Jia Zhen's transfer order came down very soon. The emperor transferred him from the General Administration Department to the Household Department, and he was appointed as the doctor of the Huguang Qingli Department, and his official rank was still the fifth rank.However, although the Secretary of General Administration can be said to be the emperor's secretary team, compared with the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is the Ministry of Household Affairs that shows the emperor's importance to Jia Zhen. Even though he is still a fifth-rank official, people still come to congratulate her. endlessly.Jia Zhen was very calm. Although the Holy Majesty's transfer of him to the Ministry of Households was somewhat unexpected, he thought it would be difficult for him to enter such a ministry, but this was not a particularly big surprise.

The eldest princess was very satisfied with the emperor's actions, but she was careful to sail for ten thousand years, so she secretly told the Chu family to ask her daughter to remind Jia Zhen not to be overly happy. The money in the palace basically only goes out but not in. Just when money is short, what the emperor wants is nothing else but someone who can share his worries, so Jia Zhen can think more about it.Jia Zhen understood that what the emperor wanted was a knife, but it was just what he wanted, and he could find an opportunity to tear him apart from the powerful and powerful, and express his loyalty to the Holy Majesty by the way.

The Chu family was a little worried about Jia Zhen. After all, whoever is an official doesn't pay attention to some relatives and old friends. "Ma'am, don't worry. As the saying goes, it's easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow. There are so many people who come to congratulate me, but I will really run into trouble when the time comes. I'm afraid there will be no more than five families who can reach out." Jia Jane can see through and think through, rather than hoping for help from her colleagues, it is better to be a courtier who is most in line with the emperor's thoughts. In this case, the emperor will definitely protect him for his own sake, at least his life will be safe.Of course, this does not mean that I have to be a lonely minister, but even though Xungui is full of relatives and old friends, and has a lot of connections, I can't count on them at all. I am afraid that these people will be wiped out by the new emperor in the future.

Jia Zhen has done a good job in the Department of General Administration, and the work of sorting out the memorials submitted by various places is still quite leisurely.But the household department is different, there are a lot of official documents.Jia Zhen is a doctor of the official department in Huguang.My task on the first day of work is mainly to pay homage to the top of the mountain first. Jia Zhen greeted Shangfeng with a smile and met her colleagues before starting her own work. Paperwork reports, as well as previous documents, occasionally ask yourself the following two main things.

Jia Zhen is a real Jinshi, talented, and a county magistrate. Naturally, no one gave him a warning, but after all, he was not particularly enthusiastic. Jia Zhen didn't take these things to heart. Good colleagues are not in a hurry.Speaking of which, his status is quite special, honorable, relatives of the emperor, Qingliu, he seems to be involved in them all.The two principals below are very enthusiastic, and they told Jia Zhen all the twists and turns in the household department. Jia Zhen understood why they did this. Well, they are more respectable and promising, too.

"I will invite you two to drink some other day." Jia Zhen said with a smile after hearing what the two had said, and then asked the two to go to work.I continued to concentrate on thinking about these paperwork reports and account books.The Huguang Qingli Department is not only in charge of the sales of money and grain in Hubei and Hunan provinces, but also in charge of the Wuchang factory department and the lake tour department, as well as the two cases of expenditure, consumption and envy in each province.It is absolutely impossible to read all the materials from previous years without spending more than half a month, so Jia Zhen only picked up the past five years to read first, and I have to mention that this ancient account book is called He really had a headache. Although the details were clear, it took a lot of effort to verify and compare them carefully.

Xu Wenqing, the left servant of the household department, is a student of Mr. Yan Ming. Because of Mr. Yan Ming, he has had contact with Jia Zhen, but he gets along well with this junior brother, and the two often keep in touch.However, Xu Wenqing was not a person who acted rashly and only acted on his emotions. Whether Jia Boxi could be safe and secure in the household department depended on his own ability, and at most he could offer a little help.Besides, despite the fact that the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs is not very warm to Jia Zhen, he still admires Jia Boxi very much from the bottom of his heart.The Hubu Shangshu's favor towards Jia Zhen is still due to Jia Zhen's own words and deeds. Even Jia Zhen doesn't know that he has no intention of planting willows and willows, so I will not reveal what happened for the time being.

