Chapter 305: Self-Respect for Wealth (Part II)
"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that my household department is responsible for the financial and accounting of the world, so why should someone from the criminal department be the chairman? Therefore, I think it is most appropriate for Wailang, a member of the Tobe Division, to be the chairman. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info," said Han Zhongliang, the head of the household.
However, this immediately made other departments dissatisfied, and Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly said: "No, I think it should be taken in turns, so that it can be considered fair!" ”
"Joke, our household department is the responsibility of managing the world's budget, what should you do when the time comes? When the time comes, your Ministry of Industry will spend money like water, so do we need to open up sources and reduce expenditure? Han Zhongliang shot back.
Li Jing just wanted to stand up and speak, but he was immediately glared back by Li Shimin, obviously Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, dared to speak, then Li Shimin definitely wanted to clean him up. Because Li Shimin also doesn't want the military to go deep into the financial power too much, the most taboo thing is that the military has too much financial power in the government, and it is enough to allow a civilian agent of the military department, if he wants more, then Li Shimin will also be black. Li Jing didn't dare to say anything, but other household departments and the Ministry of Industry began to quarrel, and the Ministry of Household scolded the Ministry of Industry for spending money like running water, but the Ministry of Industry also criticized the Ministry of Household for slamming the door, and there was a great deal of responsibility for not being able to complete the task of project construction on the Ministry of Households. This kind of kicking ball happens everywhere, ancient and modern. Now for the sake of the department's interests, everyone is torn their faces, obviously unwilling.
Li Shimin also has a brain pain, and everyone has worked hard for this financial power. It's not appropriate to give it to anyone.
Shi Bufan stood up again at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I am sick, ask for sick leave, ask for a hundred days of sick leave first!" ”
"What? Are you sick? "Li Shimin is incredible, Shi Bufan was full of anger when he spoke just now, and he was sick when he said he was sick?
Shi Bufan said: "That's right, I'm sick, I want to call in sick!" ”
Li Shimin's face darkened, and he asked directly: "Shi Bufan, do you think that I won't let you be the chairman of this budget committee, so you are angry with me, so you want to blackmail me?" ”
"Your Majesty, I don't dare, I'm really sick. So I'm going to call in sick and go to the doctor! During this period of time, I also ask all my colleagues in the budget committee to work hard and strive to take the initiative to use money well, so that money can make money, and not sit on empty seats. Shi Bufan hurriedly said.
The officials of various departments suddenly paused, and Han Zhongliang, the secretary of the household department, and Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who were still noisy just now, also looked at Shi Bufan, who seemed to be concerned about what he said just now, but it was an out-and-out "threat". That's right, Shi Bufan is threatening, Shi Bufan told them that if they leave Shi Bufan, then this money is just sitting on a mountain of money, and if there is not enough source of wealth at that time, then they are just sitting on the existing funds, and in the end they will use a little less. On the contrary, if Shi Bufan is here, then this can ensure that this money is used to make money, and this money will continue to flow more and more, and ensure that wealth can continue to flow into these departments of theirs.
Why do they value this financial power, isn't it because they hope that they can play their administrative role in a stable manner by obtaining financial resources, and they can have more credit to do? Financial power and power are closely interdependent, real power is heavily dependent on financial power, if there is no financial power, then naturally there is no financial power, no financial power, then it is useless to want to implement the power of affairs.
If Shi Bufan is gone, these money will be used for one less, and one copper plate will be less than one copper plate. On the contrary, if Shi Bufan is here, then with Shi Bufan's extraordinary financial management ability, it is completely possible to let more and more of this money flow into the account continuously, and they will be able to score.
If they were to share the cake, then the extraordinary was "making the cake". They divide the cake one cake at a time, and once they finish the cake, there is no more. However, if Shi Bufan is here, it is equivalent to sometimes the "chef" of Bufan who keeps making cakes, so that they can continue to share the cakes. If there is no cake left, then what cake will they share!
