Since the day when the bank of the treasury in each province is about to be released, a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue Bank were secretly happy: According to the Ministry of Revenue, there is a 60 taels of silver for every 10,000 taels of silver (equivalent to the handling fee), and this amount is shared by the banking and treasury officials, doctors, officials, and pens.

Forty-two thousand taels of silver are more than 2500 taels. Even if it is not as good as the officials of the Ministry of Revenue can get from military reimbursement, the advantage is that there are few people and more meat, so there is no need to worry about not being able to relieve one's desire.

From the evening of the third day of the second month to the morning of the sixth day of the second month, soldiers in military uniforms patrolled back and forth in front of the streets of the Ministry of Revenue. It is not surprising that the people at the feet of the emperor have seen a lot of people at the feet of the emperor. They all know that these few days of each year are the days that the officials of various provinces have obtained, and this is true.

Yisai Shanga (he is the minister of the Military Affairs Office), Weng Xincun, Zeng Guofan, Shu Xinga, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the doctor of the Yinku warehousing, Du Han, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Yinku affairs department, Xien, the right official of the infantry commander, Zai Quan, Sushun, Lu Yougong and others have been very busy these days. Not only are there a few people taking turns to join, Zeng Guofan is also carrying a very important mission!

After meeting the Military Affairs Office on the 28th of last month, Zeng Guofan and Weng Xincun and other six departments of the Ministry of Revenue submitted signs for the six halls of the Ministry of Revenue. It was also about the transfer of the treasury silver to Beijing. According to usual practice, the emperor just met everyone and explained it. However, this time, after meeting, the emperor once again kept Weng Xincun and Zeng Guofan. The emperor discussed secretly for a long time, but it was still unknown what they were talking about. However, when he saw Weng Xincun again, the old man's face was neither red nor white, which made everyone suspicious.

By dawn on the seventh day of the second month, all the treasurys of the six provinces were released into the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue. The Six Halls of the Ministry of Revenue and the Infantry Commander's Office were admirals. The left and right wings were all in full. They walked into the door of the treasury behind the Ministry of Revenue Street, and lanterns were lit inside, which was irritated. Under the brightness, the head of the treasury, doctors, from the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, were nervously doing the final inventory and calculation. The sound of abacus like a burst of beans was crackling and crackling.

The Guangxi Chief Secretary, who was managing the money law, was surnamed Zhao. When he saw several people walking into the main hall, he hurriedly stood up: "Please pay tribute to you, sir!"

"Master Zhao, have all the deposits obtained by each province already been put into the warehouse?"

"If you go back to the hall, you haven't even had the silver shipped from Jiangxi checked the amount. Once it is clearly checked, it can be put into the warehouse."

"Okay, let's wait here until all the money is put into warehousing, and then submit the decree to the emperor."

"Yes, yes." Director Zhao agreed, invited everyone to the hall, ordered someone to take a hot hand towel, brewed hot tea and served it. He accused himself of his crime and went back to do things again.

Kuyin explained that it was the most important thing of the Ministry of Revenue. He often couldn't rest for several nights, not to mention that Weng was in his sixties. Even if Du Han and others were comforting him, the old man refused to go back to his house to rest. It seemed that he regarded this matter more important than anything else. Zeng Guofan knew the reason well, but he did not persuade him, which made others deeply dissatisfied, believing that he had no friendship with his colleagues and had no virtue of respecting the elderly.

Several people wiped their faces, drank a few sips of tea, and sat in the lobby of the banking and treasury office in a daze until dawn, Chief Zhao walked into the hall again: "Please greet the elders."

"How is it, Mr. Zhao, has the inventory been completed?"

"Yes. When I say that, I have already counted it. I will only be closed after I enter the warehouse."

Weng Xincun rose up and nodded as usual: "Okay, we are about to pay attention to the silver entry into the warehouse."

"Sir!" Master Zhao mistakenly stopped everyone: "Silver is just a rough man who moves and lifts. Moreover, before the Yin Ding was doing things, he was always naked and indecent. How many adults shouldn't watch it?"

"It's okay to do it, it's okay to do it." Weng Xincun insisted on seeing that Zhao naturally could not stop him. He immediately led everyone out of the main hall and turned backwards to the corridor. In front of him was the Ministry of Revenue Banking Courtyard. Entering the courtyard, eight young and strong men walked into the warehouse naked.

According to customization, the kuding in the silver warehouse cannot wear clothes and enter the silver warehouse. This is also to bring the disadvantages of private hiding. There are clothes for everyone in the silver warehouse. After putting them on, they still have to take them off after being transported to show selflessness.

Soon, Kuding was dressed neatly and walked out of Kuchun again, and knelt down on one knee to Du Han, the doctor in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, who was in charge of the prefecture of the Ministry of Revenue, and said, "Please pay tribute to the Lord!"

