Li Mu wanted to restore the Datang Technical School in his heart, and the six departments also had their own calculations.

Since the Ministry of Civil Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Households, because the Ministry of Households is in charge of taxation, the Ministry of Households suddenly became the God of Wealth among the six ministries, although when making the budget, the six ministries are nominally equivalent, but the money is allocated from the Ministry of Households, and the money of the Ministry of Households must be the first to be in place, and the other five ministries are not possible, the money may not be less, but it may be a few months later.

Therefore, when arranging the budget this year, the other five ministries will be privately combined, how can we change this situation of being choked by the neck. But the five families are totaling one thing, how can the news not leak out. When the household department heard that his family had been calculated, he was furious from top to bottom, and it was said that this year's budget would be actuarial and accurate.

The words don't sound like anything wrong, but for the officials of the five departments, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. Actuarial means that there is no surplus money at all for a radish and a pit. Let's not talk about the problem of being greedy for money or not, even if it is a normal expenditure, if there is no money left, in case of an accident, it is not overstretched?

But things have come to this point, and it is a bit too embarrassing to go to the household department to ask for mercy. Fortunately, there is still some time before the budget for the next year comes out. According to the rules, it has to pass the New Year, and it can only come out after the Shangyuan Festival. In the meantime, you can still find a way.

The five departments did not negotiate, but they did the same thing. That is, if you can think of a way, you can think of a way, and if you can't think of a way, it's not too late to ask for mercy.

There are ways to think of it, and there are ways to think of it, and there are ways to think of it badly. For example, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Officials is actually the easiest way to raise money, and if you sell your official beard, don't you have money? But the problem is that the environment in the early Tang Dynasty was not so corrupt, even if you want to sell your official beard, you have to think about how many heads you have that are easy to cut off, so although the officials seem to be easy to make money, they are actually the most difficult of the five.

Among the five ministries, the best is the Ministry of Industry. Some of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry have made a rule since Li Mu reformed the Ministry of Industry, that is, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry did not work in vain. However, inside and outside Chang'an City, building houses, shops, mansions and other things are indispensable for a day. The treatment of the Ministry of Industry is so good, good craftsmen have registered with the Ministry of Industry, and they can't hire anyone in the market, so they have to find the Ministry of Industry in the end. Without delaying the established arrangements of the Ministry of Industry, it is not difficult at all to take on some private work and earn a little expense.

The Criminal Department is the same as the Ministry of Officials, and when Ming Jun is in power, it is not easy to make money. However, the Criminal Department is still a little better than the Ministry of Officials, because the Criminal Department is in charge of the trial power, that is to say, when a prisoner is escorted to Chang'an, when and how to try it, the Criminal Department has the final say, and in the process of guarding and arraignment, as long as the Criminal Department wants to make money, there are ways to make money. It's just that I don't like it today, so I have to be more restrained.

Ministry of Rites, although there seems to be no way to make money. But in fact, it is the easiest department to make money, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of Honglu Temple and other departments, and receives foreign envoys. And the envoys of this era, after coming to Chang'an, in addition to state affairs, are engaged in a little business, the Ministry of Rites provides convenience, to cooperate, every link and step is not free, although there is a foreign affairs office, it must be reduced a lot, but the Ministry of Rites originally did not have many mouths, it was still enough.

The most difficult thing is the military department, and the military department really doesn't have any trouble. Because the military department of the Tang Dynasty actually can't control the local army. Even if you can manage it, you don't dare to transfer, and it is a big taboo thing to transfer troops without authorization, who would dare? Anyway, Hou Junji didn't dare, so he had no choice but to come to Li Mu.

Li Mu is preparing for the enrollment plan, and he doesn't care about Hou Junji's affairs. But this time, Hou Junji may have gotten the guidance of Cheng Biting Jin, and he showed the ability to play a scoundrel, and he had the posture of not leaving if he couldn't get the money, and he would have to rely on the valley.

Li Mu went to find Li Shimin, Li Shimin said that he didn't care, and Li Mu couldn't ask Li Chongyi to beat Hou Junji, so he really had no choice, so he had to put the enrollment matter aside first and help him find a way.

"You're going to be very difficult." After listening to Hou Junji's analysis of his difficulties, Li Mu was also very scratching his head, he couldn't transfer troops at will, what advantages did the military department have? Let the big-headed soldiers do the work? It's okay for a while, but if you keep talking, not only will the training be wasted, but the soldiers won't be willing, how can there be coolies who work in vain?

"Why don't you find a way around?" Li Mu remembered an idea from a long time ago, and said to Hou Junji: "Datang is short of horses now, but the process of selling horses is very complicated. If I'm not mistaken, the Ministry of War has a certain annual budget for horses. If the military department can directly purchase this batch of horses, the money saved will be enough for the difference. After all, even if the household department deducted it, it would not dare to blatantly deduct too much from the military department. ”

"Organize a caravan?" Hou Junji wrinkled his brows and said; "It's the New Year, is it appropriate to organize a caravan at this time?"

