In the capital, in the palace, in the Taihe Palace, Emperor Qianlong was discussing Chang Rong and He Shen, the two uncles and nephews, with Li Libao, the head of the household department.

“…………”

"Li Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Emperor Qianlong, as the hero of the Qing Dynasty, was a very shrewd existence, otherwise, he would not have achieved perfect martial arts.

Although, a large part of these ten martial arts are boasting...

In the face of the one million taels of silver sent to the door, although Emperor Qianlong said that he was very happy, he still muttered a little in his heart.

Although there is not always the kind of malicious association that Diao Min wants to harm me, there are still suspicions.

“…………”

"Your Majesty thinks that no matter what these two people think, they must be greatly praised in front of everyone, and even rewarded heavily!"

Li Libao can achieve the position of the head of the household in the officialdom, and he is naturally a human spirit.

How could he not hear it, the Qianlong Emperor in front of him seemed to be suspicious in his heart.

It's just that this matter is beneficial and harmless to the household department, and it can alleviate the financial embarrassment of the household department today.

In addition, he knew that Chang Rong and He Shen, two uncles and nephews, were from the Niu Hulu family.

And Emperor Qianlong's mother, Empress Dowager Xiao Shengxian, is also a member of the Niu Hulu family.

In this way, Emperor Qianlong's body is also half of Niu Hulu's blood.

Because of this kind of reason, it is said that Li Libao, the head of the household, is this,

On top of this hall, he helped Chang Rong and He Shen to say a word.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter what kind of thoughts their uncle and nephew have, at least the behavior of the two is worth advocating and affirming!"

“……………”

"Yes, Aiqing is reasonable, since ancient times, regardless of their deeds, their behavior is indeed worthy of reward!"

For this, even the suspicious Qianlong Emperor had to admit it.

With the hard work of the emperors of Kangxi and Yongzheng, in the Qianlong Dynasty, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the external threats, except for the remnants of Mongolia in the north, have basically been lifted...

The disappearance of external dangers means that internal contradictions cannot be transferred.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty, which had a vast territory and was established by ethnic minorities, also highlighted internal contradictions.

Although there are not many famines in all the provinces of the country, there are more and more places where silver is needed.

Whether it's disaster relief or consolidating border defense, anyway, the money is spent as fast as flowing water.

In addition, coupled with the contradictions within several ethnic groups such as the Manchus, Hans, and Mongols, at this moment, the Manchus still have a lot of trouble.

The more at this time, the more it is necessary to use the silver of white flowers to stabilize people's hearts and govern the Quartet.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for his reputation and affecting the prestige of his generation of heroes, Emperor Qianlong would have sent someone to ask for money a long time ago.

It is a pity that in this critical period of urgent need for silver, none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew how to go to the treasury to get silver, and did not know how to make money for the treasury.

Now, Chang Rong and He Shen's uncle and nephew, such a loyal "loyal courtier" naturally needs to be praised well.

First, it is possible to stabilize people's hearts, and second, it is possible to encourage hundreds of officials to donate enthusiastically...

“…………”

"Well, what is the situation with these two uncles and nephews?"

Emperor Qianlong pondered for a moment, and recognized the opinion of Li Libao, the head of the household, and whispered to Li Dequan, the chief eunuch beside him.

“…………”

"Back to the emperor, He Shen has just entered the household department to do things, and now he is the master of the seventh grade, and Chang Rong was the head of the ritual department from the fifth grade as early as seven or eight years ago!"

Hearing the tone of Emperor Qianlong's questioning, the great eunuch Li Dequan's heart moved slightly, knowing that the two uncles and nephews were in the eyes of their master.

Immediately, the great eunuch Li Dequan replied cautiously: "Speaking of which, this kid He Shen has just passed the township test before and has become a lifter!" ”

"He, the seventh-grade master of the household, got it through the way of Lord Zongyan!"

“…………”

"Oh, it's through the relationship between this guy Zongyan and he became an official, this is the first time that he has panicked..."

Hearing that He Shen became an official through the relationship of his cousins, Emperor Qianlong was obviously more interested.

Emperor Qianlong subconsciously tapped the handrail with his right hand and said.

"Since this pair of uncles and nephews have the heart to serve the country, I naturally can't discourage their enthusiasm!"

“………”

Hearing Qianlong's hints, Li Libao, the head of the household, and Li Dequan, the chief eunuch, glanced at each other, and their hearts moved slightly.

The two of them, the uncles and nephews of Chang Rong and He Shen, are really lucky, and when they come into contact with this matter, they will immediately be appreciated and promoted by Emperor Qianlong.

For Emperor Qianlong's thoughts, Li Libao, the head of the household department, and Li Dequan, the great eunuch, are naturally Men'er Qing, otherwise they would not be able to do it, and they are in this position now.

“…………“

No matter what happens to the uncle and nephew, they are a benchmark and must be set up.

……

Chang Rong and He Shen, the two uncles and nephews, lived a leisurely life after returning to their respective homes.

On Heshen's side, given that he is a newcomer to the household department, he still has a lot of background.

Wu Tao, who was in charge of the affairs of the department, did not arrange specific financial bookkeeping tasks for him after careful consideration, but threw He Shen to Zhang Xin, an old man who was also the main secretary.

Wu Tao, the right waiter, ordered Zhang Xin to take this newcomer with a somewhat special identity.

“…………”

In fact, He Shen has been exposed to some of the work content before, and after a period of study and understanding, He Shen has basically understood the specific operation functions of the household department.

Speaking of which, in modern times, the Ministry of Household Affairs is a combination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.

“…………”

The main functions of the Household Department include the control of land, household registration, taxation, salaries and all financial matters.

To put it in layman's terms, the household department is in charge of the country's financial expenditure, income and expenditure. State-level departments.

He Shen and Zhang Xin, the old man of the household department, are both in charge of the affairs of the Hebei region...

Of course, they all do some simple work of ordinary bookkeepers, but the only difference is that they are responsible for the accounts of the government.

“…………”

As He Shen became more and more good at straightening out his book expenses, he was exposed to more and more official duties.

Gradually, He Shen found that on the books of the household department, in addition to the clear accounts. There are also some shady accounts.

How to say it, although the accounting affairs of the household department are harsh and heavy, in Heshen's view, it is nothing more than one in and one out.

Involving the national taxation, the flow of tens of millions of taels of silver is basically only in a few thousand volumes of account books, and there are general records.
