In November of the first year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the weather was cold again at this time, and the Turks were miserable by the Tang Dynasty this time. Even many Turkic merchants www.biquge.info signed loan agreements, so that they would be burdened with a huge debt in the future, and they would also leave a huge handle in Datang. If they dare to be disobedient, then Datang will dare to tell the Turks all this debt. When the time comes, the Turks will hate them to death, and they will definitely be slaughtered by the leaders of the tribes. And Shi Bufan also "kindly" told them to use the scissors to exploit these Turkic herdsmen, so that these people will become an important tool for the Tang Dynasty to exploit the Turkic herdsmen, and they will never be able to turn over in the future. As for Datang, it will receive at least 100,000 yuan of additional budget revenue every year, so that Datang's fiscal revenue will directly increase by 50%, which is definitely a huge wealth.

It is not so easy to know that it is not so easy for any country to increase its budget by one percent at a time. Either it is a tax increase, or some other means to exploit the people, but in any case, it is not a good thing. And an increase of 50 percent at a time is definitely killing the people. However, this time Shi Bufan is exploiting the Turks, and there is a lot of hatred between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, not only will everyone not scold Shi Bufan, but will say that Shi Bufan did a good job. However, when the money arrived in Datang, it also caused huge disputes.

Soon, on the first day of November, the court will be a complete sensation in the world, and it will even be written into history, becoming a story within the Tang Dynasty that is enough to talk about for hundreds of years.

"If you have anything to do, please go back to work!" Li Shimin said.

It is impossible to delay too much time at the pilgrimage, like the kind on TV that lasts for half a day, but there are actually very few. Most of them go back to work after the meeting, and they won't stay here all the time.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry asks the Emperor to allocate 10,000 yuan to us, and our Ministry of Industry will build water conservancy on a large scale in various prefectures and counties, so we need money. Even our Ministry of Industry has made plans to build water conservancy on a large scale throughout the country in the future to help the people farm. A minimum of 10,000 yuan per year is required. Wailang, a member of the water department of the Ministry of Industry, said.

However, other departments were not to be outdone, and the treasury of the Ministry of War also said: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of War lacks ordnance, so I ask the Emperor to allocate 10,000 yuan a year in the future for repairing and manufacturing ordnance." ”

"Your Majesty, the war horses in our Taifu Temple are short of money and food, please ask the emperor to allocate funds!" "Your Majesty, our Dali Temple asks the emperor to allocate funds to clear the backlog of cases in order to restore the innocence of the people!" ……

Next, officials from many departments came out to start the performance, and the content of the performance was varied, and the excuses were all kind. But in the final analysis, it is actually two words - asking for money. These officials began to ask Li Shimin for money and more budgets. It's not even just a one-time request for money, but an increase in funding every year. This kind of annual increase in funding is a long-term investment, and once it has been accumulated over the years, the cost is definitely quite a lot. And they don't ask for money all at once, but they have to accumulate it year after year, which is enough to be a staggering amount.

Shi Bufan's face was dark, and he couldn't help but say to Zhang Xingcheng next to him: "Lao Zhang, we are in trouble!" ”

"Shi Yuan Wailang, what's going on?" Zhang Xingcheng asked.

Shi Bufan said: "This time, our criminal department has become Tang monk meat, and everyone wants to take a bite!" ”

"Tang monk meat?" Zhang Xingcheng didn't quite understand what it meant.

"Tang monk meat, that is, a very delicious meat, everyone wants to take a bite. And our Criminal Department is now rich, this is our Criminal Department Division can get more than 100,000 yuan of income every year, what do you say this is not Tang monk meat? Shi Bufan said with a wry smile.

Zhang Xingcheng's face is not good, this is definitely Tang monk meat! Shi Bufan is a macroeconomist, and there are many high-ranking officials in that famous school! Can he not know this bit of the government's troubles? Every year when the budget is in the budget, many departments come to ask for money, anyway, they set up projects to increase their financial budgets in various ways and strive to get more money. In the government, if there is no money, it will not be able to govern. And the budget is the foundation to ensure the power of affairs, if there is not enough money, then how to govern? The implementation of the policy, that costs money, how to administer without money?

