Chapter 988

Chang en was ordered to go to Chang'an palace. He felt a little uneasy in his heart and his thoughts surged.

Before he was ordered to preside over the construction of Chang'an palace. After the palace was repaired, he had been idle.

He thought that the Empress Dowager would not use him again. He also bought a house to provide for the aged. Suddenly, someone from the palace informed him that the empress wanted to see him.

Is it that there is something wrong with Chang'an palace and the empress should be held accountable?

But if you are accountable, you don't need the empress herself.

When he arrived at Chang'an palace, he was invited into his study after being informed.

There are a lot of people in the study, each with an abacus, crackling accounts.

Gu Jiu puts down the account book in his hand and beckons Chang en to talk to him.

"There is a lot of noise here. Duke Chang will follow this palace to the imperial garden?"

"I will obey your mother's orders."

Gu Jiu gets up and goes to the imperial garden.

Chang en followed suit.

"In the middle of the year, all industries need to make a mid-term settlement and estimate the market in the second half of the year. Recently, Chang'an palace in our palace is like an accountant's room. It is an abacus account book in and out. "

"It's hard for your mother!" Chang en bowed and said.

Gu Jiu stands in front of the pool railing, watching the goldfish swimming in the water.

She held out her hand, and the palace man put a box of fish food on her hand.

She sprinkled a handful of fish into the water, causing goldfish to bite one after another.

"The annual audit accounts, need to occupy the palace a lot of time and energy."

Chang en is staring at the goldfish in the pool. As soon as the empress opens his mouth, he quickly recovers his mind and concentrates.

"You want to change the situation?" He asked carefully.

Gu Jiu looked back at him and said, "Duke Chang is worthy of serving Chengzong Wende emperor, and his reaction is very fast."

Chang en bowed his head and laughed, "I don't understand why my mother mentioned these things with me. According to the old slave's understanding, there are a lot of talented people around her. The audit and accounting of accounts can be handed over to the people below. "

Gu Jiu chuckled. "In recent years, our palace has recruited a group of people from Shanhe Academy who are hopeless in imperial examinations, but have great talent in skills. They are young, healthy, energetic and energetic. They have solved many problems for our palace. But also because young, it is inevitable to act impulsively, causing some trouble. "

Chang en was silent.

Gu Jiu gently knocked on the railing, "this palace needs a person, a person who can hold the overall situation, convince the public, and have a thorough mind. This is a good candidate. My palace is optimistic about Mr. Chang. "

Chang en was surprised.

I have made numerous guesses, but I have not guessed this one.

"What the mother meant was that the old slaves would discipline the accountants?"

Gu Jiu nodded and shook his head, "this palace intends to establish an independent organization, which is called the audit department for the time being. Sihai and Huanyu's accounts are examined and approved by the audit department. The personnel on both sides should not be involved in any entanglement. In the future, when the time is ripe, the audit department will also bear the burden of auditing the accounts of various Yamen. "

Chang en's heart suddenly jumped and asked cautiously, "does your majesty know about this?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "the establishment of the audit department is the common decision of your majesty and this palace. The audit department, which seems insignificant, will play a role of a deterrent in the future. It will make every Yamen and every industrial personnel tense their skin and never stretch out their hands on money that should not belong to them. "

Chang en's face turned white. Although it was cool at the edge of the pool and there was seldom wind, he was still sweating.

"I don't know what to say, but I don't know what to say."

"Just say it. No matter what you say, this house will not be guilty. "

"Thank you very much."

Chang en considered his words, "first of all, we have no hope for the people in the palace. The only thing we can count on is money. This audit department, according to the empress's design, if the old slave is right, he will find out the expenses in the palace in the future. Once the audit department reaches into the palace, the palace people's only hope is gone. The palace people had no hope at all. The old slave could not guarantee that they would do anything crazy. This is a group of people who are not normal. They have not cut off the only way to get money. This is to hurt the enemy a thousand and lose eight hundred! "

Gu Jiu nodded, "you have a point. Any more? "

Chang en continued: "just talking about the official salary, not to mention raising a family, is to support the official himself can not support. Welcome, servants, houses, chariots, wives and children Everything costs money. If you don't reach out, Zhou's officials will live like beggars. What is the reason why people study hard and take the imperial examination? No, it's a decent life, to be a good man. If the imperial court cuts off everyone's wealth, it's no fun to be an official. "

Gu Jiu hears the speech and laughs.

She said: "the palace supports your view on cutting off the wealth of the palace people. It really needs to be careful. But as for officials, Mr. Chang is too one-sided. In this dynasty, an official must first be a Jinshi. What does Jinshi mean? Duke Chang can't help but understand it.

