I want to be a grandson

Chapter 475 Year-end Rewards
"The Ministry of Rites will conduct a general examination in the spring of next year. This is a major event for the imperial court. It is also expected to establish county schools in thirteen counties. Among them, it is necessary to build schools and find teaching and education. This is another large sum of money. ...

Also, after the royal family can be born in the harem next year, there will be a lot of celebrations...

Also, His Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager, has already got married this year, and maybe he will have an heir next year. This is a big event, so it cannot be sloppy... That's why the Ministry of Rites will have so much budget for next year..."

Qin Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also said, "Your Ministry of Rites has finished talking. Now it's our Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry plans to build six large canals next year, which are distributed in two on the Han River, two on the Huai River, one on Poyang Lake, and one on Dongting Lake. , and dozens of small canals,

Moreover, Fengyang, the central capital, should also be repaired and refurbished, otherwise, who can bear the burden of His Majesty's crime?This matter cannot be delayed,

In addition, there are two mines to be exploited, and 30 mu of wasteland to be reclaimed, and you all know how much the Weapons Bureau spends, especially for those firearms. Your Highness's formation of the Shenji Battalion is not just a show!
Just the ammunition consumed every month, the scrapped guns and artillery are almost piled up into hills!So the Ministry of Industry needs at least 600 million guan next year..."

In a public room, the ministers of six ministries came together with the person in charge, and everyone explained the plans of their ministries and the money they needed.

But these words, the most important thing is to say to the household department!

Because the Ministry of Households is in charge of finances and holds Daming's money bag, if the Sixth Department wants to do things, it has to get funds from the Ministry of Households.

Which one doesn't want to ask for more money?
After all, with ample money, you don't have to look forward and backward when doing things, and be intimidated.

Besides, now is the time for the other five parts of the cake, so how can you not grab more, and if you want to do other things then who will ask for the money?
So now I can ask for a little more!It's better than cramming!
"600 sticks!"

Yu Xin widened his eyes and said: "Qin Butang, you really dare to ask for it! Your Ministry of Industry needs 600 million, which is really a big mouth! All the projects you have done can be used by civilians. How much will it cost?

Besides, when the time comes, the local government and those wealthy gentry will donate some, and even less money will be used! "

Fu Youwen said with an angry look: "Exactly! This year your Ministry of Industry spent 410 million 200 guan, and because of several major projects, you only have [-] million guan left, which is totally unreasonable!"

Qin Kui stroked his beard without feeling ashamed at all: "You can't say that, the Ministry of Industry didn't spend much money this year, it's because the Ministry of Industry was frugal and didn't do much...

But the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the world's projects, and there are so many things that are inextricably linked. When you encounter mountains, you will split the road, and you will build bridges when you encounter rivers. The more the Ministry of Industry does, the more blessed you and Daming will be!So 600 million guan is definitely not much, just this may not be enough! "

Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't listen anymore, and said with a test in his hand, "Qin Butang, I think what they said is right, your Ministry of Industry is too ugly! Even if you increase it, there is no reason to increase it so much." !

The money has been taken away by your Ministry of Industry, so what about our Ministry of War?What about the other parts? "

"The Ministry of War has to change defenses in several places this year, and organize training for soldiers. You all know how much money the cavalry will spend on food. Our Ming Dynasty lacks war horses, and it is very disadvantageous on the battlefield.
If there were 20 war horses, then the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could run wild in Mobei and chase the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty to the north!Therefore, the Ministry of War needs to increase the horse administration next year, so the Ministry of War budget for next year is 500 million..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Jing couldn't help it anymore: "Ru Butang, I thought you were a gentleman after hearing what you said just now, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy for money! Five million... Hehehe,

Our Criminal Department is in charge of criminal law, prison litigation and other matters. There is no doubt about the cumbersome and important things!But the expenditure of our Ministry of Criminal Justice next year will be less than 300 million guan, um, 290 million guan will do...

You have a Ministry of Industry and a Ministry of War, which is more powerful than our two departments combined!I admire you! "

Qin Kui was not happy, "No matter what you say, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is just handling cases and redressing the people's grievances. It's not asking you to pay out. Can this be compared with our Ministry of Industry? It's 290 million to 100. I think it's [-]. Wanguan is enough”

"that is!"

Ru Yu also chimed in and said, "What Qin Butang said is true! I think so too! Why do criminal laws and prison lawsuits cost so much money? Does it cost so much to post a few notices and paint a few wanted portraits?

