Tuobayan, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Maodun, the great Shan of the Huns.

The troops conquered Jizhou and Cangzhou in two ways, slaughtered tens of thousands of residents and soldiers, the city was ablaze, and blood flowed like rivers.

Luo Bei rubbed his temples, his eyes rolled coldly, and tapped on the table: "Lu Shang, tell me what to do?"

"Call over!" Lu Shang's steady voice drifted out.

"Hit? What do you use to hit?" Li Taibai's eyes were flushed, as if he hadn't slept for several nights.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you fight?" Seeing her brother's objection, Li Qinglian snorted and questioned immediately.

"Oh, Your Highness, sister, Master Lu, can you take a look at the accounts of this state treasury?" Li Taibai shook a very thick account book and looked at everyone helplessly.

"How much more?"

He heard Li Taibai's complaints to him more than once about all the information of General Luo Bei, but at that time there was no final detailed account. Judging from Li Taibai's current state, I am afraid that the final amount has been sorted out.

"If all assets are converted into cash! The total balance is 17 cents." Every time Li Taibai uttered a word, everyone's faces turned pale.

"So little? Where did Dachu's money go?" Li Qinglian was the first to exclaim uncontrollably, and she grabbed Li Taibai's arm.

"Money has been wiped out by the prime minister's mansion. He has cultivated so much power. You think it's all based on personal charm, but it's all white money." Li Taibai gritted his teeth, wishing he could whip Cao Mengran out.

"That's not right. Compared with southern Xinjiang, Great Chu is much stronger. Can a prime minister empty the country?" Lu Shang pondered for a moment, and then slowly expressed his analysis.

"Lord Lu is right. There are two problems here. One is that the state treasury has been drained by two private accounts, and the other is that each country now has its own right to mint coins, and they can easily cause anti-dumping to profit from Chu."

"So at present, these are the two major cancers that have caused the emptiness of the Great Chu treasury." Li Taibai scanned the crowd, and told them the root cause he had analyzed in the past few days.

"Isn't the minting in Dachu?" This time it was Luo Bei's turn to be surprised. "Then Dachu, the leader of the kingdoms, is playing a bit of a joke. Don't the emperors of all dynasties know that the economic foundation determines the politics of the court?"

"What?" Lu Shang and Li Taibai were stunned by Luo Bei's last sentence, and couldn't help repeating this sentence: "The economic foundation determines the politics of the court..."

The two of them determined to be familiar with classics and become the pillars of a country since they were young, so hearing this sentence, it is not such a shocking conclusion to look at the books of sages.

"It's nothing, follow up with me in this follow-up, I will tell you, let's solve the money problem first!" Luo Bei also knew that he couldn't help quoting the old horse's theory, which scared everyone.

"Then which question does Your Highness plan to start with first?" Li Taibai glanced at Lu Shang, and opened his mouth tentatively.

If one chooses to deprive the vassal state of its coinage rights, the southern border that Luo Bei has just conquered may be the first to strike.

"Solve the first problem first, and then select a few pilot sites and start working on the second problem after I put down the rebellion." Luo Bei looked at Li Taibai with burning eyes: "Tell me, those two private accounts dared to invade State property."

"Uh, Your Highness should read it by himself." Li Taibai glanced at the text of the account book, but still didn't say anything and decided to let Luo Bei check it by himself.

"Here, what did you see that frightened you so much?" Luo Bei chuckled, took the account book and looked up, then became dazed: "The treasury remits 65 yuan to two accounts every year to the prime minister's mansion and the inner garden of the palace. "

"Your Highness, this is still the amount for this year. It was more than that for the year before last year. I made a rough calculation. The two amounts together account for almost 20.00% of the total revenue of the treasury." Li Taibai also knew that it was a matter of royal face, so Did not say too much.

"Hey, this king is going to deal with it at the imperial palace; has the inventory of the prime minister's mansion come out? How much money is left?" Now these cronies of Luo Bei have seen the account book, and everyone dare not speak for a while. He had no choice but to speak first to break the silence.

"It's still being cleaned up. The current money in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not expected to be much, and then most of the antiques and famous utensils, what does Your Highness think about it?" Li Taibai knew that according to the previous practice of sealing up ministers, some of these things went to the state treasury, and most of them went to the treasury. Filled into the emperor's inner library in the inner garden of the palace.

"How do we sell it all?" Luo Bei frowned, and made a decisive decision, "The country is so poor, let's keep the country first, not to mention that there is still a batch of compensation and appeasement money to be paid."

"Okay!" The remaining three nodded at the same time to approve Luo Bei's decision.

"You don't have to worry about the money issue. This king will solve it. But this king has an idea about putting down the rebellion this time. I will consult you first." Luo Bei waved his sleeves and sat on the head.

"Please speak, Your Highness!" The three bowed and saluted.

"This king gave my father a suggestion, to abolish the prime minister and set up a system of procuratorate, procuratorate and four ministers and six ministries..." Luo Bei slowly narrated the content of his suggestion to everyone.

"Your Highness, you can't. I just came to Dachu, how can I sit in the position of Da Sikong?" Lu Shang's face flushed, and he was shocked by Luo Bei's trust in him, but he also knew that he was a foreigner and could not convince everyone.

"Where are you two?" Luo Bei did not answer Lu Shang's words, but looked at Li Taibai and Li Qinglian brothers and sisters.

"Brother sits as a young master in order to get familiar with the business and replace Master Chen in the future?" Li Qinglian looked at Luo Bei with a smile. Although he did not arrange a position for herself, she was obviously satisfied with Li Taibai's position.

"Yes!" Luo Bei nodded appreciatively, "Xiaobai has been away from the court for a long time, so he should first get acquainted with the officials."

"Okay! Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation." Li Taibai patted his chest, stood at attention and promised, "I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness."

"Aren't you surprised that the third sister is the chief minister?" Luo Bei looked at the three of them with great interest, "Lord Lu should also know about this king's younger sister!"

"The current Guan Zhongye!" Lu Shang gave a thumbs up in admiration, "When I assisted the high priest in governing southern Xinjiang, I had a trade confrontation with the Holy Lotus Sect she ruled, and I was defeated several times."

"Yes, the third princess has indeed managed the Holy Lotus Sect very well." Li Qinglian and Li Taibai also nodded.

"Okay!" Luo Bei then looked at Lu Shang sincerely, "Your Majesty Lu, don't underestimate yourself. It is the first step for you and Xiaobai to be familiar with the court affairs in the past few days. This king will take Guan Suiying and Sanmei to conquer Putting down the chaos, wait for this king to come back, and with his military achievements, he will shock the world, so you should be ready to welcome him."

"This king is relying on this quelling chaos to control the army in his own hands."

"You also have to sort out Chao Gang and show your abilities to Da Chu."
