Sixty-five thousand taels of silver were like a big stone, smashing the seemingly calm layer of ice in the imperial court in the early spring, and the flooding water also brought out the sludge and black fish!

Prince Qing Yili was a shameless person who accepted money. He went out of the inner right gate to face so many eunuchs Sula and Zhang Jing in front of the Military Affairs Office, and then caught up with Yili.

"Brother...my good brother...you have to think about your brother!"

Prince Chun was so shocked by the conflict this morning that he couldn't speak, and his brain reaction became much slower.

“什么?什么油水?”

"Oh, my brother, don't hide it! Sixty-five thousand taels are all put in your yamen. The Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion is your territory!"

“花钱的事情您得找我啊!”

Yihuan was so angry that his forehead was veins leaping straight, "You...you...what are you talking about you! Are you crazy about money?"

"Is that my money? That's the stolen money. After the case is settled, the money will be charged into the treasury!"

"Oh... brother, why do you even talk to me? I understand the rules. No matter how much money you make, we two brothers will be, and you will get 40% off if you don't do anything!"

"Hey hey... don't leave, brother, we can do it in half!"

Yi Li was really shameless. He chased Prince Chun all the way and did not let go and did his job in a low voice. "Brother, the predecessors have sprinkled the eyes of future generations. Who doesn't understand this?"

"Whoever enters this money will be in the end... The money will not be moved, the money will be moved in the account!"

"Put the money in your yamen, and then handle the case well, and find a few scapegoats to settle the case... and then it will be easy to handle! In name, it will be deported to the Ministry of Revenue, but we will never change the money, just change the accounts!"

"Before giving away the money, you must hand over the approval documents for spending. You have to make up a project worth 650,000 taels!"

"Does the shed where the Nine Gate Admirals and Night Soldiers rest need to be repaired? It's probably worth 70,000 taels!"

"The permanent military camp outside the city is also broken and leaking, so don't repair it, build a batch of new ones... It's almost 120,000 taels..."

"The nine-sect admiral has a total of more than 20,000 soldiers, but according to the rules, it is better to have 30,000 talents. Why don't you take this opportunity to recruit a group of soldiers?"

"Bedding, cotton jacket, swords, guns, sticks...what should be paid? It's no problem to easily redeem 200,000 to 300,000 taels!"

"It's not easy to spend money. More than 600,000 taels are really not enough to see... Brother, don't look at me like this, actually, I can't make much money either, brother!"

"The water is soaked in the ground. The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice will not be allowed to follow you! If you don't fight at that gate, you can get the money successfully approved!"

"How is Mr. Zeng? Isn't it awesome? But when the Ministry of War reimburses the Ministry of War, wouldn't he have to pay the money obediently?"

When the Ministry of Justice was mentioned, Yihuan's face suddenly turned pale. This incident was a very shameful thing for the court and also the most joke that the Han warlords saw.

Just six years ago, after Zeng Guofan destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he began to gradually reimburse military expenses to the Ministry of War!

But at this time, I encountered a problem that was difficult to get around, which was also considered a Chen Ke of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the "Ministry Fee"!

What is a department fee? It’s very simple, it’s the hard money given to the clerks who settle accounts with each department!

书吏只是一些普通办事人员,他们的工作是抄抄写写,类似于办公室里最底层的文员,他们的上面有许多人——司官,员外郎,郎中,侍郎,尚书管着他们.

The problem is that these officials rarely understand financial expertise, and are even more reluctant to spend time and energy on boring accounts, so they turn the responsibility of audit to the clerks. When the clerks say it is OK, they sign the review report that agrees to reimbursement; when the clerks say it is not OK, they sign the refuted opinion sheet.

Because of this power, the clerk of the Ministry of Revenue cannot be reimbursed without paying the "ministerial fee". Almost those who want to reimburse the money will encounter this kind of trouble. The way to solve the problem is to find relationships, connect the channels, and ask someone to "do things".

不是打点官员,而是打点这些小小的吏员们!给官员的贿赂,哪都有另外的名目!

Zeng Guofan encountered such a problem. If he did not act according to the unspoken rules, he would not be able to reimburse him. However, if he acted according to the unspoken rules, the extra fees would eventually be shared by the people!

The most terrible thing is that the fee is too high. According to the convention in the court at that time, the clerks had a very big appetite and asked for a rebate of 100 taels. The so-called "li" means to reimburse 100 taels for one taels. One cent three cents means to reimburse 100 taels for one taels for one taels for one taels.

In other words, if there are ten million taels of military expenses, these officials will have to eat 130,000 taels!

Zeng Guofan’s first military expenditure was reimbursed six years ago as much as 40 million taels, and these clerks had to eat a small amount of 500,000!

Can 500,000 taels of silver fall from the sky? In the end, it was the Lijin Bureau of each province that distributed it and then fell on the heads of ordinary people.

无非就是多征税,多加火耗而已!

Zeng Guofan refused to give this money, but he knew very well that if he didn't give these clerks, he wouldn't work. If they didn't sign the review form, you wouldn't be able to reimburse him!

This is a bit like the finance department of a company in later generations. You take ** to reimburse, and the cashier who does business, the accountant just doesn’t sign it. It’s not easy for you to find a boss. People just pick the bones in the eggs and drag you to death!

Marshal Zeng had no choice but to ask someone to express his mercy. At that time, he asked the Jiangning governor to go to negotiate privately with the clerks of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, which was to set aside the price!

The commander of the Hunan Army with 500,000 is indeed worth a lot of face, and those clerks dare not offend such a warlord with heavy troops!

It’s really worthy of face, and finally the negotiation was reached at 80,000 taels!

The commander gave 80,000 taels to ensure that the military expenditure was successfully reimbursed for 40 million yuan!

This incident was a hot topic in the Hunan Army at that time, and the discussions between the government and the country were in full swing!

After all, Yihuan is the descendant of Aisin Gioro. This dynasty is their family property. He actually doesn't want to see the court corruption so much!

The 80,000-two fee was like a thorn in his heart. He knew very well that the money had already made the Han warlords all over the world look down on the court very much!

There is not much of the awe of the court left!

I didn’t expect that Yi Li would pick up any pot today, and he said something shamelessly!

"Enough! Yi Li, you are so shameless! You have lost all the face of your ancestors!"
Chapter completed!
