"Taishi, 35 million yuan of money, can the imperial court really take it out?" Li Fu looked at Cai Jing with some concern and said: "Although the king has been reduced again and again, the money of 35 million guan cannot be reduced anymore, and our army has lost too much in order to seize Youzhou from the Liao people, and it is a question whether the 35 million guan of money can pay our pension." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Li Fu's face showed a sad look, as if Li Jing's finances had reached a certain point.

"Master Li, you don't have to be like this, King Tang had a saying that he was a boy who scattered wealth, and the old man didn't believe it, you don't even have the money for the soldiers to pay for them." Cai Jing shook his head and said: "Although there is a lot of money of 35 million guan, but for the imperial court, this pile of treasury silver has been started since the Taizu period, and 35 million guan is still very easy to take out, but why did the imperial court send so much money?" ”

"Hehe, if the court is unwilling to give it, the king is willing to take it himself!" Li Fu said nonchalantly. Although this is not Li Jing's original words, Li Fu is still willing to take more money from the imperial court.

Cai Jing, who was originally still full of smiles on his face, suddenly changed his complexion, and his old face showed even more embarrassment, and finally said with a wry smile: "Lord Li, the situation of the imperial court over the years must also be known to you, the emperor consumes a lot of money every year, Genyue has not been completed until now, and it is difficult to gather so much money in a short period of time." If the king's persecution is too tight, I am afraid that the people of the world will be unlucky in the end! The king is determined to be in the world, if the people's resentment boils because of such a small amount of money, how will those people be willing to follow the king. ”

"This?" After Li Fu heard this, his face tightened, he pretended to hesitate, thought about it, and said: "It's not that the lower officials don't know what the boss said, but this is not only the opinion of the king, but also the opinion of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and he doesn't hide it from the boss, in order to support the battle on the front line, even the queen and the princesses gave up the silk and satin, changed to cloth clothes, and even weaved cloth themselves, except for King Mu and Queen Mu in the palace, the amount of use has been reduced a lot. If the princes are not satisfied with the compensation of the court, I am afraid that even the king will not be able to convince the people! ”

Cai Jing was silent for a while, in fact, he had also heard about the affairs of Taiyuan, the power of the six doors was not simple, and he had already informed himself of the situation in Taiyuan City, but he never thought that Li Jing's wives could actually put down their identities and use weaving cloth to help Li Jing's army. This made him amused and slightly shocked at the fact that even the queen who was high up could give up the silk and do what an ordinary woman could do.

"The queen and the princesses are righteous and admirable." Cai Jing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's just the situation of the imperial court, I'm afraid the imperial court can't agree, even if the imperial court agrees, I'm afraid even the people of the world won't agree, the money of the imperial court is actually the fat and ointment of the people in the world!" ”

"Old lady, in this way, if the lower officials ask for more, it will show the greed of the lower officials, and it also shows the cruelty of the king." Li Fu touched his beard and looked at Cai Jing, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. When did the imperial court attach so much importance to the people and love the people, this old guy in front of him was even more greedy and shameless, known as the head of the six thieves in the world, and he actually said such a thing, it was really shameless.

"If adults can have less money, that's fine." Cai Jing said indifferently, he didn't seem to see the sarcasm in Li Fu's eyes, or rather, this sarcasm was nothing to him at all, he had long put aside the slander of the world and so on, and everything was based on interests.

"Money is indispensable, of course, but it can be compensated for with other things." Li Fu thought for a while and said: "Everything has a price, if the court is not willing to give money, it can use food, weapons and armor, and even craftsmen, doctors, etc. to compensate, what does the Taishi think?" ”

After hearing this, Cai Jing's face not only did not show any excitement, but became solemn, and said: "This matter needs to be considered more, and the old man can't make the decision, and he will do it after the old minister writes to the Son of Heaven." ”

Cai Jing can become a master, his mind is naturally not simple, whether it is food, or weapons and armor, or even craftsmen, doctors, etc., are more important than money, the grain and grass on Hedong Road are not sufficient, and the weapons and armor are also because of Li Jing's lack of background, the army lacks this thing, this is also Li Jing's women come out to weave cloth, and even use it to make leather armor, etc., supporting Li Jing's weapons and armor are used to arm Li Jing's army, how could Cai Jing do this, as for craftsmen and doctors, Cai Jing knows that these people are what Li Jing needs, Even if the court can't use it, it can't be convenient for Li Jing, and everything Li Jing needs can't be given. This is what Cai Jing thinks in his heart.

