Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 235 Internal Officials Office Established

As a result, Gao Shida became the most popular person in the court. It didn't take long for Gao Shida to discover that he knew neither the craft nor the technology regarding the production of fine salt and monosodium glutamate. It has been killing chickens to get the best, even the funds that COFCO used to purchase raw materials were not spared, and COFCO soon ran into a financial deficit.

With the loss of COFCO's financial revenue, the internal treasury has also become stretched, and all this is a matter of course. People from the household department asked Gao Shida for advice, but Gao Shida couldn't explain why. There was no other way, so he had to let it go. Throwing away the burden, these two burdens were thrown back to the Ministry of household affairs.

But these two factories have more than ten thousand people, that is, more than ten thousand mouths, people eat horses, and need to spend money everywhere, but this Gao Shida, let him spend money, he is an expert, and it is impossible to make money. Moreover, all the money he earned was from blackmailing those officials, which could not support the source of wealth for these huge East and West factories.

As a result, Gao Shida quickly fixed his eyes on the taxation power of the Ministry of Households. This taxation is the main source of income of a country. Expenses, I can also make a lot of money!
Thinking of this, Gao Shida made up his mind to pay taxes. This time, he must find a way to hold the right to pay taxes tightly in his hands!

Not long after, at the suggestion of Gao Shida, a new internal bureau was established.

The new official office is called the Twelve Supervisors, and it is responsible for the management of eunuchs and palace affairs within the imperial court.Among the twelve prisons, there are the Rites Supervisor, Inner Palace Supervisor, Imperial Supervisor, Taxation Supervisor, Imperial Horse Supervisor, Jingong Supervisor, Shangshan Supervisor, Shangbao Supervisor, Yinshou Supervisor, Zhidian Supervisor, Shangyi Supervisor, and Duzhi Supervisor. Waiting for twelve prisons, each with a palm seal eunuch in charge.

Among them, the Supervisor of Rituals has the greatest power, and the Supervisor of Taxation has the fastest money, because the Supervisor of Rituals is said to be the leader of the other eleven supervisors, and the eunuch of the Supervisor of Rituals is in charge of everything in the palace and the inner court, so he is the prime minister of the inner court. Also known as the inner phase.

As for the other [-] eunuchs, each of them performed their own responsibilities, and the eunuch with palm seal was naturally a position that everyone contended for. They also arrange for people they can trust. Of course, trust is one aspect, and the other must have contribution money to clear the way.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, the notice became the most powerful person in the palace besides the Holy One, and he was also in charge of the two great weapons of death in the East and West factories. Gao Shida seemed to be under one person both inside and outside the court. , more than ten thousand people.

Not long after the establishment of the Twelve Supervisors, Gao Shida once again proposed to send eunuchs to the prefectures, counties, and the army to supervise the officials and the army. He made a lot of money again, and on the one hand, he consolidated the eunuch's rule over the whole country. On the other hand, it is inevitable that these eunuchs will come back to honor themselves during the festival every year. This is another big income!
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and the day of the Turkic expedition is getting closer, Li Chengdao always has Jin Yiwei Qinglong and others come to report on everything that happened outside, but Li Chengdao did not show enough interest in these things. It happened and there was no show of undue concern.

In a blink of an eye, the entire Tang Dynasty had allowed Gao Shida to mess around for too long. At first, Li Yuan heard some memorials from the imperial censor about the East and West factories and Gao Shida. Li Yuan didn't take it too seriously. He didn't care about serving this by his side. Li Yuan still trusts his old man of decades.

But slowly, Li Yuan gradually felt that something was wrong. Gao Shida spent less and less time serving him in the palace. Every time he smelled it, his subordinates replied that he was either in the East Factory or the West Factory. According to the Ministry of Household Affairs, COFCO and Neiku After handing it over and co-managing it with the east and west factories, COFCO and Neiku suffered huge losses.

Then the Twelve Supervisors, especially the Tax Supervisor, were established according to Gao Shida’s opinion. According to the big cake Gao Shida drew for Li Yuan at the beginning, after the establishment of the Twelve Supervisors, the palace should be more stable. After the establishment of the Tax Supervisor, the treasury should will be more abundant.

But the iron-like facts are before us, that is, the inner court is even more corrupt, and the treasury tax is not as good as before.

What angered Li Yuan the most was that just today, Li Yuan saw a few young eunuchs in a panic, so he went up to inquire and found a few but priceless gold, silver and jewels on the two young eunuchs. .

Li Yuan was furious and ordered the guards of Xiaoqi Camp to torture him severely. After questioning, he found out that these things were actually stolen from the late imperial concubine's room by two young eunuchs!

Angrily, Li Yuan ordered the two young eunuchs to be executed with sticks, and then sent someone to call Gao Shida back to the palace.

Gao Shida hurried back to the palace and saw Li Yuan, who was furious with Long Yan. On the way back, his subordinates had already told him the whole story.

Along the way, Gao Shida had already thought of countermeasures. When he saw Li Yuan blowing his beard and staring, Gao Shida knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "This old slave is guilty, this old slave is guilty! This old slave deserves death!" , Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

As he spoke, Gao Shida kowtowed and slapped himself on the mouth. Li Yuan was angry at first, but later he heard the sound of Gao Shida slapping his mouth very hard. At the beginning, he couldn't bear it. After a long time, he said: "Okay, you What's the use of beating yourself to death? What are your twelve eunuchs doing? All the little eunuchs in the palace are guarding themselves and stealing, if this goes on, sooner or later, all of my palace will be stolen!"

"The old slave is guilty!" Gao Shida said with a vague voice, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old slave will send an order to his subordinates to investigate carefully. If there are similar cases, they will definitely be severely punished!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan lost his temper, and then asked: "Gao Shida, the two factories have been established for a long time, but now they don't make any contribution. There are so many people up and down. If it doesn't work, let's get rid of it, otherwise it will end in the future." If you don't get rid of it, it will cause future troubles!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Gao Shida said, but he cried even harder. He knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, these two factories were built with great care by slaves, and they care as much as their children. And the slaves see your majesty like this , If Your Majesty does not have one or two advantageous forces in your hands, from now on... I am worried..."

Speaking of this, Gao Shida couldn't help crying. In fact, what Gao Shida was worried about was not the emperor in front of him, but himself. Wenwen Wu has been offended by him many times, and now he is still the factory supervisor of the East Factory after all. Although these people resent themselves, they dare not take any action. If you throw the mouse again, I'm afraid that your own death will come.

Looking at Gao Shida who was in tears, Li Yuan couldn't bear it and finally did not mention the matter again.
