After hearing Wen Wan's words, the emperor became unhappy immediately.
The emperor had a straight face. Since he knew, he should have said it earlier. But now that I have brought it up, this girl is really lazy. However, in recent years, Haikou's officialdom has been relatively clear. The emperor couldn't help but said, "Since the establishment of Haikou, taxes have been increasing every year. The officials below are also very harmonious, and there are no major incidents."
The censor also came up with some documents, but the emperor kept them without publishing them. Compared with the original Yangzhou, things in Haikou were much better. The emperor also knew very well where there would be so many honest officials. Just put the bulk into the warehouse. Therefore, being an emperor also has the helplessness of an emperor.
Wen Wan couldn't help but laugh after hearing the emperor's words. The emperor's uncle really underestimated Haikou. Can Haikou be the same as Yangzhou? Yangzhou is a place where salt is produced and the place where salt tax is paid in the country. A piece of salt, there is nothing to play with. But Haikou is different.
Haikou is a trading city. If you hold 20% of the shares in a certain trading company, you will have people purchase goods from the trading company at wholesale prices and sell them elsewhere, plus gifts from merchants during the holidays. You know, even the gentle Guangyuan Trading Company sends gifts during New Years and holidays (all gifts from Guangyuan Trading Company must be of a certain level or above to be eligible). The sum of these zeros and zeros is not a small amount.
The situations Wen Wan mentioned are those officials who cherish and take a longer view. This does not include those who do not mind having too much money. Moreover, it was obvious that someone was behind this incident. They wanted to kill the powerful army in one pot, but Wen Wan couldn't retaliate, so she took the opportunity to kill them in one pot. Of course, what Wen Wan does requires the emperor's approval. The emperor shouldn't do it, everything is nonsense. But with Wenwan¡¯s understanding of the emperor. As long as the amount is large, it is impossible for the emperor not to check it (also due to your influence).
The result was as expected by the emperor. The emperor first asked Wen Wan to calculate the approximate amount of taxes each year, and then decided whether to investigate the officials in Haikou.
Wen Wan responded. After returning home, Wen Wan immediately wrote a letter to Bai Shinian. Didn't ask anything else. I just told Bai Shinian about it. What's more, this time the Huwei Army matter will fall on her.
?Major cases. The emperor would send imperial envoys there, and after examination, the prisoners would be escorted back to Beijing. After another review by Dali Temple, the emperor finally made the decision. This time was no exception. An imperial envoy was sent over first to escort the person back to Beijing.
Wen Wan was not idle during this period. One is to calculate the taxes that should be paid in these years, and the other is to understand the information of the middle-level generals of the Huwei Army. He also has to be busy with his two industries. Fortunately, Xia Yao and Xia Ying are in charge of everything in the mansion, otherwise Wen Wan would be really tired.
Bai Shinian received a letter from Wen Wan. The first thing to look for is whether there is a code at the end of the letter. But this time, there really is a secret code. After reading the code, Bai Shinian looked solemn. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said to Ye Xun: "The Huwei Army is going to be purged this time." The Wen family has been keeping an eye on this for several years. Finally took action. Bai Shinian breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Wan told him about this matter, but Wen Wan never stepped forward to take care of it. He could only watch.
Ye Xun can¡¯t do anything about it. This is thousands of miles away. And for matters that are not within his jurisdiction, no matter how many strategies he tries, they will be of no avail.
Bai Shinian glanced at Ye Xun, and Wen Wan wrote in the letter that the emperor should make the matter public this time. It took him so long to receive the letter, so the news should have spread. Shaking his head, he said helplessly: "You don't know that before I got married to Wen Wan, the emperor handed over the military power of the Huwei Army to Wen Wan. It's just that Wen Wan is lazy and unwilling to take over."
Ye Xun is also very determined. Even if he were told that the enemy was coming to the military camp, he would never frown. However, he was frightened by the news about Bai Shinian: "General, are you kidding me?" Above the history of Daqi. There is no princess in charge of the military (there was a queen mother who was in charge of the government, and she also held the military power, but this is not the case).
Bai Shinian was worried at first, but he was amused by Ye Xun's stupidity: "I can joke with you about such a big thing. At that time, Wen Wan was worried that marrying me would be risky, so she wanted the military power of the Huwei Army. She could let herself go in Haikou. If there is an emergency in the future, there will be a buffer time, and then the family can escape overseas smoothly. But Wen Wan has given up the idea now. "It's hard to leave my hometown. If he chooses, he will not leave even if he dies. But when it comes to that, he may not be willing to die.
Ye Xun was stunned for three minutes and then regained his composure. He began to question the last sentence: "Why did the princess give up her idea again?"
A smile appeared on Bai Shinian's face: "We husband and wife don't need to worry about ourselves, we just worry about them. When Wen Wan did this, he also wanted to leave a way out for the children. However, Wen Wan wrote to me and told me that both Mingrui and Mingjin They are smart children who can protect themselves with their abilities.Protect yourself. "As long as no one who has a grudge against their husband and wife comes to power, the Bai family will be safe and sound. If there is a grudge against him, then he will not be allowed to rise to power.
