Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 350 The Revolutionary Household Reform ([-])

Up and down the household, the atmosphere has completely changed.

Check the accounts on the first day, and start to check the library on the second day.The busiest of the six departments is the household department.

Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were curious about what His Royal Highness King Qin was going to do.

Li Chengqian was called into the palace by Li Shimin for questioning, "Do you know what Yu'er meant?"

Li Chengqian said: "Because of the corruption of ink, there must be discrepancies in the deposits in the treasury. The second brother is planning to re-record the money and food in the treasury."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and continued to ask: "What else?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, "I don't know for now, we have to wait for the second brother's next move."

There are not enough people in the household department, so the official department comes to make up for it.

Li Fangchen didn't give Du Yan a chance to refuse at all. Except for a few officials who had to be retained, Li Fangchen pulled all the officials over to help.

Boxes of gold, silver and money are weighed, and loads of fine grain are carried.

It's okay if you don't check, but something really went wrong after checking.

In the Chang'an grain depot, the new grain is in front, the old grain is in the back, and there is still a lot, which has rotted and cannot be eaten at all.

In the granary, there are still rat shadows.

Li Fangchen fired all his firepower and asked Wang Gui to ask the court for orders. Among the sixteen guards, Zuo Xiaowei formed a team of thousands.

It takes seven days to move grain, exterminate rodents, and clean warehouses.

After the other party left, Li Fangchen ordered people to put the old grain in front and the new grain in the back, and sent people to make daily inspections.

Petty inspectors set up rules in advance, and the greedy ones hurt their families.

The warehouse was closed again, and the grain and grass in the warehouse also had a brand new number.

Thirty-one seventeen dan, to put it bluntly, is not enough for disaster relief in a disaster year!

There are countless granaries around Chang’an, and it’s enough to arrange for people to go and investigate carefully. If any problems are found, the local officials will hold them accountable. If there is no problem, the local officials will save their lives.

The most troublesome thing in the national treasury is not only the weighing of gold, silver and bronze, but also the treasures sent by other countries.

It took another two days to check the gift list again and sort out the important gifts from various countries.

During this period of time, the officials of the household department and the official department seemed to have become soldiers.

Following His Highness King Qin to fight everywhere, every seemingly tall and handsome "mountain" will eventually surrender under their feet.

After checking the last treasure, Li Fangchen showed a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, today there is a banquet in the royal palace, and none of you can be absent!"

Leaving aside the matter of the granary before, a smile finally appeared on the tired faces of all the officials just based on King Qin's words.

Are they waiting for His Highness's approval?
What's more, they even laughed out loud immediately, even they themselves couldn't believe that the work that was boring and even extremely heavy when it was mentioned on weekdays was actually finished now, and it was done very well.

At the banquet in Prince Qin's mansion, he was a little cautious at first, worried that his impoliteness would offend His Highness.When they actually arrived at the mansion, they realized that the King of Qin at this time was completely different from when he was in Hubu.

Treat people easily, without any anger, making people feel like a spring breeze.

"Wang Shangshu and Du Shangshu have worked hard. Especially Du Shangshu, and colleagues from the official department! My lord, a toast to everyone!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, please, Your Highness!"

After drinking for three rounds, some of them cried. It seems that they have never experienced the high-pressure work these days. Today, they actually have the pleasure of surviving after a catastrophe.

Tomorrow, Wang Gui is going to play the sage Bingming, and there are loopholes in the treasury and storage.

There are a large number of officials who were arrested earlier, and everyone present knows that they will be scolded at most this time, and they will not lose their positions.

No one would have thought that the national treasury, which was thought to be fine on weekdays, had long since become an existence full of loopholes.

The calculations some time ago did not match up at all. According to the rewritten account books, the treasury has 160 million guan, which is more than 700 million guan less than before, and the old accounts are not clear.

And storage is the most troublesome. Thousands of tons of refined grains have become foul-smelling, but no one has noticed.

By the side of King Qin, they don't have to pretend to be hypocritical in the officialdom.

Be angry when you should be angry, laugh when you should be angry, be a real person, and be a little more free and easy.

Will the household department be punished?

If so, they are not afraid.

What's so scary about them to this day?

Just like His Highness said, "Be worthy of your heart, and worthy of your people. Those who are officials should benefit one side, and those who do harm will surely be spit on by all people, resulting in a family without honor for a thousand years and without a monument for ten thousand years."

