While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Although Li Yifu was a little confused, Yang Fan certainly would not explain the resume of Wei Ting, the father-in-law of the King of Qi.

Yang Fan walked with his hands behind his back, walked straight in with a swagger, and replied perfunctorily: "Mr. Wei should be very reasonable..."

Li Yifu was confused and his mind was full of question marks.

If it were true, it would have been long since the money was transferred to the Ministry of Rites. Why do we still need to come to the door?

But I dare not say this!

Although the minor official guarding the gate of the Civil Affairs Department did not know Yang Fan, he certainly did not dare to scold him when he saw the head and visitor department of the Ministry of Rites following him.

Besides, Yang Fan is so young and is wearing a scarlet official uniform with a silverfish bag on his waist. I guess this person is not an ordinary person.

However, out of professionalism, the little official stopped him and asked with a kind look: "I dare to ask Shangguan, what's the important thing for coming to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

Yang Fan stopped and shouted casually: "Is Mr. Wei here?"

"Dare you ask Shangguan Gui's surname? What's the matter with him looking for the Minister?"

"I just asked if you are here or not?"

"This... is in"

It seemed that the sergeant rarely saw such a arrogant scene in the Civil Affairs Department, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

I want to say I am not here, but I am afraid that it will really delay the business.

I wanted to ask who this person was, but the young man was wearing a scarlet official robe and a silverfish bag, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Li Yifu really wanted to cover his face, thinking that when is it now, and he still has the intention to make things difficult for a guardian here. Wouldn't you hurry up and ask for money?

However, I was also secretly worried that the Civil Affairs Department was the God of Wealth in the entire court, so it was not polite to anyone who came here.

He sighed, afraid that the fuss would be too stiff, so he stepped forward and introduced: "This is Yang Fan, the new minister of the Ministry of Rites. Please let me tell you..."

The little official was shocked. Is this the famous Chang'an Bangmai Yang Fan?

Fortunately, I was cautious just now. If I scolded a few words as arrogantly as usual, I might be beaten up.

And it's the kind that's beaten for nothing if you're beaten.

So he quickly bowed and replied, "Should you wait, the younger one will go and report..."

After saying that, he turned around and ran into the inner courtyard to report the news, for fear that he would be kicked to death by Yang Fan if he ran slowly.

While running, I thought, who is coming to our Civil Affairs Department is not polite? Only this stick dares to show off his power.

However, who in the entire Chang'an City did not know that this little thing happened to His Highness King Qi?

Now that I want to ask for money, I must be here to ask for money. It would be strange if the minister takes care of you!

Still want to go in?

It's simply a humiliation, let's dream!

But after a while, the little official came back, his attitude was more respectful than before, and he nodded and smiled.

"Mr. Yang, please invite Mr. Wei..."

"Yeah," Yang Fan said to Li Yifu: "You can wait here..."

Looking left and right, Yang Fan walked into the yard and headed straight to the main hall of the Minzu Department.

Looking at Yang Fan's back as he was leaving, the little official still looked confused and couldn't figure it out.

It makes no sense.

This stick has offended His Highness King Qi and His Highness King Wei, so it should not be favored by Lord Wei.

Shouldn't he be allowed to wait and then turn it out and humiliate it?

Why did Lord Wei not only not angry or angry when he first went to report, but instead agreed readily?

Shangguan’s thinking is indeed not something that they are just a little official.

Could it be difficult for Lord Wei to get in and practice deliberately?

The little official kept thinking about various scenes.

*******

The main hall of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is more grand than the Ministry of Rites. It is indeed the department that controls the money of the Tang Dynasty. It obviously takes advantage of the near-water tower.

As the financial center of the entire Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is an existence that almost all departments must look up to.

Because the Ministry of Civil Affairs is equivalent to the collective of the Ministry of Finance, Banks, Development and Reform Commission and other departments in later generations, and has great power.

Although the Ministry of Personnel was the first department of the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was really not inferior, and it was in charge of the money bags and was rich in oil and water, so the office environment was naturally unspeakable.

As soon as I entered the duty room, I felt as warm as spring. The office conditions were much better than those of the Ministry of Rites.

Wei Ting is almost fifty years old this year. If he were a farmer, he would have to be hunched over his back. Because of his good maintenance, he looks young and strong and full of energy.

