Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

When Xue Baochai was having a headache for the Xue family's account books, the emperor was also having a headache for the account books of the household department.Seeing the shocking number, the emperor slammed the booklet in his hand angrily:

"This day will not pass."

Without him, the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounts this year are equally bleak, so bleak that even the last month's salary of officials cannot be paid out.This is the most serious year that the emperor has known since he came to the throne, no, from the time he started walking from the household department!Not to mention the series of sacrifices from the end of the year to January and February of the next year will cost money!

The emperor was upset, so he dropped the notebook directly:

"Dai Quan, you, help me take a look, stop talking nonsense, why is the household department so tight this year?"

Dai Quan shivered, squatted down cautiously, picked up the memorial on the ground, read three lines in parallel, and said: "Long live Qi, the book said that the Ministry of Households has a shortage of money and food this year, because the mother's Father-in-law's villa."

Dai Quan said the last eight words very lightly.

He knew that the emperor had expected such a situation, but he never expected it to be so serious.

That's right, the emperor expected that Wu's, Jia's, and Zhou's homes would spend a lot of money on their family-friendly villas. Borrowing large sums of money will also stimulate other families of civil and military officials in Beijing.

That is to say, the Wu family, the Jia family and the Zhou family borrowed a large amount of money from the treasury. The direct effect was to stimulate consumption, and the civil and military officials in Beijing were stimulated, which also increased consumption.But Guochao's salary is here, and the salary, which is not much higher than the daily expenses of ordinary people, can't meet the consumption needs at all.

The civil and military officials of the dynasty have long been accustomed to borrowing money from the treasury to pay for the daily expenses of their families. Now that they have been stimulated, consumption has risen, and naturally, more money has been borrowed from the treasury.

But can Dai Quan say these words?

Even if it was written in the notebook, he didn't dare to read it.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't want to hear this at this time.

"It's written on it, where can I spare a sum of money?"

Dai Quan immediately turned to the back: "Yes, yes. I would like to report to Your Majesty, yes, it is Her Royal Highness, who borrowed 80 yuan at the beginning of the year on the grounds of young crops. The monthly interest is 6000 taels per month. These are paid on a monthly basis." Yes. As for the principal, the first payment will be made in the twelfth lunar month."

After reading it, Dai Quan was also taken aback for a moment.

The emperor sighed and said, "That's all. Go tell the empress, and tell me to go to her place for dinner."

Since only the daughter can afford the money, naturally go back and discuss with his wife and daughter first.As for the affairs of the court, without money, everything is useless.

Dai Quan quickly agreed, and the emperor read some more important memorials and gave instructions before getting up.

On the other side, Miaoyu, who had just sent away Concubine Yizhong and Lin Daiyu, learned about today's events in Zichen Palace from the servant who passed on the word - referring to the memorial.

The eunuchs in Zichen Palace may be the most loyal eunuchs in the entire palace. They know who they want to be loyal to, so they will say what they should say, and they will not confide a word if they should not say it.

Knowing that the treasury was empty again, Miaoyu immediately asked the emperor for leave, and then went to her own room to sort out the books.Not only the sum of money that is about to expire in the twelfth lunar month, but also the money and food that can be mobilized elsewhere, she must be aware of it.

Later, when the emperor came to Zhaoyang Hall and asked about her, Miaoyu did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Excuse me, Father, have you paid all the military salaries in the Northwest?"

The emperor immediately became alert: "Why are you asking this?"

"My daughter just wants to know how big the gap is in the imperial court." Miaoyu signaled the servant to bring up a brocade box, "If the military salary in the northwest is enough, or if the emperor thinks it's enough, then it's not a big problem. But If there is too much shortage of military pay in the northwest, then my daughter can't do anything about it."

As he spoke, he took out the first document from the brocade box: "This is the tax payment document of my daughter's Zhuangzi this year. This is the tax payment document for summer grain. Here. Just like in previous years, all taxes on Zhuangzi have been paid this year. But anyone who has come to my Zhuangzi for three months, no matter male or female, as long as they are 15 years old, they have paid the personal tax according to the day."

The population tax in Gyeonggi can be said to be the lowest level in the country. On average, each person only needs to pay ten copper coins per day.Compared with other provinces and state capitals, people in Gyeonggi have more ways to earn a living, but pay the lowest taxes. It can be said that it is the happiest area in the country.

"My daughter's tax is paid on time and according to the amount. I just don't know whether the local officials sent the money to the treasury or into the official warehouse. If the father wants to know, he needs to send someone to ask. If the father helps The treasury is in shortfall, "

Miaoyu took out another document,

"This is the total amount of money and food that Zhuangzi will need from now to next April when the early rice harvest is estimated by the accountants on Zhuangzi. My daughter first employs 10,000+ people to work, and the rations and wages should not be thin on them. So after paying the money from the household department, the daughter's hands are tight. But if the father is willing to operate and allow the daughter to use part of the supplies to pay for the money and food, some money can be released."

The emperor was taken aback: "Materials? How do you move them?"

Miaoyu looked at the account book and said: "For example, the military pay for the Northwest. My daughter has more than [-] tons of rabbit meat, all of which have been salted and dried. It will be broken. If this is converted into military rations, wouldn’t it be a good time to free up a sum of money and rations? There are also rabbit furs. There are hundreds of thousands of sets of rabbit furs and fur pants in the daughter’s village. If they can be converted into military supplies Money and food. For the father and emperor, it was nothing more than freeing the left hand to the right, but with the imperial court, the military salary was never less, it just changed the form and became the food in the mouth. Evacuate the warehouse. I don't know what the father wants."

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, this is a good idea.

The specific price is naturally to be negotiated by the officials of the Ministry of Households and the Princess Mansion. As for whether they will roll up their sleeves and have a fight after the fight, and continue to talk after the fight. said.

The emperor and Miaoyu, one is the emperor and the other is the princess. They are both monarchs and ministers, and father and daughter.However, the officials of the household department and the officials of the princess's mansion belong to two different yamen, and there is a certain degree of competition in itself.They didn't quarrel, Miaoyu was still worried about something, they rolled up their sleeves to fight, Miaoyu was willing to believe that they had achieved their ultimate.

Miaoyu's will has deeply affected the officials of her princess's mansion. The quickness with which these officials put down their pens and rolled up their sleeves to fight is comparable to the agility with which they pick up their pens to do accounts. The officials in charge of communicating with the officials of Miaoyu's princess mansion are getting more and more skinny.

Supervising the taxes on Miaoyu's side, even if there is an error of one copper plate, the people below will knock on the table and slam the boards into a quarrel, but looking at those books, it is clear and accurate. The tax is not only refreshing, but also shocking. speechless.

When others didn't notice, the behavior of Princess Duanhui's mansion first affected the Ministry of Households, and then the Ministry of War.
