Fan Xian gave a pained and helpless s old hen earns less each yearHow different is that froed it”

The previous head of the palace treasury transport was Huang YuanshuHis cousin, Huang Yi, was the leading strategist of the Eldest Princess in XinyangWhen Fan Xian took over the palace treasury, he didn'tThe two parties mixed like fire and water and were too lazy to coe of power paperworkIndeed, they were both typical bachelors

Dan Da didn't dare coe the Eldest PrincessHe said sincerely, ”As to why the profits are decreasing each year, one reason is because the costs of the three big workshops are growing larger and largerIncluding the head of the workshops, those treasurers are taking too muchSecond, the channels for export have had probleone wildNot to say too many, but at least one or two shi+ps out of then are captured on the seasThird is the probleo, the accounts were too led outNo one dared to investigate these thingsFortunately you acted and found evidence against the Cui familyWith this one act, you redeemed reat interest, but already he knew exactly as going onWhat pirates? It was just all a show of the Ming faoodsHe saw that Dan Da spoke then stopped, and asked curiously, ”What other reasons are there?”

Dan Da glanced at hiave a pained smile”Another reason is…the expenditures for the Council have grown too quickly these yearsYou know that all of the expenses of the Council come directly frorown in recent yearsRather, it is the Council who is spending tooto the previous reasons, with these expenses…no matter how much the palace treasury can make for the court, if it's needed everywhere, it is nowhere near as grand as it once was”

Fan Xian sucked in a cold breathHe hadn't expected that his own Overwatch Council was one of the va the palace treasury dryHe turned the inforht of the disciples in the Third Bureau who developed large-scale killing weapons every day and of the Second Bureau's crows that scout out es everywhereNo matter how they were outfitted, they always needed financial supportThe Fifth and Sixth Bureau were even worseThey were completely unconstructive and were only for destruction and a black hole yaoldEven if none of these Council businesses were counted, he had visited Chen Garden irls and lived a life of extravagance beyond that of emperorsAll this money was from the palace treasury

He shook his head and smiled bitterly”Don't ets out, that would be eate the other reasons”

Su Wen, thinking that the cohtforwardly

”I'll handle the export channel problem and the pirate problem, which removes two of the four problems” Fan Xian stared into Dan Da's eyes”I don't understand how the treasurers of the three big workshops could have such corruptionThese officials stay for a long tinan and can't leave without perhtly higher official salary the court gives them”

Dan Da did not dare meet his eyesHe lowered his head and said, ”The three workshops are responsible for all of the production in the palace treasuryThose items are all made by their hands, so…so…”

”So what?” Fan Xian's smile was cold”Do dare they to use that as a threat?”

”Naturally, they dare not to threaten” Dan Da gave a pained ses the palace treasury strictlyAll processes, materials, and methods are only known to the top-, s in their heads are like the court's silver-producing machinesIf they have any desire to do so, they could reduce the production of the palace treasuryThus, their position in the palace treasury has been sootten a bit arrogant”

”Oh?” Fan Xian narrowed his eyes with a hint of humorThose were once little helpers of the Ye fah ?” Fan Xian found this to be absurdly funnyHe chuckled and said, ”How did the Eldest Princess deal with these departht about it and furrowed his brow before answering”The Eldest Princess only asked that production levels not dropAs for the demands of the treasurers, she did her best to satisfy thereatly raised their statusesOf course, if the treasurers stepped too far out of bounds, the Eldest Princess had hertreasurers in one goFroh keeping silentAlthough they have little respect for us norainst the court”

Fan Xian sh statuses…then I'll have totheryIt was clear that his e like thisNo wonder the Emperor complained every day, and his father worried about the emptiness of the national treasury

Dan Da was startledThe coorous new policies, and thundered down his anger, then he would offend all of the treasurersNever ht not even be able to ensure their own production and quality of products

He stacked his hands and with seriousness said, ”Please consider it carefully, sirIt won't hurt to tackle it gently with a gradual approach”

Fan Xian so slowlyTen thousand years is too longWe must seize every anize thethe palace treasury bidsIf I don't bring the people under control in the palace treasury within these 10 days, hoill you s in the future? I don't have the mood to come visit here every day”

With a pained look Dan Da said, ”This e to control them on the surface, if they secretly meddle in the workshops, or they may not even need to meddle, they will be able to lower the production of the palace treasuryInvestigating won't s clearIn the end, this responsibility will have to be taken by you”

Fan Xian enjoyed the htforward tell-it-like-it-was attitude of speakingThe atmosphere with an official of the Overwatch Council was nan Road

He waved his hand to stop the other party's urgings”Don't be afraidIf we kill butcher Zhang, e have to eat pork with hair?”

