Chapter 149: The First Greed of the Great Sui Cha
What is a military order?
It was at the beginning of the war, when the man who led the troops promised someone that if he could not win, he would come to him.
Could it be that you want Yu Wenhua to come and see him?
Since unrealistic, after all, Yu culture and love life. Since the Kaihuang period, Yu culture and life saving are well known. Maybe their Yuwen family has exhausted the emperor's affection, but there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, before they used it to their heart's content, the Yuwen family established a lot of snobbery in this court, which can make the emperor jealous.
The emperor's jealousy is naturally not the Yuwen family, but the stability of the world. Yu culture and death, the world will be in chaos.
The Southern Tang, Northern Mongolia, and Turkic, as well as the Great Chu Dynasty with their claws broken, were absolutely willing to dig a piece of meat from the body of the Great Sui.
Now it is in a period of balance, that is because there are 300,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, 300,000 iron cavalry in Beiliang, and 200,000 foot soldiers in Western Shu can block the entry of the million male divisions of Great Chu into Luodao.
Luodao, a frontier fortress, and a king with a different surname from the Great Sui Dynasty was stationed here. This king with a different surname made a lot of effort in the battle to exterminate Yuwen Tuo that year. He is also the only martial arts master in the military.
Yang Guang asked, "What does Prime Minister Yuwen think?"
Yu Wenhua and the treacherous and cunning, naturally they will not say that the ministers are incompetent or competent. He spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to solve this matter for Your Majesty." However, the old minister thought that Master Li Sansi was more suitable for this matter. Moreover, Lord Li is a household servant, in charge of the country's money and silver, no matter from which aspect, Lord Li is a well-deserved first person. ”
Li Sansi's eyes were cold, but he didn't say anything, after all, he was only a second grade, and the influence of Yu Wenhua and such elders of the two dynasties was too far behind.
He let himself preside, then he must borrow and supervise with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Industry. They are only the second grade, and even if they act according to orders, they cannot act according to what they say.
Before Li Sansi could think about it completely, most of the ministers immediately knelt down and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal, and Lord Li is indeed the most suitable candidate." ”
Yang Guang looked at the kneeling Wenchen and felt a little interesting, looked at the kneeling Ministry of Industry Shangshu and asked, "I don't know why Wang Aiqing thinks Li Qing is suitable?"
Wang Yun secretly complained to himself, but it is not a simple person to be able to become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. He replied: "The minister thinks that Master Li is very knowledgeable and a pillar of our dynasty, and if he can be put in this flood disaster, he will definitely be able to make greater contributions to our dynasty." ”
Which of the people present was not a human spirit, Wang Yun was obviously saying that although Li Sansi was talented, he was promoted too quickly. However, in only three years, he became a member of the court from a seventh-grade minor official to a second-grade court, and his qualifications were not enough to convince the public.
Yang Guang smiled and said gently: "What Wang Aiqing said is reasonable!"
Everyone was stunned, didn't the emperor favor Li Sansi the lone minister the most? Why did he follow Wang Yun in this matter.
Yu Wenhua and his eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking. But Li Sansi smiled knowingly, there is a drama to watch in the court this morning.
Yang Guang asked Wang Yun again: "Li Aiqing added a few million taels of silver to the treasury some time ago, so let's do it! Wang Aiqing also sent several million taels of silver to the treasury, and I asked Li Sansi to go to the Beijing and Hangzhou areas to fight floods." ”
When Wang Yun heard this, his face immediately darkened. Millions of taels of silver, he can only have millions of taels unless he sells all his house.
However, even if Wang Yun has been an official for decades, several million taels of silver is also an unattainable figure for him. So where did the money come from, it goes without saying.
It is true that the Ministry of Industry does not have as much money as the Ministry of Households, after all, the Ministry of Household is in charge of money and grain for the state. But don't forget, the annual floods and the construction of large-scale fortifications, as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, experience millions of taels of mercury every year, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver still dare to be greedy. And it was after passing below, and those who came up with filial piety were more than 100,000 taels of silver.
As soon as Wang Yun heard that Yang Guang wanted him to raise a few million taels of silver, he knew that it was bad. He looked at Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenhua and where dare to care about him at this moment.
Even if he didn't get a penny on the bad debts of the Ministry of Industry, he didn't know where the money that should have been spent on the victims every year went.
If 2 million taels of silver are allocated to the Beijing and Hangzhou areas every year, then at least 800,000 taels of silver are used by officials to settle the dots, and each official is allocated a head.
And the leader will naturally be able to eat the biggest head. All, Wang Yun has had some difficulties this year.
Wang Yun's face was like eating a fly, and he couldn't speak. Yang Guang didn't ask, but waited.
Soon, Wang Shaojie walked to Yang Guang's side and handed him an account book.
Yang Guang quietly flipped through the accounts, looking at every shocking penny on it, Yang Guang suddenly stood up, threw the accounts in front of Wang Yun, who was kneeling, and let out a shocking anger: "Wang Yun, Wang Yun, you show me and see if you should be punished by the nine clans." ”
Yang Guang stood up and almost fell, obviously dizzy.
"Holy!"
"I'm fine, I just thought that the Great Sui Dynasty raised such a big moth!" Yang Guang sat down and let Wang Shaojie read.
Wang Shaojie stepped forward and spoke: "Wang Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, after the cooperation of Dali Temple and the Supervision Yuan, in Wang Yun's mansion, three million taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, countless rare calligraphy and paintings, antique jade, two mansions, a total of three million taels, a total value of 11 million taels of silver!"
Yang Guang looked at Wang Yun, whose face was like ashes, and sneered: "I didn't expect that a Ministry of Industry Shangshu would be richer than my treasury." Great irony, do you think there are people who are more greedy than Wang Yun. ”
The Great Sui Dynasty had an annual tax of more than 20 million taels of silver a year, but every place had to use money, and the treasury had long been empty. Otherwise, Yang Guang would have started the huge fortification of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal a long time ago, but unfortunately the treasury is not enough, the border army needs money, and the people of the world need money.
The taxes collected are nothing but taken from the people and used for the people!
Yang Guang turned his head to look at Yu Wenhua: "What do you say?
Yu Wenhua immediately knelt down: "The minister should die, the minister is willing to take out all his belongings and put five million taels into the treasury, and Your Majesty forgives the sin." ”
When Yu Wenhua learned that Wang Yun was greedy so much, he was also shocked.
Five million taels, Yu Wenhua and nature can't take out all of them, this is the bottom line, and Yang Guang can't force him anymore.
And as far as Yang Guang's line of sight could see, many ministers knelt down and shouted damn, and then were willing to sacrifice all their belongings.
A group of generals looked at this scene full of taste, and they waited for their lives to fight on the front line, but they ate, drank, and played well in the rear.
