Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, who were so proud, finally got the final shot this time. Not only did they not interfere with the internal affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, they were attacked by Han Yi. This is really not worth the effort!

Because they have just taken office, and the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of the Secretariat are both formal prime ministers and have their own staff teams, which are their own fixed office residences. Because the official prime ministers are qualified to open a government office, they are not qualified to be the same as the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of the Central Secretariat have no such qualifications, but the money must be paid by the court. In the past, the welfare of the official office must be more generous, and the people below will submit to you. This time, they have just taken office, and the Ministry of Revenue will reduce their expenses. Isn’t that intentionally slap them in the face?

This is the balance effect brought by this current system. Although you control the three provinces, the six ministries are no longer under their control, and they will be incomparable to Changsun Wuji. When Changsun Wuji was in power, the three provinces and six ministries were all his people from top to bottom. He could do whatever he wanted. This is the real power in the court and the opposition.

Although Xu Jingzong defeated Changsun Wuji in Li Yi Mansion, they were far inferior to Changsun Wuji.

After a while, the two followed Li Zhi away from the Ministry of Revenue in shame.

As soon as they left, Zhang Daxiang looked at Han Yi with admiration and said, "What Mr. Han said just now is really wonderful. Now, the only one in the court and the country dares to speak to Li Yi's Mansion and Xu Jingzong like this."

"If this person doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone. If you dare to offend me, even if you are old, you will be punished!" Han Yi raised his lips and said, "Mr. Zhang, we should give them some color to see so that they can understand that our Ministry of Revenue is not easy to bully."

Zhang Daxiang was slightly stunned and sweated a little, saying, "Does Mr. Han really plan to reduce the expenses of various government agencies in a comprehensive manner?"

Han Yi said: "Of course, I have been preparing for this, and this expenditure must be reduced to the point where they have troubles."

This was filed long ago, but it was not made public. Han Yi was secretly preparing.

Since Han Yi took charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he has always planned to reduce the expenses of the official office because he knew that no one would cherish the things from the court, because it was not his own. He would definitely take as much as he had. He would rather hold on to the expenses if he couldn't eat. Then the Ministry of Revenue was the Ministry of Revenue. When the finances were good, you would all ask for them to die, but if the finances were bad, who would want them to fill them in? Isn't the money in the Ming Dynasty in the hands of bureaucrats? When the war was fought, the treasury was out of money and officials refused to donate money. As a result, they snatched all of them to Li Zicheng. At that time, the emperor would definitely blame the Ministry of Revenue, not others, and you would take everything from the court. Who would you give to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the Han Yi store?

Therefore, Han Yi did not intend to reduce the welfare of officials from beginning to end. I would give you enough money. If you want, you should buy it with the money in the market, because the official class is still the richest, and the market has to be supported by them.

Zhang Daxiang said worriedly: "Actually, we can just target Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong a little, and there is no need to offend all the ministers."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, this money is in our hands. Who are we afraid of? Only they come to ask for our share. If anyone is not convinced, I will dare to owe them their salary and deduct their welfare. Xu Jingzong of Li Yi Mansion really reminded me that there is no reason to just let them show off their might. I will be depressed and I have to show the prestige of this prime minister. So, do you understand?"

"I don't understand very much!" Zhang Daxiang shook her head.

Han Yi sighed: "It's just the disciples, the expenses of the two ministers of the Central Committee will be deducted by me half first."

"Half deduction?"

Zhang Daxiang immediately took a deep breath of air conditioning. You are a little too cruel.

Han Yi said: "Or what? These two bastards actually came to me. I don't give them a little color. They don't know why the flowers are so red. Anyway, except for the military, all expenses from the other government offices must be handled according to our rules. As for the military, you can add a little more benefits to express your opinion."

Zhang Daxiang was confused again and said, "Why is this?"

Han Yi said with a tsk and said, "We have money, but they have swords. This is the only weakness of our Ministry of Revenue. Don't be serious about those reckless men. If you want to make them angry, we will suffer the loss. But those ministers don't have to be afraid. What else can they do except shouting a few words? Besides, in this way, the military will definitely support us, that's fine."

Zhang Daxiang pondered slightly and said with a smile: "I understand!"

Han Yi is not stupid and offended everyone. As of now, the military is still very stable, but the court is quite chaotic. The only thing Han Yi can do is not give money. If you bribe each other, I don’t have to worry about the money of the treasury.

However, this empty talk is unfounded. Han Yi organized all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue on the same day and began counting. He asked to implement a new expenditure plan from this summer, because spring is the season for the Ministry of Revenue expenditure, but this year Han Yi has been delaying it. Obviously, he was very careful at the beginning, but he was afraid of arousing a lot of opposition. After all, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. But now seeing that Xu Jingzong is so arrogant in Li Yi's mansion, he should be arrogant. Everyone is a hero who deposed Wang Liwu, so why can they be arrogant?

But how could Xu Jingzong give up in Li Yifu and immediately spread the news, hoping to use the power of his ministers to put pressure on the emperor.

Anyway, Han Yi is planning to completely reduce the expenses of our official office, and everyone has to live a poor life.

When all the officials heard this news, they were shocked and mobilized one after another. They had to fight to the end. In fact, Han Yi did not reduce the welfare of officials, but reduced the expenses of the official office. However, these officials were not ordinary people, they were all from veteran drivers. They knew that if Han Yi was not stopped today, they would reduce their salary in the future.

But at the same time, Han Yi also formally submitted a report to the emperor, demanding that government spending be reduced in order to accumulate financial resources and prepare for future major events.

