In his past life and present life, Han Yi is used to being free and easy, although he is now subject to a certain amount of restraint, but he still does not want to be restrained in his heart, as the so-called do not want to do to others, he is not very willing to restrain others, so he supports Xiao Wuyi, Yuan Peony, and Yang Feixue, not only them, but even Xiao Ye and Sangmu, Han Yi doesn't care much about them, like Xiaopang and Andy, their business is all taken care of by themselves, and Han Yi rarely asks.

Xiao Wuyi said that, how could Han Yi not think that he admired business, and under his leadership, the establishment of any department had a great relationship with business. Is the Civil Security Bureau really suitable for the Tang Dynasty during the Yonghui period, it can be said that it is a knife to kill chickens, at that time, the people could not leave the village for a lifetime, and there were squires in the township, what royal police were needed, and the government was enough, and the Civil Security Bureau was established to cooperate with the development of commerce, which was part of his plan.

The Women's Federation Bureau is also in the plan, but to say that the Women's Federation Bureau to protect the women of the world, this is tantamount to a pipe dream, there is no hope in the next ten years, first of all, it is very difficult for you to popularize, and you can't manage the countryside, the ancients attached great importance to secular etiquette, especially in the countryside, the Women's Federation Bureau is mainly for the city to serve, women come to work in the city, will encounter a lot of problems, because men and women are not equal, coupled with the existence of secular etiquette, for example, it is not good for this woman to show up, This requires a women's federation bureau to protect women from being oppressed.

Only if women live well in the city, more women will come to work in the city.

But even so, Han Yiwu felt very happy, because he didn't expect Xiao Wuyi to think of this so quickly, which proves that he didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, Xiao Wuyi is indeed very suitable for the Women's Federation, the agriculture and mulberry of the small peasant economy also include men and women, and industry and commerce are also inseparable from women, and now there is a lack of manpower, especially under the uniform land system, there are no professional soldiers, soldiers and farmers are one, with the growth of industry and commerce, it is impossible to avoid this situation, once men go to war, women have to be quickly replenished, Take on the heavy responsibility of production, otherwise, as soon as the man goes to the battlefield, the workshop will have to face closure, which is very embarrassing.

In other words, now Xiao Wuyi has also become part of the Han Yi plan.

But this takes time, but the rice transplanter is imminent, first, the Yuan family has been urging, but the most important thing is the funding of the Sixth Academy of the Sage, he can donate money to the Sixth Academy of the Sage, but this is not a long-term way to think of a way, Han Yi originally planned to sell it directly, because he doesn't need to have a meeting for this kind of thing, he is the head of the household, increase the funds to the official office, the authority of the Ministry of Households, this Li Zhi is not there, and it is not a big deal, he can have the final say, and then he will write to the emperor and make this matter clear.

It's just that Li Chunfeng and Yan Liben's concerns are not wrong, Han Yi has cut the expenses of the official office before, if he doesn't say it, the ministers will definitely complain to the emperor, this Li Zhi is not there, I don't know the reason for the whole thing, this will become very troublesome, so Han Yi finally decided to convene a pivotal meeting.

The Hall of Politics.

It is Xu Jingzong, Du Zhenglun, Li Yifu, Lu Chengqing, Han Yi, and Wei Siqian.

Xu Yushi was not there, and he didn't call Li Ji, because everyone knew that he wouldn't come if he called, Cui Yixuan went to the soil with most of his body, and before Li Zhi left, he talked to Wei Siqian, and everyone also knew that Wei Siqian was the successor, and he had to be called. Ren Yaxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was involved at first, but now after so many things, he found that he still tried not to mix this matter, as long as it has nothing to do with the Ministry of War, he will not participate, because he knows that he can't play these people.

Dali Temple Qing Xin Mao General, some time ago, wiped Li Yifu's ass and wiped his body and mind, now that the emperor is gone, he has to take care of it, take a rest, as long as Li Yifu doesn't go to him, he is satisfied, and he doesn't want to mix.

