Xu Jie continued: "In addition to the three million for the royal family, the rest of the Ministry of Rites is mainly used for the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian, the sacrifices, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"The ministry has two million taels, and the expenses for the examination in the spring of this year, the palace examination, and the officials of the ministry are all over the place."

"The household budget of 1.5 million yuan is mainly used to provide relief to the victims who were affected by the disaster last year and have not been properly resettled."

"The budget of the Criminal Department is 900,000 yuan, which is a daily expense, which is not far from previous years."

"The Ministry of Industry has a budget of 2 million taels, which is mainly used to build water conservancy in various places and repair some palaces."

"The budget expenditure of the Ministry of War is 3 million, 1.5 million for the war in the north, 600,000 for the construction of warships, and the rest for the salaries of soldiers and soldiers."

When making the budget, the officials of each ministry were counted in each ministry, but the officials of the two capitals, as well as the relatives of the royal family, were directly received from the household department, and then the accounts of each ministry were taken.

As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, Chen Hong expressed his dissatisfaction: "The 14 million silver is basically used up, what about the saint?" ”

All the ministries divided the money, but there was no private money from the emperor.

Xu Jie wanted to say that the emperor said last year that he would not take private money from the treasury this year, doesn't it count?

He didn't dare to speak, and looked at Emperor Jiajing.

Li Chunfang, Chen Yiqin, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others also looked at Emperor Jiajing.

"What do you do?"

Emperor Jiajing sat on a chair draped in a blanket, stretched out his hand, and said: "I have said in advance, from this year onwards, I will not take money and silver from the treasury privately, and the cabinet will not need to have an additional budget. ”

Sounds like how much you love the people.

"Holy Lord, benevolent and holy, the people will be grateful to Dade and praise the virtues of the Holy One."

Xu Jie took the lead, and everyone praised.

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, told them to get up, and then said: "I don't need to take money from the treasury, according to me, starting this year, the royal family should be halved." ”

That royal relative did not have a big house, a large amount of land, and he still licked his face and took a high amount of money from the treasury every year.

I set an example, and the other royal relatives and relatives were halved, so that it was fair.

Emperor Jiajing also wanted to free up more silver for the next reform.

"Holy Lord, I'm afraid that the children of the royal family and the relatives of the country will complain, and they are likely to make trouble."

Xu Jie hoped to reduce the wealth of the royal family and relatives, but he was afraid of offending those people and worried that someone would make trouble, and when the time came, he would not be able to deal with it.

Zhang Juzheng said: "The children of the royal family and the relatives of the country all have rich houses and fields, and they should not take too much money from the treasury. The Holy Lord is an example in the world, and I believe that most of the royal family and relatives can understand the hard work of the Holy Family. ”

Gao Gong said: "Actually, those Yulu are nothing to them. The key is this treatment, which is a status symbol. ”

The words are not finished, which means that Yulu is identity and face, if it is similar to a first-class official Yulu, how can it show how expensive they are.

"This is my will, whoever has complaints, suffering, and can't live a good life, let them come directly to me."

Emperor Jiajing thought about it, and didn't have anything to do with these people, it was just that he didn't want to offend the emperor's relatives, so he came to him directly.

When the time comes, come one, Emperor Jiajing plans to let Jinyiwei secretly investigate, and it is not possible to surpass a lot of family wealth.

The hard work of opening up sources and reducing expenditure is not as fast as checking and greedy ink.

Proper beating, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger can be powerful.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing also knew that it was enough to stop, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would be chaotic, and his position as the emperor would be difficult to stabilize.

"The ministers obey."

With the emperor in front of them, Xu Jie, they were happy to see it.

It's all a bunch of sleek old foxes.

Emperor Jiajing asked Xu Jie to continue: "There are several major events that need to be done well this year, one is to continue to resettle and provide relief to the remaining victims in various places; The second is the spring examination and the palace examination, as well as the next imperial examination. The third is to open the sea, build a water division, and completely exterminate the invaders. Fourth, it is necessary to defend the northern part of the country, and fifth, to strengthen important dikes and water conservancy projects in various places to avoid possible floods......"

Listening to this meaning, it is still step-by-step, and there is nothing new.

That morning, after listening to the budget plan of the cabinet, Emperor Jiajing left.

How to implement it is what the cabinet has to do.

In this way, when you become an emperor, you won't be too tired.

Originally, he was in his early fifties and had a limited lifespan, and Emperor Jiajing didn't want to toss too much and worry about himself.

Leaving the cabinet, he went to the palace of Concubine Wen Jing.

The weather is still cold, she is pregnant, and Concubine Wen Jing basically raises her baby in her palace.

"All down."

Emperor Jiajing asked the eunuchs and palace maids to leave, and he stayed by Concubine Wen Jing's side.

Holding a box in his hand: "This one is for you." ”

"What is it?"

Concubine Wen Jing said curiously.

Emperor Jiajing opened the box, and inside was a brilliant and gorgeous elixir, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

"Is it ......?"

Concubine Wen Jing thought of something and was surprised.

Emperor Jiajing smiled: "That's right, it is the elixir given to me by the immortals, women take it, as long as I am here, you can look immortal." After I ascended to the Immortal Realm, even if you can't go, as long as I live, you will always be able to maintain a young and beautiful appearance. ”

Oh, my God!

Elixir!

Looks Ageless!

Concubine Wen Jing's eyes were straight, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "Holy Lord, is it really a concubine?" ”

It was too dreamy, and happiness came too fast for her to believe.

"Aifei, don't you want it?"

Emperor Jiajing teased: "Then I will give it to Shen Guifei." ”

"Nope."

Concubine Wen Jing hurriedly snatched the box in her hand: "The Holy Sutra was given to the concubine, how can I take it back." Concubine, Xie Shengshang's favor. ”

"Take it now, I want to see what changes will happen to the concubine."

Emperor Jiajing took out a female-only Zhuyan Pill and gave it to Concubine Wen Jing, indeed curious about what kind of changes there would be.

"Hmm."

Concubine Wen Jing did not doubt him, and directly put the pill in her mouth.

Melt in your mouth, fragrant and refreshing.

Let Concubine Wen Jing can't help but close her eyes, let the medicinal power melt in her body, and feel the flying sensation it brings.

Emperor Jiajing looked carefully, and not long after, he found that Concubine Wen Jing began to sweat, and some black things appeared on her skin, and there was some peculiar smell.

"Washing the muscles and cutting the marrow?"

Emperor Jiajing asked people to prepare hot water for Concubine Wen Jing's bath.

He came in person.

After bathing.

"Holy Lord, is the concubine beautiful now?"

The skin is as white as jade, elastic, some of the original spots are completely gone, and the body exudes a faint fragrance, which makes people enjoy it.

"Beautiful!"

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The beauty of the bath is in front.

If he hadn't just become pregnant, he would have pounced.

"Remember, you can't tell anyone about the pill."

Emperor Jiajing endured it and admonished.

"Concubines listen to the holy in everything."

Concubine Wen Jing felt unprecedentedly happy at the moment, in the arms of Emperor Jiajing, the little bird was human, Chu Chu was cute, and very charming.

After staying for about half an hour, Emperor Jiajing finally couldn't help but leave.

Then I went to find Concubine Lu Jing and spent a good night.
