Warring States Call

Chapter 988 I, Lu Su, Have No Money
The fight outside is in full swing, but the inside is extremely busy. First, Han Yi took in 50 people from Zhongshan in order to resettle them. In addition to the war, the state treasury is under a lot of pressure.

Wang Meng's four phases each perform their duties, but there are also places that they can't touch, such as the one in front of them, each of them has a mouth, and dozens of underground people are speechless.

Here are Cheng Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Gongsun Yan who have been leading troops outside. The position in the court cannot always be empty. In addition, Cheng Yu has this talent, and there are more and more talents under Han Yi. The previous situation where one person held two positions at the same time appeared.

Li Deyu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials!Guo Jia is not there to replace them. The Minister of Housekeeping, Di Renjie, the Minister of Rites, Xun You, the Minister of Punishment, Bao Zheng, and the Minister of Industry, Han Qi, were all promoted and replaced by Han Yi, and now all six of them have come to the door. Along with Wang Meng and Li Si!Han Feizi and Xun Yu, more than a dozen people crowded together!How lively.

Surrounded by a man in the middle, facing these ancient civil servants, he is not afraid, talking to each other in an orderly manner.

Wang Meng and Xun Yu looked like they had nothing to do with themselves. Han Feizi was in charge of the law, and what he controlled was the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Bao Zheng also enforced the law like a mountain, and Han Feizi didn't worry a lot. Things, holding a bamboo slip over there, watching it carefully, and inscribing a book from time to time, exhaling a sigh of relief, seems very comfortable.

Li Si was the only one who began to adjust for these few people. After all, it was not good for things to spread.

Li Deyu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials standing in the front, was dressed in black, with dozens of white hairs on his black hair, holding a bamboo slip, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said: "Master Lu, the king has always paid attention to selection Talent! Now this year’s imperial examination has been selected! I will take office soon! I need to create official uniforms, as well as a series of blessings and salaries from the court. Please, Lord Lu, relax and put some gold and silver down!”

Lu Su glanced at Li Deyu, stretched out his hand, patted Li Deyu's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Li! You have always been the first to get the salary from the officials, but it is different now. Your Majesty has been going south in recent years. For the Northern War, I have saved for five years, and I don’t have much money, let alone the war is not over yet, we need to save some money, I will give you the money from the Ministry of Officials! But it has to be delayed! Procrastinated... I hope Haihan ah!"

"Hey! You! The talents of the country...!" Li Deyu hadn't finished speaking, and Di Renjie from the Ministry of Households grabbed Lu Su's hand and said, "The affairs of the Ministry of Officials should be slowed down first. The money and food have been put down, and Liu Ji of Ludi has already written Cui Jian many times, so you should put some money down this time, otherwise the door of my public case will be broken by someone!"

"Oh! Things about Ludi! I know all about it! Now it's spring, and it can be cultivated, and it can be reduced appropriately. I'm writing a list in a few days! Master Di, look at it!" Lu Su didn't panic anymore Not busy, but the fine sweat on the head has gradually emerged.

"No! I've already done the calculations! There's not enough money! There's also a little shortage of food! You're...!" Just as Di Renjie was about to speak, Cheng Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Lu! The battle reports from the front have come, The damage and replacement of the weapons is imminent, no matter what this time, the treasury must pay, otherwise the desperate soldiers outside will have complaints!"

When Lu Su heard this, he also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said: "In this way, I will definitely pay the money, and I will give the money as soon as possible! The built weapons will be handed over to the Ministry of War as soon as possible, but the Ministry of War will send those broken ones to the Ministry of War. I brought back the armor and weapons, and I asked my men to process them to see if they can be used again!"

"Okay, okay! If that's the case, I'm relieved!" Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and immediately said: "But this food and grass is also a problem! There are big tents everywhere! Horses that need to be transported need money. Look, Mr. Lu. ...!"

"Wait! Master Cheng Yu! Your Ministry of War needs money, and my Ministry of Punishment also needs money to build weapons! So this money should still be given to the Ministry of Xing, otherwise we will give it to the Ministry of War! Master Lu!" Han Qiyi I am not happy to hear it, why!In the past few years, Han Yi has attached great importance to the Ministry of War. Almost everything is based on the Ministry of War. The replacement armor and weapons are pulled from the Ministry of Industry one by one. However, the money he has been able to spend in the Ministry of Industry in recent years is not as good as that of the Ministry of War. Half of it, no matter what to say this time.

"No! These talents are sent to Ludi, and they must be paid!" Li Deyu was also unhappy.

"No! Bring the money quickly! We all know that the treasury is rich!" Several ministers rushed towards Lu Su like wolves.

The veins on Lu Su's head exploded faintly, and he shouted: "Okay!" The voice transmission of the words stunned several ministers in an instant.

Wang Meng and Xun Yu, who closed their eyes and meditated, as well as Han Feizi who was reading, all looked at the furious Lu Su.

Lu Su said with a red neck: "The war is not over. Everyone tightens their belts to live. The affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry cannot be delayed. The soldiers outside are fighting. This is what they save their lives. Fighting hungry! So this money must be paid out. The other four departments will be distributed after the king brings the treasury of Zhongshan, plus the taxes and taxes from various places. Go! The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rituals, there are no major affairs in the country these few days, so your salary will be delayed for a while, and will be released naturally after the end."

"This... this...!" Bao Zheng, a black boy, can only solve cases, but he still doesn't understand this kind of thing. When Xun You looked at Xun Yu, Xun Yu shook his head, signaling him not to stalk him. , I didn’t say anything, the ministers all had dark faces, obviously miscalculated.

Wang Meng took a sip of water, stood with his hands behind his back, hammered his back, and said with a smile: "Everyone should bear with it for a few days. The treasury doesn't have much money, so we can only take it slowly! If all these things are completed! If you have no money for a while, it is not easy for Mr. Lu to hold the money and food, but the matter of emigrating from Zhongshan in Ludi cannot be delayed, so this old man will contribute half of the family's salary to reassure the people!"

"This... Prime Minister Wang can't do it!" Li Deyu suddenly said in shame.

"There's nothing you can't do! If you win this war, everyone's position in the future will definitely be more secure than it is now! If you lose, the scene in front of you will be fleeting, so I'll start with you, you can give as much as you want! More or less, it can be regarded as contributing to the country!" Wang Meng sighed, and then everyone realized that Wang Meng alone attracted a lot of money, and the people among them had to feel sorry for them.
