PS: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hongyi wishes you a happy New Year, the Year of the Horse, a horse Pingchuan, a galloping horse, a horse to success, and a fortune immediately!

Although he actively responded to the call of the king, he was so straightforward to talk to the emperor, which still attracted everyone's attention!

In any dynasty and generation, the monarch needs those so-called courtiers who have the ability to see and climb the pole. In fact, how many people in Ming Jun don't know which of the courtiers is superior or inferior? But often at critical moments, the lubricant role played by the whiskers is irreplaceable. This person who picked up Fulin's words in time played this role at a critical moment!

"Okay, Guo Ke, I'm very happy!" Fu Lin smiled and encouraged the Manchen named Guo Ke.

Hongyi hurriedly identified, only to see that this person was also in his early thirties, although he was a manchurian, but he was very "sleek" - his face was white, his manners were appropriate, his eyes were sharp, his eyes were rolling, and he was also dignified, but it always reminded Hongyi of the corrupt officials and officials who fell one after another in the vigorous "tigers and flies caught together"!

It turned out that he was Guo Ke who "wrote the headquarters of the Ministry of Industry with the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry". In the words of later generations, it is actually "to preside over the work of the Ministry as the first vice minister, to issue the documents of the department, and to actually perform the duties of the minister." In this way, it is most appropriate for him to do this work of sloppy slapping horses - among the six Shangshu, only he, the person who performs the duties of the Ministry of Works, is not in a real position and in a real position. Everyone else is the first product and the first product, and he is the second product. Others are all illustrious and senior, but he is from a white background and young and shallow...... Sure enough, people make the best use of it!

"The slave is ashamed. I still need the emperor to mention something, it's really damned! ”

Guo Ke responded to the emperor's affirmative words with such a sentence, which made Hongyi want to vomit again!

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchurians advocated pragmatism, which was not at all like in the palace film and television dramas of the later Qing Dynasty, and they often said that they "slaves should die", at best, "slaves know their mistakes", "slaves are guilty", "slaves are willing to be punished" and the like. Hanchen will occasionally continue the language of "Han Ming", with the sentence "The minister is dead!" "This is understandable: you are a minister, if you are so ashamed that you really want to die, the emperor really can't order you to "not die"! But as a "minion" of Manchuria. You are the master of your body and your life. Death and life don't count at all, how dare you say "damn, die"?

"That's it, you should tell me about the affairs under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works. Whether it involves North Korean business? "Hear that. Hongyi couldn't help it. Curiously, he looked back at Fu Lin's expression. Sure enough, the emperor's face at this time was quite kind, but the "helpless and speechless" in his eyes could not be concealed!

"Huh! The Ministry of Works, which was temporarily taken by the minions. When it comes to munitions, as Lord Tuhai said, it is indeed the Ordnance Department, Munitions Depot, Nitrate Depot, Lead Depot, and Cannon Depot of the Yu Heng Qing Officials Division, as well as the Qian Fatang and Baoyuan Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry. Lord Tuhai knows it well, and the lower officials really admire it! After repeating a sentence that was useless, Guo Ke didn't forget to talk to Tuhai by the way. This time, not only Tuhai, but also many Hanchen who are especially good at this on the side are even more sideways.

"Guo Shangshu is exaggerated, and Tuhai is ashamed."

Unexpectedly, people were calm and calm, and the water came to Tutun, so they politely saluted "Guo Shangshu" back. It is a habit to treat a gentleman politely, and to "honor and disgrace" to a villain is the quality! [So when some people scolded the author for being a lackey and forgetting his ancestors, I still treated him politely, still talked about things, and still "honored and disgraced"...... For the New Year, brazen self-praise one or two, look at Guan Haihan! 】

"Hehe, Guo Ke is taught." was promoted to "Guo Shangshu" by the Tuhai Fire Line Assault, and he was bored, so he had to continue to talk about himself:

"Qian Fatang and Baoyuan Bureau, although they are supervised by two Manchu and Han right attendants, and one Manchu and Han superintendent is in charge, but the servants know that their affairs are big, so they often supervise to ensure that the supervision of copper coins and coinage is foolproof!"

"Hmm!" That's all there is to it.

"The Baoyuan Bureau collects the number of copper and white lead in various provinces every year, and the slaves are also eye-catching, and they dare not be negligent."

"Hmm!"

"The money drummed by the Baoyuan Bureau will be reported to the Ministry of Industry according to the number of slaves, and the slaves will be handed over to the Jieshen Treasury for acceptance in order to be issued to the workers......"

