Chapter 158: Kangxi is not anti-corruption?
In the Qianqing Palace.
Yinren and Kangxi, two people with their own thoughts, are playing dumb riddles in the main hall. Even if Cao Hao's matter was decided like this, the result was not too good, and it was not much different from his expectations.
It's just that Yinren really doesn't understand why Kangxi asked Cao Hao to be a companion to the prince of Prince Zhuang's mansion. You must know that the son of Prince Zhuang's Mansion is now just reaching the age of entering school.
The age of entering school in the royal family is surprisingly early, and the prince of the Zhuang Prince's Mansion is now five years old. And Cao Hao is almost thirteen years old, let Cao Hao be a companion to the prince of Prince Zhuang's mansion, Kangxi is not afraid that Cao Hao will play with the prince of Prince Zhuang's mansion in applause?
Yinren really doesn't know what kind of medicine Kangxi sells in this gourd.
I really can't figure it out, and Yinren didn't dwell too much on this. After all, the occasion is not right, Yinren is still on Kangxi's chassis. When I go back, let the secret guard go to Prince Zhuang's mansion to find out what is so special about this Prince Zhuang's son.
Now is not the time to think about it.
Cao Hao's matter has been solved, but the affairs of the ministers outside the door have not been resolved, and Yinren can't leave for the time being. After all, it would be nice to say if Yinren didn't come over at this point in time, but he happened to come over at this point in time.
Yinren weighed it a little in his heart, most of the people who were reprimanded by Kangxi this time were from the household department, and I am afraid that this matter has nothing to do with the word money. Moreover, looking at the degree of Kangxi's anger, this matter is not small.
After pondering for a while, Yinren said, "Huang Ama, ...... this?" As he spoke, Yinren pointed to the door. As soon as Kangxi saw Yinren like this, he knew what he wanted to ask.
The anger that had just been calmed down instantly came back to my heart. I didn't drink the tea I just got to my mouth, and I slapped it on the table in front of me.
"As soon as I say this, I feel angry!" Saying that, Kangxi knocked on the table in front of him with his hand and said, "You can take it and take a look at it, I really don't want to say more!" ”
Yinren was curious, and hurriedly stepped forward, took the fold handed over by Liang Jiugong, and then stepped aside and began to look at it. Under this look, Yinren was also shocked and speechless for a long time.
He knew that the Kangxi Dynasty was full of corruption. But Yinren didn't expect that this phenomenon of corruption had reached such a serious point. Yinren really didn't expect that such a group of bloodsucking insects would be rampant to such a point.
If it weren't for today, this matter would really be unbearable, I'm afraid these people wouldn't have said it at all.
A treasury of Nuoda has been emptied!
Behind this so-called prosperous world, what is hidden is really something dirty. Those people can no longer be called bloodsuckers, but one terrible moth after another. Little by little, the state apparatus is being hollowed out.
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, if these people were allowed to exist, let alone the embankment of a thousand miles, it would be the Great Wall, and it would only collapse with a bang. What else is there to talk about building on the original foundation? After all, the foundation has just been tamped, but it has been eroded in an instant.
Of course, this is only the annual income of the treasury, not all of the treasury reserves. If it was really all the treasury reserves, if he wanted to come to Kangxi, he would directly behead those people outside.
However, even if it is only one year's treasury revenue, it is not a small amount. During the Kangxi Dynasty, it can be said that the treasury revenue every year was more than the previous year. When he was on duty in the household department before, Yinren had already understood that so far, basically the Kangxi Dynasty could earn more than 10 million taels of silver every year.
Ten million taels of silver! These people were able to hollow out all of them in such a short period of time! This amount of treasury revenue should be recorded after the autumn harvest in October.
So far in February, only four months have passed, and it is only a quarter. You must know that during the Kangxi Dynasty, the annual expenses of ordinary people's families were only about forty or fifty taels, which was still relatively better.
10 million taels, I don't know how these people have such a big appetite to swallow.
Yinren tried his best to calm the anger in his heart, and looked at the twists and turns in his hand seriously. While watching, Yinren couldn't help but shake his head. Good guys, these people are okay too.
Indeed, since the forty-first year of Kangxi's defeat, many major events have happened! However, these major events were not enough to need 10 million taels of silver, but these people stubbornly matched this account!
The cost of flood control across the country actually cost 2 million taels! These people are really embarrassed to write that there were indeed many floods before October, and they spent two million taels of silver, and they turned a blind eye and passed.
But this account has been recorded since October. At that point in time, it happened that Yinren was in charge of supervising the country, and the government and the opposition were all aware of it, not to mention the big and small things, but Yinren's memory of such a major event as the flood was still very clear.
Indeed, at that time, there was a place where the flood was handed over and asked for funding from the imperial court. But it's really not much, just two places. And the flood was not too serious, Yinren didn't care too much about it at the time, just let it be implemented according to the original plan. After all, there are many such things, and the imperial court has also experienced.
You must know that it was the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and it was already difficult to have a flood. How dare these people say that they spent two million taels of silver?
This is only the flood, but also the drought in the capital, and the epidemic. These two items are just a small place in the capital, and they have also been recorded as a huge amount of two million taels. The two ceremonies to worship the heavens are even more outrageous.
The previous ceremony of praying for rain recorded 500,000 taels. Kangxi's just-concluded ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was recorded as 1.5 million taels. There is also the military expenditure for the expedition to Zungar, which is recorded as three million taels.
In terms of military spending, Yinren doesn't want to do more investigations, but it must be as much as three million taels. Looking at the account recorded on the fold, Yinren didn't know what to say.
Are these people stupid when Kangxi is stupid or when they are stupid themselves?
After reading all the contents of the fold in his hand, Yinren raised his head, looked directly at Kangxi and said, "Huang Ama, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" How dare these people do this! If the emperor Ama has a place where he can use his sons, the emperor will be able to do it even if he orders! ”
It was only after Yinren said that he spoke for a long time before he heard Kangxi's voice coming from above: "This matter is not allowed"
