There is no such thing as Zhang Xiaobao next.

Li Longji asked the officials to discuss how to spend the money.

After the autumn harvest in most areas, those who pay grain pay their grain, and those who pay taxes pay their taxes.

The grain collected by the local government is first stored locally, and then the cost and demand are verified according to the needs of each locality, and the unified allocation is carried out to reduce the loss in the transportation process.

The money is deposited directly into the bank, and the local ** needs to use the money to send a telegram to the officials above, according to different regions, different levels of the upper, middle and lower levels, and the local government is allowed to leave a little private money.

In case of an extraordinary emergency, the local government can temporarily make interest-free loans to the bank, and the bank will supervise whether the money is used for special purposes.

In this way, the data will be counted very quickly, and it will not be until the end of the year, the accounts of the imperial court's financial revenue are almost clear, and the remaining income for a period of time before the end of the year will be counted again at the beginning of the year.

Originally, some officials thought that there was no need for a second count, saying that there was one or two months left, and after the autumn harvest period, the impact would not be great.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan resolutely disagreed, giving the local government a two-month blank period, and the funds could not be deposited in the bank, and the two-month free capital turnover period was too terrifying.

At the same time, before the Chinese New Year, consumption will increase in a geometric form, and taxes will naturally not be less.

Li Longji said to the various officials and Zhang Xiaobao, there was no need to bother to choose, and the matter of the second count was decided.

Today's pilgrimage is just about spending money.

Li Longji asked the departments what they wanted to do in the coming year and how much money they needed, and then ...... Then instead of giving you money right away, you have to conduct an audit first, maybe this is the reason why some officials hate Zhang Xiaobao.

Before the audit, Li Longji had to get a general idea of the situation.

Looking at the officials of the provinces and ministries below arguing and wanting to share more money, Li Longji was in a very comfortable mood.

Wang Hui, the head of the household department, looked much better, at least the household department had an extra income of more than 130 million yuan this year, and he was confident, and when he saw the emperor coming over, he always nodded, indicating that there was no pressure.

Because the money for scientific and technological research in the Ministry of Industry is not paid by the user, the remaining office expenses are drizzled, oh, it should be said that it is a drop in the bucket.

And Zhang Zhong may not care about himself, other people's sons can think of a trick casually, and the funds will come out.

The officials are still arguing, and now the number of departments under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and the local government is gradually increasing, and when doing things, there will always be artificial overlap of functions.

For example, the household department, in charge of money, but the criminal department also has a subordinate office dedicated to economic cases, if the official commits an economic case, the ministry can also come in, and even the Dali Temple and the Yushitai have to intervene, and the Zhongshu order may skip the direct department and issue a document to be held accountable.

Officials know that the imperial court has money, but they have to pass the audit, normally speaking, the audit department of the imperial court can audit it, and the money bank cannot inquire about the details of the direct appropriation, the imperial court will give it, and the local government will mention it, and you will be done with the money.

But the money earned in the money bank is called by the emperor, and Zhang Xiaobao is always responsible, so he may not let people check it? If you find out the problem, can the emperor not ask?

That is to say, the court auditors were bribed, but they could not bribe the head of the bank, resulting in a situation where the auditors did not dare to accept bribes.

At the moment, officials are fighting for places with overlapping functions, and they want to grab the right to speak, so as to get more allocations, as for whether there will be a situation where the special funds are not earmarked, and what will be scored.

Don't dare to do big things related to people's livelihood, small things can always be, embezzle a small part here, squeeze out a little there, and have more money at hand.

"Noisy, noisy, you know noisy, noisy, I see who wins the quarrel and gets more money, who I will target, eh? The Ministry of Rites wants money for office supplies? Didn't you give a new batch last year? ”

Xiaobei was still hungry, annoyed by the noise below, leaned on the edge of the chair and muttered, and suddenly heard the words of a loud official who was not far away, puzzled.

Li Longji was in a happy mood, and saw Zhang Zhong talking quietly with Xiaobao and Juan Juan there, and when he heard Xiaobei's voice, he reached out his arm, hugged Xiaobei to the side and sat down, and whispered to Xiaobei: "Your father is busy talking to your brother, it's okay to sit for a while." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, I'm really tired of standing, I haven't eaten yet, I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm thinking about how to deal with officials."

