Chapter 5277: Expansion of Staff

"Yes, Ye Shangshu's ability is obvious to all. In less than ten days of commanding in Northern Xinjiang, he commanded a battle that overturned the situation in Northern Xinjiang, causing countless casualties among evil cultivators and greatly reducing their morale!"

"Without Ye Shangshu's ability, I'm afraid the war in Northern Xinjiang will only be delayed again and again, and the expenses in Northern Xinjiang will be incalculable!"

They finally started to tell the truth. After all, there were so many powerful people in Northern Xinjiang, and the expenses were naturally extremely huge. Ji Tianxing naturally didn't want to delay it, but it was hard to say what other people thought.

First of all, the Ministry of War must enrich its own pockets, and the Ministry of War is managed by Ji Qingwu. In order to stabilize people's hearts, naturally they can only turn a blind eye to this kind of thing and treat it as invisible.

Therefore, whenever there is a war, nearly half of the expenses may be missing, and it is unknown who has gone into someone's pocket, and Ji Qingwu cannot control it.

Naturally, the Ministry of Justice is not a good person. Even when there is no war, their expenses are extremely huge. After the war, they will also think of various ways to exaggerate the expenses of the Ministry of Justice.

Just like this year, because the Ministry of Justice wanted to send more powerful people to Northern Xinjiang to stabilize the rear of Northern Xinjiang, it spent nearly 20% more than last year, and the Ministry of Justice is one of the two most important departments in Shenxia. The expense can be imagined.

Therefore, when Ji Tianxing heard the word 'expense', his head started to hurt and his face turned half dark.

"Let's talk about how much the expenses in Northern Xinjiang will be this time." Ji Tianxing shifted the topic to the main point, which is what he is most concerned about at the moment.

The cabinet minister came out. He was nearly 70 years old, with white hair, and he looked groggy. If you couldn't see clearly the sparkle hidden deep in his eyes, you might think he was just an old and feeble old man.

"Your Majesty, I have reviewed the list reported by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice." Mr. Ge said: "This transfer to Northern Xinjiang, not including the cost of the Xihuang Battle, is nearly 50 million..."

Fifty million! ?

Ji Tianxing's body also trembled, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ji Kong and Ji Qingwu in disbelief. He really didn't expect that when the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment were handed over to the two of them, neither of them could manage them well.

In order to win over people's hearts, they all indulged their subordinates, falsely reporting numbers and exaggerating expenses.

Mr. Ge continued to say in a daze: "Because the Ministry of War has to transport supplies, the expenses are naturally larger, 35 million, and the Ministry of Justice has more than 15 million in expenses. In addition, the Ministry of Justice has more expenses in other aspects this year. A lot.”

"Generally speaking, compared with previous years, the expenditure of the Ministry of War has increased by 10%, and the expenditure of the Ministry of Justice has also increased by almost 10%. Of course, this is also due to the impact of the war."

Ji Kong and Ji Qingwu lowered their heads. The ministers of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War also remained silent and lowered their heads. Apparently they also realized that they had taken too many benefits this time and there were not many reasonable reasons to explain.

After all, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice maintain a large group of strong men all year round. Even if they deploy troops and fight, the extra expenses will not be as high as this.

Ji Tianxing even laughed angrily and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay!!"

"In other words, including the Battle of Xihuang, it will be difficult for the treasury to collect even a penny this year. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice have such huge expenses every year, but they don't look at the situation of Shenxia and don't increase revenue and reduce expenditure!?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War came out and knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. There is indeed a dirty trend in the Ministry of War. I am also carefully investigating why the expenses are so high. I believe that I will give an explanation to Your Majesty soon!" "

The Minister of Punishment looked stern and walked out, but he did not kneel down to salute. After standing and saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, the expenditure of the Punishment Department is necessary. Because of the war in Northern Xinjiang, we expanded the size of the Punishment Department by nearly 30%. "
