Chapter 245 There’s Something About This Little Heizi
Hai Rui has been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for almost a year since he was assigned to watch the administration.
In this year, Hai Rui's reputation began to rise within the household department.
The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs who watched the government under his supervision were in extreme pain.
For a while, I couldn’t figure out who was the real person in charge of things in the Household Department.
A small government official turned out to be even more difficult to deal with than a royal censor. Whenever he saw problems with the work records and official documents of the household officials he was studying under, Hai Rui would immediately point them out and let them go. The bureaucrats at the Ministry of Household Affairs, who were already as busy as dogs, were even more exhausted.
So much so that during this year, the heads of the household department who wanted to teach Hai Rui to study politics could not help but feel trembling.
On several occasions, the household department supervisors who had been watched and studied by the government became angry and wanted to scold Hai Rui for meddling in other people's business and asked him to watch and study the government and not point fingers.
As a result, Hai Rui took out the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Household Affairs that few people could remember, and directly followed the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Household Affairs that were promulgated in an unknown year, and explained them to him in a clear and logical manner. reason.
Now these Ministry of Household officials can be completely defeated.
You must know that the Ministry of Household Affairs is the busiest among the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to being responsible for the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxation, salaries and wages, and all financial matters, the internal government affairs will also be divided into divisions based on regions.
Therefore, there are dozens of yamen in each department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, responsible for the financial affairs of different regions and provinces.
And that’s not all. For example, the credibility of the Ming Dynasty banknotes has been ruined to the extreme. The Ministry of Revenue is still in charge of its printing and issuance, and it prints a large amount of Ming Dynasty banknotes every year to fool the early The number of vassal kings from various places and their clan members expanded to an unknown number, and these people were given salaries.
Of course, in addition to these, the household department also has many messy businesses, such as various warehouses and various warehouses.
It can be said that in the Ministry of Household Affairs with such complicated affairs and complicated departments, even the Minister of Household Affairs may not be able to figure out how many departments, warehouses, and warehouses he has to manage.
But Hai Rui was very knowledgeable. He could not only name the Purification Department, Tiju Department, Banknote Printing Bureau, and various warehouses and warehouses, but also the rules and regulations of these departments, bureaus, warehouses, and warehouses. Make it crystal clear.
Who can stand such a serious person who also likes to talk about things according to rules?
So you can imagine how famous Hai Rui is in the household department.
However, with Hai Rui being such a conscientious supervisor, the efficiency of the Ministry of Revenue does seem to be a bit better than a year ago. Moreover, after this year, the Ministry of Revenue finally settled the tax catalog for the year. The data seems to be a little more than in previous years.
It has to be said that Hai Rui is still very capable.
Especially after Emperor Jiajing learned the news, he even smiled and praised Hai Rui privately to Huang Jin, "This little black guy has something."
Gao Gong was also close to I haven’t seen Hai Rui for a year.
Now he wanted to test Hai Rui's reputation on behalf of Zhu Zaijing, so he spent the next two days asking more about Hai Rui.
After learning about Hai Rui's reputation in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Gao Gong was also amazed.
He never expected that Haigangfeng, who came from the ends of the world, could have such abilities. No wonder Prince Yu would regard this person with such special regard.
It turned out that King Yu had already seen his ability at a glance.
When he thought of this, Gao Gong couldn't help but feel even more delighted for Zhu Zaijing.
What a blessing it will be for a prince who has such an ability to recognize people and truly inherit the throne in the future?
The six hearts reside.
This is a famous pickle shop in the capital, and it is also a shop that Hai Rui often patronizes.
Hai Rui likes the pickled radish made by Liuxinju very much, so every once in a while, Hai Rui will spend a few coins to buy a small plate of pickled radish as a special snack to improve his daily life. On this day, Gao Gong and Hai Rui made an appointment to reminisce and chat in the Liuxinju store.
Gao Gong entered the Liuxinju shop and immediately saw Hai Rui sitting at a small table in the corner.
Gao Gong walked directly to Hai Rui in the lobby, and greeted with a smile: "Your little life is comfortable and enviable."
As soon as Hai Rui heard Gao Gong's voice , and quickly stood up and saluted Gao Gong without being humble or condescending, "I have met Gao Gong, the official."
Gao Gong unceremoniously sat next to Hai Rui, looked at Hai Rui and said, "You're welcome, we are outside now, not in the Yamen. Just relax."
Then Gao Gong lowered his head and took another look at the side dishes on the table. When he found that there was only one plate of pickled radish, he was immediately impressed by Hai Rui's frugality.
Gao Gong shouted loudly to the waiter in Liuxinju, "The waiter, come here, bring some good pickles and a pot of old wine."
When the waiter heard Gao Gong's voice, he quickly took action and immediately prepared several plates of good pickles and a pot of old wine.
The waiter enthusiastically introduced to Gao Gong: "Uncle, these pickles are Mr. Yan Ge's favorite, and they are also the signature dishes of our Liuxinju. You can use them slowly."
Gao Gong chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, today I will also try what Mr. Ge's favorite tastes like."
After sending the waiter away, Gao Gong looked at Hai Rui beside him, enthusiastically He said, "You should try it too."
But Hai Rui only took the pickled radish he ordered, and said to Gao Gong, "Xiaguan likes to eat radishes."
Looking at Hai Rui like this, Gao Gong could only shake his head slightly.
The two of them had been getting along for a long time because of Zhu Zaijing, and Gao Gong was naturally familiar with Hai Rui's personality.
Knowing that he was not a person who liked to accept favors for nothing, Gao Gong was not angry at Hai Rui's behavior for not giving him face.
Because he knew very well that Hai Rui was such a person, and there was no point in getting angry with him over such a trivial matter.
Besides, the two of them didn't have much interaction, so Gao Gong didn't take Hai Rui's "sense of distance" to heart at all.
Gao Gong took a piece of the good pickles he ordered, drank another glass of wine, and then said to Hai Rui: "Ruxian, what do you think of the expansion of the capital?"
< br>When Hai Rui heard Gao Gong's question, he immediately became serious. Hai Rui said: "This matter is very difficult. Based on what I saw at the Ministry of Household Affairs, I estimate that this matter will most likely be abandoned halfway. In the end, we may only build an outer city wall, and there will be no money to continue.”
Hearing Hai Rui express his opinion so bluntly, Gao Gong couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Hai Rui.
You must know that this matter is a major event promoted by His Majesty the Emperor today. It is a major project to build a great cause for the ages.
Therefore, both the officials and the people in Beijing have great expectations for this matter, and no one dares to pour cold water on it so bluntly.
But now that Hai Rui said something like this, it can be seen that Hai Rui is not just a flatterer, he is a person who dares to tell the truth.
Gao Gong naturally admires this.
Gao Gong sighed at this time, "You are right, but now this matter has fallen on the prince's head. Therefore, I can't help but worry about this matter, and want to share the worries for the prince, but I can't I can’t do anything, I can only come to you for a drink and let go of my worries.”
