Chapter 800

Li Shimin was very displeased sitting there at the moment, and was very dissatisfied with those aristocratic families and officials of those aristocratic families. It is understandable that the officials of the Ministry of Works were said to have resigned. Li Shimin was originally capable people. If they did not do well in the court, they would definitely resign.

"Father, what should I do about this? If Boping said, if he gave them so much money, the aristocratic family and officials would definitely not agree. Then there would be a big fuss." Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Tell me what you think." Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and said.

"We will ask Boping to talk to the aristocratic family to reduce the money, so we don't pay so much. After all, 120,000 guan is really a bit too much!" Li Chengqian thought about it and said to Li Shimin.

"Personally, do you think they should get so much money?" Li Shimin thought about it and asked Li Chengqian.

"It should be taken if you double it." Li Chengqian said with a wry smile.

Li Shimin heard this, stood up, and then said with a very firm tone: "Then take it, Boping reminded us that talents are all talents, and such talents should be used for the court. If they were allowed to go out, the father believed that they would definitely be able to make so much money.

But the court cannot make so much money. The key is that the Ministry of Works not only makes money, but also has to do a lot of things. Straight roads, reservoirs, and bridges are all done by the Ministry of Works.

If they all left, the Ministry of Works will return to the past. Maybe they can't do anything big. The benefits of the straight road, my father believes that you know. Look at Chang'an. Now they don't know how much goods are to be sent to all parts of the country, nor do they know how many goods are coming to all parts of the country to Chang'an. These are taxes." Li Shimin stood by the window and looked outside.

"Yes, Father, the Ministry of Works is very important. Judging from the current importance, except for the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works is ranked first, and what the Ministry of Works does is beneficial to our Ministry of War!" Li Chengqian nodded and admitted.

"Since that's the case, why does Tang Jian still have to control the Ministry of Works? Want to transfer the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Works?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Ha." Li Chengqian heard this and smiled bitterly, and then continued: "In recent years, the government has also had a lot of expenses for the outside world. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the current education, which has increased a lot of expenses.

In addition, last year, the Northwest battle was going to fight against Goryeo next year, which required a lot of money. The Ministry of Civil Affairs was too short to do anything, and Tang Jian could only work in the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Civil Affairs really didn't have that much money. Tang Jian talked to his ministers about this matter.

This year, the vacancies of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will exceed 500,000 guan. If the war against Goryeo next year, the vacancies may reach 1.5 million guan. Tang Jian means that the Ministry of Industry’s money, even if it is given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for two years, these vacancies will be filled, and there will even be any remaining ones!"

"Two years are more than 4 million guan!" Li Shimin sat there and started talking. Li Chengqian heard it and nodded.

"The Ministry of Works also needs to do things. The affairs of the Ministry of Works are also very important. This is related to the century-old plan of our dynasty. You know that Boping does it is all about the long-term layout, just to stabilize our Tang Dynasty. The father cannot mobilize the money from the Ministry of Works. This way, Boping will be disappointed.

Once Bo Ping is disappointed, it will be a major loss to our Tang Dynasty. We can't afford this loss!" Li Shimin sat there and started speaking.

"Yes, my son knows, so I told him that if I want to control this money, I must let Boping agree. If Boping disagrees, then I will not agree. What the Ministry of Works does is all about people's livelihood.

Father, you haven't left the palace for a long time. Now the people outside support our Tang Dynasty, especially the universities, laws, and the reservoir bridges have been built, and the people have applauded.

According to the knowledge of the ministers, after the officials who built bridges arrived by the river, many of the nearby people brought their own food to help. They helped to work and did not have money from the court. However, the Ministry of Works stipulated that if workers were hired, they had to pay.

Later, there was no way to ask Li Shangshu. Li Shangshu said that since they don't want money, the workers' money will be donated to the local school to let the children buy more books.

Father, you can think about it. The Ministry of Works is promoting our court and winning the hearts of the people for us. The officials of the Ministry of Works are very capable of enduring hardships, and what they do is also very beneficial to the court!" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin. He still knows a lot about the affairs of the Ministry of Works.

"Well, this is pretty good! Do you mean to approve this memorial?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian.

"I agree with it personally, but the father still has to consider other officials. After all, if this memorial is approved, both the father and Bo Ping need to bear tremendous pressure." Li Chengqian sat there and spoke.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded and did not continue talking.

