C1131 Underlying Rules of the Capital (2/2)
”Military Intelligence Service wants to purchase ink and paper, right? Although they could go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to claim what was already available, everyone had their own habits, and the things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave them might not be shared. The flowers, flowers, and fresh fruits placed in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, didn't they have to spend money to buy them? ”Therefore, we, Zhang Jing, still have a miscellaneous account in our hands. It's not something that the officials can control …”
With a ”pa” sound, the zingiberis radix slapped its thigh. ”My lord, have you noticed that there is a stove in the room closest to Military Intelligence Service? Not only is there hot tea in there, there are also fried dough sticks, scones, tea soups and the like …”
”This is a rule left behind by the Yongzheng Lord. Back then, the reason why I set up the Military Intelligence Service was to direct the Northwest battle, to have people on duty 12 hours a day. I can't get hungry like this!” Therefore, the Military Intelligence Service's 12 hours' worth of food should also be counted in this book … ”
”There's so much junk. The ice for the summer must be spent, right? Do you have to pay for the burning of charcoal in the winter? Don't even mention that the imperial court had a share of the supplies. What would that be worth? It wasn't even enough to buy food for the court members to eat … I'm telling you a story, don't be disgusting! ”
”Even Military Intelligence Service has to spend money to take a piss!”
Clatter * Yang Zhi's chopsticks fell on the table. ”What …”
”Hehe, my lord, you really don't know anything …” People of the Military Intelligence Service would not go to the latrine? Especially in the winter, when they were on duty in the middle of the night. People were eating and drinking in the house. ”Who wants to clean up?”
”It's impossible for us to do it ourselves. In the end, we still have to do it with the eunuchs in the palace. And in the end, you still can't give it to the silver … ”
Li Tuo and the zingiberis radix were able to make Yang Zhi unconscious with just a few words, as if he was performing crosstalk. ”Every few days, the bookkeeper, Zhang Jing and the copywriter would have to go out to a bar to have a drink? He couldn't be so long-winded! ”What's so great about spending my own pocket? My wife will definitely scold me to death when I get back. The money for eating and drinking at these gatherings will also be taken out of this account …”
”Whenever the holidays come, the brothers are not allowed to give out any benefits! How many of Gemeinschaft's ducks could it be? Can't you carry a few pounds of beef and lamb meat from Niu Street? Can't send a few red packets before the new year? ”Where does this money come from?”
”Oh my god, how much does it cost? ”Can the imperial government afford it …” Yang Zhi asked suspiciously.
”You are counting on the imperial government to give it to you?” The two of them said in unison, ”Don't make us laugh. The imperial government doesn't have that much money to give us. We need to rely on ourselves for everything!”
It seemed that Li Tuo really wanted to win Yang Zhi over, and he decided to tell him everything he knew: ”My brother! Isn't there a lot of money in the Great Qing Dynasty?
”Every year, the daoyin s of the various provinces would secretly pass on the Ice and Charcoal Salutation to the capital. This is already a semi-public secret. To put it bluntly, it is to pay respects to the Ice and Fire money in summer and in winter …” ”This is already a very large industry. Every province has a rule for the number of transports. Jiangnan has more, northwest has less …”
”The Ice-Charcoal Reversal shall be divided into the following parts. The provinces shall leave a copy for the officials of the provinces. This is understandable. The silver presented by Guangdong will definitely give priority to the officials of Guangdong Province. ”After that, there will be the court officials divided according to their ranks. The officials will receive less …”
”The eunuchs in the palace will be next, and a large portion of the points will go away. The last portion that will be left will belong to us small officials …”
”Almost all the yamen officials have their own internal accounts, and all the lesser officials can get their own share of the money …” I estimate that Beijing's Ice-Charm Venerable One would be around twenty million yuan each year! ”