The six people sitting here are basically not giving in to each other, even if it is Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, they have to act according to the situation, if the two of them form a small group and want to control the government, then the remaining four will definitely unite, this power structure is very fragmented, why can Li Zhi leave with confidence, that is, no one can take power, what is it like when I go, what is it when I come back, they divide power like this, they are determined to put an end to the next eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi in history also did this, Since the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi has never had a minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, and it may be precisely because of this that he created Wu Zetian, if there is the eldest grandson Wuji, then there is no Wu Zetian.

"I would like to invite you here today because I have something I would like you to discuss." Han Yi got straight to the point, everyone had no friendship, if there was something to talk about, he would leave after talking, "Actually, this matter was originally a matter of my household, but now that His Majesty is not here, I think it is better to talk about money clearly, so as not to get entangled." ”

Everyone was silent and waited for the following, which shows that they really have no friendship.

Han Yi continued: "This matter is about the funding of the Sixth Academy of the Sage, because the Sixth Academy of the Sage has carried out a lot of research and development work, and the expenses are relatively large, and now it has bottomed out, and I hope to increase the funding." ”

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "It turns out that Han Shangshu is a reasonable person, I knew that this was the case, and I didn't have to save money when I was in the province." ”

"Xu Shizhong, don't say that."

Han Yi hurriedly stopped Xu Jingzong, if he didn't express his position, absolutely no one objected to him increasing the funds, as long as you increase, then the rest of the official offices will also apply for funds, and said: "This is also one of the reasons why I discussed with you, the Sixth Academy of the Sage is not to say that the money will be used to eat, drink and have fun, but really put into research and development, you should know very well about the two crops of rice, in the past, farmers planted one season a year, and now they have to plant two crops a year, which increases the amount of work of farmers, for this reason the Sixth Academy of Sages is in line with the purpose of people-oriented, In the past year, we have been working hard to develop a rice transplanter, which you have all seen at the beginning, and now it has achieved great results, and it will definitely be ready for use next year. This money is all used on the people, and there is a reason why the Six Houses of the Sage applied for funding, not without a purpose. ”

Lu Chengqing nodded slightly, he had seen the rice transplanter, he thought that it was beneficial to the people, and it was worth it for the Sage Sixth Academy to spend the money on it.

Xu Jingzong said: "Is the bicycle also made for the people?" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "If Xu Shizhong can ride a bicycle to work in Menxia Province in the future, then the soldiers will have one more good horse, I don't know who Xu Shizhong thinks the bicycle is developed for?" ”

Xu Jingzong was stunned, and then said: "Dare to ask Han Shangshu, which official office in the three provinces and six ministries is not doing things for the people, is it that the six courts of the sage are people-oriented, when Han Shangshu cut the funds of the official office, he didn't say so." ”

Han Yi said: "I cut the funds of the official office, you don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes, I'm just avoiding waste." ”

Xu Jingzong contended with each other: "Why do you say that other government offices are wasteful, as far as the system is concerned, this is not your household department's business, your household department only manages the state finances, and the money in the treasury is not the household department's, nor your Han Yi's, the official office funds are stipulated and cannot be increased at will." ”

Han Yi said: "If it is according to the system, I don't need to come to discuss with you, the Six Sage Courts have a good reason, and I have the right to increase the funds of the Six Sage Courts." ”

Xu Jingzong said: "What is the legitimate reason, your rice transplanter does not say whether it can work, even if it can work, I ask you what the rice transplanter is made of, gold, silver, copper, gold, silver and copper, can the people afford it, if it is made of wood, but the wood is not worth as much as ink, then do you have to increase the funds for the three provinces." ”

"You're using strong words."

"The old man is just talking about things."

Xu Jingzong is very cool, at this point, he has an absolute reason to stop Han Yi, he has always been unable to compete with him before, and this time he has to fight for a long time.

Li Yifu suddenly spoke: "The two of you are dissipated, please listen to the next word." ”

The two glared at each other, but neither spoke.

