The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

The Supreme Emperor was talking to himself, Lin Hai didn't dare to answer the words, so he could only bow his head in silence, and missed the deep meaning in the Emperor's eyes.

"Then how much money has the Ministry of Households recovered in total now!" the Supreme Emperor asked.

"Returning to the Supreme Emperor, one million and 100 taels of silver has been recovered, and the rest of the silver is still being recovered." Lin Hai said respectfully.

The Taishang Emperor sighed, "I thought that when I was enthroned, I would go after the silver, but I didn't want my son to become the throne. The first thing I did was to go after the silver. Maybe in the future, when my grandson ascends the throne, the first thing he will do It is still a matter of recovering the money." The Taishanghuang's tone was a bit serious!

However, the Supreme Emperor also told the truth. Originally, when the emperor changed, it was a time of internal worries. If there were foreign troubles at this time, and there was no money in the treasury, wouldn’t this be a sign of the country’s destruction? How could this make the Supreme Emperor happy.

Even the emperor thinks so, but now there is no good way to cure the root cause, so we can only treat the symptoms temporarily!

Lin Hai felt a line of sight sweeping over him, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, actually, I have a way to cure the root cause, so as to make this happen as much as possible."

"Oh!" Both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were interested!

"Tell me quickly!" The Supreme Emperor urged.

Lin Hai smiled and said: "Actually, the method is very simple. It is to add a repayment date on the IOU, which cannot exceed five years at the most, so that the ministers will not have any chances in their hearts. Naturally, they will not go there unless it is a last resort. Borrowing. If there are fewer borrowers, there will be fewer people who follow suit! In this way, although the ministers can still borrow money from the treasury, they will change their minds when they have a day to repay the debt! "

Although Lin Hai is only on the IOU.Added one more thing.But this made the Taishanghuang and the emperor's eyes light up, what a way!

"Filial piety, loyalty, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame" is the essence of the moral education content of Confucius and his elders, and it is also the eight virtues of life, and it is something that has always been unspoken in this society.

Filial piety: it is filial piety.Filial piety to parents is the duty of being a child, and filial piety is to repay the kindness of parents for their upbringing.On a larger scale, it can be devoted to the country, which is also a great "filial piety".

Ti: Ti Jing.It is between brothers and sisters, that is, brotherly love.help each other.By extension, we should also treat friends with brotherly and sisterly feelings, so that conflicts between people can be eliminated.mutual humility.

Loyalty: It is loyalty.It is the duty of a citizen to be loyal to the country, that is, to be loyal to the motherland and the people. "Loyalty" also means being loyal to the organization and your job responsibilities.

letter: credit.Trust friends, keep your word to friends, and never lose your promise.When it comes to social service. "Words must be faithful and deeds must be respectful." What you say must be loyal and trustworthy, and you must not deceive others.What you do must be respectful.Do it seriously, absolutely not perfunctory.

Ritual: It is etiquette.We must be polite when we meet people, and we should abide by various rules.Be law-abiding (and polite as well).Students should salute when they see teachers, salute when they see their parents, and salute when they see guests.Not only do you need to salute on the surface, but you also need to be respectful in your heart. This is the embodiment of a person's moral cultivation.

Righteousness: It is righteousness.It means that people should have a sense of justice.Have the spirit of doing what is right, no matter who has difficulties.Do your best to help and solve problems.Be moral to your friends, be selfless and happy to help others, and have no intentions. (Of course, this is not the kind of narrow "brother loyalty", that is not righteousness, it is due to ignorance.)

Lian: It is clean.A person with integrity, no matter what he sees, he will not be greedy or want to take advantage of it, but will develop a spirit of impartiality and selflessness.

Shame: It is shame.Anything that is unreasonable and contrary to conscience will never be done.If a person is shameless, he is like a beast. "Shame" is also self-respect.Confucius said: "Knowing shame is close to being brave." Isn't it also a sign of courage to correct mistakes and do what is right?

Although, basically anyone who is literate knows this thing.But there are very few people who can really do it all.Even Lin Hai thought he couldn't do it.

Don't talk about other things, if you don't take advantage of the advantages, you are definitely a fool.

That is because this is the unspoken rule of this society, so Lin Hai was surprised to find out.Borrowing money from the treasury has never said when it will be returned.In our modern times, unless you are a very good friend, the date will be marked on the general IOU, and even if you are a friend, you will verbally state the date of return.

That's why Lin Hai came up with a trick. We modern people seem a little silly, but in ancient times, not many people noticed it.

Seeing Lin Hai retreating, the Supreme Emperor glanced at the Emperor, and said inexplicably, "You can understand!"

