This meeting is not as good as a few days ago when Lu Bing was released, the emperor regained power, the two sides met so emotionally, the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers was fully done, at this time, the newly promoted middle and lower-level officials of the Western Party outside are still young, although they are in a high position, but they are not qualified to say anything in front of the emperor, the only one who is qualified in the center of the court, and can say something in front of the emperor, only the mighty duke, Jinyi Wei commanded Lu Bing.

The place where the summons were summoned was still in the emperor's study, and at this time, the smell of the pills in the study had dissipated a lot, and all the pills and cleaning utensils had been cleaned up.

Emperor Jiajing sat at the back of the bookcase, several little eunuchs were running around and waiting, there were thick chapters and scrolls on the table, and when Lu Bing sat down, there were also little eunuchs holding folds and walking inside, looking at Lu Bing's attentive look, the emperor said with a smile:

"Rui Xiaosan only has the appearance of an internal minister at this time, leading a group of people to approve the red mark in the celebrant supervisor, the internal and external minister is the way of peace, and I understand it today."

There was a sense of control in his words, Lu Bing leaned over and said a few words of congratulations, Emperor Jiajing was obviously quite interested, and said again:

"The governors of these provinces in the north and south, the general soldiers still know the severity, and the excerpts everywhere say that the Son of Heaven acts as a saint, and the people below are all in favor, it seems that you and I are both over-minded......"

After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh first, obviously the words that Lu Bing said to him that day were also quite touched, which made him very vigilant, and in the past few days, the recitals and documents of the real power figures in the northern provinces flew in like snowflakes, and the words on them were extremely humble, which made Jiajing also relax his mind.

Lu Bing was about to speak, but hesitated, he could also see that the emperor's mood was very high at this time, thinking about how to wording next, and when he was thinking like this, he saw several palace maids walking in with porcelain pots and jade cups, and one of the leaders said respectfully:

"Hooray, it's time to take medicine."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, the little eunuch who had been waiting there took out a brocade box, opened the box, and a strange fragrance suddenly permeated the study, the emperor took out a red pill, put it in his mouth, took the jade cup and drank water directly, closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, when he opened his eyes, the whole person seemed much more energetic than Fang Cai, and it was like glowing to say it exaggeratedly.

Seeing such a scene, Lu Bing had been in charge of the confidential military guards from the Xingxian Palace's palace to the Beijing Normal University, and he could be said to be well-informed about such things, so he naturally knew what Jiajing was serving, and hesitated there, but still stood up and persuaded:

"Your Majesty, most of the elixirs of these alchemists are lead and mercury, the nature of wolves and tigers, harmful and useless, Your Majesty's golden body, you have to spare your body!"

After taking the pill, Emperor Jiajing's voice was much higher, and he seemed more decisive, and when he heard Lu Bing's advice, he was a little displeased, and said:

"When I was in the palace, if it weren't for the effect of these elixirs, I'm afraid I would have fallen out with those chaotic ministers and thieves outside, where would I be able to regain power today, don't talk nonsense!"

When he said the last sentence, his tone was already a little heavy, Lu Bing sighed secretly in his heart, and he was not ready to continue on this topic, so he paused for a while before speaking:

"Your Majesty, the minister has roughly read the documents of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Criminal Department in the past few days, and the documents of the yamen in various places, and called the small officials of the various departments to ask, and finally have a general understanding, when I met His Majesty before, the minister said that the situation at this time is like being on the edge of the abyss, and it is extremely dangerous, after reading these, I found that the real situation is more dangerous than what the minister said!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Jiajing was obviously a little unhappy, and threw the fold he was watching on the table heavily, and the little eunuchs who were waiting on the side were all startled, Lu Bing knew in his heart that if he was a normal emperor, he would rarely make such a gesture, but those who take pills have such a problem, people always can't control their emotions and are easily irritable.

The emperor waved his hand and repelled the eunuchs, and ordered them to call Grandpa Rui and Admiral Zhou to come to the study, took a sip of tea, and said solemnly:

"The Qing family has also worked hard these days, when Rui Xiaosan and Zhou Lin come over, you can tell everyone about the ideas you have come up, and now among these henchmen of mine, that is, you can see the general trend clearly!"

