Jinyi champion

Chapter 581 Who Is the Minister of the Household Department?

The Zhu family is about to move the whole family south.

Before the old lady left, she was in a panic, but she didn't know where she lost... She still doesn't believe that her grandson, who just won the first prize, has the ability to punish Jinyiwei's Thousand Households?

"Mother, is Second Brother...can't go with us?"

Zhu Wanquan worked hard the most.

From Anlu to the capital, the impact on him is not small, and he will have to take the provincial examination in the coming year, and then he will go to Huguang again, and the back and forth is really unbearable.

Zhu Jiashi said: "He is now a hundred households of Jinyiwei, if you want to stay in the capital, you can follow you."

Zhu Wanquan shook his head: "Since the eldest brother Ren Suo has moved to Nanjing, we'd better go with him."

Jinyiwei is different from other yamen, it has offended too many people, especially Zhu Wanhong, a "family slave with three surnames" facing Qin Muchu. Moved to Nanjing with Zhu Wanhong.

Moreover, in the previous transfer order of Jin Yiwei, Zhu Wanhong was also ordered to bring his parents and relatives to Nanjing.

"It seems that the stable life of our Zhu family has come to an end."

Zhu Wanquan sighed in front of the old lady.

The reason for his remark is that the Zhu family originally existed to monitor Xing Wang's mansion. Now that a real dragon has emerged from the Xing Wang's mansion, it is fine if the Zhu family is not completely eradicated. The transfer to Nanjing is quite kind. I am afraid that the situation of the Zhu family will get worse in the future. bad hair.

Zhu Jiashi said coldly: "Isn't there still a third room?"

Zhu Wanquan looked at his mother in surprise, and asked puzzledly, "Can mother tolerate them?"

When your son and I are a fool?

Even though I was studying behind closed doors, I heard about Ni’s glorious achievements, so I ran to find trouble with the Sanfang people, and that’s why we were relocated to Nanjing.

Now say that Sanfang can save the Zhu family?

Why did you go early?
"We will come back sooner or later, the capital, and we don't know who will be in charge, just wait and see." After Zhu Jiashi finished speaking, he went to dispatch people to carry the boxes.

And the worst one was the old man Zhu Mingshan.

He was obviously sick and lying in bed, but he wanted to move his family south, so he had to carry him away.

Zhu Wanquan looked at his mother's slightly hunched back, and couldn't help shaking his head, knowing that his mother was used to being arrogant and arrogant, and now she couldn't do anything except speak harsh words.

……

……

Zhu Wanhong and the Zhu family were transferred to Nanjing, and Zhu Wanjian was sent to guard the imperial tomb. Zhu Hao no longer had to consider the threat from the Zhu family.

The business should still be done, and strive to open a few more bank accounts before the end of the year, and let my workshop produce more products by the way, the more money on hand, the better.

The selection of the new queen is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Candidates from all over the country gathered in the capital, and the first round of selection was basically over. Jiang Lun will not go to the Ministry of Rites to observe for the time being because of the beating incident.

The biggest headache for Zhu Si at the moment is the lack of food in the northwest.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the expenditure has been basically placed on the frontiers. In addition, after famous officials such as Wang Qiong and Yang Yiqing retired, the situation in the northwest became worse. If you want to appoint a three-sided governor to deter foreigners, you can't find a good candidate.

There are two candidates. One is Meng Feng, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment and the governor of Xuanda Sanguan Military Affairs.

There is also Li Yue, the governor of Shanxi.

In order to find a suitable candidate, the court argued several times. In fact, there was another candidate who was often mentioned, and that was Yang Yiqing, who was unemployed at home, but Yang Yiqing resolutely refused to obey the order. The Tartars continued to harass Shaanxi and other places, rather than waiting for Yang Yiqing to come, it is better to choose one of Meng Feng and Li Yue to take the top.

But Zhu Si didn't make a decision for a long time.

The problem is that he doesn't know the two candidates, so he can't be sure who is loyal to him. Zhu Hao's suggestion is the same. If you can't decide, just delay it. It is more important to solve the problem of food, grass and military pay first.

It is just that the problem of food and grass is a problem posed by Yang Tinghe's faction to the new emperor.

Zhu Hao probably knew why Yang Yiqing didn't want to serve the imperial edict, because he knew very well that he was not Yang Tinghe's person, and a clever woman could hardly cook without rice.

……

……

Zhu Si kept silent all the time, watching Yang Tinghe and his accomplices perform in the court hall.

Although Sun Jiao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, strictly adhered to neutrality, the problem was that if Sun Jiao wanted to transfer money and food to the three sides, he had to pass it in the court council. Sun Jiao had no right to make decisions on his own, and Zhu Si did not force the Ministry of Households to allocate money and grain to the northwest. , Sun Jiao is now in a dilemma and has a very headache.

Tang Yin went to visit Sun Jiao that day.

Sun Jiao thought that Tang Yin came to beg for money and food on behalf of the new emperor, and was so frightened that no one dared to see him. It was not until Tang Yin told the concierge that he came for the affairs of the Huangzhuang that Sun Jiao reluctantly saw him, but he was only entertaining guests in the side hall. As soon as they met, they made it clear that they would not discuss court affairs in private.

"Mr. Sun, are you worried that I will ask for money and food?"

Tang Yin was very free and easy, smiling at Sun Jiao.

