Chapter 418: Overture
After the long history of the public case, Jia Wei held a thick book in his hand and read it carefully.
The long history of the room is divided into inside and outside, he is in the inside, and the book office is in the outside, and his office in the Yanjing Morning News office is similar to the layout, the difference is that there is a back door in the middle here, leading to the back garden of the yamen.
This is located in the southwest corner of the town of the princess's mansion, the Yamen of the Changshi Division, which covers a wide area, with more than a dozen small courtyards, which belong to the entire set of general affairs team of the Yamen of the Changshi Division.
Jia Wei's Changshi duty room is located in the upper room of the main courtyard, and there are three duty rooms in the upper room, and the other two are the duty rooms of the two deputy envoys. The upper room is the duty room of the direct officials and miscellaneous servants.
The main courtyard is widely planted with sycamores, tall and abundant, and the branches are straight, and now the season is in mid-September, and the courtyard is full of golden leaves of sycamores every day, and the scene is very beautiful.
……
"Your Highness has arrived...... The villain knocks on His Highness! ”
"Get up. Jia Changshi can be in? ”
"Yes."
First heard a small footsteps outside the corridor, and then heard a short conversation between the outer bookstore and Gao Jie, Jia Wei hurriedly put down the book in his hand, and walked out quickly, just about to bypass the screen, Gao Jie had already come in with Ziyu, the two sides met their eyes, and he immediately gave a deep salute: "Weichen has missed the distance, His Royal Highness forgives the sin." ”
"Jia Changshi doesn't have to be polite."
Gao Jie's footsteps didn't stop, and after a few steps to the public case, she sat down comfortably on the chair and shook her hand, "I have nothing else to do here, I just happened to pass by and ask you for a cup of tea." ”
"There is nothing else here, but there is no shortage of tea." Hearing the light-hearted banter in Gao Jie's tone, Jia Wei also responded playfully, while speaking, he walked to the round table in the east corner, took the pot and ordered tea, and personally held it and put it in front of Gao Jie.
Gao Jie picked up the teacup, took two sips slowly, rested it on the case, glanced at the book Jia Wei was reading, and stretched out her finger, "Jia Changshi is looking at this?" ”
"Yes." Jia Wei said solemnly, "I have just taken office, and I am walking on thin ice, how dare I slack off." ”
The booklet he read was called "The Chief of the History Department of the Governor of the Princess's Mansion of the Town State", which was compiled by the previous Changshi Jingnian, which not only gave a detailed explanation of the entire general affairs team of the Changshi Division, but also had many past examples for reference.
"Good. It is said that Jia Changshi has also run through more than a dozen imperial villages on the outskirts of our capital in the past few days...... Well, everything must be done personally, and you will work tirelessly......" Gao Jie nodded, and then pointed to the book again, "Also, be conscientious, don't dare to steal peace...... It seems that asking you to serve as the chief historian is the right person. ”
"Your Highness's words have tormented the ...... of the ministers"
While the two were talking, a person came from outside, bypassed the screen, and entered the inner room.
The person who came was He Zengquan, one of the two deputy envoys.
Respectfully salute Gao Jie. He Zengquan turned around and talked to Jia Wei, "Changshi, there is something that is not easy for the lower officials to call the shots, come and ask Changshi to show me." ”
"Lord Ho, please speak." Jia Wei said politely. When he heard someone coming in a moment ago, he knew that it was one of the two deputy envoys, and he was in the room for a long time, except for these two deputy envoys who could come in directly, and the rest of his subordinates had to be written and served.
"Yes. Gongzheng's submission said that the Wujin East Compound was in disrepair and could not be used, and if there was a rare heavy snow this winter, there was a risk of destroying the house, and it was planned to ask for a comprehensive repair in case of ......accidents," He Zengquan said, "...... This submission was submitted the day before yesterday, and it should have been promptly asked to be shown by the chief historian, but it was only a momentary negligence, and it was only saved today, which is really the fault of the lower officials......"
