Chapter 182: Li Mo lost his words
Yan Song's sycophant shot is too beautiful. In www.biquge.info entire history of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing was indeed the emperor who spent the least amount of personal expenses.
Many of Yan Song's words are true, but in fact, not all of them are like this.
Jiajing spends less, not only because he is sympathetic to the people, but also has nothing to do with thrift, excluding the objective fact that the court has no money, a large part of the reason why he spends less money is because of his cultivation!
Jiajing is a very strange emperor, in addition to the government, the only hobby is cultivation, it should be said that his main business is cultivation, and his hobby is to deal with national affairs.
Cultivators are not good women, since more than 20 years ago, he was almost strangled to death by the palace maids, he has not lived in Ouchi for a day, and now the palace maids in Ouchi are stunned to find anyone under the age of thirty, it is conceivable that he has lost much money on the palace maid alone.
Jiajing doesn't live in Ouchi, Ouchi's expenses naturally drop sharply, he lives in Xiyuan, but Xiyuan is a little bigger, whether it is the people who serve, or the things used, they are much more saving than in Ouchi.
Compared with other emperors, Jiajing has fewer wives and sons. He had five sons in total, two of whom died, and not many daughters-in-law, and it didn't cost him much money in total. Because there are few wives, there are few fathers-in-law. On weekdays, the rewards he gives to the harem are even more pitiful.
Jiajing is not a woman, she is good at alchemy, of course, it costs money to cultivate to alchemy.
However, alchemy is nothing more than spending some money on medicinal materials, and he eats it alone, so how many can he eat even if he eats golden beans in one meal? In addition, his biggest expense was to build a few Taoist temples.
This incident tells us that women are the main force of consumption. No matter how a man is playing, his consumption will not be outrageously high, so those companies in later generations will find ways to focus on women.
In this way, he, the emperor, deserves to be diligent and thrifty. As for saying that it only has eight sets of regular clothes in all seasons, so why should he hurry up and pretend to be good? Other emperors have four different clothes in the four seasons, and we don't invade the cold and heat, so what do you want so many messy clothes.
In fact, in the past few years, Xiaotian has not gone to the inner treasury to get silver, and a lot of money is the internal account that he and the twenty-four yamen have walked, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces don't even know a specific number, but it is certain that with Xiaotian's filial piety, the inner treasury now meets the quality of life requirements of Jiajing, and it is not a problem at all.
However, Jiajing is still poor, and in the past few decades, it has been too hard for him to pick out some silver flowers from the inner library. At this time, the cabinet took the initiative to send the silver to him, how could he not accept it? Habitually take it and talk about it.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to agree, the ignorant Li Mo stood up and said: "Yan Ge Lao's words are wrong, the world is withering, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and there will be no big expenses in the palace next year, although the year is good now, but the treasury cannot be without silver, the silver earned by Dingyuan Hou is next year after all, if there is a big disaster in the world before Dingyuan Hou's next sum of silver is recorded, and the treasury will be empty at that time, it will be a big mess." ”
Anyway, there are a lot of balabala, and the central idea is only one, and this money can't be moved.
Jiajing was so angry in his heart, he thought, what do you mean by this? In the past, the treasury was empty, and the deficit could not be made up, so if you didn't give me money to spend, I was not the ignorant dumb king.
Now that the imperial court already has money, why don't you give me flowers? What else do you say that there are no big projects in the palace, there are no projects, don't I need to save money? If it really happens to be a disaster year, where will the silver come from, but I can still hold on to the silver and see if my people will starve to death?
Yan Song's heart was happy, he thought it was just a sycophant, how could he have thought of such a big windfall?
With his understanding of Jiajing, Jiaxing must have hated Li Mo at this time, not because of this money, but because Li Mo violated Jiajing's taboo.
Jiajing is an emperor who attaches great importance to his own authority, and he has been able to be the head of the court for more than ten years, largely because he is obedient and sensible, and does not work against Jiajing.
As for Yan Song, in order to pretend to be wronged, he really did everything, even his godson Zhao Wenhua fell, he didn't intervene, and it is estimated that the dress should be almost the same by now.
As for Li Mo, in the past two years, because of Jiajing's support and Yan Song's concession, Li Mo faintly has the feeling of being the first person to go up. On weekdays, he didn't even give Xu Jie's face, but on the surface, there was a feeling that Li Mo's family was dominant.
If it hadn't been for today, Li Mo might have been in the limelight for two years, but as soon as today's words came out, Yan Song knew that Li Mo didn't have a few good days.
Such a good opportunity, Yan Song understood, Yan Shifan naturally understood, the father and son cooperated very tacitly, and without even a look, Yan Shifan stood up and said:
"Li Shiyan, what do you mean? Under the whole world, is it not the king's land and the shore of the land? In the past, the national treasury was empty, Your Majesty understood our difficulties, and took pity on the people of the world, but now that the court has money, the balance is filled into the inner treasury, which is a matter of course. ”
This sentence can be regarded as talking about Jiading's heart. The year before last, Jiajing was in a good mood when he celebrated his birthday, maybe he drank too much, and rewarded his two sons with 100,000 taels of silver in one go, but of course it turned out to be embarrassing.
The cash in the inner treasury is a total of 80,000 taels, and it has to be kept for daily expenses.
But as the saying goes, Jun has no jokes, Jiajing and his son have blown out all the, if you can't reward it, you will be slapped in the face.
So I can only ask the household department, but there is no money in the treasury, the little money in the treasury is useful, and it is not suitable to move any of them, and in the end Jiajing has no choice but to pay 50,000 taels to the treasury in the name of borrowing, which is the pain in Jiajing's heart.
Yan Shifan finally concluded his speech, pointed at Li Mo's nose and scolded: "This world is Your Majesty's world, the imperial court is Your Majesty's court, and the money in the treasury is Your Majesty's, not your Li Mo's." ”
Li Mo was also stunned, thinking, I'm just talking about things, why did I go online, such a big hat is buckled on my head, this is going to kill me.
Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Li Mo's body flowed out vigorously, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant!" ”
Of course he didn't mean that, the silver was stored in the treasury, and if there was any urgency, they could spend it as they wanted. But once it is stored in the inner treasury, Jiajing is a Pixiu, only in and out of the master, even if there is any urgency, it will not be so happy to really give it to you first. Anyway, it's not a deposit of silver, how can this be brought to me after the two of them said this? (To be continued.) )
