Poor people will have something to hate.

Li Yuanji didn't have so much spare time to sympathize with the poor people of Old Man Song, so he directly ordered someone to take these nail households to find Luo Chen, while Li Yuanji himself took Yu Ren into the imperial city.

The Imperial City is definitely the last place Li Yuanji wants to come to in his life, the atmosphere is too depressing, especially in this period, the various departments of the court are extremely chaotic.

It's like Li Yuanji's destination this time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, the Shangshu of the various ministries of the imperial court, as well as some ministers in high-ranking positions, except for those who had defected to Li Shimin earlier, had basically been dismissed.

The actual person in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is Pei Ju, who is nearly eighty years old, but at this time, Pei Ju still has the position of servant, but he exercises the dual functions and powers of the servant and the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The other ministries are also very similar, and they will insert Li Shimin's henchmen in advance, and they will announce their official appointments on the day Li Shimin ascends the throne.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier is not just as simple as talking.

And the Ministry of Civil Affairs, because it involves Li Shimin's name, will also be changed to the Ministry of Household after Li Shimin ascends the throne, in fact, the court has begun to change its words.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is the busiest department in the central department of the entire imperial court, holding the world's land, money valley, people, and tribute, and the warehouse of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also the largest among all departments, and the personnel are also the most.

"Pei Gong! The Qi Dynasty is here! Seeing Li Yuanji's figure, the official in charge of looking at the wind in the household department went straight to Pei Ju's office and said in a panic.

"Let's just say that the old man is in poor health today, and he will work in the future!" Pei Ju's heart trembled suddenly, and he said subconsciously.

Li Yuanji's coming to the household department is definitely nothing good, Pei Ju's first reaction to this.

In recent days, Li Yuanji has made a lot of noise in Chang'an City, and what kind of demolition is he doing, and it will definitely be built after the demolition, but it can be rebuilt in a workshop, doesn't it need money? This must have come to ask for money.

Thinking of this, Pei Ju hurriedly dropped the fold in his hand, with a seventy-nine-year-old high collar, quickly walked a pair of old legs, and left the office area in three steps and two steps, but he didn't leave too far, but walked into a utility room at random, and hid Li Yuanji first.

As soon as Li Yuanji walked into the household with his front foot, the warm welcome made him a little confused, but fortunately he saw an old acquaintance in the crowd.

And this old acquaintance is Li Yuanji's uncle, but he is not a relative, Dou Jin is in the same group as Li Yuanji's mother, that is, Li Yuan's queen Queen Dou, and belongs to the clan.

And Dou Jin has an elder brother named Dou Kang, compared with his brother Dou Kang, Dou Jin is a complete loser.

In his early years, Dou Kang followed Li Yuan to fight the world, refused to hold important positions several times, and did not interfere in the government as a relative, which made Dou Kang deeply liked by Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji, the three nephews, also liked this uncle very much.

As for Dou Jin......

He once followed Li Shimin to pacify Yizhou, but he had no discord with the emperor, and he couldn't fight others, so he could only ask for his life and escape, and was stopped by the messenger in the middle, and then pulled the envoy to drink, and gave the envoy a lot of gifts, so he was convicted and dismissed.

It wasn't until half a year ago that he returned to the capital, temporarily serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and a book of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the early years returned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was not a scholar.

But Dou Jin doesn't care about this, whoever wants to work will work, just listen to me, and you can do whatever you like.

So in the past six months, Dou Jin's life can be described as comfortable, and he couldn't be more comfortable, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, but no one cares about him.

"Uncle, where is Gong Pei?" Although Dou Jin doesn't learn and has no skills, after all, the seniority is still there, Li Yuanji knows that Dou Jin loves face and likes luxury, so he picked some nice ones.

"Oh, Pei Gong? Pei Gong said that he was in poor health, and he would work in the future today! "The joy in Dou Jin's heart, what can Li Yuanji do if he loses power? is also a prince when he loses power, his nephew gives face so much, how can he, who is an uncle, not give his nephew face?

