Great Wei Scholar Chapter 114: The Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War, unify the three departments! Wait for the fish
Chapter 114: The Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War, unify the three departments! Wait for the fish
Take the bait!
Chenshi.
Household Department.
With the arrival of Xu Qingxiao, the household department became completely quiet at this moment.
Everyone had an inexplicable fear of Xu Qingxiao.
If Xu Qingxiao glanced at someone, the latter immediately lowered his head, afraid to look directly.
No one dares to provoke this god. The punishment department’s lesson is in front of them, but no one dares to mess around.
However, the Ministry of Revenue has its own tricks. They are not as stupid as the Ministry of Punishment, which directly puts Xu Qingxiao's shoes on. Instead, they try their best to cooperate, but this is a bit too much.
If you want files, I will give you all the files and let you check them slowly. If there are not enough, I will give you all the files.
It's just that Xu Qingxiao's sudden visit made everyone in the household department a little nervous, thinking that Xu Qingxiao was here to cause trouble.
"I have met Mr. Xu."
"Morning, Mr. Xu."
However, they didn't dare to look directly at Xu Qingxiao. When they saw Xu Qingxiao, everyone still spoke and respectfully called Mr. Xu.
Xu Qingxiao smiled back one by one.
At this moment, someone came over.
"Sir Xu, Gu Shangshu invites you to go to the inner hall."
The other party opened his mouth and told Xu Qingxiao that Mr. Gu had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
"good."
Xu Qingxiao also came here to find Gu Shangshu.
Walking towards the inner hall, a dozen figures soon appeared in the inner hall. Looking at this posture, it inexplicably looked like a three-chamber trial.
Gu Yan stood among the crowd. He had a thin face and some gray hair. He looked almost seventy years old. He was wearing a minister's official robe, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at him not far away.
"Xu Qingxiao, the lower official, has met Gu Shangshu, the two ministers, and all my colleagues."
Xu Qingxiao seemed calm. He walked up and said this.
"Yes." Gu Yan nodded, and then said: "Have you accounted for the files you took away a few days ago?"
Gu Yan asked directly. He originally planned to go find Xu Qingxiao yesterday, but finally calmed down.
He didn't know what Xu Qingxiao had in mind. He didn't know if he wanted to attack the royal family. But the only thing Gu Yan could do was to delay Xu Qingxiao's time.
Yes, to delay time, Xu Qingxiao wants to check the tax bank of the household department, right? Well, go and look at the information first, and then come to yourself after reading and calculating.
Let’s talk slowly then.
As for Xu Qingxiao having the Great Neilong Talisman on hand, he didn't care. His Majesty said that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment would be at Xu Qingxiao's disposal, and their Ministry of Household Affairs would just provide assistance.
Gu Yan will also be able to assist with this, but the premise is that Xu Qingxiao has to finish what she is doing. If she can't finish it, don't talk so much.
"The calculation has been completed."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and smiled slightly.
As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions changed slightly, but Gu Yan's expression did not change, he just looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Qingxiao, it's not that I look down on you. It's just that you took away more than 8,000 files in the past few days. Each file is extremely long and thin. If the entire household department were to count it, it would still cost a lot.
In January."
"You didn't even get to the 20th and you finished the calculation?"
Gu Yan was not surprised, but asked directly.
There are more than 8,300 files sent by the Ministry of Revenue to Xu Qingxiao. Do you think it will take you a month to read them? Even if Xu Qingxiao can read ten lines at a time, it will take half a month, right?
It’s been twenty days now, and you say that not only have you finished reading it, but you’ve also finished all the calculations? Aren’t you bluffing?
"Sir, your Majesty, I have my own accounting method. Here are the details of all the expenditures in the past thirty years. I hope your Majesty will verify it."
"Oh, by the way, there is also a list of omissions. After Master Shangshu reads it, he must investigate it immediately. I believe that the officials of the Ministry of Revenue are honest and upright, but after all, it has to do with money and taxation, so it is better to be more cautious.
"
"Otherwise, it would be bad if we were caught."
Xu Qingxiao handed over two copies of rice paper, one containing the numbers calculated over the years, and the other containing the errors.
At that moment, Hu Bu frowned up and down, while Gu Yan took the stack of thick paper hesitantly, and then looked at it.
With just one glance, Gu Yan's expression changed.
Xu Qingxiao's arrangement method is really too subtle, and the expenditures and incomes are calculated clearly. It is one thing whether this method is difficult to learn, but the most important thing is that it is easy to read.
Just like if your majesty needs to view the household taxation of the Wei Dynasty, it will be presented as a lot of files.
Then read them one by one.
Xu Qingxiao's copy is very concise, and Xu Qingxiao even marked the content of which volume it is, so that it is easier to review and avoid problems.
Gu Yan can tell in an instant that this thing can increase the efficiency of the household department by at least 30%, and it will save everyone a lot of trouble when doing accounting in the future.
