Chapter 214

Qin Huaidao looked at them for a while and then returned to his position.

Li Shimin sat on it and didn't say anything.

The ministers below did not dare to move at all, nor did they dare to say that Qin Huaidao was wrong.

Originally, Changsun Wuji wanted to say whether Qin Huaidao had checked the account wrongly, but now he didn't dare to say it anymore, and there was no possibility of checking the account wrongly.

Because he found that many officials who used to be the head of the workshop were sweating on their foreheads and they didn't even dare to look at other places. They stared at their feet and their legs were shaking.

"Boping, can I have breakfast?" Li Shimin sat on it and suddenly said to Qin Huaidao.

"I ate some of this." Qin Huaidao said with his fist at Li Shimin.

"Well, that's good. I'm still worried that you didn't eat." Li Shimin nodded and said to Qin Huaidao.

The other ministers turned their heads and looked at Qin Huaidao.

Is Your Majesty so fond of Qin Huaidao now? He even asked him if he had eaten?

"Boping, if you check all the books of the workshop, how long will it take?" Li Shimin continued to ask Qin Huaidao.

"When you go back to your Majesty, we basically checked the bills of three workshops in two days. If there are many books, it may be later. If we have to check them all, it may take more than four months.

Of course, if you recruit some people who can settle accounts to calculate together, the speed will be faster." Qin Huaidao stood there and bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"Then check it out, don't let anyone go, Boping, tell me the truth, how big a case would you expect in the Ministry of Works? How much did they have corruption in me?" Li Shimin was still very angry when he said this, pointing to the direction of the civil servants below and asked.

The officials were so scared that they shrank their necks.

"I don't know, but the six workshops I checked this time involved more than 80,000 guan. This is still not compared with the material prices of the Ministry of Revenue. If it is compared, it may be more.

Then, based on this calculation, it is estimated that the entire workshop will definitely not be less than 1 million guan, and it may even reach 2 million guan. Of course, this still needs to be investigated in detail before we can find out." Qin Huaidao answered Li Shimin's words again.

"Okay, okay, I dare to greed on Momo's money. It's really amazing. And everyone dares to greed on Momomo like this. I really think I am a fool? More than 1 million guan, more than 1 million guan!

Now I am reluctant to even build a palace. It only costs tens of thousands of ounces of money to build a palace. OK, okay!" Li Shimin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, this money is from our Ministry of Works?" Qin Huaidao stood below and whispered.

"Huh?" All the officials looked at Qin Huai and said.

"What did you say?" Li Shimin stood on it, and before he could hear what Qin Huaidao said, he looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Your Majesty, I said this money belongs to our Ministry of Works, right?" Qin Huaidao immediately raised his voice and shouted at Li Shimin.

"My, what's the Ministry of Works?" Li Shimin widened his eyes and shouted at Qin Huaidao.

"Strictly speaking, it's your Majesty, but we have to go back to our Ministry of Works first. Our Ministry of Works still has a deficit of more than 100,000 yuan now.

We still need to make up this money. When we make up for it, what will be done later will be your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"Well, it's okay, how much is the loss?" Li Shimin said and looked at Zhang Liang.

"This is your Majesty, I have lost about 135,000 guan of money." Zhang Liang stood up and bowed to Li Shimin and said.

"Your Majesty, our officials in the Ministry of Works are poor. Of course, I am talking about poor officials in the Ministry of Works. Your Majesty, look at his clothes. This set of official uniform is a little better. Look at the clothes inside him, even ordinary people are not as good as those of ordinary people.

Your Majesty, you can't take all this money away. In addition, I also heard that many officials of the Ministry of Works cannot even afford to buy houses. They rent houses, and the rent in Chang'an City is not cheap!

So, Your Majesty, you have to take care of our Ministry of Works!

Also, the room where Your Majesty, my office is just a broken table, and I don’t even know how many years ago it was left behind!

Your Majesty, this money must be returned to our Ministry of Works. When we pay back the debts we should pay, we will complete the things we should buy, and we will submit them again?"

Qin Huaidao kept crying poor, saying that the officials of their Ministry of Works were poor, and at the same time he also took off the official uniforms of a Ministry of Works and asked Li Shimin to see the clothes he was wearing inside.

Although this is very rude, they are not stupid. They know that Qin Huaidao is seeking benefits for them.

"Well, really, put on, put on, come on!" Li Shimin pointed at the official and asked him to put on his clothes, and shouted at the same time.

"Your Majesty!" Wang En stood up.

