Yang Sichang led all the senior officials and officers to the gate of the camp to welcome the imperial envoy team. Looking at this team, he transported so much silver.

Everyone was so excited that they thought they should live a fat year.

Before we knew it, it was already the Spring Festival of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and it was almost the year of Wuyin.

Because this year, many things have happened continuously, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in the north and Shandong.

Jiangnan also has the same feeling as the sky collapses in the earth, so many people are stunned and worried by the situation in front of them, and almost no one is willing to celebrate the New Year.

It’s just that someone occasionally realizes that the Spring Festival this year may not be a good time.

The Ming Dynasty is now in a chaotic world, and the people are very worried about this. The lives of people in a chaotic world are as cheap as grass.

Even these soldiers and officers and soldiers were worried and afraid, because everyone understood that in troubled times, they were the whetstones of generals and famous generals, and also the flesh and blood mills of soldiers. I don’t know how many people could live until the Spring Festival of the twelve years of Chongzhen!

The imperial team transported this large number of silver into the camp in a mighty manner. Because the other party came with the imperial edict, Yang Sichang greeted him outside the military camp.

If it were the past, welcoming the imperial edict was an extraordinary event, and many people would have to respect and respect it.

But they are different. This imperial edict is just a form. What everyone really cares about is the money and food rewarded by the emperor.

Seeing all this, Xu Jianqiang shook his head secretly, not expecting that the majesty of imperial power would have disappeared.

When the court loses its majesty, it is time for chaos in the world.

People say that when a country is about to perish, there must be a monster. They don’t know who this monster is, and they don’t know who is Hui in the court?

Yang Sichang was always happy and full of joy. He thought that the emperor had finally solved the most difficult and difficult problem for him. After solving this problem, he could let go and do something to let others know about his ability of Yang Xuchang.

However, when the official of the Ministry of Revenue asked him to count the money, he asked him to sign for 500,000 taels of silver first and then count it. He knew that there must be something wrong with this.

Officials in the court had to pluck their hair by geese and pluck their eggs by 10% of them. This has become a common practice, but this is the life-saving food of more than 100,000 troops, and it depends on the money to support the future of the Ming Dynasty. These people actually reached out to their hands?

To put it bluntly, even a rich man robs the beggar’s job. Yang Sichang was thinking that the other party was so bad that he could only draw 10% or 20% at most. He could still accept it.

After all, this has become a routine. If these big guys don’t share the benefits, who would say good things for you?

But his accounting firmly-made abacus hurriedly told him that he must not sign for it!

The silver here is only 250,000 taels at most.

Yang Sichang's account is called Iron Abacus, nicknamed Golden Eye. He is an old accountant for decades. He calculates the calculation and money very clearly. It is said that if a ingot of silver comes to him, he will know how much it is, and there is no need to mention it at all.

A car passed by the ground and only looked at the marks on the ground, he knew how much silver was on the car. Yang Sichang had always handed over his account to this master to take charge. Although he had no money, he had always managed it very well, clearly and well organized, and without a single account, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Tie Abacus hurriedly told Yang Sichang that he naturally wanted to not sign for it. If once the signing and acceptance is signed, the other party will not admit it, and the only thing he will give you is 500,000 taels of silver, then he will not be able to explain it clearly.

Yang Sichang had no choice but to bow to the other party, and he said, "Five hundred thousand taels are not a small amount. Let me arrange for someone to count them and confirm that it is correct and sign for it."

As Yang Sichang said this, Gao Dushu's face sank. He said, "If you don't believe me, I can't wait? We counted the money from the treasury. The whole process was not separated by half a step. How could there be less if there was no silver ingot left our sight? Do you don't trust me at all? If you don't trust me, don't forget this money."

The other party's words made Yang Sichang blush and he didn't know how to speak for a while. Yang Sichang's articles were outstanding, but if he was asked to quarrel with others, he was really no match. Yang Sichang has never been a good person at sophistry.

Yang Sichang knew one thing. Tear Abacus told him like this, there must be something wrong with it. If he doesn't obey and step in, he will probably step into the pit. The other party's attitude is very clear. You either take it away or they will pull it away, and he will not be able to get out of the market when he sees it.

