Daming reckless man

Chapter 520
Standing there, Zhang Hao stared at the officials of the household department and asked, those officials couldn't answer now, how much the local government spent.

"I don't know? I don't know that you came here to tell me this? Hmm? This is how your household department works? You don't even know the accounts, and you hope that the emperor will hand over so much money to you to manage. Do you have to be A muddled account?
Let me tell you, you don't have to do things like this, do you?Anyway, you are also officials of the court, so you have to think about the common people, right?The emperor gave you so much money this year, and you spend it like this. If you give this money, your family will be rich by then, but the common people will still be poor?Can you show some face? "Zhang Hao stood there and said to the ministers.

"You, Zhang Hao, don't talk nonsense, we didn't spend money indiscriminately!" An official from the household department immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"It's best not to spend money indiscriminately, and it's still good to spend money indiscriminately. I'm worried that the money has gone into your own pockets. This year's expenses are so high, and there is no explanation until now. More than 1000 million taels, what are you using them for?" It's time, come, let's talk about it!" Zhang Hao stared at the ministers and asked.

Those ministers did not dare to look directly at Zhang Hao at this moment.

"Marquis Lu An, the Ministry of Accounting hasn't settled the accounts yet, so how could it be possible to know where the money was spent? The Ministry of Accounting uses a lot of money, so it's normal not to know!" At this time, Yan Song stood there and said.

"Yes, we haven't settled the score yet!" Sun Yingkui also said immediately.

"Really? If you didn't settle the accounts, forget it. How much time is left for the Chinese New Year? When will you finish the calculations?" Zhang Hao stared at Sun Yingkui and asked.

"This, it will probably take another two days!" Sun Yingkui said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Then let's talk about it after you have finished the calculation. After the calculation is over, the emperor will make a decision at that time. You don't know where the money will be spent. You let the emperor be so relieved to hand over the money to you?" Zhang Hao stared at them and continued. When they asked, they were also very helpless when they heard it.

"Your Majesty, this money actually belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs!" An official immediately stood up and cupped his hands.

"I didn't say it wasn't from the Ministry of Accounts, isn't the account book still in the Ministry of Accounts?" Zhang Hao immediately retorted and asked.

"But the Ministry of Household Affairs has no right to use the money!" the official continued.

"How much money do you want to use? Ah, isn't 1000 million taels enough? I still have a few hundred thousand taels at home. Do you want to use them? Is there no bottom line for the Ministry of Households? Where is the money used? Is there no bottom line? In addition to the expenditure of the Ministry of War, there is also the salary of the officials. What have you done for the people, can you explain it?" Zhang Hao continued to stare at them and questioned them. After they heard it, they all looked at Zhang Hao dumbfounded. They did not expect that Zhang Hao When I come to court today, I come to oppose it.

"It's okay for the household department to use the money, but there is a problem with where the household department uses the money. If all the money goes into your personal pockets, that's not okay. If it's used on the people, then There is no problem,

Now, His Majesty is using this money to buy land and give it to the poor people who have no land. So far, the people have not rebelled, why?

The emperor uses the money from his own workshop to subsidize your household department, so that the people of the world can recuperate. Can you just repay your majesty like this?Also, you are staring at the money because it is managed by the emperor, you want to embezzle it for yourself, there is no way, that's why you ask for it, isn't it? Zhang Hao stared at the officials and questioned them.

"Zhang Hao, don't talk nonsense!" Sun Yingkui looked at Zhang Hao anxiously and said.

"I'm talking nonsense. The Ministry of Finance has spent more than 1000 million yuan this year. Is it not enough? I just want to ask, where the money was spent, and who can give me an explanation. If you say you want to settle accounts, you can, wait until you finish the accounts. Let’s discuss this matter after finishing the accounts!” Zhang Hao stared at them and continued to ask, but the ministers did not speak at the moment.

"Okay, Zhang Hao, don't talk about it, Sun Yingkui, when will the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts be released?" Jiajing sat on it at the moment and asked.

"Go back to the emperor, I can come out in the morning the day after tomorrow!" Sun Yingkui said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Will you be able to come out?" Jiajing continued to ask.

"Go back to the emperor, yes!" Sun Yingkui said, cupping his hands again.

