Chapter 1772 Humerus
The emperor felt that he was short of manpower. He looked at Yin Li and sighed, "Shoujie, you must take care of yourself. I don't have many people I can use right now. It's a pity that your son is not in good health. Otherwise, if he took your place in the future, the crown prince would not be without someone to rely on..."
Yin Li said, "Your Majesty, you worry too much. Our Great Jin is full of talented people, and you have expanded the imperial examination system. In the future, there will be more and more people to be employed. I, your son... I can no longer share your worries."
The emperor suddenly came to his senses. He pointed at the food on the table and said, "Everything in this world is like this. Look at Yang Chao. It's a pity that he has a good son. Neither you nor I can compare to him in this respect."
The emperor clicked his tongue and shook his head, looking down on the other party but also feeling a little envious.
Yin Li thought about it for a while before he came to his senses. This meant that they felt that Yang Chao was not as good as the two of them, but he had a good son; and they also felt that the two of them were much better than Yang Chao, but they didn't have a good son?
Yin Li was speechless for a long time, thinking to himself: Fortunately the prince is not here, otherwise there would be another quarrel.
The emperor was only a little jealous for a moment, but he soon regained his composure and felt that his prince was not such a bad person now.
Seeing that the emperor had returned to normal, Yin Li continued, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Yang Chao?"
"What can I do with him?" the emperor snorted coldly. "The heads of the Cui, Wang, and Lu families have all come to the palace, but there's no evidence to prove his involvement. If he's implicated, all he'll get is a fine or confiscation."
"Yang Heshu's side..."
The emperor's eyes fell on the official documents on the table. They were brought by the prince and were what Yang Heshu had found in the Ministry of Revenue over the past year.
If it weren't for the things he gave, the emperor would not have known that the Ministry of Revenue had leaked so many things from Jiangnan over the years, and that the people of Jiangnan had been supporting their families.
This person is indeed talented, the prince also said he is useful...
"If he wants to go to Xiazhou, then let him go," the emperor said. "I originally wanted to make him a governor, but now I think it's better not to, lest he be pushed to the forefront. As he wishes, I will choose a county in Xiazhou for him. After a few years, when this matter has faded, I can let him return step by step."
The emperor murmured, "If he can keep his original aspirations, he will surely be the crown prince's right-hand man in the future."
Yin Li nodded in agreement, feeling a little envious of Lord Yang. The emperor was right. Although Yang Chao had average abilities, he had given birth to a good son.
If his son is in better health, he will surely be no worse than Yang Heshu in time.
Now it was Yin Li's turn to be in a bad mood, but unfortunately the emperor didn't notice. He kept talking to him about family matters for a long time before letting him go.
Bai Shan returned home and took out a package from the cloth bag on the horse's neck. Man Bao and Bai Erlang were particularly curious, "I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, what is this?"
Bai Shan said, "I don't know either. Brother Yang just gave it to me. He said that it might be useful if we ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to local medical offices in the future."
The three of them went to the study together. Bai Shan opened it and found a stack of papers inside. He flipped through it and found that it was a bit messy and sloppy, and looked more like a draft.
Manbao took some and looked at it. Bai Erlang looked at it for a while and asked, "Why is there such a mess on it? Is this money?"
He asked, pointing to a number.
Bai Shan flipped through several sheets and said hesitantly, "It seems to be the salt tax collected by the Ministry of Revenue from a certain place, as well as the prices of some other things. It's so confusing."
Manbao scratched his face and asked, "Shouldn't the Ministry of Revenue keep this thing? Isn't it against the rules for Brother Yang to give it to us?"
Bai Shan paused, then immediately understood. He put away all the manuscripts, ran to the door, looked around, and found that there were only two servants in the yard. He immediately went back to the house and closed the door, whispering, "This is definitely against the rules. Don't tell anyone about this."
Bai Erlang was stunned. "Since it's against the rules, why did Brother Yang give it to us?"
Manbao said thoughtfully, "Because he wants us to do it?"
Bai Shan said: "Because we may need it in the future."
Manbao wrinkled his nose and said, "That's not right."
Bai Shan had already put the things away, "Yes, it's wrong, so we can't tell anyone."
Manbao: ...That's not what she meant.
Bai Shan asked, "Then what else can we do? Should we go to the Censorate or the Ministry of Revenue to denounce Brother Yang?"
Manbao thought about it and shook his head.
After a while, the three of them sat together and sighed. Manbao said, "No wonder there are always people in official circles who abuse their power for personal gain and bend the law. We are currently doing just that."
Bai Shan nodded in agreement, "Humanity is indeed a double-edged sword."
Bai Erlang also admired him and said, "That's why people like Lord Wei are so rare. He can not only be strict with others, but also be strict with himself."
Manbao and Baishan nodded together and sighed, "It's so rare."
Bai Shan said, "The manuscript is too messy and it's not convenient to take it out. I'll study it first and then sort it out and show it to you."
Because this might involve the Imperial Medical Bureau, Manbao was still very interested, so he nodded in agreement.
Because he had experienced the rarity of strict self-discipline, Manbao went to the three provinces after the holiday, hoping to meet Lord Wei by chance and pay his respects to him again.
As it turned out, Lord Wei was not at home, and the gatekeeper told her, "Lord, he has gone out on an inspection tour."
Manbao looked up at the gloomy sky and asked, "Are you going on patrol in this weather? It's winter."
"Who says it's not? But this is His Majesty's order. Lord Wei has to go even if he doesn't want to."
Manbao could only return to the palace with regret.
At noon, while they were having lunch, Bai Shan sighed and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone out of the capital on another errand. Without His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Kong Jijiu immediately set his sights on us. We've all been scolded for the past half day."
Manbao asked curiously while eating, "What did you say?"
"He scolded us for being slow-witted and not diligent enough," Bai Shan said, and Bai Erlang's shoulders slumped with each word, until they collapsed completely. They both sighed, "And then Kong Jijiu assigned us a lot of homework."
Bai Shan even stretched out his hand to show Man Bao his fingers. "I've been writing all day. Do you think they're swollen now?"
Manbao stared at his white and slender fingers for a while and shook his head, "Where is it swollen?"
Bai Erlang on the side stretched out his hand and said, "Look at mine!"
Manbao was surprised, "Why is yours swollen?"
Bai Shan lowered his head and went to eat.
Yin Huo couldn't help laughing out loud. Bai Erlang said with a look of grief and indignation, "He was trying to snatch my homework from me and pinched my hand."
Bai Shan raised his head and frowned, "I grabbed my homework. It fell to the ground, and when you went to pick it up, you pressed it against the table. There's a crack in the corner of the table, and you got caught in it yourself."
"You pushed the table, otherwise how could I have gotten caught?"
Good night