Li Yifu said: "If this is really what Han Shangshu said, it is indeed a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is understandable to increase funds." But Xu Shizhong's words are not unreasonable, this research and development cost is the most difficult to calculate, even if the sage six academies take out the account book, which clearly states where the money is used, but this is not military spending, nor is it a purchase, this is impossible to check, this research and development account is not easy to calculate! ”

Wei Siqian nodded and said: "Li Zhongshu is reasonable, not only that, the imperial court also has to strictly limit the funds of the Sixth Court of the Sage, and must not increase a penny, if there is such a precedent, even if someone in the Sixth Court of the Sage embezzles public funds in the future, there will be no way to investigate." ”

Wei Siqian and Li Yifu are as deep as the sea, but Wei Siqian is a little too upright, in business, he is just on the matter, today I support you Li Yifu, if there is evidence that you are favoritism and fraud, covering up your son, I will have to send you to Dali Temple the next moment.

So Li Yifu didn't have any emotion, this hatred is big.

In fact, they are very reasonable, the cost of research and development is definitely not calculated, you can only need consistent money for a successful research and development, if you fail a hundred times to succeed, you may need a hundred dollars, if there is no success, the money is spent, and nothing can be taken out, it is even worse. In fact, the funding of scientific research is to see whether a country values scientific research, and it cannot be budgeted, and today's Datang can not be described as heavy on literature and light on reason.

Wei Siqian thinks that even if you have a reason, but once you open this opening, you will not be able to block it in the future, there will be a lot of corruption problems, once the court starts to be corrupt, then everything is over, so it must be stopped.

Han Yi said: "If the funds are not increased, then the Sixth Sage Academy will have to close." ”

Xu Jingzong sneered: "Speaking of this, the old man is very curious, Han Shangshu is good at managing money, everyone knows this, no one knows, even the old man admires it, Han Shangshu is the president of the Sixth Academy of the Sage, and he is also the head of the household department, how should this money be used, there should be no one more powerful than Han Shangshu, how can it be possible to put the Sixth Academy of the Sage into a financial dilemma, this is really incomprehensible!" ”

The rest of the group nodded their heads as well.

Xu Jingzong is unforgiving, "Of course, the old man believes that Han Shangshu can't look down on this money, this is a heartfelt statement, and it does not contain the slightest irony, but Han Shangshu can work hard, all year round, he can stay in the Sixth Academy of Sages today, how do the people below do things, I think Han Shangshu shouldn't know very well, Han Shangshu should pay attention to this matter!" ”

After speaking, he also glanced at Wei Siqian.

Wei Si's humble heart is like a mirror, which is a hint that they should go to investigate the Sage Six Courtyards.

You took the initiative to send it to the door!

This old immortal is really insidious enough. Han Yi scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "As Xu Shizhong said, I don't dare to say anything else, in terms of money, I still have some achievements, not to mention that I am still in Chang'an, even if I am in Yangzhou, as long as I am still the head of the household, no one can take an extra penny from the treasury." If Yushitai has doubts about this, he can go to investigate, and he can't take it to the political hall to talk about it, which is a waste of everyone's time.

What I want to say is that the rice transplanter invented by our Sage Sixth Academy is beneficial to the country and the people, which I can pat my chest and promise, if you don't believe it, you can also go and see it, which proves the value of the Sage Sixth Academy, so the increase in funds is only for the country and the people, not for a certain person. If the Sixth Academy of the Sage had just invented a rice transplanter for the benefit of the people, and it would be closed the next moment, what would the people think? ”

Xu Jingzong said lightly: "I have already said this, which official office is not for the country and the people, you use this as a reason to increase funds, hehe, it's not that it can't be done, I'm afraid that everyone will follow suit in the future, and whether you can go on as a household secretary at that time, the old man is deeply worried!" ”

In the final analysis, Han Yi cut official fees and official prostitutes at the beginning, which hurt their interests, and now you want to increase funds, which is impossible.

The meeting was at an impasse for a while, and Han Yi's increase in funding was nothing more than a few reasons, Xu Jingzong denied them all, and everyone felt that this was a waste of time, because there was no hope of negotiating at all.

