Liu Chun came, not only did he come, but he also brought Yuxin, the head of the household.

The two happened to meet on the road, and Yu Xin followed.

"When it comes to accounts, I'm afraid no one in the world knows better than me."

Liu Chun bowed, "Brother Yu was the head of the household department in the Hongwu Dynasty, and now he has been in charge of the household department for many years, and it is true that the one who is most familiar with wealth in the Ming Dynasty is Brother Yu." ”

"Wrong!"

Yu Xin said with a smile: "Fu Guogong, when it comes to familiarity, I can only rank second. ”

Liu Chun was shocked, "You won't rank me first, will you?" ”

Yu Xin laughed, "Fu Guogong, I really forgot about you, so I can only rank third." ”

Liu Chun was dumbfounded, "Brother Yu is polite, let's talk about the original first person, you don't mean Your Majesty, right?" ”

Yu Xin stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Chun, laughing heartily, "Fuguo Gong, you are right, every account of the household department over the years has to be carefully verified by His Majesty, and I don't dare to decide the expenditure of every amount of money." This family is not easy to be! As he spoke, he took off his official hat, Liu Chun looked at it and found that Yu Xin's hair was already very thin, and the little that remained, tied together, was only the size of a walnut.

Don't worry about anything, it's not easy to manage money, especially when you are in charge of a country's finances! Liu Chun was very emotional, and Yu Xin said: "Fuguo Gong, I was imprisoned by the puppet emperor for two years, and my health is not as good as before, and I have barely maintained it recently. I plan that next year, when the official examination is completed and the grade is raised, I will resign and return to my hometown for retirement. A stall of this household department, just hand it over to Xia Yuanji! ”

Liu Chun groaned slightly, "Xia Yuanji is also very busy in charge of the Royal Bank, I'm afraid it won't work, right?" ”

Yu Xin waved his hand, "Don't say that, in this world, except for Your Majesty and the Auxiliary Kingdom, everyone is the same when they leave." In charge of a department, it is inevitable that the lights will be dark, and I am not as energetic as before now, and I am afraid of delaying the big event, I told the Auxiliary Guogong about this, just because I was afraid that the Auxiliary Guogong would keep it when the time came, and I couldn't go if I wanted to. ”

Metabolism is inevitable.

But the old friends are leaving, and Liu Chun's heart is not comfortable.

He has also been an official for more than ten years, and after three emperors, although he is still young, his heart is already old. If it was in the past, such things as tracking down the river yamen, Liu Chun must have done it himself and rushed to the forefront.

But now, he prefers to let Xie Jin's guy rush in front, and he is just responsible for the end. Just like many big bosses, they won't show up for the first time, maybe this is maturity!

Liu Chun arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry with a full stomach full of thoughts, and at this moment, Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was having a black face, and his hair stood up in anger.

"Auxiliary Guogong, my Ministry of Industry is also one of the six departments, a dignified second-class yamen, and an important place in the imperial court. Xie Jin is something, he also dares to break into the Ministry of Industry and seal our files. It's just too deceitful, I'm going to the Golden Palace to sue him, so that His Majesty will punish him severely! ”

Song Li shouted at the top of his throat, Liu Chun didn't speak, Yu Xin couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help but scold: "Song Shangshu, since the Duke of Fuguo is here, you are reasonable, you have something to say, how dare you spill with the Duke of Fuguo!" It just doesn't make sense! ”

Yu Xin is a senior, and after being said two words, he quickly restrained his attitude, bowed to Liu Chun and said: "Forgive me, the lower officials are confused, the lower officials are not selective, and the lower officials are guilty!" ”

Liu Chun just snorted, didn't say anything, and walked in.

At this moment, Xie Jin, Jin Chun, and Wu Zhong are all waiting here.

"Fuguo Gong is here!" Xie Jin worked hard to shrink his facial features, grow his mouth, squint his eyes, and let his smile flatter to the extreme.

Liu Chun didn't look at him at all, just stopped, and muttered: "You casually broke into the official office, the Ministry of Industry is already furious, if there is no solid evidence, no one can protect you!" ”

Xie Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, the lower officials are not sure and don't dare to come, please rest assured." ”

Liu Chun didn't say anything, but took a big stride and walked into the main hall, he didn't sit on the main seat, just found a chair to sit down, Yu Xin followed, and also sat next to Liu Chun, Song Li came in, this is embarrassing, where is he sitting?

"Song Shangshu, as the saying goes, flies don't bite eggs without sewing, since Bachelor Xie has come to the door, you should be generous, let him check, can't find anything, aren't you better to speak?"

Song Li was about to cry.

"I said Yu Shangshu, I can't say that, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are so busy, the new capital of Beiping is still under construction, this time the Tatars are destroyed, the nine important towns in the north must be adjusted, and all parts of the country will be revived, and the Ministry of Industry will also make efforts...... With these thousands of things, Xie Jin couldn't settle down for several days, I, I'm really anxious! ”

Yu Xin's face was also very dark, "Don't just talk about your grievances, as a courtier, you should understand the general situation, take the overall situation into account, and focus on the Ming Dynasty in everything, wait here!" ”

Song Li wanted to say something, but he didn't have the courage to sit down.

Liu Chun groaned slightly, it stands to reason that he, the auxiliary prince, rules the Jinyi Guard, is a high-ranking lord and powerful. Song Li should be more afraid of him, right?

But it seems that Yu Xin is much more majestic than him, and the two are both scholars, is there such a big difference? Or, Yu Xin's means are so good that he can deter hundreds of officials?

