In fact, Zhao Junchen has always been the most relieved about the household yamen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this yamen is Zhao Junchen's own backyard.

Over the years, the household department has been run by Zhao Junchen like an iron bucket, and the officials from top to bottom are all Zhao Junchen's cronies, and they are also loyal to Zhao Junchen.

Some time ago, in order to provoke the hostile struggle between Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing, Emperor Deqing mixed sand between the two, transferred Zhou Shangjing's confidant Ma Sen to the household department as the left attendant of the household department, and transferred Li Chengru, a subordinate of Zhao Junchen, to the ministry as the right attendant of the ministry.

Ma Sen has been an official for many years, he is not good at stubble, his ability and scheming are not lacking, and he has the cabinet assistant Zhou Shangjing as a backer, which can be described as menacing, but after coming to the household department, it was only a few days before and after, and even without Zhao Junchen doing it himself, he was united by the officials of the household department.

Of course, Li Chengru's treatment in the Ministry of Officials is the same.

However, it can also be seen from this that Zhao Junchen's ability to control the household is strong, and the loyalty of the household department to Zhao Junchen.

However, faithfulness is only one aspect, and agreeing with or not being is another.

Nowadays, Zhao Junchen is no longer the original Zhao Junchen, not as short-sighted as before, regarding money as life, but paying more attention to his own reputation, and also paying more attention to future development and safety.

However, those officials in the household department are still as corrupt and bribed as before, like wolves and tigers, relying on the protection of Zhao Junchen. repeatedly embezzled the money and food of the household department, and acted more and more unscrupulously.

As a result, the account loses money. makes Zhao Junchen always a little constrained when he wants to do something serious, and even has a weak heart, which is only one aspect.

The most important thing is that as long as these people are still unscrupulously corrupt and bribery, as long as Zhao Junchen still shelters these corrupt officials and moths, then Zhao Junchen wants to improve his reputation. There is no way to reverse the shape you are facing.

In the final analysis, although the household is loyal to Zhao Junchen. But each other? Thinking. The bed is up.

Compared with the benefits they brought to Zhao Junchen, the harm they brought to Zhao Junchen became more and more eye-catching.

…………

Between thoughts, Zhao Junchen shook his head. After a sigh. He muttered softly: "Everyone in the world says 'upward and downward effect', since I returned to Beijing, I have never touched the silver grain of the household department, and it is completely a clean official, although they have never said it explicitly, but they should also understand that my mind has changed, why don't they follow me to learn?" On the contrary, it has become more and more unscrupulous! ”

Although Zhao Junchen's voice was soft, it still fell on the ears of Xu Qingyan and Chu Jiayi.

This sentence is still said without beginning or end. Xu Qingyan still didn't understand; It was Chu Jiayi who thought of Zhao Junchen's style these days. As if he understood something, he secretly looked at Zhao Junchen's face thoughtfully.

Just when several people were thinking differently, there were suddenly several knocks on the door in the study.

Then, I heard Fang Ru's voice coming.

"Sir, may I come in?"

Hearing that Fang Ru was coming, Zhao Junchen was originally a little depressed, but for some reason he actually got better, and said with a smile: "Come in." ”

Fang Ru pushed the door in, but he was holding a wooden plate in his hand, and two plates of dim sum were placed on the wooden plate.

The smiling demeanor was as charming and enchanting as ever, but she glanced at Chu Jiayi inadvertently.

"The lord has a lot of affairs during this time, and he is also tired, and I heard that the lord likes osmanthus cake and jujube cake very much in recent days, so I went to the kitchen to make some by myself, and brought it to relieve the fatigue of the lord, and the lord tasted it, but it was delicious?"

While speaking, Fang Ru bypassed the desk, came to Zhao Junchen's side, put two plates of dim sum in Zhao Junchen's hand, and then picked up a piece of osmanthus cake with two white and tender onion fingers and handed it to Zhao Junchen's mouth.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the study, seeing Fang Ru so attached and coquettish, Zhao Junchen shook his head and smiled, and didn't care, just took the osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.

After tasting it carefully, Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "Not bad, I didn't expect Ru'er that you still have such skills, which are much better than the skills of the chefs in the house." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Fang Ru smiled very happily, as glamorous as a peach blossom, and charming.

In fact, in order to make these two plates of dim sum, Fang Ru has been preparing since last night, and he has worked hard and really put in a lot of effort, and he has been busy until now, just to win these two praises from Zhao Junchen.

Although there are only two plates of dim sum in front of Zhao Junchen now, Fang Ru's "failed works" that he discarded in the kitchen before are no less than twenty or thirty plates.

