Haizhang, who listened to it, bluntly said that he earned the principal money by repairing the palace, and Ka Mintu couldn't help but secretly sweat for him, Zhenwu is a master who likes to pay private interviews more than Kangxi, and he understands all the industries of the Jingshi, and is well versed in the way of economy, the easiest to get rich, one salt, two woods, and three classics, how can he not know the reason?

Opening a pawn shop and a timber yard in Beijing is not something that can be taken down for tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention hundreds of thousands of principal silver, and so much silver can be earned by repairing the palace! What was the reaction of the Jeongmu Society?

Zhenwu originally just heard some gossip, knowing that the Internal Affairs Office made money quickly, but he didn't expect the Internal Affairs Office to make money so easily, the treasury was abundant over the years, and Kangxi's investment in the Forbidden City, Changchun Garden, and Summer Resort was getting bigger and bigger, but he didn't expect to fatten up the group of minions of the Internal Affairs Office.

However, when he thought of the recent investment in Changchun Garden and the Summer Resort, Zhenwu couldn't help but hate itchy, originally he just wanted to knock on the Internal Affairs Office to make them restrain themselves, but now it seems that he has to make a lot of efforts to rectify it.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Haizhang, who was lying on the ground, and after a little groaning, he asked in a deep voice, "Is it to buy low and sell high?" Is it a bribe? Or is it direct embezzlement? Or is it both? ”

"Back to the emperor." Haizhang kowtowed and said: "Slaves don't dare to be corrupt, they just follow the rules and take what they deserve." ”

That is, buying low and selling high, or even selling it to yourself at a high price? In other words, no greed can have such a huge return! Zhenwu's face was even more gloomy, and he was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "The reputation of the Qing imperial family does not allow you to be so bad, and my internal funds are not allowed to be embezzled by you slaves like this. ”

This means taking the initiative to return the stolen goods. Not to be pursued? Haizhang couldn't help but be secretly happy when he heard it, and the heart he originally mentioned was finally put back in his stomach, it seems that this is the right bet and handed over for unjust gain. Self-correction and self-examination. This was a good opportunity for him, the new chief manager, to stand up, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, the Internal Affairs Office is not easy to tidy up, and it is not good to be light. If you can't stop this greedy wind, you can't do it if it's heavy, and if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the internal affairs government really wants to be clean on both sleeves, the efficiency of handling affairs will definitely be greatly reduced. This is unbearable for him, and it seems that it is necessary to establish a perfect supervision system for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, otherwise, no matter how much it is rectified, it will only be a symptom.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to gradually reduce the authority of the internal affairs government and gradually divide it, especially some affiliated yamen must be gradually stripped away, so as not to form a trend of tail failure in the future. He has a way to make money, and he can't compete with the country for profit, but he has to take his time and can't be in a hurry. Self-correction and self-examination are just blowing the wind first.

After pondering for a while, Zhen Wu spoke: "Now that the Qing Dynasty is accelerating overseas expansion, don't limit your vision to domestic. The Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must also vigorously cultivate talents in all fields, so as to be able to keep up with the pace of my expansion. The salt administration controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the collection of the customs were withdrawn and handed over to the household department, and the royal family was not allowed to compete with the state for profit. ”

The income of Yanzheng and Yuguan is not a sum, hearing this, Haizhang couldn't help but be stunned, looked up at Zhenwu, and then hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, now the silver is spent like flowing water, and the slave begs the emperor to postpone it for two years to be handed over to the household department." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhenwu said without hesitation: "It will be handed over to the household department before the end of this year, and my internal income will gradually be transferred overseas in the future." After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice: "The Internal Affairs Office is to take care of my money, don't let the Internal Affairs Office become a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction, you have successively served as the Construction Department of the Internal Affairs Department, the Accounting Department, and the Guangchu Division, don't let people say that I don't know anyone." ”

Hearing this, Haizhang dared to speak up, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave must do his best to straighten out the Internal Affairs Office." ”

Ka Min Tu was secretly happy to be observed, the salt administration controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the distribution of revenue were not a small amount of money every year, and it seemed that the life of this household was getting better and better.

Zhenwu glanced at the two of them, but changed the subject, "Those women sent by Japan haven't been trained yet?"

Listening to Zhenwu mention this stubble, Haizhang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, those princesses and concubines sent by Japan to kiss each other, the Internal Affairs Office and the Consular Guards are unwilling to Zhenwu to be included in the palace, safety hazards are on the one hand, the main thing is to worry about sharing favors, the emperor is only one, how many women in the palace can't get a chance to be favored for life, who is willing to recruit those foreign women into the palace?

