Zhu Yuanzhang has ruled the country for many years, and when he heard Liu Ji say this, he immediately understood the benefits.

But then I thought that eighty percent of this kind of thing was also paid for by the imperial court.

The original good mood suddenly became not very beautiful again.

"It seems that this is also the money paid by your yamen in Yanjing?"

"You Yanjing are really rich."

Of course, Liu Ji could hear the sourness in Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

hurriedly explained: "Back to Your Majesty, this is also what His Royal Highness means." According to His Royal Highness, this municipal transportation will cost more money at the beginning, and when we roll out the transportation network, this bus and horse-drawn carriage will not only not cost money, but can bring us a lot of income. ”

"Still making money?" Hearing the word "making money", Lao Zhu suddenly came to his senses: "How can this thing make money?" ”

Liu Ji explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this bus carriage is not free. ”

"Of course, as officials, free carriage rides are one of their official benefits, and they can ride the bus carriage for free."

As he spoke, Liu Ji pointed to a carriage on the left and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, look, there is a red flag on this carriage. ”

"This means that this carriage is now only responsible for pulling officials, and others are not allowed to get on the car."

"This is also done to avoid any problems on the carriage."

"With this horse-drawn coach, ordinary officials don't need to buy horses or hire coachmen, so they can save a lot of money."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look too happy, but said suspiciously: "But, what if these officials have to deal with official business?" ”

The official business mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang is not official business in the ordinary sense.

You must know that for officials, it is not just the official position that shows their identity.

There are also all kinds of full strength given to them by the imperial court.

For example, when traveling, you can clean the water and splash the street to open the road, play the green flag according to the high and low grades, the official holds a quiet card, and the copper stick Changshuo and so on.

These things are also essential items to maintain the majesty of officials.

Usually there is nothing that can't be moved, but when it comes to formal occasions, if there are no such things, wouldn't it be a mess?

Liu Ji had already prepared for this, and said without thinking about it: "Back to Your Majesty, these honor guards were originally rationed by the imperial court according to the rank of officials. But now, it's all under the unified jurisdiction of our city hall. ”

"Because it is not always used, when it is needed, officials will be asked to apply to the higher yamen. Or when they need to use it when arranging their government affairs, they will be assigned in advance. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction: "Qiwu is really thoughtful when considering things. ”

Zhu Han is actually very disgusted with this kind of thing, this kind of completely unnecessary thing, except for wasting people's fat and people's ointment, is actually useless.

But Zhu Han also knows that the existence of any thing is inseparable from the development of this era.

Half a step forward is a genius, and a step forward is a madman.

Therefore, even if Zhu Han is not used to seeing many things, he will not forcibly ask for changes.

Some things, as long as they develop to a certain extent, don't even require him to make any changes, and someone will naturally put them forward.

Therefore, Zhu Han has always been desperately playing expansion and engaging in the economy.

The real purpose of bringing down the descendants of the Kong family was not because of how much hatred Zhu Han himself had for them.

In fact, Zhu Han knew very well that in the very beginning, Confucianism had a great role in promoting the world.

It's just that with the development of the times, the rulers keep removing things that are unfavorable to themselves for their own interests, and quietly adding things that are beneficial to themselves.

In this, there are not only official changes, but even a lot of subtle things.

For example, the famous revenge with virtue.

can inherit this sentence like this, if it is not the result of deliberate guidance by the official, Zhu Han is the first to believe it.

But apart from overthrowing the Kong family, Zhu Han did not do anything to those traditional literati doctors.

It's not because they are different from the Kong family, these people are people who can really influence the general trend of the world.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, he wondered: "Since you don't collect money, why do you say that it can bring income to the imperial court?" ”

Liu Ji immediately explained: "Compared with Your Majesty, the officials call the bus carriage is naturally free, but ordinary people need to pay money if they want to ride. ”

"Depending on the distance, you need to pay one to three cents."

"Now because this bus and carriage system has just started to operate, we have few people, and there are not many lines opened, so we still need the silver subsidy from the imperial court for the time being."

"However, according to the calculations of the accounting department, after a maximum of six months, the bus carriage will be able to achieve profitability."

"Although it doesn't make a lot of money, it's a profitable project. It can not only bring an additional income to the imperial court, but also bring many benefits to ordinary people. ”

"Wait......" Zhu Yuanzhang heard an unfamiliar word again: "What did you just say, accounting...... Ministry, what's that? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang now feels that he, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is like a hillbilly who doesn't understand anything.

The more you learn about the city, the more you don't understand.

Qiwu, this kid, has simply turned Yanjing City into a completely different appearance.

Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang's question was too jumpy, Liu Ji didn't answer it immediately, but was slightly stunned.

But soon he came back to his senses: "Back to Your Majesty, this accounting department is also a newly created department of His Royal Highness. ”

"Currently, the Accounting Department is subordinate to the Ministry of Finance. However, unlike the Ministry of Finance, they do not have the right to control their finances. The main work is to be responsible for the audit and calculation, the expenditure income of various engineering projects, and the settlement and management of accounts. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "What kind of accounting, isn't it the account room?" Seventy-five, this kid, no matter what he does, has to come up with a different name. ”

Liu Ji wanted to speak and stopped.

Although he wanted to correct Zhu Yuanzhang, although the functions of accounting and accounting are similar, they are completely two different things.

But after thinking about it, in fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang said is not much different.

The most important thing is that Liu Ji himself can't say too clearly about the real difference between accounting and accounting.

Instead of stumbling in his explanation, he left a bad impression in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's better to treat him as an accountant.

Anyway, whether they are called accountants or bookkeepers does not change their real functions.

