Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"Well, this is the account book of the Ministry of Accounts."

Chu Zhuang told him what he was doing in the Ministry of Household Affairs and what he had discovered.

"You mean, the Ministry of Households made false accounts?" Yun Mengxi asked after thinking about it, looking at Chu Zhuang.

"It's not that the Ministry of Accounts made false accounts, it's that their accounts have a huge deficit." Chu Zhuang corrected.

"It's a loss, how much is it?"

Yunmengxi was not very surprised by this. The Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of money, food and land, and everyone said that the officials here were fat jobs.

If there is nothing tricky in it, he should be surprised.

Even Yunmengxi felt the same way, let alone other people, so if Chu Zhuang found out that there were not many deficits, it would not be of much use, and the people in the household department could completely fool them with mistakes.

"Today, what they are checking are all small accounts. Just the salaries of the officials in December last year were short-lived, with a total of 20 gold coins."

Chu Zhuang was a little bit disappointed by this. For the firewood on the market, you can buy two or three copper coins for a bundle at most, and no more than five copper coins at most. ten times!

Adding up all the big and small ones, 20 gold coins just disappeared.

This is only one month's salary, so much cheating, how much cheating for a whole year.

As a country, the annual tax revenue is only a few million gold coins, which is not enough for people like the Ministry of Households to cheat, so there is no money left to spend on the people.

"20 gold coins a month?" Yun Mengxi covered her mouth, these people are too bold.

"There is definitely a big problem with the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts. Yuan Bin and I have discussed it. I will come here to check the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts this month, and then I will bring this matter to the emperor." Chu Zhuang told him his decision. Went to Yunmengxi.

Yunmengxi naturally supported Chu Zhuang's decision, but he was also worried about Chu Zhuang's safety.

"You check their accounts in the household department. If they find out, then..."

This Chu Zhuang is checking the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts in the Ministry of Accounts. This is too bold. If it is discovered, then Chu Zhuang will definitely not want to go out of the gate of the Ministry of Accounts!

Chu Zhuang chuckled lightly when he heard this, and comforted him: "Don't worry, they asked us to check this account book, and we use this special digital record, they can't understand it!"

Even if the ledger is discovered, as long as Chu Zhuang and Zhang Yuanbin don't explain it, the people in the household department won't understand it at all.

"That's good."

Hearing Chu Zhuang's words, Yunmengxi was slightly relieved.

"By the way, in addition to calling the eldest brother and the second brother back tomorrow, let Xiaolan and the others inquire about the market prices of these items."

Chu Zhuang took out a list and handed it to Yunmengxi. As for the market price, Chu Zhuang didn't know much about it, he only had a general impression, so he also needed to do a detailed investigation to make it easier for him to make an account.

"Okay, I know!"

Yunmengxi put away the note and nodded earnestly. He would always keep in mind what Chu Zhuang told him to do seriously.

"It's still early, I will calculate these accounts again in the computer."

Chu Zhuang checked the time, and before going to bed, he took Yunmengxi into the space.

On the second day, Chu Zhuang went to the household department, Yunmengxi arranged for Xiaolan and the others to inquire about prices, and then went to Yunfu to find Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong.

"You said that Chu Zhuang found out the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts that were in deficit?"

Yunhong and Yun Zhanfei were shocked when they heard Yunmengxi's words.

They originally thought that when Chu Zhuang entered the household department, he would be troubled by others, but now the situation was reversed. It was not the people from the household department who made trouble for Chu Zhuang, but Chu Zhuang who caused trouble for the household department.

"Well, Chu Zhuang lost at least 20 gold coins yesterday. According to Chu Zhuang, this is still a very small part!" Yun Mengxi nodded and said.

"Then Chuzhuang means..." Yunhong asked with a thoughtful expression.

Yunmengxi shook his head and said: "Chu Zhuang wants to expose this matter, but I don't know the specifics. Let's talk about it when he comes back tonight."

If Yunmengxi wanted to ask about these things, Chu Zhuang would naturally say them.

It's just that Yunmengxi considered that Chu Zhuang would be busy at night and worried that he would be too tired, so he thoughtfully didn't ask. Anyway, seeing Yun Zhanfei and Yun Hong today, Chu Zhuang would also talk about it, so there is no need to waste Chu Zhuang's energy.

"Well, let's wait for him at school in the afternoon!"

Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong looked at each other, and nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhuang knew that Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong were waiting for him, so he didn't procrastinate, and went back straight away.

Several people sat in Chu Zhuang's office to discuss.

"Chu Zhuang, what are you going to do?" Yunhong asked.

"This month, Yuan Bin and I will calculate all these accounts, and then we will have a showdown with the emperor!" Chu Zhuang expressed his decision.

Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong were prepared for this, and they were not surprised when they heard the words, and according to Chu Zhuang's character, he would hide it, so they would be surprised!

