But now, the meeting hall is eerily quiet, and even the auxiliary officials and inner eunuchs dare not speak out

Fortunately, Wang Zhongzheng came back in time...

"Going back to the official's house, the empress is not very clear about it. She only found out about it after asking the steward in the empress dowager's palace. I found out clearly..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Anshi. Wang Zhongzheng was too afraid to glare at the chief minister of the cabinet. He just expressed his emotions and let the officials know his loyalty.

Don't even think about it. When the official family was still in the East Palace, they had money and food comparable to the imperial court. Who would care about the rags of the pile storage?When did the empress worry about money and food?

Now that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has enough money and food to support this war, who would think of closing the pile warehouse?

"Then let's take a look together, I am also curious about the pile storage..."

A group of people, officials, the cabinet, and the chief officials of the household department and other related yamen were also summoned, and they entered the inner garden in a mighty manner.

"Tao Niang..." I didn't expect Tao Niang to be waiting here.

When all the elders met with the queen, they turned their heads away one by one.

The minds of these people...

"What? Worried about the money and food in the inner treasury?"

This embarrassment needs to be resolved, so Zhao Xi can only tell Tao Niang like this.

"Officials, this is my concubine's omission. I haven't paid attention to the sealed pile warehouse for many years. I really don't know the details. I originally wanted to find out first, and then report to the official."

It's just so grand, Neiyuan didn't even care about closing the piling storehouse!

"What's the matter?"

Wang Anshi couldn't help but be amazed when he entered the sealed pile warehouse.

Even Zhao Xi, when he saw the situation in the so-called closed stake library, wanted to ask: How could this be?

I thought it was full of piles, but what caught my eye was sparse jewels, gold and jade, which is not what I imagined, the scene of gold, silk, pearls and jade filling the warehouse...

This is the sealed pile library where all the treasures of all the separatist forces were raided?Is this going to redeem Yanyun, or recruit warriors to recover Yanyun's money?

To be honest, not to mention the imperial court, even the businessmen with a small scale in the imperial court can't be interested in seeing such a situation.

Chapter 928

Seeing such a situation, everyone present was surprised!And the most embarrassing thing is the empress.

Tao Niang's face is ashen...

"Zhongzheng, order my relatives to strictly investigate who has tampered with the sealed pile warehouse. Let me find out, no matter who is involved, I will definitely kill anyone!"

This is the treasure that the Taizu kept to recover Yanyun. When the court was preparing to recover Yanyun, that is, when the money and food in the sealed pile storehouse were needed, the remaining amount of the piled pile storehouse was pitifully small, which was totally different from imagination.

As the manager of the inner garden, Tao Niang was really annoyed.

Since the third brother started making cakes, he has never treated everyone in the inner garden badly.From the internal eunuchs, the personal servants of the Imperial City Department, to the maids and servants in various palaces, he has never treated anyone badly.

Tao Niang has always followed the teaching of the third brother: don't treat the people around you badly, and don't indulge the people around you, you must take good care of the people around you.

I didn't expect that I would make a mistake in such a big event as closing the pile warehouse, and it was still such a big mistake.

In front of important court officials, Tao Niang was really annoyed!

Since the Empress Dowager wants to investigate strictly, the cabinet members will stop talking.There is not much money, and it is the inner garden's business, so there is no need to over-participate.

"Tao Niang, forget it! Zhongzheng..."

"The official family, it's my concubine's dereliction of duty. I never thought that there would be such a thing of guarding and stealing in the inner garden today. I am asking the official family to come down."

If the officials say they won't investigate, then they won't.Tao Niang thought that the officials were trying to save face for her.However, she still needs to plead guilty.

At the moment of major events, there should be no disharmony between the cabinet and the officials.

"There is no sin or guilt, and there is no self-stealing..."

Official this is?As for the protection of the inner garden to such an extent?Zhuge Lao didn't say anything, but he still had doubts.

"Everyone, please see, apart from the footprints of this visitor, are there any other imprints here? Look at the dust, at least a dozen or 20 years ago, otherwise it would not have accumulated so thickly."

"As for the footprints, except for the traces of this time, there is no difference in other places. That is to say, no one has been here for a long time before entering the sealed pile storage this time."

At this time, everyone focused their attention on the scene of the entire pile closure warehouse.Indeed, except for the traces of their group, the other places are the same. The thick dust has covered the original sun of things, not to mention the ground.

The dust on the ground was so thick that dust would be kicked up every time one stepped on it. Except for their location, everything else was the same, and there was no sign of anyone ever coming.

"Someone bring the account book, notify the third envoy, and send someone to count the items with Neiyuan, compare it with the account book records in the early years, check and check the collection of the sealed pile warehouse..."

Let's call it a collection, it's pitifully rare.

This is the capital that Emperor Taizong had planned to redeem in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Now even the quarterly tax revenue of the city of Bianliang is not as good as it is, and even the wealthy families with a little bit of industry in the country have no less wealth than here.

Back in the meeting room again, no one spoke, they were all waiting for the final count of the pile closures, wondering why this was the case.

"Officials, during the first emperor's time, the court borrowed money and food from the first emperor several times when the court was in trouble. The veterans knew about it, but they didn't expect such a result. Twice, money and food were sent from the inner treasury to ease the crisis of the court. The total did not exceed ten. Wan Guan, it won’t reach this level.”

Wang Anshi also remembered that it was when he had just entered the court, took over the three envoys, and led the court to support the government.

The year-old coins given to Beiliao in the past were the ones that the princes persuaded the late emperor to withdraw...

"Let's count down first, money or something is not important."

The current imperial court has such confidence.Zhao Xi really didn't care about these, as he could imagine.

In the original inner court, even the rewards of the inner court eunuchs, maids, and servants were all taken by the empress from him.It was only from him that the inner court of the Song Dynasty began to change. It was also from him that the servants of the inner court had the confidence to refuse the temptation from the outside, and they were loyal to the royal family from the bottom of their hearts.

It's all about money!

"That's it?"

When the inventory amount was reported, even Zhang Dun, who didn't care much about these trivial matters, couldn't help but exclaimed.Really shouldn't!

This is a closed pile warehouse... It's really incredible that there are only reserves with a price of less than 50 guan.

"I remember the Taizu records that when the dynasty opened, the treasures of the various separatist forces were collected into the pile treasury. For the first time, there was a volume of 50 guan, and then the court tax revenue was collected year by year to make up for it. I thought there would be hundreds of millions. That's right."

It's not polite at all to have a bloated stomach.How should I put it, even if their current cabinet has not made great achievements in opening up territories, the achievements made by the current state are incomparable to previous ones.

At this time, the tax income of any Shangzhou is comparable to the tax income of Yiyilu in the early years. The real thing is Guotai Minan, and Vientiane is renewed.

"Old Mr. Wen may know a lot..."
