Chapter 138 Special Finance Bureau, watching a good show

Bai Taiwei was brought into the government office.

Then two women took care of her, bathed her, and changed into moon-white women's clothes.

Then he was taken to the backyard of the government office.

Because of some of his own experiences, Bai Taiwei couldn't help but become nervous and have random thoughts.

'What are they taking me to do? '

'Is it the rebel leader who wants to see me? '

'Why did you choose the backyard of the government office? '

Bai Taiwei understood that although she could only be called excellent in terms of appearance, she could not be called stunning.But because of her temperament, it is easy for men who meet her to have wild imaginations.

'Could it be that the leader of the rebel army had already seen me, so he summoned me privately? '

Thinking this in his heart, Bai Taiwei couldn't help but frown.

Soon, Bai Taiwei saw Liu Sheng in the small backyard garden, who was looking through some books.

"Miss Bai, please take a seat." Liu Sheng greeted him with a smile.

This made Bai Taiwei even more vigilant, and he said, "I'll just stand here. Leader, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

Liu Sheng naturally didn't know that he had become the target of Bai Taiwei's vigilance for no apparent reason.

He called Bai Taiwei here purely because Xunfengying had found out the details of Bai Taiwei and made him think that this woman was a useful talent, so he invited her to talk.

Otherwise, he would be so busy and would not have time to meet an ordinary female prisoner, even if she has a good appearance and temperament.

Seeing that Bai Taiwei was unwilling to sit down, he didn't force him.

He said bluntly: "I know that Miss Bai was just a Kun Dao who traveled around the world and practiced medicine to help the world. She became the 'White Lotus Saint' only in the past few months. She is not a member of the White Lotus sect.

In addition, Ms. Bai's medical skills are really good, especially good at treating gynecological and pediatric diseases.

Our Chinese department is lacking good doctors like Miss Bai who are willing to save people, so I would like to ask Miss Bai to come to our Chinese department to take charge of medical matters. "

In fact, Liu Sheng not only took a fancy to Bai Taiwei's medical skills and kindness, but also took a fancy to her identity as a woman.

In Liu Sheng's plan, in the future Huabu will not only liberate women completely in line with future generations, but it will also liberate part of women's labor force.

Moreover, with the development of productivity and social changes, more and more jobs will appear that are more suitable for women.

Now that he has met a woman like Bai Taiwei, of course he wants to take her into his pocket.

In fact, Liu Sheng coveted Fu Qingzhu, a famous gynecological and pediatric doctor often mentioned in historical novels of the late Ming Dynasty and a rumored hero.

It's a pity that it is temporarily out of reach.

Finally, in addition to her female identity, Bai Taiwei's identity as the nominal leader of another rebel army will also give Liu Sheng and other senior officials of the Chinese Ministry of Natural Resources a natural trust in her.

Bai Taiwei was stunned on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng came to her for this reason.

It's not that her thoughts are inherently evil.

But since her master passed away, she lost her protection and traveled alone. Although she met some good people, most of the rich and high-ranking people were really greedy for her body.

A few people with good character just regarded her as an ordinary Kun Dao with good medical skills.

No one has ever so sincerely appreciated her actions of saving people and encouraged her to carry them forward.

It was also at this time that she realized that she had prejudged the leader of the rebel army who had captured Ruyang City.

Then she became nervous.

She solemnly made a Taoist salute to Liu Sheng and said, "Thank you very much, Chief Liu, for your kindness. I am afraid that my poor ability will make me embarrassed in my big job."

"You don't want to?" Liu Sheng was a little disappointed.

If Bai Taiwei doesn't want to, it's hard for him to force him.After all, we are letting people do things, and forcing them is ineffective.

Seeing that Liu Sheng had misunderstood what she meant, Bai Taiwei was a little anxious and quickly shook his head, "That's not what Pindao meant... I'm just worried that I don't have the ability to do the job."

Liu Sheng smiled after hearing this.

He found that the way Kun Dao was anxious to defend himself was a bit cute.

