Even though his forehead was covered with fine sweat, Xu You didn't dare to wipe it with his sleeve.

Xu Hong had reminded him of Xu An's abnormality before, so he immediately put down his work and ran all the way, not daring to slacken and delay.

When I arrived outside the hall, I saw Xu An's eyes.

Xu You really realized the seriousness of the matter. Over the past year, he rarely saw Xu An's eyes like this.

"Yu, pay homage to Taoist lord."

Xu You gritted his teeth, walked into the hall, bowed and bowed first.

Xu An looked down at Xu You who walked into the hall. His anger had calmed down at this time.

Seeing Xu You coming in a hurry, his anger faded a lot. He pointed to the chair on one side and said, but his tone was still a little cold.

Xu You did not dare to speak, and respectfully obeyed Xu An's order and sat on the chair on one side.

Sitting on the chair, Xu You still dared not relax. He could feel Xu An angry, but he didn't know where he angered Xu An.

Xu You sat on the chair and kept recalling what he had done before, and even searched for what happened in the family.

But he recalled everything, but he still didn't think about how he angered Xu An.

When he was a staff member under Wang Fen, he did do things to use his power for personal gain and collected some money.

But after joining Taiping Road, he did not dare to do anything favoritism and abuse of power.

After all, the Eagle and Wolf Guard is not a joke. It is impossible to say that the person who looks ordinary is actually the Seika or the Tiqi among the Eagle and Wolf Guard.

Some powerful families in Shangdang County colluded with local officials to seek benefits.

Later, Wei Lu, who was the Langwei Punishment envoy at the time, personally rushed to Shangdang, and launched a major case, arresting more than 300 people in one case, involving the seven major families of Shangdang County.

The seven major families were eventually sentenced to raid their homes, and all the masterminds and accomplices were hanged. Most of them were sentenced to labor reform, and only a small number of them were moved north to the frontier.

The lessons from the past are vivid in my mind.

It is actually not difficult to choose how to choose a bright future and some benefits.

What's more, he didn't need to embezzle. As the Minister of the Central Secretariat, his salary was already a rare high salary, and he also had a certain amount of tax land.

Those with more land will receive more, those with less land will receive less, and those without land will not accept it. Now, the more land there is, the more land there is, the heavier the tax collection will be.

As an official, you can have a certain amount of tax fields according to your grade.

The land tax is not just not to pay taxes, but to cancel the land tax that requires excessive land tax, but still pay the basic land tax.

Xu You sat on the chair and thought about these things. Xu An naturally had no idea about it, but he asked Xu You to come over to be held accountable.

"The Tao government manages Daoism, the Central Military Office manages the army, and the Central Military Office manages the civil affairs..."

Xu An sat down. His current location was the lobby of Yecheng Government Office. Although it had been improved, the first seat was much higher than the other seats. After sitting down, Xu An could also look down at Xu You.

"If I remember correctly, you have been in charge of the Central Secretariat for almost three years, right?"

Xu You trembled all over and replied quickly.

"yes."

The Zhongshu Mansion was originally under the jurisdiction of Yan Zhong, but Yan Zhong gradually retreated behind the scenes due to his health. He stepped down as the governor of Zhongzhou shortly before the founding of the country and gradually took over the work of the Zhongshu Mansion.

After the founding of the country, he was appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat and was incorporated into the cabinet.

"Three years should be enough to understand domestic affairs."

"Didn't you find any clues after so long?"

Xu An spoke slightly sharply and threw the Ministry of Revenue documents in his hand directly to Xu You's feet.

"The Ministry of Revenue is under the jurisdiction of the Central Secretariat Office. Although the military logistics is under the jurisdiction of the Central Secretariat Office, they all have to follow the procedures of the Ministry of Revenue. After the coordination of the Ministry of Revenue, I have indeed given the right to make decisions on the spot, but the grain, grass, and money transferred must be reported to the Ministry of Revenue."

"The war between the four sides consumes a huge amount of money, and the operation costs are 10,000 yuan. The national treasury has been in short supply for a long time. Liangzhou, Yizhou, Zhongzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou are Changping warehouses, and some of the disaster preparedness warehouses have been used."

"The Ministry of Revenue has records of these things, and you have your approval documents sent to my desk. Can't you tell me that something is wrong here?"

There are a lot of ice cubes in the hall, which makes the temperature in the hall much lower than outside, but the sweat beads on Xu You's forehead are still constantly secreting.

Xu You raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat beads oozing from his forehead, and picked up the document at his feet that had been thrown to the ground by Xu An.

As Xu An said, he has reviewed all the records, and he has checked the military expenses in the northern and western regions one by one.

These military expenditures are normal and there is no problem, so he approved...

wrong……

Xu You was shocked all over, and in a moment, a lot of cold sweat slowly oozed out from his back.

"Daojun..."

Xu You is so smart that the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Xu An only mentioned it and he figured out most of the joints.

