Chapter 179

Luo Tiandu's gymnasium has not yet been selected, but a small incident happened at home, and Luo Baisu was promoted.

As for the reason for this promotion, it really makes people feel ashamed.

Since he ascended the throne today, he has gone through the chaos of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and personally conquered Beirong. Although he did not win the world on horseback, he secured the world on horseback, so he values ​​military power more than the previous emperor.Although Bei Rong was beaten to the ground in the early years, after more than ten years of recuperation, there is a faint trend of rising again.Today, he is worried about Beirong's wolfish ambitions and provoked the war again, so he intends to restart the martial arts and reorganize the armaments, which seems to be actively preparing for war.

However, no matter whether it is to conduct martial arts or to prepare military equipment, it costs money. Now the two departments of household officials in the court are controlled by centuries-old families. The youngest son made a fool of himself with that joke, and there was a lot of resentment in his heart, and he was worried that he had nowhere to vent it. Seizing this opportunity, he naturally made things difficult for him in every possible way.Today, when the martial arts competition was held to ask for money, Lu Shangshu was the first to second with a smile on his face. When it came time to ask for money, he reasoned that the Ministry of Households had no money and couldn't get any money.

Lu Shangshu's reasons are also ready-made. Since the Jinyuan Rebellion, it has not stopped for more than ten years. There have been wars and disasters. Compared with 20 years ago, the taxes and taxes in these years have been reduced by more than [-]%. The expenditure is more and more year after year.

The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials have always been the two yamen that caused the emperor the most headaches. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion of officials, and the Ministry of Households is in charge of financial expenditures, especially this Lu Shangshu, who has been in charge of the money box of the Daqing Dynasty since the first emperor. He knew Daqing's account books very well, and because of this, even though Emperor Tianqi had been on the throne for decades, he had been thinking of finding someone to replace him, but he had never found a suitable candidate.

Lu Shangshu is an old fritter from the household department. No matter what he said today, he just kept crying about being poor and refused to take money out of the treasury. I am willing to hand over the account books and hand them over to other capable people in the court.

In the past, when Lu Shangshu cried like this, he would probably soften his heart now. Although he hated it, he could only comfort him with nice words.After all, the pile of old bad debts in the household department cannot be sorted out by sending someone casually. Not to mention that Lu Shangshu has been in the household department for many years and has a wide network of contacts. On the contrary, I made myself feel fishy.

But this time, I don't know whether it's because he is determined to start martial arts today, or because he hates Lu Shangshu's tears and refuses to give in. When Lu Shangshu repeats the same old tune, saying that he will hand over the account books of the household department, he will When he ignored the director, Jinshang accepted it logically, and appointed Prince Rui, his uncle of the emperor, as Duzhi envoy to check the accounts of the Ministry of Finance over the years.

Prince Narui is almost seventy years old this year. He looks dignified, but he doesn't care about things at all. He usually only spends his time in the mansion to entertain his grandchildren, but he was suddenly carried out by his nephew, the current emperor, with a look of displeasure on his face. depressed.He is an old man, to put it bluntly, half of his body is already buried in the soil, why would his imperial nephew carry him out to offend others.

He is a man who doesn't care about things, and he still has to do the errands he ordered today, not only to do it, but also to do it beautifully, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of his imperial nephew.Everyone knows that Prince Rui was sent out today, just as a mascot to suppress the situation, and the real person in charge is estimated to have to be assigned another person. The factions in the DPRK and China are intricate. It is best to find those officials who have nothing to do with the household department and have no deep ties to the court to avoid suspicion. Anyone who takes such a hard job of offending people can only ask for trouble, and everyone pushes back and forth. In the end, it fell on Luo Baisu's head. Unlucky with Luo Baisu, and the upright and upright Shaoqing Ming of Dali Temple, I think he offended too many people on weekdays, so he was pushed as cannon fodder at this time Come out, in comparison, Master Ming seems to be more unlucky, he is the deputy envoy of Du Zhisi, and Luo Baisu is just a small judge.

After hearing this, Luo Tian couldn't help feeling a headache.This Duzhi Division looks beautiful and has great power, but it is actually an offending job. Besides, it seems that the Duzhi Division is temporarily set up today. It is estimated that it will be revoked once the account books of the Ministry of Accounts are checked. At that time, Luo Baisu offended the Ministry of Households, so what future would he have? It would be lucky not to be trampled to death.From her point of view, Luo Baisu stuck in this seat is actually no different from being carried over a fire.

At this time, she was quite dissatisfied with the emperor who sat high in the golden hall. If you want to move the household department, you can do it directly. It is not easy for an emperor to move a courtier. You have to choose such a roundabout way. The way to push Luo Baisu, a little man with no background and no money, to offend others.

