Su Shi didn't dare to answer, he didn't know anything about national tax expenditure. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he was a little worried in his heart, all dynasties and dynasties have suppressed businessmen, but the Dashun Dynasty encouraged business. This road that has not been walked before, where can it lead Dashun towards, Su Shi has never had a bottom in his heart. As the saying goes, take history as a mirror. But there is nothing in history, so what to do?

He looked at Lu Chengqi worriedly, and Lu Chengqi also looked at the twists and turns on the dragon case worriedly. This was just presented by the cabinet, and the town of Shangshulin came to ask for help. It is said that the state treasury has been spending too much over the past few days, and it has been stretched thin. Even if the commercial tax rate has repeatedly reached new highs, it cannot support the speed of using money like flowing water.

Just when Lu Chengqi was worried, Gao Hao lowered his head, bowed his body and walked into the vertical arch hall, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shangshu Lin Zhenzhong of the household department ask to see you." ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment and said: "I'm really afraid of something, announce that they will meet you!" ”

Su Shi saw that it was the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the household, so he didn't dare to stay longer, and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, the minister retires......"

"Su Qing is slow!" Lu Chengqi opened his mouth and said, "You are the champion and the first, so it doesn't hurt to listen to it." Isn't it just about the spending of the national treasury? I want to see how these two people are going to cry poor! ”

Listening to Lu Chengqi's rogue tone, Su Shi couldn't cry or laugh. In all dynasties, which emperor has behaved like this? Well, it seems that Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, is like this...... Su Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, this ...... It's not polite, right? ”

Lu Chengqi is worried about how to deal with the two people who seem to be in debt, even if he is willing to let Su Shi go? "What's out of order? Su Qing, you are not an outsider, are you still a spy of the enemy country? ”

Su Shi blushed, tried his best to control himself, raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the minister Su Shi is loyal, he is a Han in life and a ghost in the Han family in death, how can he be a spy of the enemy country!! ”

Lu Chengqi saw that Su Shi had already entered the trap, and hurriedly said: "Then what is Su Qing afraid of, after you listen to it, won't you just keep your mouth shut?" High pickaxe! ”

"The little ones are here!"

Gao Ho came out in response, waiting for the next step of landing Chengqi. "Elder Xuanxu Pavilion and Lin Shangshu will meet you!"

After Gao Hao withdrew, Lu Chengqi said to Su Shi: "Su Qing, don't take what I said just now to heart. I was also forced by these two people to have no choice, you see, these excerpts were all presented by Lin Zhenzhong. Xu Chongguang was also a scholar of the household department before, and Lin Zhenzhong was his student, and they wore a pair of pants. What can I do with them? So Zizhan, you have to stay here, I want to hear your opinion. ”

Su Shi is a top smart person, how can he not wake up and realize that Lu Chengqi was using the method of agitation just now? However, he was upright and impulsive, so he could only smile bitterly: "Your Majesty is a good plan!" ”

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "This is not called a strategy, this is called knowing people and making good use of them!" Zizhan, don't say that I can't see that you are too straightforward to be a high-ranking official, and it is easy to offend people. ”

Su Shi was silent and said, "Your Majesty, the minister also knows his own temperament. But when the minister saw the injustice, he was like a fish in his throat, and he didn't vomit and was unhappy! ”

"Do you know why I let you go to the Punishment Department?" Lu Chengqi said slowly, "It's because you need to sharpen so much." You are a piece of jade, and it is rare to preserve the heart of a child. I put you in the Criminal Department because I didn't want to waste your talent for the law, and a large part of it was because of your temperament. Your temperament is easy to offend people, if you have my support in the criminal department, you will not make mistakes......"

Su Shi heard Lu Chengqi confide in his heart, and he was also moved by emotion, and said, "Minister...... How could He De be so loved by His Majesty? ”

Lu Chengqi did not answer, because Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shangshu Lin Zhenzhong of the household department walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty!" Just listen to the two of them, and say in unison.

"Two Qing families, no need to be polite! Come on, sit down! Lu Chengqi said slowly.

A cadre of attendants came in from outside the hall, carrying chairs, coffee tables, and three cups of tea. Su Shi waited for Xu Chongguang and Lin Zhenzhong to take their seats before he dared to sit on half a chair.

"The three Qing families, no need to be restrained, each of them is free to do so!" Lu Chengqi said slowly, "Su Qing is not an outsider, he has just been ordered by me to go out to thoroughly investigate the case of human traffickers, and now he has only returned to the dynasty to restore the order." The three of them are all my humerus ministers, so you can speak freely if you have anything! ”

Lin Zhenzhong looked at Su Shi and then at Xu Chongguang, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lu Chengqi smiled and said, "Lin Qingmo didn't want to talk about the treasury?" ”

Lin Zhenzhong got up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's true!" ”

"Lin Qing played a fold, I read it carefully. It is true that during this period of time, the treasury has spent a little more. But the business tax is collected once a month, how can it still make ends meet? "Lu Chengqi doesn't understand very well, this is all because in this era, the twists and turns presented are all text descriptions, there are no charts, people who can understand it at a glance, I'm afraid there is, and it is not Lu Chengqi, who is half-hanging.

"Your Majesty, wait for the ministers to elaborate." Lin Zhenzhong was a little hesitant, after all, Su Shi was still present.

"Say, listen!" Lu Chengqi said, picked up a golden pen, dipped it in a pool of thick ink, and spread out a piece of rice paper.

Lin Zhenzhong didn't know what Lu Chengqi was doing, so he finally put aside his worries and said: "Your Majesty, the recent expenditures of the treasury are as follows, the officials are about one-tenth, and the military salary expenditure accounts for about one-tenth and three-......."

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, but was immediately relieved. The reason why the expenditure on military salaries is so large must include the research and development expenses of the ordnance superintendent. If you engage in high technology, you can't do it without money. Since you want people to work for you, you must give them a full meal. This is a very simple truth, and it is applicable everywhere.

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and drew a circle on rice paper.

Lin Zhenzhong continued: "...... The Yellow River accounts for about 10 and 2 percent of the water control, and the budget of each yamen accounts for 3 out of 10. The remaining miscellaneous items account for about one-tenth...... At present, the treasury is only 17 million yuan. It is now July, and there are still more than two months before the autumn harvest in September. The minister has done his best to spend as little as possible, but there is still not much left in the treasury, and the minister is ashamed to ...... Your Majesty."

Lu Chengqi listened to him babble a lot, and then put down his pen. Lin Zhenzhong stood up and watched Lu Chengqi paint the whole time. It's just that he doesn't know what Lu Chengqi is drawing, saying it's an egg, it's too round; Let's say it's a juju ball, and there are a lot of small characters on it.

"Lin Qing, look at this, is there any difference?"

Lu Chengqi waited for the ink to dry slightly, then handed the rice paper to Lin Zhenzhong, and then carried his hands behind his back and paced in the vertical arch hall. (To be continued.) )
