When Gu Xin'er heard Han Jian say this, she felt that it was not easy for her father to go home, since her father had a prejudice against Dongwang, how could he sell Dongwang a favor? Gu Xin'er wanted to ask clearly, but she still didn't ask when the words came to her mouth.

Han Jian sent Gu Xin'er to the door of the general office of the Shangting Office, and the two walked to the street together, at this time the Gu family's carriage was already waiting, and Gu Xin'er was going back to report to her mother.

The two talked about the specific time when Han Jian would go to Gu's mansion two days later, and Gu Xin'er saluted and said, "The little woman and her mother are waiting at the mansion......"

Han Jian said goodbye and said with a smile: "I will be at the house on time at that time." ”

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er nodded with a smile, got into the carriage gracefully and lightly, and then the carriage left, Han Jianli stared at the direction of the carriage leaving at the corner of the street for a long time.

Originally, Gu Xin'er was very happy to invite him to his home, but remembering that Gu Xin'er had asked him to listen to Pan Fuzi's piano party and was rejected by him, Han Jian suddenly felt a little regretful.

"It's a pity to miss such a good opportunity to enhance your relationship." Han Jian muttered to himself.

Han Jian turned around and was about to go back to the general office of the Shangting Office, but he saw his boss, Ma Jining, the leader of the Treasury Department, who was stepping down from the sedan chair and greeted him with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the East King, this is polite." Ma Jining smiled and saluted Han Jian.

"Ma Bu Ling is too polite." Han Jian returned the salute, "You are a nobleman, I have been in charge of the treasury for a few days, and it is difficult to see the leader of the Ma department." ”

Ma Jining said with trepidation: "His Royal Highness the East King is sincerely entertaining, and His Royal Highness also knows that the summer grain will be put into storage soon, and the treasury must always prepare." ”

Han Jian remembered what Ma Jining said before, saying that the treasury was very idle before the summer grain was put into storage, and now he said that he was very busy because he wanted to prepare for the summer grain storage, and in the final analysis, he was looking for a reason to put him, the newly appointed second-in-command, in the treasury.

"Oh. I see. Han Jian said with a smile, "Since I was sent by the emperor to do the Treasury Division and the Treasury Division is busy with work, how can I be idle alone?" Ma Buling, when will you take me to our treasury division, so that I can get to know my colleagues in the treasury division? ”

The smile on Ma Jining's face stiffened slightly, and then a smile regained on his face, and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, then today I will take His Royal Highness the East King to the treasury to walk up and down?" ”

Han Jianzhi frowned when he said this, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day? Think that marrying a daughter-in-law gives a dowry? Originally, he came to the Treasury to do the Treasury Division, and he should have gone on the first day of the work, but now it has dragged on for several days, and he has come to review it as perfunctory.

"There's a Rauma department." Han Jian said.

Ma Jining originally came to the general office of the Shangting Office to hold a regular meeting of the Shangting Office, but now he wants to take Han Jian to the Treasury to walk up and down, and the regular meeting doesn't seem to be too important, but he just found someone to go in and say something.

After the arrangements were made, Ma Jining said: "His Royal Highness the East King, our treasury divisions are scattered all over the city, walking...... I'm afraid I'm tired of you, can Your Highness bring a sedan chair man over? ”

Since Han Jian came to this world, he has never sat in a sedan chair, and it is very unpleasant for four people to carry him and sit with him alone.

"I didn't bring it." Han Jian said.

"That'...... It's okay, I'll find a carriage for Dongwang in the next place, and on the way, it's good to talk about the personnel structure of our Treasury Division. ”

In Donglu Street, where the yamen of Luoyang City gathers, it is not difficult to find a carriage dealership, and the hired carriage is like a taxi. Originally, he hired a carriage and a coachman, but Ma Jining meant to let Han Jian sit in the carriage, and while he and the coachman sat outside, Han Jian felt a little awkward. In the end, Ma Jining simply drove the coachman out of the car, and he drove the car himself, letting Han Jian sit next to him.

"Ma Commander, ...... are you" Han Jian felt that something was not right, a third-grade treasury department leader came to give him a fourth-grade treasury division and a car?