Besides, it is necessary to check the accounts of the household department. It is up to a few of them to settle those old accounts, and they can't even find helpers and foreign aid.The person who knows how to settle accounts in this world has long been recruited to the Ministry of Accounts. If you ask someone from the Ministry of Accounts to check the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, even a fool would not do such a stupid thing. Setting a deadline makes people even more anxious.

Prince Rui was worried, and Lord Ming, who was always stern and selfless, was also worried, and Luo Baisu, who was implicated innocently to fill in the number of people, was even more worried.

Luo Tian watched Luo Baisu go out early and return late all day, worried, his mouth was blistered with anxiety, and he couldn't bear it, and finally one day, he couldn't help asking: "Father, since the accounts are going to be checked today , Father will send someone to check the account books and forget it, offend people, at worst we will not be this official, go back to the village to eat a bowl of free rice."

Luo Baisu sighed, disregarding the ancient rule that female family members are not allowed to meddle in court affairs, and said: "It's not that easy, but today we are going to make us fight against the shopkeeper who has the best calculations in the world, check their accounts, Difficult."

How difficult is it? In the end, even Master Ming and Luo Baisu had to fight in person, acting as accountants with their abacus.

Luo Baisu only came home late at first, and then he seldom went back home, occasionally coming back to stay for one night, and bringing the account book with him, and he didn't stop until dawn.

One day, Luo Baisu returned home after taking a bath, and by the faint candlelight, he was making plans there.It’s just that he is a serious scholar after all, he can talk endlessly about reading poems, books, strategies and theories, and talking about the way of governing the country. Fell asleep.Fang couldn't bear to see it, so she just added a piece of clothes to put on him, and didn't wake him up. Luo Tian watched for just a month, and Luo Baisu lost weight rapidly, his eye sockets were sunken, and his cheeks were sunken. In the end, I couldn't bear it, so I took a look at the densely packed books, pursed my lips and thought about it, and finally made up my mind, gently pulled out the ledger, took it to my room, lit the oil lamp, Look carefully.

In her previous life, she was a certified public accountant, and she was a professional accountant. What Luo Baisu brought back today were just a few journals from the household department. There was nothing difficult, but the memory was messy.

It didn't take much effort to check the accounts, but it was her bad handwriting that took the effort. She couldn't hold a writing brush, so she was still accustomed to using a quill pen. In the end, I wrote it on paper and put it in the old account book, and then took it back to Luo Baisu's room, and just turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Luo Baisu was worried that he could not sleep well, and when he woke up after a while, seeing the neatly arranged account books on the table, he still couldn't recover.

Fang Shi was woken up by him, yawned, and said: "Little Du saw that you were fast asleep, so she didn't call you. She took it and calculated it for you. You can check if there is any mistake."

Luo Baisu looked at the pitch-dark east room, took a basin of cold water, washed his face, then ground the ink and spread the paper, and re-transcribed the paper written by Luo Tiandu. Seeing that the night was still dark outside, he tidied up his Turned over, then went to bed lightly, and finally closed her eyes with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Luo Baisu went to the yamen by himself, Luo Tian had already had breakfast, cleaned up, and went out with Xiang Lan.Originally, after returning, Fang wanted to ask the woman in front of him to come and teach Luo Tiandu how to behave, but Luo Tian desperately opposed it. I don't know if it was because Luo Mingdu's marriage went well, Fang's heart was relieved, or some other reason. Fang Shi was persuaded by her a few words, and finally agreed, and resigned from the female teacher, Luo Tiandu was liberated from the pile of female discipline rules.

She and Xiang Lan went to the street, and Ben had nothing to do, just wandering aimlessly in the street.

At this time, it was not yet spring, and it was quite cold. Xiang Lan accompanied her for a few streets, and seeing that she neither entered the shop nor bought anything, she couldn't help being surprised, and asked: "It's rare for a young lady to go to the street. How can I go back without buying something I like?"

"Where to go shopping, you have to go slowly, and it's fun to look slowly, you don't understand." She was concerned about building a gym, and was looking around at the street layout of the inner city to see if she could choose a suitable one. Although she asked the dentist to help keep an eye on the location, she was unwilling to be idle, and liked to come out and look around when she had nothing to do.

After shopping around for a few days, I found that there is really no suitable place in the inner city. There are many officials and family members in the inner city. The East Street is full of mansions of dignitaries. Sheds were also set up in the aisle, and small groceries were sold. The land utilization rate is not worse than that of later generations. It seems that in the future, we can only find places in the outer city.

She and Xiang Lan blew the cold wind on the street for a long time, Xiang Lan was fine, but in the end she couldn't stand the cold, she shrugged her shoulders and went back sullenly, only to arrive at the entrance of the alley, and saw Zi Shu hurriedly He ran, wiped his eyes while running, looked at her far away and shouted: "Little lady, it's not good, the uncle is being boarded in the yamen."
