The whip was blown, the court was inaugurated, civil and military officials filed in, and Eunuch Suan stood outside the hall as usual, like a clay statue of a Bodhisattva.
The delegation was the last to enter, but only the Goguryeo delegation was allowed in during the roll call.
When Gao Minglin entered the hall, he paused and looked back.
"Grand Eunuch." Gao Minlin asked in a low voice, "Won't the Grand Commander go to court?"
Wenwu was surprised: "Why do you need to ask the commander-in-chief?"
"this…"
Wen and Wu asked tentatively: "The commander-in-chief was looking for an envoy last night?"
"Found it."
Knowing that the old eunuch was the emperor's servant, Gao Minglin said angrily: "The commander-in-chief clearly said last night that he could produce ironclad evidence. How can he get it if he doesn't come?"
"It turns out that your envoy already knows the truth of the case. Just wait and see, the general will come to court."
"But the court has started now."
"Sometimes the commander-in-chief goes to court later, sometimes earlier."
"When is it early?"
"If you wake up early, you will go earlier, and if you wake up later, you will go later. But we can't say for sure. If the commander-in-chief wants to come, he will come. If he doesn't want to come, he won't come."
Gao Minglin opened his mouth and muttered in Goguryeo - this guy is so fucking arrogant.
Wenwu frowned: "What your envoy just said was..."
Gao Mingli: "General Han is a good minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Wen Wu smiled and nodded, asking you to tell the fuck.
Entering the main hall, Gao Minglin stood behind the officials of Honglu Temple.
It is worth mentioning that Shao Hong was also very troubled. At night, Han You said that the case had been found out and that he did not need to resign. The problem was that he didn’t say anything else. He didn’t know the details, the arrangement, or what he meant. have no idea.
Following the announcement of the court, Lao Ba was the first to speak: "Yesterday, the Internal Supervisor received a report from You Mingtang, the magistrate of Yongcheng. The construction of the official road in Changyuan has been completed. He said that he wanted to build the official road to Yongcheng."
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. Six Goguryeo envoys died last night. Why don't you talk about such a big thing, but talk about road construction?
And it’s not right to talk about building roads. It’s not that building official roads is not important. It’s that the money for road construction was originally obtained by Four Seasons Villa, and “roads” were used to pay for materials. Four Seasons Villa does it every day, doing big things and small things. , I worked during the day and at night, just rolled up my sleeves and worked. Various constructions continued, which required a lot of labor and materials. In the end, part of the labor and materials money was converted into "manpower" to build roads.
In fact, this matter can no longer be explained clearly. It is said that the road was built by Four Seasons Villa. It is an official road and is under the control of the imperial court. But to be more serious, what the imperial court said does not count. Han You recruited the manpower to open it. Wages, to be more serious, official roads are not for private use. Official roads are for official purposes, with the word "guan". To be more serious, building official roads is to find work for the people, not to find work for the people in the capital.
Whenever winter comes, as long as it is a project at Four Seasons Villa, people in Beijing can enjoy priority rejection for free with their local household registration. Only refugees from other places can get priority for work.
It involved refugees and common people, as well as matters involving the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, which were also resolved by Han You.
It's over. The original intention and purpose of building the road was to extract mines, and it had something to do with the Ministry of War. After all, these mountain mines were to be transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ordnance Supervision under the Ministry of War.
So no one bothered to ask about this bad debt, and even the Ministry of Works was unwilling to calculate it in detail. Officials from the Ministry of Works just thought that if they eat meat at Four Seasons Villa, they can just give them a sip of soup. You know, other government offices don’t even have soup. Nothing to drink.
Now that the road has been built, Yongcheng wants to build the road. Who will spend the money? The court or the Four Seasons Villa?
After mentioning it, it was impossible for everyone to ignore Lao Ba, and Situ Yu walked out.
"Your Majesty, although the treasury now has money and food, there are still many things to be decided and done. If the money and food are used to build roads, I'm afraid..."
Situ Yu didn't speak too thoroughly, he understood everything.
Han You went to Nanguan. After coming back, the happiest person must be the Ministry of Household Affairs, which was pulling "money" back and calculated it by cart.
The problem is that Lao Ba now wants to go to the East China Sea and Qianying Island, so he has to save some money and spend it urgently. If there is a war in the future, he will need money for shipbuilding, recruiting troops, and food and wages.