The emperor paused for a moment before nodding.

"You should also investigate the details of the Lin family!" The Supreme Emperor said with a half-smile.

The emperor was shocked, but he felt that he was making a fuss and investigating the details of his courtiers. Isn't this what every emperor should do?Why was he flustered, so he nodded his head as an admission!

"Do you think that I have been too lenient towards the Lin family! You even think that this Lin Hai has no ability at all, and it is all thanks to my support that he got into his current position?" Regarding the emperor's small thoughts, the Supreme Emperor still sees it. It's very clear, especially about the Lin family.

It's right to think about it, what did Lin Hai do to make the Supreme Emperor so satisfied!If it is said that Lin Hai's son-in-law is Yan Shenggong himself, there is nothing to say, after all, Lin Hai back then was indeed high-class regardless of his appearance, family background and talents.

But what should I say about the matter of Lin Ye and Yuan Lin, anyone with eyes knows that the matter inside is not that simple, but it involves the Supreme Emperor, so no one dares to delve into it!

When the emperor was the prince, he had dealt with Lin Hai several times. Although he didn't think he was incompetent at all, in the emperor's heart, he didn't think that Lin Hai couldn't afford the love of the overlord.

"You should know that he was the one who brought up the matter of the customs back then, and despite his dull appearance now, when Prince Yin Zhongyi and Qi Guohou were back then, he was very venomous!" The Supreme Emperor said surprisingly.

The emperor was shocked. If the common enemy of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor was not the people from the lineage of the Prince Zhongyi and the Marquis of Qi, the father and son had a very tacit understanding in this matter, suppressing Zhongyi without leaving any traces. The remnants of the Prince and Marquis of Qi.

"What's going on here?" the emperor asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Do you still remember what happened to the Marquis of Qi?" the Supreme Emperor asked.

The emperor nodded, it wasn't because someone beat the drum and sued Qi Guohou for reselling military supplies to make money and kill him, and then the Supreme Emperor took down Qi Guohou and Prince Zhongyi in one fell swoop.Suddenly, the emperor raised his head and glanced at the Supreme Emperor. Could it be that the person who went to sue Qi Guohou back then was not the Supreme Emperor, but arranged by Lin Hai.

The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "I figured it out! Don't look at him with a well-dressed appearance. In fact, he has more eyes than anyone else. I have made him a inspector for more than ten years, and you are in charge of the household department. One year, I was worried about the salt tax. When the official salt was robbed, the four salt areas were stepping up their efforts to produce salt. [-]% more official salt was produced. Do you think this is something that a person with little ability can do?"

Hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, the Emperor suddenly realized that, yes, when he was in charge of the household department, he knew that when taxes were accumulated everywhere, the salt tax was always paid on time. Over the years , he is used to it, so he doesn't think there is any problem.But when Taishanghuang pulled it out so deliberately, the emperor immediately felt the difference.

"Then why is he like this now?" The emperor was a little puzzled, seeing Lin Hai's idea just now, he had no talent, but why every time in front of him, Lin Hai always acted honestly look.

The Supreme Emperor laughed and said: "Because he understands that he is not your confidant, he is my confidant!"

The emperor frowned, did he understand what the emperor said.Lin Hai knew that he would not treat him as a confidant, so he deliberately hid his clumsiness!This made the emperor a little displeased, thinking that Lin Hai looked down on him.

The Supreme Emperor glanced at the emperor, shaking his head in his heart, he was also an emperor, how could he not know these small thoughts?Then he said: "Don't think that he doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. Ask yourself, have you ever thought about treating him as your confidant?"

When the Supreme Emperor said this, the Emperor was a little embarrassed. To be honest, the Emperor hadn't really thought about it.

"The Lin family heard that it is a scholarly family that has been handed down since the Tang Dynasty. There are only thousand-year-old families in this world, but no thousand-year dynasty. The family has its own pride. Look at the Tang Dynasty. Li Shiming wanted to marry seven families for the prince. The woman with the five surnames is the crown princess, but it turned out to be rejected. In the eyes of these aristocratic families, imperial power is nothing more than that. They are a family that can survive consecutive troubled times. Participate in royal affairs."

These words were extremely sharp, and the emperor felt uncomfortable for a while, but it happened to be a historical fact.Anyone who is a reader knows.What can he say?

Glancing at the emperor's appearance, the Supreme Emperor continued, "As a family, what we are best at is not fighting for power, but protecting ourselves wisely. Otherwise, why do you think Shengyan Shenggong fell in love with Lin Hai at a glance back then? The Lin family at that time , not as good as now."
