"It seems that I still underestimated the temptation of silver to these people, it was just a temptation, but I didn't expect that I would unintentionally insert willows, and it turned out to be a ...... of all the results."

Zhao Junchen sat in the office room of the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, looking at the secret letter in his hand, with a little surprise, and muttered to himself. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)

Not long after the Ministry of Industry changed its position, Zuo Lanshan had already sent someone to inform Zhao Junchen of the news, although the relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry had the intention to come to see Zhao Junchen in person, but they were afraid that Wen Guanliang would get the news and delay the big event, so in the end he only sent a cronie to send a secret letter to Zhao Junchen.

There are a lot of contents in the secret letter, in addition to expressing their admiration for Zhao Junchen and their dissatisfaction with Wen Guanliang, they also revealed all Wen Guanliang's next plans to Zhao Junchen.

Wen Guanliang's plan to deal with Zhao Junchen was actually very simple, that is, to let the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeach the accounts of the Ministry of Household for not being clear, and the Ministry of Industry also took the opportunity to make peace, saying that the Ministry of Household repeatedly used the excuse of insufficient money in the treasury to deduct all kinds of expenses of the Ministry of Industry, resulting in the delay of the Ministry of Industry's river defense, materials, city walls and other important matters, and then asked Emperor Deqing to rectify the Ministry of Household and audit the accounts.

If the Ministry of Household is the chief manager of the imperial court's money and grain, then the Ministry of Industry is the largest expenditure of money and grain in the imperial court, the two are in and out, closely related, the Ministry of Impeachment will cause shock to the government and the opposition, when the time comes, if there is a prince's party, the old Huang Yourong, the old Shen Changmao and others one after another, then even if the Deqing Emperor has the heart to favor Zhao Junchen, he has to issue an order to check the account department.

And once the household department is audited, the household department, which is originally Zhao Junchen's confined, will not allow Zhao Junchen to fully control it.

This is just Wen Guanliang's preliminary plan, as for what happens next, even Zuo Lanshan and they don't know.

But Zhao Junchen can imagine it, it is nothing more than to move some hands and feet when checking the accounts, or picking bones in eggs, in short, trying to find some faults, first involving some unimportant household officials, and then under coercion and temptation, slowly pull out the mouth, and finally point the finger at Zhao Junchen and drag Zhao Junchen into the water!

The method is very simple, but it is also very effective, throughout the ages, in the officialdom, this method has always been the most effective means for politicians to deal with political opponents, according to a later saying - "no official can withstand strict scrutiny, the key is only whether there is strict scrutiny."

In the final analysis, when the officialdom has reached a certain level, the key is to unite allies, isolate opponents, and unite vertically and horizontally, and as for methods and means, most of the time it is just a dispensable process.

Wen Guanliang understands this very well, so he plans to use the prince's party and unite the other two cabinet bosses, if he suddenly attacks, he may really be able to catch Zhao Junchen off guard.

It's a pity that when Wen Guanliang was busy with the vertical and horizontal, he didn't expect that there would be a fire in his backyard, and when Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Dongxiang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and Gu Quan, the right deputy of the Inspectorate, betrayed him one after another, his plan was doomed to die.

"However, this Wen Guanliang reminded me that the means of making accounts in the future of this household department also need to change."

Looking at the secret letter in front of him, Zhao Junchen thought secretly.

Nowadays, most of the accounting methods of the household department are very primitive, and they can only achieve equal income and expenditure, but it is difficult to stand up to scrutiny, and they are not afraid of ordinary audits, but if they are intentionally examined, they will inevitably reveal flaws. In Zhao Junchen's view, those "advanced accounting methods" of later generations can now be used as a reference for the household department.

In fact, since Zhao Junchen returned to Beijing, he has not embezzled silver taels from the household department, and he is completely a clean official, but unfortunately, although he is now on the beam, but the lower beam is too crooked, those Langzhong and Wailang in the household department are all greedy like wolves and regard money as life, and Zhao Junchen still needs these people to help him control the household for the time being, so he can only let these moths continue to save, and when necessary, Zhao Junchen has to find a way to help those moths wipe their buttocks clean.

Thinking like this, Zhao Junchen sighed secretly, in today's Ming Dynasty, there are not only few Qing officials, but also cannot be used by him, Zhao Junchen wants to make a difference, and now he can only rely on the power of those corrupt officials.

