Chapter 19: Confrontation with the Heads of the Household
With Qin Xia's shouting and questioning, Fu Shuxun's eyes gradually deepened, staring at Qin Xia, most of the momentum of the household minister was actually taken away by Qin Xia, and finally just asked: "Dangerous words and intimidation are to move people's hearts, you have a bit of argument in this columnist." Who are you? Why did you come, what are you capable of, and what plans can you plan with me? ”
Fu Shuxun said a word, and continued without stopping: "Don't say anything high-sounding to solve my trouble. The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. I want to know where you are, what you are trying to gain. ”
Qin Xia smiled, patted the account books on the wheelbarrow, groaned for a while, and then said: "There are big rats in the warehouse, and there is a lot of grain. ”
Subsequently, Qin Xia slowly told the story of the farmer digging voles and finding voles to store food.
"The Ming Dynasty has a major drawback, so that the scholars do not understand the daily affairs, respect the imperial examination, abandon the miscellaneous paths, and cut off the road to the rise of the officials. This move may be really good for the country, but it also sows the root cause of the failure of the government decree. Let the government be inseparable from the officials above the general affairs, for example, in the most critical and critical places, ten taxes are collected from the hands of the people, and only three points are finally collected into the treasury. The remaining seven points belonged to the hands of the officials, and through the hands of the officials, and then a little more points and Haoqiang, and three points and the eunuchs. ”
"I know that the great Si Nong is diligent and does not spare his own life. But Li Shiwen was dismissed at hand, and Da Si Nong should know that the matter of the household department only depends on the result for His Majesty, not on the process before Da Si Nong makes the result. The money for the aftermath of Songshan was used to consolidate the border defense, raise a new army, and reorganize the Beijing battalion. Everything means a steady stream of financial investment. And the pressure on the household department is by no means somewhat less than that at the time of Matsuyama. What's more, in March, when there was a shortage of green and yellow, it was even more difficult for the household department to raise food and wages. Even if Dasi Nong asks His Majesty to increase his salary by one million, and finally enters the account, can he get 100,000 taels? ”
"There are rats in the warehouse, and there is a lot of grain...... Fu Shuxun tasted countless meanings from these words. From Qin Xia's calm and unhurried conversation, I felt the strong self-confidence and accurate grasp of the current situation.
The image of a talented man with precise vision and unparalleled eloquence began to slowly take shape.
"It's a pity that it's a Xu official...... Fu Shuxun's heart of love for talent paused, and asked slowly, "These account books, are they your votes?" ”
Qin Xia shook his head slowly: "This is a stepping stone." ”
The implication is that this is not a refuge.
"How did you get the account book secret?" This was a very vague refusal to solicit, but Fu Shuxun was even more curious about Qin Xia.
Qin Xia smiled, and told the story of what had happened since he entered the household.
Rao is Fu Shuxun has been training Huan Hai for more than 40 years, and he is still shocked by the bold and crazy actions of Qin Xia in front of him.
When did the ** cunning and vicious Xu who was as vicious as a snake so easy to bully?
went undercover alone into the household department, took all the account books of the Yunnan Division one by one, and played with the Beijing Xu officials and the Zhejiang Xu officials in the palm of his hand.
Obviously, it's not that the officials are easy to bully. It's that this Qin Xia has the ability, heart, means, and vision, all of which are top-notch!
"It's a pity that I succumbed to a bureaucracy." Fu Shuxun sighed. But instead, Fu Shuxun became excited.
Isn't he just struggling with financial hardship all the time?
As Qin Xia said, taking these big rats and taking back some of the money that was embezzled in the past can naturally make up for a temporary use. Moreover, holding these slippery and difficult rats is more conducive to controlling the household!
Of course, the premise is that Qin Xia is indeed reliable, and in the battle between Qin Xia and Xu Yan, he can win!
Is it going forward or backward?
It was to choose Qin Xia and support Qin Xia's war against the household officials. Or throw out Qin Xia in exchange for the peace of the officials?
Wait a minute......
Fu Shuxun suddenly stared at Qin Xia with his eyebrows, and said with slight displeasure: "You missed two questions!" ”
"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. The world is crowded, all for profit. What Xiaosheng wants is naturally advantageous. And Xiaosheng's identity is naturally innocent. Otherwise, how could a scholar stoop to the rank of official? ”
After that, Qin Xia slightly took out a jade plate from his waist and approached it for Fu Shuxun to see.
Fu Shuxun's eyes were sharp, and he saw the iconic mark of the East Palace at a glance, and in the midst of the five claws and four dragons, a red character caught his eye.
"It's Donggong!" No wonder Qin Xia didn't answer this question until the end! Thinking of this, Fu Shuxun's heart suddenly sank.
If it is someone else, who dares to treat Fu Shuxun like this, I am afraid that Fu Shuxun will first be angry that he has been calculated, and he will definitely retaliate. But this person in front of him is not a bystander, but a prince!
But if it is the prince's intention, then the weight and impression of the two are completely different. Since it is the East Palace, throwing out such an opportunity is not a calculation, but a choice. A two-way street.
The prince chose Fu Shuxun as an ally, and it depended on whether Fu Shuxun would accept the offer.
"Out of this room. There will be no third person in this world who knows Xiaosheng's identity. Xiaosheng is just Qin Xia, the secretary of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Households. Qin Xia looked at Fu Shuxun and chuckled: "Da Si Nong has just entered the Beijing Division, I am afraid that I have not heard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince some time ago. But you should know that in this situation, everything is as reliable as a strong army. In this way, military affairs are the first priority for His Majesty at present, and in military affairs, military pay is the first priority. ”
"Xiaosheng's words today do not mean that anyone intends to persecute Da Si Nong. I only ask Dasi Nong to carefully consider the benefits and disadvantages. If it enters, the thousand thieves will point out, and the anger of the people will be unsettled, but it may reorganize the household and supply the financial plan. If he retreats, Xiaosheng will leave the account book incognito and no longer appear, and Dasi Nong can also please the officials with this, and he will not be harmed by half of it. In any case, whether it is advance or retreat is all in the mind of Da Si Nong. After Qin Xia said this, his eyes were warm, and his sincerity was overflowing.
When Fu Shuxun heard this, he closed his eyes slightly, thought about it for more than ten breaths, and then said: "Some time ago, I took up the new household department, and I wanted to try how deep the energy saving in the household department is. Therefore, with a little means, I picked up a less important account book for inspection. But unexpectedly......"
Speaking of which, Fu Shuxun will not go any further.
Except for the Yunnan Division, which was because he wanted to beat the newcomers, the other household subordinates actually copied the account books as they were, and even said that the review was completed, and there was even no trace of the review, and they directly stamped the big seal, and announced that the review was unhindered.
As a result, a fool knows that there is a cat.
However, in the face of such a result, Fu Shuxun had no choice. The difficult situation is the time to employ people, and dealing with a cadre at this time can only paralyze the household.
As a big farmer and the head of the most important department in the six departments, Fu Shuxun cherishes decency and majesty. As a second-class high-ranking official, why can't he help a group of officials, how can he be willing to give up this face when he says this?
Today, Qin Xia's appearance gave Fu Shuxun another choice.