Xiaobei shrank her body as far down as possible, the armrests of the chair were high, she could hide the position of her eyes, she couldn't see her father, and she felt that her father shouldn't be able to see herself, as for the swaying calves and her hair with a lot of jewelry, it didn't matter.

Li Longji couldn't help laughing: "It's really hard, what will you eat for a while?" ”

Xiaobei clicked his mouth twice: "Let's eat porridge, my sister said, my brother vomited blood yesterday, and then with a dish of shrimp sauce made in Luzhou, ...... staple food?" What's the matter, don't bother the people in the kitchen, the porridge has to be prepared more, and my brother can't eat hard things yet. ”

"Who was angry and vomited blood?" Li Longji really doesn't know, no one broke into the palace to report last night.

"I don't know, it's supposed to be an explosion, right? When I woke up in the morning, I heard someone say that the Ministry of Industry had exploded and flew up into a large fire ball, and some people were injured. Xiaobei shook his head, and was also very concerned about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

Speaking of the Ministry of Industry, she heard the people from the Ministry of Rites talking about the money for office utensils with the people next to her, and turned her head and asked Li Longji: "Uncle Emperor, I remember that you renovated each ministry once last year, and my family also sent office supplies to the Ministry of Rites, why do you still need money?" Send him one more time? ”

Li Longji patted Xiaobei's head and explained to her: "What he wants is money, not things, the so-called office products, and he doesn't dare to directly lift the table and chairs, so he says that it is a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, as well as paper clips, tacks and thumbtacks."

There are also all kinds of ceremonial supplies in the Ministry of Rites, all of which are worn and consumed, give them money, they will buy it themselves, you give him something, how does he spend it? ”

"Huh?" Xiaobei had never heard his brother and sister say such things, and he couldn't understand why he had to spend money to buy it himself.

"Don't you understand?" Li Longji asked, and did not wait for Xiaobei to answer, and continued to explain: "If you spend your own money, the price can be a little more expensive, and the seller's profit will be reduced by a part, and he can ...... the extra part." ”

"Corruption? Yes! That's smart, wait for me. Xiaobei jumped down and ran, went to his brother's side, said a few words and came back, first looked at his father with caution, saw that his father did not look at him, and climbed back into the chair.

Facing Li Longji's gaze, he said: "I asked my brother just now, and my brother said that he knew that because of the lack of money, he didn't care, if he really wanted to manage it, it would be simple, just unify the procurement, add a regulatory department, and it's over."

But even then, even then, the effect is not great, there is always a way to obtain benefits, and it will give too much power to those who unify procurement and supervision.

But if bidding is used, it can still play a certain role, my brother said that he didn't have time to manage, let me think more about it myself, and then discuss it with Xiaoyuan. ”

Li Longji's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaobao, saw that Xiaobao was still talking to his father there, and then looked back at Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi replied to a look at my righteous son on this ability, how big his ability is, just look at the way to know, talk to his father, my sister went to ask, and then the idea came out and coaxed my sister to stop.

"What my brother said no?" Becky asked.

"Okay, it's too good, after eating, I'll talk to the minister, although as long as someone takes care of it, it will be profitable, but it's more convenient to manage a small number of people than to manage a group of people, save money, please eat sugar."

Li Longji really plans to do so, don't look at Xiaobao casually, it is also worth a thousand dollars.

Xiaobei smiled and blinked: "Okay, I want to eat the toffee from the baby candy house, as well as candied fruit." ”

"Baby candy house? Where? Li Longji also followed Xiaobei's example and blinked his eyes.

"Does Zhuangyuanlou know? The flagship store of Baby Candy House rented a small room below, indicating that it is a very powerful business, and in the future, the branches will be all over all the prosperous places in Datang, which operate all kinds of children's candy, and the slogan is 'champion, start from the child'.

It also handles the membership system, there are often activities, gifts of exquisite toys, good product quality, and ...... price Reasonably priced and beautifully packaged, it is a great gift for friends and family. ”

Xiao Bei's eyebrows fluttered and introduced, it was really a treasure.