"Okay, I'll give you one more day to send it to Danfang before noon the day after tomorrow. I want Zhang Hao to re-examine those accounts. Once there are no major problems with the accounts and there is no corruption, it's really not enough. Then next year, I can hand over the salt and tariff money to you, but if there is a big problem, it is not a matter of giving you money!" Jiajing sat there, staring at the ministers below and shouted,

When the ministers heard that they asked Zhang Hao to review the accounts, they all felt a little bit in their hearts, and then they felt scared. When Zhang Hao went to Shuntian Mansion to investigate last year, they also saw Zhang Hao's ability to check accounts. After being audited by Zhang Hao, will the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and other departments still be able to celebrate the New Year this year?
"Your Majesty, do you still need Marquis Lu An to check the accounts?" Sun Yingkui looked at Jiajing anxiously and asked.

"You must check the accounts. I also want to know how much of the money will be spent on serious things and how much will go into my personal pockets. I am saving money now. If they still dare to corrupt me The money, can I still let them go?" Jiajing stared at Sun Yingkui and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Yingkui was in a cold sweat at the moment. If the accounts were to be checked, many people would probably be unlucky. By then, more than half of the household department would be arrested, and the people in other departments might not be much better off.
At this moment, Yan Song and the others are a little anxious. They didn't expect that Jiajing would let Zhang Hao come to check the accounts. They just thought that Jiajing would disagree, but the ministers must have great opinions at that time, and it would be bad for the court. work done,
But now that Zhang Hao wants to check the accounts, those officials are still in the mood to think whether the money is managed by the household department or the emperor. What they think about is whether they can keep their heads and their positions.

Xu Jie, on the other hand, stood there and sighed. He knew that from this evening onwards, until next year when he goes to court, many people will not be able to sleep at night, and many officials will be unlucky. Thinking of this, Xu Jie read After looking at Yan Song, he found that Yan Song lowered his head and couldn't see other expressions, then looked at other cabinet ministers,
Those cabinet ministers are also a little nervous about the label now, and they are probably worried about uncontrollable things, but most of the other civil servants standing here are nervous now, check the accounts, Zhang Hao checks the accounts, once the corruption is verified, when the time comes Can you still celebrate the New Year?Estimated to need to spend the New Year in the cell,

Jiajing looked at the ministers below, and then said, "Is there anything else to do?"

"Go back to the emperor, and the southeast war against the Japanese still needs 30 taels of military supplies. Now the household department has no money!" Wang Bangrui said immediately after thinking of this matter.

"Okay, I will send it to you later. I will never withhold money for war, but the money was originally paid by the Ministry of Households. I will talk about it after checking the accounts!" Jiajing nodded and said, the army is fighting a war. , no money can not do.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Bangrui was very nervous. He had previously supported them in fighting for the money, but he didn't expect that what they were fighting for was not money, but a reminder!
"Is there anything else to be done?" Jiajing continued to ask.Those ministers have nothing to say, now everyone is thinking about checking accounts, who wants to think about other things?

"Since it's all right, let's go to court, Zhang Hao, come with me!" Jiajing stood up after speaking.

"Respectfully send off the emperor!" The ministers saw Jiajing stand up, and said immediately, and Zhang Hao also cupped his hands, and then quickly walked over, followed Jiajing, and left the palace, and those ministers are standing there at the moment, look at me , I see you, no one knows what to do next?Checking the accounts, Zhang Hao checking the accounts, that's terrible, last year Shuntian Mansion was completely taken over, is it necessary to take away the household department this year?

"Mr. Xu Ge, are you free? Come to our household department to give some advice later?" Sun Yingkui saw Xu Jie, and immediately went over to Xu Jie with a smile and said,

The other six ministers responded quickly. Zhang Hao is Xu Jie's son-in-law. Let's see if we can get some news from Xu Jie. Things also ask for love, don't they?

"By the way, Mr. Xu Ge, it would be nice to go to the Ministry of War later, Mr. Xu Ge hasn't been there yet!" Wang Bangrui immediately said to Xu Jie.

"Mr. Xu Ge, you haven't been to the official department for a long time, why don't you go and see us!" The Minister of Rites also immediately said to Xu Jie.

"Well, you are busy with your own affairs first, our cabinet also needs to discuss, everyone can do things with peace of mind, when the time comes to check the accounts, the old man will also go to see, everyone is busy first, busy first!" Jie immediately smiled and said to them,

He is happy, one is that they asked him to, and the other is that he has not been corrupt this year, including the gift money, which is all clean money, so now Xu Jie is not worried, not at all, But other ministers have something on their minds, including Yan Song!

"Yes, we still have something to do in the cabinet. After the cabinet has discussed it, we will go over and have a look. You should do your own things first!" Yan Song also said to the ministers immediately.
