God-level Great Hunjun System

"Crack, clap!" At this moment, Yan Hao couldn't help applauding Su Hong: "What General Su said is very true, everyone should have the awareness of General Su. What is there to be afraid of mere Huns, I want you to guarantee that in three years Within, the Xiongnu will be destroyed!"

Chapter 24

As soon as this remark came out, the audience suddenly started whispering again.It's no wonder that Yan Hao, a new recruit, came up and said that I would destroy the Huns, and it only took three years. Who would believe it.If it wasn't for his status as the emperor, the audience might burst into laughter at this moment!

"But Your Majesty, General Qi Yun said that the military pay of the Longwu Army guarding Shanhaiguan has been in arrears for several months. The morale of the soldiers is low, and the enthusiasm for fighting is very low. If the military pay is not paid, I am afraid that we will not wait for the Huns to come. It will collapse without a fight.”

Seeing that Yan Hao couldn't stop the car once he was bragging, Chen Lei, deputy envoy of Shumi, couldn't help but pour cold water on Yan Hao who was bragging about Haikou in court.

"Arrears of military pay?" Yan Hao's expression changed immediately.

No matter which dynasty or generation, arrears of military pay is one of the most terrifying things for a country.Without him, soldiers are the core force for defending the country. If you can't maintain this force reasonably and normally, how far will the country degenerate?What's more, the army owed to the army is still famous. The Longwu Army guarding the northern border. If these masters get angry and let the Huns go south, won't it mean a repeat of the scene when Wu Sangui let the Qing soldiers enter the pass?

"What's going on here!" Yan Hao patted the dragon chair again, "Where is Da Si Nong?!"

Under the anger of the emperor, the big minister Zhang Feng hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgive your sins!"

Poor guy was named and praised as a meritorious minister yesterday, and even took a beautiful woman home in his arms, and today he will bear Yan Hao's anger in court.

"You said, what's going on!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that our Taifu Temple intentionally defaulted on the army's salaries, but the fact that the national treasury was depleted for years and we couldn't make ends meet. Our treasury was so poor. We have to split the existing money into two petals and spend it on the most important places. The old minister also knows that we are in arrears. The salaries of the army are bad, but it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!"

"In addition to the military pay of the Longwu Army, the military pay of the Green Willow Camp in the southwest, and the yearly rewards of the vassal kings in the northwest, the 28 embankments on the Jiangnan East Road cannot be repaired...they need money everywhere, and the veterans can't afford it! "

Zhang Feng complained endlessly to Yan Hao about his suffering.

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Yan Hao was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, but this was not over yet, another minister came out and knelt down on the ground immediately:

"Your Majesty, regarding the emptiness of the treasury, the minister, the minister, and the servant, Ge Jianzhang, also has a report to report."

"Tell me what you say." Yan Hao waved his hand helplessly, blessings are unparalleled, misfortunes never come singly, he will see how many troubles he will encounter today.

"Your Majesty, due to the flood in Jizhou, the people starved to death and were displaced from their homes. They urgently needed a lot of money and food for disaster relief, but they were unable to arrive. If things go on like this, there will be a possibility of people's revolt! The minister has repeatedly applied to Lord Zhang for money, but Lord Zhang has already left the treasury empty. For the reason of refusal, I would like to ask Master Zhang why the treasury is always empty, and where does all the money in the treasury go?!" Ge Jianzhang looked at Zhang Feng after saying that.

"You!" Zhang Feng pointed at Ge Jianzhang, his nose crooked with anger.

"Your Majesty, this minister has done his best for Wei in his whole life. He has been diligent and diligent since he took charge of the treasury, and he admits that he has a clear conscience. Mr. Ge's remarks are probably not insinuating, but with sinister intentions!"

Yan Hao was in pain for a while. Before the matter was resolved, the two ministers fought first.

"Stop, stop!" Yan Hao said helplessly.

"Master Zhang, please tell me why the national treasury is empty, and where did the collected taxes go?" Yan Hao asked Zhang Feng.

"Well..." Zhang Feng glanced at Yan Hao with a troubled expression, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Chapter 25

"Zhang Aiqing, just say it according to your thinking, you are not guilty!" Although Yan Hao did not have a clear grasp of the specific situation, he could vaguely think of the reasons, so he waved his hand to signal Zhang Feng to let go of the speech. .

"Hey, Your Majesty, this matter is complicated. To put it simply, on the one hand, the revenue of the national treasury has been decreasing year by year, and the main reason is that during the period when Quartz Lang was in control of the government, he only cared about making money for himself, regardless of the overall situation of the government, which led me to various industries in the government. Abandoned, coupled with the continuous natural disasters in recent years, the harvest has dropped sharply, and officials at all levels have to deduct heavily, and in the end, the tax on their hands is less than one tenth."