Li Longji made an interested look and asked, "I wonder if adults and old people can eat it?" When you take your child to buy candy, you can't let your child eat it by himself, and the adults will watch it, right? ”

"Huh?" Xiaobei was stunned, and after a while, after saying 'wait for me a little longer', he ran to the back, got together with Xiaoyuan and others, and discussed in a whisper, chirping very lively.

Listening to the quarrel below that had not shown the slightest sign of stopping, Li Longji closed his eyes and rested for a while, and Xiaobei ran back.

smiled at Li Longji first, and then said: "I'll go and tell them what to eat for a while, let them eat the same as me, and they all agreed." ”

"That's good." Li Longji bowed his head.

"Uncle Emperor, where did you say before? Oh~! I remembered, I said it was adults and old people, right? Becky made a memory.

Then he smiled again: "Uncle Emperor, your problem will be solved soon, when I came back from Hongnong, I heard about something, about the baby candy house." ”

"What is it?" Li Longji cooperated.

"That's the question you asked, baby candy house tomorrow, yes, it's tomorrow, tomorrow is about the same, enough time, that, they will launch a new activity, make candies and pastries suitable for adults and the elderly, with excellent ingredients and pure taste.

Why? Because they want to go with you. ”

"Gee, that's what a hero sees."

"Yes, yes, heroes, slightly the same, there is a slight difference, they are not sold directly to adults and the elderly, but they sell suits, such as tiger fathers without dogs, war brothers, mother and daughter concentric suits, parent-child family suits, three generations in the same house, four generations in the same house and so on.

Their slogan is, 'The sweetest thing is the sweetest thing is the sweetest honey from the Baby Candy House, and the happiest way to eat it is to taste it with your family'. What do you think? Good no good? ”

Xiaobei smiled proudly and took two breaths, thinking that it was not easy to say the words he had just memorized word for word.

'Shh~! Li Longji hadn't eaten the candy yet, his teeth had already begun to hurt, he glanced at Xiaobei in shock, got up slightly, and looked backwards, only to see the eight children looking here with wide eyes.

Gao Lishi showed a pleased smile, with a hint of pride, just like when Xiaobei said the difference, it was a trace of it.

Li Longji turned around, met Xiao Bei's expectant gaze when he was waiting for praise, and nodded fiercely: "Okay, great, compared to the means of making money in the baby candy house, all the noisy officials below should go to farming, they have lived for so many years in vain, they should feel ashamed and ashamed." ”

Xiaobei was satisfied, smiled sweetly and modestly, and said: "That's not necessary, they are also very hard-working, they have a specialization in the art industry, it doesn't matter if they are old, my brother said that life is wealth." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that there are people who are young and can be officials and make money, they are really good, and this official is afraid of comparison." Li Longji seemed to say to Xiaobei, and said a word to himself.

After that, he turned on the microphone: "Zhongqing pause for a moment." ”

In an instant, Hanyuan Hall regained its quietness, as if the noise just now was a dream, and everyone still felt that it was normal, life was originally a dream, don't complain about a dream in life.

Seeing that it was quiet, Li Longji said: "Next year's various expenditures will be submitted, and after the details of each ministry are listed, the written order in the table will be submitted. ”

After saying that, Li Longji walked back, Xiaobei and others, as well as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also followed, Zhang Zhong rejected his son's proposal to eat together in the past, saying that there was a good meal in the ministry, and he brought a food box at home, which was better than the canteen of the Ministry of Industry.

The other officials also left one after another with dry mouths, and they felt that the hungry people were going back to find something to eat, but they did not dare to follow the emperor and go to eat.

After knowing that Zhang Xiaobao was not suitable for big sports recently, Li Longji didn't let him cook, let alone give him medicine, and there was no shortage of people.

The only thing that can be done is to ask the cook in the imperial kitchen to put the rice and chicken together and cook them over high heat, so that the rice grains cannot be seen, and it is like paste.

As a result, a layer of paste under the porridge, that is, the pot, let Xiaobei leave, and the nine people divided it as a snack for grinding teeth.

Everyone chatted while eating, Gao Lishi told Zhang Xiaobao what had just happened, about the candy house, Xiaobei embarrassedly buried his head in the bowl.

Wang Juan sighed, what kind of people teach what kind of students, according to nine children, you really have to open a lot of chain stores to form a brand series.

