Jia Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at this time and said: "Didn't His Majesty order his subordinates to pay their salaries? Why haven't they been paid yet?"

Earlier, Jia Yun had reported to Emperor Chongming about the payment of salary and silver. Emperor Chongming also agreed to the matter and handed the order to the Ministry of Household Affairs. He thought that the matter was settled and Zeng Guofan would take care of the rest, so he could rest easy.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yun didn't need to think too much because the salary had not been paid yet. The problem most likely lies with those officials from the Ministry of Revenue.

Zeng Guofan replied in a deep voice: "Uncle, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs said that there is no money in the national treasury, and we need to wait for the tax money from various places to be handed over to the national treasury before we discuss the matter of paying money in Beijing."

Hearing Zeng Guofan say that the Ministry of Revenue would wait for the tax money to be handed over before doing anything else, Jia Yun's face darkened and he said coldly: "Didn't the tax money from Jiangnan be handed over to the treasury at the beginning of the month? Why do you still say that the treasury has no money, Bo Yue?

what happened."

At the end of the year, tax money from all over the country was sent to the capital one after another. The first batch was the tax money from Jiangnan. Jiangnan is a sacred place, so the tax money is naturally huge. With such a large team, Jia Yun

No matter how ignorant you are, you will never fail to know this.

Jia Yun still knew the character of his subordinates. Zeng Guofan was reliable in his work. If the payment matters were entrusted to him, he would definitely take care of him. If the matter was not settled at this time, something would definitely go wrong.

Zeng Guofan replied: "The head of the Ministry of Household Affairs said that the tax bank must be submitted to the treasury after verification, and then the salary bank can be released."

Jia Yun didn't say anything when he heard this. After all, what he said was good. The tax money must be handed over to the treasury first and then distributed by the treasury.

The treasury has special supervisors, including one doctor, two wailang, one treasurer, two ambassadors, as well as the Bi Tie Shi and the Treasury Envoy. They have several kudings under their jurisdiction, and the precautions are very strict.

The bank treasury has detailed management regulations: "Anyone who pays taxes directly to the province and pays taxes to the Ministry will be moved to the bank treasury if there is a constant amount every year and the audit is complete. If the coffin is opened and sealed, anyone who cheats or counts incorrectly will be punished."

When tax money is delivered to the treasury, the silver is measured using the scale established by the user department. If the fineness is insufficient, the silver will not be collected. The amount is not based on the amount of silver weighed by the delivery unit, but on the scale of the treasury.

Weighing is the standard, so it can be guaranteed that the amount of silver in the warehouse is absolutely correct. When it is sent out in the future, it will also be weighed by the bank personnel on a scale specified by the user.

After groaning, Jia Yun said: "The tax money sent at the beginning of the month is almost in the middle of the month, and it hasn't been calculated yet. What nonsense!!!!"

Although the payment of wages has to go through the necessary procedures of the treasury and the treasury, it has only been half a month. No matter what, part of the calculation should be completed. How can it be so delayed?

Is it because the officials from the Ministry of Revenue are procrastinating, or are these civil servants playing some tricks? Jia Yun feels that the latter is highly likely.

Sure enough, when everyone in the hall saw Jia Yun's vaguely angry look, Liu Xun among them stood up and whispered: "Uncle, you don't have to be angry. It's the end of the year, and those civil servants have to pay their annual salary. They are always the first to pay their annual salary."

If you stick to them, the rest will be what we call "rough people", and this is the norm."

It has always been common for civilian officials to despise military attaches, so many civil servants in the DPRK and China would privately call military generals rough. They all knew this, but they would not say it in public.

When Jia Yun heard this, he immediately understood that whether it was salary or salary, these matters were in the hands of civil servants. In this case, it must be his own concern. The total taxes of the Qian Dynasty were only so much. If they were distributed to the people in the capital first

, what if they don’t have enough civil servants?

