"Your Majesty, the source of this wealth is mainly collected through our Criminal Department Division, so our Division should be qualified to send a 'member', and the minister recommended the Division's Wai Lang Shi Bufan to serve as a member on behalf of our Criminal Department Division. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info In addition, our criminal department is responsible for auditing and auditing, in order to avoid budget problems, so the minister recommended the department member Wailang, and the audit made Zhang Xingcheng also go to represent the ministry to serve as this member. Liu Zhenghui hurriedly said.

Liu Zhenghui is really an old official, and he directly preemptively wants to establish two places in his criminal department, and the reason is still very legitimate. But of course the household department doesn't dare to do this, and the household officials are all unified and the deputy baby is bitter! The biggest loss this time was actually the household department, which originally had 100 percent of the financial and budgetary powers, but now a new committee has been formed, and the power to formulate the budget has been divided, and they are the most aggrieved. However, this Li Shimin understood that he wanted to divide the financial power, and they could only bear it. With such a large piece of Tang monk meat, the household couldn't stop yelling, so they could only spit it out and share it together.

However, the household department saw that the criminal department actually sent two places, and of course they were uncomfortable. The work of the criminal department is not finance, but the real financial department, and there are two places for others, so there must be two places for themselves!

"Your Majesty, the household department requests to send the degree branch member Wailang and the warehouse member Wailang to the budget committee!" Han Zhongliang said.

The status of the Duzhi Wailang was roughly equivalent to that of the later officials of the Budget Department of the Ministry of Finance, and in the Tang Dynasty, Duzhi meant living within one's means, and was responsible for formulating the expenditure plan of the imperial court. Therefore, those who say that there was no financial budget in ancient China do not understand the financial system. Wai Lang is responsible for all kinds of financial expenditure budgets, so that all departments require them. But now Shi Bufan has snatched the financial and budgetary power of this household department and set up this budget committee, so that the power of the branch department has shrunk many times, so they are desperately trying to insert their own people. As for the warehouse clerk, Wailang, he was actually in charge of the affairs of the national granary, responsible for storing grain and selling grain. However, they are only responsible for government decrees, not for specific affairs, and Taifu Temple is responsible for specific affairs. One is in charge of money, the other is in charge of food, which happens to be the two largest shares of the ancient budget, and of course they are coming.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Industry must be like this, otherwise we will be bullied to death by them!" Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly said.

Although Duan Lun didn't care about too many things, he had to take the initiative to speak for the Ministry of Industry, the interests of the department, no one can be left alone! The Ministry of Industry also asked for the Ministry of Engineering and the Water Department to be stuffed in. The six subordinate departments have a department with the same name as the six departments, which is called the "headquarters", and the subordinate departments of the Ministry of Industry also have a department called the Ministry of Industry, which is also the headquarters and has the highest status. The same is true of other departments, and there is also a department called the Ministry of War under the Ministry of War, which is the headquarters of the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of Industry sent in both the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of Water, so that they could be regarded as helping themselves to fight for funds in civil engineering and water conservancy construction in the future. The same is true of the Ministry of War, Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked to stuff the driving department and the treasury department, which is responsible for the affairs of carriages, horses, postal posts, etc., which is equivalent to the transportation, postal and other departments of later generations, and is also a big money-eater and a gold-swallowing beast. The Treasury Department is responsible for the management of ordnance and the formulation of ordnance production plans, which is most closely related to the army, and he may represent the interests of the army in this budget.

In the end, the officials and the ceremonial department cried and fainted in the toilet, because they really couldn't find an excuse to put people in. The Ministry of Officials is responsible for the appointment of officials and other personnel, but in fact, it does not cost much money. Departments that don't make money or spend much money have a very low position in the budget and can't effectively involve themselves. Of course, perhaps Li Shimin would not approve of this ministry reaching out to the budget, which is also inappropriate. As for the Ministry of Rites, they really can't find any place to spend money, they spend very little, but the Guozijian may spend more money, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for ceremonial diplomacy and various state banquets, but these don't cost a lot of money. Although it seems that there are a lot of state banquets for the emperor, it is not a high status compared to other countries' spending projects. Therefore, no one from the Ministry of Rites joined, and it was a big loss.