"Today is the last day for the treasury banks of various provinces to Beijing. It is listed as a hard work. After the work is over, I will invite everyone to have a drink at the casserole to give you a reward!"

"Thank you for your reward."

"Every time you transfer the treasury silver, there will always be a number of inconsistent things. I will say something more here: Everyone should bear more responsibility: As a treasury, don't do such things as treasury. You must know that the national law is brilliant and the way of heaven is like a furnace. If one is found out, it will be a serious crime of destroying the family and killing the people!"

"Yes! Thank you for your teachings, I know."

The silver ingots transported to Beijing in each province are of different quality and quantity. Generally speaking, the money and grains of each province must be entrusted by the vassal yamen of each province to refuel and make the collected silver into a fifty taels of ingot, except for those in Jiangxi Province.

The "official treasure" in Jiangxi Province is to cast a round ingot of ten taels per one, which is shaped like a steamed bun and has smooth edges. It is commonly known as the "powder ingot". It is said that Kuding likes this kind of silver the most because it is easy to stuff it into the valley and be sucked out.

Open the silver box and ask several adults to check it out. The neatly stacked silver ingots were clearly visible in the bright light, shiny, bright and cute. After looking at it for a while, Sai Shanga and others took a step back, nodded, and signaled that they could start.

These Kuding are all doing old chores, with light and steady steps. In an hour, the thirty-five silver boxes originally placed in the yard were put into the silver warehouse as soon as possible. Seeing that the silver was all in the warehouse, Du Han ordered a long bench to be placed at the door and wait for Kuding to leave the warehouse.

When Kuding came out, he was naked as usual, with his feet crossing the long bench, his hands raised to the sky, and shouted: "Come out!" This is to show people the armpits, and there is no selfish hiding in their mouths.

Who knew that it was at this moment that Weng Xincun suddenly took a step forward: "Wait a minute!"

The sudden shouts shocked everyone and turned to look over, "I am in charge of the ministry affairs. I have long heard that there is a private hiding in the Ministry of Revenue's bank treasury, but there is no evidence. The emperor is well aware of the seriousness of the Ministry of Revenue's shortcomings, and it is also related to the lifeline of the country's branches. I ordered my official and Lord Zeng to thoroughly investigate the matter."

He paused for a moment, his eyes swept across several Kuding's faces, "Everyone is also a member of the state ministry. He should be the court and the emperor in his actions, and even more so for you to leave a decent amount for you. Today's affairs, if someone has the silver in his body, he should report it himself, and I should also be lenient. When the soldiers start to find it out, it will not be so simple."

The crowd of Kuding stood naked in the wind and looked around, covering his lower body with his hands unnaturally. The scene was funny and sad.

However, although everyone's expressions were different, none of them were willing to stand up and report. After a moment of stalemate, Weng Xincun waved his hand vigorously: "Come!"

The soldiers and soldiers from the Nine Gate Admiral’s Office were novel and funny looking at this scene. They were stunned for a moment before agreeing: “Here!”

"Check these people one by one!"

"Wait a minute!" The head of Kuding said loudly: "Sir Shangshu, as Kuding, although we are a lowly servant, we are also members of the imperial court. Without any evidence, we do this kind of thing and spread it out. It is of great importance to the court. Please think twice!"

It would be fine if you meet someone who doesn’t understand the reason, but Weng Xin has been in the ministry for a long time, so how can he not understand how reckless this is? He turned around in embarrassment and looked at Zeng Guofan. The latter took the step forward and said loudly: "I don’t need certificates. The emperor’s will is certificates! People come, search one by one!"

"Zhe!" agreed, but a group of soldiers and soldiers were each wearing their feet. Such a thing was really the first time. Although they were both men, they could not help but wince when checking such places.

Zai Quan had already talked with Weng Xincun in advance, and Zeng Guofan was not ashamed of his voice, so he shouted loudly from the side: "What are you waiting for?"

"Ah, yes!" The chief official spoke, and everyone did not dare to neglect any more. They rushed forward. With a few Kuding shouts, they put eight people down, spread their legs, and tried to check them one by one. Soon, a soldier shouted: "Ah! There is, there is, there is, there is, there is!"

The companion next to him leaned over, right? There was a large area of ​​shiny things in the valley. Isn’t it just that there was silver hidden in his body? “Ah, it was hidden very deeply! It really is!” The soldier laughed and laughed.

Weng Xincun and others turned around at the beginning of the action, and then turned around when they heard the laughter of the soldiers: "Is there any gain?"

"If you want to know, there are six people who have hidden silver in their bodies."

"Very good! Take out the Tibetan silver...." Weng Xincun stuttered and said, "I want to go to the palace with Lord Sai to report this to the emperor. Lord Zeng, I will temporarily entrust you here."

"yes!"
