Wei Beihou entered the emperor's imperial study with a belly full of anger, but found that a large number of ministers were arguing in front of the emperor, and the quarrel was in full swing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Emperor Xiao Shaoyun sat behind the dragon case with a pale face, and his angry eyes could almost tear this group of ministers without a king to pieces.

It's a pity that the ministers who are arguing are not aware of the emperor being angry at all, if it weren't for Prime Minister Song Wenru standing in the middle of the town, he would almost be able to fight.

Wei Beihou saluted, suppressed his anger and stood silently on the side for less than a cup of tea, and then separated the group of ministers from the camp.

On the left is Zhao Shizhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, with Tang Yuan, the squire of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Shizhen, who has a lot of beard, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and pointed to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites on the right with a red face and scolded: "Fang Handong, you old horseman, you dare to rob any silver! This is the military salary of the Northwest Army, the military salary! The soldiers can't fill their stomachs, can you still enjoy the glory here with peace of mind?

If it weren't for Song Wenru blocking in the middle, Zhao Shizhen's fist would have smashed into Fang Handong's face!

Fang Handong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took several steps back, but he was not to be outdone, but he thought that etiquette was greater than the sky, so naturally he could not be as vulgar as this martial artist, and bowed to the emperor before saying: "Zhao Shangshu, are you scolding me or insinuating the emperor?" Now that the weather is getting hotter, the Northwest Army does not need to buy cotton clothes, and the military salary does not need to be as much as last winter, what is your intention in blocking the draft? At this time, the world is peaceful, and the emperor's heirs should be the most important!"

"Heh, Fang Handong is worthy of being a scholar for an idiot like you, and the military salary is only used for food and clothing? The border defense does not need to be rectified? There is no need to add weapons? How can you be so negligent at the border of Daqi!"

Zhao Shizhen scolded Fang Handong lightly, and approached the Hubu Shangshu who was hiding behind Song Wenru with great momentum: "Lord Zhu, in front of the emperor, you give us a happy word to the military department, how much can you allocate the one million taels of silver in the treasury?"

Xiao Shaoyun's eyes could almost erupt fire, oh, now that I think of it, there is still the emperor, a group of old horsemen who have lost their honor in front of the emperor!

"This, this, there are not so many silver taels in the household, last winter there was heavy snow in the south, and this year I have to paste the silver up, this, this ...... I listen to the emperor!"

Zhu Siming, the head of the household department, scolded his mother in his heart, this group of bandits, who told them that the household department still has one million taels of silver?

Fortunately, he is sleek, just listen to the emperor!

Before the Ministry of Rites had time to go up and ask, the Ministry of Works, who had been watching for a while, also spoke up: "Lord Zhu, the emperor ordered me to build a spiritualist platform, and you also know that this hundred-zhang platform can't be built without silver, how much can you give us the Ministry of Works?"

What? The emperor is going to be drafted, and he wants to build a soul conjuring platform?

Zhu Siming looked at the three groups of people who were eyeing him, and then looked at the emperor, he really wanted to hit the golden dragon pillar in this imperial study!

Originally, three groups of people came to him, and he secretly rejoiced, the household department has always been fragrant and sweet, only a little worse than the ministry, but he didn't expect to take Qiao, this group of bandits, dragged him into the palace, this is going to eat him raw!

It's just that Zhu Siming has been mixed up for most of his life to get into the position of Hubu Shangshu, and he is naturally reluctant to die, so he knelt down in front of the dragon case with a plop: "Please ask the emperor to judge!"

This group of fools, one by one, made a fuss as if he could have the final say, and it didn't depend on the emperor, without Zhu Pi, he didn't want to take a penny of silver from him!

Xiao Shaoyun picked up the newly replaced inkstone on the dragon case and smashed it out again, and was furious: "You still have the emperor in your eyes!"

Seeing that Long Yan was furious, the four groups of people stopped in an instant, and even Song Wenru and Wei Beihou could only kneel down and ask the emperor to calm his anger.

