Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 75
A slip of account books was placed on Li Xian's desk, and two of them were particularly thick, one was for the Fisheries Department, the other was for the Catering Supervision Department, the two stores of the Fisheries Department had daily net profits after winter. Baiguan, even if there is only a general ledger in the animal husbandry supervisor and no details, at least one record is recorded every day. After two or three months, the number is very scary.

Of course, rather than scary, the accounts of the Food Supervision Department look more scary. After the tofu industry was fully developed in Guanzhong Prefecture and County, the daily sales volume reached [-] shi. Thousands of fat pigs are enough to eat, so there is no need to talk about profits. Moreover, the Supervision Department has not stopped expanding. Soon, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and the soy products branch factories of the Supervision Department will be built. , Food Supervision Department may become a national big yamen.

"This, this, why does the Fisheries Department and Food Supervision Department have such a huge profit?" Li Xian stuttered, looking at the final balance of the account book.

Sun Xiangfu was depressed. Looking at Li Xian like this, it was obvious that he hadn't checked the account book for several months, so don't expect him to be familiar with the new trends of the court, so Sun Xiangfu told him the situation here from the beginning. Li Xian was in a daze for a while.

"Nowadays, the Department of Fisheries can make a monthly profit of thousands of guan to the royal family, and the Department of Catering Supervision has reached a monthly profit of more than [-] guan, while the other three departments have not made any profit. My lord, do you think His Majesty will be happy?"

Send tens of thousands of guan to the palace every month. Of course, this is the case of shortage of ingredients in winter and business is easy to do. In summer, it is estimated that more than half will be lost. Then, on average for a year, 30 million guan is not lost. Sun Xiangfu has read the tax report of the imperial court, and knows that in the ninth year of Wude, the net tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty was only more than 200 million yuan. Now, the harem only needs to rely on the income of these two divisions to fully meet the expenses, and there is no need to hold back the imperial court.

Feeling that the matter was so sudden, Li Xian couldn't accept it a little bit, touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "However, how can the other three divisions make such a huge profit?"

"As long as the method is used correctly, it is also possible." Sun Xiangfu said with a confident look.

"Then, since you are so confident, Mr. Sun, I will order the chief officials of the Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Forestry to obey your orders and make sure to satisfy His Majesty." Li Xian seemed to have found a savior, and grabbed Sun Xiangfu's arm said.

"Uh, well then, since His Majesty ordered you to serve as the deputy supervisor of the animal husbandry, it is also your duty to guide the development of each department, so please call the chief officials of each department to discuss the matter!"

Just like the management of the fishery department and supervisory department, Sun Xiangfu's management method is to give business strategies and let his subordinates follow the strategies. Don't care about petty corruption, big numbers, and keep the core development secrets. At present, it seems that The low-level officials and small officials in the early Tang Dynasty were fairly reliable, and they were very dedicated in their work.

After a while, the chief officer of the third division arrived. In fact, including Sun Xiangfu, who was in charge of the second division, all the seal officials in Huangzhuang were present. Sun Xiangfu was naturally ranked lower than Li Xian. Whether it is the chief officers of the two divisions or the deputy supervisor of Zhongmu, the supervisors of the other three divisions have nothing to say about this ranking. After Li Xian announced that each division will take orders from Sun Xiangfu, the faces of the chief officers of each division immediately changed. changed.

"It seems that the corruption problem of your third division is very serious!"

Sun Xiangfu's first words after Li Xian's announcement made the fat on the bodies of the three supervisors tremble with fright. Corruption is something that people generally don't talk about holding back their shells. Anyway, everyone is greedy. The boss, Li Xian, doesn't like to be in charge, so naturally he can be greedy for as much as he wants, but Sun Xiangfu is different. This guy has handed over tens of thousands of guan to the harem in a month, and he is just a grain of white rice among a pile of chaff Now, the empress and empress must believe in him more than Li Xian.

"Master Sun, why did you say that!" said Zhang Yi, the supervisor of the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Then why don't I check the accounts of your Agriculture Department first?" Sun Xiangfu glanced at Zhang Yidao indifferently.

"This······"

"The word 'this' has an allusion. When I first went to court, there was a Master Cui who liked 'this'. Later, he spurted blood, and now he is recuperating at home! Could it be that Master Zhang also wants to learn from it? Which Master Cui?"

The things in the court may not spread to the common people, but there are still many people in the official circle, especially Cui Shixun, a son of a top family with seven clans and five surnames, was vomited blood in front of a farmer who was born in a boyish manner. Things, this is explosive news, and the officials don't know about it!

But it happened that this kid caused such a big disaster, and he survived without incident. Pei Ji, No. 1 in the civil service team, also shared a large part of the pressure on him. Therefore, in the circle of officials, Sun Xiangfu has been labeled as not to be provoked, unless you are an official of the seven clans and five surnames, but Zhang Yi is what?Obviously not, how could the officials of the seven sects and five surnames be Li Shimin's retainers!
Therefore, he didn't dare to say a word when he was blocked by Sun Xiangfu's words. He just lowered his head and waited for Sun Xiangfu's next words.

