Wu Yan remembered that the concubine said that Aunt Li was Li Dongyan's master, and the so-called family was the head of the family, which was equivalent to the eunuch's personal minister. In addition, it is a pair of foods, so this Aunt Li is in the harem of the inner house, and she is absolutely extraordinary.

The lofty status of the celebrant is reflected in the overall management of the internal government affairs and the participation in the aircraft affairs. Whenever there is a matter that should be played, all the general affairs including the large and small yamen should first close the palm seal of the Bai Si Rite Supervisor, hold the pen, and follow the hall; The second is that the celebrant is directly in charge of the seals of the treasury of the other supervisory bureaus.

The celebrant also 'urged the supply of Guanglu Temple', which is one of his envoys, so if you want to successfully complete the budget planning of Guanglu Temple next year, you have to go through the celebrant supervisor.

To the north of the right back door of the Jianji Palace, to the south of the Longzong Gate, there is a house that sits in the east and faces west, and its name is "Xiegong Hall", which is equivalent to the comprehensive office area of the master of ceremonies in the palace. Li Dongyan usually comes here to read the paperwork after the daily application time.

It was the day when he came to Xiegong Hall as usual, and a group of cronies stayed outside to wait, and he entered the duty room alone. This is a confidential place, and the rules are still very strict.

All documents should be carefully read, first look at the outer copy of the clerical room, and then look at the documents of the inner government supervisor and the book. Li Dongyan picked up several foreign documents on the table, although they were documents submitted by different yamen, but the contents all pointed to one place, that is, the results of the land inventory of several prefectures in Gyeonggi, such as Baoding, Zhending, Hejian and other prefectures, as well as the transcripts submitted by the honorable relatives, all of which pointed out that the imperial horse supervisor had encroached on a large number of Xunqi's fields and people's fields in these prefectures.

There are 36 imperial villages totaling more than 30,000 hectares in these prefectures, and 20 of them are grasslands and imperial villages that occupy other people's land. After Li Dongyan took a closer look at them one by one, he sneered, in the past few years, Liu Bing has relied on His Majesty's favor, but it has swelled a lot.

After reading the outer book, he put it down, and picked up the inner government documents by the way to browse, including the budget plan of the inner government that Guanglu Temple was most concerned about, and this document had been placed on the table for several days.

He didn't look at the paperwork carefully, but remembered what Aunt Li said to him at noon......

In fact, ask yourself, he and Wu Yan have no grievances or hatred, the well water does not violate the river water, and they don't like each other, but he also knows that he doesn't like Wu Yan, it is entirely because she crossed the line and encroached on the interests of the original internal officials.

There is only one man in the Forbidden City, whether it is the Twenty-Four Supervision Bureau or the harem, they all regard this man as heaven, and they all have to do their best to please him...... In this sense, there is no difference between eunuchs and harem concubines at all.

Li Dongyan looked at these documents and thought about them for a long time, and a 'clever plan' gradually came to mind: "Since you want to calculate it, it is better to settle them all over......"

————

Wu Yan was extremely surprised that the celebrant quickly agreed to the revision of the budget of the Inner Government, and she thought, this Aunt Li is really indispensable...... It can be seen that the beauty pass is the first difficulty in the world, and even those who are left behind the sentence are also sad to pass this pass.

After getting the reply from the celebrant supervisor, she hurriedly discussed with Xu Yan that the budget of Guanglu Temple had to be completed overtime, and then issued in the form of a decree through the court meeting.

The budget mainly consists of two major parts, one is funding and the other is expenditure. The sources of funds include the treasury of the inner government, the income from tribute and kitchen service, the funds provided by the six ministries, the official money of the local prefectures and counties, and the income from banquets undertaken by foreign countries.

The bulk of the expenditure is in the inner house and the harem, which is also the main reason for making ends meet. Nowadays, it is better that the use of the harem has the participation of the queen of the middle palace to correct the irrationalities that existed in the past, such as waste. In fact, the use of each house has not been reduced by half a point.

So waste is the problem.

The expenses of the inner government are much more complicated than those of the harem, and aside from personal behaviors such as illegal expenditures, Guanglu Temple has to bear more than just the food expenses of the personnel of the institutions in the Forbidden City. It can be seen from the titles set up by the inner government: in addition to the 12 prisons and 24 bureaus, there are also the inner transport warehouse, Lingtai, Han Fandao Factory, Imperial Pharmacy, Imperial Tea Room, Castor Room, Cat Room, Livestock Room, Carved Leakage Room, Sweet Room, Tapestry, Nanhaizi, Weaving and Dyeing Institute, Armor Factory, Wang Gong Factory, Temples inside and outside the capital, Anle Hall, 16 gates inside and outside the capital, etc......

Not only are there people's meals, but also the cost of raising various animals, and the most critical problem is also waste and management chaos, such as the lions and lion breeders in the inner garden have already changed, but they are still receiving food.

Therefore, Xu Yan took advantage of this to re-sort out the food supply of the animals in Da Nei, and he didn't know if he didn't check it, he was really shocked when he checked it, and the fake collars were simply flooded. Of course, to put an end to fraudulent collaring, in addition to changing the system, there is also a punishment for its fraudulent behavior, which is not the duty of Guanglu Temple, but what the imperial history has to do.

The second is that the food supply is excessive, and Guanglu Temple is also responsible for the meals made by the internal and external yamen personnel and military and civilian craftsmen, which is the largest expense in addition to the use in the palace. These people not only have Yulu and monthly food in the household department, but also have food in Guanglu Temple, and occasionally reward soup, wine, tea and rice.

