At the beginning of the year, the 10 million taels of military expenses approved by Zuo Zongtang were swept out of the treasury of the household, and then the local government assisted to do 5 million taels.

For the remaining five million, the imperial court can only let Zuo Zongtang raise it by himself, what way does he have to raise it by himself, he can only go to the Jiangnan business district through Hu Xueyan's relationship to exchange it, and go to the foreigner bank to borrow it.

Historically, most of Zuo Zongtang's military spending was exchanged from the provincial assistance bureaus and the foreigners' bank in Shanghai, and the entire military expenditure in Pingxi was not 10 million taels, but 40 million taels.

The funds for quelling the rebellion and local reconstruction have been added to quell the rebellion in Gansu and Shaanxi, and even the freight required to transport materials to the northwest has been converted.

Of the 40 million taels of silver, the provincial co-payment was 20 million taels, the debts of foreigners were more than 8 million taels, the loans of domestic merchants were more than 5,600,000 taels, and the army raised its own military expenses of 4,000,000 taels.

You see, this court can't even make up an integer, so it can be seen that even the bottom of the treasury has been cleaned.

If the household department does not have silver, then it will not be able to give money to the court officials, let alone provide funds for the normal operation of the six ministries.

On the one hand, it is difficult for the Eight Banners to be trained, and on the other hand, it is also because the money is not in place, so far the training camp has only carried out three target training, and the foreign guns are complete, but the cost of bullets and military uniforms has not yet been settled.

As soon as the four million taels of silver arrived at the household department, several princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty discussed with the empress dowager of the two palaces, but they did not notify the Hanchens, and all the silver coins of 2 million taels were transferred to the training camp of the new army.

In the turbulent and eventful autumn of the Qing Dynasty, if there is no reliable army in hand, I am afraid that the Manchurian nobles in Sijiu City will not be able to sleep.

More important than the training of the new army is the salary of hundreds of officials, the court owes too much, the Beijing officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven are bitter This is obvious to all, not all officials have bribes to take, and Bing Tanjing must be a high-ranking official above the fourth grade to be eligible to share some profits.

What should we do with the remaining thousands of officials below the fourth grade? Not only have they tightened their belts and suffered hardship, but they have even been reduced to the point of being used as jewelry and borrowing usury.

This time, the senior officials of the six ministries can be regarded as anxious, they rarely collectively wrote a petition, and even put pressure on the imperial court, if they do not make up a batch of money for the officials who work under them, then the six high halls will be collectively sealed, and we will collectively strike and not play with the imperial court.

It was under the collective pressure of the six high-ranking officials that the imperial court quickly made a decision, and the officials above the fourth rank would take a little less first, and each person would be given a hundred silver coins first, while the poor Beijing officials below the fourth rank would be given preferential treatment.

Five-grade officials will be reissued 200 dragon-patterned silver coins, sixth-grade officials will be reissued 150 pieces, seventh-grade officials will be reissued 100 pieces, and the rest of the ministry staff and non-grade personnel will be reissued 70, 50, and 30 silver coins respectively according to the nature of their work.

The proportion of the salary repaid by the children of the Eight Banners was almost the same as that of the court officials.

Don't underestimate these hundreds of silver coins, even if you make up the minimum 30 silver coins, it is equivalent to 23 taels of silver, this money is of course not enough to sell houses, land and concubines, but a family of four or five is enough to eat for a year.

What's more, as long as you reach the seventh-rank official rank, one hundred silver coins is 77 taels of silver, and if you rent a small courtyard house in Beijing City, it will only be thirty or forty taels of silver a year, and the rest of the silver will be enough for their family to eat for a year if they buy red pickled soybeans in the snow, accompanied by white rice.

This was originally a good thing that everyone was happy about, but it was ruined in the hands of these bullshit and short-sighted people, and it was stirred up by those half-crippled uncles of the Eight Banners and waste officials of different economies, and the crowd suddenly became agitated, and people even tore up the 'waste paper' in their hands.

Not to mention, this paper is really strong, and it feels particularly good when torn up, and even has the feeling of tearing cloth.

The principals of the household department who divided the money were also mad, they asked the soldiers to protect the money box, standing on the chair to explain to this group of masters, but no one would listen to him, and even a broken shoe flew over and hit him directly in the mouth.

"Good, good...... Tear it up, tear it all! Anyway, it's your own money that you tear, just don't regret it when the time comes!"

"Protect the money box, our household can't have less money, as for them tearing up their own money, I can't care about ......it."

These words added fuel to the fire, and those dizzy officials shouted, "Tear it up, you take the white strip as a treasure, who do you want to deceive? This day is really unbearable, this official really can't be a pawn!"

In the chaos, Lin Shangshu hurried back from the palace, and the four sedan chair drivers were covered in oil along the way.

"Stop! You guys are crazy! Who told you to besiege the household yamen? Why did you tear up all the money!"

"Lin Gong, we treat you as a loyal elder, but you deceive us like this, how can you use white slips as a way to send them down? You are too much of a bully......

Lin Shangshu's eyes turned black with anger, and he kept asking, "How did you make it like this, why did you let the hundred officials come directly to the household department to receive the money? Why didn't you classify it and send it to the various yamen? I don't know if there will be accidents if there are too many people?"

"My lord, don't you know, after you entered the palace in the morning, many well-informed officials came to the door early, and they all gathered to receive the money...... We think these colleagues are also poor enough, how many creditors must be chasing after the buttocks......"

"It's also a pity for them, and everything is starting to be released...... As a result, more and more people were getting into trouble, and in the end there were people who made trouble, and they didn't want these Ryukyu bonds......"

Lao Lin slapped his thigh angrily, "I just said wait a few days, wait a few days, blow the wind again, you just don't listen, this is a mess, right?"

Just when Lao Lin was about to faint, a few fast horses came from the east side of the avenue, and the first one was the deputy chief minister of the Prime Minister's Yamen, Fuqing and Qing Sanye.

"Stop! Spread the king's order, and everyone quickly retreated...... They all go back to their respective yamen, aren't they afraid of the king's law?"

As soon as people saw that Qing Sanye was coming, it was like a scoop of cold water splashed into the hot oil pot, and the crowd suddenly exploded "Fuqing...... You bastard, you sent your own sister to Xiao Letian's bed to exchange for wealth, and when you returned, you followed Xiao Letian to humiliate ......the court!

With a whoosh, a broken shoe went straight to Fuqing's door.
