This case did seem very simple on the surface, and Wu Jie only groaned slightly to understand the joints.

In the past two years, the southeastern military has been exempted from a large amount of military expenditure because of the centigold system. Supposedly, the state finances are right because they can take a breath.

However, because the household department had accumulated too much arrears in previous years, once the money was loosened, the officials naturally wanted to make up for the deficit left over from their term of office as soon as possible.

In the past, however, there was too much fiscal deficit to make up for it, and the surplus was sprinkled out, and it disappeared without even a ripple, and it did not play a role at all.

In ancient times, when there was no paper money system, once the country's finances deteriorated, there was simply no way to print a large amount of money and issue national bonds to survive the hardship. Moreover, the ancients were not accustomed to living with a large amount of debt.

As soon as I have money, I think about repaying my debts as soon as I can, but I don't expect that in modern society, which country does not owe debts?

The United States is strong, the world's largest economy, and the debt that can be owed is evenly spread over everyone's head, amounting to 30,000 US dollars. People don't live well, but when they encounter difficulties, as soon as the money printing machine is turned on, they can borrow it. The child eats the grain and rolls down like a snowball.

Japan has a well-developed economy, the third largest economy in the world. But the national debt owed is twice as much as GDP, and they have not collapsed.

As for the four trillion of the Celestial Empire...... Haha, the weather is nice today!

After reducing a large amount of good military spending, in fact, the finances of the Ming Dynasty did not breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, in the past, most of the military expenditures of several million taels a year were borrowed from shortages and loans. Without this expenditure, it is just a matter of borrowing less.

But the emperor didn't know it, but he thought in his heart that if I lost this amount of military spending today, it would be equivalent to an extra five million taels of silver available at once. Okay, just engage in two national projects and repair the palace. Households, take the money.

As a result, the treasury was emptied at once.

And there is no money to pay the salaries of officials in Beijing.

It happened that as soon as Hai Rui was in the book, it was all right, and he was used in tandem by someone with a heart, and for a while, the voice of the upper fold scolding the emperor was endless, shouting out the words to let the emperor go to be the emperor.

This is clearly a ghost made by King Jing's family.

You must know that the emperors of ancient times looked very closely at power, and there was no father-son affection to talk about in front of the imperial power, as long as someone challenged their position as emperor. God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.

If this matter is not handled well, with Jiajing's temperament, I am afraid that King Yu will be bad.

This happened in real history, and Hai Rui's book is a famous event in the history of the Ming Dynasty. However, this was just the personal behavior of Lord Hehai, who annoyed the emperor and was locked up in a prison, knowing that Jiajing was released after his death.

But this time, because King Jing was in Beijing, he turned into a different look.

It has become a document to make Jiajing abdicate.

Huang Jin heard Wu Jie say this, and nodded: "It should be, it should be, it is precisely because this fact is too chaotic and makes people afraid of it, so I couldn't help but say a few good words for Hai Rui, and try to make this big thing small, but I don't want to anger Banzai and be taken down." ”

With a hint of anxiety on his face: "Shizhen, the matter is urgent, let me ask you, are you from Yuwangfu?" ”

Wu Jie's heart was shocked, and he was silent for a long time.

Huang Jin shook his head: "I'm really confused, I shouldn't have asked this kind of question...... For the sake of the country, Shizhen, do you have a way to settle this matter? ”

Wu Jie smiled bitterly: "Huang Gong, Wu Jie has been away from the capital for more than half a year, and he has just come back less than a day, and now his eyes are black, what can he do?" ”…,

After saying a few more words, Wu Jie suddenly remembered something: "Huang Gong, what's going on with this Chen Hong." Speaking of which, Wu Jie and he had a good conversation at the beginning. Why did you suddenly make a dead hand to Huang Gong, and this time when you went back to Xiyuan, you were replaced by his people inside and out, not to mention, and he was also very unkind to Wu Jie. ”

Huang Jin's face changed color slightly: "I suspect that this Huang Jin has colluded with King Jing." ”

Wu Jie: "No, Chen Hong is doing a good job as the governor of the East Factory." And King Yu's future succession is expected by all, how can he burn King Jing's cold stove, isn't this thankless? He's still young, it's better to do nothing. Huang Gong, you are old, and the future palm print eunuch is not his? ”

Huang Jin shook his head: "He can't be a palm seal eunuch in his life, and this person has a great desire for power, so he will take risks." ”

Wu Jie Daqi: "Wu Jie doesn't understand. ”

"From ancient times to the present, did the governor of the East Factory finally become a palm seal eunuch?" Huang Jin smiled lightly.

Wu Jie immediately understood that the power of Dongchang was amazing, but there were many cases on weekdays, and it could be said that there were enemies all over the world.

As a palm seal eunuch, he holds the power of criticizing red, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, similar to the prime minister.

The prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and you don't need to have much talent, the key is to have a charismatic personality, to be able to connect the upper and lower, and communicate and coordinate left and right.

Besides, after being a spy leader for a long time, he knows too many secrets, and it is impossible to put them in key positions.

This is also an unspoken rule of officialdom.

Wu Jie slapped his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart. At the beginning, he had thought of asking the rich king to envelop Chen Hong as a palm seal eunuch, but it seemed that this matter was not realistic at all.

It's a good thing I didn't have time to meet the rich king, otherwise it would have been a joke.

Huang Jin: "Just a while ago, more than a dozen people froze to death in the Wanping snow disaster, and several displaced people entered Beijing. Some officials insulted His Majesty, but Banzai was not polite, and directly asked Chen Hong to beat him to death with a court staff. His Majesty said at that time that it was most appropriate for Chen Hong to do this, and it was estimated that this sentence would stop Chen Hong's idea of waiting to take over the eunuch in charge of the palm seal, hehe, the palm print eunuch can't stick the blood of scholars and civil officials in his hands...... This is the collusion with King Jing. The only person in the world who can give him this position is the ambitious King Jing. ”

Wu nodded: "It should be like this, Chen Hong's motive for this matter is there, and he also has this ability." ”

I was a little nervous in my heart, since Chen Hong had mastered this palace ban and took refuge in King Jing, if Jiajing died in the future, this matter would be troublesome.

As he was talking, suddenly, a eunuch ran over from afar and shouted to the other eunuchs who were guarding here: "Come on, come quickly, the godfather is famous, and he is going to Xinhuamen with his guys, and there are more than a hundred officials coming...... Come...... Collectively sparse ...... He said that he wanted to ask the imperial court for a salary, and begged Banzai to release Hai Rui. ”

Wu Jie and Huang Jin changed color at the same time, and the matter became bigger and bigger.

I had only heard of migrant workers asking for arrears of wages, but I didn't expect so many officials to come and ask for money.

And also under the banner of shouting for Hai Rui.

If it continues to develop, I'm afraid that even the words of letting the emperor take the throne will be able to be said. [To be continued "This text is provided by.] If you like this work, you are welcome to ◣◥ to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. 】
