Chapter 67: Bad Things
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Min's shaking his head undoubtedly proves that he is in a pretty good mood at this time, his brother-in-law has laid things out almost, and there is only one left... Go to the Baoyuan Bureau to ask for silver, as long as the silver arrives in your hand, turn your head and buy the giant trees in Qi Demao's hand one by one.
This time back and forth, you can buy a lot of industries.
As for whether this counts as greed?
In Xu Min's eyes, this is not counted, at most, he relies on his ability to make a small fortune by the way through other people's hands and make a little money.
"Babbling, babbling."
Humming a small tune, Xu Min got out of the carriage and walked slowly towards the Ministry of Engineering.
Halfway through, he met Luo Zhongxi, the head of the household who came to him.
Luo Zhongxi looked at Xu Min's appearance and knew that Xu Min must have something good going to happen recently.
"Yo! Isn't this Lord Xu? Looks like I'm in a good mood today.. Something good is coming, if so, I can congratulate Lord Xu here. ”
"No, no. You and I are just people who serve the court, what good things can be, it's just a little trivial at home... It's really not on the table. ”
"Haha! As long as it's a good thing. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Yo? Lord Xu is polite, isn't this a matter of your Ministry of Industry? I heard that the Baoyuan Bureau is going to merge with our Treasure Money Lifting Division, and I will go to the Treasure Money Manager to manage the accounts. ”
???
This time it was Xu Minzhang's turn to be confused, and hurriedly stopped Luo Zhongxi, and said in disbelief: "When is this happening.. Why didn't I hear any wind? ”
"How so? The emperor gave an edict to the households, and said it himself! You.. I don't know? ”
"Me? I? How would I know? ”
The difference between the Baoyuan Lifting Division and the Baoyuan Bureau is actually not big, but one belongs to the Ministry of Household and the other belongs to the Ministry of Industry. It's all places where there is no real power.
One is responsible for printing treasure money, and the other is responsible for minting copper coins.
Although both of them minted money and printed money for the imperial court, they did not have many opportunities to deal with each other because of their different affiliations on weekdays.
I don't even have to deal with each other below, let alone a Ministry of Industry like Xu Min.
I wouldn't pay attention to such a thing...
Xu Min continued to ask in disbelief: "Did the emperor say that after this merger... Where is this treasure source bureau in charge? ”
These words made Luo Zhongxi stunned suddenly.
He explained with a smile: "I'm sorry Lord Xu, I really don't know much about this matter, I only know that this treasure money lifting division has gone from the household department to the treasure source bureau, and it is mainly based on the treasure source bureau, supplemented by the treasure money lifting department." ”
"But I want to come. Since the Baoyuan Bureau is the backbone, it should still stay in the Ministry of Industry! ”
Luo Zhongxi could say this with a smile, but Xu Min couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, obviously he couldn't listen to this matter as if Luo Zhongxi had nothing to do with him.
So, he hurriedly said: "Lord Luo is going to the treasure money lifting division now?" ”
"yes.. Let's see how the accounts are being checked over there. In a few days, it will all have to be handed over to the Baoyuan Bureau. ”
"How are you going?"
"That's a good thing!"
....
On the way to the Treasure Money Lifting Division, Xu Min couldn't stop thinking in his heart, "This treasure source bureau must stay in the Ministry of Industry!" Such a big thing.. I don't even know that I, Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Engineering, could it be that Wu Zhong put me together? ”
What Xu Min thought in his heart, Luo Zhongxi naturally didn't know.
However, Luo Zhongxi's attitude is still quite happy about this tasteless food and a pity to abandon the treasure money lifting division to strip off the household department. After all, in this way, the burden on the household can be reduced.
"Lord Xu.. In the future, this treasure money lifting division will also have to rely on Lord Xu to take care of it, and if there is a time when the household department asks for the door, it will also have to be taken care of by Lord Xu. ”
That being said, Xu Min knew it in his heart.
That's just because Luo Zhongxi's temper as an official in the court has always belonged to a more amiable faction, and on weekdays, he said that the household servant is much more majestic than himself.
What's more, Luo Zhongxi's official positions are all higher than himself.
The left waiter of the household department is a member of the third grade, but what about himself? Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Works' Camp Division, so to speak, it's just that some people in the court have recently heard that there is a vacancy in the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, and he can stand up to it.
But now it seems that if the money is not in hand.
Don't look at the fact that you have to lose a lot of money, even Shangshu Wuzhong can peel his own skin, after all, even he knows how to start with the silver.
Wu Zhong is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
How could it be that there was no preparation?
Thinking of this, Xu Min was playing haha with Luo Zhongxi on the surface, and kept agreeing, but he didn't know when a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
Soon, the two arrived at the Treasure Money Lifting Division.
Outside the door, many officials from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry could already be seen gathering here, and everyone greeted Luo Zhongxi after seeing him, and even asked Xu Min with him.
Luo Zhongxi was the first to ask, "How is it?" Have the accounts been verified? Have you figured everything out? Don't embarrass our household. ”
"I, Luo Zhongxi, can't afford to lose this person..."
Hearing Luo Zhongxi's question, a principal official hurriedly walked over from the household department, and replied with a smile: "Lord Luo, Lord Xu, you can rest assured... We will do our best to hand it over to the Baoyuan Bureau in less than three days. ”
Although the Treasure Money Lifting Division had to be handed over, the emperor left all the officials of the original Treasure Money Lifting Division in the Household Department, and only gave the craftsmen who were insignificant in the eyes of the Household Department to the Baoyuan Bureau.
After all, there have to be officers, right?
Even if the new place has not been divided, there is no explanation.
But everyone knows that most of these can stay in the household, even if they can't... There are also Guangying Treasury and Military Storage Warehouse under the household department, and there are also thirteen Qing Officials Division, where is it not stronger than this treasure money lifting division?
So it's not just Luo Zhongxi who is in a good mood.
Even the petty officials below are all happy.
didn't know that in the eyes of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, no one's treasure money lifting division was the most suitable for Wang Siqi and gave him the opportunity to show his strength.
But at this time, Xu Min on the side had a black face.
Walking to the door of the treasure money lifting division, he angrily scolded a small official of the Ministry of Works: "When did this happen, why didn't anyone report me?" ”
The little official heard Xu Min ask.
Although he was a little confused, he still stumbled and hurriedly responded: "Lord Xu, this matter was personally arranged by Lord Shangshu, and I don't know why no one reported it to you..."
Arranged by Wu Zhong?
Xu Min suddenly felt bad!