"Your Majesty, Taifu Temple......" The officials of Taifu Temple also wanted to join in, and they were immediately scolded by Shi Bufan.

"Taifu Temple, give me back! This financial budget is also something that your Taifu Temple can meddle in? Shi Bufan scolded.

Taifu Temple was scolded by Shi Bufan, and retreated back very embarrassed. Of course, Shi Bufan knows what Taifu Temple is, and the status of Taifu Temple is more complicated, not only similar to the status of the Food Bureau in later generations, but also responsible for managing the national granary. In the same way, they were also responsible for the management of money, and the money of the treasury was managed along with the food. Taifu Temple is actually only responsible for managing money, but it is not qualified to use money.

According to the principle of financial management, the management of money does not care about the accounts, and the management of the accounts does not care about the money. In other words, the person who is responsible for making the budget and managing the accounts cannot be responsible for managing the money himself. The household department is actually the department responsible for formulating the money plan, but they don't have the money in their hands. It's like the Ministry of Finance in later generations, but in fact, there is no money in hand. According to the financial process of later generations, the financial department made a budget, and then took the note of the financial department to the central bank's treasury to withdraw money. But the central bank does not have the power to spend money, and they do not have the power to make their own spending plans.

This is for the sake of the security of the financial system, to avoid mistakes and to avoid embezzlement of public funds. Through the mutual containment of both parties, this is also a management method of the financial system. The household department spends money but has no money, and the status of Taifu Temple is equivalent to that of the Central Bank's Treasury Department, which is responsible for managing money but cannot spend money. Therefore, they are naturally opposites, and there are natural departmental contradictions. In later generations of China, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank competed for the right to manage the treasury, but the human brain played out a dog's brain, and so many leaders changed for more than 20 years and could not solve the problem. This is not something that can be done by the wise and humble leaders, and everyone who changes the interests of the department must be like this. Even if it is not nice to let the governor of the central bank and the minister of finance exchange positions, they also have to fight for the rights and interests of their local departments, and the interests of the departments are so pitted, it is not easy to change anyone! There is a natural contradiction between the financial departments and central banks of all countries.

So Shi Bufan scolded the Taifu Temple who wanted to put his hand into the budget committee, and if he let a person in charge of managing money join the budget organization, wouldn't this be a death? If Taifu Temple is "fish and meat", then this budget committee is a "chef", how can "fish and meat" be allowed to join the team of chefs, so that people's "fish and meat" will still be willing to be "slaughtered"? The department of this nature of Taifu Temple naturally has a grudge against the financial department and those departments that use money, so Shi Bufan will not die by himself and let them join.

When Taifu Temple was scolded back, Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, just these eight, there is no need to continue to add people." If you continue to add people, then I'm afraid that the house servant and the Du servant will curse! ”

Sure enough, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were embarrassed, because what Shi Bufan said was also that this budget committee already had four departments sent people to join, if more departments continued to join, then where would they put the status of Shangshu Province? If all the departments above the imperial court join this budget committee, that budget committee will become a gluttonous beast, and it will even eat Shangshu Province in turn. At present, eight is already the limit, and it is not possible to continue to increase the number of personnel.

"How do you count these eight places? Also, who is the main one in this? Li Shimin asked.

Shi Bufan took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, it is better to set up the post of chairman in this budget committee, and the chairman is the person who sits in the most important seat and is responsible for presiding over the meeting." And if there is a deadlock in the vote, the chairman can have one more vote, what do you think, Your Majesty? ”

"Yes, yes! So who will be the chairman? Li Shimin replied.

Shi Bufan hurriedly said first: "The minister Shi Bufan recommended himself and was willing to bear this burden!" ”

"Damn!"

