Muchuan began to look for excuses, but even if he said so, the officials didn't believe it!
The Ministry of Household Affairs has not increased salaries for so many years, and then suddenly it was increased by 30%?
Moreover, officials of the fifth rank and above in the Ministry of Revenue have been raised three times, which is simply ridiculous! No matter how much Emperor Li Shimin sympathizes with the hard work of the Ministry of Revenue, he will never get such a raise!
For this reason, many smart and smart officials have thought that Muchuan must have been the one who got in the way. Since Muchuan has such ability, can he also help other officials do the same?
It was precisely because of this thought that officials came to find him, hoping that Muchuan could help increase his salary.
Jiuqing Zongzheng: "Lord Muchuan, we Ming people don't talk secretly, why don't you help me! I will definitely be rewarded!"
Guozi offered wine: "I have been short of money recently, so I hope Lord Muchuan can help me! This should be a trivial matter to Lord Muchuan!"
Grand Governor: "Shang Shu, the general's salary is also going to be increased. If you help me, we will think of you when there are benefits in the future!"
Various officials came out to speak. Some of them were known to Muchuan, and many were unknown to Muchuan!
Like the tall and thin "Guozi Jijiu" in white robes, he is a third-rank official and is responsible for taking wine and scattering it in the sky and the earth for sacrificial prayers.
Muchuan and the prince had never even met each other, so the other party shamelessly asked him for help?
The key is what benefits can be gained by helping the other party!
There were many people like "Guozi Jijiu", and they all said they wanted to ask Muchuan for help.
The key question is how could Muchuan have so much time to help them?
Even if we can help, can we help?
Muchuan does not have the final say on salary increases!
"Everyone, I really can't help with this matter! Please go back quickly and don't hinder the office of the Ministry of Accounts."
Muchuan said very humbly, and bent down to make a gesture of invitation.
But Muchuan's politeness didn't seem to work. The people in front of him were still noisy and insisted on staying in the Hubu official residence. Some of them were even yelling and cursing!
"Well, you Muchuan, what are you proud of, just as the Minister of Household Affairs?
If I ask you to help, just come and help!"
“Aren’t you raising your salary just to take advantage of the power of the Minister of the Ministry?
Your abuse of power will definitely lead to backlash! Yes, I will impeach you!"
"I want to impeach you too! If you don't help me, Minister of Household Affairs, I will write to the emperor every day to remonstrate with you!"
The officials cursed and even threatened openly!
It's really frustrating. Fortunately, these officials are all high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but now even the butchers on the street are much better qualified than them!
Seeing that there was no other way, Muchuan had no choice but to act cruelly. He waved his hand high and shouted: "Come in, everyone!"
After giving an order, a group of soldiers wearing iron armor ran in from outside the mahogany gate. There were a hundred people in total, holding iron spears in their hands, and they looked very powerful.
At this time, the soldiers came in and faced the officials with their weapons in hand.
The sudden scene made the officials look at each other in shock. What is going on?
Could it be that Muchuan wanted to use a knife or a gun to kill them?
"Mu Chuan, how brave are you?
Do you know what you are doing?
I am the Crown Prince Zhan Shi, and offending me is equivalent to offending the Crown Prince! You must know what is appropriate!"
"Shang Shu, you don't know how to praise me, right?
There are so many of us here, aren’t you afraid that we will unite to impeach you?”
"Shang Shu, if you dare to hurt us, your reputation will be ruined!"
The officials were arrogant and arrogant, as if they were not afraid of what Muchuan would do to them. After all, they did have a large number of people and they all held high positions. If Muchuan dared to do anything to them, it would be equivalent to offending half of the court.
The key is, can common sense be applied to Muchuan?
Muchuan is not afraid of class differences at all, let alone offending powerful officials!
"Come here, drive all these people away!"
"Yes, General!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, the sound was loud, and then hundreds of soldiers moved in order, holding iron spears and forcibly driving the officials out.
The scene in front of me was particularly lively. Those officials who were enjoying themselves were driven away like sparrows. Some people were unwilling to stand outside the door and cursed, while more people left in annoyance.
It was about time for a cup of tea, and the entire Hubu Mansion finally became quiet. In order to prevent anyone from coming to cause trouble again, Muchuan specially ordered a hundred soldiers to guard the entrance of the mansion, guarding the mansion like a Haechi guard.
Ouyang Bufan ran over with admiration at this time, grabbing Muchuan's arm sleeves with both hands: "Sir! Sir! As expected of you, you are so brave, you can actually drive away those annoying guys, you are so handsome
ah!"
After Ouyang Bufan's words, nearly a hundred household officials in the official residence also shouted in unison: "Master Muchuan is handsome, Master Muchuan is brave and courageous, he is indeed a role model for us!"
Listening to the flattery of these people, Muchuan felt unhappy. He didn't learn much from these small household officials. Instead, he learned a lot about flattery from Ouyang Bufan.
"Okay! You all go back to your posts. You have to work hard to earn your salary and support your job!"
Muchuan transformed into a modern domineering president, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered all the small officials to go back to work.
But at this moment, a figure hurriedly ran in outside the door of the official residence. The one who was furious was Mo Zhu himself!
"Sir, Lord Muchuan!"
Mo Zhu flew over, panting.
Muchuan was startled when he saw Mo Zhu's appearance, so he stepped forward to help him and asked, "Mo Zhu, what are you doing?
Could it be that he was in a hurry to reincarnate?
Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Sir, how dare you say this? What were you doing just now?"
"ah?
What did I do?
I didn’t do anything!”
After Muchuan said that, he glanced at Ouyang Bufan innocently, wanting to see if Ouyang Bufan knew why Mo Zhu was so anxious.
Ouyang Bufan shrugged and asked, "What happened to Mo Zhu?"
Mo Zhu had no choice but to talk about what he had just encountered.
It turned out that Mo Zhu had just been coordinating the issuance of national bonds in Chang'an City, and when he came back, he happened to meet a group of officials outside the official residence of the Ministry of Revenue.
Many of the officials were familiar with Mo Zhu, and they just chatted with them. As a result, they learned that these officials actually planned to write a letter to impeach Muchuan!
"So Lord Muchuan, what happened?"
Mo Zhu asked, he only knew that a bunch of people wanted to impeach Muchuan, but he didn't know why.
Muchuan winked at Ouyang Bufan, and as a "tool man" Ouyang Bufan began to explain the situation.
