"Hold the jade pillar, walk back to the south study room, admire this."

The old emperor felt that Yuzhu was too idle and needed some extra work to keep him busy, so he slipped him into the south study room again.

Including this time entering Nan Study Room, it was the third time that Yuzhu entered the political affairs hall of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the actual power of the Minister of Nanshufang was far less than that of the Minister of Political Affairs in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After Yuzhu received the order, Kangxi warned: "You are still very young, you must be brave enough to do your job, and you are not allowed to be lazy and slippery."

"Hey." Yuzhu promised well, but he didn't agree in his heart.

Precisely because he was too young and had military power, Yuzhu was almost invisible in the South Study Room.

Anyway, just one sentence, try not to express your position unless necessary.

Kangxi knew Yuzhu's temperament well, so he ordered: "You lead Hengchen and assist Li Guangdi in handling government affairs."

Yuzhu understood immediately upon hearing this that the old emperor wanted to promote Zhang Tingyu.

Because Li Guangdi was the chief bachelor among the Han officials, in fact, the three of them came together and already had the prototype of a small military aircraft department.

Li Guangdi, Yuzhu and Zhang Tingyu, their official positions happened to be from high to low, forming a reasonable mix of old, middle and young people.

However, what Yuzhu means is not that he is old, but that he has seniority.

Although Yuzhu has only been an official for eight years, his experience can already write a book.

Unlike Yuzhu, Zhang Tingyu has been staying in the South Study for these years, and his experience is very simple.

The south study room is the place where the prime minister is stored. Zhang Tingyu can control the world's major affairs by staying here.

It seems that the old emperor has planned to let Zhang Tingyu and Yuzhu be divided into civil and military departments and become the next emperor's ministers together.

The kingly rule is to see through things in the court without telling them.

After resigning, Yuzhu led Zhang Tingyu to Hengshu Jingshe, where the Nan Study Room is located.

Hengshu, as the name suggests, is the place where the prime minister works.

When Li Guangdi saw Yuzhu coming again, he couldn't help stroking his beard and smiled softly and said: "Qing Qing, I am old and forget things easily. I just need your help."

Yuzhu felt that this statement was false.

Even when he was ill, Li Guangdi could not let go of the power and would never let go.

No matter what Kangxi said, there is only one jade pillar, so don't talk too much unless necessary.

One has to guess the emperor's thoughts, and one cannot keep track of them all the time.

If you repeatedly guess the emperor's thoughts wrongly, you will fall out of the ranks of his confidants sooner or later.

For example, this is the case with Mr. Yan Ge who left Yan Shifan.

However, if you follow too closely, you can easily get distracted.

For example, Chao Cuo, Doctor Chao, was more enthusiastic than Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in reducing the feudal vassals. As a result, he was cut off in half.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, the cabinet scholar and minister of the Southern Study Room was the real prime minister.

Yuzhu, who does not have the title of cabinet bachelor, is at best a senior think tank of the old emperor.

Originally, Yuzhu wanted to continue dawdling, but Li Guangdi said: "The emperor has already ordered that all the records from the Ministry of Revenue must be shown to you first, and then submitted to the imperial review."

Zhang Tingyu glanced at Yuzhu secretly, feeling extremely envious. The emperor's arrangement showed that he fully trusted Yuzhu's ability to manage money.

Major events in the world require money everywhere.

However, the emperor asked Yuzhu to intervene in money matters, which was equivalent to putting Yuzhu in the position of the first person in financial management.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.

After Yuzhu sat down, he thought for a long time, took out a pencil, and drew a small grid on the paper.

To be honest, the archives of the central institutions of the Qing Dynasty, although piled high, are also very detailed.

However, there is a fatal flaw, which is very troublesome when checking files.

Because it is very unintuitive to record a little bit in the east and a little bit in the west, everywhere.

As for Yuzhu, he simply drew out a table to summarize the situation in each province, and then recorded it in detail by branch or prefecture.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

Once you start, it's actually not difficult.

For financial issues, reports must be clear, intuitive, and clear at a glance.

What Yuzhu is doing now is actually the most basic summary statistics work.

After lunch, Yuzhu returned to the south study room. When he walked in, he saw the old emperor holding the form he had drawn and looking at it very intently.

Yuzhu didn't dare to alarm the old emperor, so he held his breath and stood by the door with his hands solemn.

