Seeing Wang Yongguang kicking the ball over, Sun Chengzong and the three of them were also very big, but they couldn't ignore it, who made them the elders of the cabinet.

The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is actually equivalent to the State Council of China in later generations, and Wang Yongguang is the Minister of Finance, and now the Minister of Finance has personally come to tell several premiers and vice premiers of the State Council that there is no money in the treasury now, if you think that I am not qualified as the Minister of Finance, you can punish me, or even remove me, you can do it yourself.

To be honest, the subordinate boss who encounters this kind of head iron also has a headache.

It's useless to punish him, and they don't have the right to remove him from his post, besides, no money is no money, not that the removal and punishment can make money.

Sun Chengzong and the three of them made eye contact, and Han Yicai snorted lightly: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty values you and transfers you from Jinling to the capital to take up the post of Household Secretary, not for you to complain."

We all know that you have difficulties as a household secretary, but if everyone is like you, you will complain and shirk responsibility when you encounter something, which is okay, and is there any system? ”

Han Yi is a square person, and has a national character face, once he puts on a face on weekdays, anyone will be a little scared, and the officials below are afraid of him, but Wang Yongguang is not a soft persimmon, and still said with a straight face: "The matter of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king, the lower officials naturally understand this truth, but now the excerpts of the local government asking for the urgent allocation of money and silver are flying like snowflakes, and the lower officials are really angry, so they came over to ask the three adults to call the shots." ”

"Fire?" Zhu Guozhen immediately noticed this word and immediately asked, "Lord Wang, is there something hidden here?" ”

"It's nature."

Wang Yongguang said loudly: "If the government of Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places requests the allocation of silver grain, it is just that, these places have suffered frequent disasters over the years, and the government knows that it is difficult to be an official, but now even the government of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places have also made a break, saying that there are frequent disasters in various places this year, and asking the imperial court to allocate money for disaster relief, isn't this a joke?" ”

"What...... Is there such a thing? ”

When Sun Chengzong and the others heard this, they were first shocked, and then they were furious.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, and Huguang is the largest granary in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that before Yang Feng appeared, it was they who supported half of the Ming Dynasty, and now even they began to shout that the imperial court allocated disaster relief silver, isn't this a joke? And as far as they know, there are no disasters in Jiangnan and other places today?

"There must be a conspiracy here!"

Sun Chengzong and the three of them immediately felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

Han Yi didn't care about getting angry, and immediately asked, "What else is there, you said it together." ”

"Of course."

Wang Yongguang said: "Xinguo Gong also sent an excerpt, they just defeated the thieves in Mengjin, Henan Province, not only beheaded the thief chief Gao Yingxiang, but also annihilated nearly 300,000 thieves, nearly 200,000 prisoners, and now ask the court to allocate a reward of silver and food, after all, hundreds of thousands of thieves have to eat every day is not a small amount." ”

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong and the three of them felt a headache again.

Jiangnan and other places are making a fuss about asking for food and salary for disaster relief, they can be furious, but the matter of Jiangning Army urging food and salary cannot be taken lightly, not to mention that the individual family still won a big battle, if even the army's stomach can't be filled, then it will be repaid, who else will dare to fight for the country in the future?

Han Yi touched his beard with some distress: "How much food does the Duke of Xinguo report need?" ”

"The Duke of Xinguo said on the excerpt that he needed 50,000 stone of grain and 370,000 taels of silver." Wang Yongguang quickly reported the figures.

"Hiss......"

Sun Chengzong and the three of them only felt a toothache, just after the New Year, the current household is so empty that they can run mice, what kind of allocation do you let them take.

"Alas......"

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh and felt a burst of sadness, Da Ming couldn't even take out the silver taels for rewarding the three armies, what happened to Da Ming?

Seeing the ugly faces of Sun Chengzong and the others, Wang Yongguang also knew that this matter really embarrassed the three bigwigs, he sighed and arched his hand: "Three pavilion elders, the lower officials think that this matter can only ask His Majesty to open the internal money, after all, it can't be delayed any longer." ”

Sun Chengzong exchanged glances with the other two, and nodded slowly: "That's the only way, so let's wait for Lord Wang to ask to see His Majesty with the three officials." ”

Wang Yongguang bowed down and said, "The lower officials obey orders!" ”

"Ge Lao...... Ge Lao ......"

With the sound, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind immediately blew in, Sun Chengzong was old, and he couldn't help but sneeze when he was blown by the cold wind.

Han Yi, who was already in a bad mood, was so angry that he pointed to the official who pushed the door in and scolded: "Bastard, there are no rules." ”

The person who came was a petty official who was in charge of handling chores outside, he ignored Han Yi's scolding, ran to the three of them, knelt down on one knee and said a little anxiously: "Three pavilion elders...... Shin Guogong is back. ”

"Not good!"

This time, the four people, including Wang Yongguang, all looked at each other, and a spirit struck in their hearts, could this be chasing silver grain to the capital?

There was no impermeable wall under the feet of the Son of Heaven at all, and as soon as Yang Feng entered the Zhengyang Gate, the news of his arrival immediately spread throughout the capital.

After entering Beijing, he did not return to the palace, but immediately came to the palace to hand over a sign to ask for a meeting, and soon a eunuch came out to greet him personally.

Seeing the person, Yang Feng couldn't help but be surprised.

"Father-in-law Sandezi, why did you come out in person?"

The person who came was none other than the eunuch Sandezi who was in charge of Zhu Youxiao's side.

It stands to reason that Sandezi, as Zhu Youxiao's personal manager, is only responsible for serving Zhu Youxiao on weekdays, and it is enough to send a small yellow door for rough work such as greeting people, and it is not his turn to go out in person.

Sandezi smiled on his face, "Xinguo Gong has worked hard for the country, and it is an honor for a slave to come out to greet the grandfather of the country, how dare you say the word hard." ”

Yang Feng was also not polite, and arched his hand: "Then Father-in-law Lao will lead the way." ”

Sandezi turned around and made a gesture of please, "Where is it, Grandpa Guo, please come with the slave maid." ”

Yang Feng followed Sandezi to the harem, and Yang Feng, who was familiar with the way, followed Sandezi all the way to the imperial study.

When Yang Feng entered the imperial study, he found that not only Zhu Youxiao, but also Sun Chengzong, Han Yi, Zhu Guozhen and other three cabinet bigwigs were also here, and there was also an official he had never seen before.

After Sandezi entered, he immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Xinguo has arrived!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Yang Feng's figure appeared at the door.

When Yang Feng entered the imperial study, he saw Zhu Youzheng sitting behind the dragon case and looking at him with a smile, and the three elders of Sun Chengzong also saluted him.

He stopped and bowed and said, "Minister...... Yang Feng, the Duke of Xinguo, the Governor of the Three Provinces, and the Governor of Zhengnan, visited His Majesty! ”
