Fang Xuanling was a little confused as to whether the focus of his concern was misplaced. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, no matter whether he got it from the cave or not, if he is willing to take it out, the court will give him a platform to display it. The problem of the Ministry of Household Affairs is not small this time. Is there anything wrong with it?"
There are few vacancies, so I once again recommend Huaidao to the household department as the minister."
The household department has one minister, the third rank, and two assistant ministers, the fourth rank below the chief, who are in charge of the world's land and people, the administration of money and grain, the difference in tribute, etc. There are four departments under it, namely the household department, Duzhi, Jin department, and warehouse department.
, each has three inspectors or chief officers, with five grades.
Qin Huaidao only jumped from the fifth-rank official position to the fifth-rank official position, and became the fourth-rank minister from the fourth rank. This span is too big, which shows his love for talents and his heart for the country.
Li Er was also a little moved. From the separation of land rights, to clearing wasteland by land, to working for relief, hiring workers for labor, and now proposing to sell in lieu of taxes to stabilize food prices, every one of them is a talent for managing the world, and his contribution is to the country. Such a great talent
It is indeed appropriate to be placed in the household department, but it is not appropriate if you are too young and promoted too quickly.
After thinking about it, Li Er said sternly: "I agree with your love for you, but if you are more beautiful than Lin Feng, you will be destroyed. If you love me, don't forget that your love has not yet been crowned. If you leave too fast, you may be hated by others."
Fang Xuanling was a little confused for a moment - haven't you been crowned yet?
After thinking about it, it seemed that it was true. Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you are so talented without being crowned, which makes everyone in the world feel ashamed, including the old ministers. In ancient times, there was Ganluo, and now there is Huaidao. This is also a beautiful story."
Li Er had the best reputation and was tempted again. If he could achieve great things with Huai Dao, it would be a good story that would be remembered forever. He thought about it carefully and said: "With Huai Dao's talents, it is most suitable to go to the Ministry of Finance. Wu Tiao
The policy of governing the country is indispensable. The imperial court has always rewarded meritorious deeds and punished delinquents, but it cannot be done now. Remember first, seize the time to sort out the household department and see if there are any vacancies. We can discuss rewards later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"He deserves everything. The method of selling in lieu of taxes is imminent. What do you think?" Li Er asked.
"I think that I can't leave it all to Huai Dao. Warming things are still waiting for him. I'm afraid he will be too busy. I can order the counties in Jingzhao Prefecture to purchase and pay silver on their behalf. I can't default on the people, so as to avoid trouble. Huai Dao's
When people go to pull the goods, the money and goods will be cleared to avoid poor turnover in various counties. After the goods are pulled to Chang'an, the household department will help with the sales. I'm afraid it can't be done by him alone. I have estimated that hundreds of sales points must be arranged to start selling at the same time to avoid the problem.
The queues are too long, causing congestion and other adverse events. The Ministry of Revenue sells the seized grains these days and takes over the shipped grains in a few days, which is just right."
"This is a mature strategy for running a country, it's accurate!"
Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Huaidao wants to borrow the grain merchant's carriage to transport goods and increase the transportation capacity. I suggest that we simply give it to him as compensation, so that the court will not need to provide money subsidies. In addition, we can use it from
The Ministry of Revenue pulled out some carriages to help. The faster the transportation, the more the court can take the initiative."
"allow!"
Li Er was excited. He could hold down the price of food without spending even one tael of silver. This was benevolent and good governance. Moreover, taking money from the treasury to subsidize officials would definitely make all kinds of objections. If the carriage was seized, there would be a lot of room for maneuver.
Already.
As for the workers who sell grain, they have to be paid monthly salary anyway, so what’s the point of selling grain? There is nothing much to do in the winter, and the carriages of the Ministry of Revenue are idle, so why don’t they keep them? Thinking of the strategy of hiring workers instead of labor, I asked:
"My dear sir, may I ask if Huaidao's policy of hiring workers instead of servants can be done without the court paying for it?"
