According to estimates, after reading this document, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister should call Muchuan over for questioning. By then, Muchuan should be able to succeed with his persuasion.
This was Muchuan's original plan. Unexpectedly, this initial plan was not used at all, and the salary document was approved!
This is good, at least it will save a lot of trouble.
However, Ouyang Bufan was now lying on Muchuan, waving his arms and cheering: "Lord Muchuan is mighty! Colleagues, let us cheer for Lord Muchuan!"
There were nearly a hundred officials in the main hall of Hubu at this time, and the crowd was crowded. When the Minister of Hubu echoed this, everyone also shouted in unison.
"Lord Muchuan is mighty! Lord Muchuan is mighty!"
After all, the success of the salary document this time is largely due to Muchuan's contribution.
However, these people were crying and howling like this, which made Muchuan particularly irritated. Wasn't it because their salary had been increased a bit?
As for being so excited?
Muchuan raised his hand and hit Ouyang Bufan's head hard, causing a "red bump" on his head. Then he glared at the other officials and shouted "Shut up", and everyone was quiet.
Come down.
It seemed that all the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs were very aware of Muchuan's temperament and did not dare to disobey him, so everyone went back to do things honestly without making any noise.
But Ouyang Bufan asked innocently: "Sir, why did you hit me?"
"Of course I have a reason to beat you! I just got a little salary increase, why are you so excited?
Don’t you know the saying ‘Every tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind’?”
"have no idea……"
As a result, when Ouyang Bufan said this, Mo Zhu next to him began to explain the meaning of "A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." In summary, people who are too high-profile will not end well.
Ouyang Bufan rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know what this sentence means! I don't understand why Mr. Muchuan would say this sentence. Does it have any deep meaning?"
"It means so much, you idiots!"
Muchuan glanced at Ouyang Bufan and Mo Zhu, and then began to explain.
This "salary document" has indeed been approved. Needless to say, the news will spread to the entire court soon.
What would other people in the imperial court think if they knew that the Ministry of Revenue had such a higher salary than them?
There will definitely be jealousy! Forget about being jealous, if the officials of the Ministry of Revenue still dare to show off their arrogance, the jealousy will turn into hatred, and then other bureaucrats will attack them.
"That's why I told you not to shine so brightly and keep a low profile even if your salary is increased. Don't cause trouble for me!"
Muchuan warned.
At that moment, Ouyang Bufan and Mo Zhu nodded, saying that they would control the people in the mansion and ask everyone to keep a low profile.
But Ouyang Bufan didn't understand one thing: "There will definitely be no hiding the salary increase for all the Ministry of Household Affairs. Someone will definitely attack us! Like the Minister of the Ministry of War!"
Ouyang Bufan really got to the point right away. Among the six ministries, the one who had the biggest hatred against the Hubu would have to be the Minister of War, Lin Sanshan.
Lin Sanshan has always been against Muchuan, and if he knew about this, he would secretly make things difficult for him.
It's easy to dodge open spears but hard to defend against hidden arrows. If Lin Sanshan makes a move, Muchuan may not be able to resist him.
Fortunately, Muchuan had already thought of a way, and he said with a smile: "So our Department of Revenue should not be too ostentatious, and we also need to send out another message, saying that this document has been approved by the Prime Minister, His Majesty, as a commendation for the outstanding achievements of the Department of Revenue
This is how you get a salary increase!"
"I see, you are indeed Lord Muchuan!"
Ouyang Bufan raised his hands and said in admiration.
If there is a salary increase in the Ministry of Household Affairs in the imperial court, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied. But if this is the intention of His Majesty and Prime Minister, I am afraid that even if there are people who are dissatisfied, they will not take the initiative to raise it. After all, who would be so stupid as to dare to question His Majesty and Prime Minister.
"Brilliant move, Lord Muchuan, what a brilliant move you have!"
Ouyang Bufan chuckled.
Mo Zhu mentioned, "Even this may not necessarily seal everyone's mouths. As time goes by, some ministers will definitely mention this matter. By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two of you, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister."
Muchuan nodded, Mo Zhu is indeed Mo Zhu, he is very far-sighted in thinking about things.
If the matter is delayed a little longer, even if someone is dissatisfied, they may take the initiative to bring it up.
But if that time comes, Muchuan will naturally have a way to deal with it. After all, this salary increase for the Ministry of Household Affairs is just the beginning of "something". There is a more profound issue in this "salary increase"
Planned.
Muchuan chuckled at this moment, his face full of foresight.
"What! It turns out that Mr. Muchuan, you have a deeper plan!"
Ouyang Bufan realized what he was planning and asked Muchuan what he was planning. At least his two right-hand men had to talk about it.
Muchuan simply replied with two words: "Secret!"
At noon the next day, the military camp was stationed in Changan Plain, Gyeonggi Province.
Muchuan sat on the bench, tapped Erlang's leg and asked, "So the wolves are almost all killed?"
"Yes, my lord!"
The speaker was a bearded hunter who was recruited by Ouyang Bufan to hunt down a thousand evil wolves.
In fact, it is almost impossible to hunt down a thousand wolves, not to mention that the total number of "hunting teams" headed by the bearded hunter is only twenty-one.
As for how the hunters killed thousands of evil wolves?
It's very simple, just poison it!
Yes, this was also a strategy that Muchuan came up with. He fed poison to the captive chickens and then placed the dead chickens in places where wolves roamed.
As long as the wolf eats these poisonous chickens, it will naturally die.
Muchuan prepared a batch of poisonous chickens for the hunters to "poison" them everywhere in the complex dense forest to kill the wolves.
It can be seen that the plan was successful and the wolves have been almost wiped out.
Muchuan glanced at Ouyang Bufan at this time and said: "This forest has been sealed off recently, and soldiers have been sent to tell the surrounding villagers not to enter it for hunting, at least for the next month!"
Why was such an order issued?
We are not afraid that innocent people will go hunting and eat poisonous prey.
In addition to wolves, there are also omnivorous wild boars, tigers, and hyenas in the forest.
Given that the forest is vast and rich in resources, villagers often enter to hunt animals. If they accidentally hunt wild boars or tigers that have eaten poisonous chickens, and then unknowingly eat these prey that have eaten poisonous chickens, it will be very difficult for them.
Death will soon follow.
For this reason, Muchuan ordered the forest to be closed and ordered no one to enter for hunting within the past month.
