Chapter 988 (1/2)

Chang en was ordered to go to Chang'an palace. He felt a little uneasy in his heart and his thoughts surged.

Before he was ordered to preside over the construction of Chang'an palace. After the palace was repaired, he had been idle.

He thought that the Empress Dowager would not use him again. He also bought a house to provide for the aged. Suddenly, someone from the palace informed him that the empress wanted to see him.

Is it that there is something wrong with Chang'an palace and the empress should be held accountable?

But if you are accountable, you don't need the empress herself.

When he arrived at Chang'an palace, he was invited into his study after being informed.

There are a lot of people in the study, each with an abacus, crackling accounts.

Gu Jiu puts down the account book in his hand and beckons Chang en to talk to him.

”There is a lot of noise here. Duke Chang will follow this palace to the imperial garden?”

”I will obey your mother's orders.”

Gu Jiu gets up and goes to the imperial garden.

Chang en followed suit.

”In the middle of the year, all industries need to make a mid-term settlement and estimate the market in the second half of the year. Recently, Chang'an palace in our palace is like an accountant's room. It is an abacus account book in and out. ”

”It's hard for your mother!” Chang en bowed and said.

Gu Jiu stands in front of the pool railing, watching the goldfish swimming in the water.

She held out her hand, and the palace man put a box of fish food on her hand.

She sprinkled a handful of fish into the water, causing goldfish to bite one after another.

”The annual audit accounts, need to occupy the palace a lot of time and energy.”

Chang en is staring at the goldfish in the pool. As soon as the empress opens his mouth, he quickly recovers his mind and concentrates.

”You want to change the situation?” He asked carefully.

Gu Jiu looked back at him and said, ”Duke Chang is worthy of serving Chengzong Wende emperor, and his reaction is very fast.”

Chang en bowed his head and laughed, ”I don't understand why my mother mentioned these things with me. According to the old slave's understanding, there are a lot of talented people around her. The audit and accounting of accounts can be handed over to the people below. ”

Gu Jiu chuckled. ”In recent years, our palace has recruited a group of people from Shanhe Academy who are hopeless in imperial examinations, but have great talent in skills. They are young, healthy, energetic and energetic. They have solved many problems for our palace. But also because young, it is inevitable to act impulsively, causing some trouble. ”

Chang en was silent.

Gu Jiu gently knocked on the railing, ”this palace needs a person, a person who can hold the overall situation, convince the public, and have a thorough mind. This is a good candidate. My palace is optimistic about Mr. Chang. ”

Chang en was surprised.

I have made numerous guesses, but I have not guessed this one.

”What the mother meant was that the old slaves would discipline the accountants?”

Gu Jiu nodded and shook his head, ”this palace intends to establish an independent organization, which is called the audit department for the time being. Sihai and Huanyu's accounts are examined and approved by the audit department. The personnel on both sides should not be involved in any entanglement. In the future, when the time is ripe, the audit department will also bear the burden of auditing the accounts of various Yamen. ”

Chang en's heart suddenly jumped and asked cautiously, ”does your majesty know about this?”

Gu Jiu nodded, ”the establishment of the audit department is the common decision of your majesty and this palace. The audit department, which seems insignificant, will play a role of a deterrent in the future. It will make every Yamen and every industrial personnel tense their skin and never stretch out their hands on money that should not belong to them. ”

Chang en's face turned white. Although it was cool at the edge of the pool and there was seldom wind, he was still sweating.

”I don't know what to say, but I don't know what to say.”

”Just say it. No matter what you say, this house will not be guilty. ”

”Thank you very much.”

Chang en considered his words, ”first of all, we have no hope for the people in the palace. The only thing we can count on is money. This audit department, according to the empress's design, if the old slave is right, he will find out the expenses in the palace in the future. Once the audit department reaches into the palace, the palace people's only hope is gone. The palace people had no hope at all. The old slave could not guarantee that they would do anything crazy. This is a group of people who are not normal. They have not cut off the only way to get money. This is to hurt the enemy a thousand and lose eight hundred! ”

Gu Jiu nodded, ”you have a point. Any more? ”

Chang en continued: ”just talking about the official salary, not to mention raising a family, is to support the official himself can not support. Welcome, servants, houses, chariots, wives and children Everything costs money. If you don't reach out, Zhou's officials will live like beggars. What is the reason why people study hard and take the imperial examination? No, it's a decent life, to be a good man. If the imperial court cuts off everyone's wealth, it's no fun to be an official. ”

Gu Jiu hears the speech and laughs.

She said: ”the palace supports your view on cutting off the wealth of the palace people. It really needs to be careful. But as for officials, Mr. Chang is too one-sided. In this dynasty, an official must first be a Jinshi. What does Jinshi mean? Duke Chang can't help but understand it.