Dan Da and Su Wenot his confidence froe of productionThis was not the Overwatch Council's forteSu Wenmao then remembered that the palace treasury was once the property of the Ye family, and his master was a descendant of the Ye familyPerhaps the commissioner had soHe only ordered the of the yah he was a little upset, he had tls of porridgeHe then invited Haitang to join him for a walk to the three workshops

His subordinates had prepared him a passEven if he didn't reveal his identity, there shouldn't be a proble with hi kind and wanted to extend the glory of the palace treasury to Northern QiHe needed Haitang, his strong bodyguard

The chickens crowed, and the belly of the sky hite

A shadow flitted across the back wall of the transport departation and returned to the study

Fan Xian had a serious expression and frowned”Nightly, there is song and ht, correct?”

Haitang was still im around the three large workshopsAlthough she didn't co military related, what she saw still stunned herSo that was how cloth was madeIt wasn't even done with manpowerInstead, they used some kind of water powerHow could the power of the river water be ta back to what she saw, she felt ad since disappeared into the waters of historyThe gaze she gave Fan Xian intensified

Wasn't Fan Xian the son of that Ye mistress?

Fan Xian was not as shocked as herThe initial novelty had worn offAlthough he still felt pleased about what his doe company frosIf it weren't for the fact that the Qing Euarded the production, these things probably would have lost their value long ago

Fan Xian could not be so shocked by a seratorsWhat shocked him was another matterThe treasurers of the palace treasury lived an extravagant lifeIf he could take the silver they were using, how o into the accounts?

What the Eldest Princess orried about didn't worry hiical h he was not born into the sciences, blowing solass wasn't too much of a problemMost importantly, it was not his fault that he had people behind hie was confidenceKnowledge was e on his first day in the palace treasury

Chapter 347 Arriving At ShundeTranslator Nyoi Bo Studio Editor Nyoi Bo StudioFan Xian s gaze swept over the trees beside the roadBehind them were endless fields, and not far aas the sound of a flowing riverHe looked further and further through all of this until his gaze landed on a big workshop some distance fro from itThey were not the clear smoke of a rural family, instead it was black smoke that carried a familiar se piece of land had all been taken into the palace treasury to do workTheir wages were rains, thus their focus on htenedIn the rains fought for growthIt looked verythe freshness in

