My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 504 The Surprise Brought by Chao Gai

The so-called "Is there any king in the world", the emperor was rich everywhere, but in history the emperor's private property was strictly separated from the national treasury, and royal expenditures were not allowed to be transferred from the national treasury at will, so ancient emperors would save some "private money".

Wang Lin is no exception.

The emperor's private property is called "internal money", and there is a position in the Sangong Jiuqing called "Shaofu", which is dedicated to managing royal wealth.

The royal ceremonies are complicated, and the huge court expenses are also a huge amount. These huge expenses need to be borne by the royal private treasury.

So, what is the source of the emperor's nephew?

One is the royal industry with various names.

The second is tax cuts.Taking the ancient poll tax as an example, newborn babies in the Han Dynasty had to pay a poll tax of 25 coins, of which 20 coins went to the royal family and 5 coins went to the state treasury.

In addition, after the monopoly of salt and iron, a large part of the income of salt administration and foundry in various places also came from the royal family.

In most cases, the emperor's internal funds were strictly separated from the state treasury.

Especially in the former Song Dynasty, the royal family was full of funds, but the emperor had no right to use these "private money" at will.

The number of hidden private treasuries is only known by the Ministry of Households, and the emperor cannot casually find out how much money is in his private treasury.

This is a manifestation of the decline of imperial power in the former Song Dynasty.

After Wang Lin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it was natural that the first reformer was the nephew.

Wang Lin set up another "small treasury" within the concubine.

The normal nephew is used for the normal expenses of the emperor and the royal family, and Wang Lin will not use it.But the emperor's real daughter-in-law, the household department has no right to interfere.

In view of the fact that after Wang Lin proclaimed the emperor, the palace expenses were greatly reduced, and the imperial concubine was often used by the Ministry of Households as a coordinator and the national treasury.

However, the wealth of Wang Lin's daughter-in-law is beyond the imagination of the world.

Wang Lin can be regarded as the richest emperor of the Han Dynasty in hundreds of years.

The Bohai Company controlled by Murong Wan'er has been reorganized as a Royal Company as a whole. As the largest source of income for the nephew, if the Ministry of Accounting knows the true strength of the Bohai Company, the courtiers and Chinese officials will definitely chatter and ask Wang Lin to contribute to the treasury.

Lu Junyi intends to contribute the Lu family's property to the emperor, that is, merge it into the royal firm controlled by Murong Wan'er.

palace.

Royal study.

Lu Junyi's playlist was handed over, and Wang Lin read it with a smile on his face.

As expected, Lu Junyi did not disappoint him.

And he did not misread Lu Junyi as expected.

This person generously donates money, he is indeed a rare hero in the world.

Zhu Lian, who accompanied the emperor to deal with complicated state affairs, was moved.

Lu Junyi is the richest man in Hebei and even in Dayan, and everyone in the world knows the huge wealth of the Lu family.But with such wealth, Lu Junyi was about to dedicate it to the emperor with a wave of his hand. This man has a heart beyond the reach of others.

Zhu Lian also understood that Lu Junyi was acting like this to show the emperor his determination to be loyal to Dayan and the emperor.

Zhu Lian said lightly: "Your Majesty, Lu Yuanwai is indeed a hero in the world, he treats money like dung, with such a heart and mind, he really deserves the title of Jade Qilin."

Wang Lin smiled slightly: "Lu Yuanwai is a smart man. He is an important minister to me. In the future, a duke or even a prince will be indispensable. He has no heirs. Why do he need such a big family business?
Since Yuanwai Lu is so forthright, I can't be stingy anymore.Come here, pass on my will, choose ten young and beautiful women from all the Mongolian tribes, and give them to Lu Yuanwai as concubines.Tell them, whoever gives birth to Lu Yuanwai's heir, I will confer the order of the second rank, and also confer the title of earl on his son, who will inherit Lu Yuanwai's family business in the future. "

Zhu Lian was stunned, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty...the concubine has heard that Lu Yuanwai is not a womanizer..."

"Let's take it as fulfilling my will. Go and pass on my oral order to member Lu. If he doesn't give birth to an heir as soon as possible, he will defy the order!"

……

A group of palace ladies and ten gorgeous and beautiful Mongolian girls went to the Lu Mansion in a mighty manner. After announcing the emperor's will and oral instructions, Lu Junyi was a little surprised.

Also present at the time were Yan Qing, his wife and the old housekeeper Lu Zhong.

Yanqing and his wife heard that Lu Junyi dedicated all his family assets to the emperor's wife, guessed Lu Junyi's kindness and hard work, so they came to see each other.

The female officer, Shangguan, swept a glance at Lu Junyi, held back a smile and said: "General Lu, Your Majesty said that if you don't give birth to an heir as soon as possible, you will be disobeying the order, and His Majesty will never forgive you lightly."

Lu Junyi smiled wryly and bowed: "I obey the order!"

A group of Yingying and Yanyan entered Lu's house, and the most embarrassing one was Lu Junyi's successor, the Sun family.

She was quite upset, but she didn't dare to show it.

From now on, Lu Junyi will serve as imperial concubine.

until the birth of an offspring.

Lu Junyi is usually not a womanizer, he only concentrates on practicing martial arts and leads soldiers in the army. Although Sun's marriage lasted for two years, the actual time the two actually had sex was very little.

Speaking of which, the fact that the Jia family had an affair with Li Gu back then was actually due to Lu Junyi's neglect of her.

