Need for a Guard

There is nothing worse in the world than this.

Huo Mei stabbed down without hurting the enemy, but pierced his own face bloody. There was really nothing to say about the grievance in his heart.

Similarly, Shi Yue's words stunned all the ministers.

Xiao Yan, Tian Fen, Cheng Ye, Zhao Shuo and others have always thought that Shi Yue's aggressive actions to build Gewuyuan are firstly for fame and secondly for gaining financial power, which is equivalent to attracting huge tax banks to invest in Gewuyuan, and then Shi Yue took control of Gewuyuan , which is equivalent to indirectly controlling tens of millions of huge silver.

From this, they could seize Shi Yue's shortcoming and deal a fatal blow.

But now they suddenly realized that the establishment of the Gewuyuan was done with their own money and efforts, and they did not take a single penny from the treasury. Once the day came, the establishment of the Gewuyuan became a private matter and had nothing to do with Xiao Yan, Tian Fen, and Cheng Ye. There is absolutely no excuse for blocking.

Moreover, Xiao Yan, Zeng Shan, and others were also amazed——Shi Yue didn't take money from the treasury, where did the tens of millions of silver come from?It's impossible to create something out of nothing, right?

Thinking of Shi Yue's ability to raise money like this, Xiao Yan felt terrified: This guy is really brave.

But after thinking about it, I was a little confused. Can this guy really make money by setting up Gewuyuan?In case of compensation to those creditors, can't they eat dead stones?

Why do those creditors trust Shi Yue so much?

Yanjing was already annoyed by Huo Mei, and snorted coldly: "Huo Mei, knowing what you know is knowing, what you don't know is not knowing! You have superficial knowledge and understanding of Gewuyuan, so don't make fun of me here. I don’t understand, with your talents, how did you manage to become a university scholar? Could it be that a scholar who reads to the end is just reading his brain stupid?”

Huo Mei's heart was on fire, and she hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am also worried about state affairs, so I made rash remarks, and I ask the emperor to appease his anger."

Yanjing waved her hand impatiently: "You step back."

Huo Mei saw how powerful Shi Yue was, and really didn't want to be the first bird. Even though Xiao Yan kept winking at him, he didn't dare to speak anymore—***, Baldy Xiao, do you think I'm a mad dog?If I fart indiscriminately and make a fool of myself in public, the little emperor will get angry, and by excuse, maybe he will fuck my bachelor, so I won't be cannon fodder for you.

When Xiao Yan saw it, he had no choice but to go to battle in person and said: "Your Majesty, the study of Gewu is the foundation of building a country. This statement is true, and I agree with it very much. Moreover, Princess Chuyu raised tens of millions of silver taels to set up the Gewu Academy. The deputy envoy's great help is all for the sake of the country, and to promote miscellaneous learning for the people, which is worthy of admiration, but some things need to be figured out gradually, so don't be too hasty! For example..."

Xiao Yan winked at Tian Fen, and Tian Fen immediately took out the joint letter written by the talented scholars of the Imperial College, handed it to Sanmao and handed it to Yan Jing, and said with emotion: "The talented scholars of the Imperial College headed by Huang Wen agreed that the Gewuyuan Those students who are illiterate and have not been tempered, but have been approved by the Ministry of Rites, issued certificates, and treated the same as the Imperial College, are a blasphemy and irony to their ten years of hard study. If things go on like this, who will go to school? It's an accusation of blood and tears, please the emperor clearly investigate!"

Zeng Shan said: "Students are in high spirits. Although people's knowledge is a bit narrow, what they said is true. Please consider carefully, Your Majesty, so as not to chill the students' hearts."

Zhao Shuo hastily stepped forward: "The emperor please check clearly, the talents of the Imperial College are the future humerus of Dayan, and we must pay attention to them."

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister agrees..."

……

A group of veteran officials of Xiao Yan began to confine themselves to the palace again.

"This……"

Yanjing hadn't communicated with Shi Yue beforehand, so she panicked for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it. Seeing them, she also got angry, winked at Shi Yue, and said, "Vice Envoy Shi, what can you say?"

Shi Yue pretended to think about it for a while, and said: "What Prime Minister Xiao said is not unreasonable! It's really a bit strange for these vulgar and miscellaneous craftsmen from Gewuyuan to be at the same level as the students of Guozijian, and the Ministry of Rites will issue approval documents and archive them as evidence. I'm sorry, if it were me, I'm afraid I also have an opinion."

