Rise From the Humble

Chapter 720: Inspection of Taikoo Bank

Soon, Zhu Ping'an heard the sound of footsteps, and then saw Li Shu, the second lady of the Hou family, and others walking into the study room with unkind expressions.

"I'm talking about Brother Rui. I took off my clothes and changed my clothes before going to bed. His clothes got dirty when he ate the ice bowl."

Facing the angry glares of Li Shu and others, Zhu Ping'an hurriedly explained with sweat and almost swore to the sky.

"Brother Rui, how can you tell me that you asked your second sister to take off her clothes and come over to sleep with you?" Li Shu glared at Zhu Pingan with shame and anger, showing her pointed little tiger teeth, as if Zhu Pingan didn't give her a reasonable explanation. It looked like he would pounce on Zhu Ping'an and bite him twice.

The little maid Baozi looked at Zhu Ping'an with a somewhat complicated look, indignant and resentful.

The second young lady of the Hou family's face was blushing, and her eyes were filled with mist, as if she would burst into tears the next second.

The naughty boy Rui Geer hid behind the second lady of the Hou Mansion, secretly looking at Zhu Ping'an with two small eyes on his small fat face.

"Khan, brother Rui was about to go to bed just now. I saw that his clothes were full of milk stains. I thought that my second sister had brought brother Rui here just now. I should have a change of clothes, so I said to him, 'Go find you, second sister. Sister, ask your sister to take off her clothes and then come over and go to bed. What I said is to ask the second sister to change clothes for Brother Rui and then let him go to bed." Zhu Pingan pointed to the naughty child silently and said with a frank look. .

"Is that so, Brother Rui?" Li Shu looked at the naughty child and asked.

"My brother-in-law just refused to let me go to bed, and then he said, 'Let your sister take off her clothes before she comes over to go to bed.' I thought my brother-in-law was asking my second sister to take off her clothes and go to bed." The naughty boy raised his little fat face and squeezed his eyes. Yan Wuji said.

Well, Brother Rui made a mistake.

Li Shu and others came to a conclusion after listening to Zhu Pingan's explanation and getting confirmation from the naughty boy.

At this point, the misunderstanding was resolved, and Zhu Pingan was finally not labeled as molesting his sister-in-law, otherwise Zhu Pingan would not have the shame to stay in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

Although the misunderstanding was resolved, the second lady of the Hou family was a little embarrassed. She only stayed for a while and then found an excuse to leave.

"Haha, come here, brother Rui."

Looking at the innocent-looking boy, Zhu Ping'an smiled "gently" and rubbed his wrist.

The next morning, it was still dark outside, and Zhu Ping'an had already gotten up and went to Xiyuan Wuyi Restaurant.

The focus of the cabinet's work is still around the court meeting the night before yesterday.

Yuan Wei came to Wuyishan today, proudly wearing the cuckold given by Emperor Jiajing, and arrogantly in front of Zhu Pingan.

Yuan Wei had his reasons for being proud in front of Zhu Pingan.

The Ming Dynasty set up military defense towns along the Great Wall to protect the security of the Central Plains. From Liaodong Town in the east to Gansu Town in the west, a total of nine military defense towns were set up, known as the "Nine Borders" in history. The "nine sides" are Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town and Gansu Town.

Today, Yuan Wei was sent to Xiyuan by Emperor Jiajing to report to Xiyuan, where he was given a face-to-face instruction. Later, he was appointed by Emperor Jiajing as the nine-border survey envoy. Together with the two military commanders and two supervisory censors, they went to Xuanfu and Datong. The two towns investigate the use of military pay, border repair, relief and other expenses. If embezzlement is discovered, they have the power to kill first and report later.

The two towns of Xuanfu and Datong that Yuan Wei and others were ordered to investigate had the largest military expenditures on the nine sides. They were also the main towns in the defense of Beilu Ada Khan, and they were of great importance.

Yuan Wei and others were equivalent to imperial envoys, somewhat similar to modern inspection teams.

And Yuan Wei was the Jiudian Survey Envoy appointed by Emperor Jiajing, and was the main person in charge of this survey. The two supervisors and the two supervisory censors were all under his control, and they were equivalent to the leaders of the inspection team. The scenery is endless.

Of course, there is another reason why Yuan Wei is so arrogant in front of Zhu Pingan.

Zhu Pingan was also assigned a job today. Compared with Yuan Wei, the powerful leader of the inspection team, Zhu Pingan was the most inconspicuous among the team members.

In the court meeting the night before last, Emperor Jiajing not only mentioned the nine sides to verify military expenditures, but also sealed the Taicang Bank.

Today, Emperor Jiajing announced the purpose of sealing the Taicang Bank - to inspect the Taicang Bank.

At the same time as Yuan Wei and his nine-side inspection team, the Taicang Bank Inspection Team was established.

Liu Guangzuo, the right minister of the third-rank official department, serves as the chief inspector of the Taicang bank. Qu Tongyang, the right minister of the fourth rank of Dali Temple, serves as the deputy inspector of the Taicang bank. In addition, the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Industry also inspects the Taicang bank. There were Gao Rui, a doctor in the Department of Administration, Zhu Ping'an, a sixth-rank imperial minister, and Sinan, a seventh-rank supervisory censor.

Speaking of which, Zhu Ping'an was not the one with the lowest official position, but although the supervisory censor, Sinan, had a low official position, he was powerful and well-known among the officials. Relatively speaking, Zhu Ping'an was the most inconspicuous member of the Taicang bank inspection team this time. He was almost just a follower.

Zhu Ping'an didn't know how he got into the Taicang Bank Audit Team. He just joined Wuyi Shang Division today and was informed of the appointment.

Anyway, it’s just that he wasn’t appointed by Emperor Jiajing.

It is precisely because the contrast is so sharp that Yuan Wei is so arrogant in front of Zhu Pingan.

Okay, I saw your cuckold.

Is it necessary to be so proud?

Zhu Ping'an cursed Yuan Wei who was hanging around.

Emperor Jiajing attached great importance to this Taicang bank inspection. After taking the "elixir" just now, Emperor Jiajing came to Wuyishan wearing a blue Taoist robe. In fact, although Emperor Jiajing did not go to court, he was still very interested in government affairs. Very caring.

Emperor Jiajing must have just taken the refined "elixir", his face was abnormally rosy, and he was wearing a green sermon robe and fluttering sleeves.

Emperor Jiajing summoned the Jiubian Survey and Taicang Bank Inspection Teams in the cabinet.

As a member of the Taicang Bank inspection team, Zhu Ping'an listened to the Hadith. Emperor Jiajing attached great importance to the inspection of the Taicang Bank. The Taicang Bank is the treasury of the Ming Dynasty and the money bag of the Ming Dynasty. It is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Jiubian Year. , official salary, military pay, supplying the internal treasury, and providing disaster relief to the people are all inseparable from the support of Taicang Bank.

I have to say that Emperor Jiajing was a genius.

While emphasizing the importance of this inspection, Emperor Jiajing also set up a cross-inspection system. Starting from this year, Taicang Bank will be inspected every other year, with different inspection team members each time.

This year it is Zhu Pingan and the other five, but I don’t know who it will be next time. The only thing that is certain is that it will definitely not be the five of them.

If there is fraud or perfunctory work this time, it is likely to be revealed the next time the bank is audited.

This is where the Jiajing Emperor excelled in his power.

"Please don't betray me."

Emperor Jiajing glanced at the five people one by one for the last time, his eyes were sharp, and the entire hall was filled with supreme pressure. It was only when cold sweat appeared on the backs of Zhu Ping'an and others that Emperor Jiajing said something sinisterly.
