Chapter 63 Breaking the situation
"What does this mean? Are you targeting us?" People from the three departments, the Zhichao Office, the North Office, and the Guangxi Office, got entangled and found the clerk in the Ministry of Revenue who distributed the salaries.

"Why are you overthinking it? I'm not not giving it to you, and you're not allowed to make any mistakes. Don't say you're targeting me. You didn't get it, but the people behind you didn't get it either."

This move by the Ministry of Revenue is quite disgusting. It is in charge of the payment of officials' salaries, and everyone can see that this is targeted.

The money is not sent to these departments. Once it reaches them, all kinds of problems occur. If this isn't targeting us, then what is it?

Finally, someone revealed that this situation occurred because the Marquis of Shenwu and the Ministry of Revenue were not on good terms.

Of course, the Ministry of Revenue cannot keep withholding everyone's salaries forever, but there are ways to make you run a few more times and annoy you a little.

This is a strategy to win over the heart. If they can't get their salary, they will give some negative emotions to Shenwu Hou. It's all because they are implicated by you, so they definitely won't dare to say anything, but having this emotion is enough.

Not all officials have the same income as Shen Qingzhou. He and some other officials don’t care about their salaries, but many people do, and some people really live on it.

What's disgusting about this matter is that you have to deal with it yourself. You can't just bring it up at the court meeting because of such a small matter. Even if you do, the Ministry of Revenue has its reasons. It's not like they won't give it to you. You can't delay it for two days.

This matter spread very quickly among officials, and Emperor Qing was naturally aware of it. He certainly knew why. There was a big conflict between Fan Jian and Shen Qingzhou, and it seemed that reconciliation had failed.

The matter may not seem big, but if it is not handled well and it is embarrassing, the subordinates will become disloyal. Fan Jian is an old fox.

[Skill points: 66200]

Shen Qingzhou's skill points increased by another thousand. He came into contact with Teng Zijing's wife and son, and each of them gave him 500 skill points. Sometimes Shen Qingzhou was speechless. It would be more appropriate to call it experience points. Why is the myth called skill points?

I just returned to the city and received this news. I knew in my heart that a silent war had begun.

When he returned to the Privy Council, everyone saw that he was still as respectful as ever. No one went to him or the leader to deal with this matter. If they didn't, they would be foolish.

He knew what Fan Jian meant. He wanted to embarrass him. He thought too much. After thinking it over, he gave the instructions.

Three or four days had passed since the incident, and the Ministry of Revenue was puzzled. They asked why you didn't even say hello and what you wanted to do. As for the salary, naturally it was not paid.

There was also a court meeting, and Fan Jian was ready for Shen Qingzhou to complain, but unfortunately nothing happened. Emperor Qing even asked if Shen Qingzhou had any difficulties as he had just taken office, but Shen Qingzhou still didn't say this.

……

On this day, a convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages suddenly arrived outside Kyoto City. The people from the Kyoto Garrison Division who were guarding the city checked and let them proceed. However, their faces turned a little strange. If those who were escorting them were not from the Privy Council, they would have at least taken some of the treat.

As soon as we entered Kyoto, there were people waiting there, beating drums and gongs, and they came to the outside of the Privy Council with the motorcade.

"We're almost at the Six Gates, everyone, work harder." Someone in the horse team called out, and the beating of gongs and drums became louder.

People all love to watch the excitement, and the hustle and bustle in front of the Privy Council naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.

"The Privy Council is an important military location. Who is making a commotion here?" Someone from the Privy Council came out to find out what was going on.

"Sir, may I ask if this is the headquarters of the Six Gates?" A strong-looking middle-aged man asked with a bow. "What do you want to do?" The Six Gates are already very famous, another name for the Guangxi House, and also an important interactive unit of the Ministry of Personnel.

"We are from Guangyang Prefecture in Shazhou. We are the Six Gates, and we have cleared many bandit problems in Guangyang Prefecture. We don't know how to repay you.

We learned that the Ministry of Revenue is short of money and the salaries of the six gates cannot be paid. We, Guangyang Prefecture and its subordinate prefectures and counties, are grateful to the six gates for raising supplies. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is good to be able to buy a piece of clothing for the adults. This is the only way to express our gratitude." said the middle-aged man.

As soon as these words were spoken, those who were watching the excitement knew that things were going to get serious. The news that the Ministry of Revenue could not pay out silver had already reached the government office, and this was going to cause unrest. Even though everyone knew that this was an official struggle between the Ministry of Revenue and Marquis Shenwu, the meaning was already different.

Many colleagues in official circles were watching the fun, which was quite interesting. Then, the chief clerk came out to count the supplies.

It must be put into the warehouse. If it is sent directly into the warehouse, it is considered as bribery. However, if it is sent into the warehouse after statistics, it is a donation, which is not the same thing.

Of course, they still have to refuse and cannot accept it until the team members kneel down and make harsh words, saying they will not leave unless they accept it. This scene must be done well.

After a count, I was a little shocked. The silk, satin, gold and silver materials totaled nearly 120,000 taels.

This is 120,000 taels, which made the onlookers jealous.

"This is earned by the brothers below, we cannot let them down, distribute it according to their merits. Although everyone is not on the front line, they have also worked hard during this period. Thirty taels of silver per person is considered a welfare.

Although the Zhichao Room and the North Room do not belong to the Six Gates, they are all my brothers and have helped us a lot. I will give each of them fifteen taels of silver.

In addition, various meats, vegetables, and silks were purchased and distributed per person, with a quota of ten taels of silver per person.

In addition, my Six Gates uniforms, badges and weapons are of varying quality, so I plan to replace them as a whole, and store the remaining silver in the warehouse for him to use in the future. "Shen Qingzhou didn't even go out, and directly gave instructions.

This money, of course, was not raised by the people below. It was all earned from suppressing bandits and robbers in various places. It was directly deposited into the treasury under this name, which was quite good.

Send it directly to the Six Gates and say it is seized, so that the Ministry of Revenue will have a reason to intervene, and the seized money can be put into the national treasury, but this is only part of it.

The number of first-line constables outside has now increased to one hundred, and the three branches of the Privy Council have less than five hundred people at the headquarters. The things Shen Qingzhou mentioned can be done with twenty taels of silver. This is the purchasing power of silver.

"The Marquis has ordered that the Six Gates, the north side, the subordinates can go to the chief clerk to collect their subsidies."

When Shen Qingzhou's order was passed down and everyone knew what the benefits were, they were extremely grateful to Shen Qingzhou, who was so generous.

Silver still has a lot of purchasing power. Teng Zijing's monthly salary of fifty taels of silver made Fan Sizhe and Wang Qinian extremely envious.

Everyone's salary is a few taels, some are high, and some are only a few. After all, it is the Privy Council in Kyoto, and it is considered a high income. Several years' salary are paid at once, so who wouldn't be happy? This is the world of ordinary people.

They even customized new clothes for him. If this is not a good leader, then what is a good leader? People from other departments who knew about this were so angry that they just regretted that they were not from these departments.

Shen Qingzhou has defeated Fan Jian's enemy. Now, there are rumors that the Ministry of Revenue cannot afford to pay silver. You can deal with the chaos caused by this yourself.

(I beg for votes for next month, recommendation tickets, and follow-up reading. Don’t support it anymore, it’s easy to kill it)