During the banquet, Zhang Xiaobao put forward a few more ideas, and Li Longji agreed one by one, and when he asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan what he guessed about the appearance of another country's 'cow', the two were almost speechless.

Zhang Xiaobao had no choice but to choose what he could say to describe it to Li Longji, but he didn't dare to tell Li Longji that the plane could circle the earth in one day, and a small nuclear warhead would be thrown into the capital, and the entire capital would be destroyed.

He was afraid that Li Longji would be desperate, and even more afraid that Li Longji would ask, why could he come over one day, but he couldn't come to fight?

Could it be that they told Li Longji that they love peace, that they invented that nuclear warhead for the convenience of clearing wasteland, and that they want to farm in a few years in a certain big forest, so they will blow it up, and then wait a few years to plant it?

Don't talk about Li Longji this kind of thing, Xiaobei won't believe it.

After eating, Zhang Xiaobao's matter had been finished, he only ate four points full, or three points full, and always felt empty in his stomach.

After dinner, I took my younger siblings home, and went to the lake in the afternoon, and Xiaobei Jiu was also busy implementing the new candy house plan and looking for someone to design it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found a lot of information to prepare for the subsequent martial arts.

In the afternoon of the same day, more officials came to invest, handed over the vouchers for saving money, and asked relatives at home if they could also participate, but Li Longji unceremoniously refused.

There are many officials above the fifth grade in the capital, and there are also officials who are qualified to participate in the early dynasty and belong to special departments, but officials with grades less than five grades have also contributed money.

The most hesitant officials in their hearts are the officials who oppose the Zhang and Wang families, afraid that they will not be able to earn back after investing money, and they will be deceived, and they are afraid that if they don't invest money, the benefits in the future will be gone.

At noon, they got the news that in addition to their group of officials, the homes of other officials who could go to the court had things sent in the name of Zhuangyuanlou.

For example, good things such as potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, ginseng, deer antler velvet, etc., belong to the kind that can't be bought with money.

One by one, they scolded Zhang Xiaobao and retribution, and one by one they were unwilling to change their attitudes, under the contact of people with hearts, everyone discussed, and felt that it was better to invest, and then they made money, and other officials shared, can you Zhang Xiaobao still give it to me?

So a rare scene appeared, the officials who did not deal with Zhang and Wang's families raised more money, and sent it to the money collection office with the spirit of Feng Xiaoxiao.

After Zhang Zhong heard this, he shook his head helplessly, he knew that if his son Xiaobao really divided the money, it would be impossible not to give this part of the officials, but his son could make the money invested in it not generate profits, and use other excuses to compensate another part of the officials from other aspects.

"Hey~! I'd better pretend to be my weak character, it's too strong, it's not good. Zhang Zhong muttered, lowered his head and continued to ponder the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

The afternoon sun shines warmly, and you don't have to look up to see the white clouds, which turn into a pig at one time and a sheep at another.

Zhang Fu, who served in the military department, went to a telegraph state-owned company before he planned to find a restaurant to eat, and sent a telegram to the place where his family was, and someone there would help deliver it to his home.

He has made up his mind to take his family over, and take two children who have never met with his daughter-in-law to have a good time in the capital, go to the Hibiscus Garden, go to the zoo, go to the Zhuangyuan Building for a meal, and then visit the east and west cities.

Yes, Zhang Jiedu said that he was trying to solve the housing problem, and I don't know if he went to see the emperor today.

Zhang Fu was walking on the road, in the environment of high clouds and clouds, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment, he always felt very trance, in the days in the capital, he had to walk this road every day, but today it seemed familiar and unfamiliar.

Everything around you is close in front of you, like the edge of the sky, and your feet are fluttering when you step on it.

Zhang Fu, who lost his soul, walked to a small shop selling soup cakes according to his habit, he could only come out to eat by himself, or bring a food box, and no one made the food box, unlike the Ministry of Industry and Sinong Temple, where people have a special canteen.

"Lord Zhang, are you here?" As soon as Zhang Fu entered the store, the guy greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Don't call me an adult, what kind of adult am I, just a small official, come to a fried sauce noodles, put meat sauce, don't eat noodles, isn't it just an extra penny, thank you yesterday for teaching me how to talk and do things."

Zhang Fu waved his hand, found a place where no one was, and sat there sideways.

