Chapter 318: Busy

While waiting for the government, she invited the tiger girl to her home as a guest.

Hu Niu is undoubtedly a rectum, so she shook out the troubles in her stomach and said: "I want to help my brother find a lady, but my brother is always unwilling, and he didn't go home in the palace last night, and I now suspect that he deliberately avoided me, and he was annoyed to death."

Hearing the news, her heart couldn't help but pound, and then pretended to be calm and asked where Hu Niu was going just now.

The tiger girl is a big ghost, and she said as a matter of course: "Where else can I go?" Of course, I went to the palace to wait for my brother, I don't know if he will continue to hide in the palace, I am a little worried about my brother. ”

made an appointment for the next meeting, and in her field of vision, the tiger girl walked out of the alley in a hurry, and then disappeared at the mouth of the alley.

She is undoubtedly envious of the tiger girl, who can do whatever she wants, and can be free. On the other hand, although she has lived in Beijing for many years, she has nothing to go to, and there is no one who wants to wait.

It's just that some people are leisurely passing the time, but some people are busy enough.

After a young figure came in from Xiyuan, he went directly to Dongjiang Rice Lane and stepped into the door of the household.

Since Lin Haoran became Si Zhilang, it has been like a clockwork pendulum, and it can't be stopped at all. Although he can't be compared with Qin Cha, he is also regarded as the "special envoy" of the elder, so he can pass through it unimpeded.

In fact, during this time, he often went out of the house, and many people recognized his face, and he also received the envy and jealousy of his peers.

The head of the household, Shangshu Fang Blund, was preparing to taste tea in the duty room, and watched Lin Haoran come in from outside, so he asked the scribe to give the tea to Lin Haoran first, and then observed Lin Haoran's face.

Lin Haoran was also polite, although the weather was not hot, he was already a little thirsty, so he sat down and drank a sip of strong tea, and then looked at Fang Yu solemnly and said: "Lord Ministry, Yan Ge asked the subordinate officials to ask you, have you solved the matter of the officials?" ”

Information in this era is relatively closed, but some information is extraordinarily transparent. As rumored by the outside world, the household department has indeed run out of rice to cook, and it is not able to distribute the money of the Beijing officials.

"Last year, 200 stone of grain was transported, and the annual income was less than 3 million taels, but look at the expenses of the imperial court! If it weren't for the fact that the cabinet had to withdraw military funds to the Xuanfu last month, how could the household treasury be so far now! Fang Yu was also full of nagging, and immediately complained.

Lin Haoran also smiled bitterly in his heart, because of the Yang Shun case, the cabinet decided to make up for the military defense of the Xuan Mansion, so he pulled out a sum of money, which is undoubtedly a wise move.

Now Fang Yu is talking about this money, not to mention whether the allocation of a military fund will cause the treasury of the Ming Household Department to run out, Fang Yu is also looking for self-interest in blaming like this.

This cannot be the responsibility of the officials, how can the cabinet be able to bear it?

However, he was actually a messenger, and he put down the teacup and said solemnly: "Elder Yan Ge asked the subordinate to tell the lord of the ministry that he doesn't need any reason or excuse, he just wants to see a result!" ”

"Then you directly tell Yan Ge Lao that the household department has no money, and even half of the copper plate is gone!" Fang Yu immediately snorted coldly, posing as a dead pig who was not afraid of hot water.

Lin Haoran felt helpless, but he still had a good impression of this old Shangshu, knowing that this was actually an official who could do things, so he deliberately let him dissipate his anger, and then seriously persuaded: "Lord Ministry, this matter of stopping the issuance of officials is not trivial, and the Holy Lord also attaches great importance to it, so you can't find a way to move it from elsewhere?" ”

In his opinion, Fang Yu is the head of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be released, and he is definitely the primary responsible person. No matter how much you want to pass the buck, you have to find a way to get through this difficulty, or make a charter.

As soon as the words fell, as if a powder keg had been ignited, Fang Yu pointed to the ground and said loudly: "No? I've been moving since the first day I sat in this position! Jiangsu and Zhejiang need money to fight against the Japanese, the north needs money, the provinces need money for disaster relief, the construction of river embankments costs money, the clan's Lu rice costs money, the holy Taoist palace asks for money, and the three major halls of the Forbidden City need money...... At the age of our Daming, that is, I can last for so many years, and others will definitely not be able to open the pot for a long time! ”

The voice was a little loud, with a smell of gunpowder, which frightened the scribe who delivered the tea to tremble, put down the tea cup and hurriedly retired.

Lin Haoran could see that this old man was full of resentment, and he could be so justifiable, I was afraid that all these years could be regarded as a high level of hard work. But he knows that no one will talk to you about your past achievements, but only whether you can solve the actual problem.

Although his duty was only to pass on the word, he didn't want to really be just an errand runner, so he seriously persuaded: "Lord Ministry, forgive your official for being blunt, Yan Ge is afraid that he doesn't want to hear these words, please think twice." Let's see if you can think of other ways to solve the problem of Yulu, even if it is only a part of it, and let the lower officials have an explanation with Yan Ge Lao. ”

As an official of the Ming Dynasty, it is actually very sad.

The Ming Dynasty official salary is already the lowest in the previous dynasties, but at this point, the result is often in arrears. And Lin Haoran was even more unlucky to get home, and his first month as an official was very likely to have not received a penny.

"Not a penny!" Fang Yu immediately waved his hand, and then said angrily: "You just go back and tell Yan Ge Elder directly!" If you really want to solve the problem of the official, he should let you go to Yan Shifan, instead of coming to me, a poor bastard! ”

There was undoubtedly a lot of information in these words, and there was also a thorn in Yan Song.

Lin Haoran didn't know the meaning of his words, according to the experience of his previous life, he could be greedy for tens of millions of dollars to build a road in this township. Although Yan Shifan is only the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, he is actually the helmsman of the Ministry of Industry, and he has made a lot of money over the years.

It's just that he could only smile bitterly, and arched his hand towards Fang Dull and said: "Please also ask the lord of the ministry to forgive the sin, the old Yan Pavilion sent a subordinate to come and ask the household department how to solve the problem of Yulu, if the household department does not have a charter, I have to answer honestly and directly say no!" ”

The look of disappointment in Fang's blunt eyes flashed, but he said unwillingly: "What, what's wrong with the old man letting you bring this sentence?" Wu Weixiu, who is in the top three, dares to speak outrightly, you are from a dignified background, and there is a great Ming Wenkui plaque given by the Holy Emperor, why don't you even dare to say something that you don't like? ”

Lin Haoran was naturally not stunned, and said without humility or arrogance: "The lower officials also want to solve the problem, if the ministers have no countermeasures, the lower officials will go back to the cabinet to reply!" ”

Fang Yu glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, and suddenly wanted to slap the table and scold the street, who let this kid be the Si Zhilang. Compared to those stupid sheep in the past, this is simply a little fox.

He has been an official for many years, so he can naturally control his anger, watching this performance in vain, and his tricks have also encountered a soft wall, he took a sip of tea, and finally chose to compromise: "You go back and tell Yan Ge Lao, I will go to the cabinet to discuss this matter with him in a while!" ”

"Then the official has taken his leave!" When Lin Haoran got this reply, he got up and left.

Bringing this result back to the cabinet is undoubtedly much better than a direct veto and prevarication. At least when he returns to the cabinet, it is impossible for the three cabinet elders to find fault with him, but they will leave this kind of matter to him in the future.

Although this errand is very hard, Lin Haoran also enjoys it, as a kind of officialdom training.
