Ma Hong pulled Chu Huan into the house and closed the door, so he let Chu Huan sit down. He said he was drinking tea before, but there was no point in making tea. He sat down next to Chu Huan and smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, there is nothing to check for the shops on Jinyu Street. Since they have been sold by the merchants and the money has been collected, why bother with them?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Mr. Master, although he said this, we should be trusted by the emperor to manage the Ministry of Revenue. We must do our best to do our duty. The subordinates followed the subordinates, and they had to deal with the matters they had to do every day. Some things might not be time to ask about. The subordinates received the salary from the court and always helped the adults deal with some things they had no time to ask about."

Ma Hong forced a smile and said, "What Lord Chu said is."

"There are actually no clues about the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue." Chu Huan laughed at himself, "but the official has found a lesson to work in the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Oh?" Ma Hongqi said: "I would like to ask Lord Chu for advice!"

"I don't know if the lower officials are right, but the lower officials think that the court is like a family, and the Ministry of Revenue is waiting for the account of a family, what the accountant has to do is to balance the input and expenses in the family." Chu Huan laughed and said, "To put it bluntly, the more inputs, the better, and the less expenditure, the better. I wonder if this is the reason?"

Ma Hong nodded and smiled, "It can be said that, but it is not so simple to do it. Just say that you spend less money and spend less money. You can't save some money you should spend."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "What the lord said is, but the more you are, the better. Just say that the eleven shops on Jinyu Street, since they can be checked and sold out by the Ministry of Revenue, then one tael of silver can be added, and the Ministry of Revenue can also have one tael of silver in stock, and in the future, they can do one tael of silver. The officials are worried that the subordinates will not know what they do, so they hurriedly put out the shops, but did not sell them for a good price. That is, they have the official robe they wear."

Ma Hong frowned and didn't speak.

"The Xiaguan has estimated that the shop there must not be less than 2,500 taels." Chu Huan looked very firm and clenched his fists. "If this amount is less, the Xiaguan will personally negotiate with the merchants and make up for the money. And less than this amount is equivalent to those merchants who want to take advantage of the situation. The Xiaguan must check their details. In the future, our Ministry of Revenue will definitely strictly manage these unscrupulous merchants who have lost the interests of the court..."

Ma Hong's eyelids were pounding faster and faster, and his expression was ugly. Chu Huan looked at him and said with concern again: "Sir, I really feel uncomfortable and my face is very bad. Why don't you go and invite the doctor to come and have a look?"

Ma Hong waved his hand, pondered slightly, and finally said, "Mr. Chu, did you just say that you have a fellow villager who wants to do business in the Pingxia Shop on Jinyu Street?"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Since you have already taken the lead, the official has not mentioned this matter at this moment."

"Don't worry, Lord Chu." Ma Hong smiled and said, "Don't you just want to have a shop? I'll send someone to handle this for you. We are the head of the Ministry of Revenue, so a small shop is not a problem. By the way, does he want a shop?"

"That's not." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Since you want to do business, this store is too shabby. There are not three or four stores, so the business is probably not interesting!"

"Three or four rooms?" Ma Hong took a breath and stared at Chu Huan. Seeing Chu Huan's expression was calm, he sneered in his heart. The young man looked very honest on the outside, but his appetite was really big.

There are shadows of the dynasty officials behind each shop on Jinyu Street, and there are even two shops on that street with the Duke of Yiguo Xuanyuan clan. The business on Jinyu Street makes no mistakes, who is not jealous?

Ma Hong has been in central Beijing for many years and naturally has many industries, but he is a rising star in the officialdom. Jinyu Street has long been divided. Even if he wants to squeeze in, he is powerless.

This time Huang Ju fell, as the biggest behind Jinyu Street, Huang Ju had eleven shops on Jinyu Street. In this way, after the house was confiscated, eleven shops were vacated.

Although there were so many people in the court who were thinking about these shops, Ma Hong naturally could not let these shops worth more than gold flow into the hands of others. He had set his sights on the other side early in the morning. When the emperor issued an order to search the house, he immediately sent his confidants to confiscate all the shops in the Huang family on Jinyu Street. In order to avoid the long night and dreams, he even used the merchants that had been prepared long ago and took stock of all the eleven shops.

At the eleven o'clock store, he was waiting for eleven mines. He was in a good mood, but Qiu Jungao, the Minister of Justice, came first and talked around the bush for a long time. The two of them talked silently for a long time. In the end, Ma Hong had no choice but to smile on his face but was divided by Qiu Jungao and left three shops with ache.

Qiu Jungao was a famous cruel official in the court and the country. This person's status in the court was different from others. He did not belong to any party, nor even the new party. The Ministry of Justice has always had its own system, but Qiu Jungao was very loyal to the emperor. If the emperor held two things in his hand, a sharp knife and a hunting dog, then the Shenyiwei was the emperor's knife, and Qiu Jungao was the emperor's hunting dog.

No one wants to have a close relationship with this vicious person for this hunting dog, but no one wants to offend him. Even when Duke An Guo was there, he would give Qiu Jungao a little bit of shame.

