In the past two years, from the household department to the Ministry of Industry, Tang Ning has traveled all over the six departments and has seen too many things.

Among the officials in the six departments, there are those who are corrupt, those who pervert the law, those who are vegetarian, and those who form parties for personal gain, and the real Qingliu cannot be said to be none, but Tang Ning has indeed not seen much.

No one is perfect, and this saying is applicable everywhere and at all times.

For example, he can't ask Tang Yaoyao to have long legs and a convex and backward figure at the same time; You can't ask Zhao Man to be innocent and cute, and at the same time, she must be as mature and charming as Su Mei, so that a woman is not nothing, but she can't be sought, and she can't let one person take advantage of any benefit.

In the same way, the officials of the court and the central government have more or less flaws in their character, some love money, some are greedy for sex, but they do their part very well, and they have been unanimously praised by everyone, compared with them, not many people pay attention to their corrupt private life.

Tang Ning looked at the Mo Dao on the ground, and what he saw through it was not a person, but a group of people.

It is not a matter of bribing one or two people to make these problematic power tools from the salt works in various places all the way to the Ministry of Industry, and then bypass the inspection procedures of the Ministry of Industry and transport them to the local area.

Moreover, there is more than this set of power tools that are problematic, there are fewer when there should be less, and more when there should be more, which has formed a complete industrial chain, the collusion between officials and businessmen, the wool of the imperial court, and the corner of Emperor Chen, I don't know how many years it has been dug and how much it has been eaten.

Tang Ning looked at the little official and said, "Go and find Zhang Langzhong." ”

Zhang Hao quickly walked in and asked, "My lord, but what's wrong with this batch of ordnance?" ”

Tang Ning didn't answer his question and asked, "Who has tested the power of the Ministry of Industry on weekdays?" ”

Although Zhang Hao didn't know what he was asking for, he still replied honestly: "Lord Hui, these powerful weapons are personally inspected by Cui Shilang every time. ”

Tang Ning sighed lightly and muttered, "Cui Shilang, ......"

Tang Ning actually didn't want to be called a broom star, but he had been carrying this pot for so long that he couldn't pick it off if he wanted to, and no one would listen to his explanation.

Zhang Hao looked at him and asked tentatively, "My lord, but there is a problem with this batch of power weapons?" ”

"Arrest all the craftsmen who make the power vessels." Tang Ning nodded, looked at him, and said, "Lord Zhang must be ready to carry the heavy burden......

"Huh?" Zhang Hao looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What burden?" ”

……

Above the early dynasty.

The recent early dynasties have lasted for a long time, and the situation has changed, and the imperial court has to make a lot of arrangements every day to deal with any changes that may occur in the future.

At this time, Duanwang and Hubu Shangshu have been in a stalemate in the court for a long time.

The reason for the stalemate is the expansion of the martial arts, and His Majesty ordered the king to be responsible for this matter, but the martial arts does not mean that the expansion can be expanded, the expansion of the place requires silver, the remuneration of the examiner needs silver, the arrangement of competitions requires silver, and the bonuses set up to attract talents also need silver, and these silver need to be taken out of the treasury.

But it is not easy to get money from the household, and it often requires some haggling, and you can only get the lowest amount.

If in the past, King Kang and King Duan never cared about the silver in order to compete for the right to speak in the court, and the household department gave less, and they would make up the rest themselves.

But now it is different from the past, Duanwang and his family have suffered a huge blow, and they have become scattered, and the Tang family, which Duanwang relied on, was also robbed of his money bag in Jiangnan, and now Duanwang is poor and white, I am afraid that he will not be able to take out much silver.

Hubu Shangshu looked at King Duan, and said: "Your Highness, two thousand taels of silver can't be more, now that the war in the northwest is tight, Your Majesty has even donated the silver of the inner house, and the surplus silver of the treasury is all used in the northwest, and you can't take out too much silver......"

