: A big fight

Xu Jingchang repeatedly and repeatedly, directly attacked the spiritual defense lines of several Lord Shangshu. They really wanted to break out and had a big fight with this gangster, and would rather die than follow.

But the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji was a clever person. He stood at the window and looked out. The heads of people were everywhere, and the strong smell of blood was lingering. His former colleagues were in different places.

On the one hand, Zhu Di governed the country with an iron fist, which was different from the past. On the other hand, Xu Jingchang was too deceitful and difficult to deal with.

"After such a big greed case, even though it has been in the past four years, we cannot neglect it. We should reflect on ourselves."

With him saying this, those who dared not speak, could only look at Jian Yi.

After a while, Jian Yi said: "The state affairs are complicated, hurry up and send them to the Tongzhengsi Department as soon as possible, so don't delay major issues."

After saying that, Jian Yi took the lead and left in a hurry, and the ministers had to disperse with anger.

Only Xu Jingchang and Wu Shan seemed to have won the battle and won the victory.

Walking halfway through the way, a scent of fragrance came from the street. Wu Shan looked over and immediately said, "Sir, it's a roast duck, this is a unique name for our Jinling. The official wants to invite you to have a meal."

This time, Zhu Di did not go to the Tongzhengsi. After he had more cabinets, Zhu Di's behavior became more and more like an emperor and no longer did it himself.

Xu Jingchang came to the palace again, and Zhu Di smiled and was very satisfied.

As a result, before noon, Zhu Di sent someone to invite him into the palace.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, and the joy on his face became stronger and stronger, and he finally laughed out loud.

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment and glared at Wu Shan viciously, "You will be ruined in this life! Your vision is too small!"

Xu Jingchang shook his head, "You are not comprehensive, just grade is not enough. Master Yao is still a super rank Duke! The strength of this yamen depends on the annual budget and the number of officials controlled. The more people, the more money the more, the stronger the naturally stronger."

"Sir, what do you think of this? Could it be that we have increased our budget and imported people?"

Wu Shan said: "Of course it's a grade. Just like an adult, you are the third-rank Tongzheng envoy, one of the nine ministers!"

Wu Shan couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. After a while, they found a place to lean on the side, a pot of wine and a bay roast duck, with fragrant grease.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is the case. The Tongzheng Department is currently responsible for counting the work of various departments and corpses and following up the progress of the main government affairs... I was wondering if I could pick some of them and publish them on the newspaper and sell them to the public?"

"I'm still worried that you are young and don't know how to command the Sixth Ministry. Now it seems that I'm too worried. Your move is very good." Zhu Di picked up the remarks of the Sixth Ministry and the Nine Ministers and shook at him.

"The lower official Hanlin reviewed Hu Yan and met with Tongzheng."

What else can Wu Shan say? He can only go down and arrange it.

It's really bad for all officials to get into such a difficult opponent.

"Of course it is what Your Majesty needs. I am promoted by Your Majesty and a serious relative. I will never look to outsiders, right?"

Three days later, someone came to report.

"Okay, you are so kind. I feel very comforted, I feel very comforted!"

"Honglu Temple? They are responsible for morning courts, etiquette, and banquets. If we merge the Honglu Temple, it will become a canteen. We are responsible for the royal banquet. The six ministers and nine ministers come here, and we will also treat guests... What's the point in it?"

Zhu Di frowned, and was very concerned about the government affairs, so he was naturally responsible for the publication. However, this publication was from government offices in various places and was not sold to the public.

When he heard about asking for money, Zhu Di became big.

Wu Shan immediately said: "Sir, it's so rich here. When have you ever seen a starving cook?"

Wu Shan thought about it seriously, "Sir, why don't we take the job of Honglu Temple?"

Xu Jingchang made a rumor, "Your Majesty, now the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice have all gone to me to have a meeting. I will always have to buy some banquets for them! It is related to the dignity of the country, and I hope your Majesty will be careful."

The two of them started eating, and Xu Jingchang smiled on his face, "I said Lao Wu, look at our Tongzhengsi, what are you missing?"

"These people finally know that they are afraid. All they need is to work hard and be treacherous. They must not fool things like Jianwen in recent years. If I want to achieve great things, I need to spur all officials at all times. You have done it for me."

After pausing for a moment, he said again: "The Lord knows that he is very fed and dressed, and he doesn't like these, but the Lord can only afford this."

