The cold wind in winter is the most bitter, the grass withers and everything withers everywhere it goes, and the thin dry snow on the ground forms a violent mist under the blowing of the cold wind, flying fiercely in the air.

In such a cold weather, Zhao Zhen's Qianyu Hall is as warm as spring, and six huge copper furnaces are erected in the main hall and continue to exude amazing heat, no way, the Qianyu Hall is too big, if the court meeting is held here, this method can only be used.

For this reason, Zhao Zhen had to announce at today's super meeting that all the great court meetings in winter would be held in Wende Palace, and he glanced at Bao Zheng, and sure enough, this thing nodded again and again, and the throttling of the three divisions was almost done by him to the extreme, and the same is true of Cai Boxi's open source.

The courtiers said on the surface that Cai Boxi, a relative, should not serve as the deputy envoy of the Third Division, but behind his back, they praised him for a good job, at least the court's wallet was bulging, but for Bao Zheng...... The courtiers praised him for being meticulous and selfless on the surface, but behind the scenes, they said that he was cold-faced and ruthless, and elm was not open-minded.

Even if Bao Zheng was old-fashioned, he was not inflexible, how could he be so wooden as the third envoy?

Wende Hall was originally a place to stay and perform, and after the court meeting was dispersed, Zhao Zhen directly named the courtiers who stayed in the performance.

"The third envoy Bao Zheng, and the deputy envoy Cai Boxi will stay, and I will discuss it with the two of you in detail."

The courtiers all know that this is certain, the recent three divisions have been out of the limelight, the matter of throttling has been criticized by the courtiers, and the matter of open source has made the Great Song Dynasty rich and has also led to the prosperity of Western Xia, and the courtiers do not understand why they want to benefit Western Xia so much.

There is no shortage of smart people in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, since there must be a reason for the official family to do this, some intelligent people, such as Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others faintly speculate that this is the tired enemy strategy of the official family. But they naturally won't go up, and Zhao Zhen didn't explain it in the court.

Sancai stood motionless in place with his eyes and nose and nose as if he was a wood carving, this is the official family reprimanding the courtiers, and he can't show any expression, otherwise the courtier's inner servants who offend the courtiers will not end well, and the courtiers' several times will make the officials reprimand the palace people, and punish them severely, who has nothing to do with this crime?

But I have to admit that the official family scolds people...... It's still very innovative......

"Bao Zheng, are you a head made of elm? Look at these songs, the hills seem to be almost taller than me, and they are all yours! That's it... Why did you even deduct the official money of the Hanlin Academy? ”

Bao Zheng said old-fashionedly: "Your Majesty, the so-called official money is the money from the Hanlin Academy to eat and drink in Cai Ji, and the minister saw in Cai Ji's account book that the person who paid was ......."

"I don't want to know who paid for it, the official money is for the yamen's own use, and the people can't use it, so what if the chief invites his subordinates to dinner, you can't let the family return to the third division, right?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Gah?"

Bao Zheng's humble and non-arrogant appearance made Zhao Zhen stunned for a while? When I saw Cai Boxi in tears on the side, I suddenly realized that Bao Zheng was relieving the pressure on Cai Boxi!

"You are quite good at protecting your subordinates, and you are willing to offend people for the sake of Cai Boxi, a kid."

Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has praised it, how can the country's public funds be extravagant at will?" The three divisions are in charge of the world's financial planning, and they consume tens of thousands of dollars every year, and this official money alone is a lot of waste, His Majesty asked the ministers to be in charge of throttling, and the ministers did not dare not be unreasonable, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy could eat and drink out of their own pockets. ”

Seeing that Bao Zheng didn't admit it, Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, after all, this kind of thing can't be said clearly, nodded and said: "This is reasonable, but don't pursue this kind of thing, the official money is only used to entertain subordinates, you don't want to deduct it, too much participation is not good for yourself." ”

Bao Zheng bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Seeing Bao Zheng's response, Zhao Zhen was also relieved, this Bao Zheng is a rare housekeeper, although there are not many open source strategies in financial planning, but it is a good hand to throttle and eliminate the moths of the three divisions, the account books are clear, the review is careful, and even sent people to various yamen to check, otherwise it will never be included in the book, for which a lot of corruption has been found, so that the court has saved a lot of money.

** is an important reason for the decline of a country, today's Great Song Dynasty can not repeat the mistakes of the past, paper is not able to contain the fire after all, once the court **, the people will have complaints, the trust in the court will also deteriorate, public opinion everywhere.

That's why Zhao Zhen will let Bao Zheng preside over the three divisions, Ding Wei recommended two people, one is Cai Boyu, the other is Bao Zheng, the two have their own strengths, but they also have their own shortcomings, Zhao Zhen put both of them into the three divisions, so that they can learn from each other's strengths and make the Great Song Dynasty treasury full.

During this time, the abundance of the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty is really rare, not to mention surpassing Taizong and Zhenzong, even if it is several times more than the Tang Dynasty! When you have money, it's easy to do things, and you don't even know where to spend it.

There is also a very important change in this, the original money of the Great Song Dynasty was used to raise soldiers, raise officials, and yearly coins, but now the three redundant and three fees have been lifted, and the expenses of the Great Song Dynasty have suddenly decreased, and the surplus has become more and more.

"Cai Boyu, what do you have to play?" Zhao Zhen had already noticed that Cai Boyu's hands were turning in his sleeves.

Seeing that the official finally called his name, Cai Boyu hurriedly took out the fold from his cuffs and handed it to Sancai and said: "Your Majesty, this is the surplus of the three divisions this year, the amount is quite amazing, the various yamen of the court have already received the expenses, and the rest is a little suggestion from the minister." ”

Zhao Zhen flipped through the folds, and the income of more than 100 million yuan stunned him, although he knew that the Great Song Dynasty collected a lot of taxes and tariffs, but he never thought that it could exceed 100 million, this is still the surplus money, excluding normal expenses, as well as military salaries and so on.

"Are there enough sweaters?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly asked, which made Cai Boyu a little confused, so he could only tell the truth: "The sales of sweaters in my Great Song Dynasty are very good, and they are sold out in foreign lands, even comparable to silk and porcelain." To say that there should be some of them. ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "How about the subsidy for wool?" ”

This sentence made Cai Boyu's face a little ugly: "Your Majesty, is the imperial court's subsidy for the purchase of wool by merchants too much, after all, the subsidy is not a small amount, and the subsidy should be reduced." ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "No, the subsidy is still the same, and the imperial court can also give a large number of orders to the merchants." Maintain the income of the merchants. ”

Bao Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty means to ration these sweaters to the army?!" ”

Who said that Bao Zheng is old-fashioned, his brain is still spinning very fast! Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "That's right, the army needs a lot of sweaters, and in order to meet the needs of the imperial court, the merchants will inevitably increase the number of wool purchases, and indirectly increase the efforts of the party to raise sheep." ”

Cai Boyu and Bao Zheng glanced at each other, both of them knew the wool plan of the Great Song Dynasty, the effect of this wool has been slowly revealed, it seems that the official family has a new will to be issued. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