However, after hearing Zhao Junchen's praise, Fang Ru felt that his hard work was worth it, not long ago he was in the kitchen in a hurry, and his face was full of flour, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to have become a sweet memory.

However, while being happy, Fang Ru inadvertently asked softly: "It's good that the master likes it, but I don't know how my craftsmanship is compared to Miss Chu." ”

Hearing Fang Ru say this, Chu Jiayi drooped and said, "Madam, the dim sum you made by yourself is naturally excellent, where do you dare to compare." ”

Fang Ru didn't pay attention to Chu Jiayi's words, just looked at Zhao Junchen with a pair of pretty eyes, waiting for Zhao Junchen's answer.

In fact, as soon as this sentence was spoken, Fang Ru regretted it a little, Chu Jiayi's pastry Fang Ru herself had tasted it, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was no less skilled than the imperial chef in the palace, although Fang Ru was unwilling to admit it, but Chu Jiayi's craftsmanship was indeed much better than her.

However, Fang Ru still wanted to hear Zhao Junchen's answer.

Even if it's a coaxing lie.

But Zhao Junchen was having something on his mind, but he completely noticed Fang Ru's thoughts, but he didn't care and said honestly: "This can't be compared, your craftsmanship is not bad, but Jiayi's pastry making skills can't be compared even to the imperial chef in the palace." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Fang Ru's expression flashed with a look of loss, and his originally bright eyes also dimmed a little.

But then, Fang Ru had already regained her usual bewitching appearance, and she was unwilling to continue to dwell on this topic. Seeing Zhao Junchen's brows furrowed slightly, he seemed to be worried about something, so Lianbu moved lightly. walked behind Zhao Junchen, and pressed two jade fingers on Zhao Junchen's temples and gently rubbed them.

"What is the old man bothering about?"

Fang Ru asked softly while massaging Zhao Junchen's head.

Zhao Junchen sat back in his chair, his eyes closed, enjoying Fang Ru's massage, while raising his hand and waving slightly.

Seeing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan and Chu Jiayi knew. Zhao Junchen wanted to say some private words with Fang Ru, more or less reluctantly, but after all, he couldn't disobey Zhao Junchen's intentions. Or left quickly.

After Xu Qingyan and Chu Jiayi left, only Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru were left in the study.

Zhao Junchen didn't speak, just enjoyed Fang Ru's massage, and Fang Ru didn't urge. just looked focused on massaging Zhao Junchen's head.

After a long time. Zhao Junchen finally spoke and said slowly: "Hey, I'm worried about the situation in the household department. ”

Fang Ru asked softly, "What's wrong with the household?" ”

"Nothing happened, as always, and that's why I'm upset."

As he spoke, Zhao Junchen sighed, and told Fang Ru that the household couldn't even take out thirty or fifty thousand taels of silver now. Then he sighed: "No matter how embarrassed the household is, it will not fall into what it is now." The officials at all levels of the household have really been connived at by me. In the past few years, the operation of the money and grain of the household department has improved a lot, and I am no longer greedy for the silver of the household department, although His Majesty has been staring at the household silver, but after all, there are hundreds of officials watching, and it is not easy to do it too obviously, so how can the surplus silver of the household department only have such a little? Where did the rest go? It's not that those people are greedy for ink! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen sighed again. Then he said: "In the past, I still counted on these people to help me watch the household stabilize the rear, and I thought that they were still loyal to me, so I turned a blind eye to their small actions and didn't pay much attention to them. But now, as I have gained a firm foothold in the court, the actions of these people are becoming more and more eyesore, and for me, it has done more harm than good, and as long as these people are still there, my plan to reverse my reputation is destined to be a flash in the pan. ”

Fang Ru quietly listened to Zhao Junchen's complaints, and did not interject, but also frowned slightly with Liu Mei, thinking about how to deal with it.

