Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 40 I will take the responsibility!

"This is the official promotion of the promotion department..."

"it's me!"

Su Guiyuan opened his eyes and stared at the other party quietly.

The atmosphere seemed to be quiet for a moment.

a long time.

Cui Jin's eyes narrowed, a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and patted his forehead in embarrassment.

"Look at my brain. These days, there are not many people in this office. I have been helping to sort out the trivial matters of these two banks and two businesses. Now that Brother Su is here, I am unruly."

"Brother Su won't blame you, right?"

While talking.

Cui Jin pointed to his left hand again, "Then let Brother Su do it. It's just a matter of sealing it. Just cover it."

Su Guiyuan held the big seal, but did not seal it as he said.

Instead, he sat down and picked up this booklet and the files lying nearby to examine it carefully.

"Brother Su, what are you doing? Don't you still believe me?" Cui Jin frowned, seeming a little annoyed.

Su Guiyuan waved his hand.

To be honest, he really almost got it stamped just now.

But fortunately, last night, my son reminded me, and I was unfamiliar with this place, so I felt a little vigilant, "This treasure banknote lifting department is an errand given to me by the Holy One. Now it is not as good as that of the minister of household affairs." When inspecting the mill, above you and me, there is the grinder, and there is the master above the grinder..."

"We were quiet people at that time, and it was not you and me who made the decision. Therefore, we just had to muddle along as brothers in the past. It was a waste of time."

"But it's not as good as it was back then."

Su Guiyuan looked at Cui Jin seriously and said: "The empty seal case has just passed, how dare I let others use this big seal without any explanation?"

"When the time comes, if something goes wrong and the Holy One really wants to investigate it, won't Brother Cui want to help Brother Cui shoulder this responsibility?"

The anger in Cui Jin's eyes flashed away, and he quickly apologized: "This is my fault."

"Brother Cui, please take a look."

After saying that, he also sat down, his attitude no longer as eager as before.

However, as soon as Su Guiyuan opened it and saw the place where the seal was used, he was shocked.

Just shout it out.

"Five million strings!"

Su Guiyuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Cui Jin, "You just asked me to decide to issue five million banknotes without even looking at it?"

Su Guiyuan felt really incredible.

This money, according to the express regulations, is half of what is issued in a year!

Although spring has just begun.

The printing had not started yet, but Su Guiyuan knew that printing and issuing treasure banknotes twice a year was no small matter. He had just arrived and hadn't seen anything yet.

Just give yourself such a big "gift"?
  Is this officialdom so scary?

"Brother Su, what are you doing? This is what our Baobao Lifting Department has always done. Spring has just begun this year, and five million coins is reasonable. Is this surprising?"

Su Guiyuan took a breath, and when he looked at Cui Jin again, his tone was already a little unfamiliar, "Since Su has come to work here, of course he has heard that the imperial court stipulates the issuance of 10 million yuan of treasure banknotes a year."

Cui Jin immediately laughed and said, "That's enough."

"No!" Su Guiyuan said coldly: "But brother Cui, don't forget that this matter requires the seal of the Holy Emperor, the approval of the Zhongshu Province, the coordination of the Ministry of Industry, the supervision of the Ministry of Household Affairs and even the Household Section..."

“There are so many processes, even one of them won’t work!”

The sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the weak supervisory capabilities of the Yushitai, it could only hear about the reports and could not go deep into various ministries to conduct supervision.

In order to supervise the six departments of the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang established six departments for Shizhong.

Officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs are naturally supervised by the Household Section.

In fact, the Department of Treasure Note Collection should have been delegated to the Household Department. However, this department had just been established. For convenience and attention, Zhu Yuanzhang placed it under the Zhongshu Department.

However, for corresponding work, especially when printing and issuing treasure banknotes, officials from the Ministry of Revenue should also be present, and the household department should be responsible for supervision, and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry should cooperate with the printing of banknotes.

After all, five million strings.

The maximum denomination of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes is only one tael of silver, and five million banknotes need to be printed, which is not a small amount.

Su Guiyuan has been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for so many years and is still very clear about these basic processes.

Cui Jin was obviously surprised, what happened to Su Guiyuan today.

But he had already prepared his words, and then he said: "Brother Su, Brother Su, aren't you making things difficult for me? You don't know what just happened in this household."

"During these days, the country's focus is on the empty seal case."

"Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are busy day and night, so our errand of raising treasures has naturally been postponed."

"But the Prime Minister has not forgotten it, so he asked us to start first. The approval document from the Ministry of Education has already been uploaded. Maybe it will be stamped and issued tomorrow or the day after."

"The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have also prepared it a long time ago. This is the personnel account book. They will not be allowed to come in and out at will for the next month. The ratio of the Ministry of Household has already been in place. All I need is Brother Su, your big seal. Come on, our treasure banknote application process will begin."

Cui Jin spoke sincerely, and he answered every question Su Guiyuan asked flawlessly.

