Chapter 305: It's a pity that there is no money
What will happen in the end has never been finalized.
Zhuo Yilan entered the palace, and Chu Lange followed him into the palace.
When Lan Mu saw Chu Lange, he was stunned for a while, he always felt that this young man was very familiar, but he couldn't think of who she was. It wasn't until she followed her master into the forbidden place of the East Palace, where the master lived, that she remembered who she was.
Chu Lange stepped into the East Palace for the first time.
In the past, the East Palace was almost a forbidden area in the palace, and ordinary people were not allowed to come over.
Emperor Yuan let Zhuo Yilan live in, and his thoughts were clear.
After entering the house, there was no one around, and Chu Lange asked: "Ah Xiu, when will Your Majesty announce to the world and make you the crown prince?" ”
He thought, but alas...... No money. This process of sealing down can cost a lot. Zhuo Yilan lifted his robe and sat down, he felt funny when he thought of this reason, "The country fights a war every now and then, it is really a waste of money, and everything needs silver." The officials below will only stretch out their hands and ask for silver every day, and His Majesty's private treasury has been emptied, where is the silver? And the people's life is not easy, and the tax revenue is getting less and less every year. Last month, several officials called for an increase in tax revenues...... Hehe. ”
Chu Lange raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?" ”
"Your Majesty was furious, and let people raid the homes of those officials, and got a lot of silver. Now the officials of the court and the central government have settled down a lot, and they are all afraid that they will make some mistakes, so that the poor and crazy majesty will find an excuse to raid their home. However, His Majesty really just raided the house, did not convict them, and the position is still there. It's just that...... The family has no money, and it is said that they are too poor to open the pot. ”
“……”
Chu Lange was dumbfounded, could he still have such a coquettish operation?
Zhuo Yilan then smiled, like a hundred flowers in full bloom, full of spring.
Chu Lange was dazzled again.
In fact, she agrees with Emperor Yuan's move in her heart, and now the people's taxes are not light, and if they increase, I am afraid that there will be chaos. The raiding of the homes of those officials can also be regarded as a warning, so that they can live a poor life, so that they do not have to worry about scraping money from the people. However, Emperor Yuan did this, and it can also be seen that the treasury is really seriously short of money.
Zhuo Yilan smiled again: "But the silver obtained from the family is only a temporary relief of the urgent need, and the follow-up has not yet been settled." For example, this year's military pay may be in arrears again. ”
"The silver in the Prime Minister's Mansion last time was gone?"
"Stupid, that money just happened to pay the military salary that I owed before."
"......" Chu Lange was speechless.
Zhuo Yilan said: "So, now Your Majesty has asked me to look at the household." ”
Chu Lange asked, "What's wrong with the household department?" ”
Zhuo Yilan was depressed, "The household can't give birth to silver, so naturally let me think of a way." ”
...... "Where is this drudgery, there is you."
Chu Lange sympathized with this guy. But this world will be his, and he should indeed solve it, according to Emperor Yuan's meaning, maybe it can be said that it is a training given to him in advance. As the saying goes, jade is not cut.
Both of them understand that the country is rich and the people are strong.
A country can only become strong when it becomes rich.
And if you want to get rich, it doesn't depend on individuals, it depends on the people of the world.
Emperor Yuan knew the importance of people's livelihood, so he threw this matter to Zhuo Yilan again. In fact, as Chu Lange thought, Emperor Yuan wanted Zhuo Yilan to practice. In the past, Zhuo Yilan was mixed in the army, and he rarely involved in government affairs.
