Chapter 1866 Two Choices
"good."
Xiao Qi showed a satisfied look and said: "Guan Ning's rotation into the Sixth Department has received a lot of attention because this matter is too important. If Guan Ning passes, he can inherit the throne of Zhenbei. You should know what this means."
"clear."
"So you must not assign him a sinecure. It must be a difficult job that he cannot complete, so that others can be silenced."
"We all know that."
Xue Qing said solemnly: "I have made a detailed plan to deal with Guan Ning's rotation."
"We are going to let him be responsible for calculating the accounts of the household department for the entire year last year."
"Calculate the accounts of the household department for the whole year. Such a heavy responsibility should be given to Guan Ning?"
Xiao Qi looked slightly surprised.
Every year in the middle of the second year, all accounts for the previous year will be calculated.
In fact, it should be completed by the end of the year, but because the accounts department has too many accounts, half a year should be reserved for statistical accounting and then sealed.
This year, first the King of Zhenbei had an accident, the Zhenbei army was mobilized, and the new army was established... There were too many things in the Household Department, and it was impossible to devote all the energy to accounting and statistics. It was delayed. It was supposed to be completed, but the result came out again.
Many officials in the Ministry of Revenue were implicated in the remnants of the deposed emperor, and even the right minister was investigated.
As a result, it was delayed again!
When Xiao Qi supervises the accounts department, he actually has an important matter. He must figure out last year's accounts.
"Actually, we have almost sorted it out. We just asked Guan Ning to do the calculation again."
Zhao Liben said: "This is a big project, and he will definitely not be able to complete it."
"How do I remember that when Guan Ning was taking the eight-course examination in the Imperial College, he got an A-level grade in mathematics, and even attracted a doctor of mathematics to ask for advice?"
Xiao Qi looked calm.
"You must not be careless, what if something unexpected happens again?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Xue Qing said: "I went to the Imperial College to inquire beforehand. The questions asked in the eight-door general examination at that time were actually tricky questions with special algorithms. It does not mean that he is a good mathematician, nor does it mean that he can do the accounting."
"yes."
Zhao Liben also echoed: "Those are the accounts of the household department for the whole year, including the taxes of the thirteen local officials and officials, as well as the expenditures of the various ministries and offices of the imperial court, as well as the amount of surplus and loss. Do you think he can calculate it?"
?”
Xiao Qi understood in his heart.
The entire division of the Household Department has not been integrated for more than half a year, and it is impossible for Guan Ning to do the accounting.
This is indeed a very important assessment item. If Guan Ning is given this task, no one can find fault...
"There's nothing wrong with your accounts, right?"
Thoughts flashed through.
Xiao Qi said: "I came to supervise you just to check if there are any problems. Let me make it clear. I hope that even if you have problems, you will not be found out."
"Don't worry, we don't have any problems."
Zhao Liben looked happy.
How could there be no problem?
There are so many accounts and how much input and expenditure are involved. If we really need to calculate them carefully, how can it be possible to keep them clean?
But since Xiao Qidu said this, he gave them a chance.
Of course Xue Qing understood this and was busy thanking him.
The princes assigned to supervise the six ministries were not randomly chosen, but had deep intentions.
Do you really think Emperor Longjing knows nothing?
Just the deployment you are satisfied with?
That's impossible.
The facts are completely opposite. In order to establish their own status and show their talents, the princes will make drastic reforms after gaining supervisory authority.
When the third prince came to the Ministry of Revenue, he also had an implicit mission, which was to prevent Guan Ning from passing the examination.
In a sense, it is also a blessing.
"Don't worry, our household department will fully cooperate with you."
Zhao Liben immediately expressed his position.
Xue Qing continued: "We only give Guan Ning half a month, and the results will come in half a month. If he can't finish it, then don't expect to get a top grade. The rotation of the following departments will be just a formality.
."
"good."
Xiao Qi said: "Then notify him immediately and let him start as soon as possible. The main thing is to let him leave the household department as soon as possible. This is a plague god."
"clear."
This idea coincides with Xue Qing's.
It seems that everyone feels that this plague god should be sent away as soon as possible...
At this time, Guan Ning was waiting boredly in a class room.
Originally, he wanted to find someone to take him around the household department, but no one paid attention. Everyone's attitude towards him was quite cold. They must have received instructions in advance.
Some are difficult to do. Without cooperation, the work will not be carried out, it will be difficult to achieve merit, and it will be impossible to get an excellent rating.
They won't arrange a sinecure for themselves, right?
Then if you hang around for a month and can't accomplish anything, what else are you doing?
But it's also impossible.
This can easily lead to criticism.
The maximum rotation period is one month and the minimum period is half a month.
In this way, with the exception of the Criminal Department, the five ministries and offices took turns to take charge. Four or five months passed. During this time, the power of the Zhenbei Palace was completely reduced.
Even if he succeeds, he will probably only have a false name but no real power...
The calculation is good, but for Guan Ning, even if it is just a false name, it is still very important...
Just as he was thinking about it, Xue Qing walked in.
He was expressionless and said in a cold voice: "Since the Holy One has asked you to take a rotation in the Ministry of Household Affairs, we cannot ignore it, so we have arranged an important task for you. The degree of completion of this task will also determine your assessment and evaluation.
"
Guan Ning was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Xue Qing to have such a business-like attitude.
Xue Qing continued: "This errand is very important, so time is very tight. I can only give you half a month."
"No problem, please arrange it, Mr. Xue."
Guan Ning responded directly.
I am not afraid that you will make arrangements, but I am afraid that you will not make arrangements.
He doesn't refuse anyone who comes.
"The task entrusted to you is to calculate the accounts, including the taxes paid by the thirteen officials and officials last year, as well as the expenditures of various government ministries, etc..."
Xue Qing explained: "It is required to sort out and calculate detailed data and produce an accurate and clear summary... Don't try to fool us, because we have other calculations and will correspond one by one."
You actually entrusted me with such an important matter?"
Guan Ning was very confused.
"You are a person who has passed the eight-level general examination. This matter is not difficult, right?"
Xue Qing looked at Guan Ning with a sneer.
"If you can't complete it, you can just say so directly, but you have to judge it as a failure."
"Only half a month?"
"right."
"Master Xue is cruel enough."
Of course, Guan Ning knew how difficult this matter was. The entire year's accounts involved 13 government departments across the country, and there were countless messes.
This is definitely a big project, and the time is too short and it is extremely difficult.
Obviously, this is a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
And this is their brilliance, because this work is very important. Through these data, we can probably know the economic status of the entire country.
"You can just say you can't do it."
"Do you think I'll be scared?"
Guan Ning said directly: "If there is any direct arrangement, I will take care of it..."
