Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 86 Yao Chong's Promotion
After the two of them recounted the old days, they had expressed their heartfelt heart, and it felt much more refreshing to have a friend who knew everything and talked about it than a person who had a lot of things in his heart.

Zhang Yang is also happy to live in the Princess Mansion, but he was born in a military academy, and he can't sit still.

But he said that after two months of checking the tax accounts, the results came out. It was three years of accounts. The work is done.

It is really the life of a cow and a horse. If it is arranged on the head of a certain son-in-law, it will take half a year for it to be done properly.

The evil feudal society, if you don't tire people to death, you will feel uncomfortable.

Di Renjie has been working overtime for a long time, and Song Jing is too tired to die, but these two people are congenial. If you don't rest, I won't rest. If you work overtime, I will follow. It depends on who has the longest time.

In the end, the two devoted themselves to the auditing business all the time except for the morning court once every ten days.

Liu Rengui is better, he can't be absent in the morning court.

Yao Chong arranged a lot of work for his subordinates, and his subordinates were forced to work overtime, and Yao Chongmei called it "capable people who work too hard".

On the one hand, the two leaders stayed up all night, and on the other hand, the boss led the subordinates to work overtime. Obviously, Yao Chong's methods were more clever.

But in terms of quality, Di Renjie must be better.

Accounts may seem trivial, but they are the foundation of a country.How much tax can be received this year, and how much property can be used next year, so as to live within one's means, and not increase taxes and go fishing in the swamp. Only then can a country be stable and the people survive.By reading these accounts, you can learn in detail the revenue and expenditure of each state and county, and whether the governors of each state are dedicated and capable.

Therefore, auditing accounts is actually a compulsory homework for high-ranking officials. The richer the state, the more important the words are, and the court will give priority to their suggestions.By checking the accounts, we can understand the distribution of these forces.

Those who have meritorious service will have corresponding power. This is inevitable, and it is also an important means for the ruler to maintain order.

Song Jing was raised up to this point by Shen Sanwen, and he was still grateful. He was exhausted watching this matter, and good days must be waiting for him later.

Shen Sanwen visited Song Jing for the second time.

Because it is impossible for this account to pass through his hands, it is a secret of the imperial court, and Di Renjie must not be flexible, so he came to Song Jing to try his luck.

Shen San asked: "Master Song, you have worked hard."

Song Jing: "Thank you son-in-law for your recommendation."

Shen San asked: "You're welcome. It's just that Mr. Shen has a few questions, and I hope you can answer them."

Song Jing: "Excuse me, my son-in-law."

Shen San asked: "Are there any capable people in the southern states? Is there a state that is not worthy of its name, and is clearly rich but has little taxation, or is obviously poor but has a lot of taxation?"

Song Jing hesitated for a moment: "There are a few capable people, and there are also two prefectures that don't deserve their names."

In two places, these states are the most prone to turmoil. One is to gather wealth and mercenaries to be self-respecting, and the other is to oppress the people, and the people are in dire straits.

Shen San asked: "Where are these two states?"

Song Jing told each other bluntly.

In the early dynasty, what we want to discuss today is the result of the current investigation.

Lai Junchen held a thick booklet in his hand, but it was just a list, and Shen Sanwen was shocked.

Today's theme must be to praise the four important ministers, and then correspond with Lai Junchen's verification results one by one.

Emperor Wu: "Now that the accounts have been checked and the treasury has been checked, do you have any memorials?"

Liu Rengui was the first to appear on the list, "I have checked the accounts of the northern states with Yao Chong, and the results of the account check, the list of discrepancies is here."

Liu Rengui handed over the death list he had prepared.

Di Renjie also came out, "I have checked with Song Jing in the northern states, there are three scholars with good political performance, and 31 people who need clarification of accounts. The list is here."

Di Renjie handed over his small notebook.

Lai Junchen calmly said, "The minister led 120 subordinates to investigate and deal with 70 corrupt officials in various prefectures, and 120 people who were related to them. The evidence of the crimes has been filed."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked. There are almost 200 people, can they be found out in two months?Are there so many people?Simply horrible.

Emperor Wu calmly looked at the list of three people. The 31 people given by Di Renjie and the list of Liu Rengui were mostly in Lai Junchen's booklet. Even one of the three recommended by him was on the list. This person must be Those who will not be hired, the other two, keep watching.

Emperor Wu first praised Lai Junchen, "Lai Aiqing is really the pillar of my dynasty. The revitalization of the country depends on the contribution of Lai Aiqing. He bestowed 3000 taels of silver."

Silver is small money, and this kind of face cannot be earned.

Lai Junchen's brochure, um, it can be regarded as further offending the aristocratic family, and it can also be regarded as providing a chance for the Martial Emperor, who has no shortage of young talents, to exchange blood. This kind of credit is by no means comparable to Liu Rengui and Di Renjie.

Emperor Wu: "Di Aiqing and Liu Aiqing have worked hard, and they will be given a three-day vacation. Yao Chong and Song Jing have made great contributions. Yao Chong was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. Song Jing rewarded 300 taels of silver and gave him a house."

Song Jing was not overwhelmed by flattery, but the gift of the house was too targeted, and Shen Sanwen's little heart skipped a beat secretly to show respect.

The speed of Yao Chong's promotion is unmatched. He is directly on the same level as Song Jing, and he has just finished handling the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then he went to the Ministry of War.

Shen Sanwen was speechless besides being speechless.This opponent is too strong, he wants to change to something simpler, now that Wu Sansi is the minister of the Ministry of War, can he suppress this capable minister under him?
The answer is, hold on.

Wu Sansi is not a reasonable master, in the face of absolute force, the wise ghost is useless, Wu Sansi happens to be not a reasonable master.

Yao Chong took office full of joy, and went home crying that day.

Wu Sansi is already a veteran in leading troops, and he is very good at learning the methods of the army, especially the method of training recruits.

In order for Yao Chongan to get a point, he deliberately added a new rule that the new chief of the Ministry of War must go through the training of recruits before taking office.The Ministry of War is in charge of the country's military registration, generals, military orders and weapons. If you don't understand the hard work of soldiers, neglecting military affairs will cause losses to the dynasty. Therefore, this training is added.

It was reasonable, so Yao Chong could only bear with it. After all, Wu Sansi was the leader of the Ministry of War, and the Emperor Wu also passed this rule.

After two months of hard work, Yao Chong's health has declined slightly. After all, it is not as easy as a certain son-in-law who travels around the mountains and rivers all day long.After a day of training, he no longer wanted to go to the Ministry of War. If he continued like this, he might die.

Yao Chong first went to Liu Rengui to complain, and then took Liu Rengui to Wuhuang's place to cry together, which was a terrible move.

Emperor Wu smiled calmly, "Ai Qing is serious, and it's a good intention to think twice, but I hope you can exercise more and maintain your physique, and there is no disrespect."

Yao Chong's expression is loveless, so it must be voluntary, the twisted melon is not sweet, Your Majesty.

Because of Liu Rengui's face, Emperor Wu granted Yao Chong a day off.
