Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

His mind went blank.

The Minister of Household Affairs, Zhou Taishan, and Hao Feng were all under increased pressure, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.

"Quick... take me to the military warehouse... I want to check the military warehouse... I want to check the military warehouse..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance thought of other warehouses.

Zhou Taishan did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered Hao Feng to carry him on his back to the military depot.

The Minister of Tobe followed behind with a gloomy expression.

The money storehouse is empty, the grain storehouse is also empty!

Now it’s time to look at the arsenal!

If the arsenal is also empty...

This Nima! ! !

damn it! ! !

The Minister of Tobe is going crazy! ! !

His face became ferocious!

He was ready to run away.

This Imperial City of Yan, and even the Great Yan Empire, cannot stay any longer!

They must lead their family members to leave Yanhuang City quietly, otherwise the news of the empty treasury will leak out and no one among them will be able to escape.

Even his newly born son and his newly married concubine will be imprisoned and beheaded in public.

This Nima! !

soon.

Hao Feng carried the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue on his back and came to the gate of the military depot.

The door is open...

For the first time, Shangshu Hube felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body became stiff.

Zhou Taishan, Hao Feng, and the Minister of Household Affairs had stiff faces.

"It's over! It's completely over... It's over! It's completely over..." Shangshu of Tobe began to repeat the words in his mouth again.

Zhou Taishan's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out the water!

In addition to despair, there was still hopelessness in the eyes of several people.

"Put me down..."

Tobe Naomito's face was pale, his eyes were sluggish, and he knelt on the ground with a weak breath.

He seemed to see all his family members being led to the execution ground and their heads falling to the ground.

"Hao Feng... go to the medicinal food warehouse and see if it's empty too!" Zhou Taishan tried his best to calm down his angry mood.

Hao Feng stood up and left.

Soon.

Hao Feng came back with his head hanging down!

As soon as the three of them saw this expression, they knew that the medicine storehouse had also been looted.

"I just want to know, how do these things disappear? Who has this incredible ability?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance gradually recovered and asked with a dazed look on his face.

Zhou Taishan shook his head and said: "Only your Majesty can do this kind of thing! Moreover, even if your Majesty does it, it will spread in the palace and everyone will know it! So many coins, so much food, so many ordnance... No One person can do it!”

"So...who moved away??" Minister Tobe asked blankly.

Westerners, you look at me, I look at you, they are all silent.

Even if their bones are torn apart, they still don't know who has such incredible abilities.

"Alas! Now let's think about how to solve it!" Hao Feng lowered his head, his face lifeless, like a zombie, without any life.

"What else can we do! Inform Your Majesty immediately!" Zhou Taishan clenched his fists and said in a muffled voice.

"No!! Absolutely not possible!!" Shangshu sat up suddenly and yelled with eyes wide open.

"Why...why?"

Zhou Taishan has a relatively simple mind. He is loyal to the emperor and will report anything to His Majesty as soon as possible.

"It is your Guards who protect the treasury! Coins from the treasury were lost, food was stolen, ordnance and medicinal materials all disappeared! Who has the first connection with this?? It must be your Guards!! And you are Commander of the Imperial Guards! Once this matter reaches His Majesty’s ears, His Majesty will definitely accuse you, the leader of the Imperial Guards! If you can’t give an answer, let alone you... the entire Palace Guards, including all the Imperial Guards. Your family will all face the consequences, have you ever thought about the consequences? This is no joke!!" Tobe Naomito reminded him solemnly.

Zhou Taishan was under great pressure, "But we can't hide it from His Majesty! Besides... there are so many coins, grains, ordnance, and medicinal materials in the national treasury... I'm afraid we can't hide it! This is not our private storehouse! On weekdays, The royal kitchen and other palace expenses are all linked to the treasury! And... Disaster relief and poverty alleviation in major cities, border wars, military expenditures, etc. are all inseparable from the treasury! If we can hide it for a while now, is it possible that we can hide it for the rest of our lives? "

These words touched the sore point of everyone.

indeed.

The treasury is the lifeblood of a country.

Once the news of the empty treasury spreads out, it is estimated that the Yan Empire will collapse internally without any external attacks!

The Minister of Household Affairs sighed: "Now we have no choice! We can only pray secretly that there will be no war at the border and no disasters in the country! As long as we survive for another six months, we will be able to usher in a new round of taxation and a new round of food. Harvest! By then, we can gradually fill the national treasury through huge taxes and food collections! Only in this way can we solve the current problem!"

This is indeed a good way.

Through huge taxes and grain collection, the national treasury will be gradually filled.

"How much tax can our country collect every year? How much food can we collect?" Zhou Taishan asked in a deep voice.

"The tax is almost 2.5 million. If you increase the amount, you can get 2 million every year! For food, you can get at least 3 million every year. If you increase the collection, you can get [-] million! There is no war in our country now, and the cultivated area every year is very vast. ! Moreover, a lot of idle land can be reclaimed every year! So... as long as we survive for half a year, everything will be solved!"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance knows this very well.

He mainly controls the household department and is very knowledgeable about food and taxation.

"That's great!" Zhou Taishan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The Minister of Household Affairs continued: "With these grains and coins, we can temporarily pile them at the door! It can create the illusion of a mountain! Even if His Majesty comes to inspect, it will be difficult to notice! In less than three years, the treasury will be It becomes full at once! As long as it doesn’t bottom out and doesn’t increase the output, His Majesty won’t notice!”

"What about weapons and medicinal materials? These two are no joke!" Zhou Taishan asked.

"I will be responsible for these! The Ministry of War will send a large amount of ordnance every quarter! Just last month, a large amount of equipment was sent. I filled the arsenal and refused to escort it for the time being! Now that the arsenal is empty, I will let them send it immediately come over!"

The Minister of Revenue said: "As for the medicinal materials...if the palace needs them, we will purchase them from outside! Try to avoid spreading empty news to His Majesty!"

Zhou Taishan was silent for a while and said: "Let's not talk about medicinal materials and weapons. The question is money... can we survive for half a year? And... the monthly expenses of the palace are very large! How should we deal with this money?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue racked his brains and thought for a while before saying: "There have been no large-scale banquets in the palace recently! Even if there are... we will use the treasury inventory as the reason, and it is inconvenient to spend for the time being! As for the purchase of the imperial dining room... we will also use the treasury inventory as the reason. , let’s let them take credit outside for now!”
