Lin Junran also stood under the scorching sun, and looked serious in front of the officials: "I have worked with you for more than a year. I will step down this time, so I have a few words in my heart that I want to nag you!"

As soon as this was said, the officials nodded and said they could listen with scruples.

God seemed to be selling Lin Weiran aside. A cloud floated across the sky to cover the scorching sun, making this huge courtyard no longer suffer from the torment of the scorching sun.

Lin Qingran's eyes were clear and immediately delivered an impromptu speech: "When I first took office, I was both moved by the heavy kindness and knew that this position was very important, so I was extremely strict with you and threatened to transfer or dismiss you. These practices were not done by a gentleman, and I hope you can forgive me!"

At the end, he solemnly gave a gift and expressed humility to all the officials present.

this……

Ma Sen and the officials of the Thirteenth Division couldn't help but look at each other. They never expected that Lin Jun, who had already joined the cabinet and became prime minister, would apologize to them solemnly for this matter.

After Lin Junran gave his tribute, he changed his tone and said, "This is the humility expressed to you by me, but it is not the mistake of my actions! You can also see the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty's finances, but you cannot decide if you are united! Now that the foreigners are peeking at each side, there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters in all directions, and the grain in Taicang is consumed on the nine sides, and the finances are still less in and out. Now that I am leaving office, I still hope that you can be strict with yourself and focus on the affairs of each department! One is worthy of the holy grace and the other is worthy of the people. This is the ethics of our Ministry of Revenue officials!"

"The official is in mind the teachings of the Lord of the Hall!"

Ma Sen and the Thirteenth Division officials heard these bitter words and solemnly bowed to Lin Qingran.

Earlier, they were harsh or resentful to Lin Xuran, but with the shocking data brought by statistics and the efforts made by Lin Xuran to improve the Ming Dynasty's finances, they developed a sense of admiration for Lin Xuran.

Not to mention the "unlucky book" he advocated, just the Chongwenmen taxation, the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau and the Salt Administration, he felt more and more that Lin Weiran was the one who really wanted to save the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that after Lin Weiran's "training" over the past year, they also like such a fulfilling way of doing things, because they find all the meaning of doing things.

Now when Lin Weiran mentioned the ethics of the Ministry of Revenue officials, when he thought of the changes over the past period of time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as an official of the Ministry of Revenue.

While the other five yamen were busy, although their Ministry of Revenue officials worked hard and worked overtime, they were really people who were doing things.

Lin Qingran did not want people to leave, but wanted to leave his mark on the Ministry of Revenue. Now it seems that the effect is better than he imagined. He showed a little smile on his face, and continued to talk and said: "I have worked with you for more than a long time. I know that you are all talented and knowledgeable. Fortunately, I have received help from you to rebuild the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, rectify the salt affairs and sort out the grain collection matters, so that the Ming Dynasty's finances can be increased and reduced. Now the financial situation has been achieved, and the emperor has been promoted to the cabinet and is a senior minister of Wenyuan Pavilion! This is what I deserve, but Lin is so ashamed of his own enjoyment!"

"Lord Zhengtang is humble!"

"Xiaguan and others are just doing their best!"

"The Lord of the main hall has made great contributions and should join the cabinet to worship the minister!"

...

Ma Sen and the officials of the Thirteenth Division heard that Lin Junran was so humble and polite to them. Although they were very happy, they shook their heads and said that they had not done much.

In fact, they also knew in their hearts that although they had put in a lot of effort, they all completed it under Lin Qinran's overall leadership, and Lin Qinran was the number one hero who did these things.

Even if the Chongwenmen's feat of taxing 100,000 taels was the credit of Hai Rui, the head of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Revenue, who was unable to enter the country, but without Lin Qingran's arrangement and pressure, how could a head of a juren really stop those related households?

Lin Qingran knew the importance of selling people's hearts and continued frankly: "Although I left the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue is related to the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, you must not slack off. The Ministry of Revenue handles money and grain, not only should you keep yourself clean, but you should also do your part seriously and responsibly! The Ministry of Revenue has no worries about money and food, so that the Ming Dynasty will be worry-free, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is the way to a prosperous era. As a result of resigning from office, I encourage you to be focused on practice in the future, seek profit for the country, make wealth for the people, and live a peaceful and prosperous life!"

In the end, he gave a deep gift and instilled the concept of doing things for the people into these officials, and also recruited more officials to join the reformist camp.

"Tongmeng!"

When Ma Sen and the Thirteenth Division officials heard Lin Qinran's words, they were once again deeply impressed by the old minister with noble character, and then returned the gift to Lin Qinran and agreed.

Everyone is a person who has read the books of sages and becomes an official, and since childhood, he has been forced to have an ambition to do things for the country and the people. Although most of the courts are now inclined to the enemy, Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the dynasty, is famous for not doing practical things, but Lin Qingran is like a bright lamp in this dark officialdom.

But not only the more than 300 officials in this courtyard, but also the officials who had been squatting outside the wall sighed and admired the noble character of the new cabinet master.

As these officials left, news about Lin Weiran's promotion also spread rapidly from here.

The Ministry of Personnel, the Left Minister’s Office.

Gao Gong, wearing a third-rank official uniform, walked back and forth in the hall, looking very anxious.

Mao Kai was sitting next to him drinking tea, feeling a little nervous. If Lin Shiran had not been transferred to the Ministry of War as rumored, then Gao Gong would not have the chance to seek the Ministry of Revenue, and he naturally had no chance to get the Ministry of Revenue.

This is true in the officialdom. Only when the people in front of them move can they have the opportunity to take a step forward. Just like Xu Jie, they waited for ten years as the second assistant before they had the opportunity to become the chief assistant.

The servant ran in panting, but he ran too fast just now and couldn't get angry for a moment.

Seeing this, Gao Gong ignored the situation of the servant, but rushed forward and asked anxiously: "Has Lin Ruoyu been transferred to the Minister of War?"

"Yes... I've been transferred to the Minister of War, but..." The servant hurriedly responded, but he was too dry and could not finish his words in one breath.

Mao Kai no longer cared about pretending to be calm, but he hurriedly asked: "What else? Could it be that Lin Ruoyu still retained the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

For both of them, the worst case is that Lin Qingran holds two positions, so he and Gao Gong can only stay in their current position obediently.

When the servant heard this, he immediately shook his head firmly.

Gao Gong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this answer. As long as Lin Qingran gave up his position, he could obtain the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and even "overtake" Lin Qingran.
Chapter completed!
