Chapter 911: Dividing the spoils

Not far from the house where Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi were staying, the residence of the chief minister Quan Yun in Baoqing Port. When arranging the residences of the ministers, they were also arranged according to their official positions. The higher the official position, the closer it was to the Emperor, which was similar to the position above the court.

In fact, the court meeting held every three days in Yuejing is just a formality. The real big thing has long been decided in the small study room in Qin Feng Palace, and the person who can enter and exit the small study room is the real core figure of the Ming Dynasty.

Although it was already three o'clock, the residence of the chief minister Quan Yun was still brightly lit at this time, and the guards outside also widened their eyes and did not dare to slack off at all. No one was worried that anyone would not open their eyes to assassinate the Emperor and Empress. In addition to the Emperor and Empress himself, there was also Eunuch Le, who was also a luxury person. But now there are a lot of great people in this room who know how to do martial arts. Anyone who has any problems is enough to shock the Ming Dynasty.

The guards of the Death Camp looked like they were not close to each other. Of course, some people were exceptional. For example, now, two people came over in a big manner. Not only did they not stop them, they also bent down to salute people.

The wild dog came over by Yinggu's ear twisted. It's not that the wild dog didn't want to resist, but in front of Yinggu, he really didn't see enough, and he couldn't really fight Yinggu's life and death. He originally wanted to go to his emperor boss to tell his suffering, but before he got close, he was stopped by Yinggu. Without saying a word, he twisted his ear and dragged it horizontally and vertically toward this side.

"You are a guy who doesn't know anything, and your head is covered with flesh. Your Majesty and the Empress have finally gotten together, and you want to come and ruin the scenery. What's the big deal about you? What's the point of finding Your Majesty overnight." Yinggu was angrily teaching the wild dog a lesson, while dragging him to the chief assistant Quan Yun, so that someone had to look at him, otherwise this stubborn guy might run away.

"It's a big deal to you, but it's a big deal to me!" The wild dog could only tilt his body and follow Yinggu, who was half a head taller than Yinggu. After hearing Yinggu's words, he retorted dissatisfiedly.

"That's the only way to let you go, you can try it if you change someone!" Yinggu decided to be too lazy to talk nonsense to this guy.

The officers and soldiers of the Death Camp on the side looked at the wild dog's embarrassing appearance, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. They could only use the bento of the salute to bend their waists as deep as possible so as not to let the wild dog see the gloating smile on their faces. If they smile so happily that the general saw and were thinking about it, would they still live in the future?

Of course, the general will not take private revenge, he will only bully you openly.

In Quan Yun's house, officials from various ministries were holding a spoils.

It is actually not wrong to say that it is a sharing of the spoils. Because now they are discussing this, it is their Emperor who served as a pirate to steal it. Of course, it can also be said with a high sound that His Majesty is trying to kill the thieves, to comfort the people, and to eliminate all the ghosts, monsters and other harmful insects in the world. As long as they think about this, everyone suddenly feels that the money comes from brightly and they can use it with peace of mind.

Those who can serve as officials in Qin Feng's Ming Dynasty were not pedantic people, they were all very capable and adaptable, and they only did things.

Judging from the result, as for the process, well, this is the money that Your Majesty has obtained and has little to do with them. Naturally, all this credit must be remembered on Your Majesty.

Of course, there are people in this room, such as Mr. Xiao, the Minister of Rites. This old man was the leader of scholars from the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Maeyue, Mr. Xiao was irresistible at first, so that the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty had been empty for a long time. No one was willing to take this position. Qin Feng looked at Mao Lu three times and told the old man in detail how the Ming Dynasty prepared to promote the rituals of study and rituals. He also dragged the old man to Shayang, Taiping City and other places where education was well developed, so that he could personally see it. Only then did the old man agree to come out again.

It’s not that Qin Feng is really so polite and polite, but there is no way. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as this old man is recovered, it means that all the scholars in the Masao Yue will kneel down in front of him, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. You can conquer the world immediately, but you still have to govern the world!

Recovering this old man made all scholars no longer reject the Ming Dynasty, but Qin Feng also caused a big trouble for himself. This old man dared to say anything!

For example, if he publicly said in the court that His Majesty's son was not prosperous and asked His Majesty to accept a concubine, Min Ruoxi was so angry that she was smoking in the harem.

This old man was naturally not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have been so old that he followed Su Kairong to Baoqing in the wind and snow.

What is the purpose? It's nothing more than money!

The rankings of the six divisions of the Ming Dynasty and the six divisions of Qi and Chu are very different. In Qi and Chu, the rankings of the six divisions are official, household, ritual, military, punishment, and labor. This ranking also represents the status of each division in the court. But in the Ming Dynasty, it is different.

