Meng Tao said in astonishment: "I am a low-ranking official with few talents and little knowledge. Please ask the Prime Minister to take back my order."

He really didn't expect such a big good thing to happen to him.

Being a minister is just like Chinese cabbage, isn’t it valuable?

"I asked you to take the truth with conditions, or did I let you take it for nothing?"

Xie Ji said that after all, this Meng Tao was the one he was most familiar with besides Liu Shui.

This can also reduce his inner self-confidence.

Meng Tao raised his head, what conditions?

"Cai Yan is responsible for the land restriction order. When the time comes, you will lead the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to register all the land nationwide, classify the land into categories, including those occupied by the imperial city and officials, and sort out the fertile farmland and mountainous land."

"Each region is divided into categories, and the crops and specialties, folk customs, and people's living conditions in those regions are all registered. As for the national treasury, you don't have to worry about it."

The original income of the treasury is a secret and only a few people know it.

Meng Tao was surprised, and so were the others.

Is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance doing this?

Considering the folk customs, although this is true, is it not the most serious?

But that's fine, the treasury has already been taken over by the prime minister. As for finance, he just takes care of taxation every time without any hesitation.

Are those taxes reluctantly reported to Xie Ji?

There is a lot of corruption.

He Yan's treasury management rights were taken away by Xie Ji. Can he be happy?

What's more, the original person often scolded him and was about to be diagnosed with depression.

If he often went to complain to the emperor, the emperor would naturally ignore him.

So he tampered with the account books and embezzled a lot to express his resentment.

Prime Minister, right? I've embezzled all this. Let's see how you can come up with the money. I think you won't even be able to pay your salary by then.

It's a pity that the original person has long seen his methods and ignored him. You are corrupt, you are corrupt, you are corrupt, and I will watch you corrupt anyway.

I'll ignore you, and when you get more and more desperate, I'll kill you with one move.

However, Xie Ji thought that this would be a big loss for him. No matter how corrupt he was, it would just be corruption. Now he no longer cares about corrupting the court.

The word corruption is mentioned in every impeachment, but the crime of corruption is not punished every time.

You have become immune to corruption. No matter how much corruption you commit, no one will care about you.

Even the emperor has let it go, and the word corruption has become widespread.

Nor will officials be punished for excessive corruption.

When the emperor had no money, he turned to the original person. This original person was at a loss!

After all, the taxes from the Ministry of Household are a huge amount of revenue, right? Were they all embezzled by those people? Then I have to pay more money to fill that hole. This is really not cost-effective!

The original body didn’t feel distressed, but Xie Ji felt distressed for him!

The original person is not here? It’s all his money!

Xie Ji felt inexplicably heartbroken? The problem is that He Yan has committed nothing but corruption.

Last time, he was caught drinking with Zhao Yi? He was only able to get rid of him after he was drunk and raving.

But if it was framed, he really couldn't do this.

However, at any rate, he has decided to step down as Minister of Household Affairs.

"Wei Zhenzhi."

Wei Zhenzhi is the Minister of Household Affairs? The question is quite free. Seeing that he has done nothing, he must be very lucky.

However, they are also among the few officials who have not been corrupted or bribed.

He had no choice but to take advantage, but he was not corrupt.

But even if he wanted to corrupt, he didn't seem to have the chance to do so.

"Prime Minister, will I cooperate with Meng Shangshu's work? I will be absolutely loyal to my duties and dare not slack off."

Wei Zhenzhi heard Xie Ji calling him and said immediately.

His good days are over.

I used to be so leisurely, but now I'm better, I don't know if I can still be leisurely.

Xie Ji twitched. Isn't it awkward to call the minister so quickly?

If Wei Zhenzhi could say, why is it awkward? Who would take it seriously?

As long as he is free and has a salary, it will be fine.

If he really became that minister, given his virtue, he might be kicked out in a few days.

How embarrassing!

Xie Ji thought that he would be really worried if Wei Zhenzhi was asked to cooperate, not to mention that Wei Zhenzhi was not needed to do it now.

"Shen Yi."

"What are your orders, Prime Minister?"

He felt uncomfortable when Meng Tao became the Minister of Household Affairs. How could this man be so lucky?

It's better than the stingy Wei Zhenzhi. At least Wei Zhenzhi jumped a bit, but it's not that exaggerated.

"You are now the Minister of Taipusi Temple, right?"

When Xie Ji mentioned this, Shen Yi's face darkened. Every time he criticized someone, they would laugh at him for being a horse breeder.

Although this is a sacred profession, its status is not low.

But he was still unhappy because he didn't have enough control over the horses, especially when someone told him that one of the horses was sick while he was still sleeping.

When Ma is sick, he needs to see a doctor. It will be useful to him, but he still has to sleep.

The noise from those people completely disturbed his sleep. In addition, he was angry when he woke up, so he liked to yell at those who woke him up.

But those people still worked tirelessly to annoy him. How could he not lose his temper?

What's even more disgusting is that they don't tell him during the day and insist on coming to wake him up when he is sleeping. Every time the horse gets sick, it is always at night.

This made him even more depressed.

"Yes, in charge of horse administration." Shen Yi replied with a black line.

What does this horse have to do with him?

The problem is that every time the prime minister sees that the horse is not fat or healthy, he comes and scolds him.

From then on, he told those who raised Ma Wei to give him the best feed. He always had about a hundred veterinarians at the horse farm, and he would ask if anyone would bother him when he saw it.

After that, he was finally freed, but unfortunately, the prime minister paid for the fodder in advance, but he had to pay for the veterinarian's wages himself.

Since then, his salary has been gone, and it has been given to a hundred veterinarians. No one has fifty taels per month. He is crying!

Fortunately, fortunately, he still has some income that cannot be said to be glorious every month.

But he cannot be like Cai Yan, who spends money like water every day, spending five thousand taels a month, and still has two thousand taels left.

He only earns 5,000 taels a month, which is one of the reasons why Cai Yan and others hate him.

He laughed at the fact that he spent all his salary to hire a doctor. Veterinarians are scarce these days, and each one costs fifty taels a month. Really, his salary is just gone.

But he is not like Wei Zhenzhi, who only spends 300 yuan a month. This is too miserable.

He spent nearly 800 taels in almost a month. He couldn't treat himself badly. Even if he treated himself badly, he couldn't treat his wife and children badly.

And those servants must have expenses.

But other incomes, well, the occasional filial piety from others, all kinds of things, are enough for him to live on, and there is still some leftover every month.

After Shen Yi said this, Cai Yan smiled at him. Seeing that you are mocking me, it is finally his turn.

Shen Yi has a black line, just wait, you idiot, you have been tricked into losing a million taels and you still dare to talk.

That is equivalent to my salary of 16 or 17 years, how nice it is for me.

You are not heartbroken, I am heartbroken!

"Since you have nothing to do, work with Wei Zhenzhi to increase grain production. Later, this method will be promoted across the country."

Shen Yi's face turned darker. He was not a farmer. How could he know how to increase food production?

It's none of his business. He's just a horse keeper, not a field keeper.

"By the way, no one has been in charge of the Great Farming Order for a long time. When the time comes, I will go to His Majesty and tell you that the position will be yours. You are the third rank. You can receive double salary. Are you happy?"

Xie Ji smiled and said, His Majesty would not reject him, after all, this is just a name.

It has been abandoned for a long time and has no use, and now it is just a vacant position.
