"Oops, Oops......

Li Liang, the head of the household department, who has been standing by and watching since Fang Cai, is full of pain at the moment.

It was quite a remarkable thing to allow the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to build their own treasury and to manage their own revenues and expenditures.

I remember that after the fraud case in the department, the head of the six departments of the Ministry of Officials suddenly fell from the peak of power from the top and fell to pieces: the rights and interests of hosting the imperial examination were handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the rights of the supervising officials were completely stripped out, and a new imperial history platform was set up.

Once upon a time, officials in the ministry held the big killer weapon of "supervision and evaluation".

If any of the officials of the other five ministries offends the officials of the ministry, then the official of the ministry, when evaluating the other party's political achievements, annotate one or two sentences such as "official style is not right", which is enough to make the other party unable to eat and walk around.

But now, the times have changed, with the rise of the Imperial Historical Tower, the prestige of the Ministry of Officials has deteriorated, and it is no longer the situation where one Ministry of Officials overrides the other five departments.

This makes those officials who used to walk with their heads held high and eager to let their eyes grow on the top of their heads, but now they can only be honest with their tails between their legs.

And during the period when the officials were planted, the household department gradually began to emerge.

It is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the fear of the Ministry of Households, no one is afraid, after all, the officials of the Ministry of Household control the treasury, economy, and warehouse of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Not to mention that every year, when it is time to prepare new armaments or prepare to build some major project, the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry beg their grandfather to tell their grandmother, begging the officials of the Ministry of Industry to pay the money happily, instead of delaying it intentionally or unintentionally.

In this regard, the military department has always been very aggrieved. Because they have to ask for a huge amount of military expenses from the household department every year, and part of this military expenditure is used to pay the military salaries of the domestic garrison army and garrison army, and part of it is used to develop and build new military equipment.

For example, the iron shields on the side of the Wei soldiers in the Junshui Battalion were all made by the blacksmiths of the "Soldier Casting Bureau" under the Ministry of War.

The Wei Rong Army is okay to say, it seems that the old men of the garrison army in the Junshui Camp and the Dangshan Camp are not easy to serve. In the eyes of the officials of the military department, those military men of the garrison army scolded them all day and night except for training.

But is the root cause of the problem in their military department? How was it not because of the slow delivery of the military spending?

Therefore, don't look at the bad relationship between the military department and the military, in fact, their relationship with the household department is even worse.

In a word: if they do well, it should be; If they don't do enough, even if the fault actually lies with the household department, they can only silently carry the black pot. was pointed at his nose and scolded by the military men of the garrison.

As the country's government in charge of infrastructure construction, they gave the Ministry of War (iron-making) and the Ministry of Households (large molds for casting copper coins), as if they had done all the dirtiest and most tiring work in the Great Wei Dynasty, but as a result, their status in the Ministry of Industry was always at the bottom of the six.

How long has it been since the idea of "opening up the land of three rivers" has been proposed? But so far, the Ministry of Industry has not recruited enough labor, why?

Except that the population of Great Wei was not as dense as that of Chu. Isn't the main reason still the lack of money in the hands of the Ministry of Industry?

Otherwise, a lot of money will be spilled out. How could Great Wei, with a population of four to six million, really recruit less than 100,000 laborers?

In a word, both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are fed up with the pain of being constrained by the Ministry of Household in terms of funds, and they are eager to get all the funds needed for that year in place at the beginning of spring every year, instead of asking them to urge them again and again. And again and again, he was prevaricated by household officials for various reasons.

Because of this, when Zhao Hongrun put forward this suggestion, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, two difficult brothers who use money like big money, suddenly changed from the quarreling mode of Fang Cai to the same hatred of the enemy. stared at the many officials of the household department, especially Li Liang, the secretary of the household department.

Seeing this scene, Li Liang, the head of the household department, couldn't wait to find a sword to stab his deputy, Fan Biao, the left waiter.

If there was no such thing as a provocation against His Royal Highness King Su, how could His Royal Highness King Su propose this kind of salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, as if he wanted to cramp and peel the skin of the household?

Hehe, allow the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to build a treasury and take charge of their own fiscal revenues and expenditures?

So what will they be in the future? Specially raise funds for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, and free up the money handed over from the whole country and immediately transfer it to these two ministries?

Thinking of this, although Li Liang, the head of the household department, had already decided to ignore the matter that Fan Biao had made up before, but at this moment, he couldn't sit still, because if he couldn't make Zhao Hongrun dispel this idea, then not only would the household department not be able to replace the position of the former official department in the future, but he would even "raise" two masters: the military department and the engineering department.

"Your Highness, that's not right...... right," Li Liang said with a wry smile.

"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "But this king doesn't see it that way, as far as this king knows, in the past, the way for the household department to transfer the funds to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry was through the instant reports of the two ministries......"

