There is no money in the private treasury, so you can use the treasury to borrow it!

Yinyou felt happy thinking about it, his eyes sparkled: "We can borrow a little and then do business, and we will pay back the principal when we make money."

Yinzhen nodded his head: "Yes, yes, yes."

Isn't what Brother Seven said was his idea!Yinzhen said happily: "Let's go to the streets later to see what there is to do, and then we can use the shop!"

Yinyou thinks it's great.

He nodded again and again: "Not bad!"

Not a bad fart! ?

Isn't this just an empty glove white wolf?

Prince Yinreng was stunned by the dialogue of his younger brothers.

His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise Yinyou, who is usually well-behaved, sensible and obedient, would suddenly drop such a big thunder?

Yinzhen also felt that there was something wrong with his ears.

Of course, the treasury borrowing matter is of great importance, but the situation is not stable now, and the officials are not so unscrupulous. It is too difficult to persuade Khan Ama to check the treasury borrowing when the treasury is full.

No matter how dissatisfied Yinzhen is with corrupt officials, he can only start from other places.It can make Prince Yinreng aware of the moths around him, and he has a strong interest in rectifying the administration of officials. Yinzhen already feels that he is making good progress.

As for starting from the private treasury, there is also the idea of ​​fighting cattle across the mountain, so as to deter courtiers who keep borrowing money, and they will probably restrain themselves.

If you don't stop right now, later...hehe.

Yin Zhen's plan was to make a lot of noise, but he never expected that this situation would happen.

It turned out to be Yinyou, who made his idea on the treasury first!

Yinzhen's mind was blank, and he was stunned in place with his mouth gaping. It was Prince Yinreng who woke up first. He took a deep breath, restrained his efforts, and slipped Yinyou to his face.

Presumably, someone must have taken Yinyou down.

With a smile on his face, Yinfeng said in a harmonious voice, "Who told you such a good idea?" Anyone who dares to spoil Yinyou, whoever he is, has to——

Before Yinyou explained, Yinzhen was happy.

He leaned forward, and blew himself up proudly: "Second brother of the prince, this matter is said by the younger brother and the seventh brother!"

Yinfeng's face cracked.

He threw Yinyou aside, and ruthlessly pulled Yinzhen over, and the whole thing was a training session.

This Yinzhen has been dishonest since she was a child.

Let's not talk about the strange behavior of taking all the golden melon seeds when I was young, just to reward the behavior of insisting on shops... At best, it is a money fan, at worst, what is it?

That is the seedling of future corrupt officials!

Now Yinfeng, who has a very deep resentment against corrupt officials, is very vigilant about this, and temporarily relaxes the control on Yinyou, and conducts a profound education on Yinzhen.

I thought it was a compliment, but it turned out to be a reprimand.

Yinzhen, who had no patience in the first place, now had a completely broken face.With a dark face, he snorted coldly: "Uncle Prince Gong can do it, why can't Elder Brother Ben?"

"Uncle Prince Gong?"

"That's right—my younger brother watched Prince Gong ask the master about the money he got." Yinzhen was indignant, and pointed at the master.

All eyes fell on the principal.

The principal, who was afraid of getting caught in the fire, stood in the corner from the moment he came in, thinking that he would be able to escape, but he did not expect to be targeted by His Royal Highness in the end.The chief's legs were trembling, and he walked forward bitterly: "...Yes, yes. Brother Jiu said...that's right."

The co-authored private treasury is borrowing money, and the state treasury is also borrowing money! ?

Yinfeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and sparks seemed to burst out of his eyes staring at the chief.He slapped the table with his palm, and said through gritted teeth, "Go—send all the account books to Gu!"

It's okay if you don't look at it, but Yinrong's face turns dark when he looks at it.

The number of borrowers covers almost all the ministers, and of course there are many bannermen, such as Suo'etu, Nalan Mingzhu, Prince Gong Changning, and even Prince Yu Fuquan.

Yinfeng was furious.

He, as the prince, was so poor that he cried, and these officials and clans actually asked the treasury to borrow money?

What a god! ?

Yinfeng's complexion is very ugly, the most important thing is that he still has nowhere to say his grievances.

In Yuqing Palace, treasures are indeed piled up like a mountain, and the daily expenses are handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The problem is that the crown prince has no private money!

Finally, Khan Ama opened his mouth to hand out some pocket money...not warming it up in Yinrong's pocket.No!After the Lingpu case, Yinreng also completely emptied his own pockets in order to appease the people who had been exploited by dog ​​slaves for a long time.

The poorest among the brothers is the prince himself.

He looked at the lines of loans on the treasury account book, ranging from a thousand taels to tens of thousands of taels, and even 10,000+ taels of loans, and his heart ached to the point of bleeding.

The household minister on duty and the principals rushed over upon hearing the news.

Ashan, the servant of the household department, looked embarrassed: "His Royal Highness, the loan is approved by the emperor, and it is used by many officials with meager salaries to support their families."

Yinfeng sneered: "I don't know that Uncle Gong is so impoverished that he has to rely on the relief from the treasury to survive?"

The corner of Ashan's mouth twitched.

He wanted to say more, but saw the crown prince's fingertips clicking on a certain line: "Or is it that Mr. Ah Shan actually needs 1 taels of silver for his household every month?"

For a while, the colleagues around him looked at him in surprise.