Li Yifu suggested that everyone take a break first and talk later.

His intentions are very obvious, he is completely unprincipled, he thinks that anything can be discussed, but what is for the country and the people should not be discussed, let's talk about something practical, everyone think about it, what political interests can be exchanged. He doesn't dare to show off his might now, he is aggressive, he likes the exchange of political interests more, and it is better that everyone owes him favors, and when he writes to intercede for Li Yang, who is embarrassed to object.

Wei Siqian saw it in his eyes, how could he not understand it in his heart, and made up his mind to resolutely stop it, he thought that if he always did this, wouldn't it be just the protection of officials and officials, I will give you convenience, and you will also give me convenience.

Half an hour later, a few people returned to the hall, and Du Zhenglun, who had been silent in front, suddenly said: "I think everyone has a point, if you fight any further, there is no point in talking, there is no need to talk about it, it is impossible to increase funds, but what the Sixth Academy of Sages has done is also worthy of affirmation, why don't you see if there is any other way." ”

Xu Jingzong immediately said: "It's not that there is no way, Han Shangshu is so rich, why don't you donate a little money to the Sixth Academy of the Sage, I think this is just a drop in the bucket for Han Shangshu." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "What Xu Shizhong said is good, but this is my personal money, Xu Shizhong, will you pay money from your family to make up for the next province?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "I have always advocated frugality in Menxia Province, and I don't need to pay money from my family. ”

Du Zhenglun frowned and said, "Why are you fighting again, if this is the case again, then don't talk about it." ”

Xu Jingzong smiled lightly and said no more.

I was so happy in my heart, and I finally avenged Han Yi's reduction in the funds of the official office.

Han Yi covered his face with both hands, kneaded it vigorously, sighed, and said, "Everyone, I hope you understand that I don't have any selfish motives in doing this, I just want to invent more good tools for the country and the people, that's all, I thought you would support me." ”

Everyone didn't make a sound, of course they believed that Han Yi wouldn't care about this money, but the problem was that the R&D funds couldn't be calculated, so this is a bottomless pit, you give ten times this year, and next year it will be twenty times, and the people below can unscrupulously use the public for personal gain, I said that the money is used for research and development, but it failed, what can you say, this should be controlled, not laissez-faire.

In this silence, the time for a stick of incense passed quickly, in fact, Du Zhenglun and they all thought that there was no need to talk about it, but they thought that Han Yi was not wrong, and it should be ended by Han Yi, which was considered to give him a little face.

"So be it!"

Han Yi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Everyone immediately looked at him.

Han Yi sighed and said, "Since you all think that the imperial court should not give out extra money, then the Sixth Court of the Sage can only obtain funds from other places. ”

Li Yifu was curious: "How do you say this?" ”

Han Yi said: "Sell the drawings to merchants in exchange for funds." ”

Xu Jingzong immediately said: "How can this work, the Sixth Academy of Sages takes the country's money to research and develop, and then trades with businessmen, it doesn't make sense." ”

Han Yi said: "Xu Shizhong, of course the drawings belong to the country, but the country will not make rice transplanters for every person when they take this drawing, and the people also have to take money to make rice transplanters, and the country also needs to spend money to promote, which also needs a lot of money, and businessmen get the drawings, they must also seek benefits, is it moldy at home, businessmen will definitely make it, and then sell it, in this way, it can also be promoted to the whole country, and it can also save a cost for the country, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Lu Chengqing nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "This is not impossible!" ”

Du Zhenglun also nodded in agreement, because they felt a little guilty, so Han Yi thought of a new way, so he simply supported him.