"Miss Bai, don't worry, just treat illnesses and save people as before.

It's just that now you have Huabu as your backing, and a group of doctors and apprentices will become your subordinates, allowing you to use your medical skills to save more people.

In the future, I will also look for other capable people to share this matter with you.Besides, this matter is not urgent. You can take your time and feel your way around. "

"Yes." Bai Taiwei responded, blushing slightly, and then asked, "I wonder if there is a name for what the leader wants Pindao to take charge of?"

The so-called title refers to the name of the organization, professional title, etc. Liu Sheng has already thought of it.

"Let's call the Medical Bureau. Miss Bai will take over the position of director for the time being. At the moment, you can recruit all the doctors and apprentices in Ruyang City.

If you need to purchase medicinal materials, you can go to Prince Chong's Mansion to apply for money from the Special Finance Bureau. As long as the reason is appropriate and the coming and going is clear, they will allocate funds. "

After capturing Ruyang City, it was impossible for Liu Sheng to maintain military control over the huge city.

Not to mention other aspects, if it is military control, just the daily purchase and distribution of rice and vegetables needed by the residents in the city will require a lot of people to handle it, and it may not be done well.

He can't be like ordinary rebels who don't care whether the people live or die.

So after three days of military control, he lifted the military control and allowed the people to trade and be self-sufficient as before.

Although this will give the enemy a chance to sneak into the city, it has to be done.

To manage such a big city, there are many things involved in money and food transactions and related accounts. The rebel army's original simple logistics personnel will definitely not be able to support it.

Besides, military affairs should not be mixed up with civil affairs.

Therefore, Liu Sheng simply gathered all the office clerks from the original government offices and county offices together and established the Ruyang Provisional Finance Bureau of Huabu.

Liu Sheng knew that many of these housekeepers and bookkeepers must have been corrupt and bribed, and some of them might have done evil things such as extortion and ruining people's families.But when Zhu Yuanzhang allowed corrupt officials to work in chains, he, Liu Sheng, could also get these people to work for him.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of manpower, so let them do their work; when the evil officials are punished, those who should beheaded and ransacked their homes will be beheaded.

You should be so ruthless towards these people.

Of course, Liu Sheng would not mind giving a person who had only committed minor corruption offenses and never done any serious evil a chance to reform.

As long as he doesn't engage in corruption while working in the Finance Bureau, he might be able to become a financial officer of the Chinese Department in the future.

In order to minimize corruption and facilitate the reconciliation of accounts, Liu Sheng also took time to teach the accountant (accounting room) of the Finance Bureau how to use double-entry bookkeeping.

At the same time, Liu Sheng gathered together the chief stewards of Prince Chong's Mansion who were responsible for money, food, accounts, and accounts below to establish a special financial bureau.

At present, he is only responsible for managing the money, food and other materials confiscated from Prince Chong's Mansion. Later, the money and food confiscated from large illegal households in the city will also be handed over to the Special Finance Bureau for management.

Therefore, it can actually be called a copy of the payment to the Finance Bureau.

If the money confiscated from Prince Chong's Mansion and the illegal households is not separated from the original money and food of the government, problems in urban management will not be discovered in time.

Just like Li Zicheng's army in history.

Massive wealth was obtained by killing feudal kings, big households, landlords, and wealthy businessmen, and the slogan "No food will be paid when the king comes" was indeed implemented for a period of time.

But when Li Zicheng entered the capital with hundreds of thousands of troops and took over the mess left by Chongzhen, he soon discovered that there was not enough money and food.

Therefore, Liu Zongmin's strategy of torture and robbery was adopted - in fact, he continued to obtain money and food by confiscating the money.

Directly before the decisive battle with the Qing army, all the gentry and landlords were pushed to the opposite side.

Although this behavior is related to Li Chuang's team developing too fast and lack of foundation.But it also has something to do with their habit of obtaining money and food through copying.

The most important thing is that they directly mix the tax revenue with the output and tax income under the rule, so that they are not aware of the loopholes in governance and the financial crisis.

