Chapter 438
Jiang Bojin sat on the side drinking tea, and every time he sent away a person who had claimed a denomination gold ticket with the officials of the household department, he would say with a smile on his face: "Welcome to come back tomorrow." Hearing that these people left a little faster.

And when these people leave, there will be a few tigers and ben troops behind them, responsible for following them home and transporting gold back.

When the sun went down, Jiang Bojin stretched his waist and asked, "Have you finished counting?"

The official of the household department replied respectfully: "Report to my lord, everything has been counted."

"Since this is the case, then put all the gold into the warehouse." Jiang Bojin ordered.

"promise."

The warehouse of the bank is not only guarded by heavy soldiers, but there are also archers hidden in the dark. There are still two locks used to open the warehouse.

Only [-] gold bricks are placed in the warehouse of the bank, and the same is true for other places. The remaining gold bricks are stored in the national treasury. Only when the Ministry of Finance confirmed the authenticity of the gold ticket can the gold be exchanged successfully.

The merchants traded with gold tickets, and found that it was more convenient than pulling gold and silver in a carriage. After that, Jiang Bojin didn't need to force him, and he took the initiative to come to the bank to exchange gold and silver tickets.

In the first three years of Yong Tai Chu, not only the weather was smooth, the people had a bumper harvest, but even the treasury was full of taxes. During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Yuanxi waved his hand, and all the courtiers received an extra salary.

In the fourth year of the early days, after the imperial court began to write, the courtiers began to get busy. On the contrary, Jiang Yuanxi, since the implementation of the system of three provinces and six ministries in the imperial court, the division of labor under her staff has been clearly defined, and it has become more and more useful. She, the emperor, has become more relaxed. After dealing with the memorial in the morning, I would concentrate on teaching my nephews and nieces in the afternoon, not only taking them to study, but also teaching them martial arts in person.

Jiang Yiming and others went to the Tai Academy in the morning to study with other children incognito, and entered the palace in the afternoon. Jiang Yuanxi taught them how to behave in the world, and even reported things to Chang'an Palace from various places. Ask them what they think first, and then break it down and teach them.

Most people only saw that Jiang Yuanxi was keen to teach his nephews, but few people knew about the mobilization and drill of the secret military camp. There was a faint serious atmosphere among the various troops.

Among the six ministries in the three provinces, the most admirable is the household department under the jurisdiction of Jiang Bojin, and it is also the officials of these household departments that make the scalps of powerful merchants from aristocratic families tingle the most.

After the beginning of spring every year, the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs will go to various places in batches, and take back the red deeds such as house deeds, land deeds and shop deeds stamped with the seal of the government government, and re-register the permanent property of each family.

And every year, these household officials would go to the fields to look at the division of the fields, inquire about the prices of grain shops in the market, and Qiao Zhuang dressed up to ask the people about their harvest and life.

As an official of the Ministry of Households, the minimum requirement is to be able to make good calculations. Basically, everyone has a pair of sharp eyes. When measuring the land in the field, you can see if there is more than one person. It is really difficult to hide Hengchan from the eyes of this group of household officials.

It's not that no one wanted to bribe these officials of the household department, but these people were reported to the Ministry of punishment by the people of the household department when they turned around. They were charged with bribing court officials to evade taxes.

At the beginning, some people secretly scolded the people in the household department for their brains. They couldn't figure out that there were still people who didn't love gold. Until the eighth year of Dayong, an official of the household department had drunk too much and accidentally revealed that they didn't even like gold. It is not uncommon for other people to buy their gold and silver, and accept the silver bribes from these people. If they are accused, they will not only lose their official position, but also go to jail.

And as long as they are stern and selfless, after collecting all the taxes at the end of the year, they can get a reward for the county and city taxes they are responsible for. This money was won by Jiang Bojin and Jiang Yuanxi for the household department. With money, everyone can have a good year. If you do your part, you will get money. Why take the risk of accepting bribes?
Of course, not everyone can suppress the desire in their hearts. Someone will always be attacked with gold and silver, but Jiang Bojin will collect the records of several counties every year. He didn't listen, and let the people from the Ministry of Punishment take him away.

Jiang Bojin said to his subordinates like this: "This king has always protected his weaknesses and is generous to his subordinates, but you can't treat this king as a bully, taking the royal salary and taking the rewards from the treasury for you. Silverfish, if this king finds one, he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life, and the court will control him every day, so that he can repent and reflect on his mistakes inside. If I am sorry for your majesty, the court, and this king, I will let him do it again. I can't even see the sun!"

After Jiang Bojin ruthlessly sent the two of them to the prison, the household department no longer dared to play tricks, and if you fail the imperial examination every three years, you don’t have to worry about it, as long as you can go to the household department to prove that you can play well. Check the innocence of the net worth, and it will be collected by the Ministry of Households. Starting from a small official, after a few years, you will gradually get promoted and get rich.

Those who can not only make calculations but also do mental calculations will be scrambled for by the officials of the household department.

And if a person who passed the imperial examination is assigned to the Ministry of Accounts, he must also test his ability to plan. If he can't settle accounts, this person will be sent back in a good manner, and the Ministry of Accounts does not want it!

According to what Jiang Bojin said: "You can't even make calculations, but you still want to come to their household department. Who is this looking down upon?"

Although his words offended many officials, but Jiang Bojin did his own thing, which instead made everyone in the household department do practical things. Jiang Yuanxi thought of asking about autumn harvest taxes or other things, and called people from the household department to ask , You can get the answer right away, Jiang Yuanxi highly praised the Ministry of Accounting, and the people in the Ministry of Accounting always go out with their heads held high.

The ministers of other ministries were not reconciled to being compared by the Ministry of Households, and they learned from Jiang Bojin one after another. For example, Qu Chengwen’s Ministry of War, if he knew how to make weapons but failed the imperial examination, as long as he proved himself, he would also be recruited as a junior by the Ministry of War. As an official, if you can make better weapons, you will gradually get promoted.

Another example is the Ministry of Punishment, who is not afraid of failing the imperial examination. Those who have memorized all the laws of Dayong can answer any one of them, and can enter the Ministry of Punishment.

So it turned out that the imperial examination is not the only way to enter the official career. As long as you have a good skill and can meet the needs of various departments, you can also become an official. Although the starting point is low, as long as you work hard, you will always be promoted slowly.

The appearance of these wild ways filled the officials with a sense of crisis. If they could not study hard, they would learn more skills. If they had more skills, they would have a better chance of winning than others.

Although Dayong like this has not shown his power yet, he has planted a terrifying seed, just waiting to take root and sprout, and make the enemy tremble and fear after it grows vigorously.
