How could Zhan Shifu be short of silver to such a point, naturally because there was no oil and water. I don't know how many people are rushing to it, just say that the military department in charge of Xue Pan's uncle Wang Ziteng is almost in charge of the promotion and dismissal assessment of the middle and low-level military attaches in the world, etc., and the end is a high authority, and the military attachés who are waiting to see, elect officials, and report on their work are waiting for the military attachés in the military department to wait for the appointment, election and debriefing, and the military attachés who are waiting to be seen all year round have no end in the mean, which is even more exaggerated in the month of Layue, and at the end of the year, the military attachés who are preparing to hope that the chest supplement will be more advanced are simply too many to count. It is very terrible to drill camps everywhere, and even the generals and general soldiers from outside have touched the Lixiangyuan here, knowing that Xue Pan is the nephew of Da Sima, and he is also preparing to give gifts here, which is still a function of the Ministry of War, in addition to the responsibility of logistics and grass, and the expenses here are even more terrifying.

For example, the Sula who came to announce the order last time the ministry asked him to release the prefect, but he was afraid that he didn't want to go, but in a place like Zhan Shifu, what oil and water can there be, and what extra money can it have? What kind of ice respect, carbon respect, naturally not to mention, but this is an official unrighteous way, you can uncover the rules, you can do it secretly, but you can't say it clearly, Xue Pan is embarrassed to say it clearly, just said, "Naturally, there is too little silver." ”

"There's less there, Lord Xue," Governor Liu's eyes were red, "From July this year to now, I haven't sent a penny in the past six months!" ”

This is really a little surprising, Xue Pan knows that the Beijing officials have always been the poorest, unlike the local officials outside who still have a lot of income, most of them rely on the local officials to pay tribute when they enter Beijing, otherwise relying on that little money, it is really a little tight, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this Zhan Mansion is actually not oil and water, this is gone! And it's not that it's not a month or two, but it's been broken for more than half a year!

Xue Pan laughed dryly and looked at Zhu Zhanshi, "Lord Zhanshi, Governor Liu is joking, right?" ”

"It's not a joke," Zhu Zhanshi shook his head, "That's true." ”

"It should have been issued by the household department," Xue Panhu said suspiciously, "This silver is not too much, and there are not many people in our Zhan Mansion?" Then why did the household department say that it would not come? ”

"The household department said that because of the war in the southwest for many years, the treasury is empty, and all the officials in Beijing have to withhold the money for three months," Governor Liu said aggrievedly, "Because we have no errands in the Zhan Mansion, and we can't use much silver, so we are asked to endure for three more months, and then deduct us for another three months. ”

Xue Pan was a little unbelievable, how much money could Zhan Shifu have, and how much money could be made so brazenly say that there was no money in a country's Ministry of Finance and the household department of the money pile? This must have the meaning of making things difficult, Governor Liu is young in the end, and he couldn't help but get angry when he spoke, "It's not that those starters rely on our Zhan Mansion to have no errands, and the palace doesn't value it, so they practice us like this!" Even if it is counted up and down, how much silver can be used for a few months! It's a bully! Lord Zhu waited at the door of the duty room in Nalang Middle School for several days, and he was not allowed to enter to see him! It's really ...... to hold it up so much Ay! ”

Xue Pan saw that this Governor Liu was about thirty or forty years old, although the official robe on his body was not tattered, but it was indeed very old, his expression was sad, and he was obviously also worried about food and clothing, Zhu Zhanshi shook his head, "Our Zhan Mansion is not a day or two, it has always been like this, this official is used to it, Lord Xue," he looked at Xue Pan, "Do you know why this official wants to be here today, this temporary invitation to come?" ”

Xue Pan didn't want to know, but he could only nod, "Do you want me to ask the household department for silver?" ”

Zhu Zhanshi nodded, and shook his head again, "Yes and no." ”

"What does that mean?" Xue Pan said with a gloomy face, "It doesn't matter if the adults are in the household, if you want to help with other things, you can do it, but if you want to ask the household department for silver, I'm afraid you can't do it." ”

It has always been the most difficult to ask others for silver, let alone the household! The people of the household department are born with a high illusion, that is, you people ask us to go to the silver, it must be a waste, must not have spent the silver on the blade, so it is extremely hated that other yamen come to ask for silver, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, Xue Pan has dealt with the household department several times, but that is the relationship between the leader and the led, he, the imperial businessman, is the dual leader of the internal affairs government and the household department, if he is because of the Zhan Shifu, he ruined his business, this is absolutely impossible.

Zhu Zhanshi smiled slightly, obviously knowing what Xue Pan meant, "This is not a good thing, and there was no yamen who took this matter too seriously, but Governor Liu said so, so this official just said it by the way," Zhu Zhanshi sat down, still smiling, looking very cunning, "This official took the official of the sixth grade out this time, just thinking that he could recruit a real talent, and see if he could put our Zhan Mansion, which has been dilapidated for decades, Give it back to life. ”

Xue Pan was ready to be humble and said that he was just an incompetent person who really couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of your old man, and I was not modest, so I should ask for another master, but Zhu Zhanshi hurriedly said, "Lord Xue doesn't have to be modest, although I didn't know each other before, but I know that the adult elected the Zhan Mansion, and the official has already asked someone to collect all your things outside. Ordinary people can't do one thing in their lifetime, but Lord Xue, you can do it so easily. ”

Zhu Zhanshi looked at Xue Pan with blazing eyes, "Ever since I knew about Lord Xue, I knew that if Master Xue could come to this Zhan Mansion, this opportunity would come." ”

"Don't say that," although the good words sound really comfortable, Xue Pan didn't say that he was slapped to the point of being dizzy, "I really don't dare to be, what adults want to do, please just say it directly, if it can be done by the lower officials, then there must be no reason to shirk, if it can't be done, it can't be done in any way, this section still has to ask Lord Zhan Shi for forgiveness." ”