And the emperors of China, and even the republics of later generations, all knew a truth, using financial power to clamp down on power. The Song Dynasty set up a separate position called the Three Envoys, who controlled the financial power of the whole country, which can be said to be a tool to clamp down on the power of the prime minister. Even in the later republican period, the tax-sharing system also had some of this idea to a certain extent, and the local financial power was transferred to the central government, and the central power position was guaranteed.

However, any government's budget is limited, every penny is a cake, and any department wants to eat an extra bite of this cake. Who is not breaking the head and hoping to get more money, with money can do things effectively and effectively administer. Only after effective administration can merit be promoted, and with more money, officials in the department can have more "benefits"!

Therefore, Shi Bufan is very clear that ordinary people may think that there are many corrupt officials in the department that manages finances such as the Ministry of Households. He knows that it is the poorest who manages the finances, and all departments, whether they are for the public or the private, will supervise your financial officials, making it difficult for you to be greedy. Those who manage money don't use money, and those who use money don't care about money, this is a truth that ancient people understood, so it is the financial department that is the most difficult to embezzle. The officials of the financial department are the maids who take the keys, but they can't be the masters! Therefore, officials in the financial system are less likely to be directly corrupted than in various departments.

However, there are loopholes in Datang's financial system. When Shi Bufan served as the secretary of the door, he was stunned that "self-expansion" made the Simen Division into a fat "Tang monk", and the various commercial tax revenues collected by the Simen Division from various places and the Turks every year reached no less than 100,000 yuan, which was almost the vast majority of the annual financial revenue of the Tang Household Department. However, this more than 100,000 yuan belongs to the financial power of the criminal department, not the financial power of the household department. The money of the household department has to be used to supply the affairs and powers of various departments across the country, but the criminal department does not have to bear it, so it is completely inverted between financial power and real power. The financial power of the criminal department is far greater than that of the household department, which is simply a cheat.

Is this normal for the Supreme Court to be higher than the tax revenue of the entire country every year? This Si Men Si is simply a hen that lays golden eggs, and they are all Tang monks, and everyone wants to take a bite.

"Damn, it feels like this guy has a big snake hole, and he's coming to ask for money!" Shi Bufan scolded in his heart.

Shi Bufan also knows that this is the case with all government departments. The snake is just a big hole. The higher the income, the more places to spend it. When a company is small, it spends less money, but once the company is big, it will also spend more money, which is naturally the truth that the snake is big and the hole is big, and the higher the income, the more places to spend money. The income is high, and many things that I wanted to do that I couldn't do have been done, and I can now afford to buy things that I can't afford to buy. Not to mention the government departments of the imperial court, even if it is an individual family, if the income increases, it will naturally want to live a better life, and the consumption level will also increase, it is just the same.

But at this time, Li Shimin hurriedly asked: "You all came to ask me for money, but can the household department come up with this money?" ”

Han Zhongliang, the head of the household department, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, our household department can't take out so much money, even if we sell my household book, we can't take out so much money!" ”

"Li Shimin, Han Zhongliang, you pretend to me, pretend hard. Haven't you heard of you pretending to be pure here? Pretending to be pure and being turned by people! Shi Bufan scolded in his heart.

At this time, if Shi Bufan didn't know what this was all about, then it would have been in vain for so many years. Now that he has become a "Tang monk", now Shi Bufan's criminal department has become a fat Tang monk, and everyone wants to take a bite. Whoever makes the criminal department rich, the so-called puppet is not guilty of his crimes, and the criminal department is rich, which is a crime. Who knew that the Criminal Department would suddenly be so rich, and the Criminal Department is now richer than the Household Department, which of them is not tempted? Everyone began to besiege the Criminal Department, but in reality, this time the court also attacked the Criminal Department. In the final analysis, this is just a few words, "departmental interests"! The financial power held by the Criminal Department is so great that everyone wants to take a bite, and if they don't take a bite, no one will be reconciled. In this way, they are all eyeing the money of the Criminal Department.