Although Tang Yin was appointed to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he only met Sun Jiao a few times, and Tang Yin and Jiang Lun came to persuade him to become an official in the court before talking in detail. Now that Sun Jiao saw Tang Yin's way of speaking, he felt a little unhappy With a straight face, he said, "We won't talk about the northwest matter today."

Tang Yin smiled and shook his head: "Let's talk about it or not, His Majesty has already solved the problem, and the court is just a formality."

"Why?"

Sun Jiao clearly said that he would not talk about it, but when he heard Tang Yin say that the Northwest issue had been successfully resolved, he couldn't help being curious, and he was the first to mention it.

Tang Yin deliberately didn't say anything, and kept talking to Sun Jiao about the harvest of Huangzhuang.

Originally, it was enough for Sun Jiao to go to Qin Jin, the left servant of the household department, but the problem is that Qin Jin has been struggling with river control and disaster relief recently, and Tang Yin can only find Sun Jiao to deal with Huangzhuang. After all, most of Huangzhuang's income is now It should be transferred directly to the inner government.

Tang Yin talked for a long time. The central idea he wanted to express was that the harvest of autumn grain in Huangzhuang this year was not good. The expelled land was not watered and maintained in time, and it was considered stable after Tang Yin took over. However, the improvement in the harvest may not appear until the next year's summer grain harvest.

Sun Jiao asked: "Bohu, tell the truth, is your majesty planning to transfer money and food from the inner government to the northwest? I'm afraid it won't help."

Tang Yin said: "Mr. Sun, didn't you agree not to talk about court affairs?"

"Tsk tsk."

Sun Jiao was in a hurry, "This old man is the secretary of the household department, so you don't tell me about these things? Bohu, is it you or me in the household department?"

"Haha."

Tang Yin grinned happily, seeing Sun Jiao in such embarrassment, he was very happy, although he knew that this kind of happiness would make Sun Jiao feel that he was laughing.

It's pure provocation.

It took a while for Tang Yin to say seriously: "In fact, that's the case. His Majesty has arranged for people to go to the people to collect money and food, so as to make up for the lack of military pay on the three sides."

"what?"

Sun Jiao originally thought that the new emperor had some clever tricks.

Fundraising?

What about playing house?

Allocating from the inner government is not enough, how much money can you raise from the people?I'm afraid that in the end, only raising a few hundred taels of silver would be interesting.

Tang Yindao: "At present, it seems that the goal is almost accomplished."

Sun Jiao's breath was thick and uneven, and he asked angrily: "Bohu, did you do things like this when you were in the palace? Do you know how much money and food is missing in the Northwest? At least it costs [-] taels of silver. Previously, it was for the construction of temples. , He Gong, etc., just tens of thousands of taels of silver, let the court move up and down, don’t you think that thousands of taels of silver can solve the problem?”

Tang Yin saw that Sun Jiao was really in a hurry.

Because Sun Jiao knows that the Ministry of Households can't afford much money and food at all now. The key is that Emperor Zhengde is too good at building. Official salaries have not yet been issued.

Tang Yin said: "We have raised food, cloth, cash, money, etc., worth more than [-] taels."

"you……"

Sun Jiao suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at Tang Yin: "Bohu, do you know that this is no child's play, how can so much money and grain be raised through private fundraising?"

Tang Yin said solemnly: "Naturally, the inner government will transfer some of it, about [-] to [-] taels, and before the calculation in the court, the Ministry of Household Affairs will take out [-] taels of silver to transfer to the Northwest, totaling about [-] taels of silver. "

Sun Jiaodao: "Then where did the remaining [-] taels come from?"

Tang Yin continued: "Earlier, there was a merchant who paid more than [-] taels of silver at one time. As for the rest... please forgive me, Mr. Sun, I can't tell you. Anyway, Mr. Sun knows that there is such a thing... Now there are a large number of them. Grain is being transported to the northwest, so it will not delay the use of food in the northwest this winter."

Sun Jiao was stunned.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he actually didn't know the slightest about the imperial court's huge money and grain allocation?

But Tang Yin, as the head of the household department, was very clear about this, and he really answered his words, who is the secretary of the household department?
Sun Jiao asked for proof: "Bohu, tell the truth, did you really solve it, or was it a fool?"

"Haha, what is Mr. Sun talking about? Who dares to laugh at such things? Let's quickly hand over the affairs of the Huangzhuang official land, and I have other things to do." Tang Yin said with a smile.

Sun Jiaodao: "For the matchmaking, you can go to the yamen..."

"No!"

Tang Yin said in time, "You have to go through the accounts when you go to the Yamen, and they will go through the hands of Mr. Yang Ge. Whether the accounts can be handed over smoothly is up to you. It's better to check the accounts in private first. If there is no problem with the accounts, you can finish the handover in the courtroom."

According to Tang Yin's intention, the accounts should be verified clearly before the official handover, so that Sun Jiao, the head of the household department, can make sure that there is no problem.

If the match is made first, then Yang Tinghe will show up to find fault, and there will be many twists and turns out of thin air.

Sun Jiao frowned: "It seems that you are very experienced."

Tang Yin smiled wryly and shook his head: "I have dealt with people in the imperial court for a long time, so I naturally know the pros and cons... Elder Sun is in the court, and he must be restrained everywhere. When this year is over, the treasury can save some money and grain, and the situation in the coming year should be much better."
