Chapter 20
Yu Qing grabbed Qian Shangshu who was hiding behind the crowd with one step, and said with a smile, "Master Shangshu, are you planning to renege on your debt?"

"Yes, [-] guan!" Zhao Shangshu said politely at this time, "That's [-] guan from my Ministry of War. Qian Shangshu, you said that how to spend the money is my Ministry of War's business. Now you should The money is paid.”

I saw Qian Shangshu slap his neck and say, "The Ministry of Revenue doesn't have so much silver, it's just more than a hundred guan!"

At this time, Qian Shangshu didn't care about face anymore, he only thought about changing [-] to [-] is almost once and for all, saving a sum of money every year after that.

Yu Qing didn't expect that the dignified Minister of the Household Department would play tricks in front of so many people, so he could only turn to Su Boxiu for help.

"I think [-] guan for a few iron bars seems a bit expensive." Su Boxiu also had his own thoughts when he spoke. The money saved by the household department can be used to build palaces and gardens.

"Yeah, it's too expensive."

"A few broken iron bars are so expensive, I really think everyone is a fool."

"Your Majesty, my lords still have to rely on our Ministry of Industry to build the horseshoe." Yu Qing said unhurriedly, "Do you think about the price of ten thousand?"

"Hehe, if you don't build my household department, someone can build it!" Qian Shangshu said arrogantly, "This has nothing to do with your Ministry of Industry."

Looking at Qian Shangshu who looked like an old fox, Yu Qing was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do about it. He really didn't expect that the people above the court would be so shameless.

Su Boxiu also smiled when he heard this, and kept the money.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Shangshu, who had been standing by the side all the time, said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. The former emperor ordered that all weapons in the world must be built by the Ministry of Industry, and the rest of the large number of private builders will be punished as treason!"

When Yu Qing heard that his eyes lit up, it was a turn of events, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Seeing Yu Qing and Zhao Shangshu sing together, Su Boxiu felt a little tricky. Yu Qing created the horseshoe, and Zhao Shangshu was the elder of the two dynasties. Neither of them was easy to refute, and the former emperor did have a will.

"Your Majesty!" Qian Shangshu's eyes rolled and he had an idea, "This is just an iron bar, not a weapon!"

"Hey! That's right! This is not considered a weapon, it can only be considered something similar to a saddle."

"Your Majesty, a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with." Zhao Shangshu said this with an emphasis, and Su Boxiu was stunned.

These words reminded Su Boxiu that when he was still the crown prince, what his father often said was that a gentleman is hard to follow. He even wrote a copy and posted it in the study to warn himself.

A gentleman is trustworthy, let alone an emperor?
"Ten thousand guan, the household department is out!" After saying that, Su Boxiu turned around and left. Seeing this, the servant hurriedly shouted, "Back the court!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I will send you off to Your Majesty."

At this time, Yu Qing's mouth was so happy that he could almost see the back molars, "Qian Shangshu, Your Majesty has spoken, do you want this money?"

Qian Shangshu said lukewarmly, "Send someone to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. From now on, the building of horseshoes will not be your business!"

After saying that, Qian Shangshu turned around and left. Yu Qing didn't care, as long as he got the money.

The officials walked out of the palace in twos and threes, no one around Yu Qing paid any attention to him, so he could only walk around by himself.

After a while, Zhao Shangshu stopped him, "Boy, you offended the Ministry of Households today."

Yu Qing didn't care, "Don't offend him, more than 100 people in our Ministry of Industry will starve to death."

"But this is also a waste of money. The profit made by the horseshoe will not be shared by your Ministry of Industry."

Yu Qing raised the corners of his mouth cryptically, "The mountain people have their own tricks!"

"You have good martial arts skills, don't you consider coming to the Ministry of War?" Zhao Shangshu looked at Yu Qing and wanted to win over him.

Yu Qing shook his head, "I'm a lazy person, I can't bear to puff every day."

Seeing this, Zhao Shangshu also knew that there was no hope, so he changed the topic, "Do you know why the Ministry of Industry is self-sufficient?"

"I really don't know. I only learned about this rule yesterday." Yu Qing asked curiously, "One of the six departments is almost independent from the court, which is unreasonable."

Seeing no one around, Zhao Shangshu said in a low voice, "This was decided by the first emperor. I think your boss who asks for leave all the year round knows the reason."

Back at the entrance of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Qing was still thinking about why the Ministry of Industry was like this, and he was startled when he opened the door.

I saw more than 100 people from the Ministry of Industry all dressed in official uniforms standing neatly in the yard and looking at him. The corners were full of various building tools and several stoves.

"An Guangze, take a few people with me!" After saying that, he turned around and left, An Guangze quickly ordered a few people to follow.

Those who remained looked at each other in blank dismay. Today, the lord came back with a stern expression and greeted people. Are you going to fight?

For a moment, everyone felt uneasy, thinking that their salary was useless, and they could only pray that their lords would get money back when they went out this time.

"My lord, where are we going?" An Guangze asked a little uneasy.

"Go and get the money, you don't want to take your salary anymore?"

"What? My lord, you didn't lie to us. Are you really going to pay your salary?" Everyone in the Ministry of Industry who followed behind was very excited when they heard this.

"Yeah, why don't you take you out?"

An Guangze looked at Yu Qing who was striding forward, and asked cautiously, "Then where are we going to get the salary, my lord?"

"Household!"

As soon as the two words were uttered, the people behind were so frightened that they staggered and grabbed Yu Qing.

"My lord! The Ministry of Households won't give us any money. Brothers have been there before. It's a shame!"

Yu Qing flicked his sleeves and said proudly, "It's up to you to go. I've got ten thousand guan, so he has to give it to me honestly."

After saying that, Yu Qing turned around and continued to walk, and they had no choice but to follow behind, thinking to themselves that they would be humiliated again today.

When I came to the gate of the household department, I saw that the door was opened on the left and right, and there was a soldier standing on each side with a big knife hanging from his waist.

The door is painted with vermilion paint, and the horse-mounted stone at the door is still made of marble. When you look in, you can see the neat courtyard with carved beams and painted beams. The whole Yamen can be summed up in two words - rich!
Yu Qing was a little envious looking at all this, the household registration department in charge of the world's money, food and household registration, did not expect to be so rich.Compared with this place, the Ministry of Industry is one foot in the sky and one foot on the ground.

Yu Qing raised his legs and was about to go in, but unexpectedly, the soldiers at the door blocked the way, holding the handle of a knife and shouting loudly, "Who dares to break into the yamen of the household department!"

Yu Qing pointed to the official uniform on his body and said, "You are blind, Minister of the Ministry of Industry!"

After that, I was about to go in, but I didn't expect that the two soldiers still didn't get out of the way.

Yu Qing looked at them angrily and laughed, "Is this how the Ministry of Finance treats colleagues? Can't you understand what grade of official uniform I am wearing?"

One of them shouted loudly, "Master of the Ministry of Household Affairs once ordered that beggars from the Ministry of Industry are not allowed to enter!"

An Guangze and others quickly pulled Yu Qing back a few steps and whispered, "Sir, let's not humiliate ourselves. We will definitely not be able to get in. There are already people watching, let's leave quickly!"

Seeing that Yu Qing had no intention of retreating, one of the soldiers drew a knife from his waist to scare him.
