Chapter 600: [Door-to-door Asking for Money]
……
Li Chengqian took the tea brought by a waiter from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and after taking a sip, he replied.
"He gave me an order to equip him with a batch of bicycles, you know, this is what I invented, two-wheeled walking, to be equipped with a police dog team."
The Ministry of Civil Affairs nodded as if he didn't understand.
Li Chengqian continued: "But after he gave me the order, he didn't give me the money, I waited for several days, and he kept delaying, so I found him, and he said, the money is with you." ”
"Huh?" The Ministry of Civil Affairs was shocked.
He looked at Qu Tushou.
Qu Tushou also nodded, I don't know if he said this to Li Chengqian, or if he was sure that his money was here in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs didn't dare to offend the prince, so he dared to drag the money of Qu Tushou, the new prince, but he couldn't let the prince misunderstand.
"Your Highness, this order from Jiang Guogong should be issued by Jiang Guogong, not in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
The Ministry of Civil Affairs said.
Qu Tushou said loudly: "Your Majesty allowed me to serve as the commander of the police dog bureau, and gave me the money to establish the police dog station. ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "That's right." So didn't I just come to you with Qu Tushou! ”
He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we are both very familiar with each other, and many new departments have been asked for money from you." Although it is not my new department now, this money still has to be kept in my order from Jiang Guogong's hands, so please trouble your Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu to pull out the money! ”
The reason why the Ministry of Civil Affairs has never dared to card Li Chengqian's money is because of Li Chengqian's status as a prince.
And dare to card the money of Tu Shou. is because Qu Tushou's qualifications are not enough and he dares to offend. Later, there was the eldest grandson Wuji.
But I didn't expect that Qu Tushou's money is now. Moved to Li Chengqian's hand, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was stunned for a moment. looked at Qu Tushou, who had been standing behind Li Chengqian, with a respectful look, he didn't say anything Li Chengqian. And Li Chengqian's words were obviously for Qu Tushou to ask for money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Even if he knew that he wanted money, the Ministry of Civil Affairs would not dare not give it!
So after weighing it in his heart, he said, "Your Highness, in fact, I have long wanted to give the money to Jiang Guogong. It's just that the Ministry of Finance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been very nervous recently, and all kinds of money are inconsistent, and there is no spare money to give to Jiang Guogong! ”
He changed his words: "But His Highness is here now, and the minister will go to the Ministry of Gold to have a look now, and he must try to draw out the money to His Highness!" ”
After Li Chengqian nodded, he hurriedly walked down.
When Qu Tushou looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but flash a glimmer of hope.
Looks like we'll get the money this time!
After a while, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu walked back, followed by two minor officials.
After they saluted Li Chengqian. Then he talked about the bitter water, and said how difficult it was to draw out the money, but it was His Highness, and they always had to draw out the money. So he first suspended a few officials who came to get the money, and paid Qu Tushou's money first.
After finishing speaking, they sent Li Chengqian a note. With this note, you can go to the treasury and withdraw your money!
Li Chengqian looked at it. After handing it to Qu Tushou and asking him to take out the money. Then give yourself the money for the order.
Qu Tushou hurriedly responded.
The matter was done, and Li Chengqian would no longer stay here.
He stretched out his hand and hugged his fist to the Minbu Shangshu, and said, "Thank you Minbu Shangshu for helping me catch the money for this order, this prince has it in mind!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's also a matter of duty for the ministers to relieve His Highness's worries!" Several officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs all hurriedly said.
The group walked out of the Ministry of Civil Affairs with a smile, and then waved goodbye to Li Chengqian.
After walking away a few steps, Qu Tushou hurriedly thanked Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "This matter is for them to blackmail the public with their own interests. But what I wonder is, it's only been a few days, how did you become like this, your eyes are bloodshot, and your spirit is so bad? ”
When Qu Tushou heard this, he was a little aggrieved again, and said: "Your Highness, when I went to ask for money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, sometimes I couldn't see his people, and the officials said to let me wait there."
When the minister arrived at noon, he went to have a meal, but when he came back, the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that Shangshu had come, and when I was not there, he left again. Sometimes I saw others, but because I couldn't find other officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I waited there, and sometimes I missed it when I went to a thatched house. Even if I sometimes find an official, I will say that I need a certificate from another official before I can withdraw the money, but I found another official, but he said that it was not his responsibility, and then I went to the official, and he had already left, and after asking someone, he said to wait. The minister hasn't been home for two nights, and he's waiting outside the Ministry of Civil Affairs! ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry, and he really wanted to go back and smoke those officials.
Isn't this just like kicking a ball?
I used to see it in modern officialdom, but I didn't expect that there was such a phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty.
remembered that it was easy for him to get money, but for Qu Tushou, the prince of the country, it was even more difficult. It seems that the position of this prince still brings him great convenience!
"Well, thank you for your hard work, this police dog bureau is also a department I invented, you work hard, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me!" Li Chengqian said.
Qu Tushou said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness! ”
Li Chengqian looked at the bloodshot in his eyes, which came out of staying up all night and guarding outside the Ministry of Civil Affairs for two nights.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you're tired now, you go home and rest first, rest enough, and then come to work!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Tushou said gratefully again.
Watching Qu Tushou leave, Li Chengqian knew that this Guogong, who could stay outside the Ministry of Civil Affairs for two nights but had no temper, was afraid that he would not go to rest at this time, but immediately rushed to do the planning of his police dog station.
Out of the palace, Li Chengqian was thinking about finding a house.
However, he didn't know much about the house in Chang'an, so he had to ask someone.
Originally, it was the most suitable to find Lao Zeng.
But now that they're all out of the palace, they can't go back to him.
He looked at the eight guards beside him. The old dragon doesn't need to ask.
He looked at one of the guards and said, "Zhang Sizheng, come here." ”
When Lao Zhang heard this, he hurriedly came over: "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”
"Well, I want to find a bachelor's house to live in, you give me a reference." Li Chengqian said.
When Lao Zhang heard this, he said: "If Your Highness wants a house, you can find Yongchangfang, the house there is big and luxurious, which is in line with His Highness's identity!" ”
"Well, you're a good proposal. But I'm looking for a bachelor to live in, it's not big, it's enough to live alone, and it's a little ordinary. Well...... I remember that you are not from Chang'an, so where did you live before you got married? Li Chengqian asked.