Sure enough, Han Zhongliang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although our household department has no money, the criminal department has money!" The Criminal Department is currently very rich, and its annual income of more than 100,000 yuan is not much less than that of the Household Department! So please give the emperor an order and let the criminal department come up with some money! The imperial army is waiting for the rice to be cooked, and the criminal department has nothing to spend money on, so it should be taken out! ”

However, Zhang Xingcheng hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are more than the ministers and the auditors make Zhang Xingcheng have something to do." According to the previous rules, will the money collected by the Simen Division be disposed of by the Criminal Department? Why do you ask for money so much? ”

"Yes! The money should be at our disposal! "That's right, didn't the imperial court say that we would dispose of the money ourselves?" "We still have a backlog of cases in the Criminal Department, if we don't deal with them, then what can we do?" ……

The officials of the Criminal Department have come out one after another, and no one can stand alone between the interests of this department. The interests of the department, the idea of department-oriented thinking has been the greatest embodiment at this moment, and everyone is for the interests of their own department.

In fact, it has once again proved that the so-called interest groups are actually relative. It may not be the same interest group in one thing, but it may be the same interest group in another. Now there is a struggle between the interests of the department, and all the ministries of the Tang Dynasty want to eat Tang monk meat from the criminal department.

"Your Majesty, our Weiwei Temple also asks the emperor to allocate funds to prepare more honor guards for the emperor!"

"Grass, it's really all out of the stream, and you guards are also worthy!" Many people complained in their hearts.

Weiwei Temple originated from the Wei Wei in the Jiuqing during the Han Dynasty, and was responsible for the protection of the emperor's court. However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was already a fictitious position, mainly responsible for the emperor's honor guard, and the real power was almost zero. But this kind of unpopular guy also wants to "eat Tang monk meat".

"It's over, it seems that this time I am really going to become a Tang monk. Your uncle, you don't have the ability to make money, but I want to spend money when I get it, and I'm really a bully when I get money? Shi Bufan scolded in his heart.

Li Shimin then said to Shi Bufan: "Shi Bufan, you see that so many departments in the imperial court want money, since you got the money, why don't you take out some of it?" ”

"yes!" "Shi Bufan, you should hand over the money. Your criminal department is from a place where you don't spend much money, and we are waiting to build a water conservancy! "The same is true of us, our military department needs the funds to prepare ordnance!" "Our officials also have to spend money to find talents and recommend talents for the imperial court!" ……

These guys tried their best to force Shi Bufan to give money, and when Shi Bufan saw that the situation had changed, he immediately rolled his eyes and had a way.

"Everyone, this kind of thing is not something I can decide, please ask Liu Shangshu to decide!" Shi Bufan hurriedly pushed it up.

Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, scolded Shi Bufan all over in his heart, Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, can he not know the problems here? If Shi Bufan handed over the money, then no matter what, I am afraid that the Criminal Department will be dissatisfied with Shi Bufan. The interests of this department are something that has existed in all countries in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. There are definitely a lot of conflicts of interest between various departments, and the so-called ass decides the head, and you are in this position to be responsible for this department. Even if you come from another department, once you sit in this position, you will naturally be responsible for your own department. A leader who is unable to protect the interests of his own department, what kind of leader is that! When the time comes, people will hate you to death.

So of course Shi Bufan didn't dare to hand over the money, otherwise the Criminal Department would hate Shi Bufan to death. Of course, Shi Bufan knows that it is not possible not to spit out the money, and at present, this gang of wolves and tigers are coming to ask for money, and Shi Bufan can't stop roaring! But he was also worried that if he handed over the money, the officials within the Criminal Department would hate him to death. He simply handed over the contradiction and directly asked Liu Zhenghui to be blackened by this cauldron. Anyway, Liu Zhenghui will be patting his ass and leaving to take up a local post in the near future, so it is most suitable for Liu Zhenghui to carry the black pot. (To be continued.) )
