Upon learning that the Minister of Revenue was coming, the servants of Gao Mansion hurriedly opened the middle gate of Gao Mansion.

When Gao Gong heard the news, he hurriedly walked from the inner house.

It is a very common phenomenon for men in the Ming Dynasty to grow beards. For example, Lin Qingran had a little beard, but Gao Gong was also a rare beard in the officialdom compared to Lin Qingran.

Gao Gong had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a relatively round face, and a powerful and powerful person. When he was facing Lin Junran, he looked quite polite and said, "The lower official has seen Lord Shangshu, but he has lost his distance.

Please forgive me!"

Although his qualifications and age are far above Lin Qingran, the identities of the two are finally at a different level. Even if he is the teacher of King Yu, he still wants to be compared with Lin Qingran.

"I came here uninvited this time, and I am disturbing Mr. Gao!" Lin Weiran did not act too arrogantly and responded gently.

Gao Gong followed the usual routine in the officialdom: "State Lin's visit will make the humble house shine brightly, how can you disturb it! Secretary Lin, please sit down!"

When they arrived at the living room, the two of them sat down with the guest of honor, and the servant brought tea.

The two worked together in the Ministry of Rites for a period of time, and then Gao Gong was promoted to the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, while Lin Qingran was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, but they had different circumstances. Although the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel had extremely high authority, they were as the first-rank prince Taibao.

Lin Weiran, the Minister of Revenue, still opened up a bigger gap.

Gao Gong drank tea, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

His current status is indeed a little lower, but he is the most valued teacher of King Yu. Even if King Yu encounters anything, he often invites him to discuss it. This is his most lethal political capital.

Gao Gong was already relied on his heart and said straight to Lin Junran: "If Lord Shangshu comes to lobby for me to support the troublemakers, this matter will be avoided!"

this……

Lin Fu stood next to Lin Weiran, knowing why Lin Weiran came. Hearing Gao Gong so bluntly refused, he couldn't help but look at Lin Weiran worriedly.

Lin Weiran, who was holding a teacup, smiled. He always knew that although Gao Gong was arrogant, he lived a very free and easy life, not as deeply concealed as Xu Jie.

However, Gao Gong's firm attitude also shows that Sun Jixiang's analysis is correct. Even if Gao Gong is an innovative, what he wants to be the leader of innovation.

Lin Qiran seemed to take a sip of tea slowly, then asked with a smile: "Shilarious Minister Gao, do you think... can King Yu inherit the Grand Principal?"

"Shangshu Lin, do you think there is still suspense in this matter?" Gao Gong asked with a sneer when he heard this question.

Although due to the tyranny of the current saints, no one in the court dared to submit a memorial to appoint King Yu as the crown prince. However, King Yu was the only son of Jiajing. Even if he did not have the title of Prince, it would be a foregone conclusion that King Yu inherited the throne in the future.

Something.

Lin Qiran took it a moment, reached out and took out a notebook from his wide cuffs and handed it to Lin Fu and said, "Sir Gao, I have a copy of the data I just sorted out. Please take a look!"

Lin Fu handed the notebook over to Gao Gong, and Gao Gong took it and looked at it carefully. When he saw the military expenditures over the years, his brows frowned tightly and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Lin Weiran saw his reaction and raised his mouth slightly.

This time, Yang Futian's Yunnan Department was asked to sort out these data, one to provide data support to Yang Bo, the Minister of War, and the other to serve as a bargaining chip to convince Gao Gong.

After reading the data above, Gao Gong raised his head in shock and said, "Is this really the case?"

"Is it possible that in the heart of Minister Gao, I don't even have this integrity. Is he a fraud?" Lin Qingran asked with disdain for explanation, holding the lid of the teacup.

Gao Gong realized that this was indeed inappropriate. Although he knew that Lin Xunran was coming for the troublemakers, he knew that Lin Xunran would not have fabricated such a book, and his face looked solemn: "Shangshu Lin, this fact is too much.

Shocking! Although I have always known that the expenses of border pay are quite large, I did not expect that it had reached 2.63 million taels, and this data is obviously on the rise! If this continues, the Ming Dynasty's finances will really drag down

Now!"

The power of this booklet is not only reflected in the amount of 2.63 million taels, but also in this upward trend with a weak sense of existence. This is the most terrible problem.

"Old Master Xu is so opposed to the bad guys. It is said that I, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, should not be so persistent! It's just that I have been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for more than a year and think I am a Minister of Revenue with some financial management capabilities!" Lin Qingran was as if he was talking to an old friend.

It seems to be heart-to-heart.

When Gao Gong heard this, a trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This evil young man has more than just "some financial management skills". It is the various measures he has taken over the past year since he became the Minister of Revenue, which has helped the Ministry of Revenue generate a lot of income.

Even if he is in his position as the Minister of Revenue, he is definitely far inferior. The young man in front of him is the most suitable candidate for the Minister of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty.

"The expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue has far exceeded the expenditure. In recent years, it has maintained fiscal balance through unconventional means such as additional taxation, additional taxation and miscellaneous taxation! But this situation cannot continue. Not to mention that the number of refugees in the Ming Dynasty is increasing today, this

The income from grain tax is also significantly declining year by year!" Lin Qingran looked up at Gao Gong, and said earnestly.

Gao Gong looked at Lin Qingran in complexity and found that Lin Qingran was not only smart, but also had few people who could compare with him in this eloquence. However, he still shook his head firmly and said, "Shangshu Lin, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, a messy person

The book involves a lot, and I will not agree to this plan in the court!”

Why……

When Lin Fu heard that Gao Gong still chose to refuse clearly, he couldn't help but sigh silently, and looked at Lin Weiran worriedly here again.

Facing Gao Gong's rejection, Lin Xuran shook his head gently and said, "No, I think you are a misunderstanding. I am not here to lobby you this time!"

Huh?

Gao Gong was stunned immediately and looked at Lin Qingran in confusion. Tangtang took the initiative to climb his door from the first-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but actually said that it was not for the sake of winning over him. Could it be that Kongxu could chat with him?

"I have done enough for the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is to treat the current emperor or the King Yu, I have no regrets! I came here today to tell Mr. Gao about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. If Mr. Gao thinks that Mr. Gao feels that Mr. Yu is aware of the Ming Dynasty!

If you still have to wait, then you will follow your wishes!" Lin Qingran did not mean to ask Yu Gaogong. After saying that, he stood up and bowed, "You can keep that book, but it's better not to leak it out and say goodbye!