fro hi put her hands in her sleeves like an old man and watched the handsome face by the ith furrowed browsShe also sank deep into thoughtThis young and powerful official what exactly did he want to do How do you feel she asked, seeing that Fan Xian s state of mind was unsettledFan Xian replied quietly, It should besht that the palace treasury of the Qing Kingdos I saw earlier, I couldn t even put naine you won t be able to go back ands eyesYou have such confidence in the palace treasury Fan Xian paused slightly then quietly said, It s not that I have confidence in the palace treasuryInstead, it s that if you could only look at the outside of these things that originally shouldn t have existed in this world and learn how towhat she had thought of, Haitang was quiet for a whileShe then said, The people in the palace treasury these days are all trusted aides of XinyangHow do you plan to take over Fan Xian s eyebrow arched and a light smile appeared on his faceWho cares whose people they wereNow, they are alllooked at hiainst them Fan Xian quieted down and became seriousThis question of yours seehtlyI trust that your mother in law is not a muddled person and not able to see clearly the current situationLogically speaking, no matter if it is you or her, you both have the desire to discuss anew and not get violentFurthermore, for your own interests, neither you nor her want to see you two have a falling outIf I don t have a falling out with her, I suspect that is not so you and the Northern Qi Emperor wants to seeFan Xian smiled cynicallyDon t worry, I won t make a new alliance with my mother in law and bully the orphans and s in your NorthHaitang was silent and didn t know if she believed him or notFan Xian was not concerned about the attitude of Northern QiAs long as there was the palace treasury, the Northern Qi people had to take hi said earlier, it didplayers in politics, any and all hatred and desire for revenge could be discarded in the face of a bargaining chip that offered a sufficiently large benefitSince Fan Xian and the Eldest Princess had Wan er in the middle to smooth the way, in eyes of the people, Fan Xian didn t have any reason not to accept a truce as long as the Eldest Princess illing to compromiseIn reality, the Eldest Princess had alreadyMountain, she truly felt Fan Xian s great power and had written a number of letters to try and reach this effectFan Xian had not accepted theaze from out of theand said quietly, the Eldest Princess is already willingly to accept the reality that I ae herHaitang suddenly raised her headHer bright eyes stared at Fan Xian s backShe didn t knohy he would reject a coFan Xian quietly explained, She wanted three tenths of the shares, and then she would cooperate with me to easily take over the palace treasuryThis condition was not de furrowed her brows and said, Not only is it not de, it could be considered a very sincere conditionOriginally from the perspective of my Qi court, the worse your relations with the Eldest Princess the better it would be for usHowever, froive you so royal family, and she is, after all, your ood conditionFan Xian slyIs it I don t believe soPerhaps it is because I believe, froht againststill did not understand his thoughtsThis is the business my mother left behindFan Xian smiled wareneration, but I cannot let this fae it beca quietly said, But the current treasury is now that of Qing courtThe court is only an illusory ie, Fan Xian saidWhat is the court The Eer The people Most importantly is what I can do with the palace treasury in my hands and on ill the money be usedIf if the court cannot use it well, then I will use it in the court s stead to change this illusory ihtly and said, You re playing the sage out of habit againFan Xian replied, I have told Yan Bingyun before, to occasionally be a sage is a very good supple clear the discussions he had in secret with the Eldest Princess and thus reassuring Haitang, Fan Xian sank into silence, absent the scenes outside of theThe watermills by the river, mechanical sounds from the workshop, and black s that unnamed desire in his heartSir, we have arrivedThe humble voice of the palace treasury transport official woke Fan Xian frohtsHe looked with soe and realized they had already reached the palace treasury transportHe quickly tidied his clothes, lifted the curtain, and ju the appearance an official should by slowly and steadily coe nervousness and excitement in his heartAfter all, he had finally arrived at the palace treasury where his mother had started the fa both feet on the hard earth, Fan Xian narrowed his eyes and considered everything around himHe found that on the side of the street was a nor like the Great Leap Forward scenes buzzing with activity he had iinedIt was a little cold and cheerless on the streets, although the buildings were new and beautifulIt didn t look like a worksiteThe official responsible for bringing thedou officials with this kind of expressionHe carefully explained, The three workshops are still soo down to inspect toinally planned to blow solass, weave soues today, but unexpectedly he had to wait another dayThe doors to the yamen were open wideThe palace treasury transport officials, as well as those of the Overwatch Council responsible for protection, split into two lines and welcomed the imperial envoyFan Xian walked in first, with Gao Da and a few Tiger Guards following silently behindThe group of about a hundred people were settled down in a short span of time, it looked like the palace treasury worked quicklyHaitang and Sisi were taken to the back residence, along with the girls they had bought along the wayThe long, cold and silent transport departreeted Fan Xian, they sat in the yamen in order and waited for Fan Xian to speak to themFan Xian was not familiar with the situation of the palace treasury, and this was his first tieHe indicated for Su Wen superfluous on his behalf before dis the next dayAfter returning to the back residence, he didn t even have time to familiarize himself with the manor before he summoned the leader from the Overwatch Council stationed there permanentlyThe official, Dan Da, was about 40 years old and had a head of white hairIt seemed like the defense work of the palace treasury drained the spiritHe indicated for the other party to take a seatWithout being superfluous, he directly said, Tell me about the situationDan Da was under the jurisdiction of the Fourth BureauSince autumn, he had received a secret letter froFan Xian s question today, he quickly told everything he knewHe understood that as this was Commissioner Fan s first trip to the palace treasury, he didn t have any trusted aidesIf he wanted to quickly control the situation, then Commissioner Fan needed to find someone he could trustSince Dan Da was an official of the Overwatch Council, he was close to the center of power and naturally had to cliiven his wellHe clearly explained the current situation of the palace treasury,workshops, and faction each treasury official treasury belonged toHe left out nothingWhy has the palace treasury suffered so many losses these few years Fan Xian was born with audaciousnessHe dared to ask this kind of question in an open way, not at all acknowledging the fact that it was not convenient for the Overwatch Council official in front of him to talkDan Da did not dare to be so bold in front of Fan XianAs a lower ranking official, how could he properly explain the matter of the palace treasury in just a few sentences However, he spoke with considerationIn reality, it can t be considered a lossIt is only that the taxes going to Jingdou have decreased by a few levelsFan Xian gave a pained and helpless s
