The warrior Yu began to sigh and complain.
"You can't blame us for this. During the Sui Dynasty, there were large warehouses everywhere, and small towns similar to each other were built. The grain storage was huge, and it was very convenient to spend it.
In this case, who would be interested in the county's granary? As long as it is dilapidated and usable.
Later, wars broke out and everyone fought for the big warehouses, while others were ignored.
After His Majesty established the empire, he eliminated the big ones and replaced the small ones. I was not in the Ministry of Household Affairs in the past few years, but I also know that most places cannot make ends meet. Only the south and north of Shanxi are better, and they are also benefiting from His Majesty's favor.
Food and grass in other places are harvested and used, and they are kept for emergencies. The main reason is that if people's homes are unable to survive in winter, the government can open warehouses to release food so that people will not starve to death.
After having accumulated some savings in the past two years, someone discovered that the warehouse seemed to be a little dilapidated, so they started shouting, why do you think they left earlier?"
This is a relatively pure statement made by court officials. They will not say that they did not expect this, and the blame will always be passed on to others. Even if what they say is the truth, it is obviously a sign of passing the buck.
Especially since he was saying both inside and outside of his words that he had just returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs and his butt was still hot, so this was not his fault.
Wen Yanbo immediately said something greasy in his heart, and his face became serious. Moreover, he did not say that he would hold the officials from the Ministry of Revenue accountable. This guy just said these few words...
Wen Yanbo's eyes turned cold and he asked in a deep voice: "So, the Ministry of Revenue hasn't come up with a plan yet?"
The warrior Yu looked at Wen Yanbo's face and thought to himself that this man turned against him very quickly. Alas, these ministers who follow the dragon are really not easy to get along with.
Wen Yanbo is like this, and Su Dan is like this.
Su Yuanzai was so conceited that his head was filled with worry. When he saw that he was new, he handed over the land and warehousing matters to him.
On the surface, he was given a heavy responsibility, but in fact, it was a hot potato thrown into his hands, because these things overlapped with the powers of Sinong Temple, and many things had to be handled through consultation and disputes with the other side.
It's inevitable.
If you can't fight, it means you are incompetent. If you can fight, Dou Guangda is very familiar with him, and he is not an easy person to get along with. You are in a dilemma...
Speaking of which, he used to be in charge of wealth matters in the Ministry of Household Affairs and Jiangling. That was his old profession...
Thinking of this, Samurai Yu sighed inwardly and said to himself that the world was difficult.
…………
"That can't be done... next year the weather will be warmer, and I plan to send people to check various grain reserves. As you know in terms of grain and grass supply in recent years, counties are generally self-sufficient and live within their means.
There must be some false reports, but it is true that the local area is more difficult. There is not much surplus after a year of moving. For example, in Shandong, what is gained this year will be used by the army. If there is a natural disaster or something, the court will have to deliver food to the victims.
past.
It's just that now that various places have slowed down a bit, we discussed it and felt that it's time to take a closer look at the county's granaries. Those in the county that should be abandoned should be abandoned. It is better to repair some based on the county's granary.
, build some.
Some places are barren and some are rich. To delineate these areas, the provinces have to make the demarcation.
Not long ago, I heard that the Ministry of Personnel was going to eliminate redundant officials... There are too many people lying on the granary sucking blood here in the Ministry of Revenue, so why not take this opportunity to eliminate some of them, I wonder if this will work?"
Wen Yanbo nodded from time to time, and it sounded okay, not counting the corpse meal.
Especially when it comes to eliminating redundant officials, the Ministry of Revenue is more active than the Ministry of Personnel. There is no way, people are hungry and scared in these years of war, and anyone with a bit of family background is keen to lean towards the Ministry of Revenue.
Today, a huge group of bureaucrats has formed under the Ministry of Revenue, which is the hardest hit area by redundant officials. Although it is not as annoying as it was later, it has also greatly increased the burden on the court.
Therefore, what Samurai Yu said actually did not represent him alone, but the collective opinions of the senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue. It was just him, the "newcomer", who took the lead.
Wen Yanbo knew this very well. The officials of the Household Department headed by Su Yuanzai had been dealing with money and food all year round, and they all had their own minds. They were watching the officials take action, and then they followed the trend.
"Now that we have some countermeasures, let's put them together. It just so happens that Zhongshu also needs to demarcate the upper and lower counties. We need help from people from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Mr. Wu, who can do more work, go to Zhongshu to see Xiao.
Zhongshu, make this matter final."
Warrior Tong smiled and said, "I've heard about this too, but I just don't know if the tea brewed by Xiao Zhongshu is fragrant or not?"
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and thought to himself, you'd better not be so frivolous in front of Xiao Shiwen, otherwise... haha...
"The Lantern Festival is coming soon. Your Majesty is planning to organize this year's lantern festival, and the palace will be lively. You go back and discuss this matter with Su Shangshu to see how you can make it appear more impressive."
The warrior Yu was stunned and asked: "These things are not the responsibility of Taichang Temple..."
Wen Yanbo waved his hand, "In terms of brainstorming, how can the minds of those in Taichang Temple be as lively as those from the Ministry of Household Affairs? Besides, they are the ones who do the talking every time, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has to raise funds for the implementation of the work.
