138. The new official takes office with three fires

The Ministry of Household is equivalent to today's Ministry of Finance. And the post of the head of the household department is equivalent to the current Minister of Finance. The household department is in charge of the territory, land, household registration, taxation, salaries, and all financial matters of the country.

It can be said that the household department is the largest department of oil and water, but at the same time it is the most difficult department to manage, because it involves the ministers' affairs, so the forces in it can be said to be intricate. But now that Ling Yuntian is the head of the household, he will naturally look at the household department closely.

People in the past seem to know him, and when they see him, they say that adults are good. This made Ling Yuntian puzzled, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be many people who knew him on the first day. Later, I found out that it was the original Tobe Shangshu who said that the new person who came today was the one who succeeded him as the Tobu Shangshu, so call the adult when we meet.

There are only 3 high-level people in the household department, including Ling Yuntian. One of them is the original Hubu Shangshu Wood, and the other is the Hubu Shilang Lin Yifei. Wood and Lin Yifei are also old people in the Yongzheng period, although they are in their 30s this year, but the people who have followed Emperor Yongzheng, the emperor of the family, naturally have some ways to deal with these things, but if they are not excessive, they will not say much.

"I've seen the prince," the two said together.

"Okay, you are also the old people of the Yongzheng Emperor period, and you must have considered the work of the household department very comprehensively, and I hope we can jointly manage this department well. Okay, don't be too outward-looking. Although I am King Ling, do I have the position of the head of the household, and besides, the kid is newly appointed, and I will ask the two of you to take care of one or two in the future" Ling Yuntian said politely.

"The adults have won the prize" After all, the two of them will naturally not lose their manners.

"Okay, okay, don't shirk it anymore. Please sit down, I just came today to learn about the situation of the household," Lingyun Tiandao.

Wood and the two looked at each other, a little hesitant. They understood that the person in front of them was absolutely scheming, so maybe the household could be more clear under his leadership, so they were ready to tell the truth.

Lin Yifei said: "Lord Qiqi, then the official will tell you the truth."

Ling Yuntian heard it, thought about it for a long time, and then said, "Okay, I probably know the situation." I, the new official, will naturally have three fires when I take office, first, I will explain to the Ministry of Internal Affairs later, the monthly routine of each month is fixed, if any of you loses your temper and messes up the things in your palace, you will make up for it for free for the first time. The second time, if you want to, you can either use your own treasurer to fill the vacancy, or you will not use it empty, even if your majesty will follow this rule.

Second, all expenditures of more than 1 million taels must have my consent, otherwise I will not be able to produce money, if you want, let him find me, in short, if it can't be solved, push it to me.

Thirdly, within this month, all the officials who have lent money from here will return the money, otherwise I will visit it myself, but then it will not be as simple as just repaying the money. Okay, that's all for the time being, and I'll think I'll add it later. I wonder what you two think of my three articles? Ling Yuntian took a sip of tea, frowned but still didn't say anything, waiting for the two of them to recover from the shock.

"This, Prince Ling, these seem to be" Lin Yifei hesitated a little.

"Some go against the ancestral system? Hehe, it's okay, anyway, you just do what I command. Besides, the first two items are not in a hurry to be implemented now, understand? Ling Yuntian said solemnly, those moths are the top priority.

Xia Guan understood, "It is worthy of being a royal child, this momentum, look, it is worthy of King Ling." Anyway, in the end, he couldn't make mistakes on their heads, so he obeyed orders.

"Oh yes, the tea here doesn't taste right, go to my place to get some good Longjing back. Okay, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do," Ling Yuntian left the household yamen refreshed.

He was refreshed, but after these three orders, the first two have not shown any problems yet, after all, the first one is mainly aimed at the masters in the palace, and the second is aimed at the disaster relief army, and it will take a long time for these two to show their strength. As for the last one, it surprised the ministers.

Since Emperor Yongzheng raided his home, the accounts on the treasury have been settled, and after Qianlong ascended the throne, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect of things. In just one year, the foreign debt lent out was as high as 500 million taels, and it is conceivable how much the ministers borrowed more or less.

But as soon as Ling Yuntian's policy came, those who owed less were immediately repaid. Some people are raising funds, but some people have made up their minds not to change, these people have actually condensed into a rope after discussion, but they are waiting to see the joke of this Ling King. But are things really going their way? Naturally not.

When Ling Yuntian heard this, he smiled disdainfully. As far as their little plan is nothing more than the heart of not holding the law accountable, Ling Yuntian can deal with them with his eyes closed. Hmph, I'll show you this time.

This group of people is mainly from the second grade Fang Tong and the second grade Lin Gang, and the size involves 18 officials, accounting for two-thirds of the arrears this time, so they must be visited by Ling Yuntian.

When Ling Yuntian arrived at Fang Tong's Mansion, it was naturally a greeting. After the matter was over, Ling Yuntian turned back to the right path: "Lord Fang should know the intention of this king."

Fang Tong was stunned, as if he didn't expect Ling Yuntian to be so direct, and said with some embarrassment: "The prince said that he was joking, but the prince, there really isn't so much silver in his hands."

Ling Yuntian was disdainful in his heart, but he still said on his face, "Okay, since Lord Fang said so, I can't be reluctant, but I can't let me come for nothing." In this way, let me say a method, this is my final bottom line, if I don't agree, then Lord Fang, I will have to deal with it according to the law."

"Lord Wang, please speak"

"Okay, then let's set a base number, just take 10 yuan as the base, pay 10 yuan in the first month, and then you pay on this basis every month, multiply it by 5 every month, and the second month is 50 yuan, and then continue to multiply it by 5 on this basis, and the term is 3 years?"

The first month is 10 yuan, the second month is only 50 yuan, 3 years is 3 years, what's the big deal. "Okay, then follow the law of the prince" Fang Tong thought about it and agreed.

"Okay, let's sign the contract then," the two of them divided into two copies, one for each as evidence.

Then the two happily drank and talked. In the next few days, those who did not repay the money signed contracts with Ling Yuntian one after another, and the punishment was to deprive the other party of all their property and drive them out of the capital.

When Fang Tonglin and the others understand in the future, their intestines will be repentant, but there is no way, if they can't pay the money, they will confiscate all the property, get it, sell it, save money and pay it back. But three years, oh my God, how will I live in the future? Later, a few people went to ask Ling Yuntian, and Ling Yuntian let them go. We will not go into detail about these things.

In short, the new official took office with three fires, this fire, even the emperor had to be soft later, there was no way, the only person Qianlong was afraid of at that time was his younger brother, what are the details, and take a look slowly