However, the Internal Affairs Office was only reprimanded today, he didn't dare to admonish, and after a slight groan, he said: "Back to the emperor, the women of the foreign country do not know the etiquette in the palace at all, plus the language barrier, the teaching is slow, and I hope that the emperor will forgive the sin." ”

This is the truth, Zhenwu nodded slightly, and then said: "Accommodating the women of the royal family of the vassal is related to the relationship between the clan and the domain, the Qing Dynasty, find someone to plan, build another garden near the Changchun Garden, imitate the style of the vassal countries to build the palace, and the women of the vassal countries all wear their national costumes." ”

God, how much does this cost? Ka Mintu couldn't help but be surprised, but, with Zhenwu's usual style, he shouldn't let the household department out of this money, he couldn't help but put his mind at ease, Haizhang was happy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' favorite is all kinds of projects, the oil and water in this garden is more profitable than repairing palaces and mausoleums, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly: "Kneel down." ”

Out of the main gate of Changchun Garden, Ka Mintu slowed down and glanced at Haizhang, Haizhang is only in his early forties, he is the minister of the internal affairs of Zhenwu who was recently promoted, and he is a third-rank officer, although the grade is not high, but this position is a close confidant of the emperor, of course he intends to build a good relationship, and he smiled at the moment: "Today can be regarded as seeing the courage of the head of the sea." ”

Hearing this, Haizhang also slowed down, and said with a slight smile: "Let Lord Kar laugh, what dare not be bold, the imperial court has been building a lot of construction over the years, and the group of minions in the Internal Affairs Office do not know how to converge, and now the officials of the Beijing Division, who does not know the fat flowing oil of the Internal Affairs Office?" Since the emperor mentioned this stubble, he must have heard of it, and he definitely did not dare to conceal it. ”

As he spoke, he continued: "Lord Karma followed the emperor in Jiangnan, and he knew the emperor's temperament very well. ”

Ka Mintu didn't expect Haizhang to climb up, but since he had a good friend, it was naturally difficult to refuse, and he groaned slightly, so he said softly: "The emperor is good at the way of economy, and he loves private interviews with micro-services, not only to understand the people's feelings, but also to understand the disadvantages of officialdom, and to serve the king with sincerity, which is the right way." ”

Serve the king with sincerity? Haizhang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, this is definitely not a lie, how to be sincere? After a moment's hesitation, he said tentatively, "Karma-sama refers to the offer of the Construction Division?" ”

Hearing this, Ka Mintu couldn't help but smile slightly, he had been in the household department for many years, and now he was the head of the household department, and he was tired of those cats in the internal affairs office, and after a little groaning, he said: "The emperor has said very clearly, Lord Hai didn't pay attention?" ”

Haizhang came to his senses, and when His Majesty saw him, Zhenwu asked him if he was buying low and selling high? Is it a bribe? Or is it direct embezzlement? Or is it both? Aren't these just a few ways for the Internal Affairs Office to make money! It seems that Zhenwu is clear about the bribery of the Internal Affairs Office, and the Internal Affairs Office is a good life seems to be coming to an end, he can't help but be greatly frustrated.

Seeing that Haizhang was silent, Ka Mintu couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord Hai, don't get into a dead end, who is the emperor?" When it comes to making money, no one in our Qing Dynasty can catch up with the emperor, besides, the emperor doesn't pick the door, you look at the customs, as well as the navy and the new guard, with such a master, the internal affairs government still has to worry about no silver? ”

Haizhang nodded again and again when he heard this, as long as he survived this hurdle, the good days of the Internal Affairs Office were ahead, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Ka's golden and jade good words, Haizhang must remember it." ”

"Hai-sama doesn't need to be polite." Kamintu hurriedly returned the salute.

Three days later, the news of the start of the draft girl soon spread in the capital, and the reaction from the outside city was not too big, because the draft girl was only limited to the flag people, and was not among the flag girls who wanted to be mixed into the show girl, which was as difficult as climbing to the sky, of course, in the flag wanted to escape the draft, it was also as difficult as climbing to the sky, because the management of the flag was quite strict, and the show girls who sent to the draft must go through strict review, and the patriarch, the leader, the Xiao riding school, and the leader of the leader should report to the capital one by one, and then gather together.

This can be described as a layer of checks, if there is an impostor, I don't know how many people will be implicated, this is a big crime of bullying, at least the family is exiled, and the heavy is full of beheading, who dares to joke with their lives and future?

Compared with the outer city, the inner city is busy, the age of the candidate flag women have begun to prepare, this is the first draft of Emperor Zhenwu, not only the imperial court attaches great importance to the selection of women, Zhenwu is only twenty-six years old this year, and there are only a few concubines in the harem, once selected, the chance of being pampered is quite large, if you can give birth to a prince, the whole family will soar, this opportunity to change the fate of the family, who dares not to pay attention?

But where you have a relationship with the palace, there is no simple, the draft is not only to enrich the harem, but also a means of encircling the court officials, as the so-called one person gets the way, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, although the Qing Dynasty strictly prohibits the harem from interfering in politics, but the indirect impact can not be erased in any way, the significance of the draft girl is so significant, that the officials of the Beijing division pay special attention from top to bottom, and the people who send the draft girl are using all the relationships that can be used to ensure that their show girls can enter the palace smoothly.