When he said this, it didn't look like he was taking the medicine, Gonggong Rui's celebrant was near the emperor's study, Zhou Lin was in charge of the guards of the imperial city and the Jingshi, and the power of the imperial horse supervisor barracks was now shared by Gonggong Rui and him, so he was also nearby, and he was already invited to this study after a short time.

When he was still in the Xingxian Wangqian Mansion, Zhou Lin was only a low-level military attache in the palace, and Lu Bing was already Emperor Jiajing's companion and the leader of the guards, and Rui Xiaosan was just a little eunuch on duty, so after coming in, after the two of them visited the emperor, they both stood under Lu Bing.

Although the current Emperor Jiajing can't control his emotions, he knows that the henchmen who can be relied on at this time, these people in front of him are the most reliable, and they also arranged for the little eunuch to show the two people behind, and the monarchs and ministers are all sitting there talking, of course, the three people below are sitting on half of their buttocks, to show that they dare not be presumptuous in front of the emperor.

Lu Bing sorted out his remarks a little in his heart, and began to say quite directly at the emperor's debt:

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and there are only 300,000 taels of silver deposited, which is a big risk."

Hearing this, Emperor Jiajing was stunned, and after being stunned for a while, he said:

"At the beginning of the year, the head of the household said in the imperial court that there are still 1.5 million taels of silver in the national treasury, plus taxes in various places, it won't be such a small amount of silver!"

Lu Bing opened his mouth to explain, it turned out that no matter how businessmen evaded taxes through loopholes and how corrupt officials were every year, the scale of industry and commerce was many times that of the past, so that even if there were so many loopholes in the front, there was still more money to pay than before. After the military salaries of the border towns, the salaries of the officials, and the money that should be spent were spent, there was still a large surplus.

This money is indeed mouth-watering, but it is also different from what others think, it is precisely because the amount of money is too large, so no one dares to embezzle it, everyone is staring at each other, and they don't want other people to take advantage of it. But this does not mean that there is no way to make money, because of the development of industry and commerce, so there are higher requirements for urban infrastructure, as well as land and waterways.

Since it is the needs of businessmen, the civil servants have been busy with enthusiasm that they did not have before, and the Ministry of Industry has come up with a variety of plans to expand the city to renovate water conservancy and widen and reconstruct roads.

Moreover, the real beneficiaries of these roads and expansions are officials, such as a cabinet elder, in the villages of Jiangsu, there are three official roads leading to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and the transportation is convenient, and the gold and silver money is naturally rolling in.

There are even things that seem to be jokes, although the ban on the sea is in name only, but it has not been canceled, but there are courtiers in their hometown on the seaside, wantonly built a sea wharf, to facilitate the docking of sea ships, for this, the Huazhou fleet also issued a special order, that is, this place is protected by the fleet, no one is allowed to make trouble here, this is a bit ironic, but it is true.

For civil officials, the more they spend, the more they earn, and naturally they have this habit, after the annual tax is solved, they leave a salary and fixed expenses, and the rest of the money is allocated as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Emperor Jiajing didn't smile for a long time, but suddenly turned his head and asked Grandpa Rui and said:

"How much silver have you copied from the house in the past few days?"

Rui Xiaosan obviously didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask this question, and hesitated for a moment before answering:

"Long live Huiyu, it's almost more than three million taels of silver!"

Lu Bing and Zhou Lin on the side, including Emperor Jiajing, all understood, what did this hesitation mean, no matter what the eunuchs were, because it was impossible to have descendants, so they were most concerned about things like gold, silver, and wealth.

I don't know how much the eunuchs are greedy for ink, but the number of three million taels still startled the emperor, and Emperor Jiajing scolded hatefully:

"This is six years ago, the world's wealth and taxes for a year, these people are really moths of the country!"

Immediately, Emperor Jiajing opened his mouth again and said with relief:

"Let's just do this money thing slowly, and it will turn around after all, fortunately, in the past few years, the border has been quite peaceful, and there is no big turmoil in the military, otherwise it will be really a social turmoil, and I will have no face to see the ancestors and ancestors in the Taimiao!"

Speaking of this, Lu Bing took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say:

"Your Majesty, this soldier is even more dangerous!"