I don't know how long it took, but the old emperor suddenly said: "Yuzhu, if you weren't too content with pleasure, you would have become my minister long ago."

Yuzhu leaned over and said with a smile on his face: "To tell you the truth, all I was thinking about were lazy tricks, not worth mentioning."

"Are you being too modest? The table you drew can be clearly understood by even a small official who is proficient in writing." Kangxi was very discerning, and he could tell at a glance that the table drawn by Yuzhu would be used on a large scale. After implementation, there is no need to rummage through boxes and cabinets to check files.

The world's major events, in fact, include military power and money.

Kangxi had already seen the power of the form, so he simply equipped Yuzhu with eighteen more pen-posting forms.

Each of the eighteen inland provinces has a Bi Tie Shi who specializes in making this kind of form.

With these written help, Yuzhu's progress has been greatly accelerated.

Everything else is easy to say. It took Yuzhu a lot of effort to educate everyone and change the writing habits from 1 to 10 to 1-10.

The length of the table is limited, so it would not work if we continued the numbers in Chinese characters.

Yuzhu knew very well that since he wanted the horse to run fast, he wanted the horse to eat good grass.

Therefore, he issued a reward in public. Whoever did the job quickly and beautifully would be recommended for promotion. The number of places was limited, only five, first come, first served, last comer not allowed.

For example, cameras that shoot traffic violations are much clearer than security cameras. Why?

The affairs of the world cannot be supported by a wise saying: Who gets up early when there is no benefit?

With the help of a large group of subordinates, Yuzhu quickly put together the financial revenue and expenditure of the provinces and handed them to the old emperor's desk.

The old emperor was not an uneducated country bumpkin. He not only knew Arabic numerals, but could also solve linear equations in two variables.

However, the old emperor was so close to science, but he never thought of promoting it.

In the final analysis, the butt determines the head. To rule the huge China with a few bannermen, we must fool the people to the end.

"Oh, I really didn't know it by looking at it. I was shocked when I saw it. In Henan Province, the amount of money spent on building river embankments over the years has exceeded 100 million taels of silver. I really never thought of it." Kangxi shook his head and sighed.

Yuzhu understood in his heart that what the old emperor meant was that spending over 100 million dollars wasting money would not be as beneficial as building a palace extensively.

The matter of embankment construction is an endless cycle. After the embankment is repaired, it collapses, and then it is repaired again. The only ones who are really fattened are the dirty officials everywhere.

"According to your statement, the revenue and expenditure of various prefectures and counties can be summarized?" Kangxi stared at Yuzhu's face seriously.

Yuzhu nodded and said: "As long as the data is correct, it can definitely be summarized."

The old emperor stared at the jade pillar for a while, and then suddenly sighed and said: "You are only twenty-five years old, and you are already a minister of the Ministry of Finance. Alas, if you were older, the household ministry would be handed over to you."

But Yuzhu said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is too tired, but I think the Ministry of Rites or the Hanlin Academy would be good."

"Asshole, you just know how to hide and have some leisure time." Kangxi choked and was very angry.

Yuzhu lowered his head and did not argue with Kangxi.

To be honest, what is there to argue about?

The old emperor hated him the most in his life, forcing him to get benefits.

The more they fight, the more trouble they get. The boss, the second child, and the eighth child all fall into this pit.

In the old TV series, Wu Sidao said that the greatest fight is not to fight. He really saw through the old emperor's mind.

For a long time, Yuzhu had left a personality for the old emperor. As long as there was a gap, he would find ways to enjoy himself.

After so many years, Yuzhu never forced the old emperor to ask for anything unreasonably.

The old emperor gave it, and Yuzhu took it.

The old emperor didn't give it, and Yuzhu didn't care about it.

If the old emperor no longer needs Yuzhu, Yuzhu will quietly go home and rest.

Last time, Yuzhu deliberately had trouble with the old emperor, and as a result, he gained a lot of children.

Obviously, Yuzhu is really enjoying a comfortable life in Tangshan.

He is not greedy for power, is very rich, and has earned a title for himself. The advantages are too huge.

If Yuzhu was so heartbroken that he simply stopped working as an errand, the old emperor would be unable to sleep.

In order to facilitate inquiry and storage, the officially produced fiscal revenue and expenditure statements of each province are all drawn on rice paper.

Rice paper, after being mounted, can be stored for at least hundreds of years without deterioration.
