The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"When money is needed here, we ask the Ministry of Revenue for it. When money is needed there, we ask the Ministry of Revenue again."

"Things here must be done, and things there must be done too. It's our Ministry of Revenue that is in trouble."

"Our Ministry of Revenue manages the money bag of the Tang Dynasty. When something important happens and the court needs money, we throw up our hands in the court and say we have no money. We really have no money. Then we count what happened this year and where the money and grain went. In the end, it's still our failure to manage the Ministry of Revenue."

"Our Ministry of Revenue has been blamed for all the blame."

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue kept talking.

The resentment in his heart is heavier than a ghost.

"Sit down first, drink some tea, and calm down." Pei Ju said, "I am old enough to not stand your nagging."

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue sat opposite Pei Ju. Although he was a little excited, he still abided by the rules and manners and knelt on the cushion dignifiedly.

"I won't say anything else. Look, many government offices in the court have replaced new furniture, but ours..."

"Alas..."

It is said that the Ministry of Revenue is a lucrative job, managing the money bag. If you have nothing to do and have the opportunity, you can make a lot of money in a year.

But for those who are serious officials, those who want reputation and future, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to touch the money of the Ministry of Revenue under the eyes of the current emperor and the eyes of the ministers in the three provinces.

Once the wind leaks out, the people from the Censorate will come up, and the ministers can immediately start to check the accounts.

If things get chaotic, they can be cleaned up in a few days. They should get out if they need to.

The Ministry of Revenue has a lot of money, and these officials dare not be greedy.

How long has it been since the layoffs last year?

If they are dismissed because of taking money from the Ministry of Revenue and enriching themselves, the whole family will be disgraced, and the careers of other people in the family will also be affected.

For example, the amount of money the court approved for Jingyang County was quantified. The amount approved by the court, the amount paid by the Ministry of Revenue, and the amount received by the King of Jingyang.

If someone is exposed and the King of Jingyang is exposed, will he have a good ending?

"Don't be so pessimistic." Pei Ju said with a smile: "Think positively, His Majesty has agreed that if this service area makes money in the future, it will all go to the national treasury."

"Think about it, the tea business makes a lot of money, and everyone knows that the palace is involved in the tea business, whether it is Da'an Palace or Taiji Palace, they are all involved, so where did the money from this business go?"

"It didn't go to our Ministry of Revenue, it all went into the inner treasury. As for Da'an Palace, the emperor spent money to build a stadium in Chang'an City, we have no control over this, it's all the emperor's business. Emperor's money, and we are not good at it. "Pei Ji said:" Tai Shang emperor took out such a large amount of money, and did this job in the locust accident last year. His Majesty gave a lot of money to the ministers? "" Then I should say that my Majesty is charged from the treasury from the inner tartar. " "Is it?" "But" "" "" The waiter's face with a little unwillingness. If it is to help the people of Linying County get out of the shadow of the flood and live a good life as soon as possible, then there is no need to go to such great lengths. Time can always smooth out everything. Isn't it like this in the past?

After three to five years, the recovery will be almost complete.

Going to such great lengths and consuming a large amount of money and grain is not a wise move at this critical juncture.

Even if it is to make money, how long will it take to earn back the capital?

"No buts. If that time comes, His Majesty will have his own plans. Don't fight for it. For His Majesty, the treasury is rich, and he can mobilize more things. If you try to dig into His Majesty's treasury, wouldn't that mean you are fighting for His Majesty's power? How many heads do you have?" Pei Ju looked calm and composed: "Can you fight against His Majesty?"

"Our Majesty is not like the emperor."

"The treasury has money, but not necessarily food. If it really comes to that, I will ask His Majesty for money, not you.""Yes." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly bowed his hands in response, and cold sweat was about to break out on his back.

"Also, the matter of the service area, not only you, but also tell others not to discuss it anymore. What is there to discuss about something that has been set in stone? If you complain too much, it will offend others if others hear it." Pei Ju said, "Years ago, I met King Jingyang. The service area must make money, and there are many benefits, but it has not yet been revealed."

"Just think about it from the simplest point of view. When has His Royal Highness King Jingyang ever done a loss-making business?" Pei Ju asked.

"Then the academy on his farm..."

When it comes to this, Pei Ju frowned.

That academy is not a good sign for people like them.

If King Jingyang just wants to train some talents to manage the industries of King Jingyang's mansion, it's fine.

But if there are other things, it will be a little troublesome.

And at present, there will definitely be trouble in the future.

Otherwise, why did they send Lu Deming to the academy to be the dean?

His Majesty did not object.

I heard that the academy was as well protected from outsiders as an iron barrel.

Students in the academy were not allowed to go out on weekdays, and outsiders could not enter the academy.

No one outside knew what was going on in the academy.

Now, there are another thousand guards stationed on the farm, which is obviously to protect the farm.

His Majesty probably knows everything.

The two palaces that only the princes have were granted to the Prince of Jingyang.

In the ninth year of Wude, the guards of the Prince of Qin's mansion only had 800 people...

"The academy is naturally different from others. The academy is not a business." Pei Ju said thoughtfully.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue did not say anything else.

The academy is not a business, the service area is a business. Doing business can make money and make the treasury full, so everything is fine.

I just don't know how long I have to wait.
