Chapter XXVIII

He rubbed his swollen temples, but he didn't mean to open them. With his own vision beyond the world for 500 years, www.biquge.info what he lacks is not any ideas or anything like that. The most important thing is that I have no confidence in my own ability, after all, no matter how good a policy is, it needs to be implemented properly.

There are people in this world who have a lot of ideas to say, but often mess up when they are asked to do it themselves, and this kind of person is often called a scholar. Of course, Zheng De is not a scholar, but he has a worldview that transcends this world for 500 years. As for ability, although he didn't work in his previous life, he knew that he was not a person who did big things, and of course laziness was also an important reason.

So when he stared at Wang Tingxiang in front of him, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. If you add your own ideas and this person's ability, can't you make a big deal?

Being able to do the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department and the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate shows that this person in history is definitely not bad in terms of his ability to behave in the world and be an official. As for why the reputation is not obvious, it is obvious that in a country like the Ming Dynasty, where centralized power reached its peak, it is impossible for ministers to do much. As for Zhang Juzheng in later generations, he also relied on the emperor's young age and the cooperation of the eunuch Feng Bao to leave a strong mark in history.

Now that I want to make a career and have no confidence in my ability, it is better to give it to a trustworthy person to do it. In this way, I can relax and realize my dream of drinking afternoon tea and taking a walk. Second, if you make some achievements, wouldn't you have gained a good reputation as a Ming Jun in vain, and leave a good story of Ming Jun and virtuous ministers to future generations?

Although Zheng De doesn't care about reputation or anything, who wouldn't want to have a good reputation?

And Wang Tingxiang, as a newcomer who has just stepped into the officialdom for only three years, has both the ability and the ability to dare to act. It can be said that it is the most suitable to cultivate as a cronie, but Zheng De is now more and more satisfied.

Wang Tingxiang watched the emperor look up and down carefully around him, his eyes were like wolves from time to time with a faint green light, and he couldn't help but shudder, and he couldn't help but say out loud, "Your Majesty ......"

"What?" Zheng De looked up at him, puzzled.

Wang Tingxiang was speechless, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but subconsciously looked at the notebook in Zheng De's hand, who picked it up and looked at it casually, and handed it back to him, "Just do these things." ”

Wang Tingxiang took his notebook and looked at Zheng De with some incomprehension. The latter was racking his brains thinking about how to give him a new position, and this cyan official robe looked really dazzling. Originally, the cabinet, which is similar to a secretarial body, was quite suitable, but unfortunately, after more than 100 years of development, this secretarial body has become more and more powerful, and people without some qualifications cannot enter at all.

Zheng De inadvertently saw Liu Jin coming over, but his eyes suddenly lit up. Since he doesn't have a position, why can't he create one, isn't that how he came to be a cabinet scholar?

"Ziheng, you don't want to go back to the Sixth Branch in the future, just walk on the imperial study and serve as my secretary. How about entering the duty every hour and leaving work after the unitary hour? Zheng De looked at Wang Tingxiang and looked at him with a look of hope. In order to show his attention, he also affectionately called each other by the word "table".

The Imperial Secretary? Wang Tingxiang was completely smashed by Zheng De's words, what kind of official position is this. also deliberately asked for his own opinion, which made him a little crying and laughing. You're the son of today, isn't it up to you to decide?

"Your Majesty, what does the secretary do?" Wang Tingxiang was not carried away for a while, and blindly agreed, but asked again.

Zheng De nodded at him quite satisfied, stopped Liu Jin, who was just about to speak, and explained, "The secretary mainly helps me sort out the recitals that the cabinet plays every day, and if it is not important, it will be approved according to the cabinet's vote, and the important one will be handed over to me to deal with, understand?" ”

Wang Tingxiang's face was solemn when he heard this, he didn't expect the emperor to give him such an important errand, and I am afraid that it will set off a huge storm in the imperial court in the near future. I don't know why the emperor trusts him so much, but if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will live up to the emperor's trust, and then the emperor's order will be difficult to disobey. I was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Zheng De still persuaded, "Are you dissatisfied with the many shortcomings of the current imperial court, but you can't do anything to talk about it?" ”

When Wang Tingxiang heard this, he subconsciously looked at his notebook, but heard the emperor say again, "It's better not to ask for someone than to ask for it, if you become my secretary, wouldn't you be able to participate in the major decisions of the imperial court?" If there is any idea of reform or something, as long as it is reasonable. I will promise you, just like Qin Xiaogong believed in Shang Ying back then. ”

"I believe that Shang Ying supports you so much", hearing this, Wang Tingxiang looked at Zheng De in disbelief, he didn't expect that he was so important in the emperor's mind. I really can't understand why the emperor trusts his talent so much, and he doesn't hesitate to compare it with Shang Ying.

Zheng De was already talking dryly, and seeing that Wang Tingxiang still seemed to be unable to eat oil and salt. I also lost my patience and was too lazy to persuade again. Lightly threw down a sentence, "If you don't even have confidence in your own ability, what if others believe in it?" If you figure it out, come to the Maoqin Hall tomorrow to enter the duty. Otherwise, I didn't say that. "I walked away.

"You, you ......" Wang Yue pointed to Wang Tingxiang, who didn't know what to say, and really didn't know what to say. flicked his sleeves and chased after Zheng De. Liu Jin also glanced at him with a complicated expression and chased after the emperor.

Only Wang Tingxiang was left in place, looking at the immature back of the emperor leaving, but suddenly there was a feeling of youth and old age.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so hesitant.