Looking at these accounts carefully, Gu Yan's eyes showed surprise every time he looked at them.
The more I looked at it, the more shocked I became.
As the Secretary of the Department of Revenue, he knows the accounts of the Department of Revenue best. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is very familiar with them, so he can compare every account of Xu Qingxiao in his mind.
Nothing is wrong.
Any errors will be marked on another copy, because this itself is a wrong account.
"good!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Gu Yan couldn't help but shout out "Hello".
The other officials from the Ministry of Revenue were a little surprised. They didn't know what Gu Yan had read and why he just applauded.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Gu Yan took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, then handed the thing in his hand to Zuo Shilang and said: "Watch it carefully, check it again, and study hard."
After saying this, Gu Yan looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Qingxiao, come in with me."
Xu Qingxiao's move made Gu Yan no longer dare to underestimate him.
To be honest, it's not that Gu Yan looks down on Xu Qingxiao, but that Xu Qingxiao is known for his eternal literary talent and talent for investigating crimes. He is a great talent in the literary world and a great talent in the Ministry of Justice.
But who is not a talented person in the Ministry of Revenue, who can know?
What is the basis of the household department? The simplest point is arithmetic.
As for tax collection, that is a matter on another level and is a political factor. The bottom-level job of the Ministry of Revenue is to make clear calculations and then find out the faults.
Xu Qingxiao's form is of great significance, at least for the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is of great help.
Soon everyone gathered around.
And Xu Qingxiao also walked into the room.
"sit."
Gu Yan asked Xu Qingxiao to sit down and poured tea for Xu Qingxiao.
"Qingxiao, what you gave me just now was really written by you in the past twenty days?"
Gu Yan asked.
"Reply to Master Shangshu, to be precise, seventeen days."
Xu Qingxiao said neither humble nor arrogantly.
Gu Yan: "."
"How did you calculate clearly within seventeen days? With all due respect, it would take you half a month to read the 8,354 files, right?"
"That is to say, it only took you two days to calculate what the Ministry of Accounts would need three or four months to calculate."
Gu Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Well, maybe this is talent."
Xu Qingxiao scratched her head in embarrassment.
Gu Yan: "."
Looking at Gu Yan who looked silent, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to act anymore, but took out a piece of paper and said.
"Master Shangshu, I know what you want to ask."
"I just want to ask the official how the arithmetic method is accurate and efficient."
"Actually, Xiaguan just changed the algorithm."
Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth. He knew what Gu Yan wanted to ask, so he was direct.
"Changed the algorithm? Tell me about it."
Gu Yan stood up and came to Xu Qingxiao's side, looking like he was not ashamed to ask questions.
And Xu Qingxiao didn't hide it. It would be better to take out this kind of thing as soon as possible. At least it would be a good thing for Wei.
Reduce labor costs, improve work efficiency, and even be promoted nationwide, which can be regarded as a kind of national strengthening.
"Gu Shangshu, the method of accounting in the household department should be with the help of something like an abacus. But if you want to be really proficient in learning abacus, first of all, it is troublesome. Secondly, every account needs to be calculated over and over again, but there is a high probability of errors.
great."
"Then you can use addition and subtraction arithmetic to calculate."
"But if you use addition and subtraction to do calculations, you need to replace the numbers. For example, this word should be changed to this."
Xu Qingxiao patiently explained to Gu Shangshu, and also threw out the Arabic numerals, a total of ten.
Gu Yan on the side listened with great interest, and was full of learning attitude, not daring to take a breath at all.
"Gu Shangshu can understand these ten numbers as symbols. This is one and this is two. They cannot be confused."
"Suppose we received a sum of money this year, 14,856,423 taels, and then spent 8,564,221 taels, then we can make a simple
Subtraction."
Xu Qingxiao wrote down the numbers, then performed the conversions, speaking in the tone of a primary school teacher.
"Reduce the large number and reduce the small number. If you don't have enough, borrow it. Then do this, then do this, and finally do this."
"The result is, six million two hundred and ninety-two thousand and two thousand taels."
Xu Qingxiao spent nearly two quarters of an hour explaining the principles of addition and subtraction.
In fact, the concept of addition and subtraction was already known in the Wei Dynasty. The Wei Dynasty had the art of Tianchijiu, which can be regarded as addition and subtraction.
The core of what Xu Qingxiao taught Gu Shangshu was not addition and subtraction, but Arabic numerals.
It is equivalent to simplifying the abacus. After all, when you need to calculate, you just use an abacus to calculate. Whether it is troublesome or not is a question.
The most important thing is that after you have calculated it once, you have to calculate it again. A few hundred taels is easier, but what about tens of thousands of taels? What about hundreds of thousands of taels? How about millions of taels? Or even tens of millions of taels, or tens of millions of taels?
How many files are there in total of a country's expenditure and income?
