Chapter 120: Falling Ledgers

As soon as Li Chengqian entered the Tai Chi Palace, he saw several officials discussing some things with Li Shimin.

He entered it with a swagger without any fear, as if he was in his own home.

He took a closer look at the people on the field.

He had seen these people when he went to the Secretariat that day, but he didn't know what position they were in and which department they held an official position.

He didn't have time to think about anything more.

Go directly into it.

He also bowed to Li Shimin and said, "My son is paying homage to the father!"

Many officials also saluted him.

"I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian signaled to exempt him from the gift.

Then he asked, "What's the matter with my father looking for my son and minister?"

When Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian's arrival, he laughed:

"Today I had a very happy chat with the people from the Ministry of Revenue. I thought that if you can participate in the management of this country, you will definitely be able to do a great job and provide you with some reference value for your future governance of the country. Therefore, I will bring you! Let's learn from them."

It turned out that Li Shimin was thinking about this.

I want Li Chengqian to learn something about governing the country in advance, and this Ministry of Revenue is just one link. Learning cannot be achieved overnight, and you need to learn it steadily and slowly!

The responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue is to control the land, household registration, taxation, fiscal revenue and expenditure, etc. It can be said to be a department with a lot of wealth.

But this department is also a physical job, especially some text and numbers, which are much more than other departments.

Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to intervene in the Ministry of Revenue, which probably means something. It's not just learning.

Otherwise, how could he be allowed to come to the Ministry of Revenue, rather than the Ministry of Justice?

"So that's how it is! I know!"

"Come on, Dai Zhou, come here!"

Li Shimin waved.

Dai Zhou first served in the Sui Dynasty. Ming Jing joined the official position and started his career as a member of the Ministry of Personnel Yunqiwei and moved to the subordinates to record the matter. He opposed the usurpation of the throne by King Zheng and left Hulao Pass. He surrendered to the Qin King Li Shimin, appointed a scholar Cao to join the army, and was promoted to the Ministry of War. He was a man in Wuchang County. After ascending the throne, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali and the left son of the crown prince. Now he is the Minister of Revenue.

Dai Zhou stepped forward and bowed to Li Chengqian.

"Dai Zhou is a person I value very much. Now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If you have anything to learn in the future, you can go to the Ministry of Revenue to find him to study hard. I will have to take the assessment in the future."

There is also an assessment, is Li Shimin afraid that he has nothing to do?

Li Shimin was speechless for a moment. Looking at Dai Zhou again, it seemed familiar!

Dai Zhou is a celebrity with a high official position. If you don’t argue, you’re really sorry for yourself, but how can you argue?

Suddenly, he remembered the method he had to talk to Zou Fengchi before, which could be used on the Ministry of Revenue. This person is the key.

So he said, "Father, the sons should know what the Ministry of Revenue does, it is nothing more than keeping an account book and reconciling the accounts. There is nothing to learn!"

"Qian'er, what are you saying? You must be humble in life. Even if you are extremely smart, don't be too complacent because of this! Confucius said that there must be my teacher when you walk together!"

Li Shimin said this, and he also knew that Li Chengqian was powerful, especially recently, he had a face for himself.

But what he said now made him feel a little unhappy.

At the same time, Li Chengqian's words made Dai Zhou even more silenced, and he was also very embarrassed, and he became angry.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Ministry of Revenue has many places in charge. It is not only a simple account book, but also once this account book is released, your prince may not be able to understand it."

Dai Zhou seemed to intend to let Li Chengqian give up when he saw the difficulties. Most ordinary account books like this were not understood.

Even Li Shimin may not be able to see clearly, but then again, does Li Shimin need to look at him?

Of course, someone helped him to approve it, and he didn't need to take action. Who made him the emperor?!

When Li Chengqian heard this, it turned out that Dai Zhou was deceived.

So he said, "Come on, let me show you what you call the account book?"

He had read Zou Fengchi's account books, and he could read all the thick ones. How difficult could a mere account book of the Ministry of Revenue be?

Dai Zhou was so angry that he took out the account book he carried with him and said, "This account was originally intended to be handed over to the emperor to check, and now it is handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a review."

Several ministers around were also surprised.

In their opinion, these books are not easy to be viewed.

After all, they have worked in the Ministry of Revenue for several years and know everything about it.

Today's prince actually said that these account books were useless, and they were more or less dissatisfied.

Dai Zhou handed over the account book, and Li Chengqian took it and took it.

The above are full of text. Ordinary people have long wanted to go to bed after reading it.

But Li Chengqian could see clearly. In fact, his mind was not on this account book, but on how to argue with Dai Zhou.

So he snorted coldly.

No one knows what happened now.

Li Chengqian threw the account book onto the floor.

This important change made Li Shimin wonder.

"Gan'er, what are you doing?"

He suddenly asked!

"Father, can this be considered an account book? It's so bad! The above records are too complicated! There are many loopholes!"

Li Chengqian has an amazing memory, and his calculations are also very good, so he can see it all at once.

When Dai Zhou heard this, his face became very ugly, and he said:

"Your Highness, the recording method of this account book was passed down from the time of the Supreme Emperor. No one questioned its use. How can you? And what is recorded above is formed by hundreds of people from all over the Ministry of Revenue for a lot of time!"

He was said to be so bad. Li Chengqian actually ignored their efforts!

Someone else joined the conversation.

"Yes! Your Highness, it's wrong for you to say this!"

"I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tell the mistakes in order to repay everyone!"

"Why is it complicated? We really can't see it!"

"I think it's very simple..."

Everyone said so.

Li Chengqian smiled coldly, but said:

"What are you doing for? I have seen the problem, but you are still obsessed with it!? Don't you listen to me first? There is obviously a better way, but you don't need it!"

"I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for advice!"

Everyone said in unconvinced voices, and they wanted to see how Li Chengqian wanted to make a comeback.

Li Shimin was also curious because he thought it was quite good.

"Qian'er's spirit is worthy of praise. If you dare to raise doubts, I, the Tang Dynasty, need such spirit!"
