Just when Li Shi was very confident that he would fight a huge war of annihilation in the Baiyu Mountain Range and abolish the military strength of Xifan in one fell swoop, the next day, Zhang Yansheng, the servant of the door, invited him to open the Xiaoyanying Palace.

"The treasury is not enough to support the war anymore?" The emperor's mood at this time was like a dog day, and he was suddenly poured a bucket of snow water.

Zhang Yansheng prostrated himself on the seat, and said with Judu Zhi Cui Zao that it was right: the remaining money and silk hidden on the left and right are only enough to support the front-line battle for less than 50 days, and after these 50 days, either Your Majesty will wait for the two taxes this year to be in place, or it will be inconvenient to declare to Fang Zhen, who has surplus finances.

"Why is this happening?" Li Shi was a little puzzled.

Zhang Yansheng and Cui Zao calculated the account for the emperor without hurry: Now my Tang Dynasty is fighting on three fronts against Xifan, which three? Jiannan, Fengxiang Jingyuan, and Shuofang, mobilized nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, and needed 1.5 million yuan per month, which was even greater than the war against Heshuo in the past.

So Zhang Yansheng also added that our Tang Dynasty did achieve a lot of brilliant victories against Xifan, but foreign wars will always outweigh the losses: although the heads of thousands of Tibetan soldiers were cut off, and several barren lands such as Pingliang and Xiaoguan were recovered, the treasury did not have any more inputs because of this, and there were no more options for these areas in the future, one was to make it a no-man's land, but this would not work at all, and it was still the place where Xifan was vertical and horizontal; The second is to build cities and camps, which is a permanent plan, but this financial investment is greater - in short, Your Majesty, do you have money to burn?

Hearing this, Li Shi's fist clenched fiercely, unwilling and painful.

Why didn't he want to achieve a brilliant victory against Xifan that would go down in history?

The soldiers worked the front line and were winning victory after victory, but he was in Daming Palace, worried about money and food.

Wait for two taxes? No, it's still spring, and it's the time of the green and yellow, and the people can't conjure things for you in the fields.

Temporary levy? No, that will definitely be the end of boiling public resentment and self-defeating.

Use Daying, Qionglin's private treasury of the Son of Heaven to subsidize the military? It's not good, I must have a sum of capital in my hand to be at ease.

"In such a good situation, if it falls short due to insufficient supply, how can I reign in the world in the future?" After pacing back and forth for two steps, when he thought that other ways would not work, the emperor reached a consensus with Zhang and Cui and announced to Han Yun, the "God of Wealth".

Cui Zao also took the opportunity to complain to the emperor at this time that the Yanli Imperial Court in the southeast could still ask for one million yuan, but due to Han Yun's obstruction, this money is still in the Yangzi Patrol Courtyard and has not been sent to Jingshi.

"A million?" When the emperor heard this, he was also a little annoyed.

This million guan, plus the remaining money from the Du Branch, is really enough to support me Tang to completely eliminate Ma Chongying, and by the way, it can also meet the needs of Pingliang to build a city.

"What is Han Nanyang's name?" The emperor asked the reason for this.

Han Nanyang said, first, the southeast salt is now returned to the Jianghuai salt and iron transfer envoy, and the second is ......"

"What is it, Ming said!"

Cui Zao didn't dare to slack off, that is, Han Yun had made a speech in the Runzhou Military Mansion, saying that it was too cost-effective to transport cash to the Beijing Division now, and it would cost 10,000 yuan to transport 1,000 yuan.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Angry, the emperor slammed his fist on the screen.

In fact, Han Yun's original words are not very wrong, this Nanyang Gong really understands economics, and he is unwilling to send money to the capital There are plenty of reasons: the southeastern states under the jurisdiction of the navy of our town are so economically developed, and agriculture and commerce are so rich, but every year they have to send a large number of copper coins to the treasury or the private treasury of the Son of Heaven to hide, and once the "natural currency" of gold, silver and copper does not participate in circulation, it will lose its value as money, and Xuanzhou, Runzhou, Suzhou and other places will also be "expensive and cheap" and "money shortage". The mountain sheds will gather and roar, wantonly mint bad coins privately, infiltrate and occupy the market, or covet other materials that can be equivalent to coins, such as salt, so that in a few years, not to mention the economic depression in the southeast of Jianghuai, private money and salt will be more rampant, which is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.

Therefore, Han Yun was opposed to sending money to Chang'an for a long journey, and he preferred to send grain and cloth.

But the emperor wanted everything.

However, the emperor didn't want to turn his face with Han Rong, he wanted to think about it in the long run, so he said to Zhang Yansheng and Cui Zao: "Let's get a sum of money from Han Rong first." ”

Anyway, Han Yun also swore at the beginning, saying that he would fully support the great cause of building the city in Pingliang.

After the summons of Xiaoyanying's palace ended, Zhang Yansheng asked to stay alone, saying that he wanted to discuss matters with the emperor privately.

Li Shi granted his request.

"Your Majesty, in the past, the world's money and wealth were unified at the time of Yang Yan, and now it has returned to the situation of the Du Zhi Division (Cui Zao) and the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy (Han Rong) to fight against the court. Your Majesty, in this world, how can it still be like a world governed by the imperial court? Zhang Yansheng was impassioned.

"What does Qing mean is to reunify the rights and interests of the Du Branch Division and the Transit Envoy?"

"It's okay if it's not unified, but Han Yun, as the marshal of Fang Yuejie, can't concurrently serve as the Jianghuai transfer envoy!" Zhang Yansheng told the emperor that Han Rong was like this, and the military power and power were carried on one shoulder, which was simply terrible.

The emperor nodded, agreeing with Zhang's thoughts, "Cui Zao and I have discussed this matter. ”

"After cutting Han Taichong's rights, he was summoned to return to Beijing, and the ministers were willing to give him the phase." Zhang Yanxiang was moved, and then he bowed down again and plotted to the emperor: "Once Han Yun is transferred back to the Beijing Division, the town navy will be immediately divided into three." ”

"Split into three?"

"However, originally Xuanrun was divided into Xuanshe (Xuanzhou), western Zhejiang (Runzhou), and eastern Zhejiang (Yuezhou), each of which was not under the same control, when Yang Yan was in power, in order to win over Han Rong, he merged the three observation envoys and called the town navy.

"Immediately after the victory against the Western Tibet, I will start to do it." The emperor finally made the decision.

As long as Ma Chongying is destroyed and has martial arts, then Han Rong will not be so frightened.

After Zhang Yansheng rode back to the house, the house slave came to report that Guo Tuo, the judge of the Jinwu Division, was waiting and had something important to tell the prince.

"What, Princess Shouchang and Princess Yanguang, are they really openly arguing in the Fenyang Palace?" Hearing the news, Zhang Yansheng was very keenly aware that the opportunity had come.

Princess Shouchang, the daughter of Tang Dynasty Zong, married Dou Keliang, and wanted to give her son the identity of an apprentice in Chongwen or Hongwen Hall.

And Princess Yanguang's favorite youngest son Xiao Wan, and now he is only relying on the shade of the door to get the position of the prince's palace doorman, Yanguang thinks that Xiao Wan's career will not go on like this, and he also wants to enter the Chonghong Second Pavilion to gild, and then find a chance to take the subject exam.

However, the number of places in Chonghong No. 2 is very limited, and the nod of the prime minister is required.

So the contradiction between Princess Shouchang and Princess Yanguang broke out.