The Ministry of Personnel is still ranked first, and the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of officials in the world. Whether it is civil and military, it will not be possible without the Ministry of Personnel nodding. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money and grain and is the steward of the Ming Dynasty. There is no objection to rank second, but the third place is not the Ministry of Rites but the Ministry of War.

This problem naturally arises because the Ming Dynasty was founded and fought everywhere. This country was defeated by the army. Your Majesty was even born in the army and took good care of the soldiers in the army. The Ming Dynasty's various policies for the soldiers in the army, from military pay to preferential treatment, have always been an important reason for the Ming army to fight to the death.

In addition to these three, the fourth place is still not the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Works. As we all know, Your Majesty attaches importance to the Ministry of Works, and the subordinates of the Ministry of Works have also made great contributions to the expansion of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, craftsmen must be awarded officials as long as they make great contributions. For example, Yu Cong has now been promoted to the fifth rank, and in the Ming Dynasty, even the chief assistant Quan Yun is only the third rank. It is already shocking enough that a craftsman has reached the fifth rank. For example, the Ministry of Works has jumped from the last ranking of other countries to the fourth rank.

The Ministry of Rites had to surrender to the fifth place. Of course, this was something that Old Man Xiao could not tolerate, but as an old man who had known all the vicissitudes of life, he naturally knew that robbery was impossible. The only way was to moisten things and slimly encroach. This kind of encroachment naturally wanted to implement Qin Feng's educational system. As long as there are more and more scholars in the world, the importance of the Ministry of Rites would become more and more important.

And to achieve all this, the first priority is naturally money.

Opening a school requires money, asking a teacher for money, and raising money for students' food and clothing. In many places in the Ming Dynasty, parents are unwilling to send their children to study without using this trick. A seven or eight-year-old boy can be regarded as a laborer at home. As for what kind of books does his daughter read in every family? In such an environment, if you want to trick these children into studying, providing food is a good way. If parents feel that they have taken advantage of the government, they will naturally send the children.

Money, money, has made Mr. Xiao, who has been noble for a lifetime, whiter his hair again.

As for the Minister of Justice, Tang Zhong, was promoted after a minister of the Ministry of Justice during the Yue Dynasty. He was quite skilled in criminal cases. Of course, in many places in the Ming Dynasty, his responsibilities have indeed shrunk a lot. His speaking weight is the smallest, and the ranking is at the end, which is beyond reproach.

But even so, he still wants to fight for his own interests for the Ministry of Justice. After all, more and more counties in the Ming Dynasty have been divided into military and civilians. The Ministry of Justice is increasingly responsible, and the manpower is becoming less and less than enough. To expand the manpower and take on the responsibility of national security, it is naturally money. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty is booming and its rejuvenation is expected, even if he is the least ambitious, he would also want to leave a name in history! After dozens or hundreds of years, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there must be a place for him among the founding heroes. He does not want to give himself the four words of mediocrity in history books. Historical books are like swords, which must be passed down through the ages.

Of course, he also understood that he could not eat fat, but he could do many things if he could take a small bite. Therefore, he had to come too.

Here, only Wang Hou and Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel can laugh at the heroes and ignore these things.

Of course, Su Kairong from the Ministry of Revenue is also very happy now. When he has no money, he is so worried that he has no choice. When he has money, he is the master. Even if the Prime Minister agrees to the requests of each department, His Majesty also approves the emperor. Finally, they still have to look at their faces when they arrive here.

How to use it is the matter between the Prime Minister and His Majesty, but how to allocate it, whoever takes the first and whoever takes the more, whoever takes the less, will drag it over, but it is the right of the Minister of Revenue.

So at this time, he leaned comfortably on the chair, squinted his eyes and looked at the ministers of various departments, whispering their demands as if they were injected with chicken blood, pointing at the other party's problems, and trying to make his department more divided. The deep wrinkles on the face of Quan Yun on his forehead could be poured into two taels of wine.

Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, it feels great! Su Kairong was very happy to remember that some time ago, these people rushed to the Ministry of Revenue and pointed at their noses and scolded them for being useless, and sent the ministers from various departments to guard the Ministry of Revenue and stared at their scene.

His Majesty the Emperor is a person who can make money. He can even make money without money. For example, who would have thought that His Majesty would go out to sea to be a pirate? Su Kairong was very happy. If His Majesty could make money, it would be easy for him to be the Secretary of the House. Well, of course, we can't expect His Majesty to always pretend to be a pirate. Speaking of the gold mine in Fuyuan County, after the beginning of the year, when the idea of ​​expanding some output, the caravans to Qin State had to be sent more, and they had to discuss with Cheng Weigao that they would draw taxes and the income department would be divided into, otherwise they would have to wear them. The Chu State saw that it was no longer possible, so he turned around and thought of a solution.

Su Kairong's thoughts turned to how to make money and became immersed in it, so that the door was opened and Ying Gu threw the wild dog in shocked him.