"The Ministry of Household Affairs should have completely corrupted the country's finances."

Chu Zhuang sighed slightly. In the past, he always accused Yu Wenchang of being greedy for money, but after entering the household department to understand the truth, Chu Zhuang realized that it was really difficult for Yu Wenchang to be an emperor.

It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the Ministry of Households set up a clever scheme to lose all the money in the treasury. Yu Wenchang has no money, how can he govern the country?How to control officials?How to train an army?

If these moths in the household department are not cleaned up, the country will rot directly from the root, and it will be impossible to save it!

"hateful!"

Yun Zhanfei was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

"But Chu Zhuang, if you make this ledger public, others won't be able to understand the numbers on it. I'm afraid it won't be convincing!"

Yunhong looked at the account books brought back by Chuzhuang, his eyes were full of worry.

These ledgers used the Arabic numerals taught by Chu Zhuang, and apart from Chu Zhuang and the people around them, few people could understand them.

If this account book is taken out, how can it convince the public!

"It's not difficult. Before I bring up this matter, I will discuss it with the emperor in advance. I will first find a group of small officials to come to the school to learn these new numbers and arithmetic methods, and then go to the hall to make this matter public. The accounting department was caught off guard!"

Chu Zhuang knew about this matter, they alone would not make any big noise, the key is to get Yu Wenchang to support them.

Regarding other matters, Chu Zhuang was not sure whether Yu Wenchang would help them, but in this matter, Yu Wenchang would definitely stand by their side.

Once the account of the Ministry of Accounting is found out, no matter whether it is the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting or the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, from top to bottom, none of them will try to escape.

Yu Wenchang's punishment of these people can not only add a sum of money to the national treasury, but also control the Ministry of Households in his hands, further weakening the power of the Sima family.

This is a win-win situation for Yuwenchang and Chuzhuang.

"Well, let's do as you say!"

Seeing that Chu Zhuang has a complete plan, Yunhong and the others nodded in agreement.

"Now the Sima family has lost the control of the official department. If the household department is also lost, the foundation of the Sima family will be shaken!"

Several people looked at each other, and their eyes were full of excitement.

The Sima family is not good, of course they like it.

"The evidence of Sima Jincheng's crimes should be released after the household affairs. The Sima family should be unable to deal with it by then." Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows.

"Well, it's time to deal a fatal blow to the Sima family!"

Looking at Chu Zhuang, Yunhong couldn't help being a little excited.

Originally Chu Zhuang told him that he was going to help him plan that position, but he was still a little uncertain in his heart.

But now that the Sima family is about to fall, once the eldest prince loses this most powerful backing, he will have no competitiveness.

As for the crown prince Yu Wenjing, based on the relationship between the empress and Jing Heng, and the secret road leading to the palace, let alone inheriting the grand line, once the matter is exposed, it is still unknown whether Yu Wenchang will save his life. !

There are only three princes in total, and these two people have no chance.

Isn't that the only one?

Yunhong took a deep breath, he had never felt so close to that position!

For the throne, Yunhong is naturally longing for it. In his opinion, this is what belongs to him in the first place. Whether it is taken away by the eldest prince or the crown prince, he will certainly not be reconciled.

Yunhong glanced at Chu Zhuang, feeling excited. He believed that with Chu Zhuang's assistance, he would be able to restore the world to a peaceful and prosperous world!

"Second brother!"

Seeing Yunhong's excited appearance, Chu Zhuang knew what he was imagining, so he patted him on the shoulder to calm him down.

"Second brother, you are about to restore your identity soon, and there will definitely be people against you in the court at that time, so you have to be careful."

Chu Zhuang needs to bury his head in the account book during this time, and he may not be able to take Yunhong into account too much, so he has to be more careful.

Otherwise, if they are assassinated at this time, all their preparations will be in vain.

The more you see the hope of success, the more vigilant you must be.

When Yunhong heard Chu Zhuang's words, his mind immediately sobered up. He suppressed the thoughts in his heart and nodded solemnly.

"The Sima family has been hit hard now, and they definitely don't want to see you and the crown prince take this opportunity to rise up. It should provoke the relationship between you."

Chu Zhuang thought about it and reminded him.

The crown prince Yu Wenjing is not worth mentioning at all. At this time, no matter what the eldest prince's party chooses, don't confront Yu Wenjing.

The most important thing right now is to concentrate on defeating the Sima family, not to add another opponent now.

Otherwise, the situation may be unfavorable to them.

"Don't worry, I know." Yunhong nodded in response.

Yu Wenjing has such a big handle in their hands, and there is no threat at all, so he will not foolishly oppose Yu Wenjing.

Several people discussed the details before Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong left.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Chu Zhuang looked at Yunmengxi's worried expression, touched his cheek and comforted him.

"En!" Yun Mengxi leaned on Chu Zhuang's shoulder, calmed down a little, and nodded slightly.