"It's okay." Ma Jining said with a smile, "It's an honor to be able to drive for His Royal Highness the East King." ”

Han Jian saw that Ma Jining intended to please him, and he was not reluctant, and sat comfortably on the "co-pilot" of the carriage. In this way, you can enjoy the scenery of Luoyang City while listening to Ma Jining's nonsense on the road.

Han Jian originally thought that the treasury division also had an outside yamen, but as soon as Ma Jining said on the road, he learned that the treasury division's yamen was only one of the general offices of the Shangting Office, and the sub-yamen of the treasury division was also the large and small warehouses in the city.

“…… Money depot, grain depot, armory, in the final analysis, our treasury is in charge of the treasury. Ma Jining sighed with some emotion in the end.

Han Jian listened to Ma Jining's rambling along the way, a little absent-minded, and said casually: "That means that the large and small warehouses in Luoyang City are all under the management of the Treasury Division?" ”

"Not really." Ma Jining said, "Neiku, we can't control it...... However, most of the money and grain in the inner treasury, in addition to the income from the royal field tax, was also transferred by the treasury. ”

Han Jian nodded in understanding, the inner treasury is the royal warehouse, the emperor's private small treasury.

At noon on April Day, Han Jian was still wearing a lot, and it was still a little hot to be exposed to the sun along the way. After walking through a few warehouses and meeting some big officials and officials of the Treasury Yamen, Han Jian was very interested, and suddenly he felt that in fact, it was not bad to go to the general office of the Shangting Office every day to complete a day's errands, at least he didn't have to work every day.

After walking through a few warehouses, Ma Jining also found that Han Jian was a little impatient, and he said very interestingly: "His Royal Highness the East King, we have also walked a few places in the warehouse, and then I will take you to the big warehouse to have a look, and by the way, I will introduce you to the leaders of the two divisions of our treasury." ”

The leader is the person in charge of the two yamen under the treasury division, the treasury yamen and the Chengxuan Tongli yamen, and they are all four grades like Han Jian in terms of rank, but Han Jian, the treasury secretary, is a first-class and fourth-class, and the two leaders are third-class from the fourth, and the official rank is two levels lower than Han Jian.

The treasury of the treasury is only a warehouse in the south of Luoyang City to store grain, which belongs to the place where war preparation grain is stored, but because Luoyang City has not experienced war over the years, the reserves in the treasury are also sufficient, and new ones will be introduced every year.

When he arrived at the warehouse, Han Jian was tired and hot, and he couldn't wait to go back to Qingxu Yashe early to have a cup of tea to reduce the fire. In the big warehouse, Ma Jining introduced Yang Qi, the leader of the treasury yamen who was packing up the warehouse and preparing to accept a new batch of grain sent by the household department, to Han Jian.

"Leader Yang, it's polite." Han Jian wiped the beads of sweat from his head and greeted.

"The king of the east is polite." Yang Qi has mixed well in Kusi, but he is only a young man in his twenties, and he seems to be very shrewd and capable.

Ma Jining also spared no effort to praise Yang Qi a few words, saying that Yang Qi seemed to be a good helper in the Tianshan Mountains. At this time, the Manchu Dynasty knew that the East King would only stay in Luoyang City for half a year before returning to Jiangdu, and the emperor had two purposes for staying in Luoyang City, one was to experience and the other was to develop contacts for his use. Ma Jining said as if he was selling this Yang Qi to Han Jian.

Han Jian understands the sophistication of human feelings, and he also sighed a few words casually, and by the way, he also went to the big warehouse under the guidance of Yang Qi, but soon Han Jian came out, because the big warehouse was full of grain, the air circulation was poor, the taste was not good, not to mention, it was hotter than outside.

"Ma Buling, the treasury has also walked over, if there is nothing else, I want to take a leave of absence tomorrow." Han Jian came out of the big warehouse and said to Ma Jining, who was waiting outside.

Ma Jining said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the East King is busy with other things?" You just have to be busy, you have the strength to do things in our treasury, and you don't have to work hard in everything. ”

Han Jian heard it, he was more popular if he didn't come than when he came, and people wished that he was messing around in the general office of the Shangting Office every day.

Hearing this meaning, Han Jian stopped talking nonsense, and was about to leave after saying goodbye.