Just when Yang Sichang was very embarrassed and could not get out of Taiwan, Xu Jianqiang suddenly intervened. He said, "The ancients said: Brothers, settle accounts clearly, make money, count them in person, and do not take responsibility if you leave Taiwan. This is the industry rule. There is no question of trust or distrust. Doubt or doubt, just check it in person."

Xu Jianqiang said this, which was equivalent to giving Yang Sichang a donkey slope. He was very happy and bowed to the other party. He said, "That's true, it's not about trusting or not, it's just a look at it in person."

Gao Dushu was sweating coldly. He knew how much money he had. He also thought that the other party should be an informed and tactful person. He was like a fool, insisting on clarifying it in person, and still insisting on being unwilling to give up.

Gao Dushu said to Yang Sichang: "Mr. Yang, let me speak with you."

He took this step to tell the other party how the money was divided and how many big bosses were divided and how many big bosses were. If you were unwilling to give up, you would be against these big bosses. Do you still want to mess with the court?

Of course, these cannot be said publicly, so that the other party knows how many bigwigs you have gained from it. With Yang Sichang's ability, he dared not do anything, and could only suffer the loss.

Yang Sichang is still very familiar with the Waiwai Dao in the officialdom. He feels embarrassed when the other party says this, just to threaten him privately. If he accepts the threat, these soldiers will not agree. If he refuses to forgive him, the other party will take out these big bosses and kill him, Yang Sichang, which will make him in a dilemma.

At this time, the eunuch Xu Jianqiang, who had never expected, sneered again, and said, "Why do you need to speak further? What can't be seen?"

Gao Dushu saw that the eunuch Xu Jianqiang was always resolute and always targeted him. He seemed very unhappy. He said coldly: "Empress Xu, what does it have to do with you."

The eunuchs in the court are very unpopular, very powerless, and have no status. In the eyes of these civil officials, they are like slaves. Even their eunuch leader Wang Chengen dared not speak loudly in front of these civil officials, let alone a new admiral from the East Factory who was not in tune with him.

If it were normal, Gao Dushu would still care about the decency of officials in the officialdom and would not scold the other party loudly, but the other party was unwilling to give up on him, making him unable to step down, so he would have to make a fool of himself in public, so he would severely denounce the other party.

Xu Jianqiang came today just to make trouble, so he would definitely not be backed off by the other party's words. He said, "Is it because you did something shameful? To put it bluntly, this 500,000 taels of silver is not enough. If you are afraid of others, you will make a fool of yourself, right?"

Gao Dushu's face changed drastically. He shook his sleeves and said, "What is my identity? I am too lazy to talk to a shameless eunuch like you."

Gao Dushu is definitely not a fool. After saying this, he knew that the other party was deliberately causing trouble, but he was not afraid of these eunuchs and the lackeys of the East Factory. If I don’t dump you, what else can you do to me?

In the past, the Dongchang and Jinyiwei wanted to arrest these officials and ministers in the court, and they were arrested as soon as they were said to be captured. However, in the past few decades, they were dealt with by the ministers in the court. They were attacked by the entire court, repaired and rectified. Even the Jinyiwei and Dongchang wanted to arrest these officials. Without a letter, they would never be allowed to arrest people, otherwise it would be illegal and the entire officialdom would resist.

And this driver's post is not something they can send, but must be signed and printed by the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate.

It can be said that the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate will never sign.

Of course, this is only aimed at officials and scholars. If they are ordinary people, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will arrest them as soon as possible. They really turned a blind eye. They are the emperor's lackeys and minions, and they still have certain prestige and power.

It is because of this that these officials are not afraid of the people from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

After Gao Dushu was upset, he just shook his hands and didn't miss the other person. His attitude was very obvious. I was too lazy to talk to you. See what you can do to me?

Of course he was also afraid of being investigated, but he had nothing to be afraid of. After all, although he was the leader and took the big head, the money was distributed to many officials and big bosses in the court. Even Xu Jianqiang got 10,000 taels. Can he still arrest himself?

If we want to investigate this matter, half of the officials of the court will be found and half of the court will be paralyzed. I guess even if the emperor investigates it, he will not dare to investigate it, but will leave it alone.

Who knew that Xu Jianqiang was just reluctant to let go. He looked at the other party and sneered. He said, "You must explain what happened today in person and point the money clearly, otherwise no one is allowed to leave."
