Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

Tobe

Yinzhen was discussing with the Minister of Revenue some financial expenses related to this foreign envoy. Thanks to the return of Prince Gong, which brought a batch of profits, the expenses for receiving the envoy this time were nothing to behold in terms of income.

The Minister of Revenue, who was originally feeling the pain of allocating funds to the Lifanyuan for use, suddenly felt relieved when he saw the boxes of gold, silver and treasures being stored in the warehouse.

There is gain after loss, and there is gain after loss. The ancients were not deceiving me!

Yinzhen saw the old bad habits of the Minister of Revenue and laughed in his heart.

He didn't know how to describe the mentality of the officials in the Ministry of Revenue. When the national treasury was not full in the past, they were stingy and felt bad about every financial expenditure, but now that the national treasury is full to the brim, why are they still so painful?

They can complain about a small amount of expenditure for several days. If you don't know, you might think that the treasury is out of money again.

This even caused Yinzhen, who was making a lot of money in the Ministry of Commerce, to come over and ask him several times whether some corrupt official had embezzled all the money, so there was no money in the Ministry of Revenue's account?

Otherwise, why would you feel so bad about spending a little money? !

As the head of the Ministry of Revenue, Yinzhen often had nothing to say about this.

Because he really didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Yinzhen and the others only expressed their confusion and curiosity a little, and did not really ask questions, which made Yinzhen, who was speechless, breathe a sigh of relief with difficulty.

However, this mentality of the people in the Ministry of Revenue is not without its benefits.

At the very least, they can calculate every necessary financial expenditure meticulously and accurately, down to every place of use, to ensure that nothing is missed and no extra money can be embezzled.

This group of guys treat the money from the national treasury as their own money. Anyone who dares to embezzle a penny will be dug up and cursed by them for eighteen generations.

This caused the other five ministries, except the Ministry of Commerce, to avoid them. Except when they asked for money, they would avoid dealing with them if possible.

They commented on the officials of the Ministry of Revenue: "A bunch of money-hungry misers!"

The Ministry of Commerce is about making money, while the Ministry of Revenue is about keeping the money!

The Ministry of War, which costs the most money, hates dealing with the Ministry of Revenue the most, because every time they ask for money, they have to face a lot of difficulties from the Ministry of Revenue. But they have to deal with it, otherwise they will have no money to build an army and weapons.

Fortunately, there was Prince Zhi in the Ministry of War and Prince Yong in the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of War was very smart and whenever money was needed, he would push the matter to Prince Zhi.

If the Ministry of Revenue allows Prince Yong to negotiate, that would be great, the two brothers can discuss it together and the matter will be settled.

At worst, even if the old Minister of Revenue himself takes action, he still cannot defeat Prince Zhi, or he dares not to go against this unruly Prince Zhi. After all, His Royal Highness Prince Zhi is a man who really dares to beat people.

In response to this, the Minister of War laughed, the Minister of Revenue was angry, and only the two princes were helpless.

Fortunately, they were dedicated to the public, otherwise, with Yinzhi and Yinzhen's personalities, they really couldn't stand their irritating and funny way of competing.

But to be honest, it doesn’t matter what method you use, as long as it works.

"Fourth brother." As soon as Yinxiang entered the Ministry of Revenue, he was led to Yinzhen's office by officials from the Ministry of Revenue.

He pushed the door open cautiously and saw his fourth brother checking accounts beside the bookshelf. He was the only one in the room.

"Thirteenth brother, why are you here?"

Putting down his writing brush, Yinzhen waved to Yinxiang, only to see that there was more than just Yinxiang. There was also Yinreng behind him. "Is my second brother here too?"

"Well, I was just kicked out of the Ministry of Rites by the third brother." Yinreng looked sad, as if he was heartbroken by Yinzhi's action of kicking him out of the Ministry of Rites.

Unfortunately, Yinzhen didn't accept his play and just said, "Second brother, have you made Third Brother angry again?"

"What are you talking about?!" Yinreng was immediately annoyed. He put his hands on his hips, pointed at Yinxiang and said, "It was obviously the Thirteenth Brother who made the Third Brother angry. I was dragged down by it!"

He would never admit that he was involved and put all the blame on Yinxiang.

Yinzhen was half-believing and half-doubting. Based on his understanding of his second brother, it was enough for him to just listen to half of the words.

Even if it was really the Thirteenth Brother who made the Third Brother angry, the Second Brother would definitely be behind to retaliate. He guaranteed it with the Second Brother's character!

"Fourth brother, let's not listen to his nonsense. It was obviously he who made Third brother angry first."

Yinxiang couldn't let this blame fall on his head, so he grabbed Yinzhen's sleeve with one hand and pointed at Yinreng with the other, and then returned the blame to him in the same way.

"Fourth brother, you don't know, as soon as the second brother finished speaking, the third brother was so angry that he told us to get out together."

Yinxiang vividly demonstrated to Yinzhen how the two of them were driven out of the Ministry of Rites by Yinzhi, which amazed Yinzhen.

"Second brother, Thirteenth brother, please be less angry with Third brother."

After all, the third brother is always busy. While he is busy all the time, he has to be irritated by his unscrupulous brothers. Just thinking about it, he feels a little sorry for the third brother.

"Ahem, fourth brother, I'm busy too." Upon hearing Yinzhen's words, Yinreng coughed quickly to indicate that he was also working hard.

Yinxiang looked up at him, then raised his hand and said, "Me too, Fourth Brother. You know I'm very busy!"

What could Yinzhen do? He could only rub Yinxiang's head and say to the brother, "Yes, I know. You have all worked hard."

Only the second brother and the thirteenth brother could take a break from their busy schedule to make the third brother angry.

Yinzhen shook his head in his heart and stopped talking about these meaningless things. Instead, he brought up serious matters and asked Yinxiang, "How is it, how did Khan Ama arrange for the envoys from the three countries?"

Hearing this, Yinxiang also became serious and said seriously: "Khan Ama will receive the envoys at the court tomorrow, and then arrange a banquet to entertain them. At that time, ministers above the fourth rank will be seated together."

"As for what happens next, Khan Ama is going to let my second and fifth brothers take full responsibility for the reception. Anything will be handled by the Lifanyuan."

Things like leading envoys from the Three Kingdoms to understand the Qing Dynasty were all the work of the Lifanyuan.

Their Khan Ama is only responsible for receiving the envoy tomorrow and doesn't want to take care of anything else.

"Tsk..." Yinreng sighed with disdain, "This is really Khan Ama's style of doing things."

Fortunately, he is no longer the crown prince, otherwise, there would be so many things he would have to do.

Yinreng was extremely grateful. Although he was now also responsible for entertaining the envoys, it was not a task he alone had to perform, so it was still easy.

Unlike my Thirteenth Brother, hiss, the days ahead will be predictably busy.