Shi Bufan's means completely shocked them, if there was no Shi Bufan, then they would not fight these conflicts, in order to buy and sell some money with a hammer, why would they be so anxious to compete? They are looking for much more than just the money, but where it comes from. If it was a rootless water, there was no need for them to fight. It is precisely because of the continuous generation of huge wealth from energy sources that officials from various departments will not hesitate to fight in the Taiji Palace, and they will not hesitate to fight for this financial power, and they don't even want to be cheeky.
But now they suddenly realize that the source of this wealth lies in Shi Bufan, in Shi Bufan's efforts, if there is no Shi Bufan's efforts to make money, where are they qualified to share the money! If Shi Bufan, the most important "main master", is gone, then what are they fighting for?
So they were embarrassed all of a sudden, and there was no need to quarrel so badly over this money.
"Shi Bufan, do you know what you're doing? You must know that I have a law in the Tang Dynasty, and if you take sick leave for more than 100 days, you will be dismissed from your position! Li Shimin said politely.
Shi Bufan nodded and said: "Since this is the case, in order not to delay the major affairs of the court, the minister asked to resign for diagnosis and treatment!" ”
"You-" Li Shimin's face turned red with anger, Shi Bufan's this is simply blackmail, it is definitely blackmail.
Shi Bufan's meaning is obvious, if you don't make me the chairman of this budget committee, then I will resign, what can you do? Shi Bufan is actually blackmailing Li Shimin outright, if Li Shimin doesn't agree, it will be extraordinary, and he will not do it, to see who has lost the most. Li Shimin is really annoyed now, Shi Bufan actually dared to blackmail him, which simply made Li Shimin very annoyed, really annoyed.
But Shi Bufan has no fear, he is not afraid of what Li Shimin can do to him. Anyway, Li Shimin can't do without him, Li Shimin needs to be extraordinary, and he really can't leave when he is extraordinary. If Shi Bufan didn't help him get money, how could he, the more and more spending projects of the Tang Dynasty, be maintained? Can money fall from the sky, or can it be blown by a strong wind? Datang is not a problem with money at the moment, the problem is that there is no money. At least more than one-third of Datang's finances are raised by Shi Bufan independently, if Shi Bufan picks and stops, then Datang's current policy implementation will be suspended, and then it will be enough for the entire Datang court to drink a pot.
This is also the terrible of financial power, in the face of financial power, once the power of affairs loses financial power, it means that failure is not far away. Without financial resources, any executive power cannot be effectively guaranteed, from small individuals to enterprises, to large countries, without enough wealth, you can't do anything you want. Don't look at many officials who look ashamed of their words on weekdays, as if they have a grudge against money. But when it really comes time to compete for the budget, it is enough to tear the skin apart. Financial resources are the guarantee of power, don't look at the high power, but once there is no financial power, it is nothing.
At present, one-third of Datang's fiscal revenue is directly related to Shi Bufan, and at least half of the financial revenue is indirectly related to Shi Bufan. This is something that Li Shimin is unwilling to accept.
The entire court was suddenly silent, they knew that this time Shi Bufan had grasped the lifeblood of the entire court, and that was one word - wealth! If there is no wealth, then there is no power, and if there is no time, then there is no wealth. Now Shi Bufan actually dares to blackmail Li Shimin and ask him to give him the position of chairman of the budget committee, otherwise he will not do it.
"It's so powerful, I dare to blackmail the emperor in turn, and I don't dare to be honest!" Fang Xuanling thought.
Du Ruhui also looked at Shi Bufan's face, a little worried, and a little "admired", because Du Ruhui knew that if he dared to blackmail Li Shimin like this, then Li Shimin would definitely pull over with a big ear scraper. But after Shi Bufan said this, after Shi Bufan said this, Li Shimin was just angry, and he didn't even dare to say a word of scolding in the real sense.
