All under the world is the king's land; all the land is the king's minister.

In ancient times, the emperor was the incarnation of God and the supreme ruler. Within his ruling scope, all the property belonged to him. However, the Ming Dynasty had a cabinet system that could refuse to draft the emperor's "unreasonable" edicts, and seal them and report them, such as some unreasonable expenses.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one internal transportation warehouse, and the emperor's expenses were tied to the state's expenses.

In the seventh year of Zhengtong, the Taicang warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue was established, and the real treasury was officially established. From then on, there was a formal difference between the treasury and the treasury. The treasury continued to bear the obligation to pay wages to generals, while the treasury had to bear the important mission of military expenditure. Perhaps the widespread uprising and foreign wars at that time led to the establishment of such an institution.

In a word, the inner treasury is the emperor's small treasury, and he will spend whatever he wants. The national treasury is the state expenditure. If the emperor wants to use the silver from the treasury, he must obtain the consent of the ministers and be bound. Therefore, the emperor tried every means to increase his treasury. In addition to fixed tax sharing, mining tax, income from the imperial village, etc., it was to confiscate the property of corrupt officials, and Jiajing also had to add one foot to it.

This is how the several houses in Dongzhimen came from.

I have to say that this is a social progress.

I owe Zhao Jin a favor.

The next morning, before Si was still at the time, Yu Jin was already waiting in front of the drum tower at Dongzhimen.

I don’t know who the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent to sell it, but those who can have something to do with the Emperor’s inner treasury will definitely not have a low status, so Yu Jin dared not let them wait.

It was a moment of Si, but the time came, and no one had arrived. Yu Jin stood until his legs were weak. If it weren't for Zhao Jinqian's line, he would have thought he would have left.

Until the third hour of Si, I finally saw a man appearing with two tiger-backed and dragon-waisted guards.

Perhaps, it cannot be described as a man:

"You are Yu Jin"

When Yu Jin wanted to ask, a man with a white face and no beard said in a hoarse voice similar to a duck's voice. The harsh sound scared Yu Jin.

This man is about forty years old, his skin is much more delicate than that of an ordinary man, and his throat does not have an Adam's apple. With the sound of being neither yin nor yang, it is obvious that this is a eunuch who came out of the palace.

Yu Jin immediately said: "That's right, I don't know that my father-in-law respects his surname and name."

The white-faced eunuch didn't say anything, and a waiter said loudly: "This is Eunuch Chen, the admiral of the Sili Supervisor, why don't you give the tribute?"

"I've seen Eunuch Chen." Yu Jin immediately bowed.

The Silijian was the head of the "Twelve Prisons" in the inner court in the Ming Dynasty who managed eunuchs and palace affairs. His status was very special. The eunuch in front of him actually became an admiral, which shows that he was a very powerful eunuch.

Chen Hong said lazily, "Young Master Yu, hehe, you want to buy a house."

When I said I bought a house, why did I sneer "hehe" twice? I heard it, and I felt like I was getting cold and I got goose bumps.

"Yes, I want to find a suitable house to settle down."

"We have errands in the future, let's go." Chen Hong snorted coldly, and without waiting for Yu Jin to agree, he took the lead in walking forward.

Han Yi, the airs are really big.

I was so late, and I didn’t feel a little sorry. My face was as cold as frost, my voice was sarcastic, and I had no formal communication. It made people feel like some staff members in later generations had three difficulties: ugly faces, unpleasant words, and difficult to handle.

It is said that eunuchs have defects in their bodies, and their thoughts and behaviors will also have defects. Now that I think about it, this is not unreasonable.

After thinking about it, Yu Jin hurriedly followed behind.

Chen Hong was very familiar with the capital city and walked very quickly. He took Yu Jin and turned left and right. In less than half a quarter of an hour, he led Yu Jin into a somewhat dilapidated house in Yongchang Hutong. He took out a key from his waist to open the lock, pushed open the door, turned his head and glanced at Yu Jin, and said expressionlessly: "Young Master Yu, please."

"It's a blessing to Eunuch Chen." Yu Jin nodded and walked in.

There was a dilapidated door, and Yu Jin was a little relieved before he could enter. When he saw it, he felt even more heartbroken: this was a courtyard-style house with weeds in the front yard, and the doors and windows were dilapidated. There was a thick layer of dust everywhere. Many places were painted. None of the ten window papers were good, giving people a feeling of dilapidation, desolation, and decay.