"That's called Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, did you use the method you told you yesterday? Who are the officials you want to meet? The little ones may have heard of it. The guy habitually dusted off the clean table with a rag, asked with a smile, and shouted to the kitchen behind him to jajanjangmyeon.

"It's used, it's not easy to use, what people want to hear is the truth, I kind of understand, the bigger the official, the more harmonious the talent." Zhang said with emotion.

"Brother Zhang, you haven't said who it is, tell me, I know." Dude is curious.

Zhang was frustrated and said: "Of course you know, I saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan go, and the money will be given to you first, otherwise after eating for a while, I will go out and forget it, give, and then." ”

The guy with a blank face was pulled by Zhang Fu's hand and stuffed with three cents.

"Hold it up, don't lose it and say I didn't give it." Zhang Fu reminded again.

Only then did the guy react, his hands trembled, and his voice trembled: "Zhang, Brother Zhang, you, are you seeing the two of them~?" See, see? Long, what, what? ”

"Look, I'll just say you know, I saw it, it's different from what I thought, I look like a talented woman, I can't feel the official authority when I speak, it's like I usually meet friends and chat, and teach me to sing, give me wine, that's ......."

The more Zhang Fu spoke, the more excited he became, but as a result, there were many people gathered around, and they didn't dare to make a loud noise, they listened quietly, listened and listened, and they became excited, and they didn't know why they were.

It wasn't until the kitchen shouted several times in a row that everyone gave way and chose a place again, and the tables around Zhang Fu were all full, and there were too many people on the opposite side because of the robbery, so they had to be empty in the end.

The man brought the noodles up, and took out a penny to return it to Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu looked at the noodles, in addition to the meat sauce, he also added a spoonful of egg sauce, and asked suspiciously, "...... is this?" ”

"The egg sauce is a small one for Brother Zhang, you added, meat sauce noodles, two texts." The guy seemed much more respectful, and he could see Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the person who could talk, was worth a small spoonful of egg sauce.

"Didn't you say the day before yesterday that the price of meat had risen, so you added an article? From 11 to 17, what are you going to do in your store? Zhang Fu thought that the guy said this on purpose.

Without waiting for the guy to answer, a person who was also eating next to him said to Zhang Fu: "It's up, one day, just one day, yesterday it was ten, today it has become nine, some people say that Zhang Xiaobao is angry, what is more than 50%."

Let the meat seller spit out the extra money he has earned at a reduced price in these two days, spit it out, and then restore the original price, not the one who sells meat, but the one who sells meat. ”

"Which one?" Zhang was puzzled.

"It was the one who sent meat to the capital, a car, a boat, some people said that they were frightened, and they knelt in front of Zhang Xiaobao all night last night." Another said.

"Nonsense, yesterday Zhang Xiaobao took the exam, can the businessman who sells meat enter the examination room? I didn't leave until midnight, why didn't I see it? Zhang Fu refuted with facts.

"How do I know, it's down anyway, except for Zhang Xiaobao, who can make the businessman so scared that he reacts like a mouse walking and hitting a cat." The man said unconvinced.

Zhang Fu sighed again in his heart, "This is fame, but who knows, the person who said a word, the entire Datang Upper Realm would tremble, and he also likes to tell jokes to people." ’

"So, you're busy eating a lot of pâté?" Zhang Fu asked the guy.

"Busy, busy to make money, in two days will be even busier, I have to work outside the city and deliver noodles." The man looked happy, because the store belonged to his family, and he would take over the shopkeeper in the future.

"There's work outside the city, too?"

"Brother Zhang, you don't know? The Ministry of War dispatched a lot of forbidden troops today, working with the sergeants from Tubo outside the city, expanding the city, originally to the west, didn't Zhang Xiaobao enter the palace and tell the emperor to expand in all directions.

The emperor agreed, expanded in all directions, and asked the army to be dispatched, saying that as an army training, a house should be built first, and the place near the current city should be given to the sergeant's family to live, and he said that he would spend the New Year together. ”

The man was well-informed and talked to Zhang Fu.

Zhang frustrated and gasped for two breaths, lowered his head, and after only a while, a bowl of noodles was stuffed into his stomach, and the old soup with a thick sauce flavor couldn't be drunk, so he said hello to his buddy and hurriedly ran out.
