Zhang Penghong took it with a look of surprise and thought to himself, what is the matter with this 14th prince? After carefully reading it, Zhang Yuanlong bluntly admitted in his confession that he had bribed Kali 100,000 taels of silver, and colluded with him to resell the barn of 200,000 stones of rice at the sea with a navy warship. Afterwards, he gave Kali 60,000 taels of rice. Moreover, Zhang Yuanlong's handwritten letters were already written by Zhang Yuanlong. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, "The 14th Master is such a great righteousness, and he is a model of my Qing Dynasty. The official will report this matter to the fact. Since the errand has been completed, the official will return to Jiangning tomorrow."

"Why do you need to be so hasty, sir?" Yinzhen said, and he stretched out his hand and took the confession back. Shi Shiran put it back in his arms, and then smiled and said, "This confession must not be given to the two adults now." [The latest updates are all in the search.]

Zhang Penghu was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions for the Fourteenth Master? You can get it out. If the subordinate can do it, you will definitely not refuse."

"How dare you have the conditions?" Yinzhen chuckled and said, "Two lords have worked hard for a year. Shanghai has beautiful scenery. Why not enjoy it? One is the way of civil and military affairs."

Even though Zhang Penghong was a mature spirit, he was confused by Yinzhen's few strokes. He didn't know what he was selling in the gourd. After he hesitating, he said hesitantly: "I heard that Shanghai has a unique scenery for a long time. I don't know how long it will take to finish it?"

Gamintu's lips curled, and it was a small broken county town. It was nothing to do, but it was beautiful and the scenery was unique? I won't say anything about Zhang Penghong. This 14th Master is young, but he is like an official, and his face is not red when he opens his eyes and speaks lies with no eyes.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Shanghai's scenery is unique, and you need to calm down to appreciate its beauty. One year should be enough."

One year? Zhang Pengchong couldn't help but feel wronged, and he didn't play the hoarse fan. "The Fourteenth Master thinks that the emperor will allow us to check here for the previous year?"

"Of course, it's not just about investigating this case." Yinzhen said as he stood up, his face turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Penghu, Gamintu receives the order."

The two were stunned, hurriedly got up, dressed up, and then leaned over and knelt down, and then Yinzhen said: "The emperor secretly ordered Zhang Penghu and Gamintu to secretly investigate the robbery of the Shanghai Marine Trade fleet, and replied with a secret letter."

The case of the robbery of the Shanghai Marine Trade fleet? Zhang Penghui was even more confused when he heard this. The pirate had already run away without a trace. It was just a headless case. How could he investigate? "Please get up, two sirs," Yinzhen said with a smile. When the two of them got up, he handed over Kangxi's secret decree to Zhang Penghui.

Zhang Pengxi glanced a little and knew that it was indeed Kangxi's pen. Seeing Yinzhen's calm expression, he felt relieved and understood what case was. This was purely an excuse Kangxi had found to protect the 14th Prince. However, he was still confused. Why did he delay the case for a year? Is it because of Yinzhen or because of the gali? But these are not what we should consider now. It is rare to be able to relax for a year. He laughed and said, "The 14th Prince will be bothered with the 14th Prince in the future."

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and asked the two to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Is Lord Zhang ready to work in Shanghai for one year?"

What does this mean? Is there anything else to do in Shanghai? Zhang Penghong was already very depressed. Today's conversation was too passive. Yinzhen was the leader, and he could not understand his thoughts at all. He had been in a high position for many years and rarely encountered this situation. However, when he thought of Yinzhen's identity, he had to set up his posture and lower his posture. "The officials were stupid, and I hope the Fourteenth Master would give me advice."

"The advice is not enough. As the saying goes, I will give you a gift and a petty person, and I will give you Qiong Yao." Yinzhen smiled and waved his hand. "Mr. Zhang has been traveling to Jiangnan for many years and has a good understanding of Jiangnan. I wonder what Mr. Zhang thinks of Jiangnan's luxury style?"