Ye Xun glared at Bai Shinian fiercely, never forgetting to show off his son's intelligence. There is no such arrogant man: "So, the princess is going to intervene in this matter?" After saying that, I felt that I had said nonsense. Since Princess Wenwan is the highest commander of the Huwei Army, she must take care of it: "Marshal Do you want to beg for mercy from the princess?" There was a hint of teasing in saying this.
Bai Shinian glanced at Ye Xun disdainfully: "Is Wenwan the kind of person who doesn't care about the law? If I go to intercede, I will be embarrassed for myself. But with Wenwan coming forward, I feel a lot more at ease. Those who violate the law The punishment is deserved, but I won't let the Wen family frame up other innocent people. As long as I can save most of the people, I feel confident that the army I built by myself is gone. So sad.
Ye Xun's eyes flashed: "Marshal, the county is in charge of the Huwei Army? Do you think the princess is asking for the Huwei Army for the marshal? Let the marshal take charge of it after the marshal returns."
Bai Shinian was stunned and then said with a smile: "Do you think Huweijun is gentle and can give it to whoever he wants? Wenwan doesn't understand military affairs at all. She was just for precaution. The real person in power is the emperor. . But it¡¯s really a good thing that Wen Wan intervened in Hu Weijun¡¯s affairs. "At least some people can be saved.
Ye Xun did not deny that this was a good thing. Now that the princess has intervened, Huweijun has nothing to worry about. Those who break the law deserve to be punished. Ye Xun became interested in another topic: "The smallpox incident last time scared me to death. What did the princess say?"
Not to mention the smallpox outbreak in the capital that frightened Ye Xun, it also frightened Bai Shinian. Bai Shinian couldn't sleep all night after receiving the news that many people in the capital were infected with smallpox. I am worried that my wife and children will also be infected, even though I tell myself that I won't. But don't worry. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well at night. Bai Shinian finally felt relieved after receiving news that the imperial court had developed a prescription to suppress smallpox.
Ye Xun has ten thousand questions in his heart. It is absolutely impossible for an immortal to entrust you with a dream. Such words can only deceive the common people, and he doesn't believe it. If the immortals were so good, they would all go to sleep for thousands of years. Now it came out: "Have the princess mentioned this matter to the general? The Bodhisattva entered the emperor's dream, which sounded strange." He didn't believe it ten thousand times.
Bai Shinian shook his head simply: "It doesn't matter if it's weird or not, as long as the recipe is useful." As long as it's useful and can benefit the people, it doesn't matter what the rest is.
Ye Xun glanced at Bai Shinian and said with a smile: "Do you know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking that this recipe is most likely the princess's idea." Seeing Bai Shinian want to refute, Ye Xun said with a smile. : "I don't believe in Bodhisattva or anything like that. If it were a real Bodhisattva or something, how could there be so many injustices in the world. I said it was the princess who caused it, but there is no basis for it. I don't know if you heard it, but there are even rumors that the princess is responsible. I became a disciple of a hermit master. It is said that Princess Wenwan herself admitted it. I would rather believe that the princess received the recipe from the master to save the world. "Ye Xun did not believe in the Bodhisattva Immortal. But believe in the hermit master.
Bai Shinian has also heard such a rumor, and in fact, Bai Shinian believes it in his heart. Otherwise, where did Wen Wan learn this extraordinary ability from ordinary people? It is impossible to know it from birth! It's just that Bai Shinian is different from other people, he won't ask. As long as it's something harmless to their couple, he will listen if Wen Wan is willing to say it. If he doesn't want to say it, he won't ask. This is a kind of respect for gentleness.
Ye Wen felt a little depressed when he saw that Bai Shinian had no curiosity at all. In fact, he really wanted to know what this hermit master looked like, what extraordinary abilities he had, how much the princess had learned, and how much he had yet to show (June said: This is also a gossip man).
After Bai Shinian had a conversation with Ye Xun, he returned to the study and wrote back to Wen Wan. Bai Shinian hopes to use this incident to regain his glory after the great purge of the Huwei Army. Hope is beautiful, reality is impossible. Wen Wan doesn't understand military affairs at all.
Wenwan sorted out all the information that Xia Ying had found and confirmed to be true. Then give it to the three children to read.
The three children were all shocked. These people have made countless contributions to the imperial court. But now, they are all prisoners. Mingjin was a little confused: "Mom, why did they end up like this?"
Wen Wan didn¡¯t tell the three people why.
Xia Yao felt that Wen Wan's tactics were very bad: "The child is still young, why should he come into contact with these things?"
????????????????????????????????????: "Lingyang is eight years old."??, it¡¯s time to get in touch with these things. Otherwise, you will fall far behind others. "
Xia Yao glared at Wen Wan, what are you talking about. The main one who teaches is Ling Yan, and then Ming Rui and Ming Jin are incidental. There is such a thing as a mother. Everyone favors their own sons, but the princess is just the opposite. She teaches Lingcheng all the skills, but not Mingrui or Mingjin. I don¡¯t know what the princess is thinking.
It¡¯s not that Xia Yao and Xia Ying hate Ling Chang. But compared with Mingrui and Mingjin, Lingcheng doesn't know where he ranks.
