Spending money is the driving force to make money, and in these years, the most important thing in the imperial court is to make money and spend money, in addition to personnel struggles. Therefore www.biquge.info the annual year-end budget meeting is always a big deal.

Those who can participate and speak at such a conference are all real bigwigs, and all the bigwigs have to roll up their sleeves and go into battle shirtless. It can be said that this is the ultimate confrontation in the court.

To give an inappropriate example, this court meeting is a bit similar to the Standing Committee of later generations, Xiaotian was fortunate to be able to speak here, and Jiajing also gave him the right to participate in the meeting, to a certain extent, it represents Xiaotian from the edge of power, gradually into the core of power, and truly participated in national affairs.

This year's Jiajing is particularly cool, as the emperor for more than 40 years, it is the most generous this year, in previous years, the east wall was demolished to make up the west wall, and the silver was never enough. Therefore, as soon as it came to the year-end meeting, Jiajing had a headache.

This year is good, not only will there be a large surplus in the treasury this year, but it is foreseeable that the treasury will be even more abundant next year.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this year when she finally saw the rice in the pot, Jiajing decided to do a few big things, and use the new rice in the pot to cook a few good dishes, which is also the reason why he allowed Xiaotian to listen.

Jiajing knows very well that the people's evaluation of him as an emperor is definitely not good. Jiajing Jiajing's family is pure, he has never heard of it, Jinyiwei and Dongchang even have the courage to hand it over to him.

However, this did not affect his judgment of his reputation among the people, he knew very well that his reputation might be much better than that of his cousin Zhengde, but I am afraid that it would not be close to the Holy Ming Monarch.

When Da Ming arrived at him, he was already overwhelmed. He tried his best, but he could barely make ends meet. Jiajing himself knew very well that the early years of his reign were better, but by the time Jiajing was forty years old, the burden of the people was close to the limit.

Jiajing is a selfish emperor, when he is the emperor, his own satisfaction is the most important thing, as long as the people do not rebel, he doesn't care if he suffers. He had been mastering this degree for so many years, and he was indeed doing well, but as he grew older, like many old emperors, he began to worry about what was coming after him.

In history, Jiajing was strict in his later years, which had something to do with this, and even let go of Hai Rui, who scolded him in person, if it was Jiajing twenty years earlier, I am afraid that he would have been beaten into meat sauce without waiting for Hai Rui to finish speaking.

Jiajing is the smartest person in the world, once he gets serious and does things for the country and the people, he is definitely a good emperor.

In Jiajing's later years, the Ming Dynasty had reached the point where the country would die if it was not reformed. But reform requires a strong first assistant, which is intolerable to Jiajing, who has a monopoly on power, but he is also capable, and he has maintained the mess for life, and a series of arrangements in his later years are actually preparing for his son.

The vigorous Longwan reform had actually begun in Jiajing, and Jiajing used his monopoly power to pave the way for his son.

Now, he has money without reform, which is a great thing, how can the name behind him be as good as the name in front of him, so he naturally wants to do something for the people, and strive to be recorded in the history books as a saint when he dies.

But after all, he hasn't spent much money for decades, this is poor and rich, it won't be good if he spends the money in the wrong place, Xiaotian is a recognized economist, so it is natural to ask him to check it.

Xiaotian naturally doesn't understand the twists and turns in this, but it's also a good thing to think about it, let you listen to it!

Originally, many bigwigs were able to rank above the court at a young age, and they had a lot of complaints about listening to the year-end summary report, this kid is about the same age as their grandson.

However, Jiajing thought about it in all aspects, first gave him a seat, and then asked Huang Jing to read Xiaotian's harvest in public for more than a year, and put him in a very high position, and then Yan Song and Xu Jie's position was solid, and those who were not convinced could only endure it.

Among the six departments, except for the household department, they are all yamen who spend money, and they are used to saving on weekdays. But no matter how much silver there is, there will always be a number, and it is impossible to meet everyone's requirements. What should be spent and what should not be spent must be discussed today.

First of all, the discussion is about the amount of money that has to be spent. The reason why the quarrel was so fierce in previous years was because even the money that had to be spent was often not made up, so it could only be cut in the east and west.

For example, last year, the Ministry of War said that it would pay the military salaries and silver rewards of the border soldiers, which was a piece of money that had to be spent no matter how you look at it. This is still the situation after Xiaotian has already made a lot of money, if there is no Xiaotian, I am afraid that even the military salary will not be paid.

This year, there is finally no need to worry about these things, all the money that should be spent on the newspaper has been approved, and there is still a balance in the abacus, and everyone happily looks at Xiaotian.

Next year's tax is basically certain, as long as there is no major natural disaster in this area, there will basically not be much change, and it has been calculated just now, but the money for the tax needs to be earned by Dingyuanhou.

Xiao Tian pondered for a while, and said: "Next year will be a bumper harvest year, excluding the cost of Xiaocheng, there is still seventy or eighty million taels of silver left." ”

Wow... When everyone heard this, they all gasped, much more than this year, but they were still shocked by this huge number. This is almost catching up with the government income of the Ming Dynasty for a year, and I heard that this is still after digging out the cost of others.

All of a sudden, the eyes of these bigwigs lit up. Originally, many of the plans made by these bigwigs were used for bargaining, and even many of the plans themselves didn't think it was possible to pass, and now they all came to the spirit, so it seemed that the money was very likely to be spent, and they began to report excitedly.

At this time, the difference between the old and new sycophants is revealed.

Xu Jie was still thinking about how to spend so much money. Yan Song spoke first: "For so many years, it has really hurt Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to build the Wanshou Palace, it has been delayed for so many years, and the construction only started last year, saying that the Purple Mountain will be repaired, and there is no charter until now."

The garden of this West Garden has not been renovated for more than ten years, and the ladies of the harem don't even have a decent set of jewelry.

Even Your Majesty himself, there are only eight sets of regular clothes throughout the year, Your Majesty is a wise man who leads by example! In the past, it was because of the difficulties of the imperial court, there was no way. Now that the court has a balance, of course it can't be wronged anymore. The old minister proposed that the balance of silver this year should be filled into the inner treasury. (To be continued.) )