"That's very good." Li Fu didn't seem to be worried, just touched his beard, and arched his hand towards Cai Jing and said, "Since this is the case, Xia Guan is waiting for the news of the Taishi outside the city and has taken his leave." As he spoke, he led his soldiers towards the outside of the temple.

"Taishi, what's going on?" Yuwen asked as he looked at Li Fu's departing back.

"He has promised the imperial court that as long as he pays 35 million yuan of money, he can redeem Youzhou, and if the imperial court does not have enough money, he can use grain, grass, weapons, armor, craftsmen and doctors to compensate." Cai Jing touched his beard and said, "The old man didn't agree. ”

"Could it be that the money of the imperial court is enough?" Yu Wenxu asked with some surprise: "Thirty-five million guan can allow the imperial court to do many things, whether it is grain and grass, or weapons and armor, there are many surpluses in the imperial court, as for craftsmen and doctors, it seems that they are nothing, and even for the imperial court, these are dispensable." ”

"If Li Jing wants, then he can't give it." Cai Jing shook his head and said: "For example, a craftsman, you know that there is a new weapon in Li Jing's army, called a stone thrower, which is like a huge thunder, whether it is in the county or in the Hongnong War, the stone thrower has played a great role." That's where the craftsman comes in. ”

"Craftsman?" Although Yuwen Xuzhong has some talents, craftsmen also have a certain status in the imperial court sequence, but it is impossible to make the imperial court pay attention to these craftsmen.

"The old man just knows that whatever Li Jing wants, he can't give it. Even if you don't have any use, you can't give it to others, as for money, if you want to come to the court for more than a hundred years, it should be enough. Cai Jing thought for a while and said.

"With so much money, the court doesn't know if it's willing?" Although Yuwen Xuzhong didn't know what Cai Jing was thinking, but thinking of Zhao Ji's style, he didn't think that Cai Jing's idea could be realized, Genyue had not been built yet, money was needed everywhere, and thirty-five million was the people's fat and people's ointment, would those officials in the imperial court agree? Yuwen Xuzhong did not think that the imperial court would agree.

Cai Jing didn't expect so much, he thought that it was very cost-effective for him to do this, at least it would break Li Jing's calculations. He didn't know that in the distant Bianjing, Cai Jing's handover had caused a storm in the city, and the biggest unsolved case in the entire Great Song Dynasty had been born.

The well-defended pile vault was stolen, and tens of millions of dollars were actually missing, causing panic inside and outside the imperial court.

"What kind of place is the sealing pile warehouse, a place that only the emperor and the guards and eunuchs know, and now it is empty, what a big joke."

"Isn't it? How much gold and silver was hidden in that pile? From Emperor Taizu to the present, for more than 100 years, the emperors of all dynasties will hide part of the money in the sealing pile treasury every year, as the money to redeem Youzhou, there was no chance before, but now the opportunity is in front of you, as long as you have money, Li Jing can sell Youzhou to the imperial court, but now there is no money, isn't this a big joke? ”

"If this court runs out of money, I'm afraid it will have to be collected from the people, hey, I'm afraid we will be unlucky."

"Isn't the official family very rich? Otherwise, there would be no Gen Mt. Gen Yue consumes more than millions of dollars every year, as long as this money is saved, let alone a Youzhou, even if it is ten or eight Youzhou, the imperial court can buy it. ”

"If it's really to collect money from the people, I'll go to Hedong Road and go to Ke Li Jing."

.....

In the entire Bianjing City, a storm came out in an instant, from the court to the government and the opposition, and the entire Bianjing City was even more discussed, and I don't know where the news came from, but it soon spread throughout the entire Bianjing City. In an instant, in the entire Bianjing City, all kinds of remarks filled the streets and alleys. Although it is not a war, it is similar to a war, and people are panicking.

"Is there any news from the pile sealing library?" Zhao Ji walked in the palace, a big sun hung in the sky, although Zhao Ji walked on the edge of the Taiye Pool, but the cool air around him did not bring him any coolness, but made him feel irritable. What was lost in the pile sealing warehouse was not only a large amount of money, but also his Zhao Ji's face, even the money in the royal pile sealing warehouse was lost, and Zhao Ji didn't know where else in the palace was safe.

