The first thousand one hundred and twenty-nine chapters Ministry of households (2)
Sheng Hong carefully selected the Ministry of Household Affairs for A Luo. Firstly, the Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of money, grain, taxes and taxes, which was the top priority among the six departments. Secondly, the Minister of Household Affairs, Xiao Shangshu, was the first among the six important ministers to surrender. Since he ascended the throne more than ten years ago,
To this day, Shangshu Xiao has always been loyal and reliable.
In terms of closeness, Xie Jun from the Ministry of Rites is A Luo's direct maternal grandfather, so of course he is closer to her.
Sheng Hong arranged for Brother Ji to join the Ministry of Etiquette to study as an errand. The meaning is worth pondering and pondering.
The official offices of the six ministries are located on both sides of the Royal Street, which is quite close to the palace. The official offices are solemn and majestic, and all the people coming in and out are officials from the court and the central government. Ordinary people dare not approach them at all.
The limelight of several princes was snatched away by Princess Duanrou today.
There are more than sixty officials in the Ministry of Revenue from top to bottom. Led by Xiao Shangshu, the officials are arranged behind Xiao Shangshu from high to low according to their respective official positions.
No matter how dissatisfied the officials of the Household Department were in their hearts, they all showed respect on their faces: "We sincerely welcome the princess."
A Luo smiled slightly: "You are all exempt from courtesy."
After the officials stood up straight, A Luo did something that surprised everyone.
"Xiao Shangshu, from today on, I will come to the Ministry of Revenue every day. I am causing a lot of trouble."
"Shilang Yu, Shilang Zhao, please give me some advice in the future."
"Mr. Fang..."
Starting from Xiao Shangshu, A Luo greeted them one by one. The names and official positions of more than fifty household officials were all correct!
All the officials in the Ministry of Revenue were shocked.
In the past year, Princess Duanrou almost never spoke in the Jinluan Palace. The ministers gradually adapted to her presence, and they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, "Her Royal Highness is nothing more than this".
Unexpectedly, Princess Duanrou showed off her talents as soon as she entered the household department today.
Xiao Shangshu was also a little surprised and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess has an admirable memory."
Memorizing more than fifty names is nothing. However, being able to match the facial features of everyone one by one is very impressive.
A Luo glanced at the faces of the officials with different expressions, and smiled slightly: "I have been serving pen and ink in the Yiqing Palace for a year, and I am quite familiar with Xiao Shangshu and Yu Shilang Zhao Shilang. Last year, I entered the Jinluan Palace to listen to politics, and every time
During the big court meeting, I took note of the appearances of all the officials in the court, but I didn’t do it intentionally.”
The implication is that after joining the other five departments, she can also call all the officials by name, which is not unusual.
Xiao Shangshu was a seasoned official, and it was impossible to tell from his face what he was thinking in his heart. The faces of the officials with less seniority and younger age showed a hint of respect.
It is not easy to remember all the more than 400 officials in the capital, big and small. Even if they have been officials in the court for several years, they may not be able to do it. Princess Duanrou has only been in the court for one year, and she has remembered everyone.
This kind of intention is something that no one can help but respect.
…
After A Luo showed her talent for a while, she said no more and followed Xiao Shangshu into the official office.
The Household Department may not be the most important of the six departments, but it must be the busiest place. Every day, various accounts are calculated, and officials who come to withdraw money and food are dealt with in various ways. They are all so busy that they wish they could have wings under their ribs and wind in their feet.
.
As the chief official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Xiao Shangshu is naturally very busy.
At the beginning, Xiao Shangshu opened his mouth to explain or make a point or two from time to time. Later, he was too busy to open his mouth.
After these two years of experience, Ah Luo has become so calm that she hardly looks like a teenage girl, and she is also quite calm. She is neither impatient nor impatient. She doesn't rush to ask questions when she doesn't understand. She just uses her eyes to see and her ears to listen.
When it was noon, A Luo couldn't stay in the government office any longer, so she went back to the palace to have a meal and rest for half an hour. In the afternoon, she came to the Ministry of Revenue again.
After the first day, A Luo reported her experience to her father and mother: "Father, emperor, mother, and household department are actually like a small court. Xiao Shangshu is only one person. Even if he is born with three heads and six arms, he cannot personally ask questions about everything.
.”
"Therefore, all specific affairs are handled by officials with four duties, and Minister Yu and Zhao also perform their respective duties. Shangshu Xiao grasps the big ones and lets go of the small ones, but he does not just let them go. His eyes are like a torch, and whenever he opens his mouth, he grabs them.
He will correct the omissions and reprimand those who have neglected their duties with good reason and evidence so that they will not dare to raise their heads."
Speaking of this, A Luo couldn't help but smile and praise: "In the past, I always felt that Xiao Shangshu was stingy, and the treasury was often empty and there was no money. Only today did I realize how powerful Xiao Shangshu is."
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Being a minister means you are naturally unique. As for Xiao Shangshu's ability, you just have to learn it slowly."
A Luo smiled and responded.
Xie Mingxi also opened her mouth to point out to A Luo: "You should study with Xiao Shangshu for a while. Once you are familiar with the household department, you might as well go to the four departments and have a round."
"The purpose of letting you join the Household Department is to familiarize yourself with all the affairs of the Household Department. Put down your dignity and go see how ordinary officials do their jobs."
"The so-called piercing gaze cannot be learned in a day or two. If you want to make a difference and make people surrender, you must have real abilities and abilities. Only in this way can you defeat them."
A'luo has heard a lot of teachings like this in the past two years, and she solemnly nodded in agreement.
…
After talking about the business, Xie Mingxi changed her tone and suddenly started joking: "I heard that an official document was sent to the Ministry of Finance from the Hanlin Academy today. Did your Royal Highness see the person who sent the official document?"
Brother You entered the Hanlin Academy to study, and he has no specific official position yet. However, the head of the Hanlin Academy is his biological father, and Princess Duanrou is his fiancée. Brother You volunteered to "send official documents", and no one would be ignorant.
Fight with him.
The unmarried couple, who pretended to be public and private, met openly and openly, and felt happy.
When Xie Mingxi said this, Ah Luo, who had always been upright and generous, blushed at the teasing and yelled "Queen" coquettishly.
Xie Mingxi smiled.
Sheng Hong glanced at his daughter, whose face was full of peach blossoms, and felt sour in his heart, and he snorted softly.
My father is so narrow-minded and jealous.
A'luo has long been used to coaxing others, so she opened her mouth and said: "In a daughter's heart, the father is the most important. No one can replace the father's position."
I finally made my father smile.
Xie Mingxi smiled and rolled her eyes at Sheng Hong: "Look at you, even at your age, you are still competing with your future son-in-law. You are not afraid of being laughed at if the news spreads."
How old?
Sheng Hong was shocked and sad, and looked at Xie Mingxi in disbelief: "I am obviously in my prime, in my prime, handsome and graceful. You actually dislike me?"
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Sheng Hong touched the beard that was specially grown on his mouth and made up his mind: "I will shave off my beard later to reveal my unparalleled handsome face, so as not to be disliked by you for looking old and yellow."
Xie Mingxi couldn't stop laughing, stretched out her hand to touch Sheng Hong's face, and laughed softly: "I just made a mistake. In fact, in my heart, you will always be as handsome as you were when you were young."
A Luo: "..."
A Luo was so numb that she had goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly ran away.
