This person has always insisted on not taking sides, or in other words, he only sides with the Holy Emperor. He manages the Ministry of Finance, but has never made a high profile. In fact, the status of the Ministry of Finance is comparable to that of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War.
The Jin Department, in charge of Shenxia's resource reserves, has almost the same status as the Household Department in the Lower Realm dynasty, and has almost the same rights, while the Household Department in Shenxia has much smaller rights.
Since Ji Tianxing ascended the throne, the Jin Department has always kept a low profile and has never participated in any battles. This elder has often acted as a mediator, and can even be said to be a transparent person.
But now, he seems to have an attitude toward Ye Wudao and wants to express it.
Ye Wudao bowed to the seemingly kind white-haired old man: "I have met Mr. Ge."
Mr. Ge stroked his white beard and said meaningfully: "The capital city is in your hands. You should be clear about what you should do. The turmoil in Tiancheng is getting higher and higher day by day. The turmoil about the assassin's assassination is increasing.
It hasn’t stopped yet.”
"Some people say that it was you who made Tiancheng uneasy after you came. Of course, I believe that this is just a rumor. It's just that the recent incidents have indeed become more and more frequent day by day."
Ye Wudao thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right, Mr. Ge, let me explain a few words, and I speak more straightforwardly, so I hope you won't be angry."
Mr. Ge nodded lightly: "Just tell me."
Ye Wudao said: "Actually, all the evils left by the predecessors will explode one day sooner or later. For example, for the sake of kingship, not taking action against Xihuang, leading to the rampant evil cultivators in Xihuang, and even having to send troops to solve it."
"This is trouble outside, and there are more troubles inside. I believe Mr. Ge and all my colleagues understand that some things cannot be suppressed. They will appear sooner or later, just one day later and one day sooner."
Mr. Ge frowned: "Can't we do it step by step and slowly?"
"Maybe it's too late, and there will be no cure." Ye Wudao said, "There is still a chance now, and everyone can still be determined, but in the future they may not be able to do so."
"Nonsense!" Someone said in a cold voice: "Ye Wudao, the Holy Majesty gave the Zhendu Mansion to you so that you can use the Zhendu Mansion to do things for the people. It would be better for you. After the Zhendu Mansion has private soldiers, immediately
Attack the Punishment Department!"
"The Ministry of Punishment manages things that are no match for those of your Zhendu Prefecture. Are you doing this to replace the Ministry of Punishment?!"
Someone else sneered: "If you ask me, Mr. Ye just wrote the words "someone and everyone" on his face. If you rely on the trust of the Holy One and have no scruples, what will happen in the future?"
Ye Wudao chuckled and replied calmly: "There is no need to accuse me of any crime. I have touched the interests of some people in the capital city. I am afraid that even if I have done good things, I will be said to be bad.
"
"If you ask me, everything has two sides. I have a clear conscience and I have done good things. The Ministry of Punishment has too many places under its control. There are many places where immortal dollars that should not have been spent were spent, and my town's capital government took over and contracted them on my behalf.
What's wrong?"
The elder Ge's face changed slightly. Ye Wudao's last sentence was the point. The Zhendu government took over the contracting and the price was lower. The people in the Ministry of Punishment were greedy for a lot of money. If this money could
His Majesty will be very happy if it is taken back to the Gold Department.
Just now...
No one can calculate how much revenue will be freed up for the Ministry of Finance.
Mr. Ge looked at the back of the palace, and immediately frowned slightly, knowing that the Holy One might be listening, but he just didn't show up.
As Ji Tianxing's confidant, he naturally wants to do what the Holy One wants, do things for the Holy One, and also ask questions that he wants to ask but doesn't want to say.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Ge calmly asked Ye Wudao: "Ye Shangshu, how much money do you think you can save?"