"On the other hand, expenses have grown rapidly. Well, this...is related to the excessive number of redundant officials in the DPRK and the excessive number of idle soldiers who spend their salaries... It is also related to the annual rewards of the feudal towns and the heavy gifts of diplomatic relations..." The more Zhang Feng said, the more hesitant, the more he said, the more he dodged.

It's no wonder that many of what he said were sensitive issues, some of which were persistent.Everyone knows it, but no one dares to say it, and does not want to say it, because it will offend the interests of many people. It is even more laborious to reform, and no one wants to go into this muddy water.

Yan Hao saw that all the ministers lowered their heads like ostriches, sighed and asked again: "Then Zhang Aiqing, how much money is needed to fill the current deficit in the national treasury?"

Zhang Feng hesitated and replied, "About 5000 million taels of silver."

"So what is the current annual revenue of the treasury?"

"About 6000 million taels of silver."

Let me go, Yan Hao scolded his mother in his heart at this time, that is to say, the country can make up for the deficit without spending anything for a year, this hole is bigger than the sky!

"Then let's solve the urgent problem of unpaid wages first, as well as the disaster relief money and food in Jizhou. How much will it cost at least?"

"It will cost at least 2000 million taels of silver to make up the military salaries owed by various places. For the disaster relief in Jizhou, the food gap is converted into the disaster relief fund at the current market price of each stone of grain. It is estimated that 500 million taels of silver will be needed."

"How much can we pay now?"

"This..." Zhang Feng trembled for a moment, as if he was afraid to answer this question, and finally answered tremblingly under Yan Hao's cannibalistic gaze: "Three... three..."

"300 million taels?" Yan Hao asked anxiously.

"3000 taels."

"I'll blow your lungs!" Yan Hao burst into foul language in court.

The national treasury is still losing so much money, and Yan Hao, who was thinking about ordering Taifu Temple to pay for Jiangzuo Temple to build a wine pool and meat forest, did not dare to say this in court.

After all, although he is thick-skinned, if he really asks about this under such circumstances, I am afraid that he will be drowned in the saliva of the officials.

However, in order to have a clear idea in his mind, Yan Hao still kept Da Sinonong Zhang Feng and Dongchang palm seal Xu Kun after the court meeting was over.

"Zhang Aiqing, I want to ask you something."

Zhang Feng has a big belly, broad chest and thick ears, and looks a bit like a corrupt official who devours the fat and fat of the people.But Yan Hao looked at his loyalty, and if it is above 90, he should not be a corrupt official.Judging from the performance in the court, this guy also dared to tell the truth, dared to do analysis, and he was actually a good helper.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Zhang Feng said respectfully.

"I want to build such a garden, you see how much it will cost."

"First of all, we have to build a magnificent and magnificent attic called Lutai, which is probably this high... Then there will be a big pool next to Lutai, which is full of fine wine, you can jump in and drink and take a bath. The fine wine in the pool is every day. There is a forest next to the wine pond, the scenery is beautiful, the branches are covered with marinated dried meat and all kinds of exquisite food, and the beauties can play and play in the forest..."

It took Yan Hao a lot of words to describe the items that meet the requirements of the task, but Zhang Feng was already dumbfounded after hearing it.He felt that his three views had been dealt a devastating blow. After all, no monarch in the history of the Wei Dynasty had ever created such extravagant things, let alone such a request when the country was in a difficult situation.Immediately, Yan Hao's image in Zhang Feng's heart has become an incomparable Dahunjun, the kind that no one has ever seen before.

"This, if it's as His Majesty said, I think it will take tens of thousands of manpower and tens of thousands of silver to create these things."

Yan Hao nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Chapter 26 Beauty Reminder

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Feng suddenly knelt down and said: "The old minister dared to ask the emperor not to build a wine pond and meat forest. My Great Wei's treasury can't afford it, not to mention that even if the treasury can afford it, it may not be too much for Your Majesty to build such a luxurious place. appropriate……"

Yan Hao smiled, this old guy is really a qualified butler, when it comes to spending money, even the emperor dared to refuse.

"Zhang Aiqing, don't worry, although I enjoy pleasure, I am not ignorant of the hardships of people's livelihood. I will not build this thing until our national treasury is full." Yan Hao patted Zhang Feng's shoulder and said, Zhang Feng was relieved , Beads of sweat had already slid down the chubby face.

"By the way, Eunuch Xu, weren't you responsible for checking the Quartz Lang Mansion before, and how much money did you find in total?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the total amount of gold and silver treasures found is about 500 million taels of silver."

"I'll go, there are so many!" Yan Hao was taken aback.

It seems that some ministers in the DPRK really took advantage of their power to steal a lot of things. If they can seize the property that these people have embezzled privately, it will probably be a lot of money.Yan Hao thought thoughtfully.
