Just like that, the soldiers and generals who are defending against foreign enemies are not happy.

The allocation of military rations is a large account, and the neighboring country has a war from time to time, and the money in the treasury is even more uproaring, and this is about to bottom out.

In addition, the emperor is still a poor and fastidious person, who wants to save face, and every time he holds a banquet or something, he is very luxurious, and this money is even faster.

Every year, the Gong family hands over a lot of money to the treasury, but where can the money be able to afford to spend so much, and the emperor is not so shameless to ask the Gong family to take the money out.

Therefore, the silver in this treasury is always filled up, and it does not last long before it is spent.

The Gong family, which is equivalent to a money bag for the treasury, even if the emperor is unhappy with their more and more presumptuous attitude now, he is only a vague knock, and he really wants to do something, he doesn't dare.

After all, without this Gong family, where does the cost come from.

Speaking of which, she also remembered a very interesting thing that Master Liu told her.

Because the treasury was empty, those harem concubines got some news from their families, and they wanted to raise money to buy a good face from the emperor.

The concubine who was the first to succeed, after handing over the silver taels and objects she received to the emperor, not only got a good face, but also was turned over for several days in succession.

The effect of this incident also made the other concubines think about it.

You're going to get the money, can't I? Anyway, this emperor belongs to everyone, and no one can monopolize it.

So during that period, there were several activities to donate money and materials, but it is reasonable to do this event once, you have done a lot, who has so much money and jewelry to take out for you to play.

Especially those who came out of small families were often there, and they were even more miserable by these concubines.

I didn't have much money, I didn't have many valuables, and I didn't have family support, and the emperor didn't look at them much, so I didn't catch this reward, and I also put my net worth into a big deal, which made their already hard quality of life go down to a new level.

Who can bear this?

So once a Chang was really unbearable, and the concubines who were ranked above him made her pay again and again, and she ran to block the emperor and cried in front of him.

She said it really well, and this matter was somewhat because of his relationship, even if the emperor was angry, he didn't say anything to put her in the cold palace in front of everyone.

However, this incident came to him, and it also made him lose face, so as his emperor, he went down with a dictation, and since then, the palace has not engaged in any fund-raising activities.

After such a toss, the emperor is also afraid that this matter will spread outside, and this time he will not make trouble no matter how poor he is.

And none of those ministers are stupid, with the matter of the harem, they are also afraid that the emperor will pay attention to them.

Every time he went to court, the emperor also looked at their clothes and saw that his eyes hurt.

After hearing these things, Lu Jiaojiao didn't know what expression to use to express her thoughts.

However, the emptiness of the treasury can be taken advantage of.

Now her supermarket also has a tendency to become a big taxpayer, and the emperor will not restrict its development as long as he wants to make more money.

And the cement she is making now is also a way to make money, and after submitting it, she will definitely increase her weight in the emperor's heart.

Thinking about it, Lu Jiaojiao worked harder.
