Chapter 65 Obedience
Yuwen Rong heard Pei Min’s embarrassment with such a “righteous” embarrassment, and wanted to die. He couldn’t help but say: “Pei Xiang is the prime minister of a country, he ranks high as the prince, and has the weapon of the state. He is also the Wenzong of the world and the leader of the scholars. He should have a boat in his belly. Pei Xiang likes and dislikes himself. If he makes such a difficult thing, he will not be afraid of making people laugh at him?”
"Don't be afraid!" Pei Min said seriously: "There are only you and me here, and no third person knows it. Who will believe it if you say it?"
In ancient times, there were no high-tech such as sound recorders, so Pei Min was fearless.
Without real evidence, Yu Wenrong wanted to "slander" Pei Min, who was a descendant of the Confucius family, and was completely unrealistic.
Yu Wenrong was alert and figured out this point. He was completely stunned and felt that his future was dim.
Pei Min continued, "Or why, let's give it a try, you say I'm making things difficult for you. I say you're arrogant and arrogant and disobeying control. It depends on who the people in the world believe in? If it really doesn't work, I'll let you talk first and take advantage of you."
Yuwen Rong was stupid and stupid, and couldn't say a word.
"Okay, let's talk about it here!" Pei Min waved his hand, not willing to say more about it, and said, "As the head of the Ministry of Revenue, you are responsible for the land, people, money and grain, and the difference in tribute. I will give you two days to count the economic situation of farmers, handicraftsmen and low-level people in the country. If the result is not satisfactory to me, I don't need to say more about your fate. For your sake, don't let me catch the handle and give me this opportunity to cure you."
He kindly reminded him, waved his hand again, "Go and go, don't hinder my reading!"
He drove Yuwen Rong like he drove away the flies.
Yuwen Rong felt aggrieved, but he couldn't help but bow and said, "I'm going to leave!"
Looking at Yu Wenrong's departure, Pei Min smiled softly and said to himself: "Little girl, can't you control me?"
Ministry of Revenue.
As the agency in charge of household registration finance, the Ministry of Revenue is second only to the Ministry of Personnel among the six ministries.
It is impossible to be able to join the Ministry of Revenue without a certain background and opportunity.
Zhou Yingzi, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Wang Kezhi, are the best examples of background and opportunity.
Zhou Yingzi's grandfather was Zhou Yunyuan. He was the governor of Liang Yi and Heng during the Southern Dynasties. After Zhou Biao, the Marquis of Pengling, he was the son of Zhou Ji. Zhou Yunyuan was a Jinshi when he was young and was appointed as the prime minister during the Wu Zetian period. In order to protect Li Longji's father Li Dan, he almost died. His descendants' official career was always on the road.
Wang Kezhi had no identity or background, and was originally a minor official in Chang'an.
The previous issue of peasant exile was one of the major social problems of the imperial court. The vast majority of peasants were forced by heavy taxes and labor to escape from their hometowns, some became refugees, and some became tenants of landlords, which greatly reduced the household registration across the country, seriously affecting the financial and tax revenue of the Tang court.
Yuwen Rong was in danger and appointed as the tax envoy for renting land and raising the "Edict to Encourage the Farmers".
Yuwen Rong prosecuted the fleeing household registration and occupied land from abroad, and was appointed as a entourage envoy to search for household registration. He also appointed himself as an envoy to persuade farmers. He led more than 20 judges to persuade farmers to go to various places, clearing out 800,000 customers and a large amount of land, which almost perfectly solved this major problem.
Wang Kezhi was one of twenty people. He made the best achievements and became Yuwen Rong's right-hand man.
Yuwen Rong was also trusted and respected by Li Longji because of this matter, and was promoted to the Chief Censor of the Censor, and was promoted to the Minister of Revenue shortly before.
Wang Kezhi also became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue because of the opportunity of Yuwen Rong.
Zhou Yingzi and Wang Kezhi have been waiting for Yuwen Rong's return.
Wang Kezhi looked worried.
Zhou Yingzi said: "Brother Wang doesn't have to worry too much. I haven't seen Pei Xiang before, but who is Pei Xiang? How could I make things difficult for Shangshu because of this little thing?"
Wang Kezhi shook his head and said, "You don't know that Shangshu is very disgusted with military affairs. He often makes various suggestions for Bian Zheng, and is not the same as Pei Xiang. Originally, the two had no relationship, so it doesn't matter. Now... Pei Xiang suddenly became the boss. Are you embarrassed? I am worried now that Pei Xiang doesn't like Shangshu and makes things difficult for him, and Shangshu doesn't like Pei Xiang, who is obscene and defames, ruining national affairs."
Zhou Yingzi said overjoyed: "Not it!"
Wang Kezhi remained silent.
Yuwen Rong was kind to him and could not say bad things. But based on his understanding of his boss, he knew that Yuwen Rong had extraordinary administrative talent, but he was a little unscrupulous in dealing with people and things. Just like when he overthrew Zhang Shuo in the past, he colluded with Wang Hui.
As the two said, Yu Wen Rong walked into the Ministry of Revenue with a blue face.
Zhou Yingzi and Wang Kezhi both saw that their boss was in a very bad mood and did not touch his head and did not step forward.
On the contrary, Yuwen Rong saw them and said loudly: "Gather all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to let them put down everything they have in their hands."
There are the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Revenue and the Four Divisions of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue are nearly a hundred officials of all sizes, gathering in the hall in densely.
"From now on, some rest will be cancelled, and food and accommodation will be included in the Ministry of Revenue. Within two days, the economic and tax copy of the Tang Dynasty will be sorted out for me. If the task cannot be completed, everyone here, including me, will be recorded once in the end of the year."
As soon as Yuwen Rong said this, everyone in the hall was immediately in an uproar.
There was no computer in ancient times, and all copywriting materials needed to be read and counted one by one. The Tang Dynasty was so big, the territory was so wide, and the number of people was so large that it required unified calculations. How could it be calculated?
If you can't calculate it, you have to remember it.
You must know whether these unpopular officials can be promoted depends on their beautiful resume.
Who accepted this for no reason?
"If you have time to complain, it is better to act immediately. This is a major event decided by the Political Affairs Hall and it is also the first time that Pei Xiang took office. Who wants to get angry?" Yu Wenrong's words were a little resentful.
Many officials stopped talking.
Pei Min's name is still very useful.
No one wants to show off this, and they come and go in a hurry.
Yuwen Rong ordered: "You can also help organize the wealthy prefectures and counties together and choose the lower-middle-level ones. This time we are not counting those who live a wealthy life, but the poor families of the masses. In particular, farmers, industry and commerce, we will make separate plans. Zhou Shilang calculates farmers, but you calculate the work and commerce. I will count them myself."
Zhou Yingzi and Wang Kezhi each received their orders.
The two of them went down together.
Zhou Yingzi smiled and said, "Everyone said that the Minister of the Secretariat is too worried. Look, how motivated the Secretary of the State? He did it himself, which is not common."
Wang Kezhi also looked surprised.
Although he didn't know the reason, he understood that there was only one possibility in the current situation.