These military expenditures are indeed normal and there are no problems.

Lu Bu, Guo Tai, Jia Xu, Zhang Yan and others all act according to the procedures, without crossing the situation, withdrawing money and grain, and using power all act according to the rules.

But he, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, forgot one thing, that is, to coordinate the expenses of all parties and pay attention to expenditure income.

Now, all matters related to people's livelihood and political affairs in Ming Dynasty are related to him.

Since he was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he had the responsibility to inform the domestic generals of the country's food and grass reserves and military expenditures, so that they could consider the issue of food and grass logistics when making judgments, rather than agreeing to all requirements.

If there is a priority, you should choose the most important thing and then do it later.

Now that the Han court has not been destroyed, it will definitely cost huge sums of money during the southern expedition.

Nowadays, the troops from all directions are constantly fighting, and they have spent a lot of money and grain to expand their territory.

As the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he did not report this information to Xu An in time. This should have been something he needed to remind Xu An, but now he asked Xu An to remind him.

Xu You stood there, holding the document, and he felt that the document in his hand weighed more than a thousand pounds.

Fu Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, actually mentioned this matter to him, but he was dealing with other matters at the time and did not care too much about it.

When he first saw the world map, he heard the saying "There are all countries in the world, but only I can be my Chinese for one day!" He lost his mind.

The position of Zhongshufu Order is actually the same as the three dukes in the Han court, and even the actual power is higher than that, and the status is more stable. At least in the Ming Dynasty, the three dukes will not need to resign and take responsibility because of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

The desert is located in the north, the capital is set up in the west, the sea is east, and the barbarians are threatened in the south.

Seeing the territory of the Ming Dynasty expanding, Xu You only felt honored.

As the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he completed great achievements that had not even been accomplished by his ancestors in the country under his rule.

Xu You's inner desires became increasingly inflated.

He still remembers a poem that Xu An once read.

The man in the red chicken heard the dawn, and the green clouds fur just entered the trousers.

The palace is opened in the Nine Heavens, and the clothes and crowns of all nations are worshipped.

The sun is just like the sun, and the immortal palm moves, and the cigarette is about to float by the dragon.

The court must be cut off the five-color edict and the voice of the pendant returned to the head of the Fengchi Lake.

That was the first time Xu You heard Xu An write poems, which was completely different from all the poems and songs he heard.

He wanted to see with his own eyes the grand scene of "The palace opened by the Nine Heavens, and the clothes and crowns of all nations are worshipped by the crowns".

Therefore, he chose to support the wars in the Western Regions, the North or the Southern Xinjiang.

"The warehouse is often used to adjust grain prices, and the disaster preparation warehouse is used to store grain and prepare for shortages to supply food for officials and people. Now the grain in these two warehouses has begun to be consumed. Once a famine occurs, chaos in the mainland will occur, what should the frontiers do?"

Xu An stood up again.

It was not that Xu You had no arrangements, but he also saw Xu You's arrangements.

However, the basis of all this is to establish a disaster-free and harmless situation. Once a large-scale disaster occurs again, there will be no sufficient food for relief.

Jizhou is indeed sufficient food. If something happens in Bingzhou, you can transfer grain from Jizhou, but what about the prefectures and counties such as Zhongzhou, Yizhou and Liangzhou?

When the food is collected, it is not the same as the distance is long and the distance is difficult to relieve the thirst in the near future. Even the loss along the road is an astronomical figure.

If the war cannot end in a short period of time, we must use the grain of the two warehouses of the permanent settlement and the disaster preparedness warehouse.

"When you were the governor of Zhongzhou, you could handle everything in the state properly, but now you have become the Minister of the Central Secretariat, but you can't even manage a Ministry of Revenue. You don't know what you should report."

"If you want to be the governor of Zhongzhou, you can return to Chang'an now."

When he said it, Xu An actually felt that his words were too heavy.

Xu You has always been considered diligent.

Since surrendering, he has taken two counties and sneaked into Qingzhou, leading millions of people from four prefectures to cross the Yellow River north and run west to Bingzhou, persuaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou to surrender, captured the elite troops of Jizhou, captured the eight cities of Zhongshan and Changshan, and was in charge of the Internal Affairs Department and served as the governor of Zhongzhou.

During the famine in Zhongzhou, Xu You was also running around, dispatching materials, coordinating all parties, and post-disaster reconstruction was in order.

Xu You's ability mother is doubtful, and her only disadvantage is to form cliques.

However, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming in this era. This era pays the most attention to local people. If you do not seek benefits and help from your local people, you will be truly strange and alien, and will be rejected by others.

This is why the factions in Taipingdao are basically divided by region, and the Han Ting is the same.

Why did Jia Xu feel a little incredible about Xu An's warm welcome at the beginning? It was entirely his identity. Because he was a captain under Dong Zhuo's command, many scholars regarded him as a despised man on the frontier and looked down on him at all.
