Tough negotiations still come from the three divisions, which control the lifeblood of many departments, and some departments will be shut down directly if they lack the funding of the three divisions, which represents the huge power of the three divisions, and does not mean that he can meddle in many fields.

The purchase of raw materials is a very important area for any department, which is not only a place where money comes from, but also a lot of gray income-intensive areas.

The gray area, which means that there is no overt opposition to it, can be operated, which is either a place for officials to collect money, or a small treasury for the department, involving the interests of all parties.

Just like Jia Chaochang of the Privy Council, he only needs to intervene slightly, and he can get an annual income of 120,000 yuan, which is a huge interest relationship in some special fields or less eye-catching fields.

At the level of Jia Chaochang, he will grasp a degree, and it will not be too much, but in some low-level officials, they will not care so much, they can do anything for some interests.

Not to mention 2 catties per catty, 10 catties, 20 catties are possible, iron materials, as little as tens of thousands of catties, more than 100,000 catties, combined, is a very expensive income.

Now, this money can't be obtained, and it's still the kind that clearly marked the price, completely squeezing all the space, so that this gray area, which may be as much as tens of millions, completely ceases to exist.

If it is slow, once the point is squeezed, the kind of frog boiled in warm water, maybe these officials will not rebound, but in this way, one size fits all, facing the squeeze in all directions, this is going to die.

To be honest, this knife is very useful, but this is useful for the entire political situation and finances of the Northern Song Dynasty, if these are completed, it will reduce the initial funds of more than 5 million yuan for the three divisions, and it will also allow these departments to squeeze out twice or even more than three times the self-raised funds.

The money in the public is always in the public school, and it can't fall into the hands of individuals, it seems that 15 million yuan is a lot, and there are many areas involved, and there may be only a small part of each department on average, which is a real life for those officials involved.

Ye Qingchen had also been involved in this field before, and there was not so much interest, he just got involved a little, so that these people could be reined in a little, so that the funds of the three divisions could be used more, not wasted or swallowed.

It is precisely because he has entered that field that Ye Qingchen knows how terrible this field is, involving thousands of departments, hundreds of thousands of officials, and the black zone of daily expenses of officials, once it is pierced, it will have a great impact.

This is also the fundamental reason for his hesitation before, this is not an enemy of one or two people, this is an enemy of almost the entire Northern Song Dynasty political arena, everyone.

The pressure in the middle is huge, it can be imagined, and after thinking clearly in the morning, he has no hesitation to squeeze out this tumor, maybe soon, a new tumor will appear, but in the process of squeezing out, he will harvest a lot of funds, and with these funds, he has the ability to start some large-scale projects.

For example, the project to control the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is the entire Northern Song Dynasty, can never avoid the problem, the Northern Song Dynasty Bianliang City, just on the edge of the Yellow River, every time the Yellow River bursts and floods, Bianliang will bear the brunt, as the capital, Bianliang is also the capital city that has received the most floods.

In terms of government and politics, there are various schools of thought governing the Yellow River, and even arguing endlessly over the governance of the Yellow River, for the simple reason that it is money.

Ye Qingchen didn't know how to govern the Yellow River, but he knew that if he had money, everything would not be a problem.

In the face of more and more frequent floods, and in the face of heavy rains, the Yellow River is about to flow back, and it is urgent to deal with it.

The Yellow River of the Northern Song Dynasty has three directions: south, north and east, in fact, it represents three breaks, at this moment, the Shanghu break of the Yellow River has not yet appeared, and there is no south flow and east flow behind it, that is, after the break in 1034, it will continue to flow north for 14 years.

At present, the focus of the dispute is to block Shanghu and let the Yellow River continue to flow northward, and the current projects such as the Liuta River have been started on this basis.

The reason is very simple, there is no money, and the project to block the river is currently underway, but it is quite slow, and it is only carried out by labor.

People of insight, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, but one thing is worth affirming, both plans have merits, but for the Yellow River breach, it is a natural disaster, and it is impossible to overestimate how to prevent it.

It's a pity that the Northern Song Dynasty can only choose one, and even this one, the funds are not enough.

Ye Qingchen is very aware of the harm of the flooding of the Yellow River, the most elite area of the entire Northern Song Dynasty is the area connected by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but the most elite area is this vast area centered on Sijing, which not only has a large population, but also has a very developed industry and agriculture.

Once the Yellow River bursts, the damage will be enormous, not to mention the loss of personnel, but also property and tax revenue.

Not only Ye Qingchen knows this, but everyone else knows that the reason why there is no way to go on is that there is no money.

