Chapter 214 Withholding Money

Chapter 214

Qin Huaidao watched them settle accounts for a while, and then returned to his position.

And Li Shimin sat on it and didn't speak.

The ministers below didn't dare to move at all, and they didn't dare to say that Qin Huaidao was not.

Originally, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say whether Qin Huaidao had made a mistake in checking the accounts, but now he didn't dare to say it, there was no possibility of checking the wrong thing at all.

Because he found that many of the officials who had previously been in charge of the workshop were now sweating on their foreheads, and they didn't even dare to look elsewhere, staring at their feet, their legs shaking.

"Pepin, are you ready for breakfast?" Li Shimin sat on it and suddenly said something to Qin Huaidao.

"I've eaten some of this." Qin Huaidao said with his fists at Li Shimin.

"Well, that's good, I'm still worried that you haven't eaten." Li Shimin nodded and said to Qin Huaidao.

The other ministers turned their heads to look at Qin Huaidao.

Has Your Majesty favored Qin Huaidao so much now? I even asked him if he had eaten it?

"Pepin, how long will it take to check all the account books of the workshop?" Li Shimin continued to ask Qin Huaidao.

"Back to Your Majesty, we basically checked the bills of the three workshops in two days, if there are more account books, it may be later, if we want to check them all, it may take more than four months.

Of course, if you recruit some people who can calculate accounts to do the accounting together, it can be faster. Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin.

"Then check, don't let any of them go, Pepin, you tell me the truth, how big of a case do you expect from the Ministry of Industry? How much money did they corrupt? When Li Shimin said this, he was still very angry, and pointed to the direction of the civil officials below and asked.

The frightened officials all shrunk their necks.

"I don't know, but the six workshops that I checked this time have involved more than 80,000 yuan, and this is still not compared with the price of materials in the household, if it is compared, it may be more.

Then, according to this calculation, it is estimated that the money of the entire workshop will definitely not be less than 1 million, and it may even reach 2 million, of course, this still needs to be specifically investigated. Qin Huaidao replied to Li Shimin's words again.

"Okay, good, I actually dare to be greedy for Mo Zhen's money, it's really amazing, and everyone dares to be greedy for ink like this, do you really think I'm a fool? More than 1 million, more than 1 million!

I am not even willing to build a palace now, and building a palace is only tens of thousands of dollars, good, good! Li Shimin said there angrily.

"Your Majesty, this, this money, but it's from our Ministry of Industry, right?" Qin Huaidao stood below and whispered.

"Huh?" All the officials looked at Qin Huaidao.

"What did you say?" Li Shimin stood on it and didn't hear what Qin Huaidao said, so he looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Your Majesty, I said that this money belongs to our Ministry of Industry, right?" Qin Huaidao immediately raised his voice, looked at Li Shimin and shouted.

"What kind of work?" Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he looked at Qin Huaidao and shouted.

"Strictly speaking, it's Your Majesty, but you have to go back to our Ministry of Industry first, and our Ministry of Industry still has a deficit of more than 100,000 yuan.

We still need to make up for this money, and when we make up for it, what to do with it later, it's up to you, Your Majesty! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, it's okay, how much is the deficit?" Li Shimin said and looked at Zhang Liang.

"This... Back to Your Majesty, I lost about 135,000 yuan. Zhang Liang stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, our officials in the Ministry of Industry are poor, of course, I'm talking about the poor officials of the Ministry of Industry, Your Majesty, look, look at his clothes, this official uniform is still slightly better, you see his clothes, even ordinary people are not as good.

Your Majesty, you can't take all this money, in addition, I also heard that many officials in the Ministry of Industry can't even afford to buy houses, they are renting houses, and the rent in Chang'an City is not cheap!

So, Your Majesty, you have to take care of our officials in the Ministry of Industry!

Also, Your Majesty, the room where the minister is working is a broken table, and I don't even know how many years ago I don't know how many cups were left!

Your Majesty, this money has to be returned to our Ministry of Industry, and when we have paid off the accounts that should be repaid, and the things that should be purchased are complete, shall we hand it over again? ”

Qin Huaidao cried hard and said that the officials of their Ministry of Industry were poor, and at the same time opened the official uniform of an official of the Ministry of Industry and asked Li Shimin to see the clothes he was wearing.

Although this is very rude, they are not stupid, and they know that Qin Huaidao is seeking benefits for them.

"Well, really, put it on, put it on, come on!" Li Shimin pointed to the official and asked him to put on his clothes, and shouted at the same time.

"Your Majesty!" Wang En stepped forward.

"Go, go get a few fine pieces of cloth and come over, and the officials who came over with Peping, each of them will carry two horses back, really, being an official is like this, and it is also a shame for me." Li Shimin said to Wang En.