Why did this come to this topic? What does this have to do with me? Zhang Pengheng has already started to feel a headache. The fourteenth master's speech was too leaping. He couldn't figure out what Yinzhen thought, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense. Kangxi advocated frugality. After meditating, he pondered: "The prosperity of Jiangnan has been a long-standing style. When Tang Bin, a famous Neo-Confucian official in our dynasty, took office as the governor of Jiangsu, he also vigorously rectified it, but the effect was not great. As soon as he stepped down, the style of luxury was revived. In recent years, the world has been peaceful and the people have become rich. The style of luxury has become more and more intense. When the subordinates heard and witnessed it in Jiangnan, they were full of worries, but they were helpless."

"If you have money, you will naturally have to spend it. If you are rich, you will naturally be extravagant. Otherwise, what's the use of hard-working money? This is human nature. Why use the standards of Neo-Confucianism to require everyone?" Yinzhen said lightly: "This is the same as water control. It is better to be distracted than blocking. Lord Zhang is now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. You might as well look at this problem from a different perspective. If these wealthy families are not extravagant, what will they do with the money they make?"

The imperial court has always advocated frugality, and Kangxi took the lead in frugality. He thought that Zhang Pengfeng and Gamintu had never thought about this problem before, and they couldn't help but think about it in their hearts. Yinzhen continued to say: "If you can't be extravagant after making money, then one is to dig a silver cellar to bury it. This situation is not common. All the wealthy families in Jiangnan have silver cellars. The other is to desperately purchase land. This situation is more, just look at how many wealthy families in Jiangnan have Qianqing brands.

However, this will have any benefits to the country and the local government? If it is buried in a silver cellar, the silver will not be circulated. This is a major disadvantage of the money regime. Over time, it will inevitably lead to a shortage of silver and money on the market and cause prices to rise. Purchasing land will have a greater harm, which will lead to a high concentration of land and a series of social conflicts."

Zhang Penghu and Gamintu were both ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and ministers of the Ministry of Revenue. They were both veterans of financial management. They were shocked when they heard Yinzhen’s words. This was not a terrifying statement. After a long time, the disadvantages gradually emerged. When they discovered it, it would be too late. Both of them were also confused. Such an obvious question has never been paid attention to? Zhang Penghu had a vague understanding of Yinzhen’s thoughts. He asked hesitantly: “Is this what the Fourteenth Master mean?”

Yinzhen knew what he was trying to ask, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm going to submit a memorial, are you willing to sign your name?"

Gamintu was immediately delighted. As soon as this comment was put on, it would inevitably attract Kangxi's great attention. If it could be promoted, it would not only be a matter of reputation, but at least it would leave a good impression in Kangxi's mind.

Zhang Pengfeng was more careful. Although this Fourteenth Master looked gentle and elegant, he smiled harmlessly, but in such a short time, he had already shown everyone's style. He was definitely not a good person to meet. How could he have such a good thing? He would figure out his intentions first and then make a decision. Therefore, he carefully said: "The Fourteenth Master has unique wise eyes and outstanding knowledge, which made the lower officials very ashamed. But the gentleman does not plunder others. Besides, the lower officials and the lower officials are also worthless and unpaid..."

"Haha, Lord Zhang, don't worry." Seeing the two of them moved, Yinzhen smiled happily: "The style of luxury is the theme, but how to guide the way correctly? We cannot be general and indifferent. We will introduce a model and show results. This is more convincing. Yinzhen has a specific idea, but unfortunately, the matter is too busy and cannot be done. He still has to worry about the two adults' big trouble. The two are the heads of the Ministry of Revenue, and the only candidates to handle this matter."

Yinzhen said a lot of nonsense, but stopped at the critical point, only hooking Zhang Penghu and Gamintu into a slut. Although Zhang Penghu was very curious, he still calmed down and waited for him to come. He had an idea of ​​not seeing the rabbit or showing off the eagle. However, Gamintu had no demeanor and cultivation in the end, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what the Fourteenth Master thinks?"
