Chapter six hundred and seventieth checks and balances
Wen Fengcheng actually still has a lot of not understanding, so he still went out of the Political Affairs Hall and came to the Ministry of Works according to Wen Yanbo's words.
However, Su Shi was not in the Ministry of Works, but in the Consultative Yuan.
The Advisory Council has been initially built and the first floor has begun offices.
Su Shi and Su Song sat opposite each other, and the two drank tea and talked about the past and the present, very happy.
Both of them are knowledgeable people, with a wide range of knowledge, proficient in poetry, songs and essays, citing scriptures and talking happily.
It took half an hour for Su Song to get tired, and took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Zi Zhan, Mr. Ouyang said many years ago that you are talented and talented in the world are rare throughout the ages, and it is true."
Su Shi was famous for his literary reputation in his early years and was recognized by many literary giants. Facts have proved that his talent was not only rare in the Song Dynasty, but also in the present.
Su Shi was also happy and said with a smile: "Ouyang Gong praised me, many people have surpassed me."
Su Song shook his head and said, "Zeng Gong counts one. The rest either stagnate or indulge in mundane affairs. Zhang Zihou and Li Bangzhi are like this."
Zhang Zihou, Zhang Dun, Bangzhi, was named Li Qingchen.
These two are both talented men, and now they have good academic achievements, but their minds are not academic, so they have no special achievements.
Their classical and literary works are outstanding, but they do not like poetry, songs, and are not as famous as Su Shi's literary works.
Su Shi's poems and songs over the years have spread all over the country. The four scholars of Su family under his sect were famous in the Song Dynasty. The three fathers and sons of the Su family were called "San Su" at the time, and three scholars in each family were indeed rare in ancient times!
When Su Shi saw Su Song mentioning Zhang Dun and Li Qingchen, he was silent for a moment and said, "Duke, the court is going to send troops to Dali."
Su Song naturally knew that few things in the court were hidden from him.
Su Song held the teacup in both hands and said, "Actually, last year, I vaguely felt that the officials... the court had this idea."
Su Shi suddenly looked calm and sat upright, and said, "In other words, it was not that Dali Counter-in-Chief was usurping the throne. The court should send troops to the Dali Duan family, but, officials... The court has always had this idea?"
Su Song nodded, his expression was silent. After a long time, he said, "Zizhan, you and I can't keep up with the idea of the court. I know the purpose of your coming to me. I want to tell you that the current court is not the kind we think, or imagine, or want. The future outlined by the court is just the tip of the iceberg."
Su Shi's expression remained unchanged and became more serious, saying: "My husband, now, internal and external troubles have reached an unprecedented level. Whether it is the "Three Kingdoms to attack the Song Dynasty" or the West Road in Jiangnan, it is a huge danger. If one is not handled properly, it will be a huge disaster! The Liao Kingdom invaded and civil strife broke out again. If you are not careful, it will be chaos in the late Tang Dynasty!"
After the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which was really not a word "chaos". The Song Dynasty was established on the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and was deeply vigilant against the tragedy of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, especially the tragedy of the late Tang Dynasty!
Seeing that Su Shi seemed to have been determined, Su Song said, "The patience of the official family is limited, and Zhang Zihou has been tolerant of you again and again. If you insist on opposing this military service, you will go to West Lake to enjoy the mountains and rivers again."
Su Shi's face twitched for a moment, his expression struggled and hesitated.
His original intention was not like this. He wanted to do things for the court and the Song Dynasty, but he was out of place with the Song Dynasty. From the Shenzong Dynasty to the present, he has been like this!
After a long time, Su Shi sighed and said dejectedly: "Mr., why do you think, what's wrong with me? The court just can't tolerate me?"
Su Song knew Su Shi's career, and Su Shi was so talented. Similarly, his career was bumpy, which was rare in ancient times.
Zhanzhou is the most remote place in the Song Dynasty. So far, only Su Shi has been exiled so far.
It was still when Yuanyou, Empress Dowager Gao was in charge of the government and the "old party" controlled the government.
Su Song gently turned the teacup and said, "Go out and go and do something seriously, and don't get involved in these right and wrong."
Su Shi took a deep breath and said with a deeper look: "Don't you want to stop me?" Su, Wen, Wang, and the lower-ranking officials are not impossible to do anything."
Su Song suddenly laughed and said, "It's not that you don't understand, you're obsessed with it."
Su Shi looked straight at Su Song and said, "The official can't convince his husband, so he will say goodbye."
As he said that, he stood up and walked outside.
The Consultative Yuan came and went, and there were many officials of all sizes. When they saw Su Shi, they all bowed politely.
Su Shi ignored it completely and left with great strides.
As soon as Su Shi left, Wu Juhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, walked in with a silly smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "Su Xianggong."
Su Song didn't raise his head, and fiddled with the chessboard that had not been moved before he got up, and said, "Did you hear it? Tell me why this Shangshu Su is not tolerant to the court?"
Wu Juhou is fat, has a simple face and a pair of small eyes. Anyone who looks at him is an honest and wealthy gentleman.
Wu Juhou sat opposite Su Song and said with a smile: "The officials heard nothing. Su Xianggong, the Consulting Yuan blocked a budget from the Ministry of Revenue. The officials wanted to come and ask when the review will be passed."
Su Song placed the chess pieces and said, "The Consultative Yuan is just to review it. To put it bluntly, he just knows that the filing is not the power to stop the Ministry of Revenue. What does Mr. Wu come here in person? What does it mean?"
Wu Ju's honest smile on his cheeks was even more, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said, "What is Su Xianggong saying? The official family has always warned his subordinates to respect Su Xianggong and respect the Consulting Yuan. The Grand Minister also said that the Consulting Yuan's opinions must be fully agreed and must be understood clearly. The subordinates... if there is any, they should be corrected, and if there is no, they should be encouraged."
How could Su Song believe Wu Juhou? He said lightly: "Where did your money come from 200,000 guan? The one who went to the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War is so big. I didn't give you any details when I wrote to you several times. How could you stamp it?"
Wu Juhou was stunned, and then said in a daze: "It was the fault of the officials, and I must have missed the letter. That's right, the money was borrowed from the Ministry of Revenue from the public, with an interest of 5 cents and a one-year period. The one who went to the navy was built, one was to build a new warship, purchase firearms, and add some spring clothes."
Su Song said: "I looked through the account books sent by the Ministry of Revenue. Since last year, the number of people allocated to the navy has exceeded 3 million. Do I really need so much?"
Wu Juhou blinked his eyes and said with a sigh: "Su Xianggong also knows that the navy has gone from nothing to something, and there is money everywhere, and the Ministry of Revenue is in a dilemma, asking the Ministry of War to save some money, but they still urged them again and again, and the officials supported them. The officials were pieced together, and there was nothing they could do."
Su Song said: "I can't take care of your Ministry of Revenue, but the source and where your Ministry of Revenue's money must be clear. The Consultative Yuan will set up a special audit room to design the expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue. If necessary, local feedback will be required. Eliminate the work of the Ministry of Revenue and ensure that it is practical."
Wu Juhou's fat face moved and suddenly said, "I heard that Su Xianggong has two great-grandsons who also participated in this Enko?"
Su Song set up an endgame on the chessboard, looked up at Wu Juhou, and said, "Zhang Zihou asked you to come? Go back and tell him that I won't stop him, but he must do what he should do well and don't let me catch the handle."
