As noon approached, Shen Linghan finished reviewing the thick pile of memorials, and went to the camp outside the city after lunch.

Shen Linghan was about to stand up and stretch her numb hands and feet, so three ministers hurried into the imperial study room, and came to Shen Linghan with a look of seriousness.

Ling approached.

Seeing this, Shen Linghan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that something happened to Shang Ke on the frontline battlefield?

Shen Linghan asked urgently: "What's the matter?"

The Minister of Household Affairs replied in panic, "Your Majesty, the batch of relief money that was allocated to Sichuan was robbed halfway!"

No, Shen Linghan felt relieved.

but……

"All the 500 million taels of disaster relief funds were taken away?" Shen Linghan couldn't believe it.

The three ministers nodded in unison, miserable, "They were all taken away."

Shen Linghan raised her eyebrows immediately, lingering with rage, she slapped the file fiercely, and said: "The soldiers who escorted the relief money were all given away for nothing!"

The minister of the Ministry of War trembled in fright, and quickly explained:

"There was an inner ghost in the army escorting the relief money, and ten incense sticks were poured into their drinking water. Not long after the generals left the imperial capital, they had a seizure on the official road, and they all had no strength at all. fell to the ground."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple continued: "At this moment, a group of masked men came and robbed 500 million disaster relief vehicles with ease."

Shen Linghan calmed down the anger in her heart, her brows were deeply furrowed, and she listened carefully to the three ministers explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

In his mind, he carefully analyzed the sudden robbing of the national treasury and the allocation of disaster relief funds in Sichuan.

At this moment, the Minister of Household Affairs sighed worriedly: "500 taels of disaster relief money is not a small amount!"

He paused, and then said: "A few days ago, the Marquis of Jin Jin went on an expedition, and the emperor allocated 3000 million taels of military funds to Marquis Xuan Jin from the treasury. Stretched."

When the generals are away, all kinds of reserve materials and military pay are indispensable.

There are still two months until the time for tax collection, and the Ministry of Household Affairs reported to the treasury that after removing the military funds allocated to the banquet merchant Ke, there are still 8 taels of silver left as reserves.

So at that time, Shen Linghan allocated 800 million taels of military funds to Banquet Shangke to exceed the military funds allocated by the Ministry of Accounts, in order to let Banquet Shangke fight with peace of mind and without worrying about trivial matters.

1000 million taels of silver were left in the treasury as a reserve.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and accidents have happened one after another in various provinces in the past few days.

A few days ago, the dykes along the Yangtze River and Huaihe River have been in disrepair for a long time, showing signs of loosening. The rainy season is approaching. If the dykes are not repaired in time, they will burst, and the villages of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the river will be flooded.