"Next, I'll send you back to the East King." Ma Jining saw that Han Jian was leaving, and immediately drove the carriage to see him off.

"No need." Han Jian said, "I'm at my own convenience, and the horse leader doesn't have to send me." ”

Ma Jining personally sent Han Jian outside the warehouse, watched Han Jian leave, and when Han Jian was far away, he didn't forget to wave his hand, although he knew that Han Jian didn't have the heart to turn his head to look at him.

When Han Jian walked out of the line of sight, Ma Jining withdrew his gaze, and the smile on his face did not disappear. At this time, Yang Qi was standing behind him, looking at Ma Jining with a cautious attitude.

"Look at what." Ma Jining glanced at Yang Qi, "The East King comes down for a walk, let's greet him warmly, and the number of courtesies is sufficient." Let's go, it's too hot outside, go to the cool room next door to cool off. Fortunately, he didn't tell Dongwang that there was such a cool place, otherwise he might not have been busy leaving. ”

Yang Qi said a little helplessly: "Ma Buling, at such a moment when the summer grain is in storage, His Majesty sent the East King to do the treasury and do it, don't you think it's unusual?" ”

"Strange? What's unusual? Scare yourself, when the East King comes, how can our Kusi look a little careless? It is said that these people below you just like to worry about the sky. ”

Ma Jining hurriedly walked in front, and Yang Qi followed behind. The two of them entered a small room next to the big warehouse, where a man in his thirties was leisurely drinking tea while reading a book.

Ma Jining frowned and said: "Zhongru, you didn't go to the household department to contact the warehousing, why did you come back so quickly?" ”

The man known as "Zhongru" smiled and said, "The conversation over there is smooth, so I'll come back early." Seeing that you were receiving the king of the east, I hid here to steal a leisure. ”

Ma Jining sat down impatiently and drank, "Pour me a cup of tea." ”

"Zhongru" personally poured a cup of tea for Ma Jining, Ma Jining took a sip, sighed and said: "Receiving a Dongwang, I'm tired to death." ”

Yang Qi also sat next to him and said, "He is the king of the east, or the emperor sent by His Majesty, so deal with it carefully." Although he didn't say anything today, I always felt that he had come to check on our treasury on the orders of the emperor. ”

Ma Jining was drinking tea, but when he heard the words, his breath was not smooth, and he sprayed all the tea on the desk.

Zhongru handed over the rag and said, "Be careful." ”

Ma Jining coughed violently a few times and said, "You will only scare yourself......"

Yang Qi said: "In the first year, the one surnamed He of the household department participated in our Ku Si, although the one surnamed He finally committed suicide in fear in the Shen Criminal Division, but I guess that this matter must not be over." His Majesty has not sent a concurrent office to the treasury in the past few years, and this time he sent a concurrently office, and he is still the king of the east, and there is something strange about it. ”

After Yang Qi finished speaking, the other two did not speak.

In September of the fourth year of the previous year, He Zhonglian colluded with the Household Department to falsely declare taxes and corruption, and also reported that the old grain in the warehouse was replaced with the new. Later, the imperial court verified that there was no such matter, because the Wei Dynasty had a tradition of rumors and rumors, and the imperial court did not hold He Zhonglian responsible. But two months later, someone counter-reported He Zhonglian's corruption, and found evidence.

He Zhonglian was imprisoned and "committed suicide in fear of crime" in the cell of the Criminal Justice Division, which caused a sensation in the court at that time. Because He Zhonglian was born in Yushitai, he was a well-known official in the court, upright and upright, and had great prestige among the people. Some people also said that the empress sent him to the household department to investigate the household corruption case, who would have thought that in the end he would end up with a corruption suicide.

What's more, it is said that the assassination of the empress this time is related to the case of He Zhonglian's "vain death", and the people of the rivers and lakes want He Zhonglian to take revenge.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and "Zhongru" asked Ma Jining: "Ma Buling, look...... This year's summer grain is in storage, do we ...... Collect it? Over the limelight? ”

"It's business as usual." Ma Jining said coldly, "Just send someone to keep an eye on the king of Diandong, what kind of action does he have, we will have no problem taking the move." ”
