.,
Naturally, there are inevitably headaches for Wang Shouren.
Everything is ready, after all, it is still a matter of money.
It's not that Wang Shouren is extravagant.
It's that this new type of war has gone through many drills and exercises, but in reality, no one knows how to fight it.
The strategies formulated were changed again and again, and the tactics were constantly revised.
In addition...the large army needs to cross the desert, and supplies are extremely difficult.
Some people even proposed to send out troops and horses first, and then recruit craftsmen and civilians to build a simple railway starting from Yumen Pass to keep pace with the army.
Without silver...all is in vain.
Wang Shouren's biggest headache was that the clever woman had no rice. Soon he discovered that the Ministry of Revenue... began to default on money and food.
It is the most normal thing for the household department to be in arrears.
They had a tradition of defaulting on military pay.
The expenses this time were so huge. After obediently giving a large amount of money and food at first, slowly... they started to do the same thing again.
Wang Shouren went to Hubu several times.
The other side started to be perfunctory and pushy. First they asked you to check the accounts, but then they felt that the accounts could not be checked anymore, so they said it would take time for the money and food to be released from the warehouse. Let's do it next month. It will be done next month.
By the beginning of next month, it's still the same...
Wang Shouren stared at Jin Gui, the Minister of Household Affairs, with fire in their eyes.
Jin Gui's character is simple and quiet, and it is not easy to hide his character. Speak truthfully in front of others without any scruples. In other words, he is a man of fiery temperament.
In addition, he has presided over the imperial examinations many times, advocating elegance and opposing flashy writing style. Therefore, he is still a very down-to-earth person.
Real people are good at everything, but they are stingy.
Not only was he stingy in his position at the Ministry of Household Affairs, but he was also frugal at home!
I heard that he was on duty and had nothing else to do so he repaired his books. What to repair? It is said to be a book called "Shi Jian Tang". This book is not for others to read, but for his own children and grandchildren. What is in it? The content is mostly about how to be diligent and thrifty and how to avoid extravagance and waste.
He was extremely dissatisfied with the expenditure of the Ministry of War, and had reported it many times.
His Majesty apparently shelved his memorial.
Well... in this case... I have to use the old tradition of the Ministry of Accounts.
How the Ministry of Finance used to deal with those Qiu Ba is still used now.
Either you live frugally and take the initiative to reduce expenses, or... I'll drain you to death.
At this time, Wang Shouren said with a sullen face: "Does Jin Butang really want to do this? The war is urgent now..."
Jin Gui sighed: "Wang Butang, how could I not know this? In fact, I... I haven't slept well for many days because of this matter. Don't I worry about this war? But... Wang Butang , The imperial court has its rules and regulations, and the household department has its rules. The money and food must be released from the treasury, and the money must be paid. How can it be a matter of just one or two sentences? "Wang Butang, why don't I urge you again?"
Wang Shouren: "..."
Jin Gui sighed again: "Wang Butang, you are still young and you will have a lot to do in the future. There is no rush in this matter. Let us consider the long term first. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes..."
Wang Shouren's forehead wrinkled with a few wavy lines, but he finally resisted the urge to push this man to the ground and beat him violently.
After all, he is a respectable person.
And as I get older, my temper becomes a little better.
"Okay, farewell." Wang Shouren turned and left.
Jin Gui looked at Wang Shouren's back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Humph, I need money...
He was calm and relaxed, but not afraid of Wang Shouren. All his actions were in compliance with the rules, and everyone in the household department also acted according to the rules, and there was no fault in it.
What's more, he has always been highly regarded by Liu Gong and Li Gong, and he can still be confident when he comes to the imperial court.
In the evening, it's time to watch.
As usual, Jin Gui returned to his mansion. He was thinking about his book revision. That book was of great importance. He wanted to pass on his knowledge and experience of thrift and thrift to his descendants.
But today... something felt strange, so I asked the steward: "Where is Zhengxing?"
Zhengxing is his son, and he usually studies at home. At this time, as a filial son, he should come to greet his father.
The steward said: "I was called an hour ago. I haven't come back yet."
"Who called?"
"Over there in Xishan... I seem to have heard that... it's the regent. The regent wants to talk to him... about something, oh, yes... about life."
When Jin Gui heard this, his face suddenly turned red and he trembled: "Then Wang Shouren...he...he went to file a complaint? The regent also cares about such things...if you have the ability...come to me!"
…………
On the other side, Jin Zhengxing was called to Xishan anxiously.
He couldn't understand...
Why does the regent want to see him?
So, he waited in the hall tremblingly.
Not long after, Fang Jifan arrived.
Look at this silly young man.
Fang Jifan was very satisfied and asked after greetings: "I have heard of your name a long time ago and know that you can also compose poems. Oh... I am also a bit elegant in my daily life, but you also know
Dao, I am busy with everything, and I have beautiful articles in my heart, but I am afraid I will not have time to express my feelings. "
After saying that, he stepped forward and patted the submissive Jin Zhengxing on the shoulder. Fang Jifan continued in a pleasant tone: "Don't be afraid. I am just chatting with you. You also know that a friend is hard to find and a confidant is hard to find! Come, drink tea. , drink tea.”