There are thirty days a month in the household department of the Wei Dynasty, and 70% of the people are counting money every day. Is this tiring? Is it troublesome? Is it a waste of time?
Arabic can be used instead of numbers. Let alone tens of millions of taels, even if it is millions of taels, it is nothing more than adding a few extra zeros.
"Gu Shangshu, have you failed in your studies?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
If you haven't learned it yet, you can only teach it again.
"I understand."
Gu Yan recovered from his shock. When he heard Xu Qingxiao speak like this, Gu Yan took out a writing brush and started calculating directly.
Gu Yan casually wrote a series of numbers, and then wrote a series of numbers again. According to the addition and subtraction method taught by Xu Qingxiao, although there was a lag, the speed was not slow.
After a while, Gu Yan calculated the answer.
Then he took out an abacus from the cabinet on the side and started doing calculations.
For the same calculation, Gu Yan and Gu Shangshu were proficient in the art of abacus. He was a few breaths slower than before, but he still figured it out.
After comparison, the numbers obtained by the two are exactly the same!
hiss!
At this moment, Gu Yan and Gu Shangshu, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, were completely stunned.
Xu Qingxiao was very calm. She took a sip of tea and seemed at ease.
After a while, Gu Shangshu swallowed hard, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Great talent!"
"Great talent!"
"Shouren! You are truly an eternal talent!"
Gu Yan grabbed Xu Qingxiao's arm and shouted excitedly, praising Qingxiao as an eternal talent.
However, Xu Qingxiao took out her hand and said seriously.
"Master Gu, men and women don't have closeness, and men don't have closeness. If you do this, I'm going to sue you."
He doesn't discriminate against Long Yang's kindness, but he can't do it to himself, especially at such an old age. This is definitely not possible.
"This algorithm."
"If it is promoted, the accounting efficiency of the Account Department will be greatly improved at least several times in the future."
"Xu Shouren, you are truly an eternal talent."
Gu Shangshu didn't care about Xu Qingxiao's remarks, but said with unparalleled excitement.
Xu Qingxiao's algorithm is not about how accurate it is, but it is simple and extremely easy to learn. There is no need to learn an abacus, and there is no need to go back and forth for fear of accidentally making a mistake.
After all, if you accidentally make a calculation too quickly, errors may easily occur. Therefore, generally speaking, an calculation requires five people to calculate separately. The five people must calculate a consistent answer before it can be recorded in the file.
But relying on the numbers invented by Xu Qingxiao, it is even more simple. It still requires five people to calculate it, but there is no need to foolishly keep pounding the abacus, you only need to add and subtract, and you can get the result quickly.
In this case, wouldn't it greatly reduce manpower?
The remaining people can do other things, and the efficiency of the household department can at least be doubled.
And what is the Ministry of Revenue? It is the department that controls the finances of the Wei Dynasty. If basic accounting is accelerated, it can effectively do other things.
This is simply good news for the household department. You may not feel anything in a day or two, but given time, a year, ten years, or a hundred years.
How much time can be saved in the meantime?
Gu Yan really didn't expect that Xu Qingxiao not only had great talent in literature, but also had such a terrifying talent in the household department.
Who the hell is this person?
Is it possible that he really is an eternal genius?
At this moment, Gu Yan couldn't help but think of a sentence.
"If heaven had not given birth to me, it would have been a clear night, and Confucianism and Taoism would last forever like a long night."
Gu Yan inexplicably wanted to change two words for Xu Qingxiao.
Change Confucianism and Taoism to Dawei.
"Gu Shangshu, I have taught you the accounting method, shall we talk about business next?"
Xu Qingxiao was not arrogant, but instead mentioned business. This arithmetic method was just a small gift to the Ministry of Revenue, and it was also to strengthen the Wei Dynasty. But today he came here not only for this matter.
"kindness!"
Gu Yan regained his composure and poured Xu Qingxiao another cup of tea.
"Shouren, you gave such a big gift to the Ministry of Finance, so I'll tell you straight away."
"Actually, giving you all the files is not for suppression, but for two purposes."
"First, I hope you can truly understand Wei's current situation."
"Secondly, I want you to be quiet for a while. You just killed the county king with your front foot, and countless eyes in the entire Wei Dynasty are staring at you. If you make a wrong move, it will be an abyss."
"It's precisely because of this that I let people do this. You shouldn't have any grudges."
Gu Yan told the truth, he didn't mean to disgust Xu Qingxiao, nor did he mean to wear small shoes. There was no need for this, it was just a misunderstanding by the people below.
"The official knows."
Xu Qingxiao nodded. He understood what Gu Yan was thinking. If he were Gu Yan, he would probably do the same thing.
After all, if it is too strong, it will break.
But the problem is, today's Wei Dynasty, you can't be more strong. Xu Qingxiao also wishes that the Wei Dynasty was in its prosperous stage, so he could recite a few poems and win beauties. Wouldn't that be nice?
