Hearing Hai Zhang bluntly said that he earned money by repairing the palace. Gamintu couldn't help but secretly worry about him. Zhenwu was a master who liked to visit privately than Kangxi. He had some understanding of all industries and industries in the capital, and was well versed in the economics. He was the most likely to make money. How could he not know?

Opening a pawn shop and a timber farm in the capital is not something that can be obtained by tens of thousands of taels of silver. At least hundreds of thousands of yuan can be earned by repairing the palace! How would Zhenwu react?

Zhenwu originally heard some gossips, knowing that the Office of the Internal Affairs is making money quickly, but he didn't expect that the Office of the Internal Affairs is so easy to make money. In recent years, the national treasury has been abundant, and Kangxi has invested more and more in the Forbidden City, Changchun Garden, and the Summer Resort. Unexpectedly, he actually fattened up the servants of the Internal Affairs Office. It seems that the contractors are indeed profitable, both ancient and modern.

However, when he thought of his recent investment in Changchun Garden and the Summer Resort, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel annoyed. He originally wanted to hit the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make them restrain themselves. Now it seems that he has to make a lot of effort to rectify.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Hai Zhang who was lying on the ground, pondered for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it buying low and selling high? Is it asking for bribes? Or is it directly embezzlement? Or is it both?"

"Go back to the emperor." Hai Zhang kowtowed: "Slaves dare not be greedy for bribes, they just follow the rules and take a copy they deserve."

That is to buy low and sell high, or even sell it to yourself at a high price? In other words, if you don’t have greed, you can get such a rich reward! Zhenwu’s face became even more gloomy. After a while, he said lightly: “The reputation of the Qing royal family cannot be ruined like this, and my treasury cannot be embezzled by you, and I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to correct and investigate it myself, and those who are lucky enough to pay for their own profits will not be spared easily. If I wait for me to find out, I will deal with it.”

This means to take the initiative to return the stolen goods and not pursue them. Hai Zhang couldn't help but feel secretly happy. The heart he had mentioned was finally put back into his stomach. It seemed that this was a bet right, and he handed over unjust profits, self-correction and self-inspection. This is a good opportunity for him, the new chief executive, to establish his authority. He hurriedly said, "Slave follows the order."

Zhenwu nodded slightly. The Office of the Internal Affairs is difficult to sort out, it is impossible to do if it is light. This greed cannot be stopped, and it is not possible if it is heavy. If the Office of the Internal Affairs is clear, there will be no fish. If the Office of the Internal Affairs is really clean, the efficiency of the service will definitely be greatly reduced. This is something he can't bear. It seems that a complete supervision system must be established for the Office of the Internal Affairs. Otherwise, no matter how the rectification is done, it will only be a symptom.

In addition, the authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be gradually reduced and gradually differentiated, especially some affiliated yamen must be gradually separated, so as to avoid the situation of being too big to lose in the future. Some of them are ways to make money and there is no need to compete for profit with the country. However, this matter must be taken slowly, and it is not urgent to correct and check it yourself, just to get the wind first.

After pondering for a while, Zhenwu said, "Now the Qing Dynasty is accelerating its overseas expansion. Don't limit your vision to the country. The three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must also vigorously cultivate talents from all walks of life and be able to keep up with my expansion. The salt administration controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Quotas will be withdrawn and handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. The royal family shall not compete with the country for profit."

The salt administration, the income from Queguan is not a sum. After hearing this, Hai Zhang was stunned. He looked up at Zhenwu, and then hesitated: "Emperor, now the silver is like flowing water. I beg you to pray that the emperor will postpone it to the Ministry of Revenue for two years."

"No need." Zhenwu said without hesitation: "It will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue before the end of this year. My income from the treasury will gradually shift overseas in the future." After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice: "The Office of the Internal Affairs is to manage my money. Don't let the Office of the Internal Affairs become a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. You have served as the Department of the Construction Department of the Internal Affairs, Accounting Department, and Guangchu Department. Don't let people say that I don't know what I know."

After hearing this, Hai Zhang did not dare to say anything, so he hurriedly kowtowed: "Sister must do his best to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Gamintu was secretly delighted when he listened to the audit. The salt administration controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the collection of the quota is not a small amount every year. It seems that the life of the Ministry of Revenue is getting better and better.

Zhenwu glanced at the two of them, but changed the topic, "The women sent by Japan have not been trained yet?"

When Zhenwu mentioned this, Hai Zhang was stunned for a moment. The princesses and Ji who were sent to marry in Japan were not willing to enter Zhenwu into the palace. Safety risks were one aspect, but the main thing was that they were worried about sharing favors. There were only one emperor. How many women in the palace would not get a chance to be favored for life? Who would be willing to recruit those foreign women into the palace?

