did not treat him badly. Zhu Changluo also delegated a lot of power to him, and now almost everything in Xishan Huangzhuang and Xishan Coal Mine is done by him.

Moreover, Zhu Changluo also took credit for this achievement for free. Only then did Emperor Wanli have the opportunity to summon him and praise and promise him.

He was really a little arrogant at first, but now that Zhu Changluo took a shot, he instantly understood his identity and knew that everything he had now was given by Zhu Changluo. Therefore, he immediately put away the ambition in his heart.

Stop thinking about those baseless dreams.

Only by following Zhu Changluo, always positioning himself, and being loyal to a master is his ultimate way out.

After Wang An listened to Zhu Changluo's teachings, he returned to Xishan Huangzhuang without stopping.

Time waits for no one now. We can't delay it any longer, otherwise we will really freeze to death. When the responsibility starts to kick around, he will definitely be blamed. Who knows that he has already made an idea in front of Emperor Wanli and wants to take it back?

What about these 30,000 refugees? What a surprise. According to the behavior of those civil servants and officials, they will definitely take all the responsibility on them and make them unable to bear the consequences.

After the cabinet had just received fifty thousand taels from Emperor Wanli's internal funds, the entire Wenyuan Pavilion was filled with joy.

The Minister of Hubu and the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture were all waiting in the cabinet as if they were celebrating the New Year.

When Song Xun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, learned that fifty thousand taels had come out of the internal funds, he went to the cabinet as soon as possible.

Seeing Shen Shixing and other cabinet elders from the three cabinets, Song Xun immediately said: "Yuanfu, two cabinet elders. When will the 50,000 taels of silver allocated by the emperor be put into the treasury?"

When Shuntian Fuyi heard Song Xun's words, he felt something was wrong.

Shuntian Prefecture Yi immediately said: "What does Songbu Tang mean? The emperor's money is obviously allocated to Shuntian Prefecture to help the refugees."

Song Xun was unhappy when he heard this.

Song Xun said: "The emperor wants to use this money to help the refugees, but this money must first be paid into the Ministry of Household Affairs and then be spent by the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is in line with the rules of the court!"

Yi of Shuntian Prefecture looked at Song Xun and snorted: "Can you still pay it when we get to your household department? I heard that hundreds of officials from the capital are surrounding your household department asking for their salary for the New Year. When we get to your household department, this money is

If you beat a dog with a meat bun, you will never come back!"

Song Xun said angrily: "Nonsense! I, Song Xun, have always dealt with official business. You are slandering this department!"

Shuntian Mansion Yi said: "Songbu Hall is of course responsible for official business, but what about the assistant ministers and registrars below you? I cannot trust their conduct. So this money must go directly to Shuntian Mansion!"

Shen Shixing's head hurt from the quarrel between the two of them. When he got rich, instead of thinking about how to help the refugees outside the city, he instead argued about whose Yamen the money should go to? This was really eye-opening!

Shen Shixing said angrily: "That's enough!"

Shen Shixing's eyes glanced at Song Xun and Shuntian Fu Yi. Shen Shixing said: "This money was taken out of the emperor's internal funds to help the refugees. Don't have any wrong ideas, either of you. This money will be provided by the cabinet.

Keep it and use it for special purposes. Make sure that every tael of silver is spent on the refugees. Don’t talk about any rules here. If the refugees outside freeze to death, you two will take off your hats and wait for the review of the Three Laws Division.

Bar."

Neither Song Xun nor Shuntian Fuyi expected that the good old Shen Shixing would burst out with such momentum, which really shocked them both.

Then, the two of them obeyed the order and immediately went to make arrangements for the refugees outside the city.

When the officials in the Inspectorate heard that Emperor Wanli had provided 50,000 taels of internal funds to help the refugees, the first thing they thought of was to mobilize all their forces to focus on the Ministry of Revenue, Shuntian Mansion and the cabinet. As long as they do something, oh no