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
"As long as you understand."
Gu Yan nodded, and then continued.
"Then let me ask you, what are you going to do next?"
"to be honest."
Gu Yan said seriously.
Now that everything has been said here, there is no need to be secretive.
"Tax! Collect tax! Pay tax!"
Xu Qingxiao didn't intend to hide anything anymore. The other party was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and what he had to do was what the Ministry of Revenue did. Naturally, there was no need to hide anything. It was better to say it directly.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yan's expression changed, but he kept his composure and looked at Xu Qingxiao.
"Whose tax?"
The consultant asked.
"A foreign race."
Xu Qingxiao said with determination.
"An alien race from another country?"
Gu Yan was a little surprised now. He originally thought that Xu Qingxiao would say that he was from the royal family, but he was so full that he couldn't say anything anymore.
"Mr. Gu, from your position, should their taxes be paid?"
There was a hint of coldness in Xu Qingxiao's eyes.
Gu Yan was the Minister of Household Affairs. As soon as Xu Qingxiao said this, he instantly understood what Xu Qingxiao was thinking.
"Should!"
After a while, Gu Yan nodded and answered from the perspective of a minister.
“What does it mean to just pay taxes?”
Gu Yan asked, he was a little confused. He could understand tax collection, but what was the meaning of paying taxes?
"Gu Shangshu, the amount of silver these foreign tribes earn every year in the Wei Dynasty can be said to be astronomical. In the past, the Wei Dynasty was prosperous and allowed them not to pay taxes, which was considered as a way for these foreign tribes to survive."
"But now that the Wei Dynasty is gradually declining, how can they be allowed to lie on the Wei Dynasty and suck blood?"
"To pay taxes means to pay for all the taxes they paid three years ago, and 30% of each payment must be paid back."
Xu Qingxiao expressed her thoughts.
"Thirty percent!"
"Shouren, will they agree?"
Gu Shangshu almost screamed. He was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, so he naturally understood how terrifying Xu Qingxiao's words were.
One year will make up for 30%, and three years will make up for 90%.
In other words, they earned 10,000 taels of silver in three years, and they have to make up 3,000 taels of silver this year, which is equivalent to making money in vain this year.
Who can agree to this?
No one else would agree.
"Don't agree?"
"If they don't agree, let them get out of the Wei Dynasty. Nowadays, the Wei Dynasty is full of waste and waiting for prosperity. It would be good to lose this group of people. At least the people of the Wei Dynasty can do business on their own, which can be regarded as increasing the employment rate."
Xu Qingxiao said casually.
Gu Yan didn't understand what the employment rate meant, but it sounded a bit strange, but his mind was not on it for the time being. Instead, he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"There are many forces behind these foreign tribes. If they pay 30% of the tax, they will definitely cause trouble."
Gu Yan was still a little hesitant when he opened his mouth.
"Gu Shangshu!"
"At this time, the Wei Dynasty is no longer in its heyday. If you are afraid of this or that, I dare to ask you a question."
"Can Wei have 50 million taels of silver at his disposal?"
Xu Qingxiao looked at Gu Yan firmly, and Gu Yan was speechless with one sentence.
"But this!"
As a minister, Gu Yan needs to consider many things carefully. It is true that he is not as passionate and daring as Xu Qingxiao, but this does not mean that it is bad.
"Gu Shangshu, I will only say one sentence. After that, you can make your own decision."
"After offending these foreign tribes, the Wei Dynasty will still be the Wei Dynasty! If the Wei Dynasty disappears, these foreign tribes will not pity us."
Xu Qingxiao said word by word, these words were a bit treacherous, but in Gu Yan's ears, these words seemed deafening for no reason.
He fell silent.
Xu Qingxiao did not urge him, but sat in front of him, drinking cup after cup of tea.
Three quarters of an hour later.
Gu Yan took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qingxiao with a firm look in his eyes.
"how do you want to do it?"
The consultant asked.
"Gu Shangshu, please forgive me for not being able to explain the specific methods, but one thing is that I must have a sense of proportion in what I do."
I can't say exactly how it will be implemented, but what Xu Qingxiao can guarantee is that he will do it well and will not leave anyone with any clues.
Gu Yan was silent again. He looked at Xu Qingxiao, because the words coming out of Xu Qingxiao's mouth felt inexplicably weird.
No one in the world believed that Xu Qingxiao acted in a measured manner.
But if you think about it carefully, Xu Qingxiao is really measured in what he does. He angrily scolded the scholar because Yan Ru was unfair in his actions and made a big fuss in the Ministry of Punishment. It was because the Ministry of Punishment did something wrong in the first place. As for the Prince of Huaiping County, it was even simpler.
He wanted to die himself, threatened Xu Qingxiao in various ways, and killed the one who deserved it.
At that moment, Gu Yan didn't have any hesitation anymore.
