Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Let Zhu Yunhuan not spend so much money.

Once the arsenal's expenses are cut, if the arsenal fails to complete its mission, it will have nothing to do with Qin Shou. After all, it's not that Qin Shou can't do it, but that the court doesn't provide the materials.

"Alas, I don't want to say anything now. I just want to take a nap for more than ten hours."

After Zhu Yunhuan left, the people in the arsenal also dispersed one after another and went back to catch up on their sleep.

Zhu Yunhuan returned to the imperial study, as he still had memorials to review.

Although there was a cabinet, they could only approve memorials such as requests for respect.

For any memorials involving military or national affairs, they only had the right to make suggestions, and the final decision was still made by Zhu Yunhuan, so Zhu Yunhuan still had a lot of memorials to review every day.

But most of them just write the word "standard".

Because the cabinet's suggestions are all good and can be implemented directly.

……

In the imperial study room.

"I, the Minister of Revenue Wang Chunsan/I, the Right Vice Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji, pay my respects to Your Highness."

The two people who had been waiting in the imperial study saw Zhu Yunhuan coming back and hurriedly saluted.

Zhu Yunxun hummed, "My dear, please stand up."

The former Minister of Revenue Zhao Mian entered the cabinet, and the Left Vice Minister of Revenue Wang Chunsan became the Minister of Revenue, and the Right Vice Minister of Revenue was promoted to Left Vice Minister.

Xia Yuanji, who was the head of the Ministry of Revenue at the time, was also nominated by Zhu Yunhuan to be promoted to the right vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The two men stood up to express their gratitude.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Xia Yuanji curiously. At this moment, Xia Yuanji looked very young, about thirty years old. At least compared to Wang Chunsan standing next to him, Xia Yuanji was considered younger.

However, compared to this era, Xia Yuanji is old enough to call himself an old man, or even a grandfather.

This old Xia is very qualified to be the Minister of Revenue.

Let him gain some experience for a few years, and the future purse of the Ming Dynasty should be handed over to Old Xia.

"Do you know why I called you two here?"

Zhu Yunxi asked.

"We don't know." The two said in unison.

Wang Chunsan guessed that it might be because of the artillery, but he was not sure, so he said he didn't know.

Xia Yuanji came because he was only a right vice minister, and the left vice minister didn't come, so Xia Yuanji really didn't know why Zhu Yunhuan called him here.

"Haha, Minister Wang, how bad are the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue?"

These words frightened Wang Chunsan so much that his legs went limp and he immediately knelt down.

"I have just taken over the Ministry of Revenue, so I don't know."

Wang Chunsan tried to find an excuse to get away with it.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, "You were an assistant minister before, and now you have been promoted to a minister, but you have become even more confused. It seems that you are not suitable for this position. Next time you attend the morning court, write a letter of resignation and go home to retire."

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand and said, since this guy is pretending to be stupid, then let him go away.

If the new Left Vice Minister is promoted to Shangshu, Xia Laokou will be directly promoted to Left Vice Minister. The next time the Ministry of Revenue promotes, Xia Laokou will be directly promoted to Shangshu.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, please calm down. I know my crime. I know my crime."

Wang Chunsan kowtowed hastily. He had been in the officialdom for decades and had finally worked his way up to the position of Shangshu. He hadn’t even been in the position for two days and he was going to be removed?

That won't work.

In the future, shall history books record that I, the Minister of Revenue, was the Minister of Revenue with the shortest tenure in the Ming Dynasty?

How embarrassing that is.

"So, can you answer my question? I will give you one more chance. If your answer does not satisfy me, you can go back home." Zhu Yunhuan leaned on the dragon throne, tapping his fingers on the imperial desk from time to time.

This seemed to be a knock on Wang Chunsa's heart. Every time Zhu Yunhuan knocked, Wang Chunsa's heart became heavier.

"Your Highness, I am reporting this and exposing it! The former Minister of Revenue and current cabinet minister, Zhao Mian, has been corrupt, embezzled taxes, and abused his power for personal gain. Over the years, the amount he has embezzled has reached more than 1.3 million taels. He has also accepted bribes and embezzled disaster relief funds many times. He is an out-and-out corrupt official!"
