11days ago traverse Novels 7
The Ministry of Works is very lively today

Officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and Dali Temple gathered together and re-examined all the power tools in front of the officials of the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Works officials looked at the inspection results and pursed their lips, all of which were unbelievable.

Compared with the standard power instruments stipulated by the court, the power instruments of the Ministry of Works are light and heavy. If it were not serious for the craftsmen who made the power instruments, some people would have tampered with it.

The possibility of the former is almost negligible. Even if the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works are not serious, they will never make such big mistakes. What's more, after each power device is polished, it will have to go through layers of inspections. Unless someone bribes the inspectors of each level, such non-compliant power device will never be sent out for use.

Therefore, the craftsmen responsible for making power tools and all the inspectors were taken down by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple.

The production of power tools is in charge of the Ministry of Works, and the inspectors are also officials of the Ministry of Works. This time, the Ministry of Works, from doctors and craftsmen, were almost beaten up in one go.

As for Mr. Cui, the court has issued an edict to summon him back to Beijing.

When the Minister of Works heard the news, he rushed from home. The doctor of the Ministry of Works, the Yuanwailang, three chief officials, five Zhanggu, Shulingshi, and more than ten craftsmen were lined up by officials to be held out of the Ministry of Works.

The Minister of Works looked at this scene and was shocked: What's going on?

The doctor of the military farm pursed his dry lips, walked forward, and said: There was a problem with the power equipment made by the Ministry of Works. His Majesty ordered a strict investigation. All the colleagues of the Ministry of Works were taken away, and the court also issued an order to recall Mr. Cui...

Power! When the Minister of Works heard these two words, he understood the seriousness of the matter.

The power tools built by the Ministry of Industry are not for use by the Ministry of Industry, but are transported to salt fields, mines, and other places where measurement is required.

There is a problem with the authority of the Ministry of Works, and what is involved is the entire Chen State!

Tang Ning had met the Minister of Works in the Imperial Study room before. He walked up and bowed and said: Is Lord Shangshu's condition better?

The Minister of Works looked at him, and the next moment he held his head and said: The doctor said he would have to recuperate for a few months before he could recover. During this period, the Ministry of Works will trouble Lord Tang.

This is my duty. Tang Ning smiled and said: Don’t worry, Lord Shangshu, the Ministry of Works will hand it over to me.

The Minister of Works looked at him and pursed his lips.

Don't worry, how can he be relieved, how dare he be relieved?

He has only been in the Ministry of Works for a few days, and only three departments are left in the fourth department of the Ministry of Works. In the past few months since he left, his Ministry of Works has not yet known what it will be like.

Although he was a little angry, he didn't want to stay in the Ministry of Works anymore. The mess that Broom Star himself made should be left to Broom Star to clean up by himself.

Even he will feel a headache if he is involved in these things

After the Minister of Works hurriedly left, Tang Ning also left the Ministry of Works and went to the Ministry of Revenue.

These powers are from the Ministry of Works, and Mr. Cui of the Ministry of Works will bear the main responsibility. When he is recalled to Beijing, someone will be asked for guilt.

However, the problems of salt farms and mines need to be investigated from the Ministry of Revenue. Major salt merchants need to register with the Ministry of Revenue to be qualified to sell

As soon as he walked into the Ministry of Revenue, Qian Shuo, the Minister of Revenue, greeted him and said with a smile: I have prepared all the things Mr. Tang wants for you.

Qian Shangshu seemed very active, Tang Ning could understand that this incident involved not only the Ministry of Works, but most of the salt merchants in Chen State were dragged into the water.

Once their crime is found, they will not only spit out all the food they have eaten over the years, but also pay a fine of several times. People with poor family backgrounds will probably lose their money.

The fine of silver this time is different from Jiangnan. It was carried out openly. All the silver collected must be handed over to the national treasury. If Emperor Chen wants to have some shame, he will be embarrassed to tamper with it.

Tang Ning handed over the materials provided by the Ministry of Revenue to Dali Temple. As soon as he returned to the Ministry of Works, an eunuch sent a letter and his Majesty summoned him.

He walked into the imperial study room, and the Dali Temple Minister was reporting to Chen Huang.

Your Majesty, including the doctor of the Ministry of Works, the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, have admitted the fact that the power is forged, and have confessed that Cui Min, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, embezzled the imperial court and colluded with salt merchants in various places...

The physical evidence is right in front of you, and the officials of the Ministry of Works Department are useless to quibble. Dali Temple asked them all to recruit in a very short time.

What we need to do next is to summon the Minister of Works to return to Beijing to investigate the crimes and conduct detailed investigations on salt merchants from all over the country. Those who can pay the fine silver will be paid, and those who cannot pay the fine silver will be searched. The court will never be kind in such matters.

Emperor Chen looked at him and said in a deep voice: This case was jointly handled by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate. Anyone involved in the case, no matter who is, will be punished according to the law!

The Minister of Dali Temple, Minister of Justice, and Censor of the Censorate at the same time claimed that it was

Emperor Chen waved his hand and said: OK, you guys go down, Tang Ning stayed

After the three of them left, Tang Ning walked forward, bowed his hand, and said: I wonder what is important to call your Majesty into the palace?

Emperor Chen stood up, looked at him, and asked with some anticipation: How much money can the court confiscate this time?

Tang Ning really didn't know this, shook his head and said: Go back to Your Majesty, I can't estimate it. The Ministry of Revenue has already investigated this matter, and the result should be released soon.

Although he could not estimate the specific number, if Emperor Chen wanted to use this money to support his 100,000 cavalry, he would be dreaming in the daytime if he wanted to use this money to support his 100,000 cavalry.

The amount of silver recovered by the imperial court this time will not be small, but compared with Runzhou's, it is naturally not worth mentioning.

After all, Tang Ning brought back from Jiangnan half of the richest prefecture of Chen State, and earned more than Chen State's decades of salt and iron franchise. Even if the fine of silver is added, it will not exceed 10 million taels.

Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning as if he was looking at a money tree

In fact, Tang Ning is his money tree. Whenever he is short of money, he will give him a large sum of silver. Looking around, there is only such a caring minister in the court.

Thinking of something, he looked at Tang Ning again and coughed lightly: If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you come to me to report it first...

Tang Ning looked up at Emperor Chen, who was not blushing and breathing, and bowed: I obey the order...

In addition... Emperor Chen thought about it, his face darkened, and said: What is involved in this case must be not one person or two. You can go and investigate it yourself, assist the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate. Don’t let a fish that misses the net!

……

Kangwang Mansion

King Kang looked pale and was walking in the hall with an anxious look

Soon, a man walked in quickly from outside and Jiaosheng said: Your Highness, I've found out clearly...

King Kang looked at him suddenly and asked: How is it?

That man said: All the officials of the Ministry of Works Department have been arrested. The court has sent people to arrest the Minister of Works Department and returned to Beijing to question the crime. His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate to thoroughly investigate the case...

Kang Wang shook his body and finally held the table.

He looked fierce and gritted his teeth and said: The Ministry of Works has not been foolproof, how could there be any omissions? Who would have no problem checking the power equipment...

The man thought for a while, looked at King Kang and said: Your Highness, Tang Ning was provoking this matter. Did he know that the Minister of Works was His Highness's person, so he deliberately...

King Kang said angrily: This king has no grudges and no grudges with him...

The man looked up at King Kang and said: Your Highness, you hit his ship a few days ago...

King Kang looked at him in a daze and asked: Is it because of this?
