She Song

Chapter 81
"No reason!"

Hu Cao joined the army and slapped the document on the table and shouted angrily at Lu Tong.

"Executive Lu, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are on a high branch! Is this document of yours intended to embarrass Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Lv is also a member of the Kaifeng Mansion, so he naturally shares the honor and disgrace. Why do you say this when you join the army?"

Lu Tong had a surprised expression on his face.

In fact, he knew the cause of Hucao's anger.

Anyone who has a low-level official under his command suddenly becomes the same level as himself will always feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, he took the opportunity to discuss relief for Caipu in order to humiliate Lu Tong.

But Lu Tong was not embarrassed at all.

According to Han Xiaoyao's words: "For those who are jealous of talents, there is no need to struggle or defend. As long as our affairs are completed, he will naturally feel more uncomfortable!"

Originally, Lu Tong was promoted to be in charge of Cai Po matters, and it didn't matter to Cang Cao to join the army. However, this preparation document was indeed "excessive" and also involved his own scope of authority, so he had to take a stand.

"Specialist Lu may have just taken up his new post and is not familiar with the affairs. This proposal is indeed putting the cart before the horse. Once spread, it will really make everyone laugh!"

Lu Tong bowed and saluted: "Everyone, Lu always thinks twice before acting. I really don't know what is ridiculous in the opinion letter?"

Hu Cao joined the army and finally seized the opportunity. He picked up the document and read in a straight tone: "To raise three thousand guan by lottery to help the refugees, I would like to allocate money, property and manpower equivalent to [-] guan... This is Lu Is it written by the special agent himself?"

Lu Tong nodded and confirmed that it was indeed written by himself.

Everyone in the hall understood it as soon as they heard it.

Things that can be solved with three thousand guan actually cost [-] guan. Isn't this what a fool does?
Hu Cao joined the army and glanced at Lu Tong triumphantly, and said sternly to the governor: "It's not that we are in trouble, but it is really ridiculous for Chief Lu to exchange six thousand guan of expenses for [-] guan of relief money. Please ask the governor to reject the submission and order it to be rectified!"

As Guo Fuyin was young, he was very aware of the intrigues among his subordinates. However, Caipu was an official order, and Lu Tong was considered a semi-appointed one, so he had to save some face.

"Commissioner Lu, do you have any explanation for the opinions of the two soldiers who joined the army?"

Lu Tong looked around at the crowd and said, "Sir, sir, in fact it is not accurate to exchange six thousand strings for three thousand strings! Because many of the expenses are fixed assets and can be used for a long time.

If converted into ten times and twenty times, the cost can be reduced a lot, and maybe a few hundred strings can be exchanged for three thousand strings! "

Hu Cao frowned and immediately retorted: "It's impossible to say that the refugees in Dibei returned to their hometowns within a month or two, so why did they come ten or twenty times? Besides, the relief for Caipu was only a temporary thing. Isn't it clear to Commissioner Lu?"

Lu Tong asked unambiguously: "In this case, is it feasible to reduce donations and expenses by half?"

Three thousand strings shouldn’t be too much, right?
Hu Cao Canjun smiled in his heart: don't talk about three thousand strings, if you can take away a hair, I will lose today!

"Specialist Lu, as the saying goes: A carrot is a pit. The daily expenses of the government office have been filed years ago. You can ask everyone here, do you have any balance for your expenses?"

What Hu Cao joined the army made others alert immediately.

It is obvious that the imperial court is tight on money. The Ministry of Revenue not only defaults on arrears, but also mishandles the delivery of goods. Last year, the delivery of goods was [-]%, and this year it may be [-]%.

Nowadays, one's eyes widen even if a penny is paid. It is absolutely impossible for these three thousand guans to go out of the government office's own account!
Lu Tong looked around the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion and asked expectantly: "Is this what you all mean?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu Tong sighed, raised his hands to the palace and said: "With the grace of the official family and the entrustment of the governor, Lv is in charge of the relief work for Caipu. If he fails in the mission because of lack of money and food, and brings the official family into injustice, I will It's not a big deal to be dismissed from office, but the governor and his colleagues will also be in disgrace, right?" This new trick of Caipu is just a whim of the officials. After a while, no one will mention it, and Lu Tong will be thrown into the shadow of no one. corner.

