Chapter 209 It's finally a holiday
Chapter 209
Jiajing was very angry, but there was no way to make the court unable to run. He took out the money, and there was only 300,000 taels left. At this time, Zhang Hao also came over and looked at Jiajing's bag. There were hundreds of thousands of taels left. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, are you gone?"
"It's gone!" Jiajing said with a expressionless face. It's not that it's gone. Yesterday it was 1.8 million taels, but now there are just a few left.
"You are so spoiled!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"Why did I lose my family? What money did I spend?" Jiajing shouted at Zhang Hao depressedly.
"Yes, you are so prodigal!" Zhang Hao stood there, pointing at the ministers and said, "The ministers didn't speak."
"Okay, you're busy with your own things and let them find a way!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao didn't understand these things, and he didn't want Zhang Hao to quarrel with them.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue is obviously not good. Next year, we will focus on cleaning up the Ministry of Revenue and local officials, what does it look like!" Zhang Hao looked at those people with contempt, left after saying that, and continued to return to his position. Sitting down, Yang Jinshui immediately poured tea for Zhang Hao.
"It's still 1.8 million taels away, you guys will solve it yourself!" Jiajing said and turned around and left. Lu Ben and the others sat there. Look at me, I see you, how to solve it.
"Tell me about the money below, let it go, give it to them in the first month of next year, but now there is no money in the court!" Yan Song looked at Lu Ben and said.
"But it's OK, but I dare not delay this account, otherwise it will delay the work of the Ministry of Works next year!" Hu Song, the Minister of Works, immediately stared at the Ministry of Revenue and said.
"The Ministry of Revenue will settle the accounts for you in the first month of next year!" Sun Yingkui also stood there and spoke.
"Okay, let's delay for a month!" Hu Song nodded, and Hu Song nodded, and the other ministers had no choice but to nod.
Then they looked at Jiajing.
"You can do it yourself!" Jiajing waved his hand and said, not wanting to talk to them, spending more than 10 million a year. Jiajing thought that it might actually cost less than 5 million taels. In previous years, 600 million taels were enough to spend, so why is it not enough to spend now?
It was even said that 5 million taels were enough to spend some years ago, but why wasn't it enough to spend now? There were disasters and wars in the past few years, but now, the vacancy is getting bigger and bigger. Soon, the Shangshu left, leaving only three cabinet masters. Jiajing left them, but Jiajing didn't know what to say for a moment, but there was anger in his stomach anyway.
"Your Majesty, we will handle the deficits well. Don't worry!" Lu Ben saw Jiajing without saying anything, and immediately bowed his hand and said.
"In recent years, the Ministry of Revenue has been spending more and more, and I can't see what I do. Do you have any reviews in your cabinet?" Jiajing sat there and asked.
"Your Majesty, we will review and prepare to investigate officials across the country!" Yan Song immediately bowed and said.
"Okay!" Jiajing nodded. Jiajing thought for a while, then said, "Can anyone choose the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
"This?" When they heard this, they immediately looked at each other. They were already Sun Yingkui, but they didn't expect that Jiajing actually asked them to choose people.
"The Ministry of Revenue is in chaos now. Does Sun Yingkui have the ability? In addition, he arrested the prefects this time, but the Ministry of Revenue did not touch anyone. I want to know, are the officials of the Ministry of Revenue so clean?" Jiajing stared at them and asked.
"Your Majesty, you still need the prefects to speak now. If they don't speak, we will have no way to investigate. Now the Ministry of Justice is also interrogating them every day, but they are just saying that they are wronged. Moreover, many ministers have complained about their memorials these days, and now the cabinet has suppressed these memorials!" Lu Ben immediately bowed to Jiajing and said.
After hearing this, Jiajing nodded irritably and signaled them to leave.
The three of them bowed to Jiajing and went out. After leaving the alchemy room, the three of them sighed at the same time. It would be impossible not to sigh. There was really no way. Now it was time for them to investigate the prefects.
"Don't hide it, you should clean it up. If you don't clean it up, how can you pass this level?" Xu Jie looked at them and started talking.
"It's time to clean it up!" Yan Song also sighed, and the three of them left Yuxi Palace helplessly.
There is nothing to do next. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Just arrange people on duty in the court, and holidays are beginning to begin.
Zhang Hao also announced at the soap workshop that the New Year's 28th holiday was on. At the same time, after the holiday, no one had the benefits for the New Year. Zhang Hao ordered people to purchase a large amount of pork, chicken, duck, fish, etc. Anyway, everything was ready and distributed during the New Year.
It was the 28th day of the Chinese New Year, and Zhang Hao's workshop was on holiday, and now there is no curfew at night. A large number of people go shopping at night. Before, there was a curfew at night, but now there is no curfew. People will go out for a walk and look at the lanterns at night.
