Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 342; Distribution

This time, before it was Fang Qiao's turn to refute, Chen Hua, the Minister of Household Affairs, jumped out first.

Pointing at the ministers who insulted Fang Qiao, he said, "You are great. Even if you are capable, don't do business at home."

"Don't think that I don't know, your family does a lot of business."

"Why do you look down on businessmen? Don't do business yourself."

Just kidding, these post station changes and service stations are all good things that can help the court make money. He, the Minister of Household Affairs and the court's money bag, likes such things the most.

There were actually people who jumped out to oppose him, seeing that he didn't go all out and spray these bastards to pieces.

It has to be said that the moneybag boss Chen Hua is indeed very scary with all his firepower, and even Meng Xuancheng has to surrender.

In this way, under Chen Hua's angry outbursts and the financial threats from the Ministry of Revenue, no one in the civil and military circles in the court dared to say anything.

The joker Chen Hua is the one who controls the money expenditures of various departments in the court. He has just said that if his household department cannot get money, then his household department will not be able to get money out in the future.

The implication is that if any of you dare to continue to object, then if any of you need to get money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, don't blame him for having trouble wearing small shoes.

Sure enough, money is not everything, but there is nothing you can do without money.

The new policy was passed directly, and Emperor Zhaowu was also very happy, looking at Chen Hua with satisfaction.

"I never noticed before that Chen Hua is so powerful in combat."

After the end of the dynasty, Emperor Zhaowu was on his way back to the imperial study. He remembered the scene of Chen Hua's overwhelming fighting power and couldn't help but laugh. He tilted his head and teased Gao Fu next to him.

"Chen Hua Shangshu attaches great importance to making money in the Ministry of Revenue. Those ministers will naturally anger him if they don't let him make money."

"you're right."

Having been with Chen Hua for many years, Emperor Zhaowu naturally understood what kind of character Chen Hua was.

Not long after he arrived at the imperial study, Chen Hua asked for a meeting outside.

Emperor Zhaowu was quite enthusiastic about one of today's great heroes and directly asked Gao Fu to call him in.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, regarding the changes to the inn and the establishment of various service stations, which department do you plan to hand it over to the management?"

"Oh? Who does Chen Shangshu intend to hand it over to?"

Emperor Zhaowu asked with a half-smile, "Chen Hua came to ask at this time, who doesn't know what he is thinking?"
"I think the Ministry of Household Affairs is the most suitable one. After all, whether it is a post station or a service station, they will have to get their salary from the Ministry of Household Affairs. I don't think it is necessary to move around."

Seeing that he spoke so directly, Emperor Zhaowu smiled and said, "The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works are also interested in taking charge of this matter."

"Let's not talk about the Ministry of Personnel. Officials, large and small, are under their control. Whether it is a post station or a service station, since it belongs to the imperial agency, it must be arranged for officials to take charge. The Ministry of Personnel also has this intention."

"Next is the Ministry of Works. Over the years, the Ministry of Works has been weaker than other ministries, resulting in the Ministry of Works' talents becoming increasingly withered. I am determined to support the Ministry of Works and hope to take this opportunity to introduce some talents to the Ministry of Works."

The Ministry of Works was the famous Qingshui Yamen of the Yu Dynasty. Many officials in the court wanted to be promoted every year, but none of them took the initiative to go to the Ministry of Works. After all, after entering the Ministry of Industry, it is not easy to figure it out. After all, there is no one to take over the position. You can't leave this position vacant after you leave, right?
Therefore, many people would rather stay where they are without upgrading, rather than be promoted and enter the Ministry of Industry. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry has received some attention due to Huo Junyao, the owner of Princess Zhaode.

But in the eyes of those courtiers, the Ministry of Industry is already a department that cannot be promoted on the stage. Unless you can be a minister or minister, forget about other positions in the Ministry of Industry.

"It's okay if the Ministry of Industry comes to participate. Why should the Ministry of Civil Affairs follow suit? I don't agree to leave this matter to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"I think that since it is the renovation of the post station and the construction of a new service station, then the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works should each share one. This way, the Ministry of Household Affairs can get an extra income, and the same is true for the Ministry of Works. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu thought for a moment in silence. In fact, he had really thought about this matter carefully. Based on what he said above, he decided to give it directly to the Ministry of Works.

To make the Qingshui Yamen rich, the Ministry of Works also needs a lot of expenses every year. Although the Qingshui Yamen has little money, it has a lot of things to be responsible for.

Therefore, by directly allocating money to them, this will not only make the Ministry of Industry richer and attract more people to join the Ministry of Industry, but it will also be more convenient for them to spend some money on things, as they do not have to wait for approval from the Ministry of Household.

But now Chen Hua's proposal is not bad, especially Chen Hua, who spent a lot of effort in arguing with the ministers in the court over this matter, and now he comes to ask for advice.

If you don't give it to him, this old guy will probably make a scene. Thinking of his fighting power just now, Emperor Zhaowu is also a little afraid.

Meng Xuancheng has already given him a headache. If Chen Hua is added to the mix in the future, will he be able to survive this day?
So after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "The post station will be left to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Fang Qiao has the specific plan. Ask him for it, and you should hurry up and implement it. I want to see the results as soon as possible. If the results are No, I want to take it back."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

Chen Hua left happily and went to find Fang Qiao's plan for changing the station.

At the same time, Emperor Zhaowu also asked Gao Fu to call Huo Jingzhi and hand over the matter of service stations in various places to the Ministry of Works. He also said that if he didn't understand anything, he could ask Princess Zhaode about the girl's ideas. If there are more, it may help the service station to run faster and better.

When Huo Jingzhi got this job, he was confused for a moment at first, but soon he understood what Emperor Zhaowu meant.

This was intended to promote the Ministry of Works. As the Minister of Works, he was very aware of the embarrassing position of the Ministry of Works among all departments.

Those civil servants who are orderly scholars in the court not only look down on merchants, but they look down on merchants. Each of their families is doing something like merchants, and many of your friends are rich merchants.

So it's hard to comment.

But there is one group that they look down upon even more than merchants, and that is craftsmen.

Although they also look down on merchants, if they have money, even if they look down on them in their hearts, they will treat them as a favor for the sake of their money.

But what about the craftsmen? He basically didn't have much money or status, so they really looked down upon him.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry, as a gathering place for craftsmen, naturally became a place that these people looked down upon with prejudice.

Over time, the position of the Ministry of Industry became somewhat awkward.

It's not like Huo Jing has never thought about changes since he took office as Minister of Industry, but there really is no good way. Even if he wants to improve the treatment of Ministry of Industry officials, he will be opposed by the ministers.

Among the six ministries, why is the Ministry of Industry in such an awkward position? Firstly, it is because many people look down on craftsmen, and secondly, the salary of officials in the Ministry of Industry is 30% lower than that of officials in other departments.
