Xu Liang said angrily: "General Zhonglang, it has been more than half a month since we formed the 'Thousand Cavalry', and seeing that the number of soldiers is about to be full, I thought that this armor, weapons, horses, clothing and other things should also be collected according to the staff, so as to be distributed!" ”

Yang Fan said happily: "Since the preparation in advance, Sima is very worried!" ”

Xu Liang said: "I thought of doing it, so I went to the Ordnance Prison, the Taifu Temple and the Household Department, but they prevaricated one after another, and found all kinds of reasons that they refused to allocate it. ”

Yang Fan frowned, sensing that something was wrong: "It shouldn't be!" We are not some miscellaneous soldiers, the descendants of the Son of Heaven's pro-army and the forbidden army, they are not unclear, and they dare to make things difficult? ”

Xu Liang sneered: "What's more! When I went to the household department to ask for rice and grain, they also told me that our Qianqi had just been formed, and the budget in hand of the household planner was set at the beginning of the year, and we were not included at that time. Now that the imperial court is tight, there is no wealth, and there is nowhere to raise it for a while, I am afraid that this military salary will not be paid for a while! ”

Yang Fan's eyes suddenly flashed with anger.

Xu Liang said again: "General Zhonglang, this matter can't be taken lightly!" We have just formed an army, and most of the soldiers are selected from the best of the forbidden armies, and they all know that we are the guards of the Son of Heaven, so they are enthusiastic to sign up. ”

Yang Fan nodded solemnly, he also knew the importance of this matter, his soldiers were all selected from the best of the best, most of them were from the forbidden army, most of these people had fought and killed people, and they were all elite on the battlefield, but they couldn't help but be a little more arrogant in normal times. They are willing to enthusiastically join the "Thousand Cavalry", because this army is higher than all other armies in terms of regulation and status, if this happens. The morale of the army will be scattered, and his prestige will fall to the bottom.

If this army has been in existence for a long time, maybe Yang Fan can establish his prestige in the army and firmly hold this army in his hands, even if something goes wrong for a while, the army's spirit will not be dispersed, but the "Thousand Cavalry" has just been established, and he does not have the spirit of a king, so that the veterans who have rolled in the pile of dead corpses will return to their hearts immediately.

If at this time he has no horses, no armor, no weapons for the soldiers to practice, and the ration and rice distribution is insufficient. can't even pay the military salary, the so-called "thousand horses" is a daxiao dialect, people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to reorganize it, and it is discredited. It is impossible for him to want to be in the army.

"Who is this trying to fight against me? It's not a big man with a background, and no one dares to go against me. After all, this is the Emperor's Guard. ”

Yang Fan was secretly frightened. But I don't know that all the reasons are caused by Li Bao'er's scoop of trouble, but now it is about to be the end of the month, and if he can't pay the salary, he will make a fuss, and he has to solve this matter immediately, and he has no time to find out who intends to oppose him.

Yang Fan immediately said: "I will go to the household department immediately and solve the problem of grain, rice and military salaries first." Wait for other things, you will keep this matter strictly confidential first, and you must not reveal the slightest rumor! ”

Xu Liang nodded cautiously and said, "I know it's powerful." I didn't come to you as soon as I came back, and I didn't talk to anyone else! ”

Yang Fan patted him on the shoulder with relief, using him as Sima really found someone, if it was Huang Xuchang or Ma Qiao and Chu Yangge, I was afraid that as soon as I entered the gate, I would be full of noise, and at that time, I would really be anxious, and let people read the daxiao words.

Yang Fan immediately asked Ren Wei to bring the war horse, led a few guards back to the city, and went straight to the household headquarters.

The household department is in charge of the world's land, the people, the government of the money valley, and the difference between the tribute, and there is one Shangshu and two waiters, and there are four divisions under it. Like the other five departments such as the Criminal Department, the name of the first division is the same as the name of the ministry, which is also called the household department, but there is also a division character after the ministry word, and the full name is the household department. After the household department, there are degree branch divisions, gold departments and warehouse departments.

The household department is in charge of household registration, soil fields, enlistment, contributions, exemptions, preferential reinstatement, marriage, and heirs. The degree branch is in charge of the rent of the world, the abundance of products, the benefits of water and land, and the annual plan is supported by it. The gold ministry is in charge of the world's treasury and the number of cashiers and weights. The warehouse department is in charge of the world's military reserves, and cashiers are responsible for taxes, grain, and warehouses.

Yang Fan couldn't tell the relationship between the four divisions for a while, but he had been in the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, and knew that the First Division was the most important department in the whole government, but all major matters were in the hands of the First Division, so as soon as he arrived at the Household Department, he immediately went straight to the Household Division.

Hubu Langzhong was originally Di Renjie's eldest son Di Guanghei, after Di Renjie died, the three sons all went to work Ding worry, went home to keep filial piety, and it took three years to recover, now this Hubu Langzhong is called Cao Han, don't look at him in terms of grade is lower than Yang Fan, but he is in power, and Yang Fan is naturally neither humble nor arrogant.

Cao Langzhong listened to Yang Fan's explanation, just smiled faintly, and said slowly: "This division is only responsible for distributing money and food according to the basis, and the branch division has never budgeted for the needs of thousands of horses, so this department naturally has no way to distribute it." As long as the division sees the detailed list of the payment of the salary to the division of the department, it will inevitably allocate a lot of 'thousand horses'. ”

Yang Fan thought that the new army was established, and it was not appropriate to cause more trouble, and as soon as he heard what Cao Lang said was reasonable, he also politely thanked him, asked where the Mingdu branch was, and rushed to the Du branch.