The only good thing is that the power of these corrupt officials is huge, far from being comparable to that of the clean officials.

"Come on, bring Jiang Qian to see me."

After making a decision, with Zhao Junchen shouting, the official of the household department outside the door agreed.

………

After Zhao Junchen returned to Beijing, Xiao Gui Cao followed and did not interfere much in the affairs of the household department, because Zhao Junchen had been familiar with the operation and rules of the household department during this time, and he did not intend to interfere at will as a matter of course.

During this period of time, the affairs of the household department have always been handled by Jiang Qian, a member of the staff, to help Zhao Junchen.

This Jiang Qian, as his name suggests, is humble and low-key, although he is still young, just in his early thirties, but he is familiar with the operation of the household department and is quite scheming. When Zhao Junchen first came to the household department, he deliberately flattered him, and in the process of Zhao Junchen controlling the household department, he made great contributions, so whether it was Zhao Junchen in the past or Zhao Junchen now, they all attached great importance to him and always deliberately wooed him.

Zhao Junchen doesn't think that this Jiang Qian is so loyal to himself, he took refuge in Zhao Junchen, he may not have the intention of speculation, but Zhao Junchen also believes that Jiang Qian will never betray him unless he has to, since he took refuge in Zhao Junchen, this Jiang Qian has been promoted from a small person from the seventh grade to the fifth grade, relying on Zhao Junchen's support, he speaks in the household department even more than those Lang, compared to Zhao Junchen, it is difficult for others to give him more benefits.

With Zhao Junchen's summons, Jiang Qian did not dare to slack off, and soon came to Zhao Junchen's office room.

"I've seen Lord Zhao."

After seeing Zhao Junchen, Jiang Qian's demeanor was extremely respectful, and he knelt down to greet Zhao Junchen.

Zhao Junchen raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

After Jiang Qian got up, Zhao Junchen looked up, but saw that Jiang Qian's face was becoming more and more pale, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This Jiang Qian, if you say that the biggest shortcoming of his body, I am afraid that he is lustful, these days, because of the relationship between the pancreas, the business of the Qinglou in the capital is very good, and Jiang Qian is one of the countless lingering customers of the Qinglou.

"You, you have to be more leisurely on weekdays, the color is a bone scraper, if you only care about a moment of pleasure and no moderation, you will be hollowed out of your body at a young age, it is not worth it."

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Jiang Qian looked up cautiously, and saw that Zhao Junchen was just smiling and scolding, and had no intention of reproaching, so he hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "What the lord said is that the lower officials will definitely follow your teachings in the future...... You also know that sometimes you can't control it, but the lower officials will never delay the business. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and didn't say anything more. In this era when Qinglou is legally preserved, some of Jiang Qian's actions are just private matters, and it is not worth making a fuss about not giving money after finishing the work.

Therefore, after Zhao Junchen mentioned a sentence, he was already to the point and asked: "How are you preparing for the pancreas supply auction in the afternoon?" ”

Jiang Qian hurriedly replied: "My lord, everything has been prepared, according to your instructions, the auction process, the relevant household officials are already familiar with the process, the venue manpower, the relevant procedures, there is no omission." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "That's good." ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "I called you this time, just to let you prepare, in the next few days, I plan to redo all the accounts of our household department, and make sure that people can't see the flaws." ”

Jiang Qian was taken aback, seemed to think of something, and asked, "Then Wen Guanliang, are you going to start with the accounts of our household department?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled and said, "You are keen. ”

Jiang Qian said with a respectful face: "Since your lordship and Wen Guanliang tore their faces, the lower officials have been secretly guarding against him, and the lower officials estimate that if Wen Guanliang wants to deal with the adults, I am afraid that he can only start from our household department, so he has been careful and vigilant, and please rest assured, our household accounts are clear, and nothing can be found." ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "Old Wen Ge, he doesn't have the ability to meddle in the affairs of our household department, I asked you to redo the accounts of the household department, just in case in the future." Nowadays, the means of making accounts in the household department are too crude, and they can only achieve a balance between expenditures, and everyone knows these means, if they have the intention to check carefully, they can always hide it. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Jiang Qian was puzzled.