……

"Your Majesty, is the current palm print eunuch still empty?" Back at the Maoqin Palace, Wang Yue couldn't help but mention the matter, "Whether it is the construction of Tailing or the Military Intelligence Bureau, you need to pay silver taels from the inside, if there is no one to manage the Imperial Horse Supervisor, I'm afraid it will be out of the basket!" ”

"Oh!" Zheng De looked back at him, and felt that what he said did make sense. Although the Imperial Horse Supervisor has the word "horse", his initial duty is indeed to raise horses. But after more than 100 years of development, it has developed from an inconspicuous Inner Court Office to the most powerful Office in the Inner Court. It is an extremely important position not only to control the imperial stables and other items, but also to manage the pasture and the imperial village, run the imperial store, manage the finances with the households, and control the emperor's money bag and military talismans.

Originally, Zheng De wanted to wait for Sun to return and then sort out the chaotic financial system of the entire imperial court, but in front of this situation, it seems that at least the ten mansions of the inner treasury must be rectified before this.

"Go and find me Li Qi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works." Li Qi is one of the few A-level capable people in the court, and since he wants to sort out his money bag, Zheng De naturally thinks of him.

"This ...... Long live the Lord, is it appropriate for the ministers to meddle in the affairs of the inner court? "Originally, as a slave, I naturally couldn't question my master's decision. But the emperor repeatedly made things to let the ministers interfere in the inner court, which made Wang Yue feel quite worried, and he couldn't help but ask.

"If you let the people in the palace manage it, like Ning Jin before, the internal carrier treasury and the key treasury spent millions and taels without even a decent account book, who knows where the money is spent." Hearing the emperor say this, Wang Yue was also speechless. After all, this is indeed true, but he still said, "Your Majesty can also let the people of the inner court manage and establish the account books." ”

"If it's a day-to-day management, it's really something that can be considered." Zheng De nodded, after all, Li Qi is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and it is impossible to help Zheng De manage his money bag all day long, "But before that, I can rest assured that I will clean up the mess left by Ning Jin and establish the account books." Who knows if there is anyone in the palace who is still involved with Ning Jin, or who is greedy for money such as fake accounts, wouldn't it be bad for me? ”

When Wang Yue heard this, he instantly understood, the emperor was not at ease with the people in the inner court, no wonder he always let the ministers meddle in the affairs of the palace recently, it turned out that the reason was here.

"Didn't the emperor trust the people in the palace in the East Palace before, how could he completely change when he became the emperor? Could it be that it was caused by fainting in front of the coffin of the first emperor? It can't be the first emperor's possession. The more Wang Yue thought about it, the more outrageous it became, and in the end, he shuddered, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about!" ”

When he looked up and saw that the emperor was staring at him, he hurriedly said, "The slave is going to summon Li Qi, the servant of the Ministry of Works." And he went out.

……

"Before, Liu Ge Lao Shangshu said: The internal carrier warehouse and the key library cost millions without any account books, so I came to you to sort out the internal carrier warehouse, the internal supply warehouse and the key library, and re-record all the things in the inventory, do you understand?" Zheng De looked at the Ministry of Works, Li Qi, in front of him, and admonished.

"Minister's Decree," but he still asked with some doubts, "Your Majesty, aren't these the Imperial Horse Supervisors in charge?" ”

"Ning Jin is still in the heavenly prison now, who do you say will manage it?" Zheng De said with a smile, "I don't worry about the people in the palace, and now I can only work hard for you." ”

"Your Majesty is serious." Li Qi hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Sit down." Zheng De waved his hand, "You will be in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor for the time being, as for the cost of building the Tailing Tomb and the Military Intelligence Bureau, it will be paid from my internal funds, so you don't make mistakes." ”

Li Qi didn't expect that the emperor would hand over the most important yamen of the inner court to his own management, which was too unexpected, which caught him completely off guard, "Your Majesty, as a foreign minister, is really not suitable for managing the affairs of the inner court, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw the order." ”

"It's okay, besides, you're just temporary." Zheng De didn't care. For other emperors, they may trust the eunuchs in the palace more, but for him from five hundred years later, he naturally knows how harmful eunuchs are to interfere in politics, and naturally he does not have much affection for eunuchs, so he will leave everything to the foreign ministers.

However, Zheng De was not unguarded against foreign ministers, Zheng De thought of something again, and quickly said again, "As for the Imperial Stables and other soldiers, I and others will be handed over to the management of the Seal Supervisor, you just need to sort out my internal funds." ”

"Obey." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, if the emperor really handed over the imperial stable talisman and others to him to manage, I am afraid that he would not be able to sleep every day.

Zheng De nodded, and remembered one more thing, "By the way, let's use double-entry accounting for bookkeeping." "As an economics student, I'm naturally familiar with this way of bookkeeping.

"Double-entry accounting?" Li Qi looked at Zheng De with a puzzled expression, "Your Majesty, what is double-entry accounting?" ”

"The so-called double-entry accounting method is a method of registering each economic transaction in two or more related accounts at the same time according to the same amount, such as this year's income ...... gold," Zheng De patiently explained the meaning of double-entry accounting and how it should be kept.

Although Li Qi is almost in the age of sixties, his comprehension ability is not bad, and he quickly understands what is called double-entry accounting, and he must not applaud the emperor's idea, "In this way, although the bookkeeping method is a little cumbersome, he can clearly know the source and destination of each money, and it is difficult to make fake accounts or anything, and I don't know how the emperor came up with it." ”

Thinking of this, Li Qi's gaze at Zheng De was full of doubts and puzzlement, it was hard to imagine that this way of bookkeeping would be thought up by a fifteen-year-old boy Tianzi.

Zheng De instructed Wang Yue on the side again, "Take Li Qing to the Imperial Horse Prison." And let Xiao Jing notify me, let the people in the palace cooperate, and don't make any mistakes. ”

Wang Yue answered and went down with Li Qi.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Zheng De breathed a long sigh of relief, "I finally got one more thing done." ”
