The emperor was very excited: "I have as much as you want, sister. Tell me quickly."

What a joke! He is the rich emperor, the whole world belongs to him, so a mere silver is nothing to him.

"emperor……"

Empress Xie glanced at him and said tactfully, "You said you wanted to give Chun Ning a dowry, and you gave her a large sum of money. I'm afraid the money in the inner treasury is not enough now."

When Dajing was first established, it learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty's demise and separated the national treasury from the emperor's private treasury.

The private warehouse is divided into two warehouses, the left and the right.

The output of the imperial farms, taxes on imperial merchants, tributes, as well as the gifts from officials on festivals or the emperor and empress's birthdays, all went into the Zuo Ku.

The Right Treasury was responsible for expenditures, such as rewards given by the emperor to his ministers and vassal states, repair and maintenance of the imperial palace, and the expenses of the emperor's eating, drinking and entertainment whenever he pleased.

The private treasury was managed by an eunuch who was highly trusted by the emperor. The current chief manager was appointed by the empress dowager and assisted by Empress Xie.

At the founding of the country, the emperor's private treasury was the most abundant. All the gold, silver and jewelry in the previous dynasty's palace were directly deposited into the private treasury, and designated imperial farms provided a steady supply of output.

However, maintaining such a huge palace requires considerable annual expenditure.

When the emperor rewards his subjects, he can't be stingy, right?

From generation to generation, today's private treasury is mainly supported by taxes and tributes paid by imperial merchants.

Fortunately, the emperor of the day is not fond of luxury and ostentation, and he does not build a grand palace at every turn. This allows the private treasury to operate smoothly without having to ask for money from the national treasury.

The emperor has always been impatient with these mundane affairs. He only knows how to reward generously and has never lacked money.

Hearing this now, I think it is the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"not enough?"

The emperor was so surprised that he raised his voice: "I, am I still short of money?"

Qin Yaoguang held his forehead.

Should we say that her brother, the emperor, is simple or naive?

Who said the emperor has no shortage of money?

Empress Xie couldn't bear to see him sad, so she comforted him, "Your Majesty, it's not that you are short of money, it's just that the expenditure is too large, so it's not enough."

Qin Yaoguang was happy in her heart, and she managed to suppress the smile by drinking tea.

Never mind. It’s a good thing that my brother has someone who truly loves him.

But Empress Xie looked at her and motioned for her to say something: "Imperial sister, don't you think so?"

Qin Yaoguang almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

No, you feel sorry for your husband, so why did you call me over?

No, my brother doesn’t even know how much money he has. Isn’t it you who spoiled him like that?

She swallowed the tea with great fortitude, and then said, "What the Queen said is true, but I didn't expect the Emperor to give all the money."

In Qin Yaoguang's plan, she just needed to use the emperor's name to do things, not to find a financial sponsor.

"That is?"

Queen Xie was quite confused.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "After lunch, I'll let Shuangjiang explain it in detail, and you'll understand."

It can't be explained in a few words. If we delay any longer, the food will get cold.

Food is the first necessity of the people, and this princess also needs to eat.

"Come, eat, eat."

The emperor was always open-minded. He was the first to respond to Qin Yaoguang's suggestion and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

The food on the table was still so appetizing and he ate it with relish.

Compared with the emperor, Empress Xie was obviously worried and ate her meal absent-mindedly.

She was a worrying person to begin with, and now that she had something on her mind, how could she concentrate on eating?

The emperor was obviously very happy when he came, but he was still thinking about the matters in the inner treasury.

After finally finishing lunch, the three of them rinsed their mouths with fragrant tea. Qin Yaoguang then called Shuangjiang up and explained the plan to the emperor and empress.

Shuangjiang was holding a large booklet in his hand, which was convenient for display. Inside it were plans written in colored dip pens.

If there is no PPT or projector, just adapt to local conditions.

The main content is written in black ink, important parts are bolded and enlarged, annotations are marked in red pen, and other colors such as green and purple are used for other parts that require special explanation.

Qin Yaoguang only told Shuangjiang about her idea. The finished product she made surprised her, as it was very similar to the exquisite notebooks she had seen in modern times.

Once the booklet is opened, it looks pleasing to the eye.

It is clear at a glance, well-organized and highlights the key points.

As soon as he had this idea, Qin Yaoguang ordered Shuangjiang to start making preparations.

Most of the adjustments discussed with Yan Yuanan and Yan Shiyan yesterday were reflected in her memorial, and the shareholding plan remained basically unchanged.

It is not easy to achieve such a detailed level in just a few days. Shuangjiang stayed up all night for several days to achieve today's results.

When Shuangjiang opened the booklet, both the emperor and the empress showed amazement in their eyes.

The emperor praised it generously, flipping through several pages himself, and repeatedly praised it, saying, "If memorials could be written like this, I would not be unable to read them."

Simply a work of art!

Those memorials were all the same, and even if they were written in tiny calligraphy, reading them too much would make people sleepy.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I spent five days writing Shuangjiang, and I only stopped when the cock crowed every day."

The emperor thinks of this one thing at a time. Don't think this is a good thing. If he asks his ministers to roll up their clothes in this style, wouldn't he be annoying?

Although this method is novel, it is not suitable for daily performances.

To make an inappropriate analogy, memorials were equivalent to express deliveries of important news. The daily morning court session was used to discuss events happening across the country and to propose or find solutions.

What Qin Yaoguang asked Shuangjiang to write was equivalent to a project plan for recruiting shares, and its complexity was incomparable to that of ordinary memorials.

At the moment, she simply exaggerated the actual difficulties and made sure to dissuade the emperor from this idea.

Empress Xie understood what she meant and followed suit, saying, "It is only because of your extraordinary talent that you can do this. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to write a letter even if their hair turned white."

The emperor then gave up, sighed several times, and completely gave up the idea.

Qin Yaoguang gave Shuangjiang a wink, and Shuangjiang began to explain the contents to the emperor and empress.

The royal family's shares are divided into two halves: one half is the shares claimed by the current royal bloodline in their personal name, referring only to the Empress Dowager and her three children including the Emperor.

The rest of the royal family were not included; they subscribed together with all the officials according to their titles or official positions.

The grandchildren are generally still young, and the emperor and princesses are still young, and there is the possibility of having new heirs, so they are not included.

The other part is the public pool, which is divided into one hundred shares and subscribed every year.

All royal family members are welcome to subscribe on a first-come, first-served basis.

The subscription qualification is calculated on a per-person basis, and even a one-year-old baby can have one share held by his or her parents.

In this way, the interests of the royal family are maximized while the clan members are taken care of.

The only drawback is that after multiple equity structures, the distribution of costs and profits becomes complicated to calculate.

Neither the emperor nor the empress was good at mathematics. They looked at each other in confusion as they listened, as if they were listening to a foreign language.