However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was scolded just now, so he dared not give advice. After pondering a little, he said: "Back to the emperor, women from foreign countries have no knowledge of the etiquette in the palace. In addition, they have poor language and slow teaching. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

This is the truth. Zhenwu nodded slightly before saying: "The storage of women from the royal family of the vassal state is related to the relationship between the clan and vassal states. After finding someone to plan, we will build another garden near Changchun Garden to build palaces in the style of each vassal state. Women from each vassal state will wear their national costumes."

God, how much money does it cost? Gamintu was shocked. However, with Zhenwu's usual style, the Ministry of Revenue would not have allowed the Ministry of Revenue to pay the money. He couldn't help but feel relieved. Hai Zhang was happy. The Ministry of Internal Affairs liked all kinds of projects the most. The oil and water of this garden were more profitable than repairing palaces and tombs. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Slave obeyed the order."

Zhenwu said with a slight chin: "Kneel down and rest."

After leaving the main entrance of Changchun Garden, Gamintu slowed down and glanced at Hai Zhang. Hai Zhang was only in his early forties and was the Minister of the Interior Office of the General Administration, a third-rank official who was promoted by Zhenwu recently. Although his rank is not high, this position is the emperor's confidant. Of course, he intended to make a good relationship. He smiled and said with a smile: "I have seen General Administration's courage today."

After hearing this, Hai Zhang also slowed down and smiled slightly, "Master Ka is so brave. What are you afraid of? The imperial court has been building a lot over the years, and the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not know how to restrain themselves. Now, who do not know the fatty officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Since the Emperor mentioned this, he must have heard of it. It is absolutely not a dare to conceal this matter."

Then, he continued, "Master Ga followed the emperor in Jiangnan. He knew very well about the emperor's nature. I hope Master Ga will give me some advice, and Hai Zhang will definitely remember it in my heart."

Gamintu didn't expect Hai Zhang to climb up. However, since he had a good relationship, he naturally couldn't refuse. After pondering slightly, he said softly: "The emperor is good at economics and loves private visits. He not only understands the people's sentiments, but also understands the ills of the officialdom. Only by serving the king with sincerity is the right way."

Yicheng served the king? Hai Zhang was stunned when he heard this. This was definitely not a false statement. How to do the sincerity? After pondering for a moment, he tentatively said: "Does Lord Ga refer to the quotation of the Construction Department?"

After hearing this, Gamintu couldn't help but smile. He had been in the Ministry of Revenue for many years and is now the Minister of Revenue. He was naturally aware of the tricks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The Emperor has already said it very clearly. Lord Hai has not paid attention to it?"

Hai Zhang immediately woke up. When the emperor saw him, Zhenwu asked him whether he was buying low and selling high? Was he soliciting bribes? Or was he directly embezzled? Or was he both? These are some means of making money by the Office of the Internal Affairs! It seems that Zhenwu was greedy for the Office of the Internal Affairs. It seems that the Office of the Internal Affairs is over. He was very depressed. He was a general manager of the Internal Affairs and tried his best to win money. It was his turn to be the general manager. Not only could he not be able to win money, but he also had to pay back. What was this?

Seeing Hai Zhang silent, Gamintu couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Mr. Hai, don't go to a dead end. Who is the emperor? When it comes to making money, no one in the Qing Dynasty can match the emperor. Besides, the emperor is not stingy. Look at the customs, the navy and the new army of the imperial guards. With such a master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should worry about not having any money?"

Hai Zhang nodded repeatedly when he heard this. As long as he survived this level, the good days of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were behind him. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Ga, Hai Zhang must keep it in mind."

"Sir Hai, don't be polite." Gamintu hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting.

The news of the talent show starter in the capital soon spread in the capital. The response in the outer city was not too great, because the talent shower was limited to the bannermen. If the flag was not in the banner, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Of course, if the flag wanted to escape the talent show, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky, because the management of the flag was quite strict, and the performances sent to the selection must be strictly reviewed, and the clan leader, the leader, the cavalry school, the assistant leader, and the leader, and then gathered together.

This can be said to be a layer of inspection. If there is an impostor, I don’t know how many people will be implicated. This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. At the least, the family will be encircled and exiled, and at the worst, the family will be executed. Who dares to joke about their lives and future?

Compared with the outer city, the inner city is busy, and women from the appropriate age selected bannermen began to prepare one after another. This is Emperor Zhenwu's first talent show. Not only is the court attached importance to it, but the families who sent the talent show girls are also highly valued. Zhenwu is only twenty-six years old this year, and there are only a few concubines in the harem. Once chosen, the chance of being favored is quite high. If a prince is born, the entire family will become prosperous. Who dares not to pay attention to this opportunity that can change the fate of the family?

If you have any relationship with the palace, there is no simple matter. The talent show is not only about enriching the harem, but also a means to win over the officials of the court. As the saying goes, one person will be able to achieve the right of the gods. Although the Qing Dynasty strictly prohibits the harem from interfering in politics, the indirect influence cannot be erased no matter what. The significance of this talent show girl is so great that the officials in the capital pay special attention from top to bottom. The families who send the talent show girl use all the relationships that can be used to ensure that their own beautiful show girl can enter the palace smoothly.