Duzhi Shilang is called Liu Nanquan, is a Shu person, Yang Fan entered his signing room, he smelled a strong fragrance of tea, a small guy is boiling tea in the hall, listening to Yang Fan explain the intention, this Liu Langzhong is very enthusiastic, immediately invite him to sit down, and tell the little guy to serve tea.

Although this tea smells fragrant, but after putting things like ginger, garlic, orange peel, salt and croton noodles, Yang Fan will not be blessed, so he just took a sip of it, then put it down, and explained his intention to Liu Langzhong.

Liu Langzhong tasted the fragrant tea in a fluttering manner, and after listening to Yang Fan's intentions, he immediately said: "Yes, this budget, it is indeed done by the company, such as the fixed amount of offerings, special fund storage, science and purchase, hundreds of officials, rewards and property, etc., there are jihua."

The division should summarize the financial revenues and expenditures of all roads, comprehensively pay tax expenditures, military expenditures, and military border needs, make calculations, and report to Shangshu Province and then submit them to the emperor for approval, and only then can they be issued accordingly. Such a large amount of money cannot be measured at any time, so a budget is made at the beginning of the year every year.

According to the usual practice, this temporary increase in expenditure is allocated by the Department of Households, and then reported to the Division at the end of the year, adding to the current year's expenditure, and according to the budget for the next year's expenditure. ”

Yang Fan listened to what he said, and only understood one thing: "This matter, you still have to find the Department of Household Affairs to solve it, we are only responsible for doing jihua, and once a year, you have no money, rice and food, and you can't get along with us." ”

When is it a decision to push back and forth like this, Yang Fan said slightly angrily: "The Household Division said that if you want the branch division to come up with a detailed table, you can distribute it according to it, and your company said that the household department can be issued first, and then make up the strip at the end of the year. ”

Liu Langzhong smiled and said busily: "General, don't worry, the grain, rice, and military salary are not in the hands of this company, and there is no way to give it to you." Speaking of which, this matter is indeed a matter of the Department of Households, and it makes no sense for you to be embarrassed by this department. In this way, this official will show you a clear path......"

Liu Langzhong took a sip of the tea beautifully, and said slowly: "The general can go to the warehouse, and the warehouse is in charge of the world's military reserves, and the cashier's taxes, grain, and warehouses are the things." If they have a lot of money and food, we will make a temporary budget for you, and it will be nothing. ”

When Liu Langzhong said this, he stood up and said to the little servant: "Go!" Tell He Yuanwai that Director Zheng may have some business today, and he needs to leave late for a while, so he asked a cadre from the department to wait for the news of the official. ”

Everyone has said this, what can Yang Fan do? I had to get up and say goodbye, and then go to the warehouse to see that Zheng Zhongbo Zheng Langzhong.

Compared with Cao Langzhong and Liu Langzhong, Zheng Langzhong is a little less graceful and graceful as a high-ranking household official, with a wrinkled face, thin cheeks, and two inverted eight-figure eyebrows, always with a sad face.

Yang Fan arrived at the warehouse, and as soon as he told him the intention, Zheng Langzhong poured bitter water on him with a sad face: "General Yang, your intention is clear, but the officials are really powerless, you see, this is the expenditure of this year, the treasury is empty, and there is really no money and food." ”

Zheng Langzhong moved a very thick account book, dipped it in a little saliva, opened it one by one, and pointed out to Yang Fan: "You see, this is the mausoleum supply, sacrifice, etiquette, food, science field, salary, post station, meal, reward, repair, procurement, weaving, and miscellaneous branches......

There is also here, Hebei and Longyou have frequent military disasters, and the rent and taxes cannot be paid, and the imperial court has to pay it upside down, which is the rice grain and money allocated at the beginning of the year. You see, this is the money needed by the forbidden armies, this is the relief money allocated by the floods in Fujian and Zhejiang, and this is the arrears of Jiannan Province and Qiannan Province......"

Yang Fan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Langzhong, these things have nothing to do with this official!" The Holy Majesty ordered me to form a 'thousand cavalry', and the emperor was almost hungry soldiers, I only ask you, clothing, food, and military salaries, may be allocated? ”

Zheng Langzhong put the extremely thick account book on the case, and said sadly: "No money!" ”

"You ......"

Yang Fan was furious, grabbed his collar, and several small officials next to him saw this, and they were about to step forward to help, Zheng Langzhong's thin and withered body was held in the air by Yang Fan, his face was flushed, and he still waved his hand to his subordinates very calmly, and said to Yang Fan with a sad face: "I really have no money!" ”

Yang Fan encountered such a hob meat, it was not really a punch to kill him, Yang Fan slammed him to the ground hatefully, pulled his legs and left, Zheng Langzhong staggered, stabilized his body, and shouted: "General Yang, the inner mansion Jianmingtang, Heaven, and Zhujiuding have borrowed a large amount of money from our household department, if you can give us back, the lower officials will have the money to pay you military salaries!" ”

Yang Fan flicked his sleeves, and a flower stand at the door flew up with a "bang" and fell to the wall, even the flower pot with the wooden frame was shattered!
