Yan Chenhao's love for the people made Zuo Guangdou admire.

Sure enough, it's Shousuke! Whether it is wisdom or benevolence, it is far beyond everyone in the court. Zuo Guangdou sighed in his heart, compared to him, he was really more than a step behind.

I will be an official in the future, and I should also take Shoufu as an example! He clenched his fists to himself.

At this time, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the gate of the camp, and a cavalry pegasus galloped in, stopped in place and watched for a while, and saw Zuo Guangdou, so he hurriedly dismounted his horse and galloped over.

Seeing this, Zuo Guangdou knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted him.

And the knight, panting, handed him a letter in his hand.

Zuo Guangdou hurriedly opened it, and after a brief browsing, his face suddenly became very gloomy.

In the letter, the official in charge of logistics told him that the supplies transferred from the household department had arrived.

Grain, complete; Construction tools, complete; Construction materials, such as wood, are also available.

Only the most important and crucial thing is missing—silver.

No money?

How so?

Zuo Guangdou is not a young man, as soon as his mind turned, he had already figured out what this situation meant, in fact, before Yan Chenhao took power, this was quite common in the Ming Dynasty-

Non-payment.

As for embezzlement or something, he didn't even think about it - if it was one or two percent less, it could be said that someone was blinded by greed and took a huge risk to reach for money. But it's all gone, to be honest, this amount, unless the six ministries and nine secretaries of the cabinet are involved in the distribution of the spoils, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to be so bold.

So it can only be the court arrears.

This is the traditional art of the old Zhu family, since the Ming Dynasty has passed its peak, many places are in arrears, the most serious and famous of which is the military salary, from the Jiajing year until Yan Chenhao has not yet taken office in Wuxing for four years, the Ming Dynasty owes military salaries that is the norm, sometimes a delay is several years, there is a posture of delaying until you die.

But Da Ming has never dragged more than military salaries, and some other salaries are actually often delayed.

That is, in the years that Yan Chenhao has been in power, the treasury has gradually been enriched, and all aspects of the salary have begun to be issued on time.

But it's only been a few years, why did it start again?

Zuo Guangdou was a little distressed, you must know that he just released the words "Da Ming will not treat you badly", and he will be in arrears in a blink of an eye.

And if you keep procrastinating, that's it, it's not good, everyone is used to it, but now that the Ming Dynasty has been in arrears for several years, and the people are all praising it, Ling suddenly gave him this one.

This contrast is not looking for scolding!

He could already imagine how chaotic those construction sites would be by the day after tomorrow.

What is the problem in addition to the link? He knocked on his head, and his heart was a mess, full of confusion, anger and other emotions.

The treasury is clearly and full! What the hell are those people in the household department doing?

……

"Ni Shilang, explain what's going on! Why is there not a penny of the hundreds of thousands of dollars of silver in water conservancy? Could it be that you are corrupt? ”

Li Ruhua, the head of the household, stood in front of Ni Wenhuan, the left attendant of the household, with a cold face, and asked.

He had just learned that there was no silver for this batch of materials, and the court was forced to owe money. When Zuo Guangdou encountered this situation, of course, he immediately inquired about Shangshu from the household department.

So he found Ni Wenhuan, who was directly in charge of the matter.

Of course, he knew that the other party could not be greedy for this money, so he said this just to put pressure on him.

After all, such a big mistake, this Tobe Left Squire must give him an explanation.

Ni Wenhuan's face also looked anxious, and when he heard Li Ruhua's questioning, his face changed, from worry and doubt to anger, and he said angrily:

"How can an adult be so innocent! I have already asked His Majesty to open the treasury to allocate funds for water conservancy, but the approval of this salary has not been issued for a long time, and I dare not open the treasury without permission, so there will be today's matter! I have clearly gone up several times to urge Your Majesty! ”

Ni Wenhuan directly threw the pot to Zhu Changxun, which was also discussed by them before.

When Li Ruhua saw his angry appearance, he also trusted him, and his rhetoric was also very convincing, such a big thing really didn't seem like Ni Wenhuan dared to do it.

So he turned to frown and turned and walked towards the palace.

Thinking of the emperor's series of measures in recent years, Li Ruhua faintly felt a little uneasy.

But he had to go, after all, regardless of its various effects on the Ming Dynasty, just from other aspects, if this problem arises, the household department will definitely bear the brunt.

Who will the people accuse when the time comes? It will definitely not be Zhu Changxun, "Water Margin" knows that anti-corruption officials are not anti-emperor! Song Huizong is like that, and the views in "Water Margin" are "all Cai Jing and Gao Yu are chaotic and chaotic" There is still a big market among the people; Yue Fei was killed, Gou An of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Qin Hui also directly carried all the black pots, and few people said that the ninth sister was not, which can be seen in general.

When the time comes, it can only be the household department that is closely related to this matter to face the storm, and the most unlucky one is him, the Shangshu!

Li Ruhua doesn't want to be ruined when he gets old, so it is naturally best to solve this matter as soon as possible.

In order to avoid accidents, the military department has already begun to discuss the transfer of troops with the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and the matter is getting bigger and bigger.

Can Ni Wenhuan not know what's going on? This was what he suggested to the Emperor.

No matter how great the power of the cabinet is, no matter how much power is voted on, but some of their opinions still need to be approved by the emperor and stamped by the celebrant and eunuch, and only in this way can it be an effective official document, and the officials will be ordered to implement it.

The same is true for the allocation of funds for this water conservancy project.

As long as the emperor does not approve the slack, then in the treasury controlled by the household department, even if they transfer a penny of silver, it is against the law of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that it is corruption at the slightest point, and if it is serious, you can lose your head, and the ministers will never dare to act without permission.

Ni Wenhuan and Zhu Changxun just grasped this point, Zhu Changxun directly didn't see the strip, and left it in the middle, anyway, he didn't want to spend the money.

After all, the money in the treasury, in Zhu Changxun's eyes, can be used by him to conquer the Quartet's funds in the future! Can you not save a little?

Yan Chenhao's benevolent government is a waste in his opinion.

Especially this majesty is still very unauthentic.

He only does not approve the strips of silver.

Others, such as the purchase of construction materials and tools, he approved them all.