By the time a financial crisis is discovered, it is often too late.

Therefore, the income from the transfer and the income from governance must be separated - the money and grain from the transfer can be used to supplement the needs of local governance, but there must be clear account transactions.

Bai Taiwei found that there were many new words in Liu Sheng's words, but she still understood the general meaning and immediately said "yes".

Liu Sheng added: "Since Miss Bai is temporarily acting as the director of the Medical Bureau of our Chinese Department, she must give priority to treating the wounded and sick soldiers of our Chinese Department.

In addition, the cold winter is coming and there are many hungry people outside the city. I am worried that the epidemic will spread. Miss Bai must also take this as a priority. "

Bai Taiwei nodded again, "I understand."

Immediately, Liu Sheng looked at his watch, smiled and said, "If Miss Bai doesn't need a rest, would you like to follow me to Xicai Market to watch a good show?"

Xicaishikou?

Bai Taiwei's heart moved after hearing this, and he remembered what he had experienced a few days ago.

He thought to himself: I don’t know who the leader wants to kill, don’t accuse the good ones unjustly.

So he responded: "I am willing to go there."

Liu Sheng stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Bai is not an official Taoist with ultimatums, right? Now that you have become the director of our Chinese Medical Bureau, don't call yourself a poor Taoist."

Bai Taiwei was not particularly insistent on his identity as a Taoist priest, so he said "yes" again when he heard this.

The entrance to Xicai Market was quite far away. Seeing that Bai Taiwei was fragile and had just been released from prison, Liu Sheng was worried that she would not be able to withstand the cold wind, so he called a carriage.

But he went there on horseback.

When Liu Sheng felt that at the entrance of Xicai Market, a lot of people had gathered here, but out of awe of the rebels, they all watched from a distance and did not dare to surround them tightly on the inside and outside.

It was still the temporary wooden platform that Fu Ru had built for others that day.

However, Fu Ruwei was no longer the person in charge of the trial, but became a person awaiting trial along with Wen Shiyi and other captured officials.

Seeing Liu Sheng coming over, Cheng Song, who was responsible for preparing the matter, came up to greet him.

"leader."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly and asked directly: "Are you ready?"

Cheng chanted: "All the captured officials from the government, county and other yamen are here, as well as the rebel officers and soldiers from Huben camp and two standing army camps, which are enough to maintain order."

"Then let's begin."

After speaking, Liu Sheng led Cheng Song, Bai Taiwei and others onto the wooden platform and sat down at the trial seat.

Immediately, Cheng Song came to the edge of the wooden platform with a stack of papers - he was presiding over today's trial, which was regarded as a kind of training for Liu Sheng.

"Fathers and fellow citizens of Ruyang, after our rebel army entered the city, everyone has seen what we did. It can be said that we have no offense against Minqiu.

Some officials in the Ming government had previously slandered us as monsters, which is really hateful.

Even so, our rebels captured these officials and were not prepared to kill them all indiscriminately.

There are bad officials and mediocre officials among them, but there are also good officials.Our rebels have mostly found out their details, and today they will be tried in public.

If a good official is wrongly convicted and a bad official is missed, the folks present can point it out.As long as the evidence is found, we will change the verdict. "

Hearing these words, the common people who were stopped ten steps away from the wooden platform by the rebel soldiers couldn't help but started talking——

"The rebels want to put those dog officers on trial? This is really great!"

"Why are we still interrogating? If you ask me, even if all these dog officials were beheaded, none of them would be found innocent!"

"You can't say that. Wenzhi County is a good official. He asked for a lot of food from King Chong to help the refugees."

"I think the person who should be killed the most is Fu Ruwei. In the two or three years since he took office, apart from raising taxes to make money, he has not done a single good thing for our people..."

Amidst the growing discussion among the people, Fu Ruwei, Wen Shiyi and others were brought to the wooden platform.

　Second more.

　　There is a wrong word in the chapter name, it should be "Special Finance Bureau".If you can't change it yourself, don't change it.
