Chapter 50 A huge amount of stolen money from Shanxi merchants was confiscated, and Apocalypse was shocked! (Add more! Please follow up)
Tian Qi fell silent after hearing this.
"The three major halls are related to the national ceremonies, so they must be repaired, so the internal funds allocated to the Ministry of Industry are only 2,220,000 taels for use, and the inner court still has to keep tens of thousands of taels of silver, otherwise how can we live? "
After a while, Tian Qi said a word.
"Your Majesty! I think it's wrong!"
At this time, Wang Ji stood up.
Seeing this expression, Tianqi asked sternly: "What's wrong?"
"Now His Majesty needs to rectify the Beijing camp, enrich the army and horses, so as to strengthen the court. No matter what, you have to leave two million taels of silver. Instead of emptying out the internal funds, it is better to tax the people of the world by two cents. I would rather suffer the people than suffer." You can't suffer your father!"
Wang Ji replied.
He naturally didn't want Tianqi to have money to train troops, but the more he didn't want to, the more he deliberately showed consideration for the emperor in front of the imperial court, and even offered suggestions such as tax increases.
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's possible. Now that the tax increase in Guangliao has already led to starvation everywhere in the world, countless refugees, and now there are civil unrest in Shandong. If the levy continues, I'm afraid the world will be full of smoke!"
Shangshu Wang Yingjiao objected before Tianqi could speak.
Wang Ji argued: "But what's the point of levying two percentage points more? Is it true that Da Sinong only cares about the people and not the emperor?!"
Wang Yingjiao said: "Your Majesty! Although the additional levy is not much, once it is carried out, when it goes to the locality, when the officials directly send more people to the people, it will become two liang!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the people of the world will understand your majesty's difficulty. If the levy is increased now, it can be exempted in the future."
Wang Ji suggested.
Wang Yingjiao asked rhetorically, "Excuse me, Da Sima, is the additional Liao salary exempted now?"
Wang Ji blushed after hearing this, and immediately reported to Tian Qi: "Your Majesty! Da Sinong is implying His Majesty's incompetence, and he is deceiving the emperor!"
Wang Yingjiao bowed directly to the ground: "Your Majesty, even if I am punished today, I will say that if Your Majesty doesn't want the world to be hungry and smoke everywhere, then you can't pay more!"
"An'an is hungry and wants to be like a mantis?"
Wang Ji asked Wang Yingjiao a question, and said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I think that the levy of 2% will not harm the country, because people are originally good, and most of the people in the world are good people. Even if they starve to death, they will not rebel. Treason, even if there are a few unruly people who want to make trouble, it can only be suppressed overnight, and His Majesty's soldiers and horses have to be trained, not to mention that if the soldiers and horses are well trained, a few refugees will make trouble! Now, Da Si Nong Stopping His Majesty in this way, clearly for the people, is actually a deliberate attempt to prevent His Majesty from training soldiers!"
Wang Ji directly blamed him at this time, obviously he intended to prevent Tianqi from training soldiers, but he pinned the blame on Wang Yingjiao in a few words.
Wang Yingjiao was like a dumb man who couldn't tell what he was suffering from eating coptis, so he was so angry that he directly questioned Wang Ji: "Da Sima, why did I offend you and hurt me like this!"
"Your Majesty! Da Sinong's words are clearly slanderous to deceive the emperor, and the minister is only loyal to His Majesty!"
As he said that, Wang Ji looked at Wang Yingjiao: "If Da Si Nong doesn't have this intention, he should let His Majesty have the silver for military training, instead of preventing the people of the world from sharing their father's worries with filial piety!"
"Your Majesty! I have absolutely no such intention! Please learn from Your Majesty!"
Wang Yingjiao replied.
Tian Qi glanced at Wang Ji, sneered psychologically, and secretly said: "Well, Wang Ji, don't think that I can't see it, you are fooling me by speaking for me, sooner or later I will let you know what an emperor is unpredictable! It's better to be honest in front of me like Wang Yingjiao than to think that I can be bullied like you!"
Then, Tian Qi looked at Zhang Wenda and the others again, and said in his heart: "You better spend all my money where it should be used, otherwise I will let you know what will happen if you drown the money I gave to the soldiers and civilians in the world!"
After thinking this way, Tian Qi said: "Let's all step back, just follow Wang Qing's words, don't raise wages for the people, and I don't train soldiers."
"Your Majesty is holy!"
