Chapter 22 The Imperial Affairs
An hour later, the emperor did not speak or express his position, and the ministers stopped arguing, slowly stopped the war of words, and quietly looked up to observe the one on the dragon chair.
The two pavilion elders and the two prime ministers and the six Shangshu in front of him trembled their legs, and they almost had their noses crooked!
All right! Dare to love them, they are in vain today! Although the emperor is sitting upright, his closed eyes and little by little head are very telling! This one...... Are you asleep? turned to the rumors that came out of the palace last night, saying that the emperor was fortunate to have a little attendant, it seemed that he was tired of tossing, and the big guy was a little disdainful in his heart.
But at this time, the emperor's head tilted to the left, and the hearts of the ministers jumped suddenly, and they were about to be reminded, but they saw that there was one more thing on the emperor's cheek.
Everyone raised their eyes and glanced at the back of the dragon chair, Deng Gonggong held the dust in his hand and rested on the dragon chair, and the soft and slender silver wire hanging from the head of the dust-wrapped golden lotus was against the side of the emperor's face, supporting the noble dragon head not to slide down. Deng Gonggong did not squint, his hands did not tremble, his waist was not sore, his legs were not weak, and he fully supported his master, his attitude was called a concentration, and at all, the ministers on the side were air, and he was even faintly dissatisfied with this group of ministers who were not long-sighted and had nothing to do. Quarrel every day, month after month, quarrel every year, and I don't see the treasury full of soldiers and strong horses, but one or two families are so rich that even those slaves dare to go sideways! What the hell!
Gonggong Deng rolled his eyes in his heart, and decided to ignore everyone's sight, and not to wake up the master, everything will be said when the master wakes up. He got up before dawn, and he was distressed!
The ministers were angry in their hearts, and they simply stopped talking about state affairs, and they all pestle like wood carvings, and suddenly the hall was silent, and the needles could be heard.
Finding that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, Gao Shenghan slowly opened his eyes, resisted the urge to yawn, and raised his hand to rub his temples.
"It's all over? Can there be results? She opened her mouth lazily, grabbed a copy of the book she had just presented, flipped through it, and threw it away. Grab the next one and keep throwing it.
"The ministers are waiting for the emperor's decision." Now all the courtiers have the ambition to speak in unison.
"The snow disaster in the north wants disaster relief, and the household department is still available." I had already read these court affairs agendas last night, and Gao Shenghan was still able to write down the things that needed to be solved urgently.
"The minister is here." Zhang Ting, the head of the household, was listed.
Gao Shenghan threw the fold in front of him. "Calculate how much food and clothing should be allocated."
"The minister has the right to play." The military department was dissatisfied, and hurriedly went out of the ranks, and said that the soldiers on the front line in northern Xinjiang also need food support, this winter is extremely cold, and several heavy snowfalls in the north, I am afraid that the desert nomads have too many casualties in livestock, and those tribes will be entangled in a piece of southward invasion of the border, so no one's food and salary can be shortened!
"Oh." Gao Sheng nodded coldly, and waved his pen, "Yes." "A red letter was written on the book of the Ministry of War.
Shang Shu of the Ministry of War was overjoyed, and after thanking Long En on behalf of the soldiers in front, Gao Shenghan asked again, "Who is responsible for escorting grain and grass?" ”
The other party replied with a person's name, a seven-rank military attaché, a nephew of Cheng Enbo's Mansion, and Meng Yin'en was hired.
"Is it possible to ensure that my grain and grass will be delivered to the front line intact?" Gao Shenghan asked again.
The soldier's Shangshu's eyelids jumped, and he replied truthfully: "In case of bad road conditions, or falling, hooking, or dampness, there will be about half of the loss of grain and grass, and the rest of the grain and salary will definitely live up to the emperor's trust and arrive at the front line safely." "If you can't do this, don't do it. They are all operating in the rear, and they are escorted by the army, and there will never be bandits and roadbands who dare to make up their minds.
"Half of them." Gao Shenghan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "How many soldiers can eat and drink in a year." ”
The ministers below didn't dare to make a sound, and the forehead of the ghost in his heart quietly broke out in a cold sweat, muttering to himself that he had done this in previous years and didn't see the emperor make a sound, why was the lord unhappy today? If you have a bad heart, you wonder if the little waiter was not happy last night? and secretly thought about whether to find a few more lovely people to present to the emperor in a few days.
"Half percent." Gao Shenghan straightened his face and threw the fold with the red note to the military department, "If the loss is exceeded, the escort officer and the subordinates will put it on themselves." ”
"Your Majesty! This is really difficult for a strong man...... "The military department still wants to fight for it again, and he doesn't want to be killed by the first sentence."
"If I can't do it, I don't mind changing people, there will always be someone who is willing to take over." Gao Shenghan didn't care and opened the next fold.
The military department was completely speechless, but his brain was turning sharply to figure out how to explain to Cheng Enbo, and he had to exchange shoddy goods for some benefits......
didn't want to, the emperor flew another sentence to block his calculations.
"Also, I have allocated second-class grain, as well as rough grain barley for the cattle to eat, so that they will not be turned into old grain and inferior rice grass root bark when they are transported to the front. I will write to the generals in front of me to explain the situation. ”
The military department is still suffering, and I can't say it.
After such an incident, everyone raised their hearts, and they didn't dare to talk about some things, and those trivial departments couldn't get involved in the trivial things of kicking the ball, and they didn't dare to take it to the court meeting to fool around.
"Your Majesty, the disaster relief ......" Zhang Ting, the head of the household, still played hard.
"Oh? Do you still have silver in the household? Gao Shenghan looked at him with bright eyes.
"Nature is not enough...... Zhang Ting bowed with a bitter face, his waist couldn't stand up at all, but he had to say what the rest of the money was for.
"At the end of the year, there are many places to use money everywhere, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry can't save ......" New Year's sacrifices, worship, reunion dinner, Lantern Festival, rewards from all parties, etc., are miscellaneous, and the treasury has almost not been emptied. And the rest of the money has to be prepared for the next spring's expenses, and it is impossible to really run out of the old bottom.
Gao Shenghan stared, speechless for a while.
She didn't even know that the treasury was about to bottom out! Is she that poor? Look at the decoration in the palace is very luxurious! The food at each meal is also very extravagant, and the costumes of the palace guards are also very stylish! How come you are so poor that you don't even have money for disaster relief?
Gao Shenghan subconsciously glanced at Gonggong Deng, who looked at his nose and nose and heart, like an old monk in his meditation, and did not give any hints.
Is there something wrong with the company's finances? Is the project budget exceeding expectations? So, should it be financed? Loan? Or misappropriation......
Gao Shenghan rubbed his eyebrows.
Think far. She's not at the company's shareholder meeting right now, nor is it the annual summary and next year's budget report.
This is...... The country's financial resources are insufficient! Serious shortcomings! It's almost to the point where Yin eats food! This is only a small local snowstorm, with less than 500 households and about 2,000 people, and they can't even allocate money for relief!
"Let's go to disaster first. Others will be postponed. Anyway, she didn't give the ministers a chance to object, she waved her sleeves and walked away heroically.
"Retreat!" Gonggong Deng shouted and followed up.