And Zhao Junchen continued to complain: "People say that above the officialdom, the most upward and downward effect is up, why can't it work when it comes to me?" Since I came back from Lu'an Mansion, how have I ever touched the household money again? Why can't they understand such a change? Not to mention that I followed suit, but now that I have become the secretary of the household department, and I have changed the bookkeeping methods of the household department, these people have become more unscrupulous, isn't this forcing me to do something to them!? ”

Fang Ru asked, "Master, do you want to rectify the household?" ”

Zhao Junchen said: "With this idea, the household department has indeed become a burden now, although it is the most loyal, but it is always not easy to use. However, I don't know how to rectify it, the household is already rotten to the roots, if I want to rectify, I have to clean it on a large scale, but after such a large-scale cleansing, where will I find someone to replace them? Even if I find someone to replace them, I won't be at ease with my loyalty to Tobe. ”

Saying that, Zhao Junchen shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "In the end, the reason why the household is loyal to me is because they can be confident and bold to be greedy for ink and silver under my protection, if I don't let them be greedy for ink and silver anymore, this loyalty will no longer be there." What's more, this greedy heart is the most addictive, and how can it be so easy to change. ”

Fang Ru was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Master, you just mentioned the words of upward and downward effect, and sir, although it is true that you no longer take the money in the household department these days, but the actual situation, I am afraid that it is a little different from what you think, master." ”

Hearing Fang Ru say this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned, opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Fang Ru sighed and said, "Master, these days, you have only been staring at the major affairs of the DPRK and China, but you have ignored the income of the house, although I told the master, but you never cared...... Master, do you know that at the end of the year, how much filial piety silver was received from the officials of the household department in our house? ”

"How much?"

"That's 210,000 taels, more than double the number of previous years." Fang Ru explained: "I didn't think much about it at the time, I just felt that if we rejected their filial piety silver, they would be afraid that they would be uneasy, thinking that you were going to abandon them, so they accepted it, but now that I think about it, we did it, and it made them misunderstand." ”

After Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he asked: "You mean, although I no longer directly covet the silver in the Mobu Household, but in the eyes of the Hubu, I just changed the way, but no longer directly stretched out my hand, but instead divided it from the silver they were greedy for?" ”

"That's about it." Fang Ru nodded and said, "After all, master, your previous style ...... They were too impressed, if they didn't tell them clearly, how could they think that you want to improve your reputation and stop greedy for money, master? ”

After a pause, Fang Ru continued: "In addition, I'm afraid there is also the reason for 'Yuerong Fang'. ”

"Joy Place?"

Zhao Junchen was stunned again and asked in surprise.

Now although Zhao Junchen has experienced the experience of Huan Hai, his mental vision has grown a lot, but after all, he is not a real corrupt official, and he is far less familiar with the thoughts of corrupt officials than Fang Ru.

Therefore, there are many things that need to be mentioned by Fang Ru to understand.

Fang Ru nodded lightly and said, "Most of the silver in the household department is used for expenditure, and most of them are fixed, and there is not much surplus silver left for them to be greedy for ink. No matter how greedy you are, the income is not as good as the income of more than 1,000 taels per day from 'Yuerong Fang'. However, after you opened Yuerong Fang, you only distributed the shares of Yuerong Fang to those new officials who took refuge in you, such as Zuo Lanshan and Zhan Shanchang, but did not take into account the old people in the household. ”

"You mean, they're dissatisfied?" Zhao Junchen frowned.

At the beginning, Zhao Junchen and the elder Wen Guanliang had a grudge, and the partisan struggle between them was imminent, in order to win over Wen Guanliang's disciples and make them willing to take refuge in their own battles, Zhao Junchen threw out the killer weapon of Yuerongfang shares, and it was the bottom of the kettle that drew salary, which also allowed Zhao Junchen to usher in a complete victory over Wen Guanliang.

However, it was precisely because Zhao Junchen trusted the household too much at that time that he was relieved that he never thought of distributing the shares of Yuerongfang to them.

Since ancient times, people's minds have always been "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness", and the same is true for corrupt officials.

Fang Ru shook his head and said: "They are still loyal to adults, and it is not enough to be dissatisfied, but almost at the same time, sir, you are no longer greedy for ink and silver from the household, I am afraid that it will also make them misunderstand in their hearts, thinking that sir, you have left these silver to them, in order to appease them, and from now on they will only share from it." Under such a misunderstanding, they thought they understood the master's mind and were unscrupulous. ”

Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, then nodded and sighed: "I see, you can still see it." It turns out that all the qiē is because I misunderstood them......"

Fang Ru smiled: "Where can I see clearly?" It's just that sir, what you are looking at in your eyes is the major affairs of the court, and you haven't thought much about these careful thoughts of the people below. ”

After a pause, Fang Ru said: "However, since it is not appropriate for the household department to make a big move to rectify it now, then sir, you should also share some other benefits to the household department and divert their attention." Let them not feel that they will have a loss, and then make it clear to them that they should no longer be greedy for the money of the Mohu Department, so that these people can be convinced in their hearts, if there are still people with unclean hands and feet in the future, you will punish them, master, and it will be considered a famous teacher. ”