Although he is not tall, his whole person is introverted, gentle and polite, and his elegant temperament from a scholarly family is coming to his face. He is worthy of being a prime minister.

"Haha, it's so bright that Lord Yang can come."

Seeing Yang Fan walking in, Wei Ting actually stood up to greet him, and took Yang Fan's hand intimately to sit down at the table.

This action almost shocked the little official who was responsible for pouring tea and handing water so much that his eyes were bulging out.

Even if the Shangshu from other departments came in person, they did not see his parents as enthusiastic.

His assistant minister was born into the Wei family and always demanded himself as a gentleman. He did not do such extraordinary behavior. It was simply unbelievable.

Of course, Yang Fan was also a little flattered. Not to mention the position of Wei Ting's Minister of the Civil Affairs Department, just the identity of a prince and father-in-law, there is no need to be condescending to the nobles.

What's more, Wei Ting was born in the Wei family of "Weidu in the south of the city". He is usually arrogant and he is so polite when he met him for the first time. I think there is nothing good to say.

As the saying goes, rituals must be made upon others.

Yang Fan doesn't think that his charm has conquered this powerful family who is above the top.

If you don’t know what the other party is, you can only respond to changes with the same tide.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan smiled and said, "You are polite, Lord Wei, you are afraid of disturbing your office if you come uninvited. Please don't be surprised. But once you get here, it's like you get home. It's really warm. I don't want to go back to the cold payroll room of the host and guest office."

After Wei Ting sat down, he said with a smile: "Mr. Yang is a young talent. I wish you could come here for a while. But Mr. Yang is busy with affairs, so I am afraid there is no time. Mr. Yang is coming here, so I am afraid there is nothing good, right? The Ministry of Civil Affairs is going to suffer."

Since Wei Ting said that, Yang Fan would certainly not be polite, so he told the issue of funding.

Wei Ting pretended to be stupid and said: "According to the rules, the accounts of the last quarter have not been reviewed yet, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will not allocate funds..." After saying that, the old god raised the teacup and took a sip.

Yang Fan secretly despised him. Who are the rules prepared for? They are just for those little people who don’t have a backstage. Who would really have the strength care about what rules?

Even if others never act according to the rules, what will you do?

If the emperor speaks, would you still dare to refuse?

Isn’t it just that he wants to benefit? Yang Fan wanted to see what the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department had made, so he said: “I just entered the officialdom and didn’t know anything, but I was even more afraid of misleading the major affairs of the court. I would like to ask Lord Wei to be polite.”

Hearing this, Wei Ting laughed and said slowly: "Rules are dead, people live. Of course, they cannot miss the major affairs of the court because of rules. This is a major affairs of the court. I should do my best. However, I have a private matter that I want to ask Bo Zhongyi for help, but I don't know?"

Yang Fan squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Ting and said lightly: "It's okay to say it!"

Wei Ting stared at Yang Fan for a while and said, "Then I said it!"

Yang Fan's expression remained unchanged: "Look attentively."

Wei Ting gritted his teeth and said, "His Highness King Qi wants to cooperate with you to sell glass."

Yang Fan was still smiling on his face, but his expression was not as good as a smile.

It turns out that this is the purpose, no wonder I just showed my diligence.

The Liuli business will eventually arouse covetousness, which Yang Fan has long realized.

The wealth is moving, and the huge profits that Liuli can bring will definitely make everyone jump up with their eyes and even take them for themselves by any means.

This is also the reason why Yang Fan was willing to give shares to Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin at the beginning.

But Yang Fan really didn't expect that the first person to stretch out his hand was King Qi Li You.

This ignorant prince actually has such insight and courage? It really makes Yang Fan look at Li You with admiration.

After a moment of silence, Yang Fan asked, "Is this the idea of ​​King Qi or Lord Wei?"

But he was thinking in his heart that as a vassal king, the King of Qi guarded one side, and held the power of the five states while holding the wealth of one state. Now he was thinking about the method of making money, and his intentions were greedy and ulterior motives.

Furthermore, Yang Fan did not believe in Wei's information, so it was impossible for him to know that the major shareholder of Liuli's business was Li Shimin.

Seeing Yang Fan so vigilant, Wei Ting smiled bitterly. He was so embarrassed today for his daughter.