"Sirs, you can rest assured that I will not investigate your accounts, because I know that you are not clean. If I investigate you, it will only expose all the problems, and it will not do me any good. I will not take you away. The right, because this official, like Mr. Li, is too lazy to take care of things."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, he looked at Li Xian and rubbed his nose in embarrassment, saying that Li Xian was lazy. Anyway, Li Xian came to the yamen to sleep every day, waiting for the orders of the palace at any time. Sun Xiangfu said that Li Xian was lazy, but he couldn't stand it at all.

Zhang Yi and the other three breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. Among them, Zhao Muchun from the Forestry Department asked Sun Xiangfu, "Then, Mr. Sun, are we going as usual?"

"Still as usual? As usual, you should go home and farm. Your Majesty has already spoken. The Agriculture Department, the Animal Husbandry Department, and the Forestry Department must make a profit after the spring of next year." Since these three people know that the items produced by the royal fiefdom can If they sell it, then Sun Xiangfu will not be polite to them.

"However, without your Tao Zhu Zhineng, Mr. Sun, how can we make our company profitable?" asked Mu Yangqiu, the animal husbandry secretary who had been silent all this time.

"No, I told you to wait here to teach you how to grow hair."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, the faces of Zhang Yi and the others became eager instantly, and they said flatteringly, "If I get Master Sun's advice, I will be very grateful. I don't know what trick Master Sun has for us?"

"Then let's be honest about your shortfall first! I want to know in detail what resources you have and how much is short in your account."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Zhang Yi, the supervisor of the agricultural department with the greatest real power, became uneasy first, and said coyly, "The agricultural department has 17 mu of fertile land, and 42 seed and grain warehouses. , There is no disaster in Guanzhong this year. According to the usual calculations in previous years, 12 shi of grain should have been collected. Excluding the food for the farmers and the supply for the palace, there should be [-] shi of grain remaining in the account. About [-] shi of grain."

"Short of more than 7 shi? Mr. Zhang, you are so brave! This is a huge corruption case involving tens of thousands. It seems that I can't save you." Sun Xiangfu was stunned when he heard this.

This shortfall is too big to make up for, and news of a possible drought in the coming year has already spread wildly in Chang'an, and food prices have started to rise slowly, so the cost of making up for this shortfall is also increasing, [-] When the stone grain was harvested in autumn, it was originally worth less than [-] guan, but now it may cost [-] guan, or even [-] guan to make up for it.

"Uh, it's not that I lost money in a year, it's accumulated over the years. In fact, I only have a few thousand stones here." Zhang Yi explained.

"Why didn't you report it earlier?" Sun Xiangfu asked depressedly.

But Zhang Yi didn't answer, and looked at Li Xian. Obviously, the morning paper is useless. Every year, thousands of stones of grain are collected from the Department of Agriculture and sold to share the account. It is Li Xian's default, and he also divides the bulk. As long as he doesn't change his role as the middle priest, everyone will know it.

"I remember, doesn't your Agriculture Department only have [-] mu of farmland?" Sun Xiangfu thought about it and asked carefully.

"That was when the Supreme Emperor was in power. Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, the farmland of King Qin's Mansion was merged with the farmland of Huangzhuang, and some were confiscated from the former prince and King Qi. Although His Majesty rewarded some of them, there are still 17 mu is on the account, but in fact, there may be about 20 mu. The Agriculture Department has organized households to open up a lot of new fields in the past two years, but they have not reported it.”

"The part of Xintian's output has also been collected by you!"

Zhang Yi didn't speak in embarrassment, and Sun Xiangfu knew it was definitely true, and asked again, "Then how many households are there under the jurisdiction of your Agriculture Department?"

"Uh, [-] households, with a population of more than [-], and more than [-] strong men." Zhang Yi reported truthfully.

However, Sun Xiangfu knows from the data reported by Xiong Tingzhong that each household in Huangzhuang may cultivate 120 mu of land. What about households?

Zhang Yi looked at Sun Xiangfu looking at him with suspicious eyes, and knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said truthfully, "The actual population in charge of farming is less than [-] households, and the remaining population of more than [-] households has been allocated to the various palaces. Handyman, this way you can get some benefits and save a lot of rations."

Zhang Yi is a typical example of the big corruption of small officials in the Tang Dynasty. Sun Xiangfu didn't want to wipe his ass for such scum, but he was even more afraid of getting hurt, so he said, "I don't care what method you use. Before spring plowing, let the All [-] households have returned to their own Zhuangzi to prepare, otherwise even the gods will not be able to save you, let alone me."

After finishing speaking, Sun Xiangfu looked at Zhao Muchun and Yang Qiu and said, "Where are you?"

　It turns out that the recommendation of the best products is just a small word, so the effect is easy to say, please recommend it, bookmark it, and you won’t ask for it every day in the future.