"When I go back to the official's house, there is no news." Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian glanced at each other, and said with a wry smile: "Although at the beginning of each year, a large amount of money will be sent to the pile sealing warehouse, but those inner servants dare not personally inspect it, as long as the box still exists, where do you think that the wooden boxes in the warehouse are empty, and the money in them has long disappeared without a trace." ”

"In all dynasties, the emperors of all dynasties will receive a part of the money from the household department and send it to the sealing warehouse, and there is no loss, I didn't expect that when I came here, there was such a big thing, Youzhou can't help but take it back, if 35 million guan is placed on weekdays, it is naturally not much, but now it is different." Zhao Ji was worried, Cai Jing had already promised the other party, but now he can't come up with money on his side, and spread it, isn't it a joke for the world?

"The money of this household cannot be touched lightly, and the money of the official family is not much." After Liang Shicheng heard this, he felt bitter in his heart, he knew that Zhao Ji still had a lot of money in his inner treasury, and it was naturally possible to pay for the 35 million yuan, but Zhao Ji consumed a lot every day, and if he wanted to maintain Zhao Ji's decaying life, the money in the private treasury was not enough, and he had to get more financial support from the household department, where was the money used to pay for the purchase of Youzhou.

"The official, the servants heard that Li Thief once gave the Taishi two choices, one is to redeem it with money, and if the money is not enough, it can be compensated with grain and grass, weapons and armor, or craftsmen and doctors." Yang Jian hurriedly said. By the way, he also gave Cai Jing some eye medicine.

"Even Cai Jingjing didn't agree, do you think I will agree?" Zhao Ji glared at Yang Jian dissatisfied, he knew that Yang Jian's source didn't have to be slow at all, so he couldn't help but glare at the other party dissatisfiedly at this time. Even Cai Jingjing knows the mystery here, doesn't he Zhao Ji know? Li Jing's real purpose is not money, he himself is a wealthy boy of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has obtained more than 100 years of wealth from the Chai family, how can he care about the money of the sealed pile warehouse, Li Jing wants to need more grain, grass, weapons and armor from the imperial court, and even craftsmen and doctors, etc., to quickly make up for Li Jing's shortcomings. Although the imperial court has these things, they are absolutely not allowed to give them to Li Jing.

"What the official family said is very true, Li Jing is insidious and cunning, and he would rather give up money and choose something else, which is obviously a conspiracy and trick." Yang Jian was embarrassed in his heart, but said quickly.

"Official, my Great Song Dynasty is rich all over the world, and over the years, it has been singing and dancing, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, which family does not have 180 yuan of money, even if we collect consistent money from each family, we can collect the 35 million yuan of money." Liang Shicheng hurriedly said. When he saw that Yang Jian was deflated, he naturally didn't dare to agree with Yang Jian's idea.

"That's the people's fat and people's ointment, if the court collects money from the people, I'm afraid it will make the world laugh." Zhao Ji shook his head without thinking about it, what he said was high-sounding, but he never thought that his daily luxurious life was not the same as the people's fat and people's ointment? Every strange stone on Genyue is actually the same people's fat and people's ointment, for one Genyue, I don't know how many families have been ruined.

"The official family really loves the people like children, and if the people of the world hear it, they will definitely appreciate the kindness of the official family." Yang Jian hurriedly patted his ass, he said with a smile: "The official family doesn't know, my Song Dynasty has been peaceful in the country and the people for many years, and those ordinary people's swill is not even eaten by pigs now, pigs think that those swill are too mediocre, and many families have used bird's nest to rinse their mouths." It's always easy to make money. ”

"Oh, how rich the people are?" After Zhao Ji listened, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, he rarely went out of the palace, even if he went out of the palace, I am afraid that he would also come into contact with the life at the bottom, where did he know the hard work of the people, but he thought that what Yang Jian said was true, and his face suddenly improved a lot.

"Yes, now the people in Tokyo are all grateful for the benevolence of the officials, and 3,500 yuan of money can be obtained in an instant as long as the officials have an edict. I want Your Majesty to be rich all over the world, where do you need to worry about such a little money. Liang Shicheng also persuaded.

"Hmm." Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and immediately waved his hand and said: "It's not good to bear all the burden from the people, so let's bear half of it, and the court will bear half of it, which will also make it easier for the people." Well, that's it, Yang Jian, go and proclaim the decree! Zhao Ji saw that a major matter had been solved, and his mood relaxed a lot, and he enjoyed the scenery along the way by the Taiye Pool, but he didn't notice the bitter faces of Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng.
