Great Wei scholar

"Return to Your Majesty! This time, after a careful investigation by the Ministry of Household Affairs, this time the merchants rebelled, the house was seized to pay taxes, and the current silver was [-] million taels, and the assets were [-] million taels. All of them were transported to the national treasury."

Gu Yan's voice sounded.

His words are eloquent.

how many years.

how many years.

I can finally speak out loud like this.

Over the years, whether it is His Majesty or other officials, whenever money is mentioned, his first reaction is to bow his head and shut up, because the treasury has no money.

These military officers are clamoring for the Northern Expedition, Bei your uncle, where did you get the money for the Northern Expedition?You change to me?

There are also other departments, such as the Ministry of Punishment needs to increase manpower, the Ministry of Rites needs money, and a lot of things, this requires money, nowhere else needs money, can the money in my household department be converted?

Well now, I have money in the household department.

I have a showdown, I'm a billionaire.

Gu Yan was a little proud, he raised his head, and looked at the crowd at this moment, inexplicably feeling that they were all a bunch of common people.

"hiss!"

Just after Gu Yan finished speaking, the sound of taking a breath rang out instantly.

The ministers were all astonished and couldn't believe it was true.

Except for the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, everyone else was shocked.

Seventy million taels of silver.

There are also fertile land assets worth [-] million taels.

Several princes couldn't help muttering to themselves.

"These fan merchants are so rich? I knew I would kill them earlier, so why worry about no money for the Northern Expedition?"

"No wonder nephew Qingxiao would trouble these fan merchants. So he already knew that these fan merchants are so rich? Regret, regret not knowing earlier, and I'll cut it off sooner."

"Seventy million taels, is this enough for the Northern Expedition?"

The military officers couldn't help discussing one by one, they were really shocked by this astronomical figure.

As for the civil servants, they spoke immediately.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites stepped out immediately and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, now that the national treasury is in surplus, I beg Your Majesty to allocate funds to the Ministry of Rites. Firstly, it is to prepare for His Majesty's birthday. Secondly, the official uniforms of the palace and civil and military officials, the royal guard of honor, etc. need to be replaced recently to welcome the new dynasty. A year of change."

"My lord, I implore Your Majesty."

The Minister of Rites is the most thief, knowing that he has money, he hastened to ask for money.

"How much do you need?"

The Empress said calmly.

Maybe it was rich, the Empress did not evade this question, but asked directly.

"Not much, five million taels will do."

Wang Xinzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said a number.

As soon as he said this, Gu Yan's voice sounded.

"Five million taels? Why do you need so much silver taels? I can wait for official uniforms and royal ceremonial guards for a while, and they are not too old. Now that I finally have some silver taels, do I want to spend them indiscriminately?"

When Gu Yan said this astronomical figure, he was proud of it, but if you asked him to take the money, he still couldn't bear it.

Finally, the treasury was full, so he was reluctant to give money.

"No, Gu Shangshu, what do you mean by that? Your Majesty's birthday, envoys from all over the world come, all kinds of rewards are not silver taels? Besides, if the envoys come, if we still wear the old government and use old things, what will people think of it?" us?"

"Besides, I don't want much. It's only 500 million taels. My lords, please comment. Is it too much?"

When Wang Xinzhi opened his mouth, he didn't think his asking price was too high.

"Five million taels is too much. Your Majesty, if I don't agree, I will give you 500 taels at most. After we kill the merchants, we will give rewards to these envoys? Isn't this disgusting to others? Don't give it this time, let's talk about it next time."

Gu Yan directly marked down the price, 500 million taels is definitely not enough, 50 taels, save some money.

"Hiss! Gu Shangshu, you are really a miser. The old man asked for 500 million taels, and you directly pressed me to 50 taels? What are you doing with 50 taels?"

"300 million taels is the lowest. If you don't give it, you have to give it. If you don't give it, this old man dares to say in front of His Majesty that in the future, you will use the worst and oldest things in your household department."

Wang Xinzhi also lost his temper.

Seventy million taels of silver!Brother, seventy million taels, I want five million taels, is that much?Not much at all, okay?

"That's fine, then I won't give you a tael. Oh, Mr. Wang is really a good person. He can send old clothes without giving the tael. I'm here to thank Mr. Wang on behalf of the household department."

At this moment, Gu Yan suddenly changed drastically. When he mentioned Yinliang, he was completely different.

It's okay to show off that the treasury has money!

Let the treasury pay?Sorry, please lie down and get out of my eyes.

"you!"

"you!"

Wang Xinzhi pointed at Gu Yan, his arms trembling.

"Stop arguing."

"The coming of envoys from all nations is a big event. Let's allocate 200 million taels. The royal guard of honor doesn't need to be replaced. As for official robes and the like, they can be replaced if they are above the fourth rank, but not for those below the fourth rank."

