Chapter 1717 Parallel Clearance 174
Author: Kyuubi-kun
"Master, what a good thing!" Su Peisheng smiled attentively and presented two food boxes, "Look, Fujin sent someone to deliver the meals. I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to the meals from the Ministry of War, so I was specially sent to you.
"
Yinzhen was having a meal, and there were only three dishes on the table, which looked simple. The appearance was not very good, and the taste was probably not much better. After listening to Su Peisheng's words, he put down his chopsticks and looked at the food box.
Su Peisheng had a good eye and opened the food box and laid out the dishes one by one. There were both meat and vegetable dishes, and the soup looked very good.
"Master, take a look, Fujin really cares about you! It's all your favorite food."
A soft smile appeared in Yinzhen's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly before suppressing it again, "With so many dishes, how can Fujin use them in the house?"
"I heard from Aunt Tian that Fujin hadn't eaten yet when we came out." Su Peisheng said with a smile, "Sir, Fujin is thinking about you so much!"
"Shut up." The corners of Yinzhen's lips raised slightly, and a soft smile spread in his eyes.
Su Peisheng smiled when he saw it, "Please use it."
Yinzhen nodded slightly and saw that there were many dishes, "Su Peisheng."
"The slave is here."
"I went to invite some adults from the Ministry of War to come over and share it with me. I told them that the dishes sent by Fujin were too many to finish, so I asked them to share them with me."
Su Peisheng accepted the order clearly, bowed and turned to leave. After a while, five officials came with him, "Sir, Mr. Aling'a, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Qi Jiashi Nigu, the left minister, and Majiashi Geerhan, the right minister.
, the principal, Mr. Rongxuan of Lashi, and Mr. Qi, the doctor, have already been invited."
Among the five adults, Aling'a is the oldest and has the highest position; while the first four adults are all Manchus, Mr. Qi's real name is Zhiyuan, and he is a Han; to be able to sit in the position of doctor as a Han is not an easy task.
"Announcement, Prince Yong."
"No need to be polite, just sit down." Yinzhen waved his hand casually.
Su Peisheng smiled and made an invitation gesture, "Sir, please take a seat. Our master has been waiting for a long time."
"Prince Laoyong has been waiting for a long time." Aling'a's surname was Niucolu, and he was the current Minister of War. Yinzhen was transferred here and was not the Minister, but he was also the person in charge of the Ministry of War. It can be said that his status was equal to that of Niucolu's Aling'a.
The most important thing is that Yinzhen has just been transferred here, and the officials in the Ministry of War don't have much respect for him.
"Please." Yinzhen sat in the main seat.
"Thank you, Prince Yong." Several people sat down according to their official positions. Aling'a and the left minister Qi Jiashi Nigu sat at the foot of Yinzhen.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Yinzhen nodded and said: "A lot of dishes have been sent to me in the palace. I can't use so many by myself. I specially invited a few adults to have a meal with me. You can do whatever you want."
"Thank you Prince Yong for thinking about Wei Chen and others. You can tell at a glance that these dishes are excellent." A Ling A laughed and flattered. It's not flattering to say that these dishes are indeed excellent.
"Master A Ling'a, please." Yinzhen said to several other officials: "You are welcome, you can eat freely. This king is new to the Ministry of War, and I would like to thank these adults for their help."
Aling and Aling nodded happily, "This is what a minister should do."
Officials were the emperor's minions, and Yinzhen was just the emperor's son, even if he was granted the title of prince. Officials could also be called minions or minor ministers, unlike the emperor. Manchu officials were collectively called minions, and Han people were collectively called minor ministers.
The difference between Manchu and Han can be seen from this point.
After the meal, the five officials were satisfied. This was probably the best lunch they had ever had since serving in the Ministry of War.
"Prince Yong, recently the Ministry of War needs to coordinate the tax reduction. Long live the Lord has ordered that wealth be hidden among the people. Our Ministry of War's tax and money have dropped sharply. The national treasury is not full, and it will be even worse now. If there is a war, even the grain, grass, government and silver will be reduced."
It gives me a headache." After dinner, Aling'a and Yinzhen were talking and looking at the other officials.
They all serve in the Ministry of War, but they are not of the same mind; they respectively occupy four families among the eight major surnames, and each has its own small calculations.
Yinzhen understood clearly and did not express his thoughts, "What do the adults think?"
Nigu, Geerhan, Rongxuan, and Qi Zhiyuan didn't expect that Yinzhen would ask them a question. They didn't know how to answer for a while, but Qi Zhiyuan was the first to speak in a stagnant atmosphere.
"The words of Prince Hui Yong, Wei Chen thinks that Long Live Lord's order is quite meaningful and can calm the people's hearts; however, it is a fact that the national treasury is empty, and the only thing we can do is to find ways to replenish the treasury."
Yinzhen glanced at him and nodded, "What Mr. Qi said is true. Emperor Ama has kept his promise. The emperor's order has been issued. The only thing we ministers can do is to solve our worries."
"Prince Yong is right." Aling Aling nodded repeatedly, "Then how should we fill the treasury?"
The entire imperial court spends a large amount of money every year. The Ministry of War must not be short of money. There is no one in the Ministry of Household Affairs to do practical work, and the treasury is extremely empty. If something happens to the court, the Ministry of Household Affairs will not talk about it, and even the Ministry of War will have to do it.
implicated.
It’s no wonder that Aling and Al Qi are worried.
"Now it's time for Lord Aling'a to step forward and relieve Emperor Ama from his worries."
Aling'a: "." What the hell, why do you want me to come forward? Isn't it your turn, the prince, brother and prince, to come forward?
Yinzhen chuckled, pretending not to understand the deep meaning in Aling'a's eyes, "The Ministry of War is worried about the national treasury. Sir Aling'a can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to discuss with Mr. Ma Qi, or write to Emperor Ama to resolve the matter; I have not been in the Ministry of War for a long time.
, I’m still not very clear about the Ministry of War’s response.”
Damn it, I don’t know very well. I’ve been here for a year and I haven’t been in office for a long time?!
Several big things that happened in the past were not done by you and were all haunted?
Aling'a and several Manchu officials all had the urge to scold their mothers. Who didn't know that Prince Yong was doing practical things? He was so capable, but he actually said that he didn't know anything about the matters related to the Ministry of War. What a liar.
But, they are the ghosts who were deceived.
Who asked them to plot against Prince Yong? The treasury is empty, and the first official to speak out will definitely be a thorn in the flesh. Nowadays, not only the officials in the imperial court are working on their own affairs, but there are also disputes among the princes, elder brothers, and princes.
, you can offend someone by accident.
Aling'a silently took a deep breath and told herself not to be angry, "What Prince Yong said is very true. Thank you to Prince Yong for your advice. I now know how to act."
"It's not a point to mention, it's just a word." Yinzhen glanced at him with a half-smile, "Several of the adults are busy people. The meals have been used up, and everyone has gone about his or her own business. I want to ask for more
Look at the materials from the Ministry of War in previous years."
"Yes, Wei Chen and others will be excused."
After everyone left, Yinzhen got up and returned to the desk, picked up the memorial and continued to read.
Su Peisheng quietly cleaned up the mess and sent someone back to his home.
No one came to bother me when I was off on business. Yinzhenle was free, and the position in the Ministry of War was not that easy to do; unlike the Ministry of Rites, which had fixed regulations for every link, the Ministry of War was controlled by senior officials in front of it, and there were several big families behind it.
As an eyeliner, if you make a mistake, you will be criticized.
Yinzhen can be said to be careful and careful.