What Xu Wenqing is worried about is another matter. Now there is a flood in the south, and the tax money from all over the place has not been confiscated. The cost of rebuilding the canal and the mausoleum of the Holy Majesty was too high. Enough money to go to disaster relief and make arrangements for aftermath.In the past few days, he and the right servant of the household department got angry with anxiety, and their mouths were blistered.It was the right servant who thought about one thing. This group of nobles owed the treasury money a lot, and they hadn't paid it back after so many years. Jiangnan tax bank and other tax banks are turned over to the national treasury, and things will be much easier then.

It's a good idea, but it's not easy to do.The emperor loved his reputation, and the emperor would not force the nobles to pay if they refused to pay, but in the end it was their household department who got paid.Even though they proposed this idea, if no one can cooperate, let alone the rap and singing of this play, the shed will not be able to be erected.There is a chance now, but it depends on whether people are willing to cooperate. This matter is offending people.You Shilang and Xu Wenqing discussed for a long time before they settled on this matter, it just depends on whether the person is willing or not.

You Shilang felt that he and Jia Zhen were not in the same relationship, so he handed over the matter of persuading Jia Zhen to Xu Wenqing.Jia Zhen also didn't expect that within a few days after entering the household department, her senior brother gave him a unique meeting gift, and asked him to pay back all the money owed by their family. "Don't worry, your family owes the least. In the past, your family would repay a sum of money every year. Lord Shang Shu and You Shilang both saw it and remembered your benefits. If it weren't for the urgent need for money right now, I would not I will come and talk to you." Xu Wenqing patted Jia Zhen on the shoulder, showing a fox-like smile.When Jia Zhen was managing the family, she knew that her family owed the emperor a lot of money. He used to pay back a sum of money every year. Bu Shangshu's favor.Of course, under his suggestion, the Rongguo Mansion also acted in the same way.Counting, he used to pay 1 taels a year before, but now he has made up for the 11 taels shortfall, leaving only a gap of 9 taels that has not been filled. It is indeed not a large amount, even if he is asked to take it all out now. Can.

"Brother is probably not counting on our family's money, but just using me as an introduction, so that they will spit out the money." Jia Zhen couldn't see her senior brother's intentions, it was clearly an idea of ​​attracting others. .Don't think that he doesn't know that the Zhen family owes nearly one million to the treasury, followed by Duke Xiu, Duke Qi, and King Xining, who also have hundreds of thousands of shortfalls.Over the past few years, the historian has also been paying off its own shortfalls one after another.If he pays back the money in the first place, it will really attract attention. Even if the other people don't want to, they will spit out some, and then the evil fire in their hearts will burn on him.

"Junior brother is indeed a smart person." Xu Wenqing smiled lightly and said, "It just depends on whether junior brother is willing to go all out to offend people." In the name of my meritorious deeds, remind our group of nobles to pay back all the money?" Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows, this is a problem that can be solved if he is willing to agree, but if you look at it this way, the Ministry of Households is really caught off guard right now. What's more, the tax money is exploited layer by layer from bottom to top, and it would be great if only five or six out of ten can reach the household department in the end. According to the current situation of government officials, I'm afraid it's only three or four out of ten. , if something happens again, it will be really difficult.Otherwise, Hubu Youshilang and others would not have made such a bad plan, after all, this was a matter of offending Xungui to death.

"It's a matter of course to pay back the debt. It's right to ask me to pay back the money right now. But I can't start this matter. I still hope to live a peaceful life." Jia Zhen weighed it in her heart Suddenly, it happened that he was also looking for a reasonable excuse to alienate the nobles, and this was an excellent opportunity.But don't think about pushing him out so easily to be angry with nobles, he is not willing to be cannon fodder. "Okay, if I'm counting on you, the day lily is cold. It's just asking you to cooperate with Master Shangshu to play a show. Besides, with Mr. Yan watching, how dare I ask you to come out." Xu Wenqing Seeing that Jia Zhen agreed, she was relieved. With Jia Zhen's help, the difficulty of this matter was much less. "In the future, I will point to the senior brother." Jia Zhen said, he will rely on this matter to completely open up Qingliu's circle.Xu Wenqing couldn't understand what Jia Zhen meant, so he nodded.