What "big event"? Although Han Yi did not explain it, Li Zhi knew very well, that was the expedition to Goguryeo and the construction of the college. In addition to some **, Li Zhi had no hobbies and was relatively thrifty. The money Li Zhi used the most was probably the gold, silver and jewelry given to the queen. Moreover, Li Shimin's extravagance in his later years caused some turmoil in the country, which also left a deep impact on him. What's more important is that his average personal consumption was less than that of the ministers. How could this work be directly criticized.

After obtaining Li Zhi's approval, Han Yi's actions were also very rapid, because once this matter began, it must be implemented immediately. As long as it was delayed, it would definitely not be implemented. He directly issued a notice in the imperial city to establish a new fiscal expenditure system and spend in quarterly manner. This was what he had prepared long ago, and had calculated a rough calculation and formulated a statistical equation. The people below just need to calculate it according to this equation. It doesn't take long.

But Han Yi couldn't say anything about reducing expenses, which was too dazzling. He still held the flag of fairness and no longer budgeted expenses based on the level of the official office, but the amount of official duties. In the past, the consumption of the three provinces was definitely inexhaustible. After all, the prime minister was on duty there, and the Ministry of Revenue was controlled by them, and the three provinces definitely got the most. But now it is not. For example, the Ministry of Rites is busy with the big exams, so the expenditure of the Ministry of Rites will increase the expenditure of the Ministry of Rites. If you want to fight, the expenditure of the Ministry of War will increase the expenditure of the Ministry of War. No matter how small the official office is, as long as your official duties are heavy this quarter, the Ministry of Revenue will increase your expenditure.

Moreover, since Li Shimin, officials have lunch benefits. This lunch did not originally have it because Li Shimin is diligent in government affairs. Sometimes when talking about business affairs for a whole day, the officials are hungry and set up a canteen, which gradually becomes the welfare of the officials. But once it becomes a welfare, it must be determined according to the official rank. For high-ranking officials above the third, the food is naturally very good, and it can only increase, not decrease. However, Han Yi requires a reform and a unified meal, no special treatment is given, and only to ensure the nutrition of the officials and not let you be hungry. Just like a training camp, what elbows and chicken legs do you want to eat, you go home to eat.

Of course, you can choose not to eat it.

In addition, the benefits of the imperial guards are only small favors. What kind of cold-proof things must be able to fill the body and warm up, and the specifications are formulated, the weight is heavy and thick, and the food is also improved to a certain extent.

There are also various statistical data as the basis for the reform, and we must convince people with data.

After the news was announced, the opposition immediately decreased. First of all, due to the reform of Li Zhi's system, the prime ministers were idle, so why did the expenses of the three provinces be so much higher than ours? Of course, it has to be calculated according to actual needs. In fact, the three provinces and six ministries have reduced their expenses, but at least this is fair and reasonable. Because the three provinces are nothing more than writing memorials, proofreading public orders, and writing chapters. The real implementation department lies in the six departments, and the consumption of the six departments should be higher than that of the three provinces.

Secondly, officials under the fifth are reluctant to make trouble, because they did not reduce their welfare, but increased it. For example, if you, a minor official, can't reap anything, you will be able to reap anything, and you will be rewarded by the prime minister. In addition, the small official office also agrees very much, because they got so much in the past, but now it is different. As long as they are busy with official duties, the Ministry of Revenue will increase their budget for them, and they will benefit.

Not to mention the military, it is absolutely supported. Their welfare is the only one that has not decreased but has increased.

The most hurt was Menxia Province and the Secretariat. They basically returned to the difficult years in the early Zhenguan period. All the benefits brought by the government office were castrated or even cancelled. Even tea powder was unified with the five officials.

Li Ji, Lu Chengqing, Xu Shi and others understood it. Han Yi mainly ignored it. Since this is the case, he was not involved in the struggle between them.

In Li Yi Mansion, Xu Jingzong was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but they could not incite all military officials. At least the military officials supported Han Yi. Han Yi clearly used the welfare of the officials to subsidize the military, and Li Zhi had already issued an order. Xu Jingzong, Li Yi Mansion could only go to Wu Meiniang to complain. Han Yi was obviously messing with us. After all, it turned out that the Junxia Province and the Secretariat were severely affected areas. This was too incompatible with the hierarchy system of feudal society. Aren’t they all messing around?

"Empress! This money is a small matter, but the face is great. As soon as we took office, Han Yi reduced the expenses of the Ministry of Education and the Secretariat. Isn't this bullying? Where can the old minister put his face?" Xu Jingzong couldn't help but tear his tears and snot at Wu Meiniang.

"I've heard of this." Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "But it seems that you are going to provoke Han Yi first."

"us--!"

Wu Meiniang waved her hand, interrupted them, and said, "You don't need to make excuses. Your Majesty and I are not blind, so how could you not see your intentions? But you don't think about it. If Han Yi's two younger brothers had broken the farmer's crops, would you give up as easily as Han Yi? And do you know that even so, Your Majesty and I would still talk to Han Yi well."

In Li Yi's Mansion, Xu Jingzong looked at each other.

Wu Meiniang said, "Your Majesty just wants to give this bowl of water. Since you are the ones you provoked, you can't blame Han Yi for counterattacking. You can't just care about your own face. Where will Han Yi put Han Yi's face? And this matter is not all aimed at you. Han Yi can immediately announce these news in one or two days. Obviously, the Ministry of Revenue has already registered. But you just happened to run into it and gave Han Yi a reason to take advantage of the issue. It's useless for you to talk too much about this. In fact, I haven't spoken for you, but Your Majesty is determined to help Han Yi decide this time, and I can't do anything about it. I can only advise you not to provoke Han Yi again, just like Han Yi never provokes you on his own initiative."

This is very clear!

It is better for you to not violate the river water. Anyway, if anyone is provoking trouble first, then the emperor will definitely help the other party, no matter who is right or wrong.

This is actually nothing to do.
