Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"The silver and money expenditure account books of the mines in various places as of the end of November have been submitted. Please review them, Your Majesty." Song Zhong said seriously, but although his face did not show any emotion, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

His Majesty had given him the task of mining several months ago.

In the past few months, His Majesty has been busy with state affairs and hasn't paid much attention to the account books. Now he suddenly asks him for the account books of the mines in various places...

"It's almost the end of the year. If it's a routine audit, it should be done in December of next year... but we have to close the accounts by November, which is obviously very urgent..."

Song Zhong muttered to himself that even though he had worked with Zhu Yunhuan for such a long time, he was still not sure what Zhu Yunhuan wanted to do.

However, as the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Moreover, the young emperor in front of him is a man of far-sightedness who never does meaningless things.

"Carry him in." Zhu Yunhuan stood up and simply sat cross-legged on the couch, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Following Zhu Yunhuan's order.

A box of medium size was carried in. After all, it had only been a few months since the large-scale mining began, so such a large number of account books had not been accumulated yet.

Ma Sanbao stepped forward and tore off the seal for Zhu Yunhuan, then took the account books and placed them one by one on the coffee table next to the couch.

Zhu Yunhuan picked up the account book casually and flipped through it nonchalantly.

At the same time, he said to Ma Sanbao, "Go and call Zhuo Jing over to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ma Sanbao responded, and then left the Qianqing Palace, leaving Song Zhong and Zhu Yunhuan behind.

Song Zhong nodded and stood aside, not daring to say anything else, but he couldn't help frowning and thinking secretly in his heart: "Zhuo Jing? This name sounds familiar..." As the commander of the Jinyiwei, he was very busy most of the time, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Listening to the occasional sound of pages turning in the Qianqing Palace, Song Zhong thought for a long time before remembering who it was: "Isn't this the director of the Internal Audit Bureau that His Majesty specially established earlier? Audit... Could it be... that there is something wrong with these account books?"

Compared with the Jinyiwei, the Industrial Department, the Alchemy Department, the Media Department and other departments that are often discussed or criticized, the so-called Internal Audit Bureau is indeed less eye-catching and can even be ignored.

Thinking of who Zhuo Jing was, Song Zhong's heart suddenly tightened. After all, the coal mining was handled by his subordinates. He was under the supervision of Zhu Yunhuan. In addition to salary, he also received rewards. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to do anything to anger Zhu Yunhuan.

But he couldn't guarantee the people below him...

Song Zhong glanced at the young man who was leisurely sitting cross-legged on the soft couch and looking through the account book. He suddenly felt that the charcoal stove next to him was too hot, so hot that he broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Others think he is a willful and dissolute man, and at first glance he does look like a willful and dissolute man, but he is not!

Song Zhong suddenly felt like ants were crawling on his body, but he didn't dare to disturb Zhu Yunhuan. He could only stand there feeling uneasy. The account books were being slowly turned over, and he suddenly felt that time was extremely long.

It seemed like an extremely long time had passed.

Only then did they finally hear the vermilion lacquered door being pushed open with a creaking sound, and Ma Sanbao and an unfamiliar face hurried in, swept by the wind and snow. "Your humble servant, Zhuo respectfully, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

"Tell me, what kind of feedback did the people you sent to the major mines give you?" Zhu Yunhuan didn't look up, still flipping through the account book in his hand.

Coal mining was the first major national project that came under his supervision, and generally speaking, projects involving such high expenditures had a lot of room for maneuver, so he had to pay special attention.