"Don't worry, Mr. Situ."
Zhu Xingsheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had just taken office a few months ago, came out and said: "You Mingtang, the prefect of Yongcheng, has already submitted the regulations to the Ministry of Household Affairs. As long as the people do not stop working, a certain amount of money and grain will be distributed by Yongcheng."
The ministers whispered to each other, isn't this nonsense? The tax money is the tax money of the country, not Yongcheng tax money, let alone You Mingtang's private wealth.
There are tax dollars from various states and governments that are used locally, but you have to tell the court first. If the tax money is a huge amount, you have to go through the court first, and you have to take off your pants and fart before talking.
To take a step back, even if you use tax money without taking off your pants and farting, you still have to "ask for instructions." It doesn't just mean saying hello to the Ministry of Works. It has to go to the Ministry of Revenue, who will propose it and discuss it in the court.
Looking at the Ministry of Industry's appearance, You Mingtang clearly meant "informing" instead of "asking for instructions."
Situ Yu and the officials from the Household Department were a little unhappy, and Sun Shouting couldn't stand it anymore.
If you follow the rules in everything, you all know that Yongcheng is now "developed" and the tax revenue is far ahead, but even so, you can't be arrogant.
Many people sneered in their hearts, You Mingtang was Han You's man, so being so arrogant would not bring trouble to Han You.
Zhu Xingsheng smiled slightly when he saw the faces of the ministers.
"According to You Zhifu, this month's tax revenue has exceeded 320,000 guan, of which 314,000 guan was obtained by Yongcheng Four Seasons Villa. Due to the unfair official channels, it was not possible to connect the north and the south. Many caravans , merchants, and tourists cannot enter the city, Yongcheng is already..."
"Seize the coquettishness?"
Sun Shouting suddenly stood up: "How much tax money is there in Yongcheng, in January, not quarterly?"
"Three hundred and twenty thousand strings."
"Cultivation!" Sun Shouting was immediately excited and waved his hand as if he was having an epileptic seizure: "Let him practice it, and practice it to death!"
The corner of Lao Ba's mouth on the dragon throne slightly rose, he obviously already knew the situation in Yongcheng. While lamenting that the so-called caravans, merchants, and traveling aristocratic families had money, he felt happy that they didn't want it, because there were also people in the palace. He took part in the Yongcheng Four Seasons Villa.
"Then let's settle it like this. Don't treat the people who build the road badly."
Lao Ba Jinkou's words were confirmed, and he changed the subject: "The Military Supervisor of Xunyang Road is ruthlessly squandering people's lives and stealing people's land. There is no good person in the Military Supervisor of the same line, from the top to the Supervisor, down to the civil servants. Nothing is evil, nothing is greedy, where are the officials!"
Many ministers felt their hearts thumping, Xunyang said, Donghai Xunyang said!
The officials in the Ministry of Personnel were all confused. The selection and appointment of Xunyang Road Arms Supervisor had nothing to do with the imperial court in Beijing. Those who were selected by themselves were just to say hello to the imperial court. Donghai has always been like this. Besides, then He has been working as the Military Supervisor for more than ten years. Not to mention that he has nothing to do with the current Minister of Civil Affairs, Chao Wenli. Going forward, it has nothing to do with the previous Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhao Tai.
This is what happened, and what the situation was, Chao Wenli, the Minister of Civil Affairs, could only stand up.
"The old minister made an oversight. When he first took charge of the official department, he failed to take everything into consideration. The old minister is aware of his crime."
There are three veterans in a row. It is obvious that I made an oversight, but it has nothing to do with me. I have only been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a long time, but I know that I was wrong. It is not a big deal. You can do whatever you want.
The emperor on the dragon throne just nodded slightly: "Thorough investigation."
Chao Wenli was filled with confusion when he heard the word "thorough investigation". He had been startled just now, thinking that something else had been revealed and he was causing trouble. However, the emperor just called "thorough investigation", which meant that he could return to the class.
Raising his head slightly and looking at the expressionless Emperor, Chao Wenli felt relieved and returned to the class.
As everyone knows, this is just because Wenwu and Lao Ba just said that Han You "may" go to court today, interrupting Lao Ba's original plan.
