According to what Liu Yunxiang said, when he went to court the next day, Yan Duan asked the officials of the household department to bring a large number of account books, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs checked them in court.

The ministers were a little confused for a while, but the king of Zhenbei asked them to check it like this, and they could only check it. After a while, they realized that something was wrong, and many of the accounts were not correct.

Seeing that it was past noon, Yan Duan had not returned to the palace yet, although Liu Yunxiang guessed it, he still quietly went to the Qianqing Palace to take a look, but saw that the ministers in the palace were sitting on the futon, and an account book and an abacus were crackling in front of them.

At this time, Wenchen was in a state of coexistence of worry and excitement, worried that there were too many errors and omissions in this account book, and excited that he had found the root of the problem after a lot of accounting.

The generals are only worried, they can't understand the account books, and the abacus can't be broadcast, so they can only scratch their ears and scratch their cheeks and look left and right.

Yan Twilight sat on the side of the dragon chair, looking leisurely.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and instructed the palace maids beside her to let her go to the imperial dining room and prepare a lunch for each of these ministers.

Not long after lunch, Yan Du let these ministers go down. However, one day after another, they still asked them to check the account books.

"Three years of account books, the household department has pulled three major cars, you check slowly, check carefully, this king is not in a hurry." Yan Dusk is quiet.

He was not in a hurry, but most of these ministers were not young, and they bent over for most of the day, and when they came out of the palace, they couldn't walk straight. What's more, his eyes are still spent, the numbers in the account book can't be seen clearly, and the joints of his hands are painful.

This lasted for another three days, and the ministers could not hold on any longer.

"There are too many confusions in these accounts, what's going on with the household department?"

On this day, in the court, in the face of mountains of account books, some ministers finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

As soon as he spoke, the others chimed in.

"The accounts are not correct, and I don't know if the treasury and silver are correct."

"There are some omissions, but hundreds of thousands of taels of discrepancies."

Seeing that the ministers pointed the finger at the household department, the household department Shangshu did not do it.

"Our household department is not in business, so it is impossible to calculate every account, and these ways of taxation are combined with local conditions...... Ahem...... There will inevitably be mistakes and omissions. But with the conscience of heaven and earth, we are not greedy for a penny. ”

"You say you're not greedy, who believes it."

"Then go ahead and check all the accounts that are out of order, and see if the final amount is the same as the amount of money we have transferred into the treasury. If it's one point off, I'll take it off my head immediately......"

"Master Gu." Yan Duan interrupted Gu Xian's words, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you are not greedy for a penny, and in the end, this account is still not right." ”

"This ......" Gu Shangshu was also angry for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, there were so many mistakes and omissions in the account book, and the final amount was definitely wrong, so he could only say helplessly: "Your Highness, our household department has really tried our best, especially in the past three years, various industries in Darong have sprung up one after another, and the economy and trade have developed rapidly, and our household department has a mess of things, which is really ...... It's a bit of a no-brainer. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Shangshu suddenly suddenly said: "The minister proposed to establish a Ministry of Commerce to be in charge of economy and trade. We can formulate big policies, we can regulate the market, we can make it better and more prosperous, and we can pay taxes clearly, so that there is no harm in all benefits. ”

The others were silent, there were too many things to consider, but in the face of these account books, and the hidden dangers behind them, it seemed that the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce was essential.

Yan Dusk patrolled the ministers below, and then lowered his eyes and said: "The ancestral system cannot be abolished, but it can be changed, especially if Darong wants to develop, it should change in accordance with the times." In the past ten years, Daiei has experienced one invasion after another foreign invasion and civil war, and finally ushered in internal and external stability, it is a good time to recuperate and develop the economy, and other countries are also developing, if we fall behind, it is likely that ten years later, we will fall into war again. ”

"The court is only that big, but we have to look at the long term, don't we?"

Hearing Yan Duan's words, many ministers nodded in agreement after thinking about it.

In fact, the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce did not shake the foundation, but made the foundation of Daei more stable.

It's just that there are still some old-fashioned old ministers who haven't figured it out for a while.

At this time, an old minister stepped forward: "What His Royal Highness said is not unreasonable, but the Ministry of Commerce was established, and the six ministries were changed to seven, such a big thing, but we don't know what the emperor's attitude is." Your Royal Highness, after so many days, the emperor's illness should be almost better, so please ask him to go to the court as soon as possible to discuss this matter together, instead of you doing it for you. ”

This time, Yan Dui really had nothing to say.

If he insists on implementing it, won't he become a coveter of imperial power, and some people will even think that the emperor is not sick, but is under house arrest by him.

Although it was his own son!

Being stared at by so many ministers, Yan Du could only stubbornly say that the emperor's illness was indeed almost cured, and he would soon be able to go to court.

Back at Feifeng Palace, Yan Duan leaned back on the chair and snorted angrily: "Stinky boy, when will he come back!" ”