Even Su Guiyuan himself was a little shaken.

however.

He continued to think about his son's warning yesterday.

In this case of empty printing, his seemingly "nonsense" behavior and the memorial he wrote to the emperor almost scared him half to death.

As a result, so many people have died in the Kongyin case, and the only one who can really get out of it is himself. Xian'er's expression was so solemn yesterday...

That's the bottom line!

He has experienced the dangers in officialdom vividly during this period. If he is not careful, he will harm others and himself.

No matter how good Cui Jin's reasons are, if you take a step back today, you will be in danger!
  "No! I have to see the approval letter from the Ministry of Education, and the Holy Seal must be indispensable."

"My brother Su..."

Upon hearing this, Cui Jin stood up immediately.

What happened to Su Guiyuan today?
  But it doesn't matter, this person is well-behaved to begin with, and it's normal to be cautious after the empty seal case.

If he tells the truth a little more and presses a little harder, I won't believe that he won't agree.

"I said Brother Su, you don't know that there are hundreds of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, and they need to eat. Hundreds of people plus the handymen, that's nearly a thousand mouths. They don't want money? Now people Everything is in place, all that’s left is you to stamp it!”

"There are so many people waiting for you, why are you still hesitating?"

"I know Brother Su that you are being cautious, but you have to know that the imperial court has become increasingly nervous about money and food in recent years. Many officials have defaulted on their salary this year, and the money for the officers and soldiers in various local guards has not been paid. Let's just point to this batch of Treasure money." Cui Jin waved his arms, his expression seemed to be distorted.

"Brother Su, what are you afraid of?"

"The imperial court's money, you can hear the sound every time a coin falls on the ground. Could it be that you, Brother Su, are still afraid that so many people have tricked you?"

However, he took pains to say so much.

Su Guiyuan shook his head directly and said only one sentence, "Bring me the approval document stamped with the Holy Seal, and I will stamp it again!"

Cui Jin was completely annoyed, and finally stood up and asked angrily.

"Brother Su, if you delay for one day now, if there is a problem with the guard station here, if the Holy One asks, can you bear the responsibility of this treasure bank transfer office?"

With just this sentence, Su Guiyuan was completely stunned.

When Cui Jin saw this, he felt happy and secretly thought that something was going on.

In fact, what he said was not false, these things were all facts. Su Guiyuan used to be in the Ministry of Household Affairs and must have known some rumors.

Something is really going to happen, and our emperor asks, but no matter who of you is wronged or not, just like this time, they will all be cut down.

If you can escape the first time, is it possible that you can escape the second time?

"Brother Su, I've already said it. Maybe the batch of documents will come out tomorrow and be completed... There are so many people watching, and everyone is old and young. You have to be considerate of everyone."

I don’t know when.

Su Guiyuan is in the main hall of Tijusi.

The entire Baobao Lifting Department seemed to have come over, and the crowd was all looking at Su Guiyuan.

In the past, Su Guiyuan had never seen such a battle.

For a moment, a huge pressure directly enveloped his heart.

He glanced around, looking at him one after another.

There was sincerity, hope, disdain, all kinds of emotions gathered together, seeming to overwhelm him.

"Lift, this has happened in previous years. This is normal."

"Yes, so many people are ready. It was originally confirmed by the previous election, but unfortunately the empty seal case came up and everyone was in chaos. Now we really can't delay it any longer."

Voices came one after another.

Su Guiyuan's heart was ups and downs, and his eyes were struggling.

When Cui Jin saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward. Knowing that this was the most critical moment, he was about to add more fire...

But at this time, Su Guiyuan didn't give them a chance to speak.

He slapped the table and stood up.

"I'll take it!"

"What?" Cui Jin seemed to have heard wrongly and looked at Su Guiyuan in shock.

Will you take the initiative to take responsibility?

"I said...I'll take it!"

"As I said before, if you don't see the big seal of the Jade Seal, and if you don't see the approval document from the Ministry of Education, this seal will never be covered!"

"If there is any responsibility, I will bear it!"

"If you insist on sealing..."

There was a "pop" sound!
  Su Guiyuan put the lifting seal directly on the table.

"The seal is here, whoever wants money will cover it!"

"Su Guiyuan!"

Cui Jin's eyelids were twitching wildly. Is this person crazy?
  How dare they? Putting aside the fact that only fools would bear the responsibility for this matter, let’s just say that they are really stupid and cannot openly put others’ seal on them.

This crime can be big or small, the smallest is a death penalty, the largest is the execution of nine tribes!

He emphasized his tone and said in a cold voice, "Did you hear what I just said? This has been decided by the Prime Minister!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "Prime Minister".

however.

next moment.

Su Guiyuan looked at him coldly and waved his sleeves!
  "Then let the Prime Minister come!"

　Let’s just update it together. I’ll just update two chapters at 12 o’clock from now on.