"Let's celebrate the New Year, and the Turks don't celebrate the New Year. What's out of place? Besides, isn't there a lack of money? There's no rice to cook, so why do you care so much? ”

"But-" Hou Junji still hesitated, and said, "Unauthorized transfer of troops-"

"Do you have to transfer troops?" Li Mu blinked and said, "I heard that the generals have pro-soldiers. There are so many generals in the military department, and each family has ten or eight people, so it's not difficult to get together a hundred people, right? There are only 100 people, and no one believes that they will use these 100 people to rebel. It's just selling horses, I don't believe that the generals' personal soldiers escort the horses, and there will be any thieves on the road who dare to think about it, not to mention whether they can beat it or not, even if they encounter a large number of people, they dare to do this kind of thing, and they have to weigh whether they can bear the consequences. ”

"That's just as well!" Hou Junji has confidence, let's not talk about whether the horse trafficking is illegal or not, and the horse robbery must be looking for death. How important horses are to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin dreamed of making a 10,000-strong cavalry, if the horse was robbed, Hou Junji recognized it, Li Shimin couldn't recognize it!

The solution has been found, and the rest is to carry it out. Hou Junji rubbed his hands and said, "It's okay to sell horses, but there is still a tricky matter now. ”

Li Mu looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly felt something, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Hou Junji say: "Last year's budget has been all spent. I haven't seen the budget for the new year yet, where does the cost of selling horses come from? Hou Junji stretched out his hand and said, "Either you borrow me first, and when I come back from selling horses, or the budget for the new year comes out, I will pay you back." ”

"I-" Li Mu hurriedly said: "General, don't you take such a fool?" I've figured out a way for you, and you're still asking me to pay? ”

"Borrowed!" Hou Junji emphasized: "I will pay you back a lot of money, and I will pay you back the interest." ”

"That's a good thing to say!" Li Mu ruthlessly pierced: "If you don't pay me back when the time comes, I can't help it." Your Majesty will definitely not make decisions for me when I suffer a loss. ”

"A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, do you think I am Cheng Biting Jin?" Hou Junji said unhappily: "Just talk to you like this, you have to borrow me." ”

Li Mu can see that Hou Junji's search for a way is fake, and it is true that he is looking for money to cross the river. If it is not bad as expected, Hou Junji should be short of this money for the New Year now, this is purely to fight the autumn breeze. No wonder Li Shimin didn't show up, it was obvious that there had been a discussion between their monarchs and ministers for a long time, and they just wanted to pit themselves!

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, how much do you want?" ”

"100,000!" Hou Junji stretched out two fingers, and under Li Mu's eyes, he retracted one finger and said, "No matter how little, it's not enough." ”

"I can give you 100,000 yuan, but I can't give nothing in return." The corners of Li Mu's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "Let's make a deal." ”

Seeing Li Mu's smile like this, Hou Junji chuckled in his heart, he had an intuition that this time he might not only not take advantage, but also suffer. But he couldn't imagine that he would suffer because of anything, and he really lacked the money. Because of this, he turned his heart and said, "What do you want?" Let's talk about it first, I won't do it behind Your Majesty's back! ”

Li Mu leaned into Hou Junji's ear and muttered a few words, Hou Junji twisted his brows and said: "This is not appropriate, in case it is self-defeating, wouldn't I offend the people of the Manchu Dynasty?" Besides, Your Majesty may not agree. ”

Li Mu knew what he was thinking, and said, "Your Majesty, I'll just say it, anyway, as long as you give the name of the military department, I'll give you 100,000 yuan," After a pause, Li Mu said again: "You don't need to pay it back, right?" ”

"That's fine!" Hou Junji immediately agreed, Li Mu instantly felt that he had been fooled, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, Hou Junji came prepared, and he had already calculated it. But it's normal, in the early Tang Dynasty, there was one who could be a general, and they were all good hands, although Hou Junji's reputation was reckless when he was young, but he was also a real general, how could he not have his own calculations.

At that moment, the two agreed, and Hou Junji was also satisfied with Li Mu's note and went to the Four Seas Gambling House to withdraw money.

……

The quid pro quo proposed by Li Mu is also very simple to say, that is, the power to run a military academy. Li Mu originally planned to carry it out if he was in Chang'an, but then he went to Luoyang, and the difficulty of implementing this matter doubled, so he put the plan on hold, and then the affairs were complicated, so he forgot about it.

Now that I think about it, it's still because of the Datang Technical School, anyway, it's all about running a school, one sheep is also driving, and two sheep are also released, not much energy is wasted, killing two birds with one stone.

But he couldn't imagine that he would suffer because of anything, and he really lacked the money. Because of this, he turned his heart and said, "What do you want?"