Because the money was urgently used for disaster relief, within a few days, Minister of the Household Department Yun Shide Yun Shangshu published a memorial, in which all the families who owed money to the Ministry of Household were included.Yun Shangshu is a smart man, he didn't point the finger at these nobles directly, but just expounded the current state treasury tension and the actions of virtuous officials since ancient times.Emperor Wen Yuan didn't take the owed money to heart at first, even if he thought about it occasionally, he didn't care too much, even if he knew that the amount of money added up was so huge, but for the sake of his reputation as a benevolent emperor, he would not force him thing.But since Yun Shide, Minister of the Household Department, brought it up, he can just let it go, not to mention that he also knows about the shortage of money in the Household Department, and the root cause is still on him. If he is willing to act simply, he will naturally do his best. In addition, he has traveled a few times over the years, which naturally consumes a lot of money.

Zhenguo Gong Niu Biao is a person who can't hide his temper. He stood up immediately and cried bitterly to the emperor. The money was really not because they didn't want to return it to the treasury. .It's hard to think that Niu Biao is already in his early sixties, full of energy, and still going to court, but now he is crying so much that he almost dies. Immediately after Niu Biao, several other families followed, including the emperor's natal family.The emperor listened to the cries of these honorable families, and his face became more and more ugly. Don't think he doesn't know, but he has heard that some of these people can spend 200 taels of silver for a family banquet. He ran to himself and cried poorly, but when he was about to say something, he was afraid that what he said would ruin his reputation and cause the people to talk about his harsh treatment of heroes.

Emperor Wen Yuan's face sank like water, he scanned the group of civil and military officials, and finally his eyes fell on Jia Zhen. "Jia Zhen, what do you think?" Emperor Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.When Jia Zhen heard that Emperor Wen Yuan ordered her own life, she hurried out of the queue, collected her clothes, and performed the ceremony of a courtier. After the ceremony, she said: "My lord, I have been taught by my ancestors since I was a child, and the ministers taught by my ancestors are not mere Bazi - loyal to the emperor, patriotism, and serving the court. The minister will keep this in mind, and never forget it for a moment. Eat the king's salary and share the worries for the emperor. The minister will definitely pay back the money owed by the minister's government without delay. In addition, the minister will also Urge Uncle Jia Amnesty to pay off the debt." After hearing this, Emperor Wen Yuan was very satisfied with Jia Zhen's attitude, and he knew that Ningrong and Rongfu have been slowly returning the money owed to the Ministry of Households in private these years.

Comparing with Jia Zhen's attitude, and looking at the pushback attitude of other nobles, this situation really made Emperor Wen Yuan unhappy. Although he did not pursue these debts in the past, after all, the money was his money, and it was in That's right.King Beijing and King Dongping County saw that the emperor's expression was not good, and someone had come forward, so they finally came out, echoing what Jia Zhen said, anyway, they almost didn't pay back a small amount of money, so it doesn't matter .Seeing this posture, Jia Zhen really understood that the Dongping County King and Beijing King in the Dream of Red Mansions are the real smart people. Presumably, these two families will be able to survive in the end. reason.It's just that he doesn't understand why Shui Ronghui, the son of King Beijing Jing, has such a good relationship with Jia Baoyu, it's really a mystery.

Emperor Wen Yuan couldn't help being very disappointed with the nobles, but his natal family was also among them, so what could he say?People say that breaking the bones connects the tendons. At the beginning, he was able to ascend the throne smoothly, but these nobles put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, how could he win among the father's sons?In the end, Emperor Wen Yuan only rewarded the King of Dongping County, King of Beijing, and Jia Zhen, and of course Jia Amnesty who stayed at home, and mentioned the nobles in words before going down to court.

After returning home from get off work, Jia Zhen sent someone to the next door to deliver the letter, and she also packed the money she owed and sent it to the household department in a big way.