Jinshi means tax-free and corvee free, which means that there will be countless small businessmen to avoid the corvee and tax, and give their family property and land to Jin Shiguan. Just a master of the whole family, who has worked hard for more than ten years, can become a local tyrant. It's not easy to be a local tyrant who has to be courteous to the local government.How did the aristocratic families that had been rooted for decades, hundreds of years or even hundreds of years come from? How did those local rich people who privately opened up mineral resources come from? It evolved from the Jinshi officer. In Dazhou, no official is poor. Even Zhou Shian, who was willing to keep the poor and become an official, had not been sent things to his room in two or three days. Poor? He may not have much money, but he has never been short of food and clothing. "

Chang en cold sweat Tianjin, "old slave shallow, please forgive me."

"You are right." Gu Jiu said softly: "there are some poor officials in the court, but this number is very rare. What's more, what the palace wants to check is the accounts of the yamen, not to clear the officials of corruption and bribery. "

Chang en was a little confused, "Niang Niang means, as long as the officials don't reach out to the Yamen storehouse, will everything else matter?"

Gu Jiu sprinkles fish food, "I can't control it for the time being. Of course, if it goes too far, Jin Wuwei is not a decoration. "

After saying that, she looked at Chang en, "do you dare to bear this burden? It's a job to offend people. I have to admit nothing but money and accounts. "

Chang en's pressure is great and he laughs bitterly.

"Now, does the old slave have a choice?"

He knew the empress's intention, and it was obvious that he had no way out unless he died.

Gu Jiu laughed. "If you don't agree, you can only be sent overseas, or the northwest desert."

Chang en's face turned white and said with a bitter smile, "the old slave is scared to death."

Gu Jiu whispered a smile, "this little thing can't frighten Chang Gonggong. To be honest, Chen Dachang is in the south. It's a pity that he is too old to work. The palace allowed him to support himself and bought property for him in Jiangnan and the capital. However, the old man refused to accept the old man and said that he could not go to sea, but he could help the palace to focus on the south of the Yangtze River and fight for Yang Ji. The palace is worried that he will ruin Yang Ji's affairs by relying on his old age and selling his old one, so Zhou Miao is specially asked to hold on to this old thing. "

These remarks revealed too much inside information.

Chang en was tongue tied, but he was shocked.

"Is Chen Dachang still alive?"

"Father Chang thought he was dead?"

Chang en told the truth: "I haven't seen him for more than ten years. I heard that he went to the south. The old slave thought he had died at sea, but he was still alive. Zhou Miao went to the south, too? "

Gu Jiu chuckled and said, "in the south of the Yangtze River, aristocratic families and powerful families are well-established, and cattle, ghosts and snakes are everywhere. To deal with these local tyrants, we have to use people like Zhou Miao. "

It's a good choice to deal with ghosts and ghosts.

Compared with the upright officials, Zhou Miao and other people who are deviant in their ways.

Chang en has already figured out, "if we refuse our mother, will we go to the south to accompany the old ghost Chen Dachang?"

"You are not qualified to be with Chen Dachang. If you refuse this palace and go to the south, you will be escorted to a ship, where you will go abroad for several years to accompany a group of exiles, murderers, prisoners of war and slaves. "

Chang en was sweating.

Gu Jiuchong laughed at him, "have you thought about it?"

Chang sighed, "think about it! The old slave is willing to work in the audit department. "

"Very well! From now on, you will be the chief executive of the audit department. The former Guozijian old school will become the office of the audit department. The first task is to review and account the first quarter accounts of Huanyu and Sihai in half a month. The second task is to cooperate with the Shaofu to carry out a large-scale investigation of private mines. "

Chang en frowned, "private mine inventory? This matter has been handled by the Shao Fu before, but it has only been more than ten years. Why do you have to check it again? "

Last time, in order to crack down on the private coinage, the Shaofu carried out an inventory of the mineral resources of Dazhou in the name of mining license.

The effect is good, and the number of privately minted coins on the market is decreasing year by year.

At present, people in the market more approve of the coins cast by Shaofu because they are not adulterated and have enough materials.

As long as the government ensures the smooth circulation of official coins in the market and meets the needs of the people for coins, there is no place for private money to survive.

Of course, this is an ideal situation.

The reality is that private money has never been extinct.

Because even if it is in accordance with the Shaofu's casting technology, even if it is not adulterated at all, it still makes money.

As long as there is money in business, there will be people who will take risks.

Gu Jiu deliberated, "the main purpose of this mineral inventory is to crack down on private mining of iron ore. This palace requires you to close 50% of the iron mines. "

Chang en was so shocked that he said, "you can't be a lady! This will cause criticism from the DPRK and China, which may have unspeakable consequences. Those private mine owners have backing behind them, so they can't be easily moved. "

"This time, you have to move the miners." Gu Jiu's eyes were firm. "Shao Fu, Jin Wuwei and NEISHI province will cooperate with the audit department in auditing. The tax on minerals is not low. Ten out of ten minerals evade taxes. This is your starting point. "

Chang en was so anxious that he said, "this can never be done, and the consequences are unimaginable."

Gu Jiu smiles, "this palace knows the consequence is very serious, so this palace has prepared a retreat for you."www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