Ma Hong knew that Qiu Jungao was the one with a smile on his face and holding a knife in his hand. Since he came to the door in person, he was bound to win. Ma Hong had already known in his heart that he would never swallow all the eleven shops on Jinyu Street. Especially Qiu Jungao, the house was raided, which was a joint force. If he offended Qiu Jungao, there would be no benefit, so he could only bear the pain and throw out three shops.

A wolf was sent away in front, but who knew that another tiger came from behind. Moreover, Chu Huan's appetite was quite good. He opened his mouth and asked for three or four shops. Ma Hong was angry, his eyes twitched, but he forced a smile: "Mr. Chu, I'm afraid he can't get so many shops."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's okay." He didn't say much, but got up and bowed, "Mr. Master, the subordinates should check the situation of the eleven shops, so that they won't bother you anymore." He was about to leave.

"Two rooms!" Ma Hong gritted his teeth, "Mr. Chu, your fellow villager wants to do business, so I can ask someone to free up two rooms!"

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "I dare not make things difficult for the masters. I'm afraid he's still not interested in the two shops." He walked away and showed resentment in Ma Hong's eyes.

In fact, except for Qiu Jungao, he is not afraid of other officials in the court interfering in this matter.

As long as he cooperates with Qiu Jungao, other officials have no right to enter the Ministry of Revenue for verification. Even if someone is jealous and finds those merchants, Ma Hong doesn't have to worry. He has already figured out a solution. Even if someone knows that the shops are related to him, he can't come up with evidence.

But he was afraid of people within the Ministry of Revenue.

Especially Chu Huan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Chu Huan is both the Minister of Revenue and the title of Earl. He is a member of the Ministry of Revenue, but he is not Ma Hong's person. If he really wants to make some trouble in the Ministry of Revenue, Ma Hong's life may not be easy.

Ma Hong never doubted Chu Huan's courage to stir up trouble.

When Chu Huan first entered the Ministry of Revenue, a storm caused, which was well known. At that time, Chu Huan had no scruples. Now Chu Huan has even gained the emperor's appreciation and trust to a certain extent, so he has the confidence to cause a storm in the Ministry of Revenue. In fact, Ma Hong's biggest wish is that Chu Huan can stay in the Ministry of Revenue honestly, and it is best to drink tea and doze off every day, and not interfere with his measures in the Ministry of Revenue.

However, today, the Minister of Revenue obviously did not want to calm down.

Chu Huan had no reason to calm down.

After Ma Hong entered the Ministry of Revenue, he called on his confidants and had already established a foundation in the Ministry of Revenue. Although it was not stable, the Ministry of Revenue can be said to be almost under the control of Ma Hong.

Chu Huan was not very interested in controlling the Ministry of Revenue, but he was not used to Ma Hong's hand covering the sky in the Ministry of Revenue. Moreover, he could feel that Ma Hong was still polite to him on the surface, but he was full of hostility towards him in his bones. For such a person, Chu Huan naturally could not watch him call the wind and rain at the Ministry of Revenue.

Chu Huan also knew that Ma Hong was from the New Party, and the greater the power of Ma Hong, the greater the power of the New Party. He did not want to see the new Party's strength. The growth of any force in the Korean Kingdom would not be a good thing for King Yingren of Qi.

Chu Huan knew very well that the shops on Jinyu Street were stripped away in a short period of time, and it was only Ma Hong himself who did it. He didn't think it was a handle to defeat Ma Hong. In fact, it was common for officials to secretly run shops, but it was difficult to get it on the table, and the emperor even knew it very well.

Even if this matter is thoroughly investigated, the emperor would simply scold Ma Hong, take away the shop, and then confiscate Ma Hong's money. This may not be a big blow to Ma Hong's status. Since this is the case, Chu Huan is willing to pull off some fat meat from Ma Hong's mouth, at least he should clearly warn Ma Hong that the Ministry of Revenue is not the world of Ma Hong's family.

Seeing that Chu Huan was about to walk out of the door, Ma Hong finally gritted his teeth and said, "Three rooms!"

Chu Huan stopped and turned around. He saw Ma Hong raise three fingers, "Sanjian, Lord Chu can tell you that fellow villager that he can run three shops in Jinyu Street."

"Oh?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "Then I'll have the master of the Labor Department. By the way, I have to check the shops for merchants. How much money does one store cost? I can also ask my fellow villagers to compensate them."

Ma Hong said angrily: "Mr. Chu doesn't have to worry anymore, there is no need to check it. Three shops, you ask your fellow villager to take out 600 taels of silver...!"

"How many?" Chu Huan was stunned. Three rooms were six hundred taels, wouldn't it cost only two hundred taels of silver for one? It was almost no different from the one you picked up for free.

Ma Hong felt angry and said coldly: "Six hundred taels."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "This...is something wrong!"

"Since you are a villager of the loyal and brave uncle, you must take care of it." Ma Hong waved his hand, "Mr. Chu can now ask your villager to go to Jinyu Street to choose three shops. After you take a fancy, you will pay 600 taels of silver and come to me to get the land deed." He couldn't help but add, "Mr. Chu, say to your villager on behalf of me, I hope his business will be prosperous!"
