晚清最后几十年,在六部尚书中最难当的要数户部尚书了.由于连年的内战和支付对外巨额赔款,以致库藏空虚,国家财政严重拮据.光绪初年,国家元气虽有恢复,但收入有限,支出浩繁.所以,凡担任户部尚书的无不受人指责唾骂.偏偏在这种情势下,西太后于1886年(光绪十二年)谕令翁同和出掌户部尚书,而且一当就是十多年,直到1898年戊戌变法时开缺回籍为止. In the late decades of the late Qing dynasty, the hardest parts of the six books were the books which were most difficult to be published by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. As a result of years of civil war and huge foreign indemnities paid, resulting in an empty reservoir and a serious financial constraint on the state finance, However, due to limited income and huge expenditures, all those who serve as ministers and tribunals criticize and reprimand people, but in this situation, the Empress Dowager dictates Weng Tongshu to the ministry in 1886 (twelve years Guangxu) When it was more than a decade, until 1898 when the Reform Movement of 1898 opened up home.
