Chapter 216

Fang Xuanling and Li Jing were very satisfied when they saw Qin Huaidao being so humble.

They were worried that Qin Huaidao had no one in his eyes because of his youthful ambition.

When Qin Huaidao beat people before, Li Jing felt in his heart that Qin Huaidao was unlikely to be such a person, but he couldn't help but have such worries.

Today, when he learned that Qin Huaidao beat people because he had a hand to clean up those officials who were greedy for ink, Li Jing was extremely relieved, and now he is even more satisfied when he sees Qin Huaidao like this!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao still arched his hand and said.

"Sit, I'll tell you, when you get up later, I will fine you 100 yuan at a time, and at the same time, deduct 10,000 yuan from the Ministry of Industry's funds!" Li Shimin pointed at Qin Huaidao and said with a smile and threatened.

"Huh?" Qin Huaidao was dumbfounded at the moment, but he didn't bring such a play!

Although you are the emperor, you can't do this.

"Come on, Pepin, sit down, don't get up, I'll sit next to you, and I'll hold you down until you get up!" Zhang Liang pulled Qin Huaidao and sat down next to him, saying very happily.

Qin Huaidao had no choice but to sit down, and the other ministers also sat down.

"That's right! In the past few days, not to mention the hard work, there are still so many ministers impeaching you, and if you are someone else, I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand it for a long time. Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile, and at the same time poured tea for the others.

"Your Majesty, this is all up to your support, if it weren't for you suppressing those impeachments, the ministers wouldn't be able to review the account books." Qin Huaidao sat there and arched his hand.

"Don't give it up, it's the same punishment to give it up, talk well." Li Shimin warned Qin Huaidao.

"This, yes!" Qin Huaidao is helpless.

Anyway, it's good to be as happy as you like, as a courtier, what else can you do.

"I already knew that there must be ink greed in it, but I didn't know that they were so greedy for ink, they were just beasts!" Li Shimin sat there, gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Majesty, in fact, if you really want to investigate carefully, I am afraid it will exceed 2 million, and the ministers found that the materials they procured, compared with the prices recorded by the Ministry of Household and Industry, have more than doubled.

Of course, it is possible to purchase supplies from the palace, and the price is slightly higher, but it is unlikely to be so high.

Let's take mahogany as an example, the best mahogany, about a foot in diameter, is only about 4 yuan a piece, but the price of the carpenter's workshop of the Ministry of Industry is more than 10 yuan a piece, and the moisture in it is very large! Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin, the crown prince Li Chengqian, and Sun Fujia looked at Qin Huaidao in shock.

Here in the palace, I don't know how much mahogany I have to purchase in a year, and it is larger than this diameter, I don't know how much, just mahogany, I don't know how much money they are going to be greedy for.

"This, this!"

"Is this so bold?"...

Several ministers looked at Qin Huaidao, a little incredulous.

"Check, don't let go of any of them, don't let go of any of them." Li Shimin said very angrily.

And Li Chengqian also clenched his fists, so greedy for ink, the Ministry of Industry didn't know how much money he would lose in a year.

"Minister, dereliction of duty, please punish Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang stood up at this moment and said to Li Shimin.

"Punish you for anything, you won't settle accounts, those account books, I haven't read them, the records are really messy, and it's a headache to read.

The people below, knowing that we don't know craftsmen and don't know arithmetic, deliberately deceive us, what can you do? Li Shimin said to Zhang Liang.

"Yes, hey, hateful, minister, minister, hey!" Zhang Liang wiped away tears at the moment.

Fang Xuanling next to him patted him on the back.

"Minister, ashamed of the poor officials of the Ministry of Industry, they are really poor, but the people in those workshops below, actually, actually, minister, hey!" Zhang Liang was a little speechless with excitement at the moment.

The officials who serve in the Ministry of Industry are all poor, but the people in the workshops below are very rich, and Zhang Liang is heartbroken when he thinks of this.

"Okay, Zhang Liang, don't be so sad, we had no way before, but now we have a way, and we can't cure them?" Li Shimin sat there and said comforting Zhang Liang.

"Therefore, the minister hopes to be able to reissue the rewards for these years, especially the officials of the poor family, if possible, for the entire fifteen years of Zhenguan, the officials who served in the Ministry of Industry will be reissued according to the grade at that time!" Qin Huaidao sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"Reissue, I agree, in this way, according to the standard of last year's household department, the one-time reissue is in place, I can't let those honest ministers suffer!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"Thank you~!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao just wanted to hug his fists and say thank you, but he was held down by Zhang Liang.

