Qing Dynasty: Pampering The Queen

He had expected that one day Huang Ama would ask about this matter, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

In the early years, the national treasury was abundant, and I don't know who started it, but in the end it was Huang Ama's acquiescence, and many ministers borrowed money from the national treasury.

Some paid it back, some didn't.

Not only the ministers, but also the clan, and even the prince, eldest elder brother, and third elder brother also borrowed.

But the third elder brother and the prince later paid it back, but the eldest elder brother did not.

It wasn't until later that the national treasury was tight and no longer borrowed from other countries, that this matter was considered to have stopped.

Later, he took over the job of the household department, and strictly prohibited such things.

But the previous account is not easy to recover.

Therefore, he deliberately made a list, and asked the old thirteen and the old fourteen to bring a few people with them, and ask them one by one.

Those with less official positions, those who owe less, those who are less courageous, and those whose family can barely make do with it, have all been repaid.

There are more than 30 people left, either relying on the old to sell the old, or owe too much debt and not worry about death, pigs are not afraid of boiling water, or are not in the capital too far away, there is no imperial court to issue a document, it is not easy to chase like this, or arrogant, say If you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back—there are only two people in this category, one elder brother and one uncle Wang, the county king of the clan.

The sum of the silver owed by these thirty people is more than ten thousand taels.

And what the old thirteenth and fourteenth worked so hard to get back was only more than 600,000 taels.

Huang Ama finally asked about this matter, Fourth Master naturally expressed his opinion: "The amount owed is a bit large, I wonder what Huang Ama thinks?"

Lord Kangxi smiled: "This is exactly what I want to ask you, what do you think?"

The fourth master didn't hesitate to think: "It's only natural to pay off debts, and what's more, it owes the treasury a huge amount of money. There is no reason to let it go. More than ten million taels of silver! If it is recovered, it will cost one year's military horse expenses, preparations for spring plowing, It is enough to prepare disaster relief and relief.”

"Yes," Master Kangxi sighed, feeling a little heartbroken.

More than ten million taels is indeed a large number.

The fourth master said again: "At the beginning, Huang Ama sympathized with his courtiers and allowed them to borrow money from the treasury for emergency relief. They should be grateful and pay back in time, so that the monarch and his ministers will be honored. If they refused to return it to death, my son thought it was too much. "

Lord Kangxi nodded slightly.

He looked up at Fourth Master, and was about to speak, but saw Fourth Master got up and knelt down, and said solemnly: "If Huang Ama can be trusted, I am willing to take charge of this matter."

Fourth master took it for granted, and felt that it should be taken for granted. After all, he was in charge of the household department now, so he couldn't avoid such a big troublesome and important matter.

Instead of waiting for Huang Ama to speak, it is better to take the initiative.

Lord Kangxi was stunned there.

This is the fourth child, this is——you took the initiative to speak?

He didn't mean that at first, he just planned to briefly mention this matter to him, let him go back and think about it, think about it, what should happen if this matter is to be done.

He originally planned to mention this matter in the early court, and ask him and the third child who would come forward to do this matter.

This is the matter that he secretly selected for them to compete. But subconsciously, he was a little bit more inclined to him, so I couldn't help but mention a few words to him in advance, who knew him, he actually asked for his life!

Master Kangxi's eyes were a bit complicated. Looking at Fourth Master, he secretly sighed in his heart, could this be God's will?
