Chapter 486: Plague (5)

You're a faint king, aren't you? You were born to harm your son, right? In the past few decades, the treasury has only a million taels of silver, and the grain storage everywhere is seriously insufficient, and the corrupt officials have embezzled a large amount of silver and run away, and they will be in a coma from time to time to show you, and if they have nothing to do, they will give birth to a large number of sons and daughters, and raise dozens of little wives, all of which cost money!

As soon as he encountered a major event, his old man fell asleep very appropriately, and he didn't wake up, leaving a lot of messes for himself and Chu Tianmu to clean up, where is this father? This is more ruthless than Snow White and her stepmother!

What's more, I knew that she rushed to suppress the rebels, it's better than pulling her hair every day and worrying about silver! What kind of life is she, with the money from selling cabbage, and the heart of selling white powder!

Xiling Lan complained fiercely in her heart.

"The last deposit to Yan's firm cost 600,000 taels, we raised a total of 970,000 taels, the treasury originally had 1.13 million taels, this period of time to buy grain and grass, medicinal materials, resettlement of disaster victims, as well as military salaries and Lu expenditures, has spent 250,000 taels, and still need to pay the balance of Yan's firm's grain and herbs and medicinal materials a total of 1.6 million taels, the current gap is 350,000 taels, and it is expected that various expenditures are about 350,000 taels, that is, we still need to raise at least 700,000 taels to survive until the new year's taxes, barely making ends meet. Xu Mengchen held the account book in his hand and gushed endlessly.

The sadness in Xiling Lan's heart flowed backwards, where did she go to get 700,000 taels of silver? That's silver, not bricks!

"Didn't Chu Tianmu confiscate the grain and grass of the King of Nanhuai and the rebels?" Xiling Lan remembered the fold he received in the morning, which said that a lot of grain and grass had been collected, and the victims in the southeast part could be resettled, why was there so much difference!

Xu Mengchen waved the account book in his hand very seriously: "Boss, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to collect this batch of grain and grass and relieve the pressure on the southeast, we would not only need a mere 700,000 taels of silver, but I'm afraid we would have to double it!" ”

Xiling Lan really wants to ask, 700,000 taels of silver is still a mere one, you can give me 700,000 taels to see?

Holding her head and starting to worry, why is her higher status, but more and more short of money? This is not scientific! Why do others become princesses, princesses, brocade silk clothes can't be worn, jewelry is dazzling, and even eating bird's nest is to look at a bowl and pour a bowl. The days are called a drunken dream, comfortable and comfortable.

When it was his turn, he didn't have a day of peace, either fighting, kidnapping, or palace change, and then he had to search for a husband for thousands of miles, and finally found it, and became the crown princess, it's complete!

God, a thunderbolt fell, I'm sorry, the country is in trouble, everyone has rebelled, dear, roll up your sleeves and work! And then every day I was tired like a dead dog, worrying about all kinds of state affairs! It must be the wrong way for my sister to cross, right? Xiling Lan muttered to herself.

Looking at Xu Mengchen with the same sad face standing below, Xiling Lan rubbed his forehead, and was just about to speak, when he heard someone from outside tell him that the medicinal materials in the Xishan camp were already extremely scarce, and he could only support it for one day.

The fruits of these days will be ruined, and the pace of the plague will be closer to Kyoto.