Xiao Yan, Tian Fen and others were shocked immediately.

what's the situation?

What kind of tricks is Shi Yue playing to deny himself?Is he playing some conspiracy, or is he retreating?

While Tian Fen was hesitating, Shi Yue asked Tian Fen in a 'show of weakness': "Vice Minister Tian, ​​you can only take care of the approval of the Gewu Academy. .”

When Tian Fen heard that Shi Yue was showing weakness, his suspicions disappeared, and his aura became stronger instead, "Fushi Shi, there are priorities, and we have to figure them out gradually. How can it be done overnight? Establishing the Gewuyuan is good, but it can't be overdone. Urgent, it caused backlash from Guozijian students! I don’t think the Ministry of Rites can approve this matter, so let’s put it on hold for now and resolve it slowly in the future.”

He is going to push [-] to push this matter to the ground, thinking that you, Shi Yue, are you not a cow?Now that the Gewuyuan has been built, those craftsmen have also come here. Now the Gewuyuan is yellow, not to mention losing money, and losing people, causing countless people to poke your back, and those creditors will also blame you. See How can you, Shi Yue, clean up this mess.

Shi Yue looked at Zeng Shan again in a 'pitiful' way: "Shang Shu Zeng, you are always quick-witted, please find a way to accommodate it."

Zeng Shan shook his head and smiled: "This matter is under the jurisdiction of Vice Minister Tian, ​​and I agree with Vice Minister Tian's opinion to put it on hold for now, Vice Minister Shi, you can find another way."

Yan Jing was in a hurry: ***, isn't this going to be a scandal?

Shi Yue hurriedly urged: "Shangshu Zeng, Deputy Minister Tian, ​​it seems that the Ministry of Rites is determined not to issue an approval document to the Gewu Academy?"

Zeng Shan and Tian Fen said at the same time: "No!"

Shi Yue laughed loudly: "I also have the same idea. The approval document of Gewuyuan should be issued by the Ministry of Industry. What does your Ministry of Rites care about? This is a great kindness!"

Shi Yue walked around and finally revealed the real burden.

"what?"

Xiao Yan, Zeng Shan, and Tian Fen suddenly realized that they had been fooled, thinking that the Ministry of Industry had really given the approval, wouldn't that be equivalent to controlling all Gewuyuan in Shi Yue's hands?

Tian Fen was anxious, and asked anxiously: "Ministry of Industry? Why does the Ministry of Industry issue approval documents to Gewuyuan?"

Shi Yue asked rhetorically: "Let's not say that the Ministry of Rites does not agree to issue an approval document to Gewuyuan. Even if it agrees, what qualifications does the Ministry of Rites have?"

Tian Fen asked back: "Why is the Ministry of Rites not qualified?"

Shi Yue said loudly: "There are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, the Ritual System Cleansing Officials Division, which is in charge of ceremonies, military ceremonies, and academic affairs, and imperial examinations; Etiquette and reception of foreign guests; clean up official affairs with fine meals, and hold banquets and feasts for livestock and livestock! relation?"

"This..." Tian Fen was silent when he waited. In fact, he hadn't even studied the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites thoroughly, so how could he follow Shi Yue's words.

Zeng Shan immediately asked Shi Yue, "You said that the Ministry of Rites is not qualified, so does the Ministry of Industry have the qualifications?"

"Shangshu Zeng is right, the Ministry of Industry has this qualification!"

Shi Yue said: "Although the Ministry of Industry ranks at the end of the six departments, it is far from being comparable to the Ministry of Rites, but it has four divisions under it. , in charge of weights and measures and casting money; Dushui Qingli Department, in charge of estimating and writing off project costs, in charge of manufacturing imperial edicts, official books, etc.; Tuntian Qingli Department, in charge of mausoleum repairs and write-off expenses, receiving materials and part of taxes. In addition to the four departments, there are also manufacturing warehouses, which are in charge of manufacturing emperor's vehicles, book boxes, treasure boxes, ceremonial guards, sacrificial vessels, etc.; Jieshen warehouse, which is in charge of receiving and receiving funds; and material estimation office, which is in charge of estimating the number of materials and auditing, supplying and selling various altars in the capital. Temples, palaces, city walls, government offices of various ministries and other projects.”

"In short, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, farming, water conservancy, transportation and other government orders. Means you can't eat with your mouth, but with your belly button?"

Xiao Yan, Zeng Shan, Tian Fen, and Cheng Ye were all dumbfounded.
