After becoming a doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Hao would officially start working.
In the Qing Dynasty, the government offices of the central government were basically located within Zhengyang Gate, on both sides of the Thousand Steps Corridor of the Imperial City. Among them, Luanyi Wei, Taichang Temple, Ducha Yuan, Xing Department, Dali Temple, etc. were located on the west side, while the Imperial Clan Office, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, Honglu Temple, Imperial Astronomical Supervisor, Imperial Hospital, etc. were located on the east side. (Near the Museum of History)
Liu Hao was no longer unfamiliar with the bureaucracy of the Forbidden City.
When Liu Hao arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, there were quite a number of officials chatting. The content of the conversation naturally had a lot to do with Liu Hao.
"Yesterday, His Majesty personally appointed Liu Hao. In a month, he was still at Rank-6. Today, he has already become a Rank-5!”
"This Liu Hao, he joined He Shen, and now he has also ascended to the heavens. Hmph, if not for that, how could he be promoted so quickly in a month's time!“
"I think so too. Liu Hao specializes in flattering and sucking up to people. He is jackals of the same tribe as He Shen!”
"If Liu Hao comes, we might as well give him a show of strength!”
……
The voices of these discussions were not soft, but they drilled into Liu Hao's ears.
Liu Hao frowned slightly. He suddenly felt that the Ministry of Revenue's involvement in this muddy water was not as he had imagined. The actual situation was extremely complicated.
One had to know that the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the country's territory, land, household registration, taxes, salaries, and all financial matters. Its internal administration is divided into divisions according to the regional division of labor. In addition to checking the money and grain of the province, each department was also in charge of part of the general affairs of other Yamen, and their responsibilities were mostly overlapping.
In the Qing Dynasty, the head of the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the country's territory, land, household registration, taxes, salaries, finance and other matters. Its institutions were divided into Jiangnan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hujian, Hunan, Shanzhi, Tianfu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yungui, etc., 14 departments for cleaning officials, and there were eight banners salary office, current examination office, rice silver office, donation office, internal warehouse and other institutions to handle the salary of the eight banners, donation and other matters. The administrative affairs within the department were managed by the South and North archives, the Department of Affairs, the Department of Supervision, the Department of the Month, and the Department of Supervision.
The institutions under the Ministry of Revenue were Qian Fa Tang and Baoquan Bureau, which were in charge of coining money. The three treasuries of the Ministry of Revenue were in charge of the treasury, and the granary yamen was in charge of the warehouse and water transport affairs.
It could be said that the entire Ministry of Revenue was complicated and there was a lot of profit. Naturally, countless people would sharpen their heads to get in.
Although He Shen was the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was usually in the Military and Political Affairs Office. There were still two assistant ministers in the Ministry of Revenue to handle matters.
One of the two assistant ministers was Manchu and the other was Han.
He Shen hadn't been the Minister of Revenue for long enough and hadn't cultivated his own confidants yet. As such, the entire Ministry of Revenue could be said to be complicated.
Liu Hao greeted, but no one paid attention to him.
Although He Shen had the title of Minister of Revenue, he had just become the Minister of Revenue this year. He was previously the Left Assistant Minister of Revenue.
Currently, the entire Ministry of Revenue was not completely under He Shen's control.
Knowing that Liu Hao was He Shen's disciple, they naturally looked down on him.
Liu Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, he asked a scribe,""I am the new doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. My surname is Liu Hao, and I have been ordered to be on duty. May I ask where my office is?”
The scribe sized up Liu Hao. His expression wasn't very warm.
The Ministry of Revenue was also divided into different factions. Previously, He Shen had been the left assistant minister, but he had not even gotten a chance to do so. Because of the impeachment of the Minister of Personnel, he was demoted two levels. However, He Shen's promotion speed was too fast. He Shen had not even had the time to put a nail in the Ministry of Revenue.
"You are Doctor Liu?"
The scribe sized up Liu Hao arrogantly, with a bit of arrogance. He said indifferently,"There is indeed an official letter saying that you want to sit in court. Follow me!”
Liu Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. He could feel that the Ministry of Revenue seemed to have some opinions about Lord He. In addition, they also had some opinions about him.
He was promoted too quickly and lacked qualifications.
What did He Shen mean by greedy? These bastards from the Ministry of Revenue sat in the most lucrative department in the Qing Dynasty. How could they not be greedy?
It would be strange if he wasn't greedy!
He followed the scribe to a guard room and greeted the person inside.
Immediately, a middle-aged man who looked like an official came out. This person had two small mustaches and was about 40 years old. However, he had triangular eyes and looked quite cunning. He bowed to Liu Hao and said indifferently,"I am an official from the Ministry of Revenue. My surname is Fang and my name is Hai.。”
As he spoke, Fang Hai casually raised his hand. It was obvious that he did not take Liu Hao seriously.
Which one of them who could enter the Ministry of Revenue did not have some background?
To be able to sit on the throne of an official was even more extraordinary. Even if he left the Ministry of Revenue, he would at least be an official of the sixth rank or above.
If he returned to the central government in the future, he would be a third-grade official if he was lucky.
Therefore, Fang Hai did not put Liu Hao, the newly promoted doctor, in his eyes. Although he knew that Liu Hao was the six-headed scholar and relied on He Shen to get to the top, Fang Hai was still very calm. This was the Ministry of Revenue, not a place where anyone could behave atrociously. If you dare to cause trouble, you should not be an official.
He led Liu Hao into the duty room of the Ministry of Revenue. The duty room was not big. There was only a hall with seven or eight scribes working here. Other than that, there were a few side rooms. There were also signs hanging outside the side rooms, such as Yang, Zhang, and so on. These were also doctors on duty. However, there was no movement inside. It was obvious that they had gone elsewhere to work.
Fang Hai greeted a few scribes and asked them to move a table and chairs. After cleaning up the hall, he said to Liu Hao,"Doctor Liu, this is your office. If there's anything else, just tell me.”
Liu Hao narrowed his eyes. The hall was filled with scribes, while the other doctors had their own rooms on duty. However, he was arranged to be in this hall with a group of scribes. He looked around and found that there was an empty room on duty. He walked in and saw some junk piled up inside. Liu Hao pointed at the empty room and said,"If there was no guard room, then it would be fine if I felt wronged in this hall. But there are clearly empty guard rooms here, so why do you let this official be on duty in the hall?”
Fang Hai frowned and chuckled.”
"You can pile them up somewhere else," Liu Hao said.”
"Doctor Liu doesn't know the rules. The Ministry of Revenue is different from the other yamens. Doctor Liu will be on duty here for the time being.”
"Oh?"
Liu Hao slightly narrowed his eyes and casually picked up an inkstone. He said indifferently,"Secretary Fang, do you mean that I am inferior in the Ministry of Revenue?“
Fang Hai didn't say anything, but he made it clear.
Liu Hao smiled. He suddenly picked up the inkstone in his hand and aimed it at Secretary Fang's head.
"Who do you think you are?"