Wu Shan said in confusion: "Sir, can you spend all that much money?"

"Stupid!" Xu Jingchang said bluntly: "There is only money you can't get, no money you can't spend. You have to have confidence in the wasteful ability of all officials."

Wu Shan had nothing to say, so he could only eat it and eat it like revenge.

"You want money, he also wants money. I have just been exempted from taxes from military and county taxes for three years, and the rest of the places have also been exempted from half of the taxes... The three halls need to be rebuilt, so many meritorious ministers need to be rewarded, and they are all spending money everywhere. As a result, you all care about me for money. Who do I care about? Will I increase the burden on the people?"

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Xu Jingchang said again: "Your Majesty, the Tongzheng Department is short of staff. Can you select a few elite soldiers and generals to join the Tongzheng Department and deal with the matter of the Dibao?"

Xu Jingchang said: "What's this? Although I don't like being an official, since I'm in the officialdom, I can't lose power. Look at the Ministry of Personnel in charge of personnel selection, the Ministry of Revenue holds the household registration of money and grain, the Ministry of War holds the military power, and the Ministry of Justice is responsible for the name of punishment... Everyone has a stolen house and can decide it themselves, but we don't have such power. When we talk about it, it seems like we are inferior to the government."

"Self-raising? Do you have a way?" Zhu Di said in confusion.

Xu Jingchang immediately said: "Your Majesty, if I ask the Ministry of Revenue, I will inevitably be controlled by others. How can I preside over the meeting in the future? I dared to propose that the Tongzheng Department raise funds by itself."

Wu Shan touched his nose, feeling helpless. From this point of view, he was really a bit unqualified.

Xu Jingchang said: "Look, now, although we can host the Semi-department meeting, we are just receiving important officials from various ministries to come to the meeting. To put it bluntly, we are just a place to go. We lack the ability to grasp people and have no serious power."

Xu Jingchang thought in his mind, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

"Selling a residence newspaper?"

The six ministers and nine ministers sent all the comments, and Xu Jingchang immediately sent them to the palace.

Wu Shan hurriedly put down his chopsticks, "Sir, I don't know what Ji means."

Zhu Di praised him one after another, and Xu Jingchang saw the opportunity coming, then said: "I am just loyal to Your Majesty and I cannot bear the praise of Your Majesty. However, if Your Majesty wants the Tongzhengsi to play a greater role, I dare to ask that Your Majesty can increase your budget and give me some more money?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "That's right, you can recruit some craftsmen who know how to publish books now. By the way, find some more, be familiar with Yingtian's situation and know the secret knowledge of all things in court officials. I want all officials to live in trembling at all times!"

Zhu Di snorted: "You are decent, where is my decent? Anyway, I don't have money, so you can find a way to find the Ministry of Revenue."

Xu Jingchang hurriedly cried out for his wrongfulness, "Your Majesty, I am also working hard to raise money. I think that instead of letting the people make nonsense, it is better for the court to report it by itself, allow the people to buy it, and raise some money to increase income."

Wu Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, are you not satisfied yet? I never thought that Tongzhengshi would be what he is today."

Zhu Di thought for a while, "I will make arrangements for you afterwards."

Zhu Di was slightly stunned and asked, "What are you going to print?"

He called Wu Shan over again, "Old Wu, how do you think of the status of a yamen?"

At this time, the way to eat roast duck with lotus leaf cakes was not yet discovered. Wu Shan cut off a duck leg with a knife and placed it respectfully in front of Xu Jingchang.

Wu Shan was completely stunned. This person's desire for revenge is really strong!

Just writing a thought is not enough, but you have to continue to torment.

"What's the hell do you think?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Old Wu, I know what you think. I'll eat this meal. You go buy some wine and let's have a drink."

After talking with Zhu Di, Xu Jingchang was satisfied and happily returned to Tongzhengsi.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "The budget has not increased, but the authority has become much greater. We can report it to the takeaway residence."

Originally, Hu Yan entered the Wenyuan Pavilion and was considered a bachelor of the palace next to Zhu Di.

Now he is asked to come to Tongzhengsi to be responsible for the affairs of the official report, which shows how much Zhu Di attaches importance to it.

"Very good. When Mr. Hu is here, we can show our skills and do a big fight!"

I admire me a little, but I actually got another chapter... I stopped having a fever, but my throat began to hurt...