Many officials were scolded in their hearts by Shi Bufan's shameless behavior, and Shi Bufan was so "immodest" that he directly came out and recommended himself. Everyone knows that this budget committee is the department that will hold the most financial power in the future, and financial power is a big fat meat that everyone wants to control. Among the civil officials, the status of managing people and money is the highest, and everyone wants to be promoted, so they dare not offend the officials and the imperial history, but everyone wants to make meritorious contributions, so naturally they can't do without managing money. Shi Bufan's position is clearly to snatch financial power, and financial power is one of the most important powers of Shi Bufan. If the decision-making power, the deliberative power, and the executive power are separated in the framework of the government, this means a "separation of powers" in a sense. Of course, the "military power" that some people attach great importance to is not strictly speaking a kind of power within the framework of the government, and the military power should actually be divided into a kind of executive power. The military power is only a kind of executive power to carry out the national armament. A type of sector of violent mandates.

However, in fact, in the decision-making power, the right to deliberate, the right to execute, there is also a vague power, that is, the financial power. The role of financial power is very complex, and the reason why it has not been highlighted is that the financial power of various countries has been severely divided. Among them, those who manage money do not use money, those who use money are not qualified to make budgets, and those who are qualified to make budgets do not care about money and will not use specific money. In this way, the financial power is further divided, so their role is not too obvious.

Financial power can be said to be a kind of "lubricant" between the power of affairs and decision-making, and a kind of "link" between decision-making and implementation. As a government without wealth, it is naturally unable to effectively administer, unable to implement policies accurately, or simply unable to implement them. However, the importance of financial power is very great, and in general it is restricted. During the Song Dynasty, three divisions were specially set up to manage financial power, and the financial power of other departments was divided in a certain sense by centralizing financial power, so that other departments would inevitably be unable to move too much if they lost their financial power. But of course, there are specific side effects later, so I won't talk about this for the time being. Of course, there is also a way to further divide the financial power into three parts within itself, and further divide the three aspects of money management and use of money and review, and even some of them are specifically divided in addition to the audit power. Financial power is a very important power, even more important than military power in a sense. Without the military power of financial power, it is also a duckweed without roots. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the warlords originated from the need to deplete their finances and unable to maintain a huge need to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, so they had to decentralize their military power, resulting in local tyrants having sufficient economic support and being qualified to recruit their own troops.

However, the local warlords of the Tang Dynasty originated from the decentralization of financial power, because the central government had to decentralize local financial power because of the insufficient material conditions for raising soldiers, but the local government had the power to raise military expenses on its own. This gave the local princes independent financial power, and eventually evolved into warlords. Although the death of the Han and Tang dynasties was superficially a decentralization of military power and a decentralization of financial power, in fact it was essentially the same, because the central financial resources were exhausted, so they had to decentralize military power or financial power to solve it, but in the end, they drank water to quench their thirst. An army without financial power can never become a warlord. Therefore, financial power is a very important power, after having financial power, you can almost penetrate your tentacles into all aspects, who has financial power basically means that he is the first person under the prime minister, and even the prime minister has to fear him for three points.

Of course, Shi Bufan did not want to miss this opportunity to fight for financial power at this time, although it was only the chairman of the budget committee, but it represented an opportunity to indirectly control financial power. This power to control the budget, review, and audit of the finances is basically the power of other financial powers, except for the inability to personally manage the money. Even if you can't control it alone, as long as you get the position of chairman, it is a very important power.

"Your Majesty, this money was personally obtained by our company, why can't I serve as this chairman?" Shi Bufan said it as a matter of course.

However, Li Shimin was a little hesitant, seeing that Shi Bufan wanted to take the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the chairman of the Datang Budget Committee, Li Shimin was a little hesitant. Shi Bufan took the initiative to ask to be the chairman, Li Shimin understood very well what Shi Bufan meant, didn't he just want to seize financial power? The problem here is clear, so he hesitates, and he is really annoyed and very hesitant.

Shi Bufan is too good at making money, Shi Bufan's financial management ability is simply the first in Datang, and no one can be so good at financial management even before Datang. If strictly speaking, Shi Bufan is the most suitable candidate to serve as the chairman of this budget committee, but precisely because Li Shimin is so suitable for Shi Bufan, he is almost the only most suitable person, and his financial management ability is amazing, which is what Li Shimin is most worried about and hesitates about. So Li Shimin was silent, really silent, and he didn't dare to really make a decision for more than five minutes.

And this situation makes other people seem to see an opportunity. (To be continued.) )