That's right, the Northern Song Dynasty didn't even have the funds to maintain the current one, where to find so much money, digging rivers, harnessing the Yellow River, and even building dams, all need money, but other aspects are more important.

If there is money, these problems can be avoided, and even the dredging of the Yellow River, as long as the Yellow River does not occur large-scale floods within 10 years, the financial figures of the Northern Song Dynasty will increase on the existing basis.

A Yellow River, an armament, and even the farmland and water conservancy construction in the entire north, a project filled Ye Qingchen's heart, and he did it without hesitation.

Before, at most, it was just a side attack, there was no conclusive thing, at most, it was to let those people restrain a little, but now, with a more clear direction, Jia Chaochang's 120,000 yuan was smashed in the Privy Council, and others still need to say that they can't compare to Jia Chaochang.

Similarly, before, there was no clear direction for iron, that is, the Privy Council used more, there was a standard, some departments, and even the purchase price of iron exceeded 120 Wen, and now, it is all positioned as 35 Wen.

Saving, sometimes, is not necessarily a good thing, the Privy Council is a matter for the Privy Council, they can use the different quantities and standards of procurement to prevaricate, the contradiction between the Privy Council and them, and the three divisions have no way to control the supply of iron materials, and soon they will be under the skin and cannot be carried out.

But now, the iron material of the Privy Council is also under the promotion of the three divisions, and the completed transaction is forcibly pushed down in the entire Northern Song Dynasty political arena at this price.

What's going on with the blacksmith workshop in the Daimyo's Mansion, why did this guy who suddenly appeared get the price of 35 Wen a catty, and why did Ye Qingchen push it hard.

At the beginning, under the premise of subconsciously, they thought that Ye Qingchen was involved with this blacksmith shop, whether there would be any money and power transactions, and whether there would be fraud and shoddy.

Suddenly, the entire government and the opposition were indignant, blocking people's money is equivalent to killing their parents, this is a completely unbearable bad thing, all kinds of channels, all kinds of relationships, the ultimate goal is directly aimed at Ye Qingchen.

The impeachment twists and turns, like snowflakes, flew to the center, and fell in front of Renzong one by one.

Ye Qingchen was impeached, this is what Renzong does not want to see, or is it involved in this kind of abuse of power for personal gain, Renzong is a fairly calm emperor, Ye Qingchen has done a good job, but if he really gets involved in this field, then the financial minister who is in charge of the finances of the entire Northern Song Dynasty may become the huge greed of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

This is what Renzong doesn't want to see, if Ye Qingchen is really like this, even if he did very well before and met his requirements, he will still severely punish him and will not give him this opportunity.

Renzong is not a guy who listens to the wind or rain, he also wants to listen to Ye Qingchen's explanation, as a person who has worked hard for the finances of the Great Song Dynasty, he has been running around non-stop, and even offended countless people and three envoys, he has this and this.

Renzong summoned Ye Qingchen alone, and Ye Qingchen had already prepared for this, and approached the palace alone with all kinds of things he had prepared.

Everyone thought that under the different opinions, Ye Qingchen would be finished, and there had never been a person in the court who would be impeached by so many people, except for the Zaifu, the rest of the middle and low-level officials all took action.

It's not even that the Zai Fu didn't make a move, but they were waiting for an opportunity, including Jia Chaochang.

Jia Chaochang only found out what happened the next day, most of the surplus money of the Privy Council was invested in the project of the experimental army, and the rest, there was a deficit here, where there was a deficit, and there was no left, if there was any leftover, it was a white stripe, or he beat it before.

After working for a long time, not only is the Jia family's income gone, but even the small treasury is gone, and the anger in Jia Chaochang's heart can be imagined.

But he didn't have the slightest way, everything was a normal way, whether it was iron or this experimental army, those white strips were all signed by him, and he could only swallow the bitter fruit by himself.

Now, there are many impeachments, and almost the impeachment of the entire court has made him see hope, maybe Ye Qingchen will be impeached, and this plan will not have to go on like this.

However, as Zaifu, he can't start rashly, there must be a clear signal, no, Renzong's call is right, as long as Renzong shows a clear attitude, then the next thing is much easier.

This summoning was supposed to be a question, a matter that would end easily, but no one would know that it was as long as 3 hours.

All afternoon, Ye Qingchen was in Renzong, and there was no certain amount of information coming, for the low-level personnel, and even for the middle-level officials around the third grade, this is nothing, but for Jia Chaochang and the governors, this is absolutely abnormal, what happened.