?
Last year, when the various government offices shared their share, the Ministry of Revenue's work on grain harvests was the most outstanding. Other departments also made frequent ingenuity and performed very wonderfully. This year, I guess they will do it as usual, but since Your Majesty has a destiny, it can't all be the same as before.
It’s time for your household department to give you some advice.”
Warrior Xun nodded. Hearing that it was His Majesty's intention, he couldn't help but make up his mind.
After returning to the capital, he only met the emperor twice, once as a routine interview at the beginning of his return to the capital, and once at the small court meeting, not counting the large court meeting.
He couldn't hang out in front of the emperor from time to time, which made him feel very insecure as a minister.
So he thought he should come up with some good ideas to cater to the Holy Will, and maybe he could go to the Tai Chi Hall to answer the question.
This is how sycophants come...
He rolled his eyes, and the idea came to him, "This year, roads and ditches are being repaired everywhere, especially in Luoyang. Duke Pei has the intention of restoring the old view of the Eastern Capital. The merchants are rushing to tell each other, and there are endless responses.
After half a year of such exchanges, the merchants have gained a lot, so why not let them also contribute their ideas and efforts to the lantern festival? These people come from all over the world and come from all over the world. They should have some fantastic ideas and add some local customs and customs to them.
It’s an eye-opener.”
Wen Yanbo laughed and said in his heart that he really deserves to be a big businessman. He thought of those merchants first.
But he came from a serious family official, and his thoughts were different from those of the warrior Yu.
After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Your Majesty has the heart to enjoy the people, which is very good. Your Majesty intends to build a palace in Chang'an next year. If the merchants can stand out at the Lantern Festival, they can be given some care next year."
Don't worry about the two masters. If the idea comes from the Minister Wu, let the Minister discuss it with Taichang Temple. There is no need to report to the province when the decision is made, just report it directly to His Majesty.
Speaking of this, I have also looked at the merchants registered in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The entries are too general. I will be more careful next year and try my best to persuade the big businessmen with names to live in Chang'an or Dongdu.
In the past few years, the imperial court has successively opened border markets, focusing on them. Chang'an can follow the example of the former Sui Dynasty and build some commercial halls to facilitate the imperial government's management and inquiry. The Ministry of Household Affairs will discuss it and report it to Zhongshu to see what they say."
This was a big deal. The samurai Yu was originally a merchant and was in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he could not be ignorant of the court's policy tendencies.
Starting from the fourth year of Yuanzhen, when the Tang Dynasty and the Turks formed an alliance, the shackles that had been tied to the merchant community gradually showed signs of loosening.
It was heard in the court before that His Majesty did not like merchants. There are different opinions on the reasons. The root cause is probably that when the emperor raised troops in Yunnei, he saw the Jin Dynasty's wealthy people interacting with the Turks for profit.
Therefore, in the first few years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the borders of the Tang Dynasty were heavily guarded and trade routes were cut off.
In the past two years, the trend has gradually changed. It is not because the emperor has changed his attitude. It is mainly because foreign envoys have entered the court one after another. They all want to do business with the Tang Dynasty. The lifting of border restrictions has become the general trend.
In particular, the warrior Xun once heard the emperor say with his own ears that there is no wealth without businessmen. It is obvious that even if the emperor does not like businessmen, he will not act according to his own likes and dislikes.
The warrior Xun was confident and immediately lowered his head and saluted and said: "Yes, I will report it to Su Shangshu immediately after my official returns."
Seeing that he understood the importance, Wen Yanbo nodded with satisfaction. After thinking about it, he changed his expression and said seriously: "The minister has made suggestions and suggestions for the country. He has great wisdom and talents.
It's just that it's easy for people to get sick when their families are rich. Especially in the past two years, business has become increasingly prosperous. How rich is the minister? Wealth and honor are high, and those who are officials want to be followed by others. How can the minister want to have both?"
Although these words were short, Warrior Yu felt chills running down his back. Listening to the familiar local accent, he vaguely understood that it was only because they were both township party members that they could be warned like this. Otherwise, how could Wen Dalin behave like him?
People say this privately?
And this was what he was most worried about. Unfortunately, two little beasts were born in the house, so he would often give him some eye drops. It seemed that this had spread to the province.
The warrior Tong secretly complained, but he still gratefully said to Wen Yanbo: "What Pu She taught me is that I also have no way to teach my son... I will definitely correct my family style when I return..."
Wen Yanbo said in his heart, what's the use of your promise to me? There are not two chapters of this chapter about the Inspector's impeachment of you. The most terrifying thing is the Military Intelligence Department...
Of course, Wen Yanbo would not talk to Warrior Yu about this. To remind him a little bit, it is because both of them are from Jinyang. Otherwise, he would not talk nonsense to Warrior Yu and just wait to catch Warrior Yu's tail.
Just grab a few handfuls of them.
…………
Warrior Xun left Shangshu Province with a heart full of worries, and went around to the Ministry of Punishment. Yang Gongren was not there. He heard that he was going to Tai Chi Hall to hold a small court meeting, which made Warrior Xun envious.
After leaving the Criminal Department, he tightened his clothes. He had always been a little hesitant about family matters. He had no choice but to have two sons...
