At the Ministry of War, Luo Zhang was sitting on a chair in his office, drinking tea and thinking about how to extract some money from Yan Lide and Yan Liben.
It's not that his current government office is too dilapidated, but that his government office is too simple, with a table, a chair, a bookshelf and nothing else, which makes Luo Zhang a little unhappy.
Just now, he saw a lot of furnishings and some decorations in Li Ji's government office, but when he arrived here, there was nothing. This made Luo Zhang feel that there was something fishy in it. He didn't need to think about it to know that this must be the Liu Tao just now. do.
Luo Zhang really doesn't like this kind of small character. He is already at a very high level now. The people he comes into contact with are either the prince or his majesty, or they are the first and second-rank officials of the royal family. Like Liu Tao, they are very interested in him. It doesn't pose any threat at all, it's just an itch at most.
Of course, if he dares to stretch out his claws, Luo Zhang won't mind cutting off his claws!
Just when Luo Zhang was thinking about how to get some money from the two brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben, several people walked in outside the door.
The leader was none other than Liu Tao, and the few people around him whom he had just met seemed to be a few small leaders.
"Sir, these are some memorials that have been accumulated in the past and have been screened and screened by us. Please comment on them as soon as possible so that some things can be distributed as soon as possible to prevent the soldiers below from waiting too long!" Liu Tao pointed at him just now! Asking people to move in a pile of boxes, a memorial half as tall as a person said.
Looking at the memorial that was half a man tall, Luo Zhang snorted in his heart. Are you so eager to cause trouble for yourself?
Sure enough, a small role is a small role, far behind those old foxes like Changsun Wuji. This is a way to show off one's power without concealing it. Do you really think that you are easy to bully?
Luo Zhang stood up, walked to the memorials, picked up the top one and started reading.
"Hongnong, 520 training swords were damaged, 86 pairs of leather armors, 356 pairs of boots..."
After reading to the end, Luo Zhang paused, then picked up the second book and started reading.
I read three memorials in a row, and the general situation is similar. They are all memorials reporting training losses, soldiers injured in training, and requiring the payment of pensions.
After reading this, Luo Zhang also had some understanding of some of the responsibilities of the Right Assistant Minister.
However, does he, the right servant, have to take care of all this?
With so many memorials, even if he reads them one by one, it will probably take him a few days to read them. There will be follow-up, so he will be extremely busy?
Obviously, this is the pit dug by Liu Tao.
Luo Zhang sneered at this. Liu Tao's calculation was indeed good. Others might have been blinded or anxious, but Luo Zhang didn't, because Liu Tao forgot the most important thing, that is, he is the right minister of the Ministry of War. It is his Shangguan, not Liu Tao who is the Shangguan.
Do you think you can scare yourself with these memorials? How stupid!
"Have you read all these things?" Luo Zhang dropped the memorial and returned to his chair and asked calmly.
"Report to Mr. Luo, we have read all of these and brought them to you for review!" Liu Tao said respectfully, without any trace of trying to harm Luo Zhang.
"Now that you've seen it, what else do you want to show me? Just do it this way: give things to those who deserve something, and give money to those who deserve money. I've already said it, don't bother me with such trivial matters. Besides, , one thing I want to warn you is that you have read these memorials. If something goes wrong, I will indeed be unlucky, but before I am unlucky, I will make him unlucky first, so please review the memorials carefully. , just do whatever you have to do, do you understand what I say?" Luo Zhang said coldly.
"Sir, this... this is against the rules. We reviewed it correctly, but you have to confirm it, sir!" Liu Tao was a little dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Luo Zhang didn't answer his question at all, but kicked the ball back. Not only that, Luo Zhang also blocked the possibility of him digging a hole in the memorial for Luo Zhang. How could this be possible? In this way, how could he regain the position of Right Minister.
"Rules? I want to ask who made these rules? Is it Master Shangshu? Is it His Majesty? If not, you wouldn't have made these rules, right?" Luo Zhang stared at Liu Tao.
"Ah, this... this... Sir, you are joking. How can I have the courage? This rule has been in place since the establishment of the Ministry of War, and it has been in use ever since." Liu Tao explained.
