Chapter 21 Stealing your family's business
Today's Great Jin Dynasty is a prosperous era, although a large part of the reason is to inherit the legacy of the Chengde Dynasty, so there is this situation, but it is undeniable that today's Taikang Dynasty is better than the Chengde Dynasty ten years ago.
Last year, that is, in the seventh year of Taikang, the imperial court earned more than 47 million yuan a year, which basically exceeded the peak of the Chengde Dynasty.
Because of this, Taikang Tianzi so simply allocated three million pieces of silver to the Ministry of War, and at the same time, because the treasury was full, the Ministry of Household would nod so happily and agree.
Although this money is less than one percent relative to the treasury income, but in fact this ratio is already very terrible, although the income of the imperial court is huge, but the imperial court also has things to do, thousands of things large and small every year, almost every piece of money, Taikang seven years of more than 47 million yuan, in addition to all the expenses, there is only a fraction left.
In other words, the money given to the military department this time used almost half of the balance of the entire Great Jin last year.
It can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, at least Taikang Tianzi himself, who attaches great importance to this matter.
At this juncture, these old men who are accustomed to sucking blood in the Ministry of War can't move the idea of the three million yuan no matter what, and since Li Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, promised the Son of Heaven to do this well, then he must do it beautifully.
In the past few years, although he doesn't ask much about things, he is essentially a military attache rather than a civilian official, if he is a civilian official, even if he achieves the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, he must go through the system of the Ministry of War to do this, and he has to succumb to some unspoken rules of the Ministry of War, but Li Xin does not need to, he can find someone from outside the Ministry of War and skip the Ministry of War to do this.
For example...... Yu Linwei.
It has been eight years since the eighteen-year Renchen Palace change in Chengde, and in these eight years, to be honest, Yu Linwei has been treated a lot of unfairly, for example, Yu Linwei no longer takes turns in the forbidden palace, and has become a security army similar to Jin Wuwei, and in the first year of Taikang to the third year of Taikang, the new emperor at that time wanted to start building Qianniuwei, and all the resources were inclined to Qianniuwei, so that Yulinwei did not update even one arrow or a piece of armor for three years.
This situation was alleviated only after Li Xin came back from the southwest and became the secretary of the military department, after all, this kind of army equipment had to be transferred from the military department, and Li Xin naturally could not watch his "descendants" suffer.
In addition, after the Renchen Palace Change, a large number of middle-level generals were promoted among Yu Linwei, scattered in various yamen in the capital, and later became the backbone, with their care, Yu Linwei's life will not be too miserable.
But no matter what you say, as a forbidden army, Yu Linwei has indeed lost His Majesty's trust.
It is an indisputable fact that the emperor is unwilling to use Yu Linwei.
However, at this juncture, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the matter of the Northern Expedition, and Li Xin only needs to say a word to the Son of Heaven, and seconding Yu Linwei is just a matter of one sentence.
In the entire capital, no one is more comfortable than him with Yu Linwei, and now half of all the generals of Yu Linwei from top to bottom are his old department, and the other half is the external forces that have slowly infiltrated Yu Linwei in the past eight years.
Today's Yulinwei two battalions, the Lang general of the left camp is still Li Xin's master Wang Zhong, but the Lang general of the right camp is Xie Dai, the son of the Xie clan in Shanyin, and if you calculate it carefully, it should be the cousin of today's Queen Xie.
Li Xin could have stopped these bullshit trivialities, but in the past few years, he has been too lazy to participate in politics, and he has not been too lazy to meddle in the small things within Yu Linwei, after all, if Yu Linwei has become a descendant, Yu Linwei's Yu Linlang may have a better life in the capital.
In the Yamen of the Ministry of War, in Shangshu's class, the old waiter, who was nearly seventy years old, looked at the suddenly powerful Lord Shangshu and fell into silence.
He bowed his head and said, "Li Shangshu, after all, you are the Shangshu of the Ministry of War......"
Li Xin nodded with a smile: "So I came to discuss with Xie Shilang, Xie Shilang should understand in his heart that I didn't have to come here originally." ”
"You can't take outsiders and grab the authority of the military department..."
Li Shangshu said with a smile: "To make it clear, only this once, what should you do in the future or what you should do, you should get rich and get rich, you should go to jail, it has nothing to do with me, the hand-shaking Shangshu." ”
Old Squire Xie sat in his original position and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, the old man sighed and said: "This matter should be done by the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, but Li Shangshu has the seal of the Ministry of War, you don't need to go through the Ministry of Treasury, you can directly write the approval of the Ministry of War, and you can also do things with the seal of the Ministry of War, since you have decided to do this, the old man has no right to ask......
The old man sighed deeply and got up from his seat.
"The lower official went down to do something."
Li Xin patted the old man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xie Shilang doesn't need to look like this, on the surface, this matter seems to be me, Shangshu, who robbed my family to buy and sell, but behind the scenes, it is my colleagues in the rescue department, your old man has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and many things should be able to be understood." ”
Li Xin skipped the military department and took this matter on himself, on the surface, it seemed that he wanted to eat alone and was unwilling to share the profits with his colleagues in the military department, but in fact, the emperor had already ventilated Li Xin, the secretary of the military department, so the people in the military department could no longer take money from the three million, otherwise the emperor would be unhappy.
Today's Taikang Tianzi is no longer the new monarch who sat on the throne eight years ago and was uneasy, he is the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty who has been on the throne for eight years!
If he is not happy, one of these people in the military department will be counted as one, and they will all have to go to the prison of the criminal department to stay.
Xie Jun is also an old minister who has been up and down in officialdom for many years, even if he didn't understand it, he naturally figured it out when Li Xin mentioned it like this, but the old man's expression was not relaxed, and he still had a sad face.
He exhaled deeply, and then said in a low voice: "Li Shangshu, you are still young, you can think like this when you want to do things, and you can do things like this, but the people below can't see so far, you tell them that there is a pit ahead, they won't believe it, they have to jump in by themselves to believe it." ”
"You forcibly beat them, dragged them by the head and threw them through this pit, these people will not remember your kindness, they will all point at your nose and scold your mother on the other side of the pit."
With that, this Xie Shilang stood up and walked outside.
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the back of this somewhat thin old man, and secretly sighed in his heart.
Xie Jun was right, he thought things were still a little idealistic.
But it doesn't matter.
Li Xin smiled at Xie Jun's back: "Boss, Li Xin doesn't care that they scold his mother behind his back, as long as he doesn't let me hear it in person, I just assume that they don't scold." ”
"As for what they think of me personally, it's even more worthless."
Li Dashangshu smiled.
"I inquired about the three million guan in the household department, and the people over there said that one million guan had been brought to the military department, and tomorrow, I will bring Yulin Wei to the military department to move money, and Xie Shilang will remember to cooperate when the time comes."