"Xu Qingxiao, this is my ministerial order. Zhang Jing dares to give this to you, and I, Gu Yan, dare to give it to you."
"But Xu Qingxiao, you must remember! If you are really for Wei and not seeking personal revenge, Gu will do his best to help you. But if you are just seeking personal revenge, don't blame Gu for falling out with you!"
Who is Gu Yan? Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, sitting in this position is not only thoughtful, but more importantly, courageous.
Xu Qingxiao is not targeting the royal family, but targeting foreign races. This can be done, although there are many forces involved behind it, but so what?
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
What Xu Qingxiao said is absolutely correct. If the Wei Dynasty is gone, it will really be gone. If the alien race is gone, the Wei Dynasty will still be there.
Damn it, how long has it been since you were almost starving to death, yet you want others to be fed? Even if the emperor agreed, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, would not agree.
So after much thought, he agreed. Not only did he agree, but he also handed the Shangshu Order to Xu Qingxiao, giving Xu Qingxiao the greatest support.
"Thank you, Lord Shangshu!"
Xu Qingxiao took over the Shangshu Ling, and now has the Shangshu Ling of the Ministry of Revenue, which is equivalent to the three departments of punishment, military, and household being united into one, obeying his command.
This is a huge power, but what Xu Qingxiao cares about is not this power, but the ability to control the overall situation.
If you want to truly cut off the flesh from the alien race, you must rely on the top and bottom to work together. Once one department does not agree, it will be difficult to handle.
I have to say that Gu Shangshu is quite capable, and he does not lack courage to achieve this position.
"Okay, I won't ask too much about the next thing. I just want to see the results. Once it's done, you can take my position from now on!"
"If you don't do it well, don't say so much in the future."
Gu Yan was also straightforward. He was already old. Xu Qingxiao's new arithmetic shocked him. Now that Xu Qingxiao wanted to contribute to the country, he could not refuse. Of course, the premise of all this was that Xu Qingxiao had to do it well!
"Don't worry, Gu Shangshu, I will resign first."
Xu Qingxiao got up. Now that the household affairs were finished, he had to go to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War.
Only by explaining things clearly can we implement the plan better.
"Shouren, one last question, how long will it take for it to take effect?"
Gu Yan asked.
"Within a month, I will ask the foreigners to pay them obediently, but I will also trouble Gu Shangshu to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to take action and thoroughly investigate all the silver files earned by these foreigners in the past three years. No more or less.
"
Xu Qingxiao didn't say anything too absolute. It would take a month. At the same time, let Gu Shangshu calculate the silver they earned. It doesn't matter if they make a mistake, but they must calculate more and not less.
As soon as he said this, Gu Yan became even more curious. One month to get these arrogant aliens to pay obediently?
He really didn't believe it! As for what Xu Qingxiao explained was not a big deal, that was the daily work of the Household Department.
But just when Xu Qingxiao walked out of the hall, his voice sounded again.
"By the way, Gu Shangshu, if you have nothing to do, continue studying. Not only can you add and subtract, but you can also multiply and divide."
"If it's accurate to a penny, just add a decimal point. You can study it slowly. I'll leave first."
After saying this, Xu Qingxiao left.
But Gu Yan froze on the spot, looking at the white paper, and a large amount of information instantly appeared in his mind.
Multiplication and division? Decimal point?
Gu Yan was very smart. He instantly understood the meaning of Xu Qingxiao's words, but it would take some time to truly understand.
Xu Qingxiao made it clear that she wanted to study arithmetic at the Ministry of Household Affairs to avenge her previous revenge.
Good guy.
Gu Yan didn't know what Xu Qingxiao meant when he suddenly spoke. He could have taught him directly, but instead he just talked casually and left himself to study alone, leaving him with no intention to do other things.
Really vindictive.
At this moment, Gu Yan felt inexplicably that it was really dangerous for Prince Huaining to offend Xu Qingxiao.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ministry of Punishment.
Compared with the deserted situation in the Hubu Department, when Xu Qingxiao arrived at the Punishment Department, there were countless voices.
"Master Xu! Why are you here?"
"Master Xu, what kind of wind brings you here?"
"I have met Mr. Xu."
"Master Xu, okay."
"Master Xu, have you eaten? If not, I will bring you one."
When the officials from the Ministry of Justice who were coming and going saw Xu Qingxiao again, they all greeted him enthusiastically.
Since Xu Qingxiao angrily killed the queen of the county, established the authority of the Ministry of Punishment, and avenged Zhang Shangshu, it can be said that everyone in the Ministry of Punishment has no complaints against Xu Qingxiao at all, and respect Xu Qingxiao from the inside out.
Even the few Yuanwailang who had been slapped were now saying everywhere that they deserved to be beaten. Xu Qingxiao woke them up with a slap, not only did they not feel ashamed, but they were proud of it.
It can be said that Xu Qingxiao conquered the entire Criminal Department with her personality charm.
"it's okay no problem."
