Chapter 1301: Misunderstanding Escaped a Catastrophe

Thanks to the book friends: "The wind rises, the leaves fall and the snow falls" for the reward!

There are too many debts, please add more slowly, thank you for your support!

...

The duties of the official department are very specific, managing people!

It's the end of the year, and Jian Yi wants to summarize the data of the Ministry of Officials this year, and then report to Zhu Di.

Data, which used to be a headache, is now clear at a glance after the introduction of more concise tables and graphics.

Jian Yi secretly lamented the application of science in government affairs, put down the form and asked: "There are no vacancies for petty officials in various places this year, and there are many more. Why?"

Zuo Shilang said: "My lord, most of the former petty officials were scholars who could not pass the examination for fame, and some were idlers recruited by the locals themselves. Self-financing, so they are a little cautious.”

"It's just that in the past two years, the commerce and trade in various places have begun to improve, so the income of the localities has increased, especially those big counties have dared to raise more small officials to handle affairs."

The so-called improvement in business and trade can only account for half of the credit, and Jian Yi is very clear about the other half.

"It seems that the business tax has increased greatly! At the beginning, everyone said that Xing Hebo was encouraging merchants, and it was for money. Good."

Zuo Shilang smiled and said: "My lord, for those who do small business to make a living, of course it is to kill chickens and take eggs to compete with the people for profit, so the Ministry of Households has set a rule that no tax is charged for income below a certain amount, so those people object Much less."

"It's just that my lord, many of those petty officials are good at calculating! And it is said that they are knowledgeable."

science!

As for erudition, Jian Yi, who had read those books, knew that it was the ignorant common people who did not understand the so-called physics and were fooled by those petty officials.

Yes, I was fooled!

Thinking of this, Jian Yi picked up the form and entered the palace.

When he was outside Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaosui happened to come out. Seeing the smile on his face, he probably regained Zhu Di's favor.

The youngest is favored!

Jian Yi arched his hands expressionlessly,

Zhu Gaosui said cordially: "Your Excellency Jian, you don't need to be too polite. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there must be a lot of affairs in the official department. Your Excellency Jian must pay attention to your bones."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

Jian Yi has always been a loner, neither friends nor party, and Zhu Gaosui has no friendship.

But Zhu Gaosui's attitude made him a little confused.

this attitude...

"Father is very happy today, Mr. Jian, go in quickly."

Zhu Gaosui smiled, making people feel like a spring breeze, then he nodded slightly and went down the steps.

Jian Yi entered the hall with questions, saluted and handed over the form.

Zhu Di looked at it and said: "Last year, Ming Dynasty added more than 300 officials. Um...Yingzhou, North Korea has the most staff, and the number of cochin is less. The number of small officials has increased by more than 700, but is there any money in the local area?"

Jian Yi said in admiration, "Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is."

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "It's not about whether you are wise or not. I know that there was a shortage of manpower in the past, but the Ministry of Officials has to check it out. Otherwise, there will be a flood of officials, and you will be digging your own grave!"

Jian Yi hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't express his worries.

After returning to the Ministry of Officials, Jian Yi summoned the servants of the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "The servants below should pay attention, everyone knows that although we live in the temple and regulate Yin and Yang, it is actually those who manage Daming Thousands of petty officials, be cautious! You must be cautious in selecting petty officials!"

The waiters on the left and right knew about this a long time ago, and they immediately understood what they heard, and then went to make arrangements.

Shangguan does not need to speak clearly, the more vague the better, this will make it difficult for subordinates to guess their own thoughts, and can also shirk responsibility when things go bad.

The Chinese language is broad and profound, and a sentence has different meanings depending on the individual or the tone.

Jian Yi is a master among them, otherwise he wouldn't have occupied the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for many years.

The left and right servants went out without saying a word - the master only needs a look to understand the meaning of the other party.

So the official department sent out a few small officials, and they went to Shuntian Mansion.

Shuntian Mansion respected the officials very much, and the Governor of Shuntian met them in person.

"Recently, there have been a lot of small officials below, but the sources are a bit mixed. This is not a good thing for the long-term stability of Ming Dynasty!" x1

After leaving a few words, the little officials left.

Arrogant!

Shuntian Fu Yin sent them out of the lobby with a smile, and when they could not see their backs, the smile was still there, but the words they said were not so pleasant.

"The source of what bullshit is unknown! Isn't it just that some science students who are proficient in calculation and understand a lot have entered the yamen? Pooh! He Jian Yi didn't even think about it, what are some petty officials? Hey! We have How many such petty officials?"

"My lord, there are four or five of us here. Two of them were originally in the yamen, and later went to study science by themselves."

"Then it's over?"

Shuntian Mansion Governor Fuxu said disdainfully: "Jian Yi still wants to pass on this meaning through my mouth, bah! This official is Shuntian Mansion Governor, can he control it?"

The Shuntian Mansion has a special status, and it is impossible and dare not for Jian Yi to interfere in the personnel affairs here, that's why the governor dared to be so arrogant.

As for the future? There are no permanent enemies in officialdom, nor are there permanent friends!

It's just a matter of interests.

After dealing with the political affairs, it happened that Fu Yin's son had something to ask him, so he used this matter to test his son.

"Father, I think it's hard to talk about this matter, after all, the officials are easy to manipulate, and when the time comes to give you a bad review when you get promoted, then..."

Fu Yin shook his head, and said triumphantly: "Wei father said those words in front of people, just to reach His Majesty's ears, you can say it again."

"Father, are you... wanting to show off the demeanor of a minister?"

"good!"

Fu Yin said: "Today's matter, the Ministry of Officials sent a small official here, but he dared to vouch for his father. If Jian Yi didn't handle this matter, then he was a little jealous of Xing Hebo and didn't want people to know. But my father did the opposite. Let’s go, hahahaha! The Ministry of Officials is great, but what His Majesty looks at is not this, but whether you have the dignity of a minister, and being obedient is not the demeanor of a minister! Besides, if you are a father and listen to others, then in the future Whose person is it? Huh? I don’t want to be flattered!”

"Father is really powerful. Jian Yi has no way to advance. Compared with offending him, getting His Majesty's favor is the right way!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

...

But Fang Xing didn't know that the disciples of science would face a threat of siege and interception, and learned that the Oala envoy had arrived in Beiping.

Lu Zhen immediately fell into a trouble. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and he didn't want to get entangled with others.

But the Oala envoy took root in the Ministry of Rites, saying that he wanted to meet His Majesty and express Tuo Huan's loyalty to His Majesty.

Zhu Di was willing to see him, and after asking about the size of the mission, he decisively ordered all of them to be detained and placed under house arrest.

"If you want to spy on Daming's situation, Tuo Huan is really ambitious. Now that you're here, don't leave. Detain them all!"

Zhu Di is in a good mood, so these people are enjoying the blessings, otherwise they will probably be stabbed.