Liu Chun thought about it a little, and was relieved, there is nothing strange about it, after all, Yu Xin is in charge of the household department, he is in charge of the money bag, and the work of the Ministry of Industry depends on the face of the household department, and if people don't give you money, there is no way at all.

The so-called current officials are not as good as the current management,

It seems that he, the auxiliary prince, also has times when it doesn't work!

Liu Chun thought secretly.

At this moment, Xie Jin walked in from outside, holding a thick stack of official documents in his hand, his face was full of pride, and he stepped in front of Liu Chun.

"Fu Guogong, please look at this!"

Liu Chun waved his hand, "Yu Shangshu is also there, you can tell them directly." ”

Xie Jin had no choice but to turn his head and sneer at Song Li: "Last year, you spent an additional 300,000 taels to repair the eastern section of the canal, what is going on?" And say that there is no corruption, the evidence is conclusive, what do you have to say? ”

was questioned by Xie Jin in public, Song Li frowned, took the case file, took a closer look, and immediately laughed.

"Xie Jin, you really don't understand anything! What's going on with this money, naturally it has a real use, if you are not convinced, you can play Your Majesty, please Your Majesty to give a decree, I will naturally tell you, as for you...... Don't even deserve to ask me! ”

"You!" Xie Jin was furious, "Fu Guogong, you testify, this thing is so arrogant and bold, I will arrest him now and go to His Majesty to ask for guilt!" ”

Song Li twisted his head to the side and didn't speak at all, the meaning couldn't be clearer, if you dare to catch it, come on! You can't eat and walk around!

"Alas!"

Yu Xin sighed deeply and stood up slowly.

"Everyone is in the same dynasty as officials, just like taking a boat, why should they be so-for-tat with each other? Song Shangshu didn't want to talk about it, but the old man came to talk about it, and it just so happened that I also handled this matter. ”

Seeing that Yu Xin was angry, Song Li hurriedly said: "How dare you bother Yu Shangshu, let's say it!" ”

Song Li paused and talked about the whereabouts of the money, it turned out that Shandong could not recruit enough people due to the war and destruction, so the Ministry of Industry allocated 300,000 taels to hire people in the local area.

"You are talking nonsense, since you are employing people, why didn't I find out the list of the number of people you hire? I asked the officials of the Ministry of Works, but there were no hired people, so what happened? Xie Jin asked.

Yu Xin sighed, "Here's the thing, the household department also has projects in Shandong, mainly to build schools and build roads. The people who used it were recorded in the accounts of the household department. After all, the cost of employment together will be less, and the deployment of personnel will be convenient. I have already ordered the inventory to be handed over to the Ministry of Industry, and as for why it has not been entered into the account of the Ministry of Industry for a long time, I still have to ask Song Shangshu. ”

Song Li hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the negligence of the Ministry of Industry, I will be severely punished when I turn around!" ”

Xie Jin's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Is it enough to severely punish the people below?" I think you have a problem with this Shangshu. ”

Song Li couldn't bear it, "Xie Jin, if you are bent on dealing with me, just arrest people, how can I be afraid of you!" ”

They are going to quarrel again. Liu Chun stood up suddenly, "Okay, that's all for today." Xie Jin, you follow me to the Jinyi Guard Yamen. ”

After speaking, Liu Chun left quickly in front, Xie Jin's division was unfavorable, but he had no choice but to follow behind, and slipped to the Jinyi Wei Yamen.

It's just that he is still not convinced.

"Fu Guogong, you have to believe me, there is definitely something wrong with that Song Li, he is a corrupt official, as long as he investigates, he will definitely be able to find evidence of the crime."

Liu Chun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Xie Jin, I thought you had grown a lot, but I didn't expect that you were still a fool!" ”

Xie Jin was dumbfounded, "This, where did this come from?" ”

Liu Chun ignored him, but walked to the front of the table and opened the statistical file of Jinyiwei. Among the money that flowed to Shandong last year, there was no 300,000 taels of hired people.

"Xie Jin, do you understand?"

"Fu Guogong, this hired people do not have to rely on real money, sometimes they prefer some grain and cloth. The imperial court can also take the opportunity to throw some old sesame seeds and rotten grain. Yu Shangshu didn't spend gold or silver, so he hired a people's husband, which was his ability. ”

Liu Chun sneered, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Xie Jin, but immediately called Jinyiwei's people.

"If you go to Shandong immediately to inquire, you will ask the local people what the court hires people to give."

This hundred households immediately nodded, "Please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely find out." ”

He turned around and went down, Xie Jin reacted at this time, he walked up to Liu Chun in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "Fu Guogong, do you suspect Yu Xin?" He, isn't he your man? ”

Yoo Chun took a deep breath and didn't say anything.

Of course, he doesn't want Yu Xin to be implicated in the case, he hopes that these old friends can all die well, and they can all go down in history and become a generation of famous ministers.

It's just that Yu Xin's reaction really made him wonder, as a brocade guard, he couldn't let go of any doubts.

Check it, check it, check it out, and it's good to check it out.

Liu Chun thought that three days had passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Chun suddenly received the news.

The inn where Wu Baihu lived suddenly caught fire, and a total of 17 people, including Wu Baihu, were burned to death

The dignified brocade clothes and hundreds of households are gone!

Liu Chun's hand trembled slightly, and a drop of ink fell on the white rice paper...... Something is going to happen!