So I casually said a few words to Jin Zhengxing.
Jin Zhengxing took a sip of tea and finally calmed down a bit seeing that Fang Jifan seemed quite easy-going.
Fang Jifan asked: "How is your calligraphy?"
"As for your Highness, the student... the student has learned some."
"You are too modest. You are the descendant of Jin Budang, how come you have only learned a few things? I see that you are talented and come from a famous family, so you must be good at writing. If not, I happen to have a poem. You How about you come and copy for me?"
How dare Jin Zhengxing refuse to agree, so someone brought the Four Treasures of the Study.
Jin Zhengxing dipped in ink and picked up his pen.
Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and chanted: "My heart is in Shandong, my body is in Wu, and the rivers and seas are fluttering."
Jin Zhengxing frowned slightly, this poem is very ordinary.
Of course...it's understandable when you think that this is what the regent did. He must be at this level.
So, he picked up his pen and wrote down in a hurry.
I began to mutter in my heart again, since this place is not Wu, and the regent has nothing to do with Shandong, this poem is... weird.
Fang Jifan was reading a poem and staring at him, but it made Jin Zhengxing's heart tremble and he couldn't care less about what he was thinking, he was busy writing it like a dragon and a phoenix!
Fang Jifan continued: "He seems to be so arrogant..."
When Jin Zhengxing heard this, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart. This poem was mediocre and clever, and it was the same as Ling Yunzhi. The level of the regent... Well, it's hard to describe it in one word.
Fang Jifan finally said: "You dare to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a husband."
Jin Zhengxing continued to write, but... when he finished writing, he chewed it carefully and felt something was wrong.
Fang Jifan urged: "Write quickly, write quickly."
So, Jin Zhengxing was in a hurry and continued to write down the word husband at the end.
As soon as I finished writing...his expression suddenly changed.
He is Ruosui Ling Yunzhi, dares to laugh at Huang Chao for not being her husband?
What Lingyunzhi?
Huang Chao... isn't this a rebel?
Laughing at Huang Chao for not being a husband... Damn it... If you think Huang Chao is not a husband enough, doesn't that mean... that you want to make a bigger fuss than Huang Chao?
This... this... this is anti-poetry.
Jin Zhengxing subconsciously turned pale.
His body was shaking and his mind was buzzing.
So... he turned around and wanted to leave.
Obviously, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is a den of thieves.
But just as he turned around, he found that Fang Jifan's guards were already coming in with swords in hand.
Wang Xiaohu clapped the machete in his hand and stared at him coldly with a scary smile: "Why, you are going to leave after writing a counter-poem? Then first ask if my machete will be accepted."
Jin Zhengxing suddenly shivered all over. He turned around subconsciously and saw Fang Jifan looking at him with a smile.
Reflexively...Jin Zhengxing knelt down: "Prince Regent, spare your life...this...this is not written by a student..."
Fang Jifan had some free time and said slowly: "How can you say this was not written by you? The writing is black and white, and the ink has not yet dried. Can't I check your handwriting? Even if you say it to the sky, this theory still doesn't make sense. I am Da Ming. Where there is truth, everything must be based on evidence, and we will never do anything to frame someone up.”
Jin Zhengxing burst into tears immediately. He was not a man who had seen the world. At this time, he had no idea at all and just kowtowed.
Fang Jifan took the poem, blew the ink, and praised: "This running calligraphy is quite good. He is a talented person. He is worthy of being the queen of Jin Budang. He has a deep family connection. It's a pity... he just wants to rebel."
"I...I...Your Highness is slandering students..." Jin Zhengxing couldn't help but retort.
Fang Jifan laughed loudly and said: "What you said is wrong. How did I slander you? Tell me, we, Fang Jifan, want to kill you, but we still need to slander you for rebellion? We, Fang Jifan, have a hundred ways to kill you. Goutou, you are such a dog, do you know why I ask you to write a poem? Because I, Fang Jifan, never kill innocent people indiscriminately. I always follow the rules when doing things. Unruly things are too dirty. I don’t care about doing such things. ”
Jin Zhengxing collapsed on the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.
Fang Jifan then gritted his teeth and said: "The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of us are on the alert, but your father is playing his official tricks here in the capital. Why, does he think that the emperor can't cure him? My student Wang Bo'an, then Can't help him? He can raise his tail to the sky, thinking that no one in the world can cure him? Do you really think that Fang Jifan is a vegetarian? I can let you know whether you keep this poem or not. The chickens and dogs are restless, but if this money and food are not paid out within three days and get into the hands of the soldiers, then... you, father and son, go to meet in the underworld. Okay, Wang Xiaohu, put away the knife and let Get this bitch out of here!"
