The emperor picked up the wine glass, looked indifferently at the staggered ministers in front of him, and whispered to Xue Qing next to him: "Last time, I was a little inauthentic, you can't let your uncle apologize to you in front of the ministers." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xue Qing squeezed out an embarrassed smile, you thought that this thing really wanted to apologize, and it was obvious that he was going to use you to carry the black pot again, so he had to say something nice to coax you before that. Xue Qing wouldn't be stupid enough to believe such a thing. It's not stupid and sweet. Is it good that the old lady is a black-bellied woman?

The emperor regarded this reluctant smile as his own dates were fruitful, and began to assign tasks: "At present, the prime minister has some opinions, and he is sparing no effort to tilt the finances of the imperial court to his side. The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. You say that my bowl of water is uneven, but what should I do? ”

Xue Qing sneered: "It's better if a bowl of water is all given to the military expenses, then Your Majesty will be happy, isn't it." ”

The emperor's old face was a little unbearable, and he waved his hand and said: "I can't say that, alas, the court also needs to use money, and the expenses in the palace are used." The military arrangements in the southwest and northeast have just been recovered in Hexi, and money is needed everywhere. I really can't give all the military money in a bowl of water. ”

Xue Qing couldn't help but think: "But the prime minister not only wants to maintain the normal expenses of the imperial court, but also wants to reduce military spending to the greatest extent." ”

The emperor whispered: "He has a reason for doing this. Eggs cannot be placed in the same basket. Stretching the limit is a situation, and it is not something that one or two people can solve in a day or two. ”

Xue Qing could see that the emperor was a little haggard, and he worked hard to get money everywhere, and the ugly courtiers couldn't stand it. But it's still not enough to regret it late.

Many people think that the emperor is omnipotent in feudal society. What kind of Son of Heaven is angry and ambushes millions of corpses or something, opening roads and building bridges in the mountains and water, it is very good to say. But if you want to send troops, you have to spend a lot of money to build this army. Food and clothing, a meal is an astronomical amount. When a war starts, how much a head is rewarded, it is all real money.

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, and although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have a cannon in his hand, it still cost a lot. Nothing costs more than war. No amount of Bill Gates is enough for two battles.

The emperor asked in a low voice: "You know what the prime minister said to your father in your palace before." What do you think? ”

Xue Qing rolled her eyes and said more steadily: "Grasp the Northern Expedition with one hand, grasp the rear construction with the other, grasp it with both hands, and both hands should be hard." ”

The emperor unconsciously stretched out his hands and grabbed them, clenched them into fists, looked left and right, and said, "Don't come with me, you just say if you have any way." ”

Pull it on, you, do you want the old lady to conjure up military expenses all of a sudden? Why is this the turn of the old lady again.

There must be no way. Xue Qing could only look at the emperor in a daze.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about anything else, I'm talking about raising military funds. Qing said, you mentioned this method to him. ”

Xue Qing said: "Yes, when Emperor Xiaojing quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, didn't he use this method." ”

The Emperor's brow furrowed slightly.

With a slight frown, Xue Qing felt that this thing was unwilling to use such a method. Why? Perhaps it was because of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms that Wu and Chu took the lead in raising troops. The imperial court was forced to raise troops to quell the rebellion. And this Northern Expedition, the emperor took the initiative to fight.

Could it be because the emperor is afraid that others will see that he lacks confidence and strength.

There may also be the issue of confidentiality. In this era, there were not so many counter-intrigues between the enemy and us, especially the Huns and the Han people did not look the same at all. But if the funds are raised publicly, it is tantamount to leaking the news to the Huns.

Sure enough, the emperor muttered: "I am pondering, it is not appropriate to raise funds publicly. Do you understand this? ”

Xue Qing said playfully: "I don't seem to understand." ”

The emperor laughed twice, then lowered his voice: "You say it's not okay to be public, but it's okay to do it in private?" ”

Xue Qing was stunned, this emperor is still shameless, and he is addicted to cutting wool?

Xue Qing faintly had a bad premonition, could this be a ......

Sure enough, the emperor said: "It's not good to use the name of the Han army, and it's not good to use the name of Shaofu." It's not good in my name. But there is one person, in her name is the best. ”

Xue Qing twisted her face and was about to leave. The pit people are not so pitiful. The military expenses of the imperial court asked the old lady to personally come forward to guarantee the loan. Are you kidding? What does the old lady use as a security deposit?

The emperor grabbed Xue Qing's sleeve and said: "Ah Xue, after you listen to me, this kind of thing is good for the country and the people, even if it is you, hard work and hard work will not be missing you, do you think." ”

Xue Qing lowered her voice and said, "Han Jun, Shaofu, the emperor is not suitable to come forward because their prestige is unquestionable. I can't do anything that I can't break my promise and don't pay back the money I owe. It's not the same with concubines. In the name of the concubine, under the banner of the emperor. Go to the princes and nobles to raise money. Not yet. Those princes and nobles still don't tear up their concubines and eat them. If Your Majesty can afford it, even if you go to borrow it from them, this is obviously a debt, and it will depend on the concubines? ”

The emperor said: "Also, why don't you pay it back, you don't want to think about it, after the battle, can I still have no money to pay it back, if I really can't do it, I can still use the title to pay it back." ”

Xue Qing had a dog-like expression on her face: "Your Majesty's false titles are just sold to powerful landlords to decorate the façade." Do you want to make up for military spending by relying on this? Didn't Your Majesty just say that it would not be open to the public? ”

Zhang Qian listened to the pain of the egg on the side, the virtue of bargaining for a living marketman. This shady deal of red fruit. Zhang Qian was shocked when he heard it. can only coax the people next to him far away.

The emperor said obscenely: "Don't come to the virtual, come to the real, real fiefdom, food." Cash in now. ”

Xue Qing was stunned: "How can this work, doesn't it mean that the titles of the five doctors and above are not for sale." Why is this ......?"

The emperor smiled mysteriously: "It's not for sale, I'm selling a fief." is the future earnings of the fiefdom. It is only sold among the nobles of the imperial court, and you take this to talk to them about raising funds. Isn't it much more convenient? ”

People are short-sighted because of their own conditions. What he could see wasn't far away.

For example, Li Guang has been thinking about the marquis for a lifetime. I took it and found that I could buy it directly for money, and I said it was interesting. Fortunately, Li Guang's vision has broadened a lot now, otherwise he would not have to buy a piece of tofu and die of it.

Xue Qing believes that many people will hook this hook. They will only think that this deal is a good deal, and it seems like a lot to spend some money. But the Chinese like a long stream of water, an iron rice bowl, and a golden land. It looks like it's 10,000 years solid. As long as the Han does not fall, then their fiefdoms and food estates will not be affected in any way, and they will tirelessly provide nutrients for their families every year. (To be continued.) )