The official who was in charge of the report turned black in an instant, and he had already scolded Dou Jin seventy or eighty times in his heart, can you speak? Didn't come and the future is the same meaning?

"Oh, Pei Gong will work in the future today!" Li Yuanji held back a smile and shouted loudly.

This Pei Ju is really interesting, is he really like a tiger? Hide when you hear you're coming?

Pei Ju in the utility room couldn't go out and kicked Dou Jin's ass a few times, you are chattering all day long in the household, and the old man didn't beat you for a small report, why did your special brew sell people at a critical moment?

Get out? Not going out?

Forget it, let's not go out, going out will only be more embarrassing.

"Since Gong Pei is not here, forget it over there, this king is here to do business today, and it is the same to find his uncle." Pei Lin is so old, and he doesn't have a few good days to live, in case he scares the old guy to death, it will be more than worth the loss.

Li Yuanji stretched out his hand to take the account book from Yu Ren's hand and handed it to Dou Jin: "Uncle, this king is here to pay taxes today, you quickly let people calculate it." ”

Shrimp? Ratepaying?

Pei Ju in the utility room almost failed to stand firm, and was thundered by Li Yuanji's words. Ratepaying? If you're the King of Qi, you can't tease me.

"Yuanji, don't make trouble, go back quickly, you are the king of Qi, what kind of tax do you have to pay?" Dou Jin's face was full of embarrassment, Rao didn't know how to learn, he also knew that Li Yuanji was not well-intentioned, although he didn't care about the affairs of the household, it didn't mean that Dou Jin didn't know that the household was really out of money.

Thinking of Li Yuanji's expenses recently, it is indeed a bit big, and he is also giving himself face today, hey, forget it, who made me his uncle.

Dou Jin quietly took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Yuanji, the household department is really out of money, my uncle knows that you have been spending a lot of money recently, and my uncle has raised some money to send you to respond to emergencies in the past two days." ”

Li Yuanji's face was embarrassed with a capital letter, could it be that the word asking for money was written on the face of this king? For Mao, no one believes in himself? What about good trust?

"Uncle, this king is not short of money, and he is indeed here to pay taxes today." Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, first stuff the account book into Dou Jin's hands.

"Yuanji, you are the prince, you don't need to take classes...... "What's wrong with this nephew today?" Is your head broken? I have never paid taxes when I am so big, so I have to pay taxes for Mao today? Do you want to vent your frustration in this way?

When Li Yuanji heard this, he was immediately unhappy.

Money, I am really lacking, and dozens of money households can't see it, not to mention that the household department has never directly collected taxes, and they are all handed over to the household department after the following yamen collect them.

But today's matter has nothing to do with more money or less, no matter how much or less, he must pay it, not only to pay, but also to pay it in a dignified manner.

"What's wrong with the prince? If the prince breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, shouldn't the prince pay taxes? "Dou Jin still wants to persuade again, how can Li Yuanji give him this opportunity? Directly glared at his eyes: "Uncle, hurry up, this king's time is tight, the income of hundreds of yuan in a quarter of an hour, if you don't give this king an office today, this king will rely on your household department and not leave, and the household department will have to compensate me for a hundred yuan in a quarter of an hour." ”

Dou Jin wanted to cry without tears, so he could only exchange an official for taking the account books and accounting on the spot.

I don't know the ghost talisman in the account book, forget it, anyway, there are records below, call the little official to take out the pen and ink and calculate, and finally understand after a toss, a total of 410 yuan, can such a little money be used to pay taxes to the household? What about tossing people, isn't it?

"Four hundred and ten, right? According to the system, there are ten taxes and forty consistent, hurry up and sign the seal for this king! "I took out forty consistent money, and I took out two contracts together, the number of items to be paid on them is clear, including the time, and all the contents are clearly written, and only the signature and seal of the household department are required.
