Chapter 31 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
Chapter 31 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably misunderstand Lao Si's intention and mistakenly think that he was asked to make money.
Yinyou is definitely not an ordinary person!
Yinyou was well aware of how cruel and ruthless the fourth brother's methods of fighting corruption were.
"Fourth brother, I will follow your arrangements. However, I am new here and I am completely clueless. I must have someone who is familiar with the Ministry of Revenue by my side." Yinyu paused deliberately before continuing, "Fourth brother, why don't you lend me Su Peisheng for a while?"
Su Peisheng was an indispensable and trusted eunuch to the Fourth Prince. How could he be easily lent to Yinyou to serve him?
As expected, the fourth brother pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "To be honest with you, my fifteenth brother, I still have great use for this piece of shit Su Peisheng. How about this, I send his godson Xiao Shunzi to you and let you use him as you please?"
make a deal!
Yinyou had already expected that it must be Su Peisheng's apprentice or godson who was sent to his side, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
Hehe, I am an upright little brother. An honest man will not do shady things and I have no hidden agenda.
Given the fourth brother's personality, once he trusted Yinyou, he would be able to fully trust him.
Well, even if Yinyou could not become the executive vice emperor in the future, he would at least be an important minister in charge of general affairs or a minister of military affairs.
Among the six ministries of the imperial court, except for the Ministry of Revenue, the other five ministries only had four Qingli Si.
The only difference is that the Ministry of Revenue not only occupies a vast area, but also has a large number of people. The most shocking thing is that under the Ministry of Revenue, there are 14 Qingli Si.
In order to determine the exclusive office, Xiao Shunzi took Yinyou for a stroll among the offices of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Fifteenth Master, most of the space in the Ministry of Revenue is now occupied. However, there is a long row of empty rooms on the left side of the back door of the office. You can occupy as many rooms as you want." Xiao Shunzi made the suggestion cautiously while secretly peeking at Yinyou's expression.
Yinyou blinked and glanced at Xiao Shunzi casually, thinking to himself, this kid has learned a lot of bad things from Su Peisheng.
The assistant brother does not stay with the brother in charge, but instead tries to seize the territory of the servants. How can he have a good reputation?
"Xiao Shunzi, just take me to the private room. I just can't believe that there is no place for me in such a big private room." Yinyu did not blame Xiao Shunzi at all, but Xiao Shunzi's head was about to fall into his crotch.
As the saying goes, a powerful servant bullies his master, and a powerful master bullies his servant.
Whether they were big eunuchs or small eunuchs, the common point was that their testicles were cut off.
Therefore, this group of androgynous guys are somewhat abnormal and neurotic.
Xiao Shunzi deliberately tried to lead Yinyu to the back room, obviously wanting to use Yinyu to settle his personal grudge.
As for Yinyou, he calmly resolved Xiao Shunzi's plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
The first round of the fight ended with Xiao Shunzi's complete defeat.
After weighing the importance of Yinyou, Xiao Shunzi no longer dared to speak or move recklessly and became particularly well-behaved and honest.
After walking around the courtyard of the Ministry of Revenue's archives clearance room for a full circle, Yinyou chose a storage room that was not facing west and used it as his office in the Ministry of Revenue.
Since the fourth prince arranged for Yinyou to be in charge of the Clearing Archives Room, Yinyou simply worked in the courtyard of the Clearing Archives Room.
This place is neither conspicuous nor visible, and is only a stone's throw away from the back door of the Ministry of Households.
If Yinyou wanted to sneak out of the Ministry of Revenue, he only had to go out of the courtyard gate and turn left, which would be the back door of the Ministry of Revenue. It was extremely convenient.
However, Yinyu never dreamed that the number of officials and clerks in the unknown archives room of the Ministry of Revenue, not counting the menial work, actually exceeded a hundred. According to the system, the archives room of the Ministry of Revenue was divided into the South Archives Room and the North Archives Room. Among them, the chief officers of the South Archives Room were two Tangzhushi, both of whom were Manchus, who were in charge of the archives of the Ministry of Revenue and the archives of the eight banners. The North Archives Room had four leaders, two Manchus and two Hans, who were responsible for managing and distributing the salaries reported to the capital by various provinces, and counting the annual expenditures and revenues of various provinces.
The chief officials of the Qing Dynasty were all of the sixth rank. However, the word "tang" was added before the title of chief official, which meant that he was the chief official of the department.
Looking at the sea of colorful hats in the courtyard, Yinwei couldn't help but think of eight words: redundant officials and staff are rampant.
However, the court doesn't cost Yinyou a penny to support these idle people, so what does it have to do with him?
Even though Yinyou was an unknown prince before, a prince is a prince, and their identities and status are very different.
Yinyu glanced at everyone, coughed lightly, and said calmly: "Since Fourth Brother values you, you will be under my management from now on. Do you understand?"
"We will follow the instructions of the Fifteenth Master." Everyone answered in unison.
Yinyu nodded slightly, and then continued: "From now on, all official documents in the archives room, whether they are put into the archives or taken out of the archives, must be approved by the master. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Everyone nodded or bowed, and agreed in unison.
Yinyu got the authority he wanted, and then waved his hand and said, "Go and do your work. When you have something to do, come back and find me!"
"Yeah." No one dared to openly oppose Yinwei's opinion. After everyone bowed, they retreated in a hurry.
In the Qing Dynasty's officialdom, the most important power of the top leader was the right to sign and approve personnel, finances and property.
The Ministry of Revenue's file clearing office doesn't manage money or people, it only manages files.
Since the fourth brother arranged Yinyou to be in charge of the archives of the Ministry of Revenue, Yinyou must manage the export and import of each file carefully and responsibly.
It is easier to get things done when your status is high.
There is strength in numbers.
Yinyou's office was soon clean and bright, and he could work comfortably.
Under the guidance of Xiao Shunzi, Yinyou walked into the office.
An hour ago, when this was still a storage room, Yinyou had not realized that by opening the back window, he could directly see the back door of the Ministry of Revenue.
Seeing that Yinyu was in a good mood, Xiao Shunzi plucked up his courage, bent down, and whispered: "Fifteenth Master, please forgive me for being so timid. I placed two pots of flowers in the corner without permission. If you find them an eyesore, I will order them to be moved out."
Yinyu couldn't help but smile slightly, patting his folding fan with one hand, and said casually: "You, a dog talent, have some good eyesight. Come on, give him a reward."
"It would be disrespectful not to take the reward from my master." The young eunuch Wu Lin quickly took out a two-liang silver ingot from his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Shunzi's hand.
"I bow to thank Master Fifteen for the generous reward." Xiao Shunzi cleverly raised the reward money above his head with both hands and kowtowed three times.
"Get up." Yinyou waved his hand with a smile. Xiao Shunzi tactfully took three steps back before turning around and leaving the office.
When he came to the Ministry of Revenue to take office this time, Yinyou only brought four people, namely, Yuzhu and Li Ding, two haha beads, and the personal eunuchs Wulin and Xiaojinzi.
Yinyu was not favored in the palace. Therefore, Wulin and Xiaojinzi were also unlucky, and they were both powerless and invisible eunuchs.
However, after leaving the palace, no one knew the details of Wulin and Xiaojinzi, so they had ample room to abuse their power.
In the capital these days, there are many nobles and dignitaries, but who dares to offend those who are qualified to order eunuchs around?