"Yes!" When Wang En heard it, he immediately went out, and then looked at Qin Huaidao.

"Your Majesty, therefore, this money has to be kept in the Ministry of Industry." Qin Huaidao still said to Li Shimin.

The other officials turned their heads to look at Qin Huaidao, not knowing what Qin Huaidao wanted to do?

Can't he see that Li Shimin wants to receive this money from the inside!

The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to stand up at this moment, hoping to hand over the money to the household department without collecting the money, but he didn't dare to speak at all now.

Just now he impeached Qin Huaidao, and was slapped in the face by Qin Huaidao and His Majesty, and now his old face is still red.

I feel ashamed to think about it, I was blinded by the officials of those families, and I didn't think about their corruption.

This is also lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and in the future, his prestige among the hundred officials will definitely decrease a lot.

"No, this money, I'm still useful!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Your Majesty, this money is also useful to our Ministry of Industry." Qin Huaidao still insisted on his thoughts.

"You... You, more than 1 million yuan, what are you going to do with it? Can you use so much money? Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.

This kid actually wants to intercept more than 1 million of himself, and if you want to intercept it, don't intercept so much.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to build a house for those poor officials, and the poor officials who are officials in the capital can't afford to buy a house, so they can be provided with a house by the Ministry of Industry.

Until they leave Chang'an and go to work in other places, and then take back their house, the house doesn't need to be too big, a house, including the yard, covers an area of no more than 1 acre!

The minister's budget, including the purchase of land, to build such a house, is estimated to cost about 2,000 yuan.

The minister also calculated that in the entire Ministry of Industry, all the high-level officials who don't have a house, add up to about 30 people, and about 60,000 yuan is enough, and in addition, the minister also wants to give them some benefits. Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin.

"60,000 yuan, you want to intercept more than 1 million yuan?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"No, what are the benefits?" Qin Huaidao looked up at Li Shimin and said.

"What benefit, to have so much money?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao puzzled and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister inquired, the household department, in addition to their salaries every year, the officials of the eighth grade can also get about 20 yuan a year, and the seven grades are more, about 30 yuan a year.

The minister wants to reissue the officials of the Ministry of Industry, such as Jiang Xionghao, he has been in the Ministry of Industry for ten years, and now he is an eight-grade official, so he needs to be reissued 200 yuan!

Your Majesty, if it weren't for their corruption, the Ministry of Industry would not have been so poor, so the benefits of these officials are what they deserve, and they still need to be returned! Qin Huaidao continued to report to Li Shimin.

In the past two days, Qin Huaidao also knew that the salary of the Ministry of Industry was only enough for the family to eat, and the family couldn't even afford a maid.

"Well, you don't need that much for that, do you?" Li Shimin thought for a while, and he didn't need so much money, so he stared at Qin Huaidao and asked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you agree?" Qin Huaidao heard it and said happily.

"Agreed, I agreed, but, this money?" Li Shimin nodded, and looked at Qin Huaidao with a secret smile in his heart.

"Well, leave 300,000 for our Ministry of Industry, and give the rest to Your Majesty, okay?" Qin Huaidao still pondered for a while, feeling that in the future, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry, he couldn't do it without money.

"Well, okay, according to you, the money is given to you, but the Ministry of Industry, you have to take care of it for me." Li Shimin pointed at Qin Huaidao and warned.

This sentence is also a warning to the officials here that they have nothing to do to cause trouble for Qin Huaidao.

"Yes, keep in mind!" Qin Huaidao said with a fist salute.

Jiang Xionghao and them, they are quite excited at the moment, whether they can divide the house or not, he doesn't know yet, but the reward of more than 200 yuan is there, and with more than 200 yuan, the family can ease up a lot.

Zhang Liang is also happy, because the Ministry of Industry has money, but this money, but it is accounted for separately, and will not be combined with the funds allocated by the Ministry of Households, which is used as the daily expenses of the Ministry of Industry.

"Well, have you finished the calculation, so many people, after counting for so long, you haven't finished the calculation?" Li Shimin sat there and asked the accounting officials in the far corner.

Immediately, an official ran over and reported to Li Shimin: "It's calculated, but it can't be reconciled with Hu Guogong's account, so now they are reviewing!" ”

"Huh?" When those civil officials heard this, they all turned their heads to look at the official, could it be that Qin Huaidao had miscalculated.

If it's a miscalculation, then the matter is not over, and then it will not be as simple as impeachment.

And Qin Huaidao looked at this scene with a sneer, of course he knew what those civil officials were thinking.

"There is a difference, how much is the difference?" Li Shimin sat on it, looked at the official below and asked.