"Hello everyone."
"I miss you all."
Xu Qingxiao spoke with a smile. Whoever spoke to him, he would reply, say hello or smile.
After hearing that Xu Qingxiao had arrived, several officials and ministers came out immediately to establish relationships with Xu Qingxiao.
Zhou Nan is also here. He is no longer a file clerk, but has been promoted from a ninth-grade official. Now he is in charge of the case and document treasury. This is a blessing in disguise. The people in the Ministry of Punishment also respect Zhou Nan very much, and everyone knows that he is Xu Qingxiao's
people.
After some simple dealings, Xu Qingxiao walked directly into the inner hall, as if she were coming to her own home.
"I have met Mr. Feng, and I have met Mr. Li."
In the inner hall, Xu Qingxiao bowed her hands towards the two ministers.
Li Yuan nodded, but didn't say anything. After all, he was beaten some time ago and he still couldn't laugh for a while.
But Feng Shilang was different, he greeted Xu Qingxiao very enthusiastically.
"Where is Zhang Shangshu?"
Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but ask when she saw that there was no one in the study room.
"Zhang Shangshu has gone out for a trip. If you have any questions, please tell him directly. I will tell Zhang Shangshu later."
Feng Jianhua laughed.
"Out?" Xu Qingxiao didn't think anything, but walked directly into Feng Jianhua's room and said.
"Feng Shilang, I have something important to do, so I won't stay here. I have something to tell you that is the same as what I told Zhang Shangshu."
Xu Qingxiao lowered her voice and said.
"Oh? Shouren, tell me."
The other party nodded.
Xu Qingxiao took out the Great Neilong Talisman and was about to speak, but in an instant Feng Jianhua immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Xu Qingxiao was a little embarrassed.
But there was no way, he had to use the Ouchi Dragon Talisman to give the order, otherwise, I am afraid that everyone would not realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Here's an order, from top to bottom in the Ministry of Punishment, that within the next month, any cases involving alien businessmen will not be accepted. Even if they are accepted, they will unconditionally favor the aliens. The external reason is very simple: to maintain the prestige of the Wei State, do you understand?"
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
"ha?"
Feng Jianhua was a little stunned. He didn't expect Xu Qingxiao to take out the Great Inner Dragon Talisman and issue such an order?
This kind of order still requires the help of the Great Inner Dragon Talisman? Can't you just ask?
However, Feng Jianhua still said very seriously.
"My lord, take the order."
Feng Jianhua answered seriously.
After receiving the order, Xu Qingxiao took back the dragon talisman and helped Feng Shilang up.
"Master Feng, this matter is very important, but please do not claim to the outside world that it is my order. You know this matter and I know it. At most, I will add Zhang Shangshu, do you understand?"
Xu Qingxiao said extremely seriously.
"Okay! I understand."
Feng Jianhua nodded seriously and took out the Great Inner Dragon Talisman. Then this matter was no small matter and he would definitely not mess around.
"By the way, Mr. Feng, how many times you reject alien cases every day must be written in the file and sent to me."
"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't bother you and say goodbye."
Xu Qingxiao came and left just as quickly, but Xu Qingxiao did not leave the Criminal Department, but went to find Li Yuan.
Send a gold hairpin to Li Yuan.
"Master Li, I have offended you a lot in the past few days. Looking back, I think it was a bit reckless. I bought this for my wife. I hope Master Li will not blame this official."
Xu Qingxiao bought a hairpin on the way here and gave it to Li Yuan, asking Li Yuan to give it to his wife.
It can be regarded as resolving this unnecessary grudge.
When the latter saw this scene, he felt extremely comfortable, but his face still looked very calm.
"It's normal for you to be young, but I accepted this thing not because I am greedy for small profits, but because I don't want there to be any grudges between you and me."
"Okay, go ahead and go. If you have nothing else to do, come to my house and sit down. I have a few cases that I have no clue about. Please help me take a look at them then."
Li Yuan said calmly.
"There are a lot of adults."
Xu Qingxiao smiled and then left the room.
They are all in the same department, especially the Criminal Department. I don’t know how many things will need to be done by the Criminal Department in the future. There is no need for everyone to have a grudge because of some small grudges.
As a human being, you should be more refined.
After doing this, Xu Qingxiao walked straight towards the Ministry of War.
If the household department is a little in awe of Xu Qingxiao.
Xingbu is a happy family.
The Ministry of War felt like returning home in fine clothes.
Yes, returning home in fine clothes.
As soon as Xu Qingxiao stepped into the Ministry of War, countless voices rang out in an instant.
"Look, that's Xu Qingxiao."
"Xu Qingxiao is here."
"Master Xu is actually here?"
"Good guy, is this Xu Qingxiao? She looks white and tender."
"Master Xu, Master Xu, my wife especially likes your Nanyu Pavilion preface. Can you help me put a name on it?"
