Hanbo

Chapter 23
The next morning, Huo Shanri didn't wake up until he had to go up three poles. He had a late sleep and ran around for days. He hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.

One Liu Che, every day at dawn, would wander around looking for him, even if he wanted to stay for a while longer.

After waking up and washing up, he was a little bored, so he wanted to go to Liu Che to see what kind of horse he was going to give him.

And I heard that someone caught two horses in Dawan in the Western Region last year and offered them up. I don't know what they look like!

But you don't need to guess, Liu Che will probably be very busy these few days, so it's not easy to disturb him!

Huo Shan was stunned for a while, remembering what happened last night, curled his lips.

After worshiping the ancestors in Gaomiao yesterday, Liu Che held a big banquet in the front hall in the evening.

Liu Che didn't intend to call him at first, but Huo Shan ran to have a look out of curiosity, or to see what delicious food they had at the party.

The result was very disappointing. Not only was there no delicious food, but the whole atmosphere, one word is very appropriate to describe it, is lifeless.

Because of Liu Che's presence, a group of people were quite reluctant to let go, but Liu Che was very interested in playing, and when it was time for him to leave, he was reluctant to leave, so everyone behaved well.

Huo Shan stayed there not long before returning to his unicorn hall. After returning, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until just now.

Huo Shan suddenly remembered that today is the first day of the month, and there are still seven days before his birthday, yes, that's right, his birthday happens to be the seventh day of the seventh month.

Huo Shan didn't just think of this, he also thought of another thing.

Legend has it that in the first year of Yuanfeng, on July [-]th, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che met the Queen Mother in the palace. Isn't this this year?
And, tsk, this matter is not necessarily fake, right? What if someone pretends to be it?

So Huo Shan planned to keep an eye on Liu Che that day to see if it was true or not. Huo Shan felt that if the Queen Mother really appeared that day, it would definitely be 'very' interesting!
As for now...

A family banquet is going to be held in the evening, and Huo Shan is going to get something.

It is unrealistic to make other things now, so Huo Shan is going to go to the Shaofu to have a look, first to get a frying pan, and then make some salt and grind some flour.

In the evening, let them taste the charm of stir-fried vegetables and oil-splashed noodles.

Stir-frying is also done in this era, but it is not very common, just because there are no suitable cooking utensils and other basic utensils. If you use a tripod to stir-fry, although it is possible, but because the heat transfer is too slow, the heat is too slow to control the heat.

As long as he makes a frying pan, he can make stir-fried vegetables, even if they are not as delicious as later generations, but they are still a hundred times better than steaming and cooking everything now.

Although there are fewer types of seasonings at this time, there are also basic ones such as onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper. If the craftsmanship is superb, as long as there is good salt, the stir-fried dishes will not be much worse!
As for oil, not to mention animal oil, vegetable oil is also quite easy to get. The ancient method of oil extraction involves frying, crushing, squeezing, and oil.

However, when frying, the heat should also be mastered.

If it is too early, it will not be fried well, and there will be less oil and no taste.

If it is too late, it will be fried, and there will be less oil, and the oil will still be bitter.

Huo Shan doesn't do it on a large scale, just get some food for dinner. Moreover, the most indispensable thing in the Shaofu is resources and talents in various fields. Tell them the method. After research, they will definitely be able to come up with the best ratio plan. He has faith in these people.

.........

"Little plum!"

Huo Shan yelled, and just after he finished yelling, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuch ran over in small steps, and dozens of servants and maids around him, after Huo Shan's hard work for more than two months, they all knew each other.

Because Xiao Lizi was more festive and the youngest, so he was deeply impressed, and Huo Shan immediately thought of him.

"What's your order, little prince?"

"You go to the Shaofu to find the Shaofu Cheng, and say that I will come over later and ask him to call the officials of the three departments of Taiguan Ling, Daoguan Ling, and Examination Office Order. I have something to do later. Ask them to help, let's go!"

He hasn't taken office yet, so he just said to help, or else he was summoned directly. As for after he took office, where will the previous Shaofu go?
In fact, Shaofuqing has been vacant since last year. The last Shaofu was the Lieutenant Leopard whose author didn't know who it was. He was Shaofu Leopard last year...

If Huo Shan hadn't made a cross, this seat would have been vacant in Ling Nian, and Wang Wenshu would be sitting next year...

Another famous person!

"promise!"

After Xiao Lizi left, Huo Shan thought about it, and there was no problem.

Taiguan orders are in charge of meals, that is, in charge of cooking, and guide officials are in charge of rice selection, that is, the selection of grain and vegetables, and the selection of high-quality polished rice.

For the rest of the examination room order, mastering equipment making, these three are enough.

Speaking of the organization of the Shaofu, it is really complex and huge, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the head of the Nine Qings in this respect.

The biggest head is called Shaofuling or Shaofuqing, with two thousand shi in the rank salary, the highest salary except for the general and the prime minister.

In an ordinary mansion, one or two lieutenants under the boss's hands are enough to help deal with things, while the Shao Fuqing has six lieutenants under his hands, all of whom have a rank and salary ratio of one thousand shi.

And under these six ministers, there are 24 official ministers and three long ministers. Except for a few people such as Shang Shuling who are paid a thousand stones, they are all middle-level officials with a rank of six hundred stones.