According to Jiang Qian's understanding, the means of making accounts are nothing more than three methods: raising the expenditure of silver taels, increasing the loss of accounting, and falsely reporting the name of the expenditure, is there any other way?

Seeing Jiang Qian like this, Zhao Junchen smiled lightly, his expression became more serious, and explained some of the accounting methods of later generations to Jiang Qian in detail.

Regarding the methods of making false accounts in later generations, Zhao Junchen only understands the skin, so he can only talk about a rough idea, but even so, these ingenious and concealed methods have already made Jiang Qian stunned. For example, "early and postponement of income recognition", such as "change of income and expenditure", such as "selective apportionment", such as "deficit conversion", and so on, are all unheard of by Jiang Qian.

Although many of these methods were not suitable for use by the household in Jiang Qian's opinion, they still made him admire them again and again, and he only felt that they were wonderful.

If you follow Zhao Junchen's methods to do the accounts, it is conceivable that from now on, the household department can not only eat the grain in the name of justifiably, but also rationalize all kinds of deficits.

I have to say that Jiang Qian is indeed a talent in a certain aspect, and between Zhao Junchen's explanations, he only listened to them at first, but it didn't take long for him to be able to draw inferences and discuss with Zhao Junchen.

Even, some of the methods proposed by Zhao Junchen could not be implemented in the household department for various reasons, but Jiang Qian could also find a workaround to achieve it according to the actual situation.

After discussing with Jiang Qian for more than half an hour, seeing that Jiang Qian had mastered these methods and means, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, and did not say more, but ordered: "In this case, after you go down, you will select some trustworthy household officials, improve these methods, and then make new account books as much as possible." ”

After this discussion, Jiang Qian admired Zhao Junchen's methods to the extreme, his face was full of joy and excitement, and he nodded again and again: "Please rest assured, with these methods and means, our household department will not be afraid of anything from now on." ”

Zhao Junchen smiled lightly and said: "In this case, you can go down and prepare, and I will not participate in the auction of pancreas in the afternoon, and I will leave it to you to preside, this matter is related to my gambling contract with the prince, you have to pay attention." ”

Jiang Qian nodded again and again, and said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, the lower officials understand the importance and will never let the adults down." ”

While speaking, Jiang Qian saluted and took his leave.

Seeing the unbearable excitement on Jiang Qian's face when he left, Zhao Junchen couldn't help frowning slightly.

Of course, he knew why Jiang Qian was so excited, and after making accounts according to the methods taught to him by Zhao Junchen, from now on, no matter how much the officials of the household department moved the money of the ministry, they would not be afraid of being discovered.

can be unscrupulously greedy for ink and silver, for corrupt officials, is there anything that can make them happier?

"Am I encouraging the people below to be corrupt and pervert the law by doing this?" Zhao Junchen frowned, and secretly thought: "It seems that we must find a chance to beat them, otherwise this household department will not know what else will be messed up." ”

………

In the afternoon, Zhao Junchen did not personally participate in the auction of pancreas supplies, in fact, in the past two days, Zhao Junchen has been avoiding those merchants from all over the world who want to trade with him secretly.

But although he did not participate in person, Zhao Junchen has been secretly staring closely, and the result is also very satisfactory to Zhao Junchen.

In fact, not only Zhao Junchen was very satisfied, but all the household officials who participated in the auction were shocked by the fierce process and amazing results of the auction.

As a result, the auction reserve price of ordinary pancreas was 1,500 taels for a batch of 50,000 yuan, and the average transaction price was as high as 2,500 taels!

The auction reserve price is 1,800 taels and the average transaction price is as high as 3,200 taels.

The medicinal pancreas is a batch of 500 yuan, and the auction reserve price is 1,100 taels, and the average transaction price is as high as 2,100 taels.

In other words, in the next year, the pancreas made by Neiku sold for a total of 1,446,000 taels of silver!

If you put aside the manufacturing cost of pancreas, the net profit of these pancreas is no less than 800,000 taels!

For anyone nowadays, this amount of money is days!!

Including Emperor Deqing, the same!

Therefore, when Zhao Junchen learned the result, he hurriedly went to meet Emperor Deqing with a thick stack of silver tickets, and it is conceivable how happy Emperor Deqing would be.
