As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the temple immediately became solemn.

In addition to burning some paper money, you also need a variety of sacrifices, and even more ambergris incense.

These are all things that cost a lot of money, and even if the inner treasury has a lot of silver, it can't support the day-to-day expenses of fasting.

Jiajing heard that it was silver, but his tone was a little more serious: "Didn't I already order the household department to allocate 100,000 taels of Taicang silver into the inner treasury?" ”

The Ming Dynasty is divided into the inner treasury and the outer treasury, of which the inner carrier warehouse is the place where gold and silver are stored, which is used in Beijing and Nanjing for the military ministers, and it is also the "inner treasury" that is often said now.

Since the first year of orthodoxy, the inner library is no longer responsible for Nanjing's Yulu for military ministers, except for more than 100,000 taels of Yulu for military ministers in the capital, the rest are used for royal purposes.

The money and grain in the inner treasury are mainly obtained from the annual grain converted into silver, and the other is the stolen silver of the confiscated officials whose income fluctuates greatly, and finally the silver of Taicang, Taifu Temple and Guanglu Temple are extracted from the "damage to the public and private interests".

It is precisely in this way that the inner treasury has become the emperor's private treasury, mainly handling the emperor's affairs.

Now, the silver in the inner treasury is squandered, and Jiajing also started the idea of Taicang silver, ordering the household department to allocate 100,000 taels of Taicang silver into the inner treasury.

If you encounter an upright courtier, in the face of Jiajing's behavior of "harming the public and fattening your own interests", I am afraid that you will have to fight for it on the basis of reason.

It's just that Emperor Jiajing of the current dynasty has never been a reasonable master, because he has a firm grasp of personnel power, and officials who dare to argue with him are usually cut off, and even cut off the heads of officials.

What Jiajing did was not only "harming the public and enriching the private", but in essence, he had used the income of the imperial court for his own use.

From the construction of the outer city of Beijing to the construction of the Chengtian Palace, to the countless Taoist buildings every year, and the Xianling Hall in the pipeline, the cost of its project has been far better than that of the previous emperors.

Now the household department is ordered to transfer 100,000 taels of silver into the inner treasury, which is just a routine operation.

"Your Majesty, today the slave went to the household department, but the household department said that Taicang has no silver at the moment, so let the slave be given a few more days! The slave also said that the fasting of the Christmas auspicious dojo of the Fire God and Wang Lingguan Patriarch could not be delayed, but they said that there were still more than ten days left, but the household department refused to allocate the silver, and there was ...... "Sun Long, who was kneeling on the ground, shook things off like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Jiajing's face couldn't help but sink, he knew that it had not been easy for the household department all these years, but he didn't like this attitude, but he immediately said angrily: "Say! ”

The little one quietly inquired, and Ma Sen, the left attendant of the household department, was preparing to escort the military salary to Datong, and the household department ...... The household department can transfer the money to us first, and the military pay can be postponed! Sun Long complained softly.

This......

Chen Hong, who was standing next to him, turned his head to look at Sun Long, who was kneeling on the ground, and was very sure that Lin Haoran had dug the ancestral grave of this family.

Not to mention that there are still more than ten days before the Jiao Festival, the household department only said that it would be postponed for a few days, and as a result, the matter of the general's salary was poked out, and his heart should be punished. If there is a mutiny because of the delay in the payment of military salaries, this goods should be cut with a thousand cuts.

Chen Hong gritted his teeth, but chose to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that Sun Long's words are exaggerated, and the household department chose to escort the military salary to Datong, this move may be another far-sighted plan!" ”

"The emperor of heaven and earth is the greatest, what far-sighted plan can be more important than the emperor's affairs?" Sun Long and Chen Hong had a holiday in the past, and at this time he retorted.

Huang Jin, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

It's just that the dispute between the two failed to continue, and Jiajing threw out his classic words again: "The clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle!" Sun Long, you give the household a few more days, if you miss my business, then let me get out! ”

"Yes!" Sun Long immediately nodded excitedly.

Chen Hong's heart actually intended to secretly help Lin Haoran, so that he would not plant on the 100,000 taels. It's just that Sun Long is so disturbed, the emperor's mind has been decided, and he only hopes that Lin Haoran will ask for more blessings.

There are no impermeable walls, and word of this place spread quickly.

Xu Jie had just accompanied the emperor to participate in the Jiao Festival, and at this time he had already changed his clothes and was ready to sleep, and when he learned the news, an unexpected joy appeared on his face.

Originally, Lin Haoran couldn't do this, and the emperor wouldn't blame Lin Haoran too much. After all, the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty have already been placed here, and it will take time for the summer grain to be transported to Beijing, so it is understandable that the short-term funding is less than 100,000 taels.

It's just that Sun Long poked out Lin Haoran's priority of silver over Datong's military salary, which angered the current emperor.

Wu Shan is also on duty in Xiyuan tonight, although he returned from participating in the Jiao Festival, but because he was in charge of editing the "Chengtian Dazhi", he was also carrying the lamp to read some information.

The summer insects outside had been chirping, and when they suddenly stopped, they knew that there was a visitor, but someone had slipped a letter through the crack in the door.

Wu Shan confirmed the mark on the letter, and after reading the contents, he directly burned the letter and repaired a book for his son-in-law at the same time.

He also did not expect that because of the instigation of a eunuch, his son-in-law would be in danger again, and he might lose the throne of the head of the household department.

The next day, three poles on the sun.

Xu Fan woke up on the bed of the concubine Liu, stretching his limbs contentedly, and Liu, who heard the movement, led the maid in to wash and dress him.

Although Xu Fan is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Taichang Temple is actually an idle yamen, even if he doesn't show up for a day, no affairs will find him.

It's not that he wants his son to be valued by his father, but there are actually quite a few officials like him, and many officials only go to the yamen in the afternoon to show their faces, and it is not uncommon for them to even go to the yamen for a few days.

After eating, Xu Fan walked slowly towards the front yard, preparing to take a sedan chair to the yamen of Taichang Temple, and then go to Xiyuan to talk to his father about his daughter.

Just as he was about to get into the sedan chair, there was a sudden sound of stumbling footsteps outside the door, and a domestic servant ran over in a panic and said, "Big boy, it's not good, our goods have been stopped in Chongwenmen!" ”

Xu Fan suddenly changed color, and immediately asked viciously: "Who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and even dared to stop Lao Tzu's goods, is it not fatal?" ”

Beginning in the Chenghua period, the imperial court officially set up a tax customs in Chongwenmen, and from here all goods entering the city had to pay commercial taxes.

It's just that this is a tax levied on ordinary businessmen, he is the eldest son of the first assistant of the dynasty, and he is a dignified and upright four-grade Taichang Siqing Shaoqing, which unsightly tax official dares to levy a commercial tax on his goods?

He ...... He said that he was Hai Rui, the director of the Yunnan Division of the Ministry of Households! The servant had just entered the door and had fallen, and then he had a sad face.