The two had barely spoken a few words when the carriage suddenly stopped slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and found that the carriage had stopped next to a very luxurious-looking building.

It is a small three-story building made of cement.

In fact, according to the aesthetics of people in this era, this small building is not very good-looking.

It's square, it doesn't even have a cornice, it's just a box.

And, because the building is rectangular.

Many people who live in the neighborhood also sneak in and give the building a nickname.

Coffin Building.

This nickname is actually clear to the people of the six yamen of Yanjing.

It's just that they can't really do anything.

You can't just arrest someone because of a name, right?

If you let the Yanguan Yushi on the side of Ying Tianfu know, you won't participate in them?

At the beginning, Liu Ji's heart was still very responsive.

For this statement, people who don't say anything about it, up and down the six departments of Yingtian, I'm afraid Liu Song is the only one.

He's a typical workaholic and never cares about this mess of eight.

Liu Ji even felt that Liu Ji might not know the code name of the coffin building.

However, after all the yamen had moved in, they were surprised to find out.

In addition to the fact that this building does not look very good, it is extremely comfortable to work here.

First of all, the toilets are clean.

Don't look at it as a small toilet, it's a very important thing for officials.

Don't look at these people, they are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty.

But no matter how big an official is, after all, he is just an ordinary person, and the reincarnation of grains is normal.

No matter how big an official is, if he wants to go to the toilet, he has to go to the toilet.

If you are at home, there are naturally people who bring toilets to make it convenient for them as adults.

But when you're working in the yamen, you can't bring someone to bring a servant to serve the toilet, right?

I can only go to the toilet like everyone else.

And this morale of the latrine......

In this new office building, Zhu Han specially asked people to burn the toilet with ceramics.

The toilet is covered with tiles and has been cleaned, and there is no smell of the smell that is unique to the thatched toilet in the past.

Many officials feel that it is also a pleasure to go to the toilet here.

In fact, it's tap water that can be found everywhere.

Due to the current tech tree, it is still impossible to actually build a water system.

But it doesn't matter, the real tap water system can't be made, and it's no problem to get a semi-finished product first.

Even, Zhu Han didn't directly say what he wanted to do.

I just told my idea to the students of Huangzhuang.

After that, in less than three days, the students of Huangzhuang had already come up with an alternative.

Build a water tower.

In this era, manpower is simply cheap, and it can't be cheaper.

All you need to do is make a simple artificial water pump, calculate the amount of water used, and send water to the water tower every day according to the time.

The rest of the water pipes and the like will naturally be prepared in advance along with the construction of the building.

This office building is also a key project that Zhu Han has focused on before.

After Liu Ji came to the eyes, although in other aspects, he did not do as well as he wanted.

Only this office building, he really went to arrest it ruthlessly.

When Zhu Han brought the students of Huangzhuang to his eyes, this building had already been built.

After Zhu Han dealt with the six departments of Yanjing, these officials with ulterior motives.

The office building in Yenching has been fully completed.

Zhu Han directly moved all the personnel here for office.

After arriving in the new environment, Zhu Han took it for granted that the original structure of the six parts was completely dismantled.

Without affecting the office and the overall structure of the six ministries, the officials who were originally entangled with each other's interests should be dispersed as much as possible.

There are several different interest groups crammed together.

If they didn't break their heads, they were already burning high incense, not to mention reporting to the group to keep warm.

The two-pronged approach also led to the power struggle on Yanjing's side, which ended faster and faster than Liu Ji and Liu Song imagined.

Moreover, when the chief officials of the six ministries have almost changed, the political situation on Yanjing's side has not had much turmoil.

"This is ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the coffin-like building, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Anyway, this kind of building is completely inconsistent with his aesthetics.

"Don't you feel bad to live in a place like this?"

Liu Ji smiled awkwardly: "Back to Your Majesty, although it doesn't look good on the outside, there is a hole inside." ”

"Don't hide it, Mr. Chang, sometimes I even want to live here."

Although there are not many people around, as long as there are people, Liu Ji is always very careful and does not dare to make any mistakes.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Liu Ji's reaction.

"In that case, please let Lord Liu lead the way. We...... I want to see if there is really a hole in this coffin. ”

The corners of Liu Ji's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.

Although I am now accustomed to working here, I am gradually getting used to looking at the square building.

But Zhu Yuanzhang said that it was a coffin board in front of him, and Liu Ji still had a deep egg pain.

Stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yuanzhang push open the door.

As soon as he entered the lobby of the office building, Zhu Yuanzhang noticed the difference here.

First of all, the lighting is very good, although it is a little darker than outside.

It's much better than those palaces he was in Yingtian.

In the office building, several people are mopping the floor.

The ground was as bright as a mirror.

This place alone is completely different from the wooden houses of the past.

At least it looks cleaner than a wooden house.

All the way to Liu Ji's room.

"Your Majesty, this is the minister's office."

It was a new word again, but this time Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask.

After all, although I don't understand the meaning of this word, isn't this room used by Liu Ji to handle official business?

There doesn't seem wrong with calling it an office.

This office is not big, there is only a desk in the room, and behind the desk is a big devil who stores all kinds of books.

Behind the desk, there is also a huge sofa that feels comfortable at first glance.

The door of the office was closed, and Zhu Yuanzhang's identity suddenly changed from a distant relative of the Duke of Eguo to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Even if you handle your official business, just treat us as if we don't exist, and if we are hungry, we will figure it out ourselves."

Liu Ji smiled: "Back to Your Majesty, it's still a little early to start work, after all, many officials haven't gone to work yet." ”

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was directly shocked: "What time is this, they haven't even started to deal with official business?" ”