"Go, get a few exquisite cloths and bring two of them back with the officials who came to Boping. It's true that being an official is embarrassing me." Li Shimin said to Wang En.

"Yes!" Wang En heard this and immediately went out, then looked at Qin Huai.

"Your Majesty, so this money must be kept in the Ministry of Works." Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

The other officials turned their heads and looked at Qin Huaidao, wondering what Qin Huaidao wanted to do?

Could it be that he couldn't see that Li Shimin wanted to receive the money into the treasury!

Changsun Wuji wanted to stand up at this moment, hoping that he would not confiscate the money and hand it over to the Ministry of Revenue, but he did not dare to speak at all now.

He just impeached Qin Huaidao and was slapped in the face by Qin Huaidao and His Majesty. Now his old face is still red.

I feel ashamed to think about it. I was blinded by officials from those aristocratic families and never thought about their corruption.

This is also shooting myself in the foot. In the future, my prestige among all officials will definitely decrease a lot.

"No, I still have the money!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Works is also useful." Qin Huaidao still insisted on his own ideas.

"You, you, more than 1 million dan, what do you want to use for? Can you use so much money?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.

This kid actually wants to intercept more than 1 million yuan of his own money. If you want to intercept, don’t intercept so much.

"Your Majesty, I want to build houses for those poor officials. If poor officials are officials in the capital and cannot afford to buy a house, the Ministry of Works can provide them with a house to live in.

Until they leave Chang'an and go to work in another place, and then take back their house, the house does not need to be too big. A house, including the yard, can cover no more than 1 acre!

I have a budget, including buying land and building such a house, which is estimated to cost about 2,000 knots.

I also calculated that all the officials of the Ministry of Works have no houses, which totaled about 30 people, which cost about 60,000 guan. In addition, I also want to give them some benefits." Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin.

"You want to intercept more than 1 million yuan in 60,000 guan?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"No, what are the benefits?" Qin Huaidao looked up at Li Shimin and started talking.

"What's the benefit? It costs so much money?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao in confusion and said.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired about the Ministry of Revenue. In addition to their salary, officials of the eighth rank can also receive about 20 guan a year. For more than 30 guan a year, they can receive about 30 guan a year.

I want to reissue the officials of the Ministry of Works, such as Jiang Xionghao, who has been in the Ministry of Works for ten years and is now an eighth-rank official, so I need to reissue him 200 guan!

Your Majesty, if it weren't for their corruption, the Ministry of Works would not have been so poor. Therefore, the benefits of these officials were worthy of them, and they still need to be returned to them!" Qin Huaidao continued to report to Li Shimin.

In the past two days, Qin Huaidao also knew that the salary of a poor family in the work department was only enough for a family to have a meal, and even a maid could not afford it.

"Well, this doesn't need so much, right?" Li Shimin thought for a moment, and didn't need so much money, so he stared at Qin Huaidao and asked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you agree?" Qin Huaidao said happily when he heard this.

"Agree, I agree, but, this money?" Li Shimin nodded and looked at Qin Huai with a secret smile.

"Well, leave 300,000 yuan for our Ministry of Works, and leave the rest to Your Majesty, okay?" Qin Huaidao still thought about it for a while, and felt that in the future, he wanted to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Works, but he would not be able to have no money.

"Well, okay, according to you, I have given you the money, but the Ministry of Works, you have to take good care of me." Li Shimin pointed at Qin Huaidao and warned.

This sentence also warns the officials here to avoid causing trouble for Qin Huaidao if you have nothing to do.

"Yes, I will remember!" Qin Huaidao said with his fists and bowed.

Jiang Xionghao and the others were very excited at this moment. He didn’t know whether the house was divided or not, but he had a reward of more than 200 guan. With more than 200 guan, his family could be relieved a lot.

Zhang Liang was also happy because the Ministry of Works has money, and this money is calculated separately and will not be merged with the funds allocated by the Ministry of Revenue. This is the daily expenses of the Ministry of Works.

"Well, have you finished calculating? There are so many people, and after so long, I haven't finished calculating yet?" Li Shimin sat there and asked the accounting officials in the distant corner.

Immediately, an official ran over and reported to Li Shimin, saying, "It's calculated, but the account with Duke Hu is not in line with, so they are now reviewing!"

"Huh?" When the civil servants heard this, they turned their heads and looked at the official. Could it be that Qin Huaidao was wrong?

If you calculate it wrongly, then the matter is not over yet. Then it will not be as simple as impeachment.

Qin Huaidao looked at this scene with a sneer. Of course, he knew what those civil servants were thinking.