But being not good at women doesn't mean you have no ability.

Wang Lin knows that many people in Water Margin are like this, such as Chao Gai, Song Jiang... It seems that except for the short-legged tiger Wang Ying, the labels of Liangshan heroes are "dislike women".

That's why Wang Lin deliberately issued a verbal order with a "joyful" color. The meaning was that he didn't want to see Lu Junyi die.

The news that the emperor helped Lu Junyi take concubines was naturally spread in Zhending as a good story, and at the same time, it was praised by the world as a model of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

……

Time is fleeting, Zhengdan and Shangyuan Festival have passed in a blink of an eye, and the spring of the second year of Fuxing has entered. The world has warmed up and everything has been renewed.

In the palace room, Bortai was like a happy oriole, surrounding Xiulan and constantly chattering about what she had seen, played, and eaten these days. A hot topic in the palace.

Bo Ertai even showed off some snacks and gadgets brought back from outside the palace to Xiu Lan, and there was a faint wry smile on Xiu Lan's gentle face.

The relationship between Bo Ertai and the emperor has progressed beyond her imagination.

Bortai was not only favored by the emperor, but also recognized by Zhu Lian and other women. During these two months of getting along, she has already become a frequent visitor in the palaces of all women.

In addition, Boertai is also the concubine who is allowed to enter and leave the emperor's study room, except for Zhu Lian and Song's Shuangshu.

Compared with Bo'ertai, Xiulan has lived the past two months peacefully, indifferently but with a touch of loneliness, hardly interacting with other women.

Since the first routine favor, the emperor has never touched her again.

Seeing the Boer Terrace coming in and out of laughter every day, Xiulan didn't know what it was like.

Xiulan said quietly: "Sister Bo'ertai, you are so noisy every day, and His Majesty is also pampering you, but after a long time, there may be some rumors from inside and outside the palace."

Boertai smiled and said: "Sister Xiulan, Your Majesty said that I am... not concerned about the details, but understand the general situation."

Xiulan was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Sister Boertai, if His Majesty conquers Mongolia again in the future, slaughters our people, and occupies our grassland, will you still be so happy?"

Bortai's pretty face changed slightly, but she still smiled and said, "Sister Xiulan, your thoughts are too serious. Your Majesty told me that the world is big enough to accommodate us Mongolians. Look at the current Khitan Man, but is it doing well?
Besides, sister Xiulan, we girls on the grassland don't know the law of the jungle.Our Borjijin tribe, without the support of Dayan, will sooner or later be annexed by the Qiyan tribe or your Tatar tribe. At that time, can you Tatars still show mercy to us Borjijin?

In recent years, the various tribes of Mongolia have been fighting endlessly. Are there still few tribesmen who died?

Your Tatar tribe belongs to the Kingdom of Jin. How old are the slaves of cattle, sheep and horses that the Jin people asked for?But Dayan never asked for a sheep from our Borjijin and Qiyan tribes, but gave us back a piece of fat summer pasture.

His Majesty said that when the summer grass grows and the warblers fly, he will take me to Wuchuan Ranch, which will be our summer ranch for Borjijin. "

Xiu Lan's face was moved, but she was speechless.

She didn't expect that Bo Ertai, who seemed innocent and romantic, would be able to say such a truth.

Influenced by the emperor?
……

Zhending, full of spring, is still noisy, and the fertile fields outside the city are busy with spring plowing.

With the red sun in the sky and the warm spring breeze, Yan Qing excitedly brought a middle-aged man in his thirties into the palace and straight into the imperial study.

Before Yang Yizhong could go to report, he saw that the emperor had already greeted him with a loud smile, and even shouted: "Dean Dai, are you okay?"

This person is Dai Zong, the Supreme Protector of Shenxing.

Dai Zong was sent overseas by Wang Lin as a deputy general in Chao Gai's army. This time Dai Zong returned to China, he must have brought news of Chao Gai.

Dai Zong gathered himself together, and bowed down: "The last general Dai Zong, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

Wang Lin chuckled: "Forget it, let's go, Xiao Yi, let's go in and talk!"

In the imperial study room, Dai Zong detailed the overseas development of Chao Gai and his group.

At that time, Chao Gai was ordered to lead the three heroes of the Ruan family in Liangshan, with Liangshan minions as the main force, to sail from Dengzhou to harass the Kingdom of Jin and the coastal countries in the name of pirates.

Within a year, Chao Gai's subordinates had established the name of Nuoda overseas, not only had a place to stay, but also laid down a piece of Nuoda's foundation.

Today, Chao Gai's pirates number as many as [-]. With the Yan people as the backbone, they have gathered a large number of Khitans who fled to the sea, as well as the Koreans who volunteered to join, and the barbarians from various countries conquered by Chao Gai across the southeast sea.

On an overseas map he carried, Dai Zong pointed Wang Lin to the two overseas strongholds of Chao Gai's troops. One was obviously the coast of Koryo, with Wang Lin's enclave as the center.

There is another one, an island about hundreds of nautical miles south from the coast of Koryo.

Wang Lin leaned over and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes became bright. If he remembered correctly, this place should be Kyushu Island in Japan!
Chao Gai's overseas activities led by his troops were originally a step-by-step move planned by Wang Lin in advance to seek a way out in the future.

But unexpectedly, Chao Gai gave him a big surprise.