"I know. Wei Zhouzuo, let's talk about it! Fu Lin's patience finally reached the limit, and he suddenly planned Guo Ke's verbosity, and directly ordered someone else's general!

"Huh!" The Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, named Wei Zhouzuo, had to go out to play. Although it is a little reluctant, after all, it is his "actual leader" who is reporting, but the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. So, before speaking, Wei Zhouzuo first bowed to Guo Ke, who was stammering.

"Lord Wei, please play the emperor for me and inform your lords!" The oily-headed Guo Ke still did not fall in value at this time, and after explaining a sentence, he stepped down with dignity.

"If you go back to the emperor, this munitions depot is in charge of sending and receiving flags [dào], account offices and other things; Nitrate warehouse, palm sending and receiving sulfite; lead depot, palm send and receive guns and lead; Cannon storehouse, collect and store scrap iron cannons......" Wei Zhouzuo opened his mouth to play, but in Hongyi's ears, it was as empty as the flow account of that Guo Ke brother.

Hongyi couldn't help but take a closer look at this Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, he looks the same dignified, and he is also clear-eyed, is it possible to have a relationship with Guo Keshi? was about to give up, but Hongyi stared at this Shangshu Lord as if he was distracted!

It turned out that Hongyi found that the court boots under his official robe were actually patched on the surface of his feet! An executive from Yipin went to the emperor's bedroom to report on work and discuss government affairs, and he actually wore a pair of patched boots?!

You know, this is the 17th century, not the 21st century. At that time, many dignitaries and dignitaries had learned to be honest and honest in front of the public, and men and women were thieves and prostitutes in dark corners! But in the early Qing Dynasty, a decent court dress was an industry rule for officials! No matter how poor you are, the court will routinely issue new court clothes and boots every year, so you won't be so embarrassed. And if the appearance is not in order, it is a sin. Besides, a lot of annual salaries, silver bounties and all kinds of filial piety for the subordinates are all due righteousness, so how can they not be so "deliberately shabby"! Otherwise, the supervision of the imperial history can impeach you for "being an official"! Dare to "expose poverty" in the face of the world's condemnation. Then it is possible to be really poor.

Judging from this, this Wei Zhouzuo may have a "cheap voice"! So, Hongyi still concentrated on listening to what he said.

“…… Although the minister has never been to North Korea, he knows that North Korea is a narrow place, and all the items in the accounts of the Ministry of Industry must be in short supply in North Korea! Sure enough, Wei Zhouzuo has begun to get better.

Oh, in this way, Wei Zhouzuo had a running account of clear soup and little water at the beginning. Maybe it's to take care of his own Manchurian head Guo Ke's face, right? Hongyi speculated boldly.

“…… Master Bahana has already said it. North Korea lacks brocade, horses, copper and iron, and since this is the case, it is certainly difficult for them to be self-sufficient in all the items related to military affairs. The projects received by the Ministry of Engineering are not counted. Just talk about the Qian Fatang, Baoyuan Bureau and Siku that Master Guo just mentioned. The things they come and go. Perhaps he has long been under the watchful eye of North Korean profiteers. According to the minister's bold speculation, if the combat power of the Korean shotguns is considerable, the copper, iron, lead, sulfur and charcoal used in the manufacture of guns and pellets are considerable. They are all high-grade to be usable, so that they must have coveted them for a long time in their hearts! Lord Ming Andali, I don't know if what the lower official said is right? Wei Zhouzuo really said it in Hongyi's heart!

"Haha, Master Wei has vision! Indeed it is as you say! In the last battle of Khumar, the armament of the Korean spearmen was not inferior to that of our Daqing firearms! Maybe it was smuggled from our own home! As if he had met a confidant, he began to speculate with a big mouth.

"Ah, Ming Andali, don't talk nonsense! This shotgun firearm, our military department has always been heavily managed, how can it be allowed to be stolen by those North Koreans at will? He had not spoken, and the military department who was hiding in the background to watch the play was full of Shangshu Kadahun, and when he heard Ming Andali's speculation, he could no longer be idle, and hurriedly came out to "refute the rumors".

"That's it, we don't have this in the Ministry of Industry!" The youngest Guo Ke didn't dare to jump out, but now that he has the support of the "old revolutionary" Kadahun, he is naturally anxious to clear himself.