Wang Yingjiao replied, and then retreated together with the other three ministers.
"Your Majesty really allocated all the internal funds?"
As soon as Wang Ji came back, he told Hou Xun the news that Apocalypse had exhausted his internal funds, and Hou Xun was very pleasantly surprised when he heard it.
Wang Ji nodded: "Not only that, but this hall also has Wang Yingjiao in his army!"
After speaking, Wang Ji gave Hou Xun what he said in front of the imperial court.
Hou Xun heard this: "Da Sima's strategy is brilliant. He, Wang Yingjiao, has joined the treacherous minister Zhang Gui's family. If His Majesty can be dissatisfied with Wang Yingjiao, he may be implicated in Zhang Gui by punishing Wang Yingjiao in the future!"
Wang Ji said with a smile, and then said: "Next, it's still the same sentence, what should be lost is lost, what should be embezzled is embezzled, and the world's ministers and workers can't really live on their salaries."
"What Da Sima said was that after the Jiliao area drifted away, it would be fine to give them a second person who should be paid. After all, we civil servants are in charge. Mao Wenlong in Pidao, a military official, and the remaining one will do."
…
"Wei Zhongxian, is there really only more than 60,000 taels of domestic money left in the inner court?"
Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian after the four ministers left.
Wei Zhongxian said with a crying face: "My lord, there are really only more than 60,000 taels left. It is hard for the inner court to live a little more leniently, but now we have to live in a hurry."
"It's okay to be tight, the key is that the training has to be postponed."
Tian Qi sighed, and then suddenly looked at Wei Zhongxian with a solemn expression: "You, Dongchang, have to keep an eye on it next time, some money is spent, and you can get it back in multiples!"
"Yes, don't worry, my lord!"
Wei Zhongxian understood what Tianqi meant, so he pursed his lips and replied.
Then, Tian Qi asked Wei Zhongxian again: "You know, who is the last person I don't want to see now?"
Wei Zhongxian replied: "Uncle Guo!"
Tianqi nodded and said: "Yes, I promised to give him coal subsidies, and adopted his proposal to set up an industry department and an ordnance department. I promised that he would come to me for money if he wanted to do things that benefit the country and the people, and he also asked for money." For military training, we need to set up a military training school. I also agreed and let him do it. Now I am afraid that he will come to me for money because of these things, but in the end I don’t have it! Wouldn't it make him lose his will if he didn't give out money?"
Speaking, Tian Qi asked again: "You said if he knew that I gave all the silver to the civil servants of the outer dynasty to do business, would he complain about me?"
Wei Zhongxian thought to himself: "Don't talk about Uncle Guo, I'm a bit complaining!"
Of course, Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to say that on a bright face, so he forced a smile and said: "Uncle Guo will understand the emperor."
""Your Majesty! Uncle Guo asks His Majesty to see you! "
At this time, an **** outside came in to report.
"I really said Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here!"
Tian Qi stood up after hearing this, and said to Wei Zhongxian with some embarrassment: "You go to see him! Just say that I am not here, and find a way to send him away!"
After Tian Qi finished speaking, he hid in the warm pavilion.
He is now instinctively embarrassed to see Zhang Gui.
Because of some life experiences in childhood, Tianqi doesn't like to see people around him disappointed in him.
So, now he is also afraid that Zhang Gui will be disappointed because he has no money.
"yes!"
Wei Zhongxian actually didn't want to see Zhang Gui now, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out.
Not long after, Wei Zhongxian ran back quickly: "Your Majesty! Uncle Guo is here to visit the book."
Tianqi said angrily: "Didn't you tell him to take him away?! No matter what his book is, he can't let him in!"
Wei Zhongxian handed the title book to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, it's silver!"
"Ask me for the money book?!"
After Tian Qi asked, he immediately kicked Wei Zhongxian: "Don't you know that I have no money?!"
Wei Zhongxian touched his thigh and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it's Uncle Guo who sent the money!"
"Send money?!"
After Tian Qi heard this, he hurriedly snatched the copybook from Wei Zhongxian's hand, opened it, and couldn't help but read: "I...is ordered to crack down on smuggling all over the world...I seized more than 18 million taels of silver and became an official."
"so much?!"
Tian Qi looked at the question book with trembling hands.
I wrote two chapters this afternoon, and I’ve updated them all. I’m looking for more updates. I hope everyone can make more recommendations for this book.