Our military department is in charge of the military affairs of the world!There is no comparison between them!So we take it for granted, why are you joining in the fun! "

Fu Youwen couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "Masters of the ministry, do you really regard our household department as a cornucopia and a cash cow? Do you really think that the household department's money is inexhaustible?
Don't even think about it, how much tax money the imperial court has for a year, most of what is collected is food and other items, you have to ask for it like you, even if you empty the treasury, you can't make it up! "

"Don't rush to talk about your ministries, just talk about our household department, which controls the world's land, household registration, taxation, and finance. Which official is not distributed by the household department? You want so much money, just give you all the officials' salaries never mind!"

"You can't say that. What does the household department do? It's in charge of money and food. As long as it's reasonable, why don't you give money..."

"Yes, yes, everything we do is beneficial to the country, the people's livelihood, and the country and society. This money should be allocated by the Ministry of Households..."

In the public room, there was another noise!
The household department always thinks about saving money, but the other five think about spending money. The demands of the two parties are inconsistent, and the quarrel is also reasonable.

It's a mess here, but the Chunhe Palace is full of warmth.

In a lobby, there are many gifts, each of which is packed in a box and placed together, with a note on it, which says "Huining Hou", "Founding Duke" and other different gifts. typeface.

Apparently these gifts had already been distributed and were to be given to different courtiers.

"Your Highness, this is a reward for civil and military officials on New Year's Day, please have a look at it."

Su Xin held the gift list in her hand, handed it to Zhu Yunxi with both hands, and saluted.

Zhu Yunxi took it casually, handed it to Xu Miaojin who was sitting beside him and said, "Look at it, you should worry about this kind of thing."

Xu Miaojin took it over, and said with some concern: "Your Highness, I have never presided over this matter before, and I don't know how to start in a hurry. If something goes wrong, what should I do, please Your Highness be the master... "As he spoke, he was about to hand over the gift list.

"I haven't done it before because you haven't entered the palace yet, and you have Su Xin watching over you, so how could something go wrong."

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's insistence, Xu Miaojin no longer backed down. She knew that since she had become the concubine of the Eastern Palace, she should intervene in these matters so as to share His Highness's worries.

Although it was the last time, everyone knows that this is a "New Year's gift". In fact, there are certain rules to follow in this matter.

For example, something given to a Marquis cannot be more valuable than something given to the Duke, right?You can't give more to the servant than the minister, right?
If this is the case, it is a naked humiliation!
And Su Xin has been in the palace for so many years, how could she make such a mistake.

All Xu Miaojin needs to do is to order to check it out, there is no need to do it himself.

Xu Miaojin opened the gift list and watched, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "Your Highness, why is the reward for the Duke's Mansion higher than that of other Dukes?"

Zhu Yunxi knew what she meant, so he said: "This year is your first year in the palace, so the rewards will be more generous to reflect the royal family's kindness."

But Xu Miaojin insisted: "Your Highness, it is a private matter for the Duke of Wei to marry a concubine into the East Palace, and a private matter cannot be the same as the imperial court's reward, so that it appears fair and strict, so the concubine feels that the Duke of Wei should not have this honor."

"Don't worry, I've always done this before, and there's nothing wrong with it... The courtiers all understand what's going on, so they won't say anything.
On the contrary, Enrong has decreased, and the civil and military officials will have to speculate on the relationship between the two of us...

Once a habit is formed, it is not easy to change.

For the sake of entering the palace in the first year, generous rewards have become the default rule.

Once this rule is broken, others will suspect that the imperial court is indifferent to Wei Guogong's mansion, and then they will think that the reason for the indifference is the discord between the grandson and the concubine.

It's really useless to arouse other people's discussion for a trivial matter!

But Xu Miaojin still said: "Your Highness, the etiquette cannot be discarded. If Your Highness is worried, then the remaining part will come from the concubine, and it will be counted as a reward for the family. How about it?"

"Hehehe, you..."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about it. If you're so cautious, what's the fun in life? Since the courtiers know it and understand it, don't change it."

Why do people all over the world feel that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma have a strong relationship?
That's because the relationship between the two is really close and they respect each other, but the reason why they can give the common people that impression is because Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to maintain the majesty of Queen Ma in everything he did!
The two had disputes and quarrels in private, but in front of others, they didn't leave anyone with anything to say!

Especially in the harem, no concubine is given a chance to compete with him for favor!
You must know that some actions of the emperor will make others think too much and become restless. If Zhu Yuanzhang neglected Empress Ma, would those concubines with status and background really be willing?

So in many cases, whether it is a dispute in the harem or a dispute in the former court, it is only the attitude of the superior!

Xu Miaojin was worried that Duke Wei's mansion would be too gracious, that his family would be proud of his favor, and that his family would violate the laws of the country and anger the emperor. All of these were understandable.
