Xue Qing grabbed Wei Qing and said, "The prime minister said bluntly, how much money can the imperial court give." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhuang Qingzhai said categorically: "In half a year, fifty percent of the treasury, two million gold, and not a single copper plate. ”

Wei Qing and Xue Qing glanced at each other, feeling bad. Zhuang Qingzhai chattered: "During this period, in order to expand the army and prepare ordnance, military rations, and military horses. The internal budget has begun to make ends meet. The Prime Minister's Mansion has done its best, but it can only go so far. Once half a year has passed. The expansion of the treasury is empty, and there is no strength to provide for the northern occupation anymore. ”

In this way, the military spending of the Northern Expedition was cut by more than half. Wei Qing's brows furrowed. There's no money and a fart.

Zhuang Qingzhai sat opposite. Wei Qing and Xue Qing whispered to each other for a while, such as temporarily withholding the emperor's reward for the three armies. It is used for military expenses. The seized cattle and sheep property was directly used for military expenses. You can also learn from the methods of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty when he dealt with the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, publicly issuing war treasury bonds and borrowing money from the nobles.

The two fathers and daughters were discussing here. That Zhuang Qingzhai was still adding oil and vinegar on the side: "The old man is not a scoundrel here, the treasury's revenue and expenditure capacity is like this, if it is more." It will inevitably lead to disorder in the domestic political situation. If he goes to that point, the old man will return to his hometown without saying a word, and the emperor will not allow it. A white silk was hanged on the house. Love, what's wrong. ”

There was no money and a fart fight, Xue Qing asked in a low voice: "Why don't you let the emperor die down for the time being, and wait until the financial situation is a little better." I'm not in a hurry. ”

Wei Qing smiled bitterly: "Throughout the nearly 100-year history of our dynasty, the internal treasury is full, and there are many generals. This is the best time. There's no better time than this. ”

Xue Qing sneered: "It's better to let the emperor stop all the salaries of the three princes and nine kings, and bring all the officials of the counties." Then they exterminated all the nobles. Within two months, at least five million gold will come out. ”

Zhuang Qingzhai's purpose was to keep as much of the treasury as possible for other expenses of the imperial court. And there is only one way, and that is to suppress military spending without limits.

The three of them discussed for a long time in the garden of Lishan. In the end, only a consensus was reached that other expenses of the imperial court should be fully guaranteed. And a more reasonable cut in military spending. As for how much, no one dared to let go.

sent Zhuang Qingzhai down the mountain. Wei Qing stood at the door and sighed: "In this way, most of the original military plans will have to be changed. The emperor said it easily, people and horses make bridges, and gold paves the way. But when it comes to the end, it is still stretched. ”

Xue Qing sneered for a while and didn't speak, what the previous dynasties said was better than singing. But the time has come when anyone has ever seen a crazy act at any cost or cost.

Wei Qing said: "The emperor will release the mobilization in a few days." Let's go down the mountain. This time. Daddy needs you in Chang'an City to guard the rear for Daddy and the sick town. ”

Xue Qing nodded and sent Wei Qing down the mountain. It seems that he can no longer pretend to be sick.

So before going down the mountain, Xueqing still needs to make some arrangements in advance. He sent someone to find Gao Tianbao, Zhang Quandan and Li Yingruhua. Locked in the room and muttering for a day or two.

After Huo Qu came to pick him up, Xueqing went down the mountain with him and returned to the Hou Mansion in Chang'an City.

I haven't been back for a few months, and I'm still a little used to it. Especially the cottage hot spring at the back of the house, it's so low. These days, Huo Qubing either lives in the barracks or on Lishan Mountain, and there is really not much time to go home.

After returning home, I was cleaning up everywhere, but I saw the god of flowers mysteriously coming. pulled the corner of Xueqing's clothes.

Xue Qing was stunned: "What are you talking about, if you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”

Ruhua whispered: "The slave maid heard that it was the time of the Hou Ye, and some times, she rested on other women's side. ”

Xue Qing was shocked, cheating in marriage? The junior is on top? These two stunned people have also learned these fancy intestines?

Xue Qing waved her hand and instructed Ruhua to bring over the people who were in charge of monitoring Huo Quai's illness in the shadow, and the people around Huo Quai's arrangement. Synthesize the message they say. Xue Qing learned that Huo Qubing had recently met a mysterious woman, and she didn't return all night several times.

Mysterious woman, what is mysterious? The family clan concept is so strong in these years, it's not easy to check the details of a woman, why is this woman so mysterious.

Will there be ghosts? At this critical time.

Li Ying came to visit in person for this reason and told Xue Qing: "Your Highness, at that time, I was worried that Your Highness would be angry, so I hid this matter, but this time it seems that it will not be so simple, because the origin of this woman is really strange. ”

Xue Qing said expressionlessly: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Ying arched her hand and said: "This woman claims to be from Yingshui, but she can't find any news in the local area. The point is that it is secretive and strange. The lowly suspects that she has something to do with the North. ”

A woman who strayed into the military? Beauty snake, beauty trick? What the hell. Xue Qing asked, "That...... Hou Ye and her ......"

Li Ying said with a sad face: "Your Highness, this matter of closing the door is not clear. ”

Maybe it's because it's clear and I don't want to say it.

Xue Qing asked, "How many times?" ”

Li Ying said: "Three times." The most recent one was last night. ”

Xue Qing waved her hand, put away the information sent by Li Ying, and said, "You go first." ”

After Li Ying and Ruhua both went out. Xue Qing was locked in the room alone, you said that this kind of thing happened. What the hell should I think? Take a gang of people to catch the traitor? When a scene of beating the junior was staged on the street, I like to see it.

Three wives and four concubines are not very accurate. In those days, there was only one wife. The rest are concubines. The status is a little higher than that of the big girl in the room. Or it would be more appropriate to use the analogy of the chaotic system of ancient Rome.

For a long time, Xue Qing has occasionally thought about this problem, but she has never really paid attention to it. And now the problem is in front of you. But I can't tell what it's like.

Treachery? Yes, if it is the twenty-first world, then it must be, then it means that there is a big problem in the relationship between two people, and it will generally be unsustainable.

But in this era, if this is used as a reason to make trouble, I'm afraid everyone won't understand.

The point is that Xue Qing herself didn't figure out whether she should be angry or not. Should or should not be considered.

That's when it happened. Huo Quzhi pushed the door in, wiped his head with his brocade and said, "I'm going to Taiye Pool tomorrow, and everyone with more than 600 stones will go." Both the crown prince and the queen will go. If you want to talk to someone from Shaofu, tomorrow is just right, so you don't have to toss it again today. ”

Xue Qing looked up at Huo Quai. I saw him say those words with a calm expression. He opened his mouth to catch it. But after all, it is to bury your head. (To be continued.) )
