Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 661 Stealing his own business

Today's Dajin is a prosperous age. Although a large part of the reason is that it has inherited the legacy of the Chengde Dynasty, it has this situation, but it is undeniable that today's Taikang Dynasty is better than the Chengde Dynasty ten years ago. More than that.

  Last year, that is, the seventh year of Taikang, the imperial court received more than 47 million yuan annually, which has basically surpassed the peak period of the Chengde Dynasty.

  Because of this, the Emperor Taikang gave the Ministry of War 3 million silver coins so straightforwardly, and at the same time, because the treasury was full, the Ministry of Household nodded in agreement.

Although this amount of money is less than 10% of the national treasury revenue, in fact, this ratio is already very terrifying. Although the income of the imperial court is huge, the imperial court also has things to do for the imperial court. Almost everything needs money. Taikang has more than 47 million yuan in seven years. After all expenses are removed, there is only a fraction left.

   In other words, the money given to the Ministry of War this time spent almost half of the balance of the entire Great Jin Dynasty last year.

   It can be seen that the imperial court attached great importance to this matter, at least the Emperor Taikang himself attached great importance to this matter.

At this juncture, the lords of the Ministry of War, who are used to sucking blood, can't move the idea of ​​3 million dollars in any case. Since Li Xin, the minister of the Ministry of War, has promised the emperor to do this well, he must do it beautifully. bright.

In the past few years, although he has not asked much, he is essentially a military officer rather than a civil officer. If he is a civil servant, even if he has achieved the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War, he must go through the Ministry of War system to do this. Don't succumb to some unspoken rules of the Ministry of War, but Li Xin doesn't have to. He can find someone from outside the Ministry of War and skip the Ministry of War to do this.

   For example... Yubayashi.

Eight years have passed since the change of the Renchen Palace in the eighteenth year of Chengde. In these eight years, to be honest, Yulinwei has received a lot of unfair treatment. For example, Yulinwei no longer rotates in the forbidden palace, becoming a A security army similar to Jinwuwei was established, and in the three years from the first year of Taikang to the third year of Taikang, the new emperor at that time was going to build Qianniuwei, and all resources were tilted towards Qianniuwei, so that Yu Lin Wei did not update even a single arrow or a piece of armor for three years.

   This situation was relieved after Li Xin returned from the southwest and became the Minister of the Ministry of War. After all, the equipment of this kind of army must be passed from the Ministry of War, so Li Xin naturally couldn't watch his "direct line" suffer.

In addition, after the change of the Imchen Palace, a large number of middle-level generals were promoted from the Yulinwei, and they were scattered in various yamen in the capital. Later, they also became the backbone. With their care, the Yulinwei life will not be over. Too bad.

   But no matter what, Habayashi, who is the Imperial Army, has indeed lost His Majesty's trust.

It is an indisputable fact that the emperor    is unwilling to use Yulinwei.

   But at this juncture, the Son of Heaven attached great importance to the matter of the Northern Expedition. Li Xin only had to speak to the Son of Heaven, and the secondment of Yu Linwei was just a matter of words.

In the entire capital, no one has used Yulinwei more easily than him. Now, half of all Yulinwei's officers from top to bottom are his former officers, and the other half are from the past eight years. , slowly infiltrating Yulinwei's external forces.

In today's Yulin and Wei battalions, the general of the left battalion is still Li Xin's mentor Wang Zhong, but the general of the right battalion is Xie Dai, the son of the Xie clan of Shanyin. cousin.

Li Xin could have stopped these **** trivial matters, but in recent years he was too lazy to participate in politics, and he was too lazy to intervene in the small affairs of Yulinwei. After all, if Yulinwei became descendants, Maybe the Yulin Langs of Yulinwei will have a better life in the capital.

  In the yamen of the Ministry of War, in the office of Shang Shu, the old servant, who was nearly seventy years old, fell into silence when he looked at the suddenly powerful Lord Shang Shu.

   He lowered his head and said, "Li Shangshu, you are the minister of the Ministry of War after all..."

  Li Xin nodded with a smile: "So I came to discuss with Shi Lang Xie, Shi Lang Xie should understand that I didn't have to come this time."

   "You can't bring outsiders to grab the authority of the Ministry of War..."

   Li Shangshu said with a smile: "I made it clear, this is only one time, what should you do in the future, whether you should make a fortune, whether you should go to jail, it has nothing to do with me as a slugger."

   Mr. Xie sat in his original position and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, the old man sighed and said, "This should be done by the Ministry of War Treasury Department, but Li Shangshu has the official seal of the Ministry of War, you can write the approval document of the Ministry of War directly without going through the Department of Treasury. Jiashang Shuyin can also do things, since you have decided to do so, the old man has no right to intervene..."

   The old man sighed deeply and stood up from the seat.

   "Xiaguan went down to work."

Li Xin patted the old man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xie Shilang doesn't have to look like this. On the surface, it seems that I, the minister, robbed my family of business, but behind the scenes, it was my colleagues in the Rescue Department. Your old man has been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, and many things should be understandable."

Li Xin skipped the Ministry of War and took this matter to himself. On the surface, it seemed that he wanted to eat alone and was unwilling to share the profit with his colleagues in the Ministry of War, but in fact, the emperor had given Li Xin, the minister of the Ministry of War, to vent. Then the people in the Ministry of War can no longer take money from these three million guans, otherwise the emperor will be unhappy.

   Today's Emperor Taikang is no longer the uneasy new monarch who sat on the throne eight years ago. He is the Emperor of Jin who has been on the throne for eight years!

  If he is unhappy, one of these people from the Ministry of War will be counted as one, and they will all have to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

  Xie Jun is also an old official who has been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years. Even if he didn't understand it at first, he would naturally understand after being mentioned by Li Xin.

He let out a deep breath, and then whispered: "Li Shangshu, you are still young, you can think about things like this, and you can do things like this, but the people below can't see so far, you can talk to them like this. If they say there is a pit ahead, they won't believe it, they have to jump in to believe it."

   "You beat them forcibly, dragged them by the head and threw them through this pit. These people won't remember your kindness, and they will point your nose at the pit and swear at your mother."

   Having said that, this Shi Lang Xie stood up and walked outside.

   Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the back of the somewhat thin old man, and sighed inwardly.

  Xie Jun said it well, he thought things were still a little idealized.

   But it doesn't matter.

   Li Xin smiled at Xie Jun's back: "Boss, Li Xin doesn't care if they scold their mother behind their backs, as long as I don't hear them face to face, I'll just assume they didn't scold them."

   "As for what they think of me personally, it's worthless."

  Li Dashangshu laughed.

   "I have inquired about the three million kuai from the Ministry of Housing. The people over there said that one million kuai has been brought to the Ministry of War. Tomorrow, I will bring Yulin Wei to the Ministry of War to move the money. When the time comes, Shi Lang Xie remember to cooperate."