Wei Siqian said suddenly: "The rice transplanter can do this, but in this way, it will inevitably form the Sixth Academy of Sages to serve businessmen, and the state pays money to the Sixth Academy of Sages in order to develop tools for the benefit of the country and the people, not to develop tools for profit, if the Sixth Academy of Sages takes the country's money to study wine and delicacies, this is absolutely impossible,"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "What Wei Zhongcheng said is good. ”

Han Yi was silent again, and after a while, he said: "In this way, every R&D project of the Sixth Academy of Sages must be submitted to the imperial court for approval, and the imperial court will decide whether it can be sold to merchants, but the rules must be set first, if it is a tool similar to the rice transplanter that needs to be promoted, you can trade with merchants and use merchants to promote, and some are not used by the people, and are related to the interests of the country, then they cannot be sold to the outside world, such as weapon research and development, which is a high-level state secret, of course, some technologies, It is neither a state secret, nor a necessity for the people, which must also be approved by the imperial court, or the core technology is kept secret, or a confidentiality contract is reached with the merchants, but all this must be declared to the imperial court. What do you think, this is the best way I can think of, if this doesn't work, then the Sixth Sage Academy can only face closure. ”

Du Zhenglun nodded and said, "I think it's okay to do this." ”

Lu Chengqing also said: "Yes, we can make this a law, if the Sage Six Courts dare to sell technology or drawings to businessmen without permission, it is illegal, in this way, it can not only allow the Sage Six Courts to get sufficient funds, reduce the pressure on the treasury, but also effectively restrain the Sage Six Courts, and can also benefit the people." ”

Wei Siqian also nodded slightly.

Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong exchanged their eyes, although there was still a hint of suspicion in their eyes, but seeing that everyone nodded and agreed, they also felt that Han Yi had made more concessions, and if they continued to fight, they were afraid that it would backfire, and if they submitted for approval, they would definitely have to pass through the three provinces, even if they agreed, their three provinces still intervened smoothly, and they all nodded and agreed.

As a result of this trivial matter of sesame mung beans, several important ministers talked about it for a whole day, which shows how balanced the forces of the DPRK and China are. Even in a sense, this is actually a meeting of the democratic mechanism, everyone comes up with their own reasons to discuss, and then compromise with each other, not who can call the shots, from this point it can also be seen that the efficiency of the democratic mechanism is not as high as autocracy, if Li Zhi is here, this matter will be much easier, because this is not a big deal, as long as the reason is standable, plus Li Zhi's decision, it will be able to pass soon. In the future, no matter what the Six Houses of the Sage sell, they must declare to the three provinces.

Several ministers came out of the hall, Xu Jingzong walked in front proudly, today he has an absolute advantage of Han Yi, and finally forced Han Yi to compromise and hand over the final power to the three provinces, but he won a big victory, and the evil breath in his heart finally came out, and he had to set up a banquet to celebrate when he went home.

The depressed Han Yi walked last, hung his head, sighed, and waited until Lu Chengqing and the others were far away, he raised his head, looked at Xu Jingzong's proud back, and a strange smile suddenly rose at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, this is his purpose, but he knows that if he proposes to let the Sage Sixth Academy cooperate with businessmen from the beginning, it will inevitably be strongly opposed by everyone, you are clearly colluding with officials and businessmen, and it may not be possible to pass, the government does business with the people, this is actually what Han Yi has always opposed, he does not approve of the government's business with the people, he is untenable, so he first convened this meeting on the grounds of increasing funds.

He also knew that everyone would oppose it, and he even expected many reasons for their opposition, but the more this happened, the happier he became, because he was going to put himself to death and survive, and when he was arguing, he kept emphasizing that he was for the country and the people, even if this increase in funds was not in every way, but my original intention was good, you must understand this, I don't care about the money. He was willing to say this to make Lu Chengqing and Du Zhenglun feel a little guilty.

At this time, he proposed to cooperate with businessmen, which is equivalent to taking a big step back, increasing funds is very simple, he is a household secretary, just allocate money, but to cooperate with businessmen, this requires more effort, and it may not be possible to raise money, Lu Chengqing They will definitely support him. But they all forgot one thing, that is, Han Yi is a businessman, and he supports industry and commerce.

The drawings of this rice transplanter were given to the imperial court, and the imperial court distributed the drawings to the prefectures and counties, and that's it, but if it was handed over to the merchants, it was dominated by commerce, including future cooperation, and some technologies would be handed over to the merchants, not to the government, which would form a new system.

PS: That's all for today.
