"Sun Sheng, how much money do I have in my inner money now?" As soon as he returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Lingyang called Sun Sheng and asked.

"Back to Long Live Lord, there are now a total of eight million taels of silver in the inner pocket, and if you add the silver that Feng Xi is about to send, it will be more than 13 million taels in total." Without thinking about it, Sun Sheng blurted out.

"Why is there only eight million taels in the inner money? I remember that half a year ago, there were 10 million taels! "I heard that two million taels of silver were missing, and Zhang Lingyang was not calm all of a sudden.

"Hooray!" Sun Sheng explained: "There were indeed tens of millions of taels of silver in the interior before, but didn't Lord Long Live order Xiaofuzi to buy a few restaurants and decorate them with one million taels of silver? ”

"That's the thing!" Zhang Lingyang nodded in acknowledgement, but then shook his head and said, "But this is not right!" ”

"It cost a million taels of silver to acquire and renovate the restaurant, but where did the other one million taels go? Also, didn't Xiaofuzi also earn 650,000 taels of silver by selling the invitation to the Chef God Contest before? In this way, a total of 1,650,000 taels of silver were missing. ”

"Also, there are other items in the palace, so after calculation, in the past six months, without my knowledge, the amount of silver taken out of the inner treasury has been no less than two million taels."

"Sun Sheng, you tell me, did someone swallow the silver in my inner house?" Zhang Lingyang stared straight into Sun Sheng's eyes and asked.

"Hooray!"

At this time, Sun Sheng wanted to cry, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Long live Lord, think about it carefully, in the past six months, the monthly expenses of the harem have not been less than 200,000 taels, so if you calculate it, it will cost at least 1.2 million taels of silver in half a year."

Also, the 200,000 taels of silver for the rebuilding of this Heart Nourishing Temple were also allocated from the inner money of the Long Live Lord.

When the Yellow River burst its banks, Long Live Lord allocated 500,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury for disaster relief, and allocated another 100,000 taels of silver to distribute the officials' salaries.

Also, Zhao Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, went to Xuzhou to repair the imperial mausoleum, and allocated 100,000 taels of silver from the interior.

In this way, the amount of silver set aside from the inner treasury is no less than two million taels of silver. ”

"Oh too! I've spent a little bit more money in the past six months! After Sun Sheng's calculations, Zhang Lingyang realized that all this silver was really spent by himself and his woman.

Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Sun Sheng wanted to cry, where is this, this is simply spending money like running water!

But Sun Sheng didn't dare to say it, after all, he was just a minion.

At this time, Zhang Lingyang said to Sun Sheng in a consultative tone: "Sun Sheng, I heard that the household department has collected a part of the tax, do you think I can get back the 600,000 taels of silver allocated to the household department?" After all, those 600,000 taels of silver are my private money, isn't it? ”

"Well, I think it should be feasible to collect debts from the household!" The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Lingyang felt that it was very reasonable to collect debts from the household department, so he said to Sun Sheng: "Sun Sheng, this matter will be handed over to you, and within half a month, you must get back the 600,000 taels of silver owed by the household department." ”

"......" Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Sun Sheng wanted to die.

The emperor asked the household department for the arrears of silver, not to mention the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if he went through the history books, it was also unheard of and unseen.

But Sun Sheng didn't dare to refuse, after all, his net worth, glory, and wealth were all tied to the emperor alone.

Therefore, gritting his teeth, Sun Sheng said with a crying voice: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

Seeing that Sun Sheng agreed to ask the household department for silver, Zhang Lingyang nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, why didn't Zhang Lingyang know that if he did this, it would definitely cause an uproar?

But Zhang Lingyang still wants to do this, just to prevent it from getting worse.

There was no silver in the household, and the emperor allocated some emergency relief from his own internal funds, which was originally excusable.

But once this opening is opened, there will be no money in the household department in the future, will the ministers be staring at the emperor's internal money again?

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang had to do this to show his attitude.

Tell those ministers in the court that the money in the treasury is his Zhang Lingyang's private money, and no one can beat his idea of private money.

Of course, Zhang Lingyang didn't pin his hopes on Sun Sheng, after all, Zhang Lingyang was confused, and he knew that wanting the household to allocate money from the treasury to the emperor's treasury was tantamount to a fool's dream.

However, the attitude must be clear: None of you can make up your mind about the money in my inner pocket.

"Let's wait!" After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Lingyang called out to Sun Sheng and said, "Let's wait until the draft is over to do this!" ”

Zhang Lingyang was afraid that once he sent Sun Sheng to the household department to collect debts, the ministers would make trouble.

In fact, it is not that Zhang Lingyang is really afraid of the minister making trouble, but that he is afraid that the minister will make trouble during the draft.

After all, Zhang Lingyang got a lot of money in this draft......

If you collect money, you have to do things, and Zhang Lingyang is no exception, otherwise if you hold a draft next time, the money will not be so easy to collect.

Therefore, under Zhang Lingyang's instructions, as long as the money is sufficient, the primary election will definitely be passed.

Of course, whether the final choice can be passed in the end depends on Zhang Lingyang's dissatisfaction.

After all, once these women are successfully selected, they will be Zhang Lingyang's women.

Of course, Zhang Lingyang doesn't want anyone with bad conduct or good looks to be successfully selected.

And there are a few women among them, which Zhang Lingyang wants to focus on.

Xu Wanming, that is, Empress Dowager Xu's niece, Zhao Chenxi's cousin, and of course, is now Zhang Lingyang's nominal cousin.

Xu Wanming is impeccable in both personality and appearance.

But the only thing that is lacking may be her age.

After all, Xu Wanming is only sixteen years old this year, and in Zhang Lingyang's opinion, she is still a minor.

After all, Zhang Lingyang is a modern person's mind, so he naturally doesn't like the young girl and Lori.

But Zhang Lingyang also knows that the women who participated in the draft this time are all of this age.

"Let's keep it first!" Looking at the ages of the women on the roster, Zhang Lingyang couldn't help but sigh.

With Empress Dowager Xu sitting in the palace, it is difficult for Xu Wanming not to be selected.

In addition to Xu Wanming, Zhang Lingyang also focused on two women from Sun Ding'an's house in Ningguo Mansion and Zhang Zhiyuan's family in the cabinet, as well as women from the Governor of Liangjiang, the Governor of Sichuan and Shu, and the Governor of Jingbei.

Sun Ding'an and Zhang Zhiyuan need to be co-opted, and the women of the two families will naturally enter the final election, and the women of the Governor of Liangjiang, the Governor of Sichuan and Shu, and the Governor of Jingbei will naturally enter the final election because their families have a lot of money.

As for the women of other families, they are naturally considered according to their appearance, personality and other aspects.

A total of more than 1,000 women participated in the draft, but only more than 100 people made it to the final selection......