"Oh, the rules were set by people in the past, but what do you do to me? Now I am the right minister of the Ministry of War. What I say is the rule. If you don't want to listen, you can leave at any time. I won't stop you, but as long as you are here On this day, you have to follow my rules, and the same goes for everyone else. If you don't want to do it, get out of here. I still don't believe that I can't find anyone to do it. Come to think of it, there are many people under you who want to be in the position and are willing to do this. Yes!" Luo Zhang sneered.
Liu Tao and others couldn't help but change their expressions when the words were heard. They really didn't expect Luo Zhang to be so strong and unreasonable. He wanted to drive them away on his first day in office. This unreasonable way of playing cards caught several people off guard. !
"How are you going? Should you leave or stay? If you don't say anything, I will assume that you are leaving!" Luo Zhang said with a playful smile.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. How can we leave? I will go over these memorials right now and make sure not to disturb you in the slightest!"
"Me too, I will review the memorial now and won't disturb your lord!"
Liu Tao was a little dumbfounded. Just now, his colleague who was standing on a united front with him, who was about to attack Luo Zhang, actually changed his attitude at any time. In the end, he was not a human being inside and out. It is not good for him to oppose now, which is tantamount to standing with everyone. It is not good not to oppose people's opposites. It is tantamount to surrendering to Luo Zhang.
Seeing several colleagues sharing the memorial, Liu Tao really wanted to go up and give them a few kicks. Traitors, they are all traitors!
Reality is stronger than people, and he intends to confront Luo Zhang, but he knows that it will not end well. If he is not on good terms with Shangguan, he will be transferred as soon as possible!
Once he is transferred, all his hard work to get to this position will be in vain!
Even if you beat him to death, you can't leave!
"Luo Zhang, you won this round, but don't be complacent. We still have a long way to go, let's wait and see!" Liu Tao secretly felt angry in his heart, and finally lowered his head to move the memorial.
"Hate value from Liu Tao +1000"
"From..."
Listening to the system prompts in his mind, Luo Zhang smiled happily. Liu Tao can be taken care of. He is simply a hatred value-generating machine. With him always around to create hatred points, he can smash eggs again. Got it!
Seeing Liu Tao and the others leaving, Luo Zhang shook his head slightly. If he was still unfamiliar with handling this kind of thing before, it is not a problem at all now!
With Liu Tao and others helping him handle the memorial, Luo Zhang naturally felt at ease.
With nothing going on, Luo Zhang strolled to Li Ji's government office. Seeing Luo Zhang's carefree look, Li Ji's eyes lit up and he said, "Has everything been taken care of?"
"Master Li, you sound like you are doubting my ability." Luo Zhang said slowly.
"No, why would I think so? It's just that you finished your work so quickly, which makes me curious!" Li Ji said with a smile.
"It's nothing, just some memorials. It doesn't take much time. Just let the people below carefully review it!" Luo Zhang waved his hand pretending to be cool.
"You...you mean that you gave all the memorials to the people below to review?" Li Ji stared.
"Yes, there is nothing here, just some weapons, leather armor, and boots. They should be able to handle it!" Luo Zhang said nonchalantly.
"Confused, you are confused!" Li Ji scolded.
"Master Li, what does this mean? Why am I confused?" Luo Zhang said without knowing what was going on.
"The reason why I want you to read it again is because someone has done it like you before. As a result, the person below falsely reported losses, and the person who reviewed the memorial was bribed. The two colluded to defraud the money. If not for the uneven distribution of the spoils in the end. The commotion started, and I don’t know how long it will take for this matter to be discovered. From then on, we have to go through the memorial!" Li Ji explained.
"Well, there is actually someone who is more foresighted than me. This is a master. Master, Mr. Li, can you tell me who this master is?" Luo Zhang asked curiously.
Li Ji rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The entire Tang Dynasty can be so lazy, I'm afraid you are the only two who would do such a thing!"
"You also know that man, Cheng Yaojin, Uncle Cheng!" Li Ji said slowly.
