Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 193
The winter in the capital is getting colder and colder. Although it doesn't continue to snow, the dry and cold weather makes people feel more uncomfortable.

Especially for the elders who have to go to court before dawn every day, this kind of weather is especially difficult.

It has been more than half a month since the battle between the distance and Wala.

Although the yamen of the imperial court are still busy, for the top bosses, the decisions that need to be made have basically been completed.

All that's left for them to do is to steadily advance the basic direction set by the imperial court and ensure that there are no major problems.

This part is basically done by relying on a huge bureaucratic system.

As the decision-making officials, the important officials of the imperial court are barely more relaxed, and after the cabinet assumes the responsibility of drafting votes, the efficiency of the imperial court's handling of government affairs has been greatly accelerated.

Therefore, under the sympathy of the emperor, the frequency of the sun and dynasty changed from once a day to once every other day.

Elderly people don't have to wake up earlier than chickens every day, and can sleep soundly and soundly.

It was another routine morning court, Shen Yi was holding a book of memorials, and was reporting it.

After the war ended, the Ministry of War had less work, and the Ministry of Households had more work.

The capital has developed to this day, in addition to the prosperity of the city, there are also many villages and towns outside the city.

Surrounding the entire capital, within a range of tens of miles, there are basically large and small villages everywhere.

This time, the capital was attacked first as a precaution, and the imperial court evacuated these nearby people to the neighboring state capitals in advance.

And relying on the houses, many fortifications have been rebuilt.

Now that there is no fighting, these fortifications will naturally be demolished, and the people who have moved out will also be moved back, because the people's houses rebuilt during the war must be compensated accordingly.

At the same time, those refugees who are entrenched outside the city and came from the border one after another must be counted and sent back to their original places.

Although not all of these matters are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, most of them are related to the Ministry of Households.

Therefore, the other bigwigs are free, but Shen Shangshu is busy running around. For today's morning, he stayed up all night yesterday, and now his eyes are like pandas.

"Inside and outside the capital, the horse-rejection piles, trenches and other fortifications built to defend against Oara's siege have all been demolished, and the court has paid compensation to those who involved people's houses."

"The refugees who came from the border and other places have all been resettled outside the city. Shuntian Prefecture is counting the roster of their place of origin. It is expected to be completed within seven days. After that, officers and troops will be dispatched to escort the people home in batches."

Every time he said a word, the corners of Mrs. Shen's eyes twitched. This sum was all money.

Zhu Qiyu sat at the head, nodded, and said.

"Shen Qing has been working hard these days. All officials from the household department will give them three days of rest and bathing. Shen Qing can arrange it as appropriate."

The national treasury was short of money, and the internal transportation warehouse was not rich, so Zhu Qiyu gave full play to the principle of saving what he could, and slightly changed the rewards from the Ministry of Households.

Shen Shangshu did not respond, as long as he can save money, he is very willing.

"I am an official on behalf of the Household Department, and thank Your Majesty for the reward."

After the report from the Ministry of Households, the next step is the Ministry of Industry.

Shi Pu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, still did not return to Beijing. On the contrary, it was Zhang Min, the servant, who had heard about the employment system of craftsmen and households these days.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has accepted the order to send craftsmen to the border to build a new city, and the progress has been more than half."

"For the repair of various passes and the construction of new cities, it is estimated that 2000 people will be transferred from North Zhili, 2000 people from various places, and 4000 folk craftsmen will be recruited from various pass cities on the border."

"Now the first batch of 2000 people has arrived at Daumaguan, and folk craftsmen have recruited 500 people. Daomaguan New City is expected to take shape by the end of the year and be completed by June next year."

"but……"

Speaking of this, Zhang Min secretly glanced at Shen Yi at the side, then turned his face away, and said.

"However, the materials needed for the new city are insufficient now. After the actual start of construction, it is estimated that it will be consumed in less than one and a half months, but the remaining materials have not been in place for a long time."

As soon as the voice fell, the group of sleepy elders suddenly regained their spirits.

Eating melon or something is the happiest thing.

In particular, the main body of this melon is the household department who has just deducted his salary, so the bosses will be more energetic.

The Ministry of Accounting is very efficient, saying that this month's salary for pepper and sumac will definitely not be delayed until next month.

Two days ago, the imperial court had just distributed this month's salary, half of which was normal rice and wheat, and the other half was uneatable and unnecessary pepper sumac.

The bosses sent their own servants to the market to ask, and now the merchants in the capital that sell pepper sumac no longer buy it, and they can't cut prices.

As for why, those who can afford pepper sumac in the capital are dignitaries.

Now that the imperial court directly uses pepper sumac to pay their salaries, these officials' families will naturally not buy them separately.

In other words, these merchants can't sell their own pepper sumac, and of course they will no longer buy it.

After figuring out what was going on, the elders who originally planned to sell some money suddenly became furious, and even yelled at the household department at home for being improper.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Household Affairs did not go too far. It just discounted half of the salary and issued pepper sumac, while the other half was still distributed normally.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that there are really low-level officials who live on their salaries, and they will block the door of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Therefore, now that there are melons from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the bosses are very excited.

Aren't you a pepper sumac discount?

Now building a new city requires money and materials, so we can’t use pepper sumac to steal it from the people, right?

Especially a group of censors are gearing up and preparing to do a big job.

This wave they decided to stand in the engineering department.

If the Ministry of Households dares to delay, they will impeach the Ministry of Households for a vegetarian meal, hindering the overall situation of the court.

If it is such a large sum of money, the Ministry of Households will approve it quickly.

Then they have to talk to the Ministry of Households about the "tragic situation" of how many officials in the capital these days are suffering from hunger and cold, starvation, and being bullied by profiteers everywhere.

Even if you can't change the established policy of discounting salaries with pepper and sumac, you still have to disgust the Ministry of Accounts.

Facing all the hostile gazes, Shen Shangshu's good mood just now disappeared.

With a straight face, he stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the Ministry of Households intends to delay the transfer of money, it's just that now that the war is over, everything is waiting to be done, and everything needs money."

"Although it is important to build the Daoma Pass, it is not as good as repairing the various passes. After all, the winter is tough, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Wala tribe will violate the border again. Therefore, the bank of the Ministry of Finance must give priority to the passes that have been damaged on the border."

"As for Daomaguan, after all, the materials in reserve are still available for one and a half months. When these materials are exhausted, it will be the end of the new year, and craftsmen everywhere will temporarily stop working."

"Therefore, the Ministry of Household Affairs agreed that the money should not be allocated until one year later."

These reasons are naturally tenable.

After all, there are only so many treasury silver, and there must always be priorities.

But for the censors who have long been eager to try, they don't care about it.

After Shen Shangshu said so much, they understood one thing.

That is, the construction of the new city has to be postponed!
Immediately there was a censor who straightened his clothes and stepped out with a righteous expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached..."

"Your Majesty, I have a statement..."

Fuck, can someone choke? !

At the front of the class, another voice sounded almost at the same time, making a group of censors look up angrily.

The one who greeted them was a certain Duke Feng with an innocent face...