Liu Defu looked at the end of the inkstone that was smashed on the gold bricks, and felt distressed, this is a tribute that was changed at noon!

Seeing that they were all honest, Xiao Shaoyun stroked his eyebrows, pressed his heart and said irritably: "How much silver is left in the household?"

"More than 1.5 million taels ......" ate the ambition leopard gall, and Zhu Siming did not dare to lie to the emperor.

Xiao Shaoyun nodded, this amount is quite normal, after all, a large part of Daqi's taxes are grain, and the rest of the cash silver in the warehouse last winter disaster relief and military salaries spent a large part, and this year's taxes will not be collected until after the autumn, and it is reasonable to say that the household can have so much silver left.

"Then the prime minister will tell me first, how should this silver be divided?"

Xiao Shaoyun didn't divide it directly, and asked Song Wenru to say it first.

Song Wenru, as the prime minister, has the responsibility of supervising the six departments, bowed his head and thought for a moment before making arrangements: "The minister thinks that this 1.5 million taels, the military department, 500,000 taels, the Ministry of Rites, 200,000 taels, and the remaining 800,000 taels, are reserved for this year's spring ploughing and summer flood season, what does the emperor think?"

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was stunned: "Lord Song, then the soul conjuring platform of my Ministry of Industry ......"

Song Wenru interrupted him: "Since the emperor has decreed the draft, the minister thinks that there is no need to build a soul conjuring platform!"

These words were sonorous, but Xiao Shaoyun's face sank: "The Soul Conjuring Platform must be built! Allocate 300,000 taels to the Ministry of Industry!"

Song Wenru raised his head in astonishment: "Your Majesty, even if you allocate two taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry, it is to build a dam for the flood season of the two rivers, why do you have to build this soul conjuring platform?"

I haven't heard the emperor mention this matter in the court for a while, he thought that the emperor had put it down, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about it!

The young emperor's face was cold: "I sit on the world, don't I even have the right to build a high platform?"

Song Wenru still bent his neck and wanted to argue with the emperor, but someone quietly tugged on his sleeve, he suddenly remembered the emperor's temperament, gritted his teeth, and finally lowered his head and fell silent.

Xiao Shaoyun was very satisfied with the courtier's obedience, and nodded: "Just do it, the remaining 800,000 taels, allocate 300,000 taels to the Ministry of Industry." This matter is so decided. ”

The military department Shangshu thought about it for a while, 500,000 taels, for the time being, it was enough for the Northwest Army for a while, at least in addition to eating, drinking, and being full, he could replace the worn and damaged weapons, so he kept silent.

The Soul Calling Platform of the Ministry of Industry has not yet begun to be built, and it is looking for skilled craftsmen all over the world, and it is not in a hurry to use it, with these 300,000, the emperor behind will definitely give it, and he is silent.

Only Fang Handong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was not happy: "Your Majesty, 200,000 taels of the Ministry of Rites is not enough at all, and there are tens of thousands of people who are over 16 years old and unmarried, and the cost of the carriage and horses for the trip to Beijing and return needs to be subsidized by the Ministry of Rites, and these 200,000 are not enough!"

It's good that the secretary of the Ministry of Rites didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, he aroused Xiao Shaoyun's anger: "You are embarrassed to ask me for silver, how many days have my will been made, and there is no charter until now, what are you rubbing?"

"This, this is to ask Lord Song......" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pushed the responsibility very quickly.

Song Wenru was not afraid, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that tens of thousands of women entering Beijing together is really too heavy a burden on the country, and the minister suggests that all localities can be selected first, and those with poor character do not need to enter Beijing, in addition, those who have a marriage contract do not need to enter Beijing, so as not to cause public resentment, and I hope the emperor will think twice!"

There are many unmarried women in the sixteenth year of Great Qi, but there are also many engaged at the age of sixteen, so they can't be broken up by holy decree, right?
