It's too aggrieved, it's really too aggrieved, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are rigorous and cautious, in exchange for being questioned by others, and slandering rich rats, this is undoubtedly an insult to him and even the entire Ministry of Industry, as the so-called soldiers can be killed but not humiliated!

"I'm still crying, and I'm not ashamed!" Yingchang muttered angrily.

Jiang Haiyou raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "The minister is very wronged!" ”

Ying Chang moved his gaze to Jia Luo, and said with an indifferent expression: "Jia Aiqing, the budget of the Ministry of Industry has been approved, why do you want to reject it?" ”

Jia Luo, who was kneeling on his knees, straightened his waist and replied with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the minister rejected it because he felt that the accounts were wrong, and the minister also said just now that the figure given by Jiang Shangshu seven years ago was 160 million taels of silver!" ”

"Now that seven years have passed, the water conservancy repair in Shangyang County has been completed, even if the salary is higher than seven years ago, it should not be raised or reduced, but the Ministry of Industry is good, not reduced but rising, does the water conservancy in Shangyang County have to be repaired again? Your Majesty, the minister is not stingy, Jiang Shangshu and the minister have no personal enmity, and there is no possibility of personal enmity due to the stinginess of the minister or the communiqué! ”

"The minister just feels that there is a mistake in the accounts, and he shouldn't have paid so much money, 160 million taels and 170 million taels, the difference is only 10 million taels, and it is only a fraction on the surface, but does Your Majesty know? At the beginning, I didn't have this fraction of the financial income of Daqin in a year! ”

"Yes, now my Great Qin's treasury is indeed full, but it can't be so hocky, if you use one tael more money, you will have one tael less, if you can save this ten million taels of silver and use it to benefit the people and benefit the people, wouldn't it be more valuable?"

Jia Luo has his reasons, Jiang Haiyou has his ideas, and they all think from their own perspectives.

"Jia Aiqing, this is your mistake, isn't it for the benefit of the people to build water conservancy and roads?" Ying Chang stared at Jia Luo expressionlessly and said.

"Minister..."

Jia Luo wanted to refute Yingchang again, but found that he didn't seem to be reasonable, yes, building water conservancy and roads is used to benefit the people, so, what does he use to refute this point of view.

"The national water conservancy and road project requires 1.5 million laborers, and I, Daqin, have come up with 800,000 yuan, for this reason, the Ministry of Industry is ready to recruit laborers from neighboring countries, and the laborers from neighboring countries will not only have to bear their travel expenses, but also have to be exempted from food and housing, which all costs money, and now you know, why do you want 170 million taels of silver?" Yingchang explained to Jia Luo in a light tone.

"The minister knows!" Jia Luo involuntarily lowered his head, knowing that this money had to be obtained, after all, it was difficult to make Yingchang change his words, which was tantamount to ascending to the sky.

Seeing Jia Luo's softness, Jiang Haiyou was in a good mood!

"The budget matter, that's it, now let's talk about the two of you, the dignified court is a second-grade Shangshu, it's like a ruffian fighting and brawling in the market, look at your current appearance, where are you still like an important minister of the court, it's a shame on the face of the court, a loss of my face!" Ying Chang is expressionless and his tone is very heavy, as long as the other party is not stupid, he knows that Ying Chang is angry.

Jiang Haiyou couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look directly at Ying Chang.

Ying Chang slowly got up from the dragon chair, walked in front of the two of them around the imperial case, looked down at Jiang Haiyou condescendingly, and said indifferently: "Jiang Haiyou, let's not talk about your ability for the time being, you have only been in the office for seven years, and Jia Aiqing has been in the office for most of her life, and her qualifications are far higher than yours!" ”

"When I was not in charge of the government, Jia Aiqing had already worked for me, it can be said that I was a minister of the dragon, a minister of the humerus, such a minister, how can you scold him for relying on the old and selling the old, so let's do it, I will punish you for a year of suspension, demote to a grade, and be a third-grade scholar, and when you repair the national water conservancy road project, I will not only reinstate you as an official, but also reward you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Jiang Haiyou knocked a song heavily.

Ying Chang looked at Jia Luo who was kneeling at his feet again, and said indifferently: "Jia Luo, Jiang Aiqing scolded you for relying on the old and selling the old, it was Jiang Aiqing's fault, but you are outside the Chengde Gate of the Imperial Palace, and the Son of Heaven is beating people at your feet, that's your fault!" ”

"I have always been rewarded for meritorious service, and punished for mistakes, I will punish you for two years, demote you to one grade, and be a third-grade scholar, and when you will make meritorious service, I will bring you up again!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Jia Luo also knocked heavily like Jiang Haiyou.

"Stand down!" Ying Chang waved his hand at the two of them with an expressionless face.

The two slowly got up from the ground, respectfully raised their hands to salute and retreated, and soon exited the imperial study, and after the figures of the two disappeared from Ying Chang's eyes, Ying Chang exhaled lightly, pressed his temples with his hand, and had a little headache.

Next, Yingchang walked back to the dragon chair, sat down gently, and began to review the folds.

"Ah Chang!"

Ying Chang had just started a recital, and before he had time to watch, a familiar voice came from outside the hall, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to see Bai Qi come in with a group of elite soldiers wearing fish scales and black armor, this group of elite soldiers was about thirty or forty, each of them was powerful, more than seven feet tall, with a ring head knife hanging on his left waist, a short crossbow hanging on his right waist, a dagger inserted in his right calf, and a fine armor.

Ying Chang glanced at these elite soldiers with an indifferent expression, and found that some of these elite soldiers wore red tasseled helmets, and some wore green tassels and blue tassels, obviously their generals were different, and judging from their similar heights, they were obviously specially selected elite soldiers!

"We meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Dozens of elite soldiers knelt down on one knee in unison to salute and shout, and the expressions of each soldier were full of respect and admiration, and the cheers they made were also sonorous and powerful, full of energy.

"What is this?" Ying Chang involuntarily got up from the dragon chair and looked at this group of elite soldiers with doubtful eyes.

Bai Qi stepped forward and took a few steps, walked to the imperial case, stretched out his hand to the group of elite soldiers and said, "Didn't you say a few months ago that you would select a group of masters to be the martial guards around you?" These are the ones I've picked out over the past few months, all of them are martial arts wizards, and they are good at using the art of war! ”

"There are thirty-seven people in total, if they follow you, and you lead the army to fight in the future, they can not only help you kill the enemy, but also help you command the soldiers and horses!"

"I have a heart!" Ying Chang nodded with satisfaction, to be honest, if it wasn't for Bai Qi, he would have almost forgotten about this stubble.

Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair again, walked around the imperial case to Bai Qi's side, looked around the thirty-seven elite soldiers with sharp eyes like swords, and then looked calm, and asked without anger: "Who is the highest martial arts?" ”
