The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Shen Shihang immediately came out and called the emperor poorly: "Your Majesty, because of the huge gaps in the customs duties of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping and the taxation of the Ministry of Households, my Ming treasury is in a state of emergency! This month, the estimated expenditure will be 2000 million taels of silver." , but the income is only 450 million taels, and there is still a shortfall of 1550 million taels. May I ask where the emperor should borrow to make up for the shortfall? Please show me."

When Jiajing heard it, my old lady.

. .

Chapter 2090 Yan Song's routine is so long and long [5]

This is for my life.

1550 million shortfall?

Jiajing originally hoped that with this little money collected, although it is small, it is better than nothing, and he can also eat some delicious food, so give him some money.

It turned out so well...

The silver has not yet entered the bag, it has already been divided up, and he still owes 1500 million taels of silver?

"This... this!" Jiajing said with a clumsy tongue and a confused look on his face: "I don't know how to make money, how can I have money to make up for your deficit? No, it costs 2000 million silver a month. What are they all for? Listen to me!"

"These plans are expenditures approved by the emperor last year."

Shen Shixing calmly took out the booklet and began to read it.

"First of all, military expenses. In my Ming Dynasty, there are now three major governors, nine important towns, and three major fleets. There are a total of 200 million soldiers, and the military expenses are 1000 million a month. This can't be saved?"

Shen Shixing asked the emperor.

Jiajing's face turned pale with fright, and he nodded immediately.

He knew that serving thousands of miles as a soldier was only for money and food. If the emperor dared to withhold military expenses and refuse to pay them, then the soldiers who held guns would inevitably rebel, and the matter would become serious.

"Then there is the cost of repairing the Great Wall, river dredging and other key projects. The Great Wall must be repaired, right? The river must be dredged?" Shen Shixing asked again.

The emperor still shook his head helplessly.

The Great Wall is a natural barrier against the invasion of wild boar skins. It has just made great achievements, even if Jiajing is poor and eats dirt, he dare not not build the Great Wall.

Otherwise, next year, Nurhachi would bring a wild boar skin to the Great Wall to inspect the work, and if he found loopholes, Jiajing would not be able to live a stable life.

The same is true for the river course. The Yellow River will flood within two years without dredging, submerging a large area, and the disaster relief funds will be ten times more than the construction funds!

I can't afford to offend these ancestors, Jiajing can't afford to offend any of them.

"There are also relief funds and other expenses... and finally the salaries of officials." Shenshixing reported.

"Huh? Official salary?" Jiajing's eyes lit up, I can afford to offend this!

Hahaha, officials in the world are the ones I fear the most.

"Ahem, the imperial court is now in a difficult period, and all officials' salaries will be suspended!"

Jiajing spoke uprightly.

The faces of many courtiers turned black.

paralysis.

You don’t dare not pay military expenses, you dare not save money on wild boar skins, you don’t dare not repair the Great Wall, you don’t dare not give relief to the victims of disasters, when you come to our place...

ah?We deserve to be deducted wages by you?

It's not easy for us civil servants, okay?

Officials are going to cry...

In the society of feelings, the most vulnerable groups are we who are officials?

The emperor can't afford to offend anyone, so he can find oil and water from us?

"This..." Shen Shixing looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the officials are poor and their salaries are not high. If they are exempted, then the officials will really have to find a way to embezzle and accept bribes in order to survive. How about cutting it in half?" How about it? The other half delayed sending it for a year."

"This is fine!" Jiajing thought about it, don't let the officials have no income, they have to be corrupt.

But even if the salaries of the officials are halved, it is still a drop in the bucket, not enough...

"There is still a difference of 1400 million!" Shen Shixing reported.

Jiajing heart block...

(#￣～￣#)!

Damn it.

He suddenly snapped at the dragon case: "Think of me as a dignified and dignified man. Anything that can be solved with money is still a problem? Tell me!"

Many courtiers are grieving.

For no reason, my salary was deducted by half by an unscrupulous boss. My heart hurts!

They were in a bad mood at this time, and immediately turned back.

"Your Majesty, with the current situation of my Ming Dynasty, any matter that can be settled with money... well, we can't settle it at all!"

Hubu Shangshu boldly told the truth.

Jiajing o((⊙﹏⊙))o!

Paralysis, what you said is really TM... makes sense.