Li Shimin then said unceremoniously: "Shi Bufan, what is your illness?" Since you said that you are sick, then I will let the imperial doctor show you on the spot. If you don't find a disease, I will cure you of a deception. Do you want to go and get the imperial doctor right away? ”
Li Shimin's last sentence was obviously very serious, telling Shi Bufan whether he really wanted to tear his face with Li Shimin. If Shi Bufan doesn't want to tear his face with Li Shimin, then quickly succumb, so that the situation will not be irreparable. If Li Shimin invited the imperial doctor to come over and check that he was not sick after examination, it would be a crime of deception. The crime of bullying the king, according to the rules, is to cut off the head. So Shi Bufan still has to insist, which means tearing up his face with Li Shimin.
But Shi Bufan replied lightly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the imperial doctor won't be able to cure my disease!" ”
"Joke, which of the imperial doctors in the palace is not a famous doctor, and all departments have it, how can it not be diagnosed?" Li Shimin asked.
Shi Bufan said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister's illness is a queen!" I've been married to Dugu Daxue for a few months, and Daxue hasn't been pregnant yet. And I think it's because I'm sick, so it's a disease that doesn't come after. In this way, Daxue adopted a child named Shichen, who is my stepson. However, if I am not filial, I still try to go to the doctor as much as possible. Of course, if the Imperial Doctor can take care of my illness, it will be the best. ”
"Grass, shameless!" Countless people present were convinced by Shi Bufan's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense.
Shi Bufan's open-eyed nonsense is really shameless. For the sake of the position of chairman of the budget committee, he did not hesitate to depreciate himself as a "eunuch", and he actually admitted that he was infertile. But the entire Chang'an Mansion, who doesn't know that this is nonsense! Shi Bufan's so-called "stepson" hour is actually his and Qin Jiarui's biological son, Shi Bufan himself said that he is infertile, isn't this nonsense? Everyone was convinced by Shi Bufan's insistence, shamelessness, and shameless spirit, and they didn't even want face for the sake of their official position. Many officials present wrote a capital "suit" in their hearts for Shi Bufan. This kind of persistence, shamelessness, and shameless spirit are all convinced!
The reason why Shi Bufan used this excuse is actually very simple, that is, infertility will still be an incurable disease for more than a thousand years in the future, and the things that were famous for various infertility in ancient times are simply not too much. Even there are many infertility in the royal family, and some emperors are not even able to give birth to offspring, resulting in extinction. And some concubines are jealous and crazy because of infertility, and even many royal infertility ratios are still quite a lot.
This incurable disease, even if it is more than a thousand years later, has not been completely understood, Shi Bufan does not believe that these ancient doctors can find out the cause. Anyway, it can't be found in ancient times, but it can't be sure that it is "no". Although everyone knows that Shi Bufan is, medicine is rigorous, and the law is equally rigorous. Medically it is impossible to truly determine whether Shi Bufan is infertile, and it is also impossible to legally determine whether Shi Bufan is a bully. So this Shi Bufan is ruthless enough, and he grabbed the important place at one time.
"Shi Bufan, do you know what I think?" Li Shimin asked.
Shi Bufan replied: "I know, but I also want to say that we must let the horses run, but also let the horses eat grass!" The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers! ”
Li Shimin took a deep breath, and finally said with a little coldness: "Okay, good, Shi Bufan, you are amazing, you are so powerful!" Okay, I have appointed you as the chairman of the Datang Budget Committee, and I hope you will do a good job in the future. ”
Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "Emperor Xie, the minister must have done his best for my Tang Dynasty and died." I'm sick right now, but I don't have to go see it right away! The so-called long future, I am still young and healthy, and I may not be able to heal by myself! “
Countless ministers around really wanted to faint, Shi Bufan's shamelessness really reached a certain level, so that this would "heal itself", the thickness of this cheek is simply beyond the limit of the human budget.
"Okay, retreat!" Li Shimin scolded and hurried away, obviously he was very angry this time!
"Shi Bufan, you are amazing! This trick is self-respecting, it really forces the emperor without any way, you are powerful, you are better than me! Fang Xuanling said, and even really felt a little convinced.
"I don't dare to take advantage of wealth and self-respect!" Shi Bufan hurriedly shook his head, but no one believed him, Shi Bufan's behavior just now was "holding money and respecting himself". (To be continued.) )