He said to Li Shimin, thank you, Your Majesty.

Qin Huaidao could only look at Li Shimin helplessly, and then looked at Zhang Liang.

"There's no way, 10,000 at a time, that's the only way, otherwise, when we go back, you'll be fine, and I'll be scolded to death by those officials!" Zhang Liang looked at Qin Huaidao with a wry smile and said.

"Haha, that's what it is!" Li Shimin was very happy to see Qin Huaidao like this.

In addition, the minister also requested that the official residence be built for the officials of the poor family, in fact, it does not cost much money.

I calculated that there are less than 4,000 officials in Chang'an, and there are about 3,000 officials at the bottom of the real hierarchy, and those who don't have a house are about 200 people, and it takes 2,000 yuan to build a house, but the most expensive thing is the land.

The land is royal, if you put aside the land, a building of 1,000 yuan is enough, a total of only 200,000 yuan! It is completely able to relieve the worries of those officials!

If they leave the capital and go to work in other places, then their houses need to be vacated for new officials, and more houses can be added in the future.

Chen believes that in the future, there will be more poor officials to serve in Chang'an! Qin Huaidao sat there and said to Li Shimin again.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin heard it and nodded.

"Your Majesty, if you rely on salary, it is no longer possible for the officials of the Tang Dynasty to buy a house in Chang'an, a courtyard of one acre of land costs two thousand yuan, and it will become more and more expensive in the future.

As for the officials of the Tang Dynasty, the salary plus rewards for eight or nine products a year is only 50 yuan, and they need to work without eating or drinking for 40 years.

In this way, those officials will be forced to find a way to get money, and if they are provided with a good official residence, they will be able to save money, and when they are old, they will also be able to return to their hometown with a sum of money to buy a good house. Qin Huaidao sat there and said again to Li Shimin.

"Your proposal is very good, then build, land, I will set aside a piece for you, when the time comes, your Ministry of Industry will build it first, and other departments will also be ready to start building, I also believe that there will be more and more poor officials in my Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin thought about it for a while, nodded at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang spoke before Qin Huaidao.

"Pepin thinks very far, very far-reaching!" Li Shimin sat there, nodded, and said very seriously.

"Your Majesty, if you want the Hanmen officials to devote themselves to the court, you must solve their worries.

They are not the children of the family, the children of the family have a house in Chang'an, if they don't have a house, the family will also reward them, they can buy it in Chang'an City, but the officials of the poor family, how can they buy it? Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Erchen also agreed with what Hu Guogong considered and agreed to build an official residence." Li Chengqian said with a fist at Li Shimin.

"Okay, the Ministry of Industry will build it first, and when it's finished, I'll see those houses for myself!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.

"Yes!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"Well, what else do you want to say about this audit?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to kill them all? If you want to kill them all, many big people may have to be involved, and once they are killed, there may not be many officials in the court to replenish! Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is also what the minister is worried about!" Fang Xuanling took the words at this moment and asked Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to check the accounts, but if you really kill them all, it will inevitably affect the operation of the court. Now there is no way for the officials of the cold door to add in! Li Jing also looked at Li Shimin worriedly and said.

"Hey, it seems that you have all thought of it, I am also worried, since I finished talking to Boping in the early morning, I have begun to worry, and I don't know how to deal with this group of officials." Li Shimin said with a sigh.

There is really no one, if someone is an official, Li Shimin will really kill all those officials!

"Have a good idea?" Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

He thought that Qin Huaidao would definitely have a good idea.

"Yes, Pepin, do you have a good idea?" Li Shimin also stared at Qin Huaidao at this moment and asked.

"Your Majesty, if you want to talk about ideas, there is indeed an immature, two plans!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"Tell me about it?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao as he spoke.

The other ministers also looked at Qin Huaidao's side.

They didn't know how to deal with these officials for a while, and it would definitely not work if they didn't deal with them, but they couldn't kill them all.

"Your Majesty, the first plan: draw a line, such as how much money is greedy for ink, kill the head, to another level, the whole family will be beheaded, and if you don't reach this line, you will pay three times the fine, downgrade to three levels, and at the same time, you will not be promoted within three years!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

"Well, good, good, draw a line, mark them, good!" Li Shimin heard it, nodded and said.

"Well, this is okay, draw the line directly, for those who are greedy for too much ink, it's not a pity to cut it, and it's okay to copy it all over the house." Fang Xuanling touched his beard and nodded, agreeing with Qin Huaidao's plan.