The empress opened her mouth and allocated 200 million yuan to be a peacemaker. She also felt that 500 million yuan was a bit much, but 50 yuan was not enough, and 200 million yuan was almost the same.

"Your Majesty! This... well, forget it, thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Wang Xinzhi felt a little uncomfortable. Two million taels was indeed not enough, but he could forget it after thinking about it. Anyway, it was still early, and the big deal would be to wear it down slowly.

After the Minister of the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, Chen Zhengru, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out immediately.

"Your Majesty, since the Ministry of Rites has allocated 200 million taels, I hope that His Majesty will allocate some to the Ministry of Officials. It's not to increase the salaries of officials. It's just that in the past three years, the salaries of officials in various places have been extremely low, and there is no reward for silver taels. Now that the Mid-Moon Festival is approaching, it might as well Reward a group of officials, and send some gifts, such as grain and oil, to all the officials of the Great Wei Dynasty."

When Chen Zhengru opened his mouth, he didn't say that he would increase the wages of officials all over the world. It would definitely not work if the wages were raised. Wei's sudden wealth does not mean that he can collect so much money every year.

If there are so many silver taels every year, then the salary can indeed be raised.

"How much does Aiqing need?"

The Empress asked calmly.

"Chen, don't want too much, 5000 million taels."

Chen Zhengru said without blushing.

Civil and military officials: "..."

Empress: "..."

Good guy, good guy, good guy, what is a lion's mouth open?This is called the lion's mouth wide open.

5000 million taels?All the officials in the whole Wei Dynasty will post it once, probably not so much, right?

This is equivalent to an extra month's salary.

"Master Chen, are you serious?"

Gu Yan's words were a little weird.

"That's not true. The main thing is to leave room for bargaining. How much does Master Gu think is appropriate?"

Chen Zhengru smiled and said, he knew that he was asking a bit too much, but he couldn't do otherwise. If he really wanted to say 800 million taels, 1000 million taels, he would definitely not get it later.

It's better to directly set a sky-high price, and then let you slowly press it.

"How about 80 taels?"

After thinking about it, Gu Yan said an extremely low amount.

Chen Zhengru: "..."

80 million taels?

Are you still human? 80 taels per person divided into one or two meters as a gift for the Mid-Moon Festival?Did you send it?

"The minimum is 2000 million taels."

Chen Zhengru's expression became serious.

"One hundred and five!"

Gu Yan also became serious.

"Gu Shangshu, you are going too far. The Ministry of Rites gives 200 million taels, but my whole Ministry of Officials only gives [-] taels?"

Chen Zhengru was a little annoyed, I started to get serious, you still play this game with me?

"2000 million taels is impossible, three hundred, three hundred is the limit, and one more tael will not work, and I will not give it to death."

Gu Yan also put down his harsh words.

Just 300 million taels, no more than one tael.

"Your Majesty! Gu Shangshu is old, let him go back, I am willing to take over the responsibility of the household department."

Chen Zhengru didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, so he directly applied to the household department.

It's not bad to change the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

"okay."

"Don't argue with the two lovers, let's allocate 800 million taels to the official department, and promise to have it next year, just a little more."

The empress still neutralized and gave 800 million taels, but promised to give it next year, and it would only be more and not less.

Although there are not many, at least let the officials look forward to the Mid-Moon Festival next year.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites are about to run out of money.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment followed suit.

After some quarrels, the Ministry of Punishment sent away 70 taels and the Ministry of Industry 150 million taels.

At this moment, finally a voice sounded.

"Your Majesty! Now that the national treasury is full, can we discuss the matter of the Northern Expedition again?"

With this voice sounded.

The hall was silent for a moment.

Chapter 1 Twenty: Your Majesty!His Majesty!May!Xu Qingxiao has an eternal talent!

in the hall.

After the six parts were about to run out of money, at this moment, the generals spoke up.

A sentence of Northern Expedition made the atmosphere in the court instantly tense.

The person who spoke was a Marquis, Qu Zhouhou.

He set the tone first.

Ask the Empress if you can discuss the Northern Expedition.

I didn't discuss the Northern Expedition before. I meant that the treasury was out of money, but now there is money, right?

Can we continue the Northern Expedition?

"Lord Hou! Now the Great Wei is not suitable for the Northern Expedition. Although the treasury has silver, the Great Wei has a lot of waste to do. If the Northern Expedition is launched again, it may be an astronomical sum. Seventy million taels will not last long."

"The Northern Expedition is not going to happen, and the people's livelihood of the Great Wei is the main thing."

Gu Yan became serious, and he spoke directly, vetoing the Northern Expedition.

Yes, Great Wei now has silver taels, but the problem is that the Northern Expedition cannot be done.

Absolutely not the Northern Expedition.