In the next few days, Qin Huaidao did not care about this matter. In the morning court, Qin Huaidao still did not go and had no time to go.

After the morning court, Wang Zhiyuan was furious and left with his seal. Qin Huaidao was still busy at Dali Temple.

"Duke Hu, something happened to the Ministry of Works!" Ding Xinyang quickly walked in from outside and said to Qin Huaidao.

"What happened? What happened?" Qin Huaidao stood up in surprise and asked.

"Mr. Wang left with his seal. This morning, the ministries asked to check the accounts of the Ministry of Works and also promoted some officials. In addition, Your Majesty recited your memorial today, which was to pay 120,000 yuan of money to the Ministry of Works. The court and the country were in an uproar.

More people started to say that the Ministry of Works was not, while some people said that the Minister of Works Wang occupied the position of the Minister of Works. He should have been promoted, but he has not yet been promoted, which is very unreasonable!" Ding Xinyang said to Qin Huaidao.

"Hang the seal and leave?" Qin Huaidao heard it, looked at Ding Xinyang and asked.

"Well, the news that just came is gone!" Ding Xinyang nodded and said,

Qin Huaidao went out immediately. This is not OK. Qin Huaidao regretted not going to court anymore. If he went to court, he would not care what they said. He had to explain this matter clearly.

Qin Huai said that he had left the palace and went straight to Wang Zhiyuan's mansion and met Wang Zhiyuan sitting at home.

"Duke Hu!" Wang Zhiyuan bowed to Qin Huaidao with a wry smile and said, "What's going on? Why should you be so impulsive?" Qin Huaidao went over and asked Wang Zhiyuan.

"You haven't heard what they said. The officials of the Wang family attacked me first. You said, "Oh, what's the face to continue to serve as the Minister of Works?" Wang Zhiyuan continued to smile bitterly and said to Qin Huaidao. When Qin Huaidao heard it, he didn't say anything, and then went to his living room with his hands behind his back.

"What should you do if you leave with your seal? I said, don't pay attention to these things and let them come to me." Qin Huaidao said helplessly to Wang Zhiyuan.

"They dare not look for you. They are afraid that you will leave. Everyone knows that the Ministry of Works can do nothing without you, but you cannot do nothing!" Wang Zhiyuan asked Qin Huaidao to sit down and continued to say depressedly.

"Today, Your Majesty read the memorial I wrote, and I paid dividends?" Qin Huaidao looked at Wang Zhiyuan and asked.

"Well, I asked, I objected to it all, especially those officials from aristocratic families. It was simply, hey, you didn't go, I really didn't see it. It said that our Ministry of Works has given so much money to the officials below. Each workshop has rewards every month, and now it still needs rewards. It's very unreasonable, and there are so many rewards. What do officials from other departments think?

Anyway, this matter is messy, and this matter is probably going to be troublesome. Today's court will be like this. I guess many officials from the Ministry of Works will leave with seals." Wang Zhiyuan said to Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao nodded, knowing that if this continues, those officials will probably leave in this matter.

"Yeah!" Qin Huaidao sighed, then sat there drinking tea.

"Duke Hu, the affairs of the Ministry of Works need to be changed. There must be a constitution. If we think so according to the aristocratic family, we will not be able to do things. Your Majesty is not very supportive of us. We have done so many things.

However, the Ministry of Works is very few to promote officials. Every year, the Ministry of Personnel transfers files, and the officials of our Ministry of Works are very necessary to transfer them. Therefore, the officials below are very dissatisfied, which is normal. They said that I have been in the Minister of Works for so many years and have not been transferred. Is it because I don’t want to transfer them? The Ministry of Personnel won’t transfer them for me. What can I do?" Wang Zhiyuan sat there and complained to Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao heard this and nodded. Wang Zhiyuan had been looking for contact before. When he was the Minister of Personnel, he was only promoted to half a level. Unexpectedly, someone has come up with this to talk about the matter now.

"Duke Hu, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Your Majesty doesn't pay attention to it, and it's useless to care about it. It's been like this several times. How many things have you delayed when you hang your seal before? This shows that Your Majesty has not paid enough attention to the Ministry of Works, and we value the useless!" Wang Zhiyuan sat there, persuaded Qin Huaidao to continue,

Qin Huaidao nodded, and knew that if His Majesty wanted to approve this memorial, he would not go to the court to read it, but directly approve it and leave it to the people below to do it. At that time, the court discussion would be a court discussion, but it still needs to be paid.