These officials and ministers have a few hundred officials and servants under their hands, as many as three or four thousand, five or six thousand, and the most can exceed ten thousand.

If Huo Shan takes office, the number of people under his command will exceed one hundred thousand immediately.

This is not counting the Shanglin Shichi Supervisor, coin minting and other officials who have been assigned by the Shuiheng captain, and the salt, iron, wine and other officials who have been assigned by the Da Nong Order.

If these are counted, the middle-level officials under his hand jumped over 30, and the number of people under his hand is estimated to be over [-] to [-].

The Shaofu had always been called a small imperial court, and the Shaofu Qing was even called a small prime minister. Not only did he have a large number of people, but the resources in his hands were extremely huge.

If Da Nong Ling is the financial steward of the empire, then the Shaofu is the emperor's steward. He can not only collect taxes from the country's mountains, seas, pools, and lakes, but also collect part of the country's taxes.

Not only taxes, Shaofu also owns many handicraft workshops in various places to make money, and also rents out large tracts of land, all of which are royal property.

Adding up, the money earned in one year is less than that of the Da Nong Order, but no one spends the Shaofu's money except the royal family, and even the Shaofu's salary is issued by the Da Nong Order.

It is a question of whether the money collected by the Da Nong Order every year is enough to do one or two big things after the salary is paid, not to mention keeping the forbidden money in case of accidents, so Sang Hongyang is really powerful. Without him, The big man probably collapsed long ago.

Therefore, Shaofu's savings are much more than that of big farmers, but the most important thing is people's water balance. After all, people mint coins, but other resources are not as good as Shaofu.

If there is any major event in the country and the big farmers have insufficient money, they will usually withdraw from Shaofu and Shuiheng!

The size of the Shaofu can be seen, this is still the Shaofu after the power of the big head was divided, if it was the old Shaofu, it would be unimaginable.

However, the Shaofu lived very well in the dynasty of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing. Emperor Wen was extremely frugal. He heard that it would cost a thousand gold to build a terrace, so he quickly shouted: Forget it.

Although Emperor Jing was not as stingy as his father, he was quite frugal.

Today, the good times are over!
Who let them set up an emperor who spends money lavishly? The emperor wants to expand the palace, and the Shaofu pays for it. The government pays.

If the emperor wants to increase the rewards, the Shaofu still pays, and if the emperor wants to reduce or exempt the tax, the Shaofu still pays to make up for it.

It is estimated that in a few years, the Shaofu's money will be completely spent by Liu Che. The Shaofu, which was so rich in the past, not only cannot support the big farmers, but it is estimated that the big farmers will support them in turn.

After all, not to mention that the annual daily expenses of the royal family are 10,000 to [-] yuan. If another palace is built, [-]+ million yuan will be gone, and some taxes will be exempted, and tens of millions of dollars will be gone. It will be collected in a year Taxes are not enough to spend, and you have to spend a lot of money in deposits.

Even if you have no money, you will be scolded, no wonder the young mansion changes so often, the young mansion is really miserable...

However, Huo Shan just caught the tail of the peak. Liu Che's parade plan has only just started for a few years, and the Daxing Palace project has not yet started on a large scale, so large-scale spending has not yet started. The Shaofu is still very rich at this time.

.........

After Xiao Lizi left, Huo Shan took Sun Shang and walked slowly towards the Shaofu. He didn't ride a horse, and just halfway through, he met Xiao Lizi who was running back.

"Back to Xiaojunhou, the news servant has notified the Shaofu Cheng."

"Well, well done."

Huo Shan nodded in praise, and Xiao Lizi immediately smiled. He hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"Little Junhou, even those young ministers who heard that Xiaojunhou was going to go there seemed to be crazy..."

A look of astonishment appeared on Huo Shan's face, what is it like to be crazy?
"Tell me in detail."

Xiao Lizi scratched his head, a little confused:
"The servant can't tell, but they all seemed very excited when they heard that the little gentleman was going to go."

Huo Shan stopped and was a little speechless, it's as if you didn't say what you said.

Huo Shan scanned the surroundings, he didn't bring many people with him, he was hesitant to go, but Sun Shang who was beside him asked softly:

"Little Junhou, are you still going?"

Huo Shan gritted his teeth: "Go, why don't you go, they won't eat me up, how about it, just go and have a look."

A few people came to Shaofu's office in a short time. The Shaofu's office was different from the usual official residence, occupying a large area. After all, there were many and various workshops.

As soon as Huo Shan approached, he saw twenty or so people standing in front of the door, all of them had bronze seals and black ribbons, but this was a little hard to see, the thousand stones to four hundred stones were all copper seals and black ribbons!
Huo Shan looked at the clothes, all of them were officials with more than six hundred shi, and there were four or five thousand shi among them. These people saw Huo Shan's arrival, and the first few people immediately greeted him with bright eyes.

Huo Shan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a little uneasy.

"Shen Ning, Minister of the Young Master's Mansion!"

"Chen Shao's mansion and prime minister!"

"Chen Shao's mansion is the same night as the prime minister!"

"Young Minister's Mansion Prisoner Zhong Gan!"

"Chen Shao's Mansion Copper Chancellor Wang Wei!"

"Chen Shao's Mansion Examination Office..."

……

"Meet the little prince!"
