The seven ministers traveled together, and soon left the palace and returned to their respective yamen, Zhang Feizi also had his own left prime minister's mansion, but compared to the right prime minister's mansion, the left prime minister's mansion was relatively small, but Zhang Feizi was already very satisfied.

Tobe Yamen!

The household yamen is located on the north side outside the palace, covering an area of 100 acres, there are more than a dozen courtyards in the household yamen, each courtyard is responsible for different things, some are responsible for the territory, some are responsible for taxes, some are responsible for fertile land and so on.

At this time, the household department was very busy, and busy officials could be seen running back and forth with a large pile of paperwork at all times.

"Lord Shangshu!"

"I've seen Lord Shangshu!"

As soon as Jia Luo walked into the household yamen, the household officials who were busy in the yamen saluted one after another, Jia Luo just nodded and went straight to the main hall with an expressionless face, the main hall is where he handles official business, but it is not his first main hall, but it is used by officials above the principal.

The main hall is divided into three side halls, left, middle and right, and the one that belongs to Jia Luo is the middle hall, after Jia Luo entered the main hall, he did not directly sit in the middle hall to deal with official business, but came to the left side hall, and the officials in the left side hall did not notice that Lord Shangshu was coming, because they were so busy that they forgot everything around them and were completely immersed in official business.

After coming to the left side hall, Jia Luo's eyes scanned back and forth on the officials in the left side hall, and found Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling, who were working hard, and then shouted: "Zhang Gui is in charge, Zhang Ling is in charge!" ”

When Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling heard the call, they hurriedly raised their heads, and the rest of the officials also subconsciously looked up, and when they saw that it was Jia Luo, they hurriedly got up from their seats, bent down and saluted: "The lower officials meet Lord Shangshu!" ”

"Sit down!" Jia Luo pressed his hand expressionlessly, and all the officials sat back in their seats obediently, Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling were full of doubts, not understanding why Jia Luo called him two brothers, only to hear Jia Luo's tone not light or serious: "Your Majesty announced that you have entered the palace, hurry over, don't delay the important matter!" ”

As soon as they heard this, many officials present couldn't help but feel envious, jealous and hateful, it is good to have a father who is the prime minister, from a businessman to a six-grade principal, and now His Majesty has announced that they have entered the palace.

I have to say that because Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling two brothers are airborne, many low-level officials hate them, thinking that the two brothers have robbed them of their positions, but because of Shangshu Jia Luo and Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Feizi, they don't dare to make a mistake, so they can only scold a few times in their hearts.

"Oh? Your Majesty summoned us? ”

"For what?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and they could see the doubts in each other's eyes, Jia Luo looked at the two of them and immediately couldn't help but scold: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" ”

Although Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling have a lot of backgrounds, Jia Luo has no scruples, because this is the household department, and he is the boss here.

"Yes! Lord Shangshu! Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling Zuoji shouted, and then hurriedly ran out of the left side hall, and after the two left, Jia Luo said to one of the officials: "You go to find two people to come over, temporarily take over the affairs of Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling!" ”

"Yes! Lord Shangshu! The named official replied respectfully.

"Come here!"

"Don't grind, hurry up, if you don't want to do it, get out, a lot of people want to come in!"

"Bastard, what are you doing!"

Jarrow also began to sit in the central hall to deal with official business, because Jarrow was straightforward and scolded people mercilessly, and it didn't take long for Jarrow to scold from time to time in the main hall, which made the officials in the main hall tremble.

......

After a while, the Imperial Study!

Ying Chang, who was sitting on the carved dragon throne, looked at the two brothers Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling not far in front of him, these two brothers were very fast, and they came to the imperial study in less than a stick of incense.

The two brothers, Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling, both had doubts on their faces, and they wanted to ask what it was for, but Ying often didn't speak, and they didn't want to ask.

After a few moments of silence, Ying Chang spoke: "Not long ago, Prime Minister Right submitted a budget, this year's budget reached more than 30 million taels of silver, although there are many additional expenditures this year, but as long as there is no accident, the annual financial expenditure in the future will be more than 28 million!" ”

"And my Great Qin's current annual financial income is only 16 million taels of silver, 17 million grain, in addition to the surplus of grain every year, the deficit of silver every year, the treasury is now only about 25 million taels of silver, which cannot support next year's expenses, I declare that the two of you enter the palace for the sake of money!"

When Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling heard this, their brows couldn't help frowning, and they were also shocked, the annual financial expenditure is 30 million taels of silver, which is too big!

"Your Majesty, the minister's family has some savings, and he is willing to donate 30 million taels of silver!" Zhang Gui bent down solemnly and respectfully and replied.

Zhang Ling is still in the water, obviously not against Zhang Gui.

"Haha!" Ying Chang couldn't help but smile, the two brothers misunderstood themselves.

Seeing Yingchang laughing, the two brothers suddenly looked confused, what are they laughing at? Could it be less? Thirty million taels of silver is a lot, this is half of their Zhang family's property, just when the two continued to misunderstand, Ying Chang said with a relieved smile on his face:

"The two Aiqing are willing to donate 30 million taels of silver for Daqin, I am very pleased, but I announced that you came over, not to let you donate money, but to let you make money for Daqin, your Zhang Chamber of Commerce, I have also understood deeply in recent days!"

"You are very powerful, you started from scratch, in only ten years, you have created the first chamber of commerce of the Yan Empire, and completed the achievements of the rich and rival countries, you have such a strong ability to make money, you have this strength, you should not be buried, I plan to set up a business department in the household department, and set up a business department about four products, which will be served by the two of you!"

"Merchants?" The two brothers were stunned again!

Their attention was not at all in the middle and upper ranks of the four products, but in the business division, which was a very strange division and had never appeared, which had to make the two brothers curious, what does the business division do? It sounds like the name is in charge of the National Chamber of Commerce.

"That's right, Shoshi!" Ying Chang said sonorously.

"The Chamber of Commerce is similar to the Chamber of Commerce, except that the Chamber of Commerce is controlled by private people, while the Chamber of Commerce is controlled by the imperial court, the money that a big chamber of commerce earns every year, I think the two of you know better than me, the money earned by all the chambers of commerce in a country every year is definitely ten times the financial income of the imperial court!" Yingchang briefly introduced the business department, and also roughly talked about why the business department was established.

The business department and the chamber of commerce are similar, the establishment of the business department is to help the court make money, to say that it is ugly, it is to compete with the people, no matter which empire, it will not compete with the people, thinking that it is a loss of the unification of the court, but in the eyes of Yingchang, it is not.