"Master Xu, I admire you so much, can you give me a name?"
The entire Ministry of War suddenly became noisy. The people in the Ministry of War were quite straightforward, and most of them were people from the military camp. Xu Qingxiao angrily rebuked the scholar, made a fuss in the Ministry of Punishment, and punished Prince Huaiping. There was nothing they wanted to do but did not dare to do.
matter?
Perhaps Qingxiao did it all by himself.
It can be said that most of the military department has a very favorable impression of Xu Qingxiao, and even murmured why His Majesty did not allow Xu Qingxiao to join the military department.
Now that Xu Qingxiao has come to the Ministry of War, he naturally attracts everyone's attention.
Xu Qingxiao did not expect that she would be so popular in the Ministry of War. After being polite with everyone, she finally relied on Jiang Xinyan to rescue her, otherwise she would not even be able to enter the inner hall of the Ministry of War.
"Sir Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of War is discussing something. We need to wait for a quarter of an hour. Please wait a moment."
Outside the inner hall of the Ministry of War, Jiang Xinyan informed Xu Qingxiao that Shangshu was discussing matters and asked him to wait.
"It doesn't matter."
"Is Mr. Jiang recovered from his injury?"
Xu Qingxiao waited patiently and asked about Jiang Xinyan's injury.
"It's healed, it's nothing serious."
Jiang Xinyan replied.
"That's good."
Xu Qingxiao smiled calmly, while Jiang Xinyan remained silent.
But after a while, Jiang Xinyan couldn't help but speak.
"Sir Xu, I heard that you have already established a school, is that right?"
he asked.
"kindness."
Xu Qingxiao replied calmly.
"I wonder if I can pay a visit to Mr. Xu in a few days. Although I am a martial artist, I also understand the benefits of learning. I have just read a lot of books, but I am still not satisfied."
Jiang Xin spoke out.
"Of course you are welcome. If Master Chiang comes here in person, Shouren Academy will be in full bloom."
Xu Qingxiao smiled.
This Jiang Xinyan is the commander-in-chief of one of the Eight Gates of Beijing Soldiers. He is the person with real power in the Ministry of War. It is not a disadvantage to get acquainted with him.
"Well, I'll bother Mr. Xu in a few days. But I have to go out recently, probably next month. I hope Mr. Xu won't blame me."
Jiang Xinyan smiled.
"Serious words."
Xu Qingxiao smiled slightly, and the door of the fashion book opened, and some officials walked out.
Xu Qingxiao didn't say much, got up and walked towards the Chancellor's study room.
After entering the minister's study room, Xu Qingxiao closed the door. No one knew what Xu Qingxiao was doing at the Ministry of War.
But about half an hour later, Xu Qingxiao left the Ministry of War.
Just like that, an order spread throughout the military department.
Strengthen the defense of the capital, increase the number of patrols, and the patrol time cannot be stopped. If you encounter a quarrel between aliens and others, try to favor the aliens as much as possible, take the prestige of the Wei State as the most important thing, and try not to make the matter as big as possible.
This order is not a big deal. This has happened before. For example, envoys from foreign countries came to the Wei Dynasty and issued similar orders for the sake of the image of the Wei Dynasty. It was just not as absolute as this time.
No one knew what Xu Qingxiao was up to.
His Majesty asked Xu Qingxiao to take care of the tax affairs, and Xu Qingxiao went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War. After a busy day, he felt that he had done nothing, which aroused the curiosity of many people.
Noon.
Xu Qingxiao also returned to Shouren Academy after a busy day.
Now that everything has been explained, the next step is to wait for the fish to take the bait.
If you want to create this group of foreigners, you must have a thorough deployment. This group of foreigners is domineering and arrogant in the Wei Dynasty, and there must be someone behind it.
This group of people also saw that people did not have to pay taxes when doing business, so they made profits from it. Xu Qingxiao was absolutely sure that some princes and princes would also be involved.
They are all vampires from Dawei.
So this time I was not only trying to eliminate the blood-sucking insects in Da Wei, but it was also a test.
"Prince Huaining, you must not have anything to do with these aliens. If I find out that you have any connection, and I don't let you have a big bloodshed, my surname will not be Xu."
Xu Qingxiao thought to herself.
He could not find out for the time being whether Prince Huaining had colluded with this group of foreigners, but if he thought about it carefully, he knew that these foreigners must have the confidence to run rampant in the Wei Dynasty.
Xu Qingxiao doesn't care who is behind them.
Xu Qingxiao is concerned about how much money can be collected this time.
A conservative estimate is that there should be 50 million taels of silver, right?
After earning 50 million taels of silver for Wei in one fell swoop, Gu Yan will not be able to support himself as his father in the future?
As for the Empress, she probably looks at herself the same as she looks at Jin Yuanbao, right?
But these are all small things. Once his plan is carried out, the Wei Dynasty will become prosperous and prosperous.