King Duan looked at him and frowned: "What this king has done, isn't it a matter of supporting the northwest, expanding the martial arts, in order to send more generals to the army, can't Lord Qian even see this clearly?" ”

Seeing that King Duan had to argue with Hubu Shangshu for so long even a few thousand taels of silver, King Kang showed a smile on his face and said: "The imperial brother can't blame Lord Qian, the treasury is tight, and every amount of silver must be used on the blade, as a prince, I should share the worries for my father and the court, but it is just a few thousand taels of silver, and the imperial brother himself will take it out of the mansion, if the imperial brother is short of money, it is better to take five thousand taels from the imperial brother first, how about it?" ”

The officials looked at each other, and what King Kang said was clearly helpful, but it was actually mockery.

He was mocking Duanwang for not even being able to take out a few thousand taels of silver, and once again uncovered Duanwang's scars.

As we all know, King Duan's reliance is on the Tang family, and most of the Tang family's wealth comes from the Su family in Jiangnan.

A few days ago, Tang Ning went to the south of the Yangtze River and directly copied the Su family, and all the family property was attributed to the imperial court.

King Kang is different, behind him are the small and medium-sized magnates in Beijing, although they have also been dealt with in the past days, but compared to the situation of King Duan, it is undoubtedly much better.

King Duan could naturally hear the deep meaning of King Kang's words, if he accepted King Kang's gift, wouldn't it mean that he was reluctant to give out even a few thousand taels of silver, but let King Kang fall into the favor.

He looked at King Kang and said indifferently: "This matter, don't bother the imperial brother, if you are poor, two thousand taels of silver is enough......"

King Kang waved his hand and said, "It's all a family, no need to be polite." ”

King Duan glanced at him and said, "Brother Huang's heart is understood, I can still handle this little thing......"

The officials had long been accustomed to King Kang Duanwang pretending to be a brother and friend in the court, and several officials stepped forward to report some things, and saw a person coming out of the front crowd.

There are rules for the standing position in the court, the more officials who stand, the higher the official position, the greater the power, when everyone sees the figure standing out, many people can't help but "chuckle" in their hearts.

Tang Ning made a sound, and the chicken and dog were restless.

This is a rule that hundreds of officials have summed up since he walked six parts, as long as he takes the initiative to speak, there will definitely be nothing good, and there is a high probability that some people are going to be unlucky.

Even Chen Huang, who was leaning on the dragon chair, couldn't help but sit up straight when he saw Tang Ning standing up, and asked, "What does Tang Aiqing have to play?" ”

Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is ordered by His Majesty to temporarily act as a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, but the minister in the Ministry of Industry unexpectedly found that someone in the Ministry of Industry has done something with the weapon, and the ordnance created is less than two catties, and the power of the weapons sent to the salt fields and mines in various places has a certain aggravation, and the minister suspects that someone has filled his own pockets and embezzled a large amount of salt and iron in the imperial court...... please check it." ”

As soon as Tang Ning's words came out, the court immediately became silent.

The Ministry of Industry is the most abundant Yamen among the six ministries, which everyone knows well.

On weekdays, it is common to repair bridges and pave roads, repair palaces, allocate money to the household department or the inner government, and deduct a little money from officials of the Ministry of Industry in private, as long as there are no major problems, even His Majesty will turn a blind eye.

But they even dare to lack a pound or two of their ordnance, but their courage is too great, that is to regard the lives of border soldiers as child's play, and it has touched the bottom line of the imperial court.

This is not the most serious, the most serious thing is that they actually stretched out their hands to salt and iron, the imperial court salt and iron monopoly, in order to nationalize this huge industry, they are good, they actually directly do it on it......

Everyone knows that this matter is by no means something that can be done by one person or two people, and if you shake your head, you may be able to shake out dozens or hundreds of people......

Duan Wang stood in the hall, a little surprised by this news, King Kang's throat moved up and down, pursed his dry lips, and felt a burst of dizziness.

"What a guts!" Chen Huang calmed his face, stood up from the dragon chair, and said sharply: "Give me a check, don't let any of them go!" ”