Ashan, the servant of the household department, was dripping with cold sweat, and it took him a while to answer in a trembling voice: "The slave is only in urgent need, so he asked the treasury for a temporary loan."

Prince Yinreng stared at the account book and let out a oh.

He looked at Ah Shan with a half-smile: "This is really urgent, borrowed it three years ago and still haven't paid it back?"

Ashan, the servant of the household department, froze.

He was anxious for a while, but he didn't realize that the prince was looking through the account books of previous years, and was stunned speechless by the words.

Yinreng got up with a dark face.

He ordered the guards to carry a thick stack of account books, called his brothers and walked into the palace.

Hearing that the loan has not been repaid for several years, although Kangxi frowned, he was not as angry as the prince thought.He pondered for a moment, but said the matter: "The income of officials is poor, especially the frequent exchanges between officials in Beijing and China, which cost a lot of money. This matter... is also allowed by me."

Yinfeng was about to be stunned.

His face was full of disbelief: "Is... Khan Ama allowed it?"

Although Kangxi knew that such an answer would have a great impact on Yinfeng and others, he still gave an affirmative answer.

After science popularization, I looked through the account books again.

Yinyou, who already knew that taking money from the treasury is not the right way, was also stunned. He stammered: "Then how to manage this? What if, what if they run out of borrowing from the treasury?"

"How can I borrow it all?"

"Khan Ama, you think too well of those corrupt officials." Prince Yinreng said with a dark face, "I think I treat the servants of Yuqing Palace well, but they rely on my name to exploit the common people. Taking bribes and extorting officials in the name of his sons."

Yinfeng's face was heavy.

He thought more than Kangxi expected: "There were some people in Yuqing Palace who didn't want to be with them, but they joined forces to frame them, and some people even lost their lives innocently..."

If it weren't for the investigation, how could Yinfeng believe it.

He took a deep breath: "If it goes on for a long time, will the officials be the same? Those who don't want to borrow money will become an outlier among them and be rejected by other officials?"

Yinzhen's eyes brightened: "What the prince said is very true."

Just as the prince said, when Khan Ama formally liquidated the national treasury, no one in the court was innocent, and even the newly promoted officials of the Imperial Academy had borrowed money, even if their loans were mostly symbolic one tael or more than a hundred taels Silver, but you can also see how bad the atmosphere has become at that time.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public.

In his previous life, Yinzhen was ordered to investigate the treasury, but it was useless to use those cheeky clan courtiers. In the end, he could only cruelly start with the brothers. This is one of the reasons why the relationship between the brothers broke down completely.

It's just that Yinzhen can't say these things.

He took a deep breath, and decided to take Gu Badai, who was loved by Khan Ama in his previous life and not very popular in this life, as an example.

Yinzhen's face was heavy, and he clenched his hands into fists by his side: "I heard that the upright officials passed away, but they didn't even have money to bury them. Only the common people donated money to be buried. These upright officials could have borrowed money from the treasury, but they had no choice." Borrowing money, and how many of these officials who asked the treasury to borrow money really couldn't get rid of the family, or did they say that the borrowed money was just used for drinking?"

Yinyou was thoughtful.

He thought of Liu Guo, his enlightenment master, and couldn't help saying: "Master Liu's family is a scholarly family, and he has been an official many generations ago, but Master Liu's family is poor, and he can only eat chicken three days a year... It is still the same. That's right."

With the speeches of the fourth and seventh brothers, Prince Yinreng became more determined in his opinion.He pursed his lips and stared at Khan Ama closely: "I know very well that the nepotism is twisted and twisted, and it can affect the whole body. It's just that it's not good for Jiangshan Sheji if it goes on like this. I'm afraid new officials will think it's Khan. Ma tacitly cannot resist the temptation of corruption."

The firmness in the words moved Kangxi.

Yinyou, who was immature at first, looks like a teenager now, not to mention Yinreng and Yinzhen... Every immature face is full of firm belief, and it is also full of the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Kangxi's heart trembled slightly.

Looking back at the time when I was in power, didn't I investigate and deal with corrupt officials like Yinfeng, purge officials, and borrow money from the treasury to make a living? If it is used for other purposes, how is it different from corruption?

Kangxi tapped the armrest lightly with his fingertips.

In the end he let go: "I will leave this matter to the crown prince... Yinzhen will act as his deputy."

Yinyou hurriedly stepped forward: "Where is the minister?"

Kangxi hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered Yinyou's keen sense of smell like a hound...ah no, the sixth sense for corrupt officials.

Kangxi thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Then appoint you as Yinzhen's deputy."

Yinyou is satisfied now.

Yinzhen also leaned forward, with excitement in his eyes: "Where is my son?"

Kangxi: ...

Don't think I didn't see your little thoughts!Kangxi ruthlessly brought Yinzhen in front of him: "I remember that you have read the Book of Changes now, right? I'm here to test and teach you—"

"Hey?"

"Hey, what? If you don't pass the test, you won't be allowed to leave the palace from tomorrow onwards, and you have to study on rest days."

"..."

"What does it mean for a gentleman to gather together when he learns, to debate when he asks, to live with generosity, and to act with benevolence?"

Yinzhen was dripping with cold sweat.

How can he remember the contents of the textbook after having a great time in the household department yamen?He anxiously cast a look towards his brothers for help, but seeing them walking quickly along the base of the wall, Yin'er didn't even dare to look back, fearing that he would be left behind too.
