In addition to the people, those who came out to welcome Xiaotianjiadao were all the ministers in the court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Except for Jiajing himself, all the ministers, including Yan Song and his father-in-law Lu Bing, all came out this time. Xiao Tian can be regarded as returning from an expedition this time, and won a complete victory, although the opponent is not a Tartar, but everyone is a clear-eyed person, this battle can at least improve the quality of life of the people of Daming by one level, which is definitely a great merit.

Since ancient times, the military merit has been the heaviest, and Xiao Tian's battle, although he feels that it is completely bullying, but it is not too much to say that he has played the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty for decades.

In fact, Xiao Tian didn't want to see them at all at this time, really, he has been in the limelight enough now, and what he wants to see most when he returns to Beijing at this time is his baby newlywed wife, who wants to look at the wrinkled old faces of these old men.

Moreover, being greeted by these old men, maybe the scenery is quite beautiful, but this is really too sinful, so many big guys have come out, do you have to pretend to be honestly afraid? Do you have to say hello to them one by one and greet them? Do you have to dismount and walk over on your legs as a sign of respect?

Xiaotian hurried all the way from Songjiang to the capital, his thighs were worn out, and now he wants to hurry home and hug his baby daughter-in-law to sleep well, what do you say you are messing with me?

However, Xiaotian was born as a serious actor in his previous life, so naturally he couldn't let these bigwigs see the clues, and after the polite greetings, he wanted to go home to kiss his daughter-in-law, but these bigwigs had to pull him to face the saint, saying that Jiajing was already waiting for him in Yuxi Palace.

Xiaotian said, I'm a dusty servant, I have to let me change my clothes, these people all say no, the soldiers who return from the expedition, the more dusty the better, so that it seems to be the death force of the country, Xiaotian thought to himself that I have a special fart of death, whether I threw my head or spilled blood, it has nothing to do with me, in short, you just don't let him go home first, don't let me kiss my daughter-in-law, okay, Lao Tzu endure, who made you official.

Seeing Jiajing, Xiaotian was about to salute, but Jiajing stopped him and said: "Don't salute, today you are a hero, Huang Jin, go and move a chair to Huaizhen, let him sit down and answer."

This sudden courtesy really scared Xiaotian, and it didn't matter if he didn't have to salute, the virtual etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was actually not so strict, and it was after the Tartars entered the customs that he knelt at every turn, but he couldn't stand it

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who are qualified to stand in Yuxi Palace, which one is not a scarlet robe, these people take out one casually and put it on the place, then it is at least a provincial official, but among these bigwigs, except for Jiajing, only Yan Song has a seat.

This is not because of his official position, but because he is old, it is actually quite cruel to let an old man in his seventies stand for half a day, which is why he was given such a seat, and he is less than twenty, is this treating me as a disabled person?

Jiajing saw his thoughts and said: "Today is an exception, today you are the protagonist, so I gave you a seat, and then Yuxi Palace should still stand, hurry up and sit."

Xiao Tian put his mind at ease, first thanked Jiajing, and then bowed respectfully to the uncles and uncles in the room, and then carefully made half an ass.

Jiajing nodded and said, "Bring it up."

I saw a lot of little eunuchs coming in from outside, each holding a huge abacus, and finally a table full of account books as high as a hill.

With a look at Jiajing, Huang Jin came to the table with a smile, opened the first book from it, and read aloud: "On December 7, the forty-third year of Jiajing, the Marquis of Dingyuan entered four ships of various treasures, worth 730,000 taels. On December 11, the 43rd year of Jiajing, the Marquis of Dingyuan entered six ships of gold, worth 1.1 million taels. On December 19 of the forty-third year of Jiajing, Dingyuan Hou entered. ”

While Huang Jin was reading aloud, the abacus of the little eunuchs snapped, and Xiao Tian also understood, whoosh, it turned out that he was calculating the income of the little master's expedition.

No wonder I want to move a chair for the master, this is to support the master. Xiao Tiancai didn't believe it, this account was only calculated today, how much silver was in total, Xiao Tian believed that Jiajing and they had already cleared it.

It seems that the master has not been in vain in the past few years since he came to Daming, and the court has finally begun to pay attention to the sea.

When the final calculation was clear, Huang Jin took the final account book and said: "It's very good, Marquis Dingyuan has earned more than 40 million taels of silver for the imperial court for more than a year." This is after deducting the costs of Dingyuanhou. Dingyuan Hou is really a great achievement. ”

These people in the house all know that this money must be a lot, but there are only a few who really know the specific number, and when they hear the accurate number, they are all a little Spartan, and you must know that the salt tax on Lianghuai is only more than eight million.

All of a sudden, the room was full of praise for Xiao Tian, and he was embarrassed to praise him in the sky and in the ground.

Jiajing said: "I have been paying money everywhere for more than 40 years, this is the first time that I don't know how to spend more silver, this is all your credit, today's court meeting is the last time before the year, the budget of the yamen of all ministries must be made, last year's accounts have been calculated, thanks to you, not only to make up for the previous deficit, but also to have a balance for the first time, plus your more than 30 million, next year must be a good year." ”

Xiao Tian hurriedly said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the kid is only a small achievement." ”

Jiajing continued: "Since the silver is earned by you, how to spend it naturally has to listen to your opinion, you are the owner of the money, you will report the budget of the yamen for a while, you will listen here, see if you have any opinions, just put it forward."

Xiao Tian was flattered, and hurriedly said: "National affairs, where is the kid who can talk more, the silver is earned to the treasury, how to use it in the treasury, the court has its own rules, don't talk about opinions on this matter, the kid just shouldn't even listen to it." ”

Yan Song said: "Dingyuan Hou is too modest, you are now the owner of our people, how can there be a reason to only make money and not spend money?" If you really want to spend it in something inappropriate, isn't it a waste of your fierce loyalty to the imperial court? ”

Xu Jie also spoke; "Yes, Dingyuan Hou don't say anything else, this ability to spend money is also a must, the silver spent from Dingyuan Hou's hands is to be earned back exponentially, who else is more suitable than Dingyuan Hou for this silver."

Jiajing also said: "It's so decided, Huaizhen, you don't have to be modest, you are my god of wealth, you should spend it or not, and you will check it for me." ”

Xiaotian thought to himself, what is the situation? Didn't the master come to make a report? How did it become a report? You also want me to check for the imperial court, I really want to let the master check the gate, why didn't I let the master participate when the account was written off a few days ago? The budget is the money to be spent next year, and there is no such thing as a word, what kind of calf is the master talking to you? (To be continued.) )
