"Your Majesty, Jiang Mian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Mao Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, would like to see you." Lin Yu was eating happily when he heard a young eunuch coming to report.
"What are these two doing here? I feel like nothing good will happen." Lin Yu touched his chin. Usually Yang Tinghe came to him directly when something happened. Now that these two came to him, it felt like nothing good could happen.
"Xuan." The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth. Anyway, let's call them in first to take a look. It's probably not good for us so early in the morning.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Mian, goes to see your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever."
"Your Majesty, Mao Ji, goes to see your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever."
"The two beauties are equal. By the way, have the two beauties eaten? How about eating some together?" Lin Yu greeted him every day to come over for dinner. If the chief assistant is the prime minister, then these two are the ministers of various ministries, and maybe some.
It's half a level higher.
Jiang Mian and Mao Ji looked at each other. They had long heard that His Majesty liked to ask people to eat. It was indeed true.
"No, no, we have eaten. Come here today..."
"Hey, you should eat some more after you eat. The imperial chef's cooking skills are quite good. The two ladies also come to try it. Let me tell you, the husband comes here often, and every time he grabs some food.
If you come, you must have a meal before you leave." Lin Yu continued to entertain them warmly. Don't worry about what they came for. Let's serve the table first.
"His Majesty......"
"Huang Jin, why are you still watching here? Hurry up and show the seats to the two adults. Add two sets of bowls and chopsticks. You are already here. If you don't leave without eating, won't you look down on me?" Lin Yu looked at me with a straight face.
Huang Jin.
"It's my fault. I'll make arrangements now." Huang Jin also quickly stepped forward to take responsibility.
"You two dear friends, you are here. You must eat well. Just treat it as a favor to me."
Mao Ji and Jiang Mian looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Eat, what else could they do? Having said that, does that mean they are not giving face to Your Majesty?
After a full meal, the two of them didn't talk much. Lin Yu was basically the one talking.
"Okay, the two beauties are also full. It's almost done. Huang Jin, I'll send you two off." After eating and drinking, Lin Yu sat on the chair, feeling comfortable.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The two of them spoke quickly. If they didn't, they would be kicked out immediately.
"Oh? Shouldn't something be reported to the cabinet? Why are you looking for me?" Lin Yu lay on the rocking chair and swayed, knowing that there was nothing wrong with these two people.
"The cabinet cannot handle this matter. This matter requires His Majesty's approval." The two of them had no choice but to go up.
"Can't the cabinet handle it? If the cabinet can't handle it, go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and ask Lu Fang. I'm studying the thoughts of saints. I basically don't care about these things. How about I call Lu Fang over for you?" Damn, two debt collectors, myself
It hasn't been quiet for a few days, and you just made some money, and now you're here to mess with me?
Mao Ji poked Jiang Mian, "Modan, it's you who came here, you should speak up, don't just pretend to be dead."
Jiang Mian glanced at Mao Ji, "Damn it, it's not you, you're asking me for money, what can I do, I just don't have any money."
"Ahem, Your Majesty, your Majesty must nod for this matter." Mao Ji had no choice but to bite the bullet. What should he do? It was indeed him who proposed this matter. The key point is that this matter cannot be delayed.
"Tell me about it." Lin Yu didn't expect these two to be so shameless. They have already reached this level and are still rushing to continue. Okay, without such shame, they wouldn't be able to climb to this position.
"It's like this. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has already owed the salaries of the officials below for half a year. Your Majesty, please see..." Mao Ji also took the risk. You are the boss. Now the workers below have not been paid for half a year. What do you think?
, if wages are not paid, the family will not be able to open the pot.
"You haven't been paid a salary. Then go to the Ministry of Revenue to get the salary for your official department. No, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is here. It's a good idea for you two to discuss this matter. You don't have to go through me." Lin Yu shook his chair indifferently.
If you move, you know that you are here to ask for money, so you can't make my heart flutter. It would be great if you came to give money.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue doesn't have any money either." Jiang Mian hurriedly stepped forward and cried out. If he had money to come here, wouldn't it be because he heard that Your Majesty has made a fortune and this is just a small profit?
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has no money? How come the Ministry of Household Affairs has no money? Then where did this year's tax revenue go? My dear, please explain it to me." Lin Yu was unmoved. Why did the Ministry of Household Affairs have no money?
Don't you still know that land annexation, gentry not paying grain, and government and businessmen colluding to evade taxes? If you can make money, you will be in trouble.
Jiang Mian didn't expect that the fire would hit him all at once, so he quickly defended: "Your Majesty, I can't help it. It's eight million in taxes a year. We need money here and there, and we have to give it to Your Majesty."
For the construction of the imperial mausoleum and the matter of His Majesty's enthronement, the Ministry of Revenue really has no money."
Good guy, Lin Yu said directly, "Good guy, you are putting all the responsibility on me, right? It's so shameless. The treasury has no money and doesn't know how to open source. You are thinking about how to reduce expenditures, right? Then I want this."
What is the use of the household department?
"Then don't build the imperial mausoleum. Use this money to give everyone salaries. There's only so much I can do." Lin Yu sighed, since you said so, let's do it first
Stop building graves, this matter can be slowed down.
"How can this be done? Building the imperial mausoleum is a big deal, so we must not be careless." The two men hurriedly asked for their heads. How could this stop? If His Majesty burped, there would be no place to bury him.
"My dear friends, what you said is wrong. I am at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is useless to repair the imperial mausoleum so early. It will be left alone. Why not use this money to do something useful? What do you think?
In addition to this money, can the treasury save any other money?" Lin Yu never mentioned paying for it himself.
Good guy, if he fills this gap in the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War will all come to him. He is not the one who deserves to be taken advantage of. He plans to directly break up and rebuild. As for the current situation,
Team, just use it if you can. How can you invest money in it?
Moreover, these loopholes cannot be blocked, they will only get bigger and bigger. If he spends money, people's lives will not get better, so what's the point of spending money to support more corrupt officials?
"Wei Chen means that His Majesty has become richer recently. Let's see if we can get some money from the inner treasury."
"That won't work. The inner treasury is my private wealth, and the national treasury is the national treasury. How can I use my private wealth to fill the national treasury? It's like the national treasury has no money. Your Jiang Mian family has ten thousand taels of silver. Are you willing to hand it over?"
The treasury? Right, this can’t be compared, and it’s not about having money, so it’s settled, I won’t build the imperial mausoleum for the time being, and we’ll wait until we have the money.”
If you want to get money, there is no way. What you are thinking is quite beautiful. It is easy to make some money. It has not even been put into the treasury, but you are already thinking about it, right?
