Chapter 354 Dress up the household

During this period, all taxes were sent to Beijing Central, which caused the entire Ministry of Revenue officials to be in unprecedented busyness.

The extremely fulfilling life made them unable to think at all, and they could not guess the "trick" secretly carried out by His Highness the King of Qin and Secretary Wang Gui.

Finally, everything was done, and they all went back to their homes and ushered in a one-day holiday.

Wang Gui brought the clone into the palace to meet the saint, while Li Fangchen led the people in the Qin Palace to start busy at the Ministry of Revenue.

Others don’t know what will happen to the Ministry of Revenue.

At the end of the year, Li Fangchen’s idea is very simple, celebrate the New Year happily.

First of all, as the Ministry of Revenue of his current work unit, he must dress up well.

What are red paper, red lanterns, and red carpets, all available.

There are also some fruits and desserts sent from the Qin Palace, as well as big red envelopes prepared in advance.

The door was a little empty, and Li Fangchen went to invite Yan Shigu to write the inscription.

"Your Highness, I don't know, and I don't dare!"

"I just asked you to write a couplet. You are a great scholar, why can't you even write a couplet?"

Yan Shigu wiped his forehead and sweated coldly. This is the Ministry of Revenue. Your Highness, don’t you consider letting Your Majesty write?

"Look at whatever you want, just write it!"

"Okay...what did that minister write?"

"Stupid, I'll teach you this?"

“…”

Yan Shigu really wanted to finish his pen and ran away. No matter how he said that, he was a great scholar, but he was scolded for being stupid. Where can I reason about this?

"The first couplet: The sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is great; the second couplet: The wall stands thousands of feet high; no desires are strong. A horizontal banner, warning colleagues!"

After hearing this, Yan Shigu couldn't help but praise him: "I am worthy of being Your Highness."

Since His Highness has said everything, what else is he afraid of? He just put his pen on his own.

There was a couplet written on the red paper, and Li Fangchen hurriedly asked someone to post it on both sides of the door of the Ministry of Revenue.

What satisfies Yan Shigu the most is the theory of horizontal criticism, and it is a warning to colleagues. What a warning to colleagues!

This is not only for the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, but also for all officials of the Tang Dynasty!

At this time, Li Shimin praised Wang Gui, "Wang Qing, this time I did a good job, and I will reward a thousand taels of silver!"

Wang Gui hurriedly accused him of crime, "No, this is the result of His Highness the King of Qin. The old minister is just asking for a advantage. If Your Majesty really wants to reward him, it is better to reward him with His Highness the King of Qin!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but a black thread on his forehead, "Didn't he, Li Fangchen, have asked me for 50,000 ounces?"

Wang Gui explained: "That's not a reward for Your Highness. Your Highness means that it is the year-end bonus for all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue."

At the end of the year, Li Shimin guessed the meaning of the words as soon as he heard it.

50,000 guan is not much. After all, the treasury was found before the investigation of corrupt officials, and the treasury earned hundreds of thousands of guan.

However, the 50,000 ounces were distributed to the Ministry of Revenue by the King of Qin, and Li Shimin felt a little unhappy.

"Then you tell me what is the meaning of his actions?"

Wang Gui straightened his body. Fortunately, His Highness had already mentioned something before. When His Majesty asked, he had an answer in his stomach.

"If you don't support officials, you don't want to let officials be greedy, so you can reward them more!"

"Let me tell you, I want to hear how that brat told you to deceive me!"

Wang Gui continued: "Why are you not greedy when you are honest and careless about your family? If you have money to reward, why are you greedy?"

It is equivalent to double salary in later generations. If it really breaks out, it will probably cause shock to the court.

Li Shimin also considered this point, so he looked a little displeased.

Wang Gui also explained that, "What's wrong with the Ministry of Households punishing corruption, raiding the house three times, and raising 50,000 ounces of money from it to supplement the honest official?"

This old guy was also brainwashed by Li Fangchen. If it weren't for the past, he would have been so righteous to ask for money.

Li Shimin was speechless and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since he has this idea, I will follow him."

Only 50,000 jin, even if the six ministries each receive 50,000 jin, he, Li Shimin, can afford it.

It’s just a pity that the only thing that can enjoy this kind of enjoyment now is the Ministry of Revenue!

After all, they have a backer!

The Ministry of Revenue is not like the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites. If there are officials involved in corruption, it will be a big problem.

I was always a little dissatisfied with Li Fangchen's year-end bonus. Shouldn't he, the father, be allowed to do the money?

As he thought about it, he moved the "Comprehensive Collection of Ministry of Revenue Management Plans" that he had been standing by his side for a long time to face him, dozens of them were taken, and he began to flip through them one by one.

Not long after, he couldn't help but say, "No! You can't let this kid win people's hearts!"

Liu Sancheng hurried into the hall, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince, he..."

"What's the matter?"

"He changed the Ministry of Revenue."

"Changed?"

Put down the manuscript in his hand, arrange someone to prepare for the journey, and rush to the Ministry of Revenue.

Outside the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Gui stood at the door, unwilling to move at all.

"Your Highness, did you write this?"

Li Fangchen shook his head, "Written by Old Man Yan."

Yan Shigu, beside him, looked unhappy, "Wang Gui, you can't even recognize my name?"

Wang Gui shook his head and sighed: "The word "is yours, but I'm afraid this article is related to Your Highness."

Li Fangchen was amused and couldn't help but smile, "Let's go, let's take a look first."

The first feeling was that the Ministry of Revenue was about to hold a wedding, and Wang Gui was stunned when he came in.

"Your Highness, are you planning to marry the Ministry of Revenue?"

Li Fangchen's mouth twitched, obviously he didn't expect Wang Gui to have such thoughts.

"I'm old, dressing up will also make the Ministry of Revenue feel a little happy. Wouldn't it be nice?"

"Okay... the old minister doesn't know."

This is another precedent. When did the Ministry of Revenue be so lively?

Yan Shigu walked straight to the side and sat down, "I can't see you on weekdays, but now it's an eye-opener."

There was a wooden basket on the table, filled with clean fruits.

Yan Shigu was not polite either. He grabbed one and tasted it with a big mouthful.

Wang Gui couldn't help but rush, "This is from our Ministry of Revenue!"

Yan Shigu didn't even look at it, and spat at Wang Gui, "It's all prepared by His Highness the King of Qin, it has nothing to do with you, the old guy."

Wang Gui was as angry as he stepped forward to grab it, and the result was obviously underestimated Yan Shigu's shamelessness.

"Don't you just eat two of your fruits, as for that?"

After stuffing a few more into his arms, Yan Shigu gave up.

Li Fangchen covered his forehead, feeling a little helpless, "In a few days, I will send someone to the Yan family."

Yan Shigu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Thank you, Your Highness."

There were chariots and horses outside, and an eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty is here."

The three of them walked out of the Tang Dynasty and moved to the door.

Li Shimin and Wang Gui had exactly the same image as before, staring at a couplet at the gate to comment.

The horizontal draft was written on it: He warned his colleagues. It made him laugh and praise him.

"I, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"My son, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Forgive."

He was very happy and patted Li Fangchen on the shoulder to show his praise, and then pulled Wang Gui and walked towards the inner hall.

He also asked Yan Shigu curiously, "Why are you here?"

Yan Shigu hurriedly said, "Your Highness asked the old minister to write couplets."

"You wrote this couplet?"

"The words from Your Highness."

"Not bad, very good words!"
