Jing Heng came out of the room shrunken, and happened to meet Sun Hongyan coming home with a dark face.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
When Jing Heng saw Sun Hongyan, he stretched out his neck.
Sun Hongyan cursed: "Now the whole capital is talking about that bitch Bai Qiulian and your father..."
Sun Hongyan was halfway through but didn't dare to say anything. The last time she surrounded Li Junjun in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jing Tianlie gave her a severe lesson and forbade her from talking about this matter again.
Jing Heng was helpless and said: "Mom, forget it, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Look at that dead eunuch. He sleeps with the princess every day, and there are several female generals accompanying him..."
Sun Hongyan was very angry and didn't know how to refute, so she finally sighed: "Forget it, whoever made your father so capable is all because of that bitch Bai Qiulian."
"Why don't you go to the Ministry of Husbandry? You become the Minister of Finance again. Hurry up and count the money in the Ministry of Husbandry. I heard that the Ministry of Husbandry is very rich now."
Jing Heng said: "I'm about to go."
Sun Hongyan urged: "Go quickly, your father wants money to raise soldiers."
Jing Heng called to Tang Wei's group and got on the sedan chair himself, while Tang Wei pretended to be a tiger and used the power of a tiger to clear the way.
It was a snowy day and there were not many pedestrians. People on the street who knew Tang Wei were talking privately, guessing that the man in the sedan was Jing Heng, who was going to take up a post at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"I heard that Long Chengen is doing business with the world, and the household department is extremely rich. The Jing family can be greedy again this time."
"Hey, people used to say that Jingtian Lie was the pillar of the country, but now it seems that he is the moth of the country."
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"
The sedan entered the household department. Jing Heng got out of the sedan and wandered into the main hall to sit down. There were many things belonging to Long Chen inside.
Jing Heng sat down and said, "I took office, why didn't you come to see me?"
Tang Wei immediately called the people from the yamen to come in and meet the new chief officer.
Duan Shuangshuang, the minister of household affairs, came in with the officials.
Jing Heng looked Duan Shuangshuang up and down. She was dressed in mink fur, with light makeup and an elegant temperament. She was a virtuous beauty.
Jing Heng knew that Duan Shuangshuang belonged to the empress, so even though he was lustful, he didn't dare to do anything.
"Shilang Duan, where are the people before me? Why are they all new?"
When Long Chen was at the Ministry of Household Affairs, he borrowed more than a dozen good people from Di Yuwei, and all those who didn't do anything were fired.
"Back to your lord, the person was replaced when Long Shangshu was here."
Duan Shuangshuang answered truthfully.
Jing Heng snorted coldly: "Now I have returned to the household department, summoned all the people from the past, and fired all the current people."
There was a sudden commotion among the officials in the room.
Almost all of these people are outstanding officials selected by Long Chen, and they have very strong business abilities.
Tang Wei scolded: "Quiet! Why are you making any noise? Get out if you make any more noise!"
Duan Shuangshuang bowed to Jing Heng and said, "I understand."
After saying that, Duan Shuangshuang turned around and left the room, followed by other officials in the room, leaving only Jing Heng and Tang Wei.
Tang Wei watched this group of people leave and immediately became anxious: "Sir, are you all gone?"
Jing Heng was also confused. He didn't expect Duan Shuangshuang to leave too?
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Get all the people from the past back. I don't believe I can't control the household department."
Then he pointed at the things in the room and shouted: "Throw all his things out and get my old bonsai back."
Tang Wei wanted to find someone to move things, but when he got outside, he found that even the handymen had left.
"These turtle grandsons are so disrespectful to the young master."
Tang Wei cursed and went to find his former subordinates.
Half a day later, the household department became lively again. Jing Heng's old subordinates returned and gathered in the room to congratulate Jing Heng.
"Mr. Liu, how much money does the household department have now?"
Jing Heng asked a short, fat man who was originally the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Manager Liu replied: "More than 9 million taels."
Jing Heng was beaming with joy: "This damn eunuch is so capable that he can actually make so much profit."
Manager Liu said: "Sir, we can't touch these silver coins for the time being. The most important thing now is to get in touch with Tianxiahui and Long Gang. The business there is the biggest profit of the Ministry of Accounts."
Jing Heng thought it made sense. The reason why the Household Department made so much money was because Long Chen was doing business with the Tianxiahui and the Long Gang.
If you want to take complete control of the household department, you must establish a connection with Tianxiahui and Longgang.
"That makes sense. Which of you will go?"
Jing Heng glanced at the people below.
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to answer.
Manager Liu said: "My lord, in the past Long Chengen personally contacted me, but this matter has to be done personally."
Jing Heng thought about it. Big customers like Tianxiahui and Long Gang must be controlled by themselves.
"Okay, please keep an eye on the household department. I will go to Sifang Building and Qianlong Hall."
Tang Wei prepared the sedan chair and took Master Liu to the Sifang Hall first.
Arriving in front of the Banyue Tower, Tang Wei approached the steward arrogantly and said that the new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue wanted to see the owner of the building.
The steward went in to report, and Jing Heng was waiting in the sedan chair.
After a long time, the steward came out and said, "Sorry, our host is not available."
Tang Wei became angry and scolded: "We, Lord Shangshu, are here to visit us in person. You say you don't have time?"
The steward laughed and said: "Don't mention a minister, even if your empress comes in person, our host will not be free."
Tang Wei was furious, Jing Heng got out of the sedan, looked at the steward arrogantly, and said coldly: "I am the new Minister of Household Affairs. If your landlord is so busy, then our Household Department will only do business with the Long Gang."
Jing Heng knew that Tianxiahui had made a lot of money through Hubu, and Tianxiahui could not do without Hubu.
Tang Wei relied on his strength and scolded: "Did you hear that? We won't give you jade lipstick or moonlight cream in the future. You won't be able to make money in the future."
The steward was stunned and stayed there for a long time without coming back to his senses.
Jing Heng thought that the manager was frightened and said coldly: "I am tired today. Please ask your landlord to come to the household department to see me."
Jing Heng turned to leave, but the manager suddenly said: "Our Sifanglou's goods always come from the Ministry of Industry, what does it have to do with your Ministry of Accounts?"
Long Chen is in charge of both the Work Department and the Household Department. Xu Ming from the Work Department has always been responsible for production and production, while the Household Department is only responsible for accounting.
Now that Long Chen has resigned as Minister of Household Affairs, all relations have been transferred to the Ministry of Works, so Jing Heng's threats are of no effect.
The steward looked at Jing Heng like he was looking at an idiot...
Only then did Jing Heng realize that the household department he took over was an empty shell.
"you..."
Jing Heng was almost furious, but there was nothing he could do.
The world will have a transcendent status, not to mention their Jing family, not even the empress can do anything about it.
"Master, let's go back and think of a solution."
Jing Heng got into the sedan, and Tang Wei snorted coldly and followed the sedan back to the household department.
The steward sneered, entered the backyard, and saw the building owner Hong Qi.
"People are gone?"
"He left, looking very angry."
Hong Qi smiled and said, "Who do you think can win in a fight between Master Long and the Jing family?"
The steward said: "Didn't the host already place a bet?"
Hong Qi laughed and said: "Jing Tianlie seems to have the upper hand, but he is being plotted at every step. It seems that the Jing family is going to be doomed."
