Chapter 1567 The careful thoughts of the Ministry of Households
After a pause, Li Xingchen then said: "In addition, I know what you are worried about, and I also promise that in the future, all matters must be discussed with the Sixth Department first, and will never be changed at will, but it must be included in your budget.
Set aside an appropriate amount of money to deal with emergencies. If someone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, I will offend others. We may not take the initiative to cause trouble, but it does not mean that others will not provoke us, so we leave room for it.
It’s always good.”
Zong Yuanrao and Chen Shushen responded in unison.
What Li Xingchen said means that the Ministry of Household Affairs will have greater autonomy in financial expenditure and scheduling, and will also be able to decide the amount of allocations to various departments to a greater extent. This will enhance the status of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
good idea.
Although the six departments are tied together, they actually have different rankings. The Ministry of Rites is the head of the six departments. That’s because the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the affairs of the world of etiquette and law. To put it nicely, it is the administrator of the laws of the ancestors, but to put it worse, it is the administrator of the laws of the ancestors.
They are basically just helping the masters dance, so although they are noble, they don't have much actual power. The most they can do is use their words.
Among the other departments, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce each have their own areas of responsibility, and other departments cannot interfere with their affairs. They also do not have much relationship with other departments. They are more like two independent individuals, so the real ranking is based on seniority.
That is to say, the remaining Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Among them, although the Ministry of Personnel has always been inconspicuous, it controls the promotion and changes of officials inside and outside the entire court, so it has always been considered to be the only one among the six departments.
Second to the existence of the Ministry of Rites, corresponding transfers from other departments to the Ministry of Personnel are also considered to be rightward migration.
After all, there is nothing better than being an official.
This has made the Ministry of Household Affairs worry about it for a long time. After all, without us paying for it, what do you, the Ministry of Personnel, mean? What can you do now that you have no money?
Now that there is finally an opportunity, the Ministry of Finance naturally plans to take this opportunity to take the second position in the Sixth Department. If nothing else, the right to speak will be much greater.
Of course, Li Xingchen has noticed the little thoughts of the Ministry of Revenue. Otherwise, formulating economic budgets and formulating emergency plans are not easy tasks, and it is very likely that a large number of people will be offended due to uneven distribution.
If it weren't for the real benefits, Chen Shushen might be okay, but the old guy Zong Yuanrao would definitely oppose it with all his strength.
After all, it is time for him to return the money without refunding. If he offends a group of people at this time but does not get any benefits, but even needs to rack his brains for it, then Zong Yuanrao will definitely not do it, and if he can do it
After this happened, Hu Bu's status was greatly improved. Even if he offended a group of other people, Hu Bu would definitely be extremely grateful to Zong Yuanrao, who was at the front.
In the officialdom, who doesn’t have a bunch of enemies? As long as there are more people in front of and behind one who are grateful to oneself, then what does it matter if there are enemies?
"We must make a plan." Li Xingchen emphasized again.
These guys can't just think about fighting for power and profit.
It is inevitable for ministers to fight for power and gain, and Li Xingchen can't control it even if he wants to. He only needs to be responsible for controlling this kind of thing within a certain range. They should do what they should do without making any mistakes.
"Especially since the imperial court will still make big moves in recent years, the treasury cannot be left empty and nothing can be taken out." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Zong Yuanrao and Chen Shushen both shook their heads and agreed at the same time.
Big move. Now that the imperial court has eliminated the enemies in the south, it is easy to know that the remaining big move will definitely be an all-out war with the Yu Wenxian regime in the north. This is the big move that the Han Dynasty has been holding back for these years, but
It is conceivable that after stabilizing the south, His Majesty the Emperor, who is so talented and resourceful, will definitely not sit back and watch Yu Wenxian's happy life in the north.
In recent years, the Han Dynasty's attention has been on the south, and there is almost no pressure on Yu Wenxian in the north. He even took the initiative to send out cavalry to test the defenses of the Han army in Hetao. However, Han Qinhu hit him head-on unceremoniously and lost hundreds of cavalrymen.
The rest of the troops retreated in embarrassment. Although both sides claimed it was a misunderstanding and thought they were Turks outside the Great Wall, this was nothing more than deception.
The Turks on the grassland have long since failed to recover. It may be more credible to say that they are the Tiele people. However, the Tiele people, mainly the Xueyantuo tribe, experienced the capabilities of the Han army in the last battle of Hetao.
They also had no intention of competing with the Han army. The Xueyantuo people, who had just become serfs and became masters, now just wanted to live their own lives and recharge their batteries.
After suffering a loss, Yu Wenxian realized that the Han Dynasty was not so easy to mess with. Even if the army went south, there were still many elites staying in the north, so he simply gave up and could only strengthen the defense of the passes in various places. He could live day by day.
Yu Wenxian even dispatched many soldiers and horses to explore north and northeast, probably planning his own escape route.
After a brief period of peace, there must be a violent storm.
But now I'm afraid even Li Xingchen himself can't decide when the war will start. Now the big men can only prepare for it at all times. In addition, even if a war is really decided, it will be a state secret, at least it cannot be used in the economic budget.
Reflected.
In this regard, the Household Department does not dare to make any mistakes. If the Household Department cannot come up with the money after the war breaks out, then everyone in the Household Department must be careful.
Li Xinchen walked along the corridor through the Imperial Garden.
Spending the whole day worrying about Dahan's financial affairs made him very tired.
"Your Majesty, drink some water," Yang Miao emerged from nowhere with some grass clippings on her clothes. The maids behind her were holding a pot in their hands, "How does it taste?"
Li Xingchen took the bowl and took a sip, half-convinced: "It's cool and a little sweet, what does this come from?"
"This is the heat-relieving soup just prepared by Taiyuan Hospital. It is cooked with several medicinal herbs to harmonize the breath." Yang Miao said with a smile.
You don't need to think about it to know that she must have been helping the hospital sort medicinal materials just now.
Naturally, Yuchi Chifan and the others would not let this little girl go to a volunteer school or anywhere, as they were not afraid of causing trouble. However, there was a lack of someone to watch over the hospital, so she and Chen Xuanhua were decisively kicked over and put on duty.
Naturally, Taiyuan Hospital does not need to be watched by the dignified harem concubines, and there are still two of them. Although these two have never been very reliable, the main reason is because Taiyuan Hospital is now responsible for dispensing medicines for the pharmacy in Jiankang Mansion.
These medicines are not important medicines, they mainly help people to regulate their health, such as this Jieshu Decoction.
According to the plan, when the weather is hot, the pharmacy will prepare summer-relieving soup and distribute it for free or for a nominal fee. This is also the first step for the concubines of the harem to use the money of the imperial family to participate in the pharmaceutical industry.
