Chapter 341: Fang Chen, a newcomer to the Ministry of Households, reports
It was a little dawn, and the crowing of roosters woke Li Fangchen from his sleep, and he was in a free state.
Xuan Yi arranged for the maid to change his clothes and wash his face, and the chef in the mansion delivered a breakfast.
White rice porridge, accompanied by a small plate of pickles, was enjoyable.
He poured his mouth into his stomach in three or two, and couldn't help but burp.
Delicacies of mountains and seas, and delicious foods?
Men only love carrots and cabbage!
After sorting out his clothes and seeing no inappropriateness, he got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.
He is wearing a python robe and does not wear official uniforms.
Although Li Shimin arranged for him the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the official robe was a bit inappropriate.
Anyway, he is also a first-class King of Qin, who dares to underestimate it?
When he entered the court, this time he did not stand in the ranking of military generals, but instead entered the civil servants' team.
"Your Highness, you should go ahead, why should you be here..."
Seeing Li Fangchen standing in the team of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Gui, the Minister of Revenue, looked scary.
It was like a cat suddenly popping out of the pile of mice. Who would have accepted it?
"I am not your minister of the Ministry of Revenue, why can't I be here?" Li Fangchen's mouth was filled with a hint of playfulness.
Wang Gui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, looked melancholy and persuaded him, and finally even pushed Li Fangchen out of the queue.
Li Fangchen shook his head bored, walked forward, and finally stood beside the prince who was in the lead.
"It's so early, Prince!" As he spoke, he yawned.
Li Chengqian nodded and then bowed to the officials.
When Li Shimin entered the hall, all officials advised him, but the King of Qin stared at him, not knowing what to do.
Li Shimin's mouth twitched, holding back his anger, and deemed it nothing, without saying much.
When he was down, Li Fangchen was staggeringly preparing to leave and report to the Ministry of Revenue.
"Second brother, wait."
Li Chengqian's voice sounded behind him, and Li Fangchen stopped his pace.
"Second brother, for brother..."
Facing Li Chengqian's shouting at him was a little nervous and didn't know how to express it, Li Fangchen smiled and said, "Brother Prince, can you have your tongue knotted? Why can't you even say it?"
Li Chengqian's body stiffened and gave Li Fangchen a blank look. However, the tense atmosphere just now rarely eased.
There is no problem with telling a joke between the two brothers.
Pulling Li Fangchen to the side, Li Chengqian asked, "Second brother, are you planning..."
His eyes flashed. Just looking at his appearance, Li Fangchen guessed what he wanted to ask, waved his hand and said, "I said, Prince, if I want it, why wait until now? Don't you understand?"
"But the father..."
"The father is the father, I am me. If the father asks me to do it, I have to do it?"
His words were a little frivolous, but the King of Qin was originally this kind of personality.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I think you are more suitable than me."
Li Fangchen was a little angry, "What are you talking nonsense? Why is it more suitable than you?"
Li Chengqian felt a little guilty on his face, knowing that Li Fangchen comforted himself, and said with a wry smile: "I am not as good as you in literature and martial arts. You have always been giving in, so how could I not know that Brother Yu? Now my father is intent, Brother Yu knows that he is not worthy of doing things. He can also avoid the dispute between you and my brothers and me."
Li Fangchen's face was a little distorted, his expression was strange, and he felt an indescribable disgust.
"I said to Prince, did you take medicine before leaving the East Palace? Or did you hit your head when you returned to the East Palace last night?"
Li Chengqian obviously did not expect that Li Fangchen would react like this.
"Second brother, I..."
"If you have any questions, go and ask your father directly, and tell the old man for me, I won't do it if you give this position!"
Then he left Li Chengqian, who was obviously a little dull, and Li Fangchen left.
Li Chengqian looked around in a daze and didn't know what to say. Could it be that it was really his own villain's heart?
"Father...got to ask your father?"
Maybe my second brother is right, so I will ask directly if I have any questions.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel happy when I thought of my second brother calling my father the "old man" before leaving.
Nowadays, the father can indeed be called an old man, and he agreed with this title with a smirk.
Li Fangchen really wanted to go back to the mansion to sleep directly, but after having an official position, he had to do official duties.
Ministry of Revenue? Let’s go!
After a long journey, I went outside the Ministry of Revenue.
Many officials looked very busy when they came in and out. When they saw Li Fangchen coming here, they greeted him, "Your Highness of the King of Qin."
Li Fangchen nodded and signaled that he knew about it, and stepped into the Ministry of Revenue.
The first time I came here, I really didn’t see the “prosperity” of the Ministry of Revenue.
To put it bluntly, they are all old objects that have been disrepaired for many years, and the door head is several feet thick.
When he entered the main hall, the Ministry of Revenue officials were stunned and hurriedly bowed when he saw the King of Qin.
Li Fangchen waved his hand and said, "Dear colleagues, I hope to take care of you in the future."
"Your Highness is joking."
It sounds simple, but who dares not take the King of Qin seriously? He really treats him as a colleague, and is afraid he deserves to be chopped off the King of Qin.
"Your Highness, please come here!"
Wang Gui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, hurriedly walked up and greeted Li Fangchen to sit in the inner hall.
"Shangshu Wang, don't be polite between you and me. I wonder what I need to do?"
When you arrive at the Ministry of Revenue, you have to follow the rules of the Ministry of Revenue. Since you have been granted the title of Minister of the Secretariat, Li Fangchen must be a good Minister of the Secretariat.
Lazy? Don’t be in a hurry now. After he understands the office process of the Ministry of Revenue, there is still time for him to be lazy.
"Your Highness, please have tea." Wang Gui first poured a cup of tea for Li Fangchen, and then explained: "Your Majesty arranged you to the Ministry of Revenue. I'm afraid there is another meaning, so I wonder what your Highness has to do?"
Li Fangchen shook his head, "I will do whatever you do. Everyone is eating a bowl of rice now. Shangshu Wang, don't let this king become the target of public criticism."
"How can you do it? Your Highness wait, and the old minister will go back."
Wang Gui's mind was spinning rapidly. Is the King of Qin a big trouble?
Bah, whoever thinks this is a fool.
He dares to guarantee that the smartest person in the world is the prince in front of him. Those national discussions and national policies are all "immortal books" offered by others to learn!
Wang Gui even had a plan in his mind that as long as he cooperated with His Highness well, nothing would be a problem.
The confused look she showed before in front of the King of Qin seemed to be more like a cover-up, covering up the real thoughts in his heart.
The Ministry of Revenue controls money and determines household registration, and this is all meticulous work, so I dare not be careless at all.
Li Fangchen waited in the inner hall for a while, and saw Wang Gui walking towards him with a stack of books.
"Shangshu Wang, is this what this king wants to do?"
Looking at the book, Li Fangchen was obviously a little curious and didn't know what he was doing.
Wang Gui took a breath. When an older person does a little heavy work, he will be exhausted.
"Your Highness, this is the account book of the Ministry of Revenue in recent years. Each of the expenses is recorded. Please check it out."
Li Fangchen touched his chin, squinted his eyes and said, "Shangshu Wang, are you planning to drive me away in advance?"
Wang Gui pretended to be surprised and asked, "What is your intention?"
"Check out corruption? How many of these officials are clean? I'm afraid that if they check, half of them will lose their heads!"
Chapter completed!
