Some people even proposed to send out troops and horses first, and then recruit craftsmen and civilians to build a simple railway starting from Yumen Pass to keep pace with the army.
Without money everything is in vain.
Wang Shouren's biggest headache was that the clever woman had no rice. Soon he discovered that the Ministry of Revenue began to default on money and food.
It is the most normal thing for the household department to be in arrears.
They had a tradition of defaulting on military pay.
The expenses this time were so huge. After obediently giving me a large amount of money and food at first, I slowly started to do the same thing again.
Wang Shouren went to the Ministry of Household Affairs several times.
The other side started to be perfunctory and pushy. First they wanted to check the accounts with you, but then they felt that they could no longer be checked, so they said it would take time for the money and food to come out of the warehouse. Let's do it next month. It will be done next month.
By the beginning of next month, it¡¯s still the same
Wang Shouren stared at Jin Gui, the Minister of Household Affairs, with fire in their eyes.
Jin Gui¡¯s temperament is simple and quiet, and he does not hide his character easily. Speak truthfully in front of others without any scruples. In other words, he is a man of fiery temperament.
In addition, he has presided over the imperial examinations many times, advocating elegance and opposing flashy writing style. Therefore, he is still a very down-to-earth person.
Real people are good at everything, but they are stingy.
Not only was he stingy in his position at the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he was also frugal at home!
I heard that he was on duty, and when he had nothing else to do, he repaired a book. What was he repairing? It is said to be a book called "Shi Jian Tang". This book is not for others to read, but for his own children and grandchildren. What is in it? The content is mostly about how to be diligent and thrifty and how to avoid extravagance and waste.
He is extremely dissatisfied with the Ministry of War's expenditure and has reported it many times.
And His Majesty apparently shelved his memorial.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In that case??????????????? I have to use the old tradition of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
How the Ministry of Revenue used to deal with those Qiu Ba is still used now.
¡°Either you live frugally and take the initiative to reduce expenses, orI will eat you up.
At this time, Wang Shouren said with a sullen face: "Does Jin Butang really want to do this? The war is urgent now"
Jin Gui sighed: "Wang Butang, how could I not know? In fact, I I haven't slept well for many days because of this matter. Don't I worry about this war? But Wang Butang , The imperial court has its own rules and regulations, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has its rules. The money and grain have to go out of the treasury, and the silver has to be implemented. How can it be a matter of one or two sentences? Wang Butang, why don't I urge you again?"
Wang Shouren: ""
Jin Gui sighed again: "Wang Budang, you are still young and have a lot to do in the future. There is no rush in this matter. Let us consider the long term first. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes"
Wang Shouren¡¯s forehead wrinkled with a few wavy lines, but he finally resisted the urge to push this man to the ground and beat him violently.
After all, he is a respectable person.
And as I get older, my temper is a little better.
"Okay, farewell." Wang Shouren turned and left.
Jin Gui looked at Wang Shouren's back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Humph, I need money
He was calm and relaxed, but not afraid of Wang Shouren. All his actions were in compliance with the rules, and everyone in the household department also acted according to the rules, and there was no fault in it.
What's more, he has always been highly regarded by Liu Gong and Li Gong. When he comes to the imperial court, he can still be confident.
In the evening, it¡¯s time to watch.
As usual, Jin Gui returned to his mansion and was thinking about his book revision. That book was of great importance. He wanted to pass on his knowledge and experience of thrift and thrift to his descendants.
But today something felt strange, so I asked the steward: "Where is Zhengxing?"
Zhengxing is his son, and he usually studies at home. At this time, as a filial son, he should come to greet his father.
The steward said: "I was called an hour ago. So far?The frame-up thing. "
Jin Zhengxing cried immediately. He was not a man who had seen the world. At this time, he had no idea at all. He just kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic.
Fang Jifan took the poem, blew the ink, and praised: "This running calligraphy is quite good. He is a talented person. He is worthy of being the queen of Jin Budang. He has deep family roots. It's a pity he just wants to rebel."
"IIYour Highness is slandering students" Jin Zhengxing couldn't help but retort.
Fang Jifan laughed loudly and said: "What you said is wrong. How did I slander you? Tell me, we, Fang Jifan, want to kill you, but we still need to slander you for rebellion? We, Fang Jifan, have a hundred ways to kill you. Dog head, you are like a dog, do you know why you are asked to compose a poem? Because our successor never kills innocent people indiscriminately. I always follow the rules when I act. Things without rules are too dirty. I don¡¯t care about doing such things. .¡±
Jin Zhengxing sat paralyzed on the ground as if struck by lightning.
Fang Jifan then gritted his teeth and said: "The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of us are on the alert, but your father is playing his official tricks here in the capital. Why, does he think that the emperor can't cure him? My student Wang Bo'an, then Can't do anything to him? He can raise his tail to the sky, thinking that no one in the world can cure him? Do you really think that our successor is a vegetarian? Open the skylight and speak frankly. Whether you keep this poem or not, I can let you Jin The chickens and dogs are restless, but if this money and food are not paid out within three days and get into the hands of the soldiers, then you, father and son, go to meet in the underworld. Okay, Wang Xiaohu, put away the knife and let Get this bitch out of here!"
