Chapter 104 East palm born, west palm dead
The fragrance that usually lingers in his nose suddenly disappeared, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. After he packed up, Xiao Lingyao walked in from outside. Seeing Qin Feng dressed up, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds.
Qin Feng was wearing a long blue dress with wide sleeves and a translucent gauze coat today. This dress should be inappropriate, but Qin Feng was slender and had a bit of a bamboo smell. When he waved his sleeves, he floated his gauze coat, and this person seemed to be flying immortals.
Bai Qian found that the princess was fascinated by the princess's consort and couldn't help but be surprised. When did her master lose his mind? However, the princess's outfit is indeed beautiful. She coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, today is the Imperial Merchants Conference."
"It is common to meet with the Royal Merchants of the Interior Department. It is just that your son-in-law is participating in the role of the Royal Merchants for the first time."
Xiao Lingyao walked to Qin Feng and looked up and down: "The prince consort put a lot of thought into it today."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise."
Xiao Lingyao pretended to be surprised, covered her mouth with her palm slightly and said, "Tsk, I only said that the prince consort used a lot of thoughts, but I didn't praise you."
Qin Feng was speechless for a moment. This princess was too naughty...
When he found that Qin Feng, who had always been calm, had his face changed, Xiao Lingyao chuckled: "The prince-in-law met with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the rest of the imperial merchants for the first time today. I was also worried, so I made some preparations and came forward."
Bai Qian picked up a few pieces of paper and handed it to Qin Feng. The handwriting on it was as beautiful as a fly, which was a small fly style with a handsome pen.
The words on it are various details of the Office of the Internal Affairs. Judging from the handwriting, the handwriting is still fragrant and the handwriting is as new as it is. If you stretch out your hand, you will definitely be able to wipe out the ink marks.
The Office of Internal Affairs is an independent institution in the palace, mainly managing affairs of all sizes and big things in the palace.
The number of people is several times higher than that of the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is divided into seven departments and three hospitals.
The seven departments are Guangchu Department, Duyu Department, Zhangyi Department, Accounting Department, Construction Department, Qingfeng Department, and Shenzheng Department.
The third courts are Shangsiyuan, Wubeiyuan and Fengchenyuan, which are the governing bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Five prefectures and six ministries, Seven Divisions and Three Courts, the east is the head of life, and the west is the head of death." Qin Feng held these pages of paper in his hand and blurted out: "Seven Divisions and Three Courts are also in charge of life. Among these Seven Divisions and Three Courts, the Guangchu Department Bar is the one who deals with the imperial merchants the most."
Xiao Lingyao was not surprised that Qin Feng knew about the Seventh Division and Third Courts. First, he was born in the Taifu Mansion, and second, there was a lot of information captured in Hongyu Building, and Qin Feng, as the big boss behind the scenes, should have heard a lot of it.
"It is precisely because this Guangchu Department is responsible for the storage of various special supplies from the royal family, such as porcelain, clothing, tea, food, even jewelry, etc. The royal palace fee must be dispatched from Guangchu Department."
"The Office of the Internal Affairs has another great use - it manages royal funds, which looks similar to the functions of the Ministry of Revenue, but both do their own responsibilities. The Office of the Internal Affairs will only borrow money from the Ministry of Revenue or apply for grants when it is short of money."
Qin Feng looked at the paper and guessed that Xiao Lingyao was helping him, and that was the reward given by her willingness to accept her investment in Hongyulou. He looked at a few lines and thought: "It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not need to ask for money from the Ministry of Revenue."
"There is no need to be a different matter with thinking about not having anything. If you approve funds, why not?" Xiao Lingyao said: "If there is a serious name, the Ministry of Internal Affairs often extends his hand to the Ministry of Revenue."
This is, if you have a barbarian, Qin Feng thought of a modern catchphrase, the people in the Office of the Internal Affairs are smart.
The paper states the structure and function of the Office of the Internal Affairs, and also states the source of income of the Office of the Internal Affairs. The Office of the Internal Affairs is self-reliant and monopolizes many businesses, and the income generated by these businesses belongs to the Office of the Internal Affairs.
Not only that, the imperial merchants respect countless silver every year, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also learned to borrow money!
This is clearly written, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also lends loans and collects interest money!
Unexpectedly, there were such flexible institutions in the palace of Dongyue Kingdom. They transferred the loan business of later generations so much that they earned a lot of interest. Not only that, did they rent out the real estate property belonging to the royal family and put away the rent?
This operation made Qin Feng feel strange. Is there anyone in the Interior Office who has traveled through time?
Qin Feng continued to look down calmly. It turned out that the property and fines collected by the officials were also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. No wonder he was so rich, he made such a profit, and he still had the face to borrow money from the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of Revenue could be so angry.
The existence of such a department is simply a big dyeing vat, which is the fertile soil for receiving kickbacks. Qin Feng's eyes turned and he was glad that he did not plan to do business with them.
Xiao Lingyao seemed to see what he thought: "The head of the Interior Office seems to have a low official title, but he manages the backyard for the emperor, and has all the food, clothing, housing and transportation. He has a low official title and a heavy status. Now he is Prince Rui in his position and is also the uncle of the palace."
Qin Feng's eyelids twitched. Emperor Yuan's younger brother, Prince Rui, was named Xiao Ting. After Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, he was appointed King Rui. He did not assign a fief and asked him to leave Sui City. Instead, he was asked to be the chief official of the internal affairs. This was a wealthy fat man!
Not to mention kickbacks, just by operating the procurement process in a secret manner, you have to get a lot of oil and water... you will close at a low price and report at a high price. After a few moments, all the things that come out in the middle are put into your own pocket, which is much better than doing business honestly.
Qin Feng only regretted that he could not be the supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this was simply putting his hand into the royal pocket and letting him take it.
He sighed as he looked at it: "Envy."
Bai Qian couldn't help laughing. Jing Wuming glanced at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he was thrown into a big roll.
Feng Bao looked around and understood that Jing Wuming was interested in the princess' maid.
Cao Jing stood outside, staring at Long Qi who was playing with soil in the yard, staring at his back, as if he was thinking, but he still listened to the movement inside. He just turned away when he saw Long Qi fishing a bug out of the hole with leaves.
Such a person actually forced him to retreat step by step?
Qin Feng finished reading the text about the information of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Xiao Lingyao looked at him with a look of ten lines, and after reading it, he was clear that he was in his heart.
"Did you remember it all?"
"Your Highness forgets that I am a medical student? Those medical books are much thicker than this. If you can't even remember things, how can you remember so many medical principles and pharmacology? These are nothing to do. If you don't believe it, I can repeat them."
After saying that, Qin Feng really started to recite it word by word, every sentence was clear and organized, and it was exactly the same as the word written on the paper.
Xiao Lingyao was dumbfounded. There are really people in the world who can never forget them!
"Qin Qi is keen on composition, but you are keen on writing and worthy of being a brother." Seeing that he was already well aware of the situation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiao Lingyao turned around and left: "It depends on your own luck today."
Today, the Imperial Merchants went to the Interior Department to discuss matters. Xiao Lingyao has been notified and the prince will also listen.