Lu Tong, the villain who clings to Xing Jin, now wants to drag everyone into the water, we must not give him any chance!
Hucao joined the army and said jokingly again: "The official family is sage, the governor appoints people on their merits, and I know that Executive Officer Lu is good at making something out of nothing, so don't refuse! I think in this snowy season, Tokyo can still enjoy fresh river fish, all because of your Excellency What a great achievement!"

Everyone pretended to be confused about this matter, but once it was made clear at this moment, it was absolutely impossible for Kaifeng Mansion to help Lu Tong from top to bottom.

It's obvious that when you, Lu Tong, made a fortune by fishing, except for the Hu Cao, the other five Cao Cao and even the Prefectural Judge and others didn't see anything. We are not fools.

Lu Tong also had to secretly scold Hu Cao for joining the army, even if he didn't pay for the meal, he even smashed the table in the end!
Shameless thief!

Guo Fuyin nodded slightly, and everyone agreed unanimously, smiling and approving. It was a rare atmosphere of harmony in the lobby.

Cangcao Junjun finally suggested: "This matter is just as Hucao Junjun said. It is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to make a living without rice. I, Cangcao Cao, are really powerless. Either ask the court to allocate money, or ask the special agent to find another good strategy, or ask the governor to make a decision. !"

Just when everyone was paying attention to how Guo Fuyin handled this document, Lu Tong stepped forward and took out another document from his sleeve and presented it directly to Fuyin.

"Since the previous opinion letter has caused objections from my colleagues and made things difficult for the governor, I have another idea, which can solve the dilemma of having no rice to cook without spending a penny!"

Huh?
Only then did everyone realize that Lu Tong's document was probably the other party's real trump card.

In front of everyone, Guo Fuyin had to take the document and read it carefully.

Hu Cao saw that Fu Yin had a strange look on his face, sometimes confused, sometimes hesitant, and suddenly enlightened. When he saw Lu Tongqi calm and calm, he felt more and more uneasy.

Everyone showed curious expressions, wondering what magical method Lu Tong had proposed.

After a while, Guo Fuyin handed the document to Cang Cao and said expressionlessly: "Everyone, take a look and discuss it."

It didn't take long for all the government departments to know about Lu Tong's plan.

Following the system of Jiu Pu, the Hanji Chamber of Commerce was granted the right to specialize in Cai Pu, and the amount raised was increased to [-] gu, [-] were used for the refugees in Dibei, [-] were written off as purchasing expenses, and [-] were used as Hanji's surplus, while Kaifeng Prefecture only Supervisory powers are required.

Hu Cao joined the army and reviewed it again and again, knowing that this matter could not be stopped.

This system has long been established as a practice and is understandable.As for Han Ji's surplus, he has to pay six thousand guan of expenses first, so the [-]% profit is not high in any aspect.

Secondly, because Kurasao does not have to raise money or bear losses, he will no longer persist in his opposition.

Finally, Fu Yin has the power of supervision. As long as Han Ji is not stupid, he will naturally benefit from it.

What's more, if you do well and have merit, you can only blame Han Ji and Lu Tong if you don't do well. Such a good deed has merit but no fault, and you won't offend your colleagues, so why not do it?
I had already targeted Lu Tong just now. If I forcefully boycott him again this time, I am afraid that I will get a bad name of jealousy of talents. What's more, it is a mission authorized by the officials, and it is a good deed to help the refugees. I must not obstruct it again and again, otherwise the charge of "disobedience to the emperor" will be confirmed. Got it!

Seeing Hu Cao pinching his nose and not saying a word, all the Cao Cao were smart people, and they all understood it. After a circle, the document was returned to Guo Fuyin's hands.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Guo Fuyin weighed it for a moment and determined that there would be no problem, so he happily wrote and gave instructions.

Can!
Walking out of Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Tongshen was impressed by Han Xiaoyao's accuracy in preparing for a rainy day.

Sure enough, with the new things and new people, Kaifeng Mansion not only had no help, but was also very cunning and resorted to any means.

Therefore, if you can show that you can't, if you are humble and arrogant, if you are unprepared, if you are not prepared, you will win.