So in the same way, the first is to reorganize the roster, such as a detailed record of a certain yamen worker, the old, new, and the number of actual workers, the number of straight meters, etc., and then leave the bottom, and then distribute it to the master of ceremonies and the imperial history. In the future, Guanglu Temple will no longer be responsible for counting and updating the roster, but will directly arrange the supply of food according to the number of personnel contained in the roster. As for the verification of the roster, it is the responsibility of the master of ceremonies and the imperial historian, and it is updated every three months.

Next, there are issues related to the management of Guangrokuji Temple itself, and while budgeting for expenses, we also rectify them. The first is the disorderly adjustment of the management of funds, and the second is the rectification of the chaotic management of kitchen materials.

Wu Yan is the ambassador of the Guanglu Temple's treasury, so she has made bold adjustments to the forms of accounting, cashiering, and bookkeeping, completely adopting the financial and warehousing management methods of her hot pot restaurant, and then making detailed regulations on the rules and regulations. The so-called details are as small as the details of each action and the consequences to be borne.

Finally, there is the issue of procurement, because there is a law for a long time, except for a specific natural color, the rest are supplied in the form of folded colors. For the materials required by Guanglu Temple, how to directly comprador from the market, this kind of problem has always been more prominent. If there is a problem, how do you write it into the budget?

Guanglu Temple will estimate several times a year, and the shops and pedestrians in the two counties of Wanda will take the opportunity to raise prices, resulting in uneven prices inside and outside the capital, and also causing price confusion in the price disclosure post reported in Guanglu Temple.

In the past, it was to buy and give, to advance, and then to buy on credit, corruption and fraud are private moral problems, and arrears are completely human factors, especially small lines such as quiches, hemp ropes, vegetables, fruits, and coarse porcelain......

Not only the arrears, but also the accompanying expropriation and extortion - the exploitation of the shop by the intermediaries, and the erosion of the money and grain of Guanglu Temple by the people.

Wu Yan's proposition was to sign supply agreements directly with the Imperial Merchants or reputable dental firms, and they would be responsible for supplying the required materials directly to Guanglu Temple, rather than purchasing them sporadically from the market in the previous form. For the purchase of fresh ingredients, we choose to sign production and supply agreements directly with growers in the surrounding areas, and directly supply Guanglu Temple in the form of order production.

Xu Yan still had some doubts when he heard this: "Is this feasible?" Guanglu Temple to use vegetables and fruits is not a little bit, as well as the cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, in addition to the supply of Shanglin Yuan, the shortage of monthly also need to be purchased from the people. ”

"Near-local procurement is naturally the best choice, so it can also be done, such as Haidian, Tongxian, Jizhou, Liangxiang and other places, Guanglu Temple can sign a production agreement with the village as a unit. As for the whole village, you can set up multiple production cooperatives according to Lijia, produce according to orders, and then supply them all to Guanglu Temple. ”

"The advantage is that fresh ingredients go directly from the ground to Guanglu Temple, reducing intermediate links, so wouldn't it benefit both ends? Farmers benefit, and our Guanglu Temple can also save a lot of procurement costs. ”

"Uh...... Is it good or not, but it's just that I've never done it before, and I don't know if it's feasible or not? ”

"No matter how big the warehouse in the inner house is, it can't store all the ingredients from all over the world, and it is a trend to convert silver into silver, and there will definitely be more and more cash purchases in the future. Of course, there is no hurry to sign a farmer's contract for the time being, and it is not too late to decide after the budget is completed. ”

Almost all the officials of Guanglu Temple participated in the formulation of the budget, Zhengqing, Shaoqing, Sicheng, and the chief officials, the four departments of the Great Officials, Zhenyu, Liangyu, and Zhangjiao, and the Si Sacrifice and the Si Mu Divisions, and finally completed the budget planning of the entire department three days later.

A thick stack of budgets was presented to Emperor Yongming, and it was not enough to submit them, but they also needed to be approved by the court and issued by a decree.

This budget is also related to the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang, the Inner Government, and the Branch, and it is these yamen who participate in the court discussion. However, the court discussion was not as smooth as imagined, and the quarrel never stopped during the whole process......

The focus of the controversy is that Guanglu Temple wants to 'throw off the pot,' and Kedao is unwilling to 'take over the pot'; according to the budget, it is estimated that a large amount of money can be saved, and the relevant departments want to reduce the funds supplied to Guanglu Temple, but Xu Yan resolutely opposes it; the budget is all fixed expenses, and the floating funds are insufficient, and it is impossible to temporarily increase the feast. Originally, there were a lot of feasts in the year, but if it was restricted, how would I 'eat the public' in the future......

In this regard, Wu Yan's attitude is very resolute, that is, to develop the habit of doing everything according to the plan, especially in such a large central department, and it is not a small business, and it can come as it wants.

Xu Yan was a one-man tongue battle, and Wu Yan assisted, and the two of them argued so bluntly that everyone was speechless.

The court discussion never started from time to time and continued until dark, and there was no result, and Emperor Yongming listened to it for an afternoon, and he was already dizzy: "Okay everyone, let's discuss it here today, and discuss the rest tomorrow......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Your Majesty has a decree, we will discuss it here today, and there is not much left, and I will make up for it tomorrow and negotiate with you......"

Everyone secretly complained in their hearts, is this a negotiation? Is this a negotiation? I've never seen that you Xu Buzhi is still so capable in quarreling?

Wu Yan felt that today was very cool, just like the arcade game Street Fighter that he had played before, he knocked out a group of people by himself, and he was cool.