Li Fangchen raised his glass again, "I will make arrangements after Wang Shangshu comes down to court tomorrow. Please don't make me look bad at that time. I will give everyone a surprise during the Hungry Ghost Festival."

"For the great Tang, for the people, do it!"

At this moment, without Li Fangchen saying, they will continue to work with King Qin.

"Do you want to be a famous minister for a while, or a waste for a lifetime?"

"Do you ever remember why you studied hard for ten years and became an official?"

Not only from His Royal Highness King Qin's words of awakening the world, but also because of the Confucian character they learned from childhood, the arrogance of Tang people!
Sometimes when they stayed up late at night and couldn't go home, their eyes would be on His Highness Qin Wang who was working hard with them.

"Just kidding, you can't leave, why should I leave first!"

"Are you hungry? The king sent someone to buy the food from Deshanlou. Let's eat it first."

"If you are tired, go home early and rest, the king allows you to take a rest for a day!"

Exchange your sincerity for your sincerity, or use actions to express your mentality.The arrogance before, but the kindness now, King Qin used practical actions to let everyone understand his character.

The longer we spend together, the more friendly King Qin treats others. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, everything will look extremely beautiful.

King Qin is a good example. His words and deeds have long been sought after by countless literati in Chang'an, and his deeds are constantly being circulated among the people.

It is too simple for Li Fangchen to control a household department.

A soldier will counsel one, and a general will counsel a nest.

Li Fangchen is a wolf, and it is impossible for his subordinates to appear as sheep!
At the court meeting, Wang Gui turned the "sweat" of all the people in the household department into the mysterious words in the notebook, and turned His Highness King Qin's benevolence, righteousness and reason into the loud voice that was constantly uttered from his mouth.

After hearing this, Li Shimin was [-]% happy, [-]% emotional, and [-]% frightened.

"My national treasury has been ruined to this point?"

The words are a bit exaggerated. Compared with a few years ago, Datang State Treasury is completely rich.

But today's national treasury, right under Li Shimin's nose, has been taken advantage of.

Although Li Shimin was angry, he did not pursue any responsibility, and he did not even punish any officials of the household department.

All kinds of responsibilities before have already been borne by others, and now as long as they do a good job, Li Shimin will not hesitate to praise and reward them.

Seeing that Li Shimin's face was calm and did not change due to those things, Wang Gui breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time took out another folder and presented it.

He didn't read it aloud, and all the officials didn't know what it said in the book.

Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied after watching it, "I will consider it, and you step down."

"Yes!"

Returning to the household department with anxiety, Li Fangchen had been waiting for a long time.

"Next, we will reset the rules of the household department to establish what each official should do, what to do, as well as his daily official duties and monthly achievements!"

To put it bluntly, he wanted to make a performance appraisal plan and personnel management method that belonged exclusively to the household department.

Those who are capable go up and those who are mediocre go down. This is the eternal saying. Li Fangchen wants to make the entire household department look brand new with his own efforts.

This kind of thing, which is equivalent to re-establishing the law, naturally aroused Li Shimin's attention again.

Three days later, an excerpt titled "Code of Conduct for Household Officials" appeared in front of Li Shimin.

Without any hesitation, Li Shimin waved his hand, "Yes!"

What followed immediately opened Li Shimin's horizons completely.

Such as "Regulations on the Administration of Household Officials", "Three Non-violation Principles for Household Officials", "Promotion Mechanism for Household Officials", and "Punishment Measures for Household Officials".
There are more than ten copies, Li Shimin regards it as a treasure, and intends to use all six, but Wang Gui stops it.

"Your Majesty, this is from the Ministry of Households, not from the Sixth Ministry."

"Why, I want the six parts to share, why not?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness said that the rules are different, so the methods are naturally different. The Ministry of Finance has its own methods and rules, and the other ministries cannot follow suit completely, otherwise the six departments will become the Ministry of Accounting."

Being rejected, although he was unhappy, Li Shimin had no choice but to let it go.

"Let Yu'er enter the palace. The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs have been very tired these few days. I will allow you to rest and bathe for two days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Highness said that if Xiu Mu should arrange someone in advance to keep his hand, one of the old minister and the servant Liu Yiran must stay in the household department to ensure that the affairs of the household department will not be put on hold."

"In that case, I... allow you to make arrangements yourself!"

　What should I do if I have the motivation?
　　I was quite happy yesterday, thinking that my fingers are better, and I can add more explosions.

　　As a result, when I saw the monthly pass and the recommended ticket today, I felt completely chilled!
