Chapter 0112 - The Right Squire of the Household Department (Part I)
After returning from Sangla, Wu Jiyin soon entered the household department and became the right attendant of the household department, and he sat face to face with the left attendant every day, reviewed them separately, and often exchanged opinions.
During the conversation, the young Wu Yiyin couldn't help but show his edge. - Although he thought that he was already very modest and polite, in the eyes of Zuo Shilang, this young man still needed to be honed. He did not fully understand the complexity of officialdom.
In the officialdom of the Liang Dynasty, the left is respected, in fact, this is also deliberately arranged by Emperor Zhao Ce, who specially arranged a top boss for him to hone his temperament.
However, Feng Qiuyu, the left waiter, is a sophisticated guy, he never gives Wu Yiyin a problem, and the two are almost equal, looking like they have forgotten each other.
The household department is troublesome, and the news that can be reported to the level of the squire, the cost of tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn, for the control of the treasury, the decision of the two squires is very important, they can do as much as possible to save money for the country, but their foothold on things is completely different.
Wu Yiyin attaches more importance to the battlefield, while Feng Qiuyu needs to weigh the requests of the major forces in the court.
"Feng Shilang, I think this money should be allocated to the Northern Expeditionary Army." Wu Yiyin seized an official document on the case and did not hand it over to the person who came to collect it.
The man was a little anxious and came to Feng Qiuyu, Feng Qiuyu asked the man to retreat first, and he decided to talk to Wu Yiyin in private.
But Wu Yiyin didn't give the old-timers any face, and said bluntly: "At this juncture, what kind of temple do you want to build?" Even if the temple collapses, that is, it will affect the temple fair for a year or two, but for the Northern Expeditionary Army, this money can buy food, and these grains are the lives of my Liang soldiers. ”
Feng Qiuyu stroked his beard and said unhurriedly: "What Yin Yin said is true, and the old man also thinks that it should be so, but don't forget, this is the case of the Meng family." The temple is just north of the Meng family, and feng shui says that this is the spine of the prince, and it can't be allowed to collapse. ”
"Their Meng family is so rich, why don't they pay for it themselves?"
"Actually, they don't ask for much silver, and this time to repair the temple, the main thing is that their family spends money."
"Then why did he come to approve the official bank?"
Feng Qiuyu smiled and said: "You don't understand this, they are actually applying for approval to start construction by doing this." As long as they get the money from our Ministry of Households, they don't have to care about the review of the Ministry of Industry and Jing Zhaoyin, they can say in a grand manner that this is a project supported by the Ministry of Households, and you don't have to interfere. And how much money they spent at that time, even if the Ministry of Industry can see it, they have no problem. Anyway, this money doesn't need to be paid by the treasury, so naturally I don't bother to intervene. ”
Wu Yiyin frowned: "Now that the emperor has repeatedly ordered that he is not allowed to engage in extravagance, he Meng family is committing crimes against the wind, but we want to support him?" ”
But in the documents, people just apply for a hundred taels of silver for the benefit of the people. It's only a hundred taels, I'm afraid...... Hehe, it's not worth making a fuss. ”
Feng Qiuyu is sophisticated, and Wu Yin can naturally see it clearly, he is avoiding the important and light, so as not to cause trouble.
Feng Qiuyu is the same as Wu Yinyin, originally poor, maybe he was poor, he has always been cautious after becoming an official, and later it is said that he climbed into a relative with the Ximen family, although the relationship between the relatives is not very close, but he can't stand his perennial dedication, and finally entered the Ximen Gate, claiming to be a civil official under the protection of the Ximen Gate.
After a brief conversation, Wu Yiyin still withheld this document.
Feng Qiuyu didn't say anything, and continued to bow his head to review the documents.
And Si Cao, who was outside at this time, hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.
This Si Cao official's surname is Meng, and he is Meng Yuan, a distant nephew of Meng Zong, who relied on the power of the Meng clan lord to become the palm seal of the Prison God Division.
The Prison God Division is a small Qingshui Yamen founded since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, and it used to be managed by the Ministry of Rites for a period of time, and then for some reason, it was reassigned to the Ministry of Households, but after two tosses, the original little authority has now become even more insignificant.
The Prison Department is responsible for supervising all kinds of sects in the country, but now that the war has been going on year after year, it has become a problem for the people to eat, and there are many homeless people.
This time, the Meng family finally asked him to do this, and he was full of confidence and said to Meng Zong that he would definitely succeed.
At the beginning, he directly found Feng Qiuyu, Feng Qiuyu heard that it was the Meng family's business, although it was not a gate valve, but this little thing could not be a hindrance, so he signed it, at that time Meng Yuan thought it was done, so he planned to leave with the paperwork, but was stopped by Wu Yin, and never came out.
He stood outside the door and glanced at Feng Qiuyu, Feng Qiuyu raised his old eyebrows, and motioned for Meng Yuan to find Wu Yin.
Meng Yuan rolled his eyes and stomped his feet in anger.
Later, the anger in his heart became more and more intense, he actually walked in directly, reached out to grab the paperwork, was suppressed by Wu Yin, and said: "Bold Si Cao, dare to trespass on the household!" ”
"Don't think that if you are appreciated by the emperor, you can dominate the officialdom. This is just a hundred taels of silver, in the eyes of our Meng family, it is not even a fart, but you take it as a treasure? If you think it's too much, now I'll drop it to ten taels, and then I'll donate twenty taels of private silver to the household, do you think it's okay? Meng Yuan was dumbfounded.
Wu Yiyin tore the paperwork, tore it up on the spot, and said angrily: "Meng Yuan, as an official of the imperial court, you don't take the emperor in your eyes so much, don't you think you are guilty of the following?" ”
Meng Yuan laughed and said, "Don't be arrogant, don't think that you are arrogant today, you can be arrogant tomorrow." Before I get off work, I hope you can make up a piece of paperwork for me, otherwise, I'll make your family look good tonight! ”
"How dare you threaten the imperial court!"
"If you don't believe me, let's see!" Leaving a cruel word, Meng Yuan walked out.
"Wait!" Feng Qiuyu celebrity stopped Meng Yuan, he walked over without hurrying, and said to Meng Yuan in a loud voice: "In our household department, don't be too presumptuous!" Then he whispered: "It's just a trivial matter, why bother hurting the peace, you can do what you should do when you go back, as for the paperwork, I'll make up for you when you go back." ”
"It's still Lord Feng who is sensible!" Meng Yuan smiled treacherously.
Then Feng Qiuyu waved his sleeves impatiently and motioned for Meng Yuan to go away.
Wu Yin is not stupid, he saw the doorway, and said to Feng Qiuyu angrily: "Lord Feng, if you are not mistaken, you may have secretly agreed to him, but I don't agree with this matter, and I resolutely disagree." ”
Feng Qiuyu shook his head helplessly and said, "Why do you insist on this little thing?" If you offend the Meng family, what good will it do you? ”
"Not really." Wu Yiyin waved his hand and said, "Although the matter is small, it is of great significance. Their Meng family despises the imperial power, and I must not let it go. Lord Feng, you don't have to worry about this matter, in the future, their Meng family will make trouble, and I don't have to take it alone! ”