Xu Qingxiao was looking forward to what the empress would think of her.
It's better not to be delicate, because if you don't like the coquettish one, you still like the iceberg coolness.
Why.
If heaven had not given birth to me, it would have been a clear night, and the eternity of the Wei Dynasty would have been like a long night.
Xu Qingxiao walked into Shouren Academy.
At that moment, the aroma of vegetables appeared, which surprised Xu Qingxiao.
Smell the smell and walk into the dining room.
I saw an old man wearing a kitchen robe, bringing up plates of steaming dishes.
Yang Hu and others stood aside and kept swallowing their saliva. Senior brother Chen Xinghe couldn't help but stand aside and watch.
"this?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
"Master Xu, you are back."
"This is our new cook. His craftsmanship is really good. Just smell it."
Yang Hu opened his mouth and couldn't help but praise Li Guangxiao's cooking skills.
"oh."
Xu Qingxiao understood what was going on, and Li Guangxiao, who had finished his work, raised his head and glanced at Xu Qingxiao.
He didn't look at it much, just glanced at it, and then said with a smile.
"Sir, please try my cooking skills. I haven't learned anything. I just figured it out on my own by traveling around. See if it suits your taste?"
Li Guangxiao said with a smile, looking like an honest man.
"You're welcome."
Xu Qingxiao smiled lightly, then sat down and tasted it.
kindness!
Don't tell me, it tastes really good.
"Come, let's eat together."
"By the way, old man, what's your name? Come and eat too, you're welcome."
Xu Qingxiao took a bite and found it very delicious. At the same time, she invited Li Guangxiao to sit down and eat.
"Oh, my name is not nice. Others call me Li Heiyi. Sir, you can call me whatever you want."
Li Guangxiao smiled.
"Li Heiyi?" Everyone was slightly startled, this name is a bit weird.
"Okay, Lao Hei, then I'll just go ahead and do it. I can't afford to give you much with my monthly salary of two taels of silver, but I'll cover it. If you think it's okay, then do it. If not, forget it."
Xu Qingxiao was very casual and called Lao Hei directly.
"Okay, okay, two taels of silver is enough, thank you sir."
Li Guangxiao said with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with the price.
Xu Qingxiao didn't say much, and asked everyone to eat quickly.
Looking at Xu Qingxiao, Li Guangxiao didn't ask anything directly. He planned to stay here for a while and get to know Xu Qingxiao slowly, so there was no need to say anything more.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
Xu Qingxiao cooked five bowls of rice. After eating and drinking, Xu Qingxiao praised Li Guangxiao's cooking skills.
Then I entered the room and started working.
Li Guangxiao took care of the aftermath, and everyone praised him a few times, and then everyone did their own thing.
That's it.
Time passes slowly.
For several days.
Xu Qingxiao stayed at Shouren Academy and never left.
The Ministry of Punishment sends some files every day.
There were four or five volumes at first, and then more volumes were added every day. On the fifth day, fifteen volumes were delivered.
Twenty-three volumes were delivered on the seventh day.
On the ninth day, more than forty volumes were delivered.
By the fifteenth day, hundreds of volumes had been delivered.
Xu Qingxiao watched quietly, reading each volume carefully.
The content of the dossier is also very simple, that is, foreigners are trying to steal or buy and sell by force.
However, Xu Qingxiao didn't have any ideas and put it aside after reading it.
Seventeenth day, one hundred and seventy volumes.
Eighteenth day, two hundred and twenty-five volumes.
Nineteenth day, two hundred and seventy volumes.
On the twentieth day, it has exceeded 300 volumes.
This means that on the twentieth day, three hundred incidents of forced buying, selling, or forcible porcelain by foreigners occurred in the capital of the Wei Dynasty in one day.
These are the cases that have been reported, and no one knows how many have not been reported.
"Sir Xu, Zhang Shangshu asked me to tell you that the people in Kyoto are deeply complaining about the Ministry of Punishment. He asked you how long you want to wait?"
The person from the Ministry of Punishment opened his mouth and asked about Xu Qingxiao.
These days, it seems that the Ministry of Punishment is not paying attention, and the Ministry of War is helping them convert foreigners. This has led to this group of people becoming more and more aggressive and arrogant. In the past, they would buy if they touched it, but now they must buy if they dare to take a second look.
When the matter went to the government, the people were forced to pay, which caused a lot of complaints.
"Tell Zhang Shangshu to wait a little longer."
Xu Qingxiao still said the same thing, and the latter was a little helpless and had no choice but to leave.
Facing the latter's helplessness.
Xu Qingxiao had nothing to do, he had to wait and wait patiently!
Wait for the fish to bite!
Wait for an opportunity!
That's it, until the next day!
The people from the Criminal Department came running in great panic.
"It's not good, it's not good, something big has happened, something big has happened."
"Sir Xu, the common people have surrounded the Xingyang Street government office. Something big has happened."