"I deserve to die. I forgot about it when I was so happy. I'll ask you another time." Fang Xuanling said quickly.
"It's okay, don't worry, this guy must have other ideas for running the country. I'll have to talk to him when I have time." Li Er said with a smile, feeling very good.
"I'll go get ready first." Fang Xuanling stood up and left.
…
Supervisory Office.
Qin Huaidao and the other two returned after having a meal outside and chatted for a while. Qin Huaidao found paper and pen and started writing: Jiulixiang, Panax notoginseng, azalea leaves, honeysuckle, dandelion, cork... familiar names emerged one after another.
It was forced to be written down by the instructor during special training in the past. It can save lives when necessary. Now it comes into play.
I wrote down the names of seventeen kinds of Chinese herbal medicines in one breath, noted the portions, and asked Liu Da to drive the carriage to purchase them. I must do what I promised.
Liu Da came back half an hour later. Qin Huaidao made a selection and divided it into two types. One was used for split wounds of the skin and the other was not split. There were differences in the medicines used between the two. He then asked people to find a stone mortar to pound it into an ointment and burn it.
Boil water and gauze ready.
Not long after it was done, more than 400 people pulling the cart came back as requested. Qin Huaidao asked the guards to help wash everyone's wounds with cold boiled water. Without alcohol and other disinfectants, he had to make do, apply ointment, tie it up with gauze, and gave instructions.
With some precautions, I sent everyone back.
In the dead of night, Qin Huaidao asked people to buy cooked food and wine, and invited Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin to come over. With an oil lamp and moonlight filling the window, it was very interesting to let the cold wind blow outside.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Chumo said: "Brother, can you prepare more of your healing medicine and keep it in the Supervisory Office?"
"It's not necessary. You have to make it now. It will break down after a long time." Qin Huaidao said casually, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, his mood calmed down, and he added: "Although this inspection of the grain merchants was abandoned halfway, we have to transport the grain next.
, the guards have to go out to ensure safety on the road. Some of them are busy, so I will take the time to go back and tell my family tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter. If you don't go back for a year, the old man at home won't miss you."
"That's right, as long as I don't cause trouble and don't go back to them to ask for money, my old man would like me to be out there every day." Yuchi Baolin also said.
"You still ask for money from your family?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised.
The two of them lowered their heads in embarrassment. Cheng Chumo smiled bitterly and said, "That salary is not enough, and it's not like you can make enough money to support the Qin Family Village's more than a thousand people. If I had the ability, I would have stopped working long ago."
Qin Huaidao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, there is no need to worry, I will give you a dividend before the end of the year."
"Dividends, what do you mean?" Cheng Chumo asked in surprise.
"Last time we came back from Lingnan Road, didn't we bring back a lot of fairy fruits? They have been sold in the East Market and the sales are pretty good. You can go and have a look when you have time. The settlement was settled before the year and I will give it to you." Qin Huaidao explained, looking towards
Yuchi Baolin: "Baolin, I'll take you with me next time I have the chance."
"Thank you so much, brother. If I had known this, I should have gone with you last time and missed the opportunity to make a fortune." Yuchi Baolin said with some regret.
Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "Baolin, when brothers get the dividends, all the expenses for meals and drinks will be covered by the three of us. It's good to just follow brother Huai Dao. You can get merit and still have money. Last time, I made a thousand dollars by betting on the magic weapon."
"Two, next time I have something good to do, I will definitely bring it with you, brother, to respect you." He raised the pottery bowl with gratitude in his eyes.
"This wine... is bland. Do you two really want to get rich after drinking it?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"I think about it, I think about it so much. When I have money, I will definitely buy a house and move out there, so that I don't have to go back and get beaten up by the old man and get upset." Cheng Chumo said with a depressed look on his face.
Yuchi Baolin's eyes lit up: "Is there any opportunity to make a fortune?"
"There is one, but the three of us brothers are not enough. We need more people. Invite some of your brothers to come together for about six or seven days. Let them find an excuse to go out without being exposed. We will set off the day after tomorrow. We brothers will go and do it.