Don't underestimate the pay of the Jingying camp. The military pay of the Qian Dynasty was not paid monthly, but every six months. Moreover, due to the arrears of the pay of the Jingying camp in the first half of the year, if the Ministry of Household Affairs wanted to pay the pay of the Jingying camp, it would probably take a long time. A full year's salary.

The Beijing camp is different from other troops. They are all elites, and their salaries are more than twice as high. Even according to the minimum standard, each soldier is paid one month and twenty taels, and there are more than 80,000 people in the Beijing camp. Plus one year The salary is nearly two million taels, and this does not include the cavalry and the salaries of the various school officers.

And according to convention, those who are in arrears with their pay are the troops stationed in various places. Generally, the pay of the frontier army will not be in arrears. Therefore, the treasury has already prepared the pay of the frontier army. In addition to the pay of the border guards, plus the amount of the Beijing camp, the civil servants can Don't panic?

When Jia Yun heard this, he snorted coldly and cursed: "Fuck this custom. Your Majesty has agreed to it, so they can be careful."

Seeing Jia Yun start to curse, Liu Yan stepped forward and said: "Uncle, although your Majesty has an order, the people from the Ministry of Revenue have the excuse to calculate the tax and silver. This is unreasonable."

Jia Yun understood what Liu Yan meant. Although he had a sacred mandate, the process was there and he must be careful when handing it over to the treasury. Naturally, he couldn't be careless.

If Jia Yun breaks this rule first, there will be loopholes for the tax money to enter the treasury in the future. For Emperor Chongming, the priority should be carefully divided.

Jia Yun pondered for a moment and then said: "I have already been in arrears with my salary, but now that it is the Chinese New Year, my salary cannot be paid out. How can the soldiers below feel at ease?"

In the feudal court, men were the mainstay of the family, and their salaries were almost a year late and could not be paid out. How could a soldier's family have a good year?

Niu Cheng and others naturally knew that, but this was the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue, so what could they do? So they said, "Uncle, let's just hurry up and the salary will be paid sooner or later."

Of course Jia Yun knew that the pay would be paid out sooner or later, but they still wanted to explain why Jia Yun would submit a report to reissue the pay for the soldiers in the Beijing camp, and it would not be to establish prestige. This year, Jia Yun took office as the governor of the Beijing camp, and worked tirelessly to do it. There was an activity to rectify the Beijing camp, and many new soldiers were replaced. At this time, the Beijing camp said that it would default on payment. Isn't this a naked slap in Jia Yun's face? If this is really delayed until the end of the year, he, the Jiedushi of the Beijing camp, will be in Beijing. Can the soldiers of the battalion still have prestige in their hearts?

Rewards and punishments are clear, this is not an empty statement.

Thinking of this, Jia Yun couldn't help but think that there was someone behind the scenes who wanted to lose Jia Yun's face.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Yun said in a deep voice: "Boyue, take your soldiers with you. I'm going to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask in person whether these people who are in charge of the money bag can do good things."

Everyone looked at Jia Yun's appearance and seemed to be planning to make a fuss. Liu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Uncle, the Ministry of Household Affairs is busy with annual affairs and cannot take care of it at the moment. Let's be considerate and send someone to urge him to defecate. yes."

Jia Yun knew that Liu Yan was admonishing not to make things worse. When it came to the power of words, they were far inferior to civil servants. According to common sense, it was their generals who suffered the loss.

But Jia Yun was not afraid of suffering. With a cold snort, Jia Yun said in a deep voice: "We are military generals, so we should be considerate of a bullshit civil servant. If the Ministry of Revenue doesn't give me an explanation, I won't be afraid of getting into trouble in front of His Majesty."

With that said, Jia Yun tilted his head and ordered: "Boyue, let's go to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Zeng Guofan pursed his lips and originally wanted to persuade Jia Yun not to act out of anger, but after thinking about it carefully, Jia Yun was right. Why did their generals take the blame for the civil servants?

Thinking of this, Zeng Guofan immediately followed him......
