Chapter 149

In the Jinluan Palace, the most ugly face was the third prince Tang Shuheng.

Xu Shize is the head of the civil officials after all, and it is the Manchu civil officials who support him, and if he confronts Tang Yu in the future, the situation is not friendly to him at all.

"Lao Jiu, I really underestimate you!" Tang Long's face was also quite ugly.

Seeing Xu Shize stand up and support himself, Tang Yu was secretly glad that all his previous efforts had not been in vain, and Xu Shize, the old guy, was still shaken after all.

When Emperor Tang heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "What the prime minister said is very true!" ”

Emperor Tang knew very well that above this court, I am afraid that the one who really has no second heart for him is Prime Minister Xu Shize, after all, Xu Shize fought with him back then.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has roughly calculated, three years ago in response to the invasion of Great Chu, the imperial court paid a total of eight million taels of silver, if this time to send troops to attack Chu, we must be prepared for a protracted war, the old minister estimates, without 10 million taels of silver, this battle is difficult to fight!" Xu Shize said respectfully.

Tang Huang snorted coldly: "Don't say 10 million taels, even if it is 30 million taels, I have to fight this battle, Hubu, how much silver is there in the treasury at present?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are currently 800,000 taels of silver in the treasury!" Wang Lang, who was the head of the household, immediately stood up and said with a weak heart.

"What? There are still 800,000 taels of silver in the treasury? ”

"Oh my God! That's too much difference from 10 million taels of silver, right? How can you fight a war without money? ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to get together 10 million taels of silver in a short period of time, it will be very difficult, or you should think long-term if you don't attack Dachu!"

Hearing that there were still 800,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked by the civil and military forces.

Emperor Tang was stunned: "Nonsense! How could there be 800,000 taels of silver left in the treasury? Wang Shilang, are you mistaken? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, what the minister said is true!" Wang Lang said with a bitter face.

Tang Huang snorted: "Impossible! No way! ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been in charge of the finances for so many years, and how many silver taels are left in the treasury, the old minister is very clear!"

Wang Lang sighed, he continued: "Among the Seven Kingdoms, my Tang Dynasty was originally weak, and the treasury spent eight million taels of silver in the battle three years ago, and after the war, the treasury contributed millions of taels to the families of the soldiers who died in the war!" ”

"In the past three years, I have worked hard in the Tang Dynasty, and my military expenditure has been more than in previous years; In addition, many counties and counties have no tax revenue at all, and there are disasters in some places, and the court has to come to the disaster relief, and the treasury has no money at all, and among the 800,000 taels of silver, 300,000 taels of silver are still purchased by the six countries some time ago. ”

"It's... How is this possible? Emperor Tang's face instantly became gloomy.

He has great ambitions, and he has been holding back for three years, and the Tang Emperor has always wanted to be ashamed, who would have thought that when the opportunity came, the treasury would run out of money.

Tang Yu stepped forward and said: "Since my father wants to go to war, and the treasury has no money, then it's easy to do, let's raise money together!" ”

"Raising money? Yes, Zhong Aiqing, it's time for you to contribute! "Tang Huang is colorful.

"Raising money?"

Hearing this, the faces of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were all ugly, obviously they didn't want to come out with a copper plate.