"Lord Ho's words are serious." Jia Wei looked at the white-faced, slightly bearded, and well-mannered deputy envoy in front of him, and asked, "On the other side of the Wujin East Compound, as far as Lord He knows, is it unusable as submitted by Gongzheng?" ”
"Exactly as it is. After receiving the submission, the lower official personally went to the Wujin East Compound to inspect it, and also felt that it should be repaired as soon as possible and should not be postponed. ”
"That being the case...... Then he ordered the construction of the main office to start construction on the same day and carry out a complete repair. ”
"Xia Guan knows." He Zengquan nodded, his tone paused, and said, "But there are still some joints in this matter...... Changshi has just arrived, maybe you don't know, some time ago, the imperial court had issued a decree, saying that the war in southern Xinjiang was imminent, and the cost was very large, and the clan and royal family were all thrifty, and the imperial court would no longer issue additional appropriations except for the usual exceptions......"
"Oh? Have you had this purpose? Jia Wei was slightly stunned, and quickly responded, "According to this, the repair fee for our five entrances to the East Compound can only be squeezed out of the account of this mansion?" ”
"Exactly, exactly." He Zengquan said repeatedly.
"Lord He, did Gongzheng's submission mention how much silver does it cost to fully repair the five entrances to the East Compound?" Jia Wei thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, yes, it is estimated that it will cost about twenty-five thousand taels of silver."
"Can this money be squeezed out of the account? Is there any impact on other expenses? Following He Zengquan's words, Jia Wei asked further.
The eldest princess's mansion is divided into two accounts, public and private, public and private, and private and private, he asked naturally about the accounts of the public, as for Gao Jie's private house, Changshi Si can't control it.
"This ...... It's September now, and it's almost the end of the year, and there really isn't much money in the account, so if you insist on squeezing out this repair fee, it will have some impact on other expenses......"
He Zengquan said this, Jia Wei couldn't help but groan slightly. After a moment, he said, "Well...... According to Lord Ho, from the end of the year, are there any dispensable and insignificant expenses in the various expenditures of the government? ”
"What does Changshi mean to cut these expenses and use them as part of the repair fee?" Hearing this, He Zengquan asked with a smile, and then explained in detail, "...... In the situation of this house, because the previous two Changshi adults cut a lot of expenses, now they can't find any dispensable expenses...... If you talk about insignificant expenses, there are still them...... From now to the end of the year, the winter clothes, winter solstice, and Laba rewards can be cut off, as well as the charcoal used in winter, which can also be reduced by one or even two grades. ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Jia Wei to speak, his eyes touched Jia Wei's, and he paused and said, "...... There is also one item, which is the addition of the government of the officials of the department this time. This was set by Mr. Pan when he was in office in June, and it was planned to increase the amount from October, which was included in the expenditure, and by the end of the year it was March, with a total amount of about 12,000 taels. The lower officials felt that since the increase had not yet been made, it would be better to waive this item for the time being than to cut other expenses, and wait until next year to do the increase......
"Lord He's idea is very good, but Lord Pan has already made up his mind, but it is inconvenient to change it."
After hearing what He Zengquan said, Jia Wei frowned and quickly vetoed it.
The so-called additional salary, is the subsidy outside the main salary, such as the palace or the princess's mansion chief Shi Si, such a general affairs team, or by the imperial court, or by the government to add money, the court to increase, by the household department, the government to pay, by the government to pay.
According to Jia Wei's understanding, the officials of this department have been increased three times, twice by the imperial court, once by the government, and the most recent one has been five years ago, so the former Pan Changshi considered starting in October this year to increase the officials of this department again.
Now that Pan Changshi has left office and he has taken over, it is impossible for him to change this decision in any case.
This is nothing more than anything else, but it involves the increase in the income of all the officials of the Division, and if the order is issued, it will not be three months, that is, a month, and it will also provoke the complaints of all the officials of the Division, and put themselves in a disadvantageous position.
How could he be so confused that he would be such a thankless villain at the beginning of his tenure?