Moreover, those wealthy families spend money to buy some lanterns and put them on the streets to light them. For example, Zhang Hao's mother spent money to buy more than 300 lanterns and put them on the streets.
And Zhang Hao was lying on the table at this moment, bored and had nothing to do.
Jiajing also saw Zhang Hao like this.
"Zhang Manzi, come here!" Jiajing sat on it and shouted.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Hao didn't want to move.
"Come here, good thing!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and shouted. Zhang Hao stood up helplessly and walked slowly to Jiajing.
"Tonight starts, you have a holiday. Come on the evening of the seventh day of the lunar month. Come out with me on the morning of the eighth day of the lunar month. After going out, continue the holiday. You have to get married on the ninth day of the lunar month. Come on duty after the Lantern Festival, okay?" Jiajing said with a smile as he looked at Zhang Hao.
"No!" Zhang Hao said without thinking.
When Jiajing heard this, he was stunned for a moment. No? He gave him a vacation and said no.
"My parents said that we must protect the emperor's safety and we must not be plotted by those little ones!" Zhang Hao stood there and spoke.
When Jiajing heard this, his heart felt warm, and then smiled and said to Zhang Hao, "It's okay, I'll let Liu Yunhai, Yu Min and the others come here to pay the time. You go to rest. Are you not at ease with the Jinyiwei in the palace?"
"That's not OK. I'm going to sleep here anyway!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said.
"That's it. This is my will. You don't let me issue an imperial edict to you. Go quickly, I'll go now, it's almost dark!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao immediately.
"How much is the fine for disobeying the imperial edict?" Zhang Hao thought about it and asked.
"500,000 taels!" Jiajing immediately scared Zhang Hao and said.
"Your Majesty, why are the cost of defiance here getting higher and higher?" Zhang Hao was displeased when he heard this and said to Jiajing.
"Get out, get out quickly!" Jiajing shouted at Zhang Hao.
"Okay, be careful yourself. I'll come over if I'm fine!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing when he heard this. Jiajing also waved his hand to Zhang Hao and signaled him to leave quickly.
Zhang Hao had no choice but to leave, while Jiajing sat there and smiled.
"Your Majesty, don't read the memorials, take a break!" Lu Fang came over and persuaded Jiajing.
"Well, take a break, this kid!" Jiajing said with emotion.
"This kid is honest and thinks about everything for you, the emperor. He is obviously bored here and could have something to do before, but now he has nothing to do!" Lu Fang also said to Jiajing.
"Well, it's a pity that I can't see him get married! I hope this child will be fine at that time!" Jiajing continued to say with emotion, and Lu Fang nodded,
After Zhang Hao returned home, he still felt bored and didn't have to worry about the family's affairs. Anyway, his parents have done everything.
"Young Master, are you in a daze again?" Jin'er saw Zhang Hao lying on the table and asked.
"Well, I'm dazed, how are you?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile as he looked at Jin'er.
"I'm very good. The lady sent me four maids to serve me. Young Master, you are bored, can you go to find the young lady? Now there is a curfew tonight. You can accompany the young lady out for a walk!" Jin'er stood there and said to Zhang Hao.
"Can she go out? Isn't she not going out until the door goes out?" Zhang Hao turned his head and looked at Jin'er and asked.
"Yes, why can't it be? As long as there is someone to accompany you, for example, if you don't go, she can follow his elder brother or his parents out!" Jin'er said to Zhang Hao.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he immediately stood up and said to Jin'er: "Do you go?"
"I dare not go, my wife won't let you!" Jin'er immediately shook her head and said.
"Okay, then I'll leave!" Zhang Hao said to Jin'er.
"Young Master, bring money!"
"I have money, I'm a lot!" Zhang Hao ran away without looking back, while Jin'er laughed.
On Xu Shiyun's boudoir, Xu Shiyun had just met two sisters, and they invited Xu Shiyun to play together at night. They were accompanied by their elder brothers, but their elder brothers went out with their sisters-in-law and didn't take him with him. Now their parents are busy with the New Year and cannot get out.
"Master, Master! The son-in-law is here!" At this time, in Xu Jie's study, the housekeeper went to Xu Jie's study and said to Xu Jie.
"Well, hurry up, please invite me!" Xu Jie immediately put down the books, stood up and said, soon, Zhang Hao arrived at the living room.
"I've seen it, yes, father-in-law!" Zhang Hao originally wanted to call Mr. Xu, but when he thought he would get married in more than ten days, forget it, don't worry.
"Well, come on, sit down and say, there is no meal yet. I just told your mother-in-law that I will use dinner later. Your mother-in-law told the chef to make a few more dishes!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao with a smile, now he has to curry favor with this son-in-law.