"Hey, what is this?" Yu Jin felt strange when he saw a dark red mark on a white wall.

A long-faced waitress heard it and said indifferently: "Oh, this is a house of a criminal official. I heard that a concubine came to stop him during the search and was slashed in the head with a knife. The blood belonged to her. Those guys were really lazy, and they didn't do it clean."

What's the point of this

It turns out that this is a haunted house.

The gap between reality and ideal is too big. Yu Jin twitched his face and turned his head to Chen Hong and said, "Eunuch Chen, I."

Before Yu Jin finished speaking, Chen Hong interrupted him coldly and said, "Okay, since you are optimistic, then pay the bank, 500 taels."

I haven't said I want anything, and the price has not been negotiated yet, so I'll ask for five hundred taels

There is an ordinary courtyard house in Beijing, which is about fifty taels. This house uses a lot of wood, and the front yard has abandoned small gardens. It is also in a good location in Yongchang Hutong. It is 100 taels. Now, without saying a word, I ask for five hundred taels. Isn't this guy crazy?

Yu Jin felt a little unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "Eunuch Chen, this house is not very suitable, are we?"

"Random" Chen Hong suddenly scolded loudly: "What a bold thing. Do you think this is Caishikou and you want to buy it. Do you want to bargain? Tell you that this house belongs to the emperor. It is your blessing to buy such a house. It is not easy for me to go out of the palace. Today, you buy it, and you have to buy it if you don't. If you push it, hehe, don't blame our ruthlessness."

Yema, buy and sell

Yu Jin never dreamed that this matter would fall on him. He thought it was Zhao Jin's way, so these eunuchs would be more polite to him and then give him a big discount.

It seems that I am thinking too much, and thinking about it is true. Zhao Jin is the Zuodu Censor, so it is definitely not suitable to come forward. I guess it is a bridge that others come forward to build. This is the case. This eunuch actually made him wait for so long.

If you buy a broken and old haunted house for 500 taels, you will definitely vomit blood.

By the way, Yinzi, Yu Jin's mind was filled with inspiration and finally remembered the instructions of Butler Zhao Er.

Eunuchs cannot pass on their family line and are not favored by the world, so they attach great importance to yellow and white things. They all ask for money. Some people dare to steal it out and sell it in order to make money. Chen Hong's attitude has always been so arrogant, because he did not respect him in time.

"Eunuch Chen, Yu has a few words to ask, so please move your steps."

"What's the secret?" Eunuch Chen looked unhappy, but he still walked aside with Yu Jin.

As I walked, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Yu Jin smiled and said, "It's not easy for my father-in-law to walk along the way. It's a bit broken. My father-in-law and two elder brothers took it to drink a bowl of tea, just be careful."

Broken silver

Eunuch Chen had a little disdain in his eyes. He was about to speak, but suddenly felt a sank in his hand. When he opened his eyes, he saw that there was a yellow gold ingot in his hand. He gently flipped it, and the bottom was marked with the mark of Dasheng Money House.

This is a ingot of ten taels of gold, which is worth ten taels of silver. That is one hundred taels of silver. Even if Chen Hong is the supervisor of the Sili Supervisor, he would have to save it for at least two years.

Huge money.

"Well, it's a hot day, it's better to have some tea. Mr. Yu would be polite to our errands." Chen Hong calmly put the gold ingot into his sleeves and said with a kind look.

As he spoke, the wrinkles on the old face bloomed layer by layer like chrysanthemums, and his smile was as bright as summer flowers.

Compared to the face that was so slight that it was just now, it was as magical as changing his face.

No wonder the housekeeper Zhao Er specifically reminded himself that it would be easier to deal with these eunuchs, "Brother Kong Fang"'s face.

"Where do you need Eunuch Chen to take care of me?"

"Oh, our family remembered it." Chen Hong suddenly smiled and said, "There is another house in Yuan Lord's Hutong. If Yu Zi doesn't dislike it, let's go and have a look. You all know this house, so you will naturally choose until you are satisfied."

After collecting Yu Jin's gold ingots, Chen Hong suddenly became very enthusiastic.

"If you have time, my father-in-law will lead the way." I spent all the money, so how could I not go?

Yu Jin responded very happily. ~Search the basket colors and read the following chapters in the full text