"Lao Ka, are you in a hurry? Lao Tzu is speculation, not a conclusive conclusion. Ming Andali did not show weakness and fought back. Originally, this groundless speculation was just to put his own score in front of several Shangshu and vent his dissatisfaction with being implicated in Ren Zhen's case.

"The shotgun used by the DPRK is not a custom-made firearm of our DPRK, so naturally it will not be smuggled over. The slave has seen it with his own eyes in North Korea, and Lord Ming must know it according to the truth! Seeing that his Lord Shangshu was at a loss, Luo Colkun, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, also hurriedly stood up to clarify, and corroborated it with what he had just returned from North Korea......

Seeing that a group of Manchurian ministers began to shout, the five Hanchen on the other side were surprisingly quiet, as if they had nothing to do with the current quarrel.

"The ministers are noisy—" A shrill shout finally opened a hole in the sky above the main hall of the Akima Palace, which was gradually gaining heat, and the people immediately stopped. The one who shouted this voice was naturally Wu Liangfu, the eunuch in charge of the Yugong Palace.

"If the ministers are wrong, please punish the emperor!" The first one to come out and admit his mistake was actually a Hanchen who hadn't said a word so far.

"Haha, it's okay. Deming said, "Say, pass "Yue", should be pronounced as "Dai Mingyue"], what do you think? Fu Lin didn't care at all, as if the quarrel hadn't happened, and continued to lead the meeting to the right course.

"The minister was only promoted from the left servant of the Criminal Department to the head of the household department in March this year, and he did not dare to trespass." Deming said to bow his head politely, but Hongyi, who was short, could see that he was clearly still secretly observing the emperor's side, as if he was expecting something.

"I told you to tell you to tell me, don't be afraid. Besides, Lang Qiu took office two months later than you, according to what you say, isn't Lang Qiu as good as you understand? Therefore, as ministers, you should not shirk and dare not take responsibility because of the short term of office, but should play back according to the truth! Fu Lin corrected with a smile.

"Slaves (ministers) remember!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"Okay, Deming said, tell me about it, I think your painting is good, and the official is just as good! Go ahead! Fu Lin has grasped the basic routine of "focusing on positive encouragement", and the effect has always been good.

"Thanksgiving!" In the eyes of Deming, the head of the head of the Hanshang book, Hongyi clearly saw the joy after the expectation.

"The minister thinks that the things confiscated by the back treasury of the household department depend on the provincial reports and charges. As for the things that should be paid but not truthfully, they were used by the officials at all levels to fill their pockets. The destination of its zuihou is often the bazaars and workshops, which gives North Korean merchants an opportunity to purchase them privately. Deming said that he began to talk eloquently, but there was something to say.

"Good!" Once again, the Emperor gave words of praise and showed his affection. Even Hongyi, who has always been watching from the wall, was touched by the talent shown in Deming's words.

"Then what should Master Dai do?" The questioner was Liu Chang, the Han Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

In Yichen's opinion, this matter is not difficult to solve. First, all ministries issued a note, requiring all provincial governments and provincial governments to strictly account for their own property and not to conceal and make false reports. Second, the Criminal Department issued another strict order, stating in detail what kind of items cannot be traded in the market, and requiring the flag people to abide by it. Third, the three battalions of the Beijing division and the five city metropolitan procuratorates performed their duties and strictly investigated, but anyone who found smugglers of prohibited goods would be severely punished according to the law, regardless of whether they were bought or sold. After speaking, Deming said that he did not return to the class, but looked at the emperor with expectation.

Oh, this Deming is true when he says that he is talented, but he also has a strong utilitarian heart! Hongyi finally made a positive decision.

"Good! This strategy works. Bachelor Foldin. "Fulin must know everything about this person to Deming, and he is also willing to be a favor.

Someone on the horse came out in response - "The minion is here!" "It was the scholar who spoke.

"[To] the table over there, and you can record what Deming has to say."

[Cheng] as a recorder of the bachelor Ori Kune did not have the slightest complaint about the post, a simple "huh! After that, he went to an old table on the side, and with the cooperation of the deacon and eunuch, he began to write.

Although the [merit] is not much, but as a high-level intellectual, the "bachelor" Zhekune actually became a meeting recorder? I haven't learned what you have learned? Hongyi didn't know weishenme, he was a little lost in the dark, and it seemed that something was missing.

[New Year's Day, Hongyi New Year's greetings! I wish all readers a prosperous and successful Year of the Horse! (To be continued......)
