In fact, in the past few years that Li Xin was not in the Ministry of War, Xie Jun was the secretary of the Ministry of War in the actual sense, so Li Xin came to the Ministry of War, and Qian Sheng came out to greet him, but Xie Jun Xie Shilang was not so anxious, and he was still working in the backyard.

However, Li Xin was his official after all, and after grinding for a while, Xie Jun still hurried over from the backyard and bowed to Li Xin: "I've seen Li Shangshu." ”

Li Xin glanced at Old Man Xie with a smile, and said with a smile: "Xie Shilang, this official has some things to discuss with you, please move to the official's room?" ”

The class room is the office, in fact, the officials of this era often say the word "off work".

Xie Jun was stunned, then lowered his head and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Li Xin turned his head and glared at the unreliable fat man, walked in front with his hands in his hands, and walked towards his class room.

Although he has not worked in the military department for a long time, he still has his office, and it is also the largest squad room in the entire military department.

After a while, Li Xin came to the door of his class room, pushed open the door and walked in, because there were people sprinkling and cleaning every day, this room was very tidy, and there were not many official documents, and the whole class room seemed extremely empty.

Li Xin sat on the main seat with a grin, pointed to a chair at the bottom of the head, and said with a smile: "Xie Shilang, please take a seat." ”

Xie Jun was also not polite, and sat down slowly.

"Li Shangshu called the officials over, I don't know what's going on?"

Li Xin knocked on the table with his hand, glanced up at Xie Jun, and then said with a smile: "If there is no mistake, the household department should have allocated three million yuan to our military department to add equipment and supplies to the Yunzhou army in Yunzhou City." ”

For the matter of the Northern Expedition, Taikang Tianzi was quite concerned, as soon as the Son of Heaven was concerned, the household department naturally followed suit, in fact, this morning, the "appropriation" of the household department had already come down.

Xie Jun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "There is such a thing, the above documents have been sent to the Ministry of War, and the lower officials are going to start handling it in the next few days." ”

Now there are four functions in the Ministry of War, and Xie Jun is in charge of the two most important functions of the Military Selection Department and the Treasury Department, which means that this time the matter is his business.

Li Xin showed a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry about this matter, Xie Shilang will hand it all over to me and let me deal with it." ”

Xie Jun's face changed slightly.

"Li Shangshu, this matter should be the matter of the Treasury Department, the lower officials have already arranged all the things, and Li Shangshu... After all, I am not familiar with the military department, this is not a trivial matter, Li Shangshu naturally has no problem supervising, but I am afraid that it will be ...... to take over rashly."

In fact, this Xie Shilang is not a person who contradicts the official, in fact, this old man has done a very good job in the past few years, so that the military department can be orderly without Shangshu, the reason why he rejected Li Xin so strongly on this issue, and even rebelled against the official, to put it bluntly, it is just two words: interests.

There's a big doorway here.

Although the household department has agreed to the 3 million yuan of household allocation, according to the rules, if you want the money to be in place as soon as possible, then the money that really goes to the military department cannot be so much.

After the less than 3 million yuan of money arrives at the military department, there will be another round of division, not to say how much everyone from the squire to the lang is greedy, after all, these accounts are all public accounts, and it is easy to be caught by being directly greedy for money.

Every penny will be spent, but where is it spent, how to spend it, there are many tricks that can be spent, even if this time it is purchased from the Imperial Wine Division and the Ordnance Superintendent, there is also a lot of oil and water to be fished.

For these specific things, the Ministry of War has a set of detailed procedures to go through, and a set of processes will go down, and the benefits that should be distributed will be distributed, and in the end, there will be no less things to give to the imperial court, but whether it is worth three million yuan is a matter of two words.

These are all benefits that have already been distributed, and the whole military department is gearing up because of these three million guan, but right now, Lord Shangshu, who doesn't come once a month, is about to take over this matter as soon as he opens his mouth, which makes Xie Jun a little unacceptable.

Xie Jun's attitude is simple.

It's okay if you want to split the money, but if you want to take the plate with it, it's impossible.

Li Xin glanced at the gray-haired old man with a smile.

"Xie Shilang, in the past few years, you should also know in your heart that Li Xin is not a person who likes power, otherwise I would not be able to leave such a huge military department alone, the filth in the military department, Li Xin also knows a little bit, how do you do things, I don't want to care, and I don't have the energy to care."

"But."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and said: "However, this time, the matter is different from the usual things, don't hide it from Xie Shangshu, this time His Majesty communicated with me in advance, and he explained that this matter should be handled well, and it should be done beautifully." ”

Xie Jun was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Li Shangshu, how do you know that we people will not do things more beautifully than you?" ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Because you will be greedy for money, I won't." ”

Xie Jun's face changed slightly, and finally spoke slowly.

"Li Shangshu, red mouth and white teeth......"

"Alright, alright."

Li Xin waved his hand at Old Man Xie, and said impatiently: "Xie Shilang, I only ask about the affairs of the Ministry of War this time, after this time, what should the Ministry of War do or what should it look like, Xie Shilang gave a clear word, to hand over or not to handover?" ”

The emperor explained to Li Xin and asked Li Xin to do this matter personally, that is to say, from beginning to end, there will be the Son of Heaven staring at this matter, and on weekdays, the military department takes some money, and anyone can pretend not to see it, but at this moment of the Northern Expedition, if the military department still does things like before, then it may really be taken out by the Taikang Tianzi and be the big rooster that shows the monkey.

This is probably the first time in history that the dignified scholar and his subordinates want power.

But there is no way, Li Xin did not work in the Ministry of War, he has the name of Shangshu, he has no way to make the machine of the Ministry of War run smoothly, even if he forcibly gives an order, he will be disobeyed by Yang Fengyin.

You have to go through Old Man Xie to control the military department.

Xie Jun was silent for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Li Shangshu, there is naturally no problem with the officials in this matter, but if Li Shangshu does not do well, I am afraid that the people below will not be willing to ......."

The meaning of this sentence is that if these three million Guan Li Xin do not give money to the people below, it will be difficult to do things well.

Li Xin smiled slightly.

"Then I won't go through the military department."

"The Imperial Wine Division and the Ordnance Superintendent, I will contact in the name of the Ministry of War, and I will send someone else to do the things that will be shipped, inspected, and sent to Northern Xinjiang later, and the Ministry of War will not interfere from beginning to end, what does Xie Shilang think?"

Xie Jun was stunned.

In the world, how can outsiders rob the book of their own yamen business?

Seeing that Xie Jun didn't speak, the Marquis of Jing'an thought that this old man didn't agree, he knocked on the table with his hand a little impatiently, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Shilang, this matter is a matter that Your Majesty is very concerned about, the military department can't do anything wrong, if you insist on messing around, the military department will be responsible for the rest of the matter, and I won't wipe your ass." ”

Xie Jun lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"Li Shangshu, there is naturally no problem with me nodding on this matter, but the people below may not all listen to me."

The Marquis of Jing'an knocked on the table with his hand and smiled.

"If they make trouble, I will naturally have a way to deal with them."
