Chapter 426 Budget
Li Yu picked up the fifth note, which was stationed in Liangjing at night, and every three months he sent a record of what happened in the DPRK and China to the secretariat, and finally submitted it to him.
Li Yu flipped through them one by one, and most of the previous content was that he was not interested, or that it would not affect his affairs between the DPRK and China.
Seeing that his imperial uncle, the seventh son of Taizong, Jiang Wang Li Hun, who served as the assassin of Jizhou, was accused of rebellion with his son Wang Wei of Runan County by Zhang Junche, who joined the army by the state record, and his father ordered Xue Sizhenchi, a general secretary, to pass on the press, Li Hun committed suicide in fear.
With Li Hun's timid and greedy character, he only needed to check to know that he was falsely accused by Zhang Junche and others, and before Xue Sizhen came to investigate, he was so frightened that he couldn't pull out a knife and commit suicide all day long, this death is too unjust!
Li Yu shook his head, and he was also convinced by the mental quality of this Seventh Emperor Uncle.
Seeing the last one of the songs, Li Yu was suddenly sucked in his eyes.
On December 16, the Persian king Belus entered the court, and the imperial court awarded him the title of general of the right guard. Belus asked Chang'an to set up the Persian Hu Temple as a meeting place for the Persians, and the court allowed it to be placed in Chang'an Liquanfang.
"Belus's entry into the court does not mean that the Persian Governorate has been destroyed by the Arabs for at least a year or two, and Tocharian and Transoxiana are estimated to be conquered by the Arabs not far away."
"This group of pig-hating guys is approaching the border of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yu was worried, since the rise of the Hejaz region in the Arabian Peninsula, this group of pig-hating guys has spread like a cancer to the east and west in a few decades.
Even in the face of the modern civilization developed in later generations, there is no way to face this religion that was born in the early seventh century, and the civilized world is tied up, and finally it is easier for them to invade the body of other countries than at any other time in history.
"After Persia was destroyed by the Arabs, many people fled to the Tang Dynasty along the Silk Road, and in recent years, nearly 10,000 Persians gathered in Liangjing. With the exile of Belus, it is estimated that more Persians will flee to the Tang Dynasty in the next few years. A few decades later, during the Xuanzong period, several of these Persian descendants still entered the court as officials. β
The Persians believe in Zoroastrianism, that is, Zoroastrianism, which can be said to be the ancestor of Western monotheism, which became the state religion of the Persian Empire before Alexander the Great's crusade. Before the rise of the Arab Empire, it flourished in a vast area from Gaochang in the east to the Lianghe River valley in the west, and was one of the three major religions in the world alongside Christianity in the West and Buddhism in the East.
Zoroastrianism ended up tragically, and only a few remnants of the religion of the Arabs were left in eastern Iran in later generations, and it was greatly despised by the mainstream Iranian society. There was also a group of Persians who were unwilling to give in and convert after the fall of Persia and fled to India, where they obtained the right to settle by changing into Indian clothes, and maintained their religious beliefs through intermarriage until the 21st century, with a population of only about 300,000.
Li Yu felt that it was not a way to let this group of Persians stay in Datang and enjoy a comfortable life, and those who could travel all the way to Datang were Persians who were unwilling to die in the country and insisted on their beliefs, they were often former Persian magnates, and the young and strong were definitely the majority.
Li Yu figured that they should be organized into a Persian army under the command of their king Belus. When the South Seas were well managed, they were transported back to Persia by sea with a fleet to call on the Persians, who did not want to be slaves, to rise up against Arab rule. In order to run the Middle East in the future, prepare for the fight against the pig-haters, and at the same time build a Zoroastrian position in the eastern part of the Middle East to resist the eastward expansion of the NaΓ―ve Religion.
"I have to ask my father to play, otherwise where will I have the right to organize the Persians scattered in Liangjing and the Tang section of the Silk Road?"
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time!" Li Yu took the fifth part of the palace and went to the nearby capital protection mansion.
The summary of the annual work report and financial settlement of the Andong Prefecture and the budget for the next year are major events.
From the Metropolitan Protectorate to Changshi, Sima, and Cao to join the army, the generals of the guards, the fleet commanders, the governors of the Governor's Mansion, and the chief officials of the prefectures and counties all went to the government early to sit in the rank of the officials, with the text on the right and the Wu on the left. Except for the overseas governors, prefectures, counties, and garrisons who do not need to be sent to the headquarters because of the long distance and the same transportation, they can send a subordinate to the meeting according to the situation, and it doesn't matter if they are not sent.
Li Yu sat on the collapse and saw that all the civil and military ministers were all in place, and said with a smile: "Dapu starts." β
Changshi Li Yuan immediately said in a loud voice: "Then first Cangcao will participate in the military Dou Huaike, and report to His Highness on the settlement of the financial expenses of the Andong Protectorate this year." β
Dou Huaike got up and reported on the prepared annual financial settlement report 1510: "Your Highness, at the end of the fifth year of Xianheng, Cangcao will make a financial budget for the first year of Shangyuan according to the various expenses of the Duhu Mansion for a year. The budget amount is 1.8 million guan, of which 1 million guan is military needs, 350,000 guan is the salary of officials, and the other 450,000 yuan is used for the development of overseas immigrants. By the end of the year, there was only a balance of 12,300 yuan in the budget, and the specific expenses were as follows......"
Regardless of whether Li Yu or officials attended the meeting, they all had a financial summary report in their hands, and when Dou Huaike made a report, they also checked the report in their hands.
After Dou Huaike's report, Li Yuan got up and asked, "Your Highness, can your colleagues have any objections or unclear points about the settlement report?" β
Li Yu naturally has no objections, every expense of the Duhu Mansion is recorded in the secretariat, he got the annual financial settlement report earlier than the officials present, or Xin'er organized the little beauties of the secretariat to make it, which is much more detailed than this report.
Li Yulai is just going through the motions, focusing on the budget at the beginning of next year, listening to the opinions of representatives from all sides, and then discussing whether or not to adopt it according to the situation through discussion among the hundred officials, so that it can be included in next year's budget.
Li Yu waved his hand at Li Yuan and said that there was no problem, and the hundred officials did not find any inconsistencies from it.
"Then everyone Aiqing will put forward their own opinions on next year's financial budget, and talk about what needs are needed by various localities and armies."
Li Yu said with a smile.
"Your Highness, the number of troops has not changed in the past two years, and the number of troops that need to be allocated every year is basically fixed. However, in the past two years, His Royal Highness has vigorously promoted overseas expansion, and the number of officials has changed greatly, and he will soon send officials to the cities along the Shaohai coast to implement an administrative system, and the budget for next year's official salary will be 50,000 yuan more. β
Recording the military Cui Yu Qingyu said.
Li Yu nodded in affirmation.
"Cui joins the army, what does it mean that the annual military sound is basically fixed?"
The commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet made Wang Aoke shout dissatisfiedly: "Most of the warships used by our three major fleets were left behind by the imperial court when they conquered Goguryeo. Seven or eight years have passed, and the hulls of every warship have begun to decay, and there is an urgent need to build new warships, which requires a lot of money, and where is the budget of previous years enough? β
Zhang Shi also snorted dissatisfiedly: "The war horses that our cavalry rides are not like people, they have twenty or thirty years in their prime, and there is also a loss of training in peacetime, which requires money to buy new war horses." β