For example, if the Ministry of War is preparing to build a new armament, assuming that it costs millions of dollars, then the Ministry of War will submit an approximate amount to the Ministry of Households, and after receiving the report, the Ministry of Household will transport the required iron, coal, wood and part of the funds to the Ministry of War through the "warehouse", which is also responsible for the transportation of national resources.

The process during this period took two or three months at least, and at most half a year, plus the time for the military department to build the armament and the time for transporting this armament to the garrison army, it is no wonder that those garrison troops have to scold the military department every time.

The more serious problem is that if the military department needs another expenditure that year, they have to repeat the process of submitting the report to the household department, and these can be more concise in Zhao Hongrun's view.

“…… Therefore, this king thinks that it is better to do this, and at the beginning of spring every year, the household department will formulate a distribution plan. The tax revenue obtained by our Great Wei last year will be transferred to the treasury of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry according to a certain proportion, and the use of this money will be decided by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry through consultation, but every expenditure must be recorded in detail. At the end of the year, it is handed over to the household department, and the household department, or even the adult of the imperial history platform, will help supervise and settle the treasury and account books. …… In addition, if there is a surplus of money in the current year, it will be accumulated in the following year, and this will be repeated year after year. ”

Hearing Zhao Hongrun's words, Xu Guan, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and Meng Kui, the left attendant of the Ministry of Engineering, could be said to be overjoyed.

In their opinion. Regardless of whether Zhao Hongrun's move is regarded as a "sanction" against the Ministry of Households, it is undeniable that this mode of operation can greatly shorten the time for raising funds before the project, and furthermore, during the project period, the project will not be temporarily shelved because of the delay of the Ministry of Households, and the days will be wasted in vain, which can be said to have completely lifted the shackles of the Ministry of Household to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

However, Zhao Hongrun's words were heard in Li Liang's ears. This head of the household department disagreed.

In fact, it's not just Li Liang, I believe that there is any household official in the hall at this moment. will not willingly accept Zhao Hongrun's suggestion.

After all, once this suggestion is acquiesced, it means that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry will be transformed into the masters of their household departments, and the status of their household departments in the DPRK and China will plummet, and they will be reduced to running errands for the two big money-spending households, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, to raise funds and transport necessary materials.

How can you endure this?

But the problem is that His Royal Highness King Su said it in a conclusive and coherent manner. They really don't know how to object.

I believe that the household officials at this moment hate Fan Biao in their hearts, after all, the situation has developed to this point because of this guy's trouble.

However, hatred is hate, and what should be faced is still to be faced.

Long. He Yang, the division of the household department, said stubbornly: "The suggestion made by His Royal Highness King Su is indeed unique, but according to the lower officials, if the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have private treasury, then what is the significance of the treasury of our household department?" Why should our household department, which is responsible for coordinating the country's expenditures, continue to exist? ”

"Lord He Yang can rest assured of this." Zhao Hongrun smiled and waved his hand and said: "The treasury in charge of the household department is still unique, and this king just suggested that part of the military expenses and construction needs be handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry in advance." Moreover, the meaning of the existence of the household department, how can it only guard the money in the treasury? ”

"This ......," the household officials looked at each other.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Of course, this king is not a lone person, why don't we raise our hands and vote to see whether there are more people in favor or against." …… As for the candidates to vote, whether it is limited to the three adults who are in the Shangshu, or whether it includes the squire, the Shilang, and the Lang official, they are all chosen by the household department, how about it? ”

"Choice? Choose a fart! Is there a difference?'

Hearing this, the household officials in the hall subconsciously looked at Meng Kui, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, and the Shangshu and Waiter of the Ministry of War, and muttered secretly in their hearts.

Of the six departments of the imperial court, which ministry is not one Shangshu, two squires, four Shilang, and twelve Lang officials?

Even if all the officials of their household department voted against, the votes in favor of the two ministries of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Industry were not one against two?

Is there a chance that they will win?

Bullying people like this clearly, even Li Liang, the head of the household department, felt a little uncomfortable, frowned and said: "Your Highness, this way of voting is not fair to my household department. …… Anyone with a discerning eye can see that both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry will vote in favor......"

"That's it......" Zhao Hongrun touched his chin when he heard this, and vaguely there seemed to be a murderous light in his eyes that flashed away, and he suggested with a smile: "Since this is the case, then invite the six departments of the imperial court to vote together, this is finally fair, right?" ”

"Fair fart! That's not just one vote to two, it's probably one vote to five!!"

Li Liang, the head of the household department, was suddenly as big as a fight.

You must know that at present, it can only be regarded as a private discussion between their three ministries, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry, but if His Royal Highness King Su calls the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites, if in the end each ministry opens its mouth to build a treasury of the Ministry of Households, then what is the meaning of the treasury in the hands of their Ministry of Households?

Li Liang quietly glanced at the Shangshu Sheyou of the Ministry of Rites, and saw the latter's strange expression and rolling eyes, and suddenly secretly screamed in his heart.

Following Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he Li Liang finally tasted the methods of His Royal Highness King Su. (To be continued.) )
