Starting From Bandits, My Younger Brother Is More Than A Million

Chapter 120: Debt Collection

But don't forget, Lu Qi didn't know that he was the Imperial Supervisor.

He is still Jing Anbo.

One of the honors brought by the earl status is that he can enter the palace at any time.

Don't just go to Liubu, even to visit the emperor, you can go if you want.

Lu Qi ignored the two soldiers, and casually threw out a seal.

After the two soldiers saw the seal, their attitudes immediately became more respectful.

Just from the style of the seal, the two of them knew that Lu Qi was an earl.

Different titles naturally have different identity seals.

Those who understand will know it at a glance.

But the soldier subconsciously glanced at the bottom of the seal.

Then he recognized the word [Jing'an].

"Jing'an? Jing'anbo." The soldier read out subconsciously.

Only after I finished reading did I come back to my senses.

Suddenly remembered the identity of Lu Qi.

The fifth fourth rank warrior of the Song Dynasty.

This identity alone made both of them tremble with fright.

Fortunately, although Lu Qi was scolded just now, the two of them did not act rudely, otherwise it would have been bad.

"Meet Jing'an Bo!" The two soldiers saluted at the same time.

After shouting, he returned the seal with both hands.

Lu Qi took back the seal, stepped up and walked into the palace.

After entering the palace, Lu Qi swayed left and right, and asked a few eunuchs to inquire, and finally found Hu's office.

Walking into the gate of the household department, a group of officials in the courtyard were busy, and no one took care of Lu Qi.

The Household Department is in charge of the imperial court's financial power, and has many business contacts with other departments every day, and there are many officials coming in and out.

It is quite normal to have a new face appear.

Lu Qi didn't look for anyone, and walked directly inward.

At this time, Hubu Shangshu, Hubu Shilang, Hubu Zhonglang, and Hubu Yuanwailang, a dozen people, large and small, were in the innermost room, looking down at various brochures.

The end of the new year is coming soon, and by the end of the year, the household department can almost be said to be the busiest government office among the six departments.

The amount of things to deal with is frightening.

It can be said that there is no idle time all day long.

This is not to say that the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs are all conscientious.

The end of the year settlement is a great time to make money.

In order to earn more money, mere hard work is nothing.

Lu Qi swaggered into the house.

"Hey, are you busy adults?" Lu Qi said after finding a random place to sit down.

Hearing his voice, more than a dozen officials in the room raised their heads.

The sixth rank officials like Zhong Lang and Yuan Wai Lang naturally don't know Lu Qi.

However, the Minister of the Household Department and the servant knew Lu Qi.

Some time ago, the two of them ran to Lu Qi's house quite often.

"I met Uncle Jing An, why are you free to come to my household department today? You didn't even say hello." Su Yanliang, the secretary of the household department, said hastily.

There was no pretense in his tone.

Although his official position is higher than that of Lu Qi, people in the entire capital city now think that Lu Yi is a fourth rank doctor.

This status is much higher than any official rank.

In the entire Song Dynasty, even the emperor dared not easily flirt with Lu Qi.

At the same time, the servant of the household department also shouted: "I have seen Uncle Jing An, come here, and serve tea to Uncle Jing An quickly."

Hearing the address of the two, the petty officials in the rest of the room immediately looked at Lu Qi with surprised eyes.

It's like seeing something strange.

Lu Qi waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm here today on business."

Hearing this, Su Yanliang quickly asked, "What's the matter with Bo Jing'an?"

Although he was asking in his mouth, he was puzzled in his heart.

Business?

What business can there be between them?

Lu Qi said: "It's not an important matter, old Su, what's the matter with your household department defaulting on the half-year salary of the officials of our country's Zijian? If you don't give me an explanation on this matter today

Don't blame me for getting mad. "

Hearing this, Su Yanliang's eyes widened immediately.

He remembered that Bo Jing'an was still the director of the Imperial College.

Although Guozijian is almost translucent in the court today, Lu Qi is opaque.

The arrears of salary can be big or small.

If other Guozijian officials came to their household department to ask for money, Su Yanliang would definitely not give him a good face.

No, if it were someone else, they might not even be able to see Su Yanliang.

Is the second rank official someone you can meet whenever you want?

But today is Lu Qi, Su Yanliang dare not refute Lu Qi's face.

I saw a shocked expression on his face: "What, there is such a thing, come and check it out for me, and see which bastard did it poorly.

Not to mention it looks pretty good.

There are more than a dozen officials, large and small, from the Imperial College, plus doctors and teaching assistants, there are hundreds of people.

Half a year in arrears with the salaries of hundreds of people, who would dare to do this without the approval of his minister?

But since Su Yanliang wants to act, Lu Qi will not expose him.

After a while, someone will come back and report.

"My lord, it has been found out that it is a Zhonglang below who is not doing his job well. He has been taken down and can be released at any time."

Lu Qi smiled, and pointed out that a sixth rank Zhonglang was the one who took the blame, as is always the case in official circles.

"Uncle Jing'an, you can rest assured that this matter will be investigated strictly by the officials. There will never be similar incidents in the future. As for the salary owed before, I will order someone to make up for it." Su Yanliang patted his chest and promised.

Lu Qi nodded, don't believe in the strict investigation.

Just give money.

However, Lu Qi is not satisfied just to make up for the unpaid salary.

"Old Su, it's almost the end of the new year, what kind of welfare is the imperial court going to give us?" Lu Qi casually picked up a booklet on the table and flipped through it.

As an official in the imperial court, in addition to the fixed monthly salary, there will naturally be some benefits during the festivals.

These things are the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance.

There are a lot of tricks in the middle.

Except for a few officials, the amount of benefits that most officials can receive depends almost entirely on how Su Yanliang, the minister of the household department, distributes them.

Departments that have a good relationship with the Ministry of Household Affairs can naturally get more points.

Of course, those who have a normal relationship will get less points. (Money is good) As for those who offend the Ministry of Households, you may not even have a mouthful of soup.

At this time in the past, the officials of the Imperial College were those who couldn't even drink soup.

But today is different.

Now Guozijian is the territory of Lu Qi.

soup?

No, daddy wants meat.

Also eat chunks.

As soon as he heard Lu Qi's words, Su Yanliang knew what he was implying, and quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Jingan, this year's welfare will definitely be fine, the Shu brocade in the south of the Yangtze River, the rice paper in Luozhou, and the rare fruits and other tributes from all over the world." beast....……"

He said a lot of things at once, all of which were rare things.

Take the Luozhou rice paper as an example, it is the most sought after by literati, and it is usually hard to find a piece of paper.

After that, Lu Qi hadn't even heard of many things.

But after Su Yanliang finished speaking, Lu Qi found that something was missing, Uncle.

So Lu Qi interrupted Su Yanliang's eloquence, and said:
