Chapter 172: Standing and Talking Without Back Pain
"Hmm." Jiang Shu smiled and nodded, and put a hand in his hand and asked him to pull himself onto the horse.
Since they have already agreed, it is hypocritical to hesitate or something.
After Fu Jiang Shu sat down in front of him, Lang Mo briefly explained to the hoopoe about the city patrol, grasped the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped west along the empty streets of the early morning.
The speed was so fast that the wind whistled in the ears of the two of them.
Jiang Shu didn't expect horseback riding to be such an exciting thing, he couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face, and asked loudly with his back to Lang Mo, "Which gate do we go to get out of the city?" ”
The wind brought by the galloping horse was too loud, and Lang Mo was afraid that she would not hear it, so he shook the reins of the horse and replied loudly: "The nearest road is from the Xuanwu Gate out of the inner city, and then from the Xibian Gate out of the city. ”
"How much farther is it to go through the Fucheng Gate than to go through the two city gates?" Jiang Shu thought for a while.
"About a quarter of an hour's journey."
"Then let's go to Fuchengmen and save trouble."
"Okay." Longmore said yes, walked to the intersection in front of him, slowed his horse, and turned north.
Just walked not far, within the high wall on the east side of the road, an angry voice suddenly came: "If the household department does not come up with the silver, how can our Ministry of Industry continue to start construction, isn't it embarrassing?" It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! ”
"That is, the household department only gave the silver for King Fu's wedding a year ago, and the cost of the feudal gift, not a single or two pieces of silver, no silver, even if the Ministry of Industry built the Luoyang Domain, our Ministry of Rites will not be able to hold the ceremony of King Fu's feudal domain!" Another voice followed.
Fu Wang? Domain?
What's going on?
After Jiang Shu was stunned, he raised his hand and pressed Lang Mo's hand holding the reins of the horse to make him stop.
At this time, another voice sounded: "Your Ministry of Industry builds a house, as long as you spend your efforts, the Ministry of Rites holds a big gift, as long as you use your brains, where do you know the difficulties of our Ministry of Households!" Hunan was hit by floods, and 200,000 yuan was allocated for disaster relief alone, and this year's tax revenue will definitely not be collected. The military department also needs military funds to mobilize soldiers and horses, concentrate grain and grass, and fight against the Jurchens outside the Guan. There is a serious shortage of staff in our household department, and the officials have not been able to make up for it, and there is no one, who is going to raise silver! ”
"You can't blame our officials for this!" Before his voice fell, someone immediately became dissatisfied, "We have repeatedly asked for additional vacancies in the six departments, but the emperor only approved the criminal department and the military department, and the remaining four departments all ignored it, this is to make it clear that we want to delay the date for King Fu to go to Luoyang to become a vassal, and we have no choice!" ”
"The prince also said that when it rains heavily five days later, let us gather in the Qianbu Corridor and ask the emperor to set a date for King Fu to go to Luoyang as soon as possible. There is no silver in this, what is the use of settling down, it is not delayed again and again! Anyway, we won't go to the military department! Someone else said.
As soon as his voice fell, everyone immediately echoed him.
"We're not going to the Ministry of Rites either!"
"We're not going either!"
……
Suddenly, in the midst of this unanimous voice, a disapproving voice appeared: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be busy making a decision yet, let's discuss it carefully." How can we easily refuse the prince's command. ”
"Hmph, your criminal department is not involved, of course you don't have a backache when you stand and talk!"
"Yes, your criminal department only thinks about not offending people, and doesn't think about the rest of us, it's too selfish!"
"I think so, the silver of the household department is not enough to raise for a while anyway, it is better to let the criminal department search for some crimes and raid a few wealthy merchants, so that the silver will not come out."
"Lord Huang's idea is very good, Lord Liu, your criminal department won't watch the household department in embarrassment, can you help but don't help?"
……
