Chapter 444: Two Different Things

"Do you have acquaintances in the army?"

Guo Wanqing's eyes darkened, his fingertips tapped the desktop, and he explained the situation of Yu Shu in one word.

is so sure that he can get something out of the deserted city, except for the acquaintances in the Zhenbei army, he doesn't have to think about it at all.

Yu Shu hooked his lips and looked at Guo Wanqing, and bowed his head.

"Brother Guo, you can rest assured, the people I know have the absolute right to speak in the army, and I guarantee that there will be no trouble."

She opened this shop, in addition to winning economic benefits for herself, she also wanted to do something for the soldiers guarding the deserted city.

I heard that although the number of soldiers who were assigned to the account of King Qi was the same as that of soldiers in other places, their work was obviously much harder.

For example, in some places, when the garrison of the state capital invades from outside the border, they will not be used for leisure, and when they are used, it will be a big war, and the garrison on the border will always have a mortality rate of several percent more than them. On weekdays, the conditions for them to stand guard are also superior to them, at least they don't have to stand in the wind and snow, shivering from the cold, and they can't hold out for half an hour.

Forget it, if the military salary can be paid on time and in accordance with the amount, it can be regarded as a bowl of water.

But she heard Chu Yu say that since Zhao Shu took over, the military salary of the Zhenbei Army has never been allocated by the imperial court on time.

In the first year, it was once every six months.

The next year, it became a one-a-year shot.

This year is the third year, and so far Zhao Shu has not received a tael of silver or a piece of grain and grass from the imperial court.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Shu was hindered everywhere when he was fighting with Liu Mingtai.

Doing things requires silver, and most of Zhao Shu's family funds are used for military salaries.

Fortunately, this time Liu Mingtai was finally served as a party and a pot.

The upper is unkind, the lower is unjust, anyway, the emperor is far away, and no one knows how much silver there is in Liufu and those petty official mansions.

Zhao Shu was ruthless, and directly cut almost half of the amount back to the Qi Wangfu to replenish the military salary arrears of the imperial court.

Listening to Chu Yu, when he sent Liu Mingtai to Beijing, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, some people asked him why the silver taels on those accounts were not the same as the silver taels transported back to the treasury by Qishan Mansion.

"What does this mean, Lord Qi? After calculating these accounts, it is clear that there are a total of 1.3 million taels of silver, but why is it that only 600,000 taels of silver are sent back to the warehouse. Such a big hole, doesn't the prince want my household to fill it by himself? ”

Looking at the round belly of the Hubu Shangshu, Chu Yu smiled and arched his hand to him at that time.

"Our prince said, and the silver was pressed in the treasury of the king's house. When Lord Gao can send down the military salary of the Zhenbei Army, he will send the silver back to the capital. It is impossible for the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army to risk throwing their heads and spilling blood to protect the stability of the frontier, and in the end they can't even get the money they should get. ”

"Nonsense! This Liu Mingtai's silver for ink is his silver for ink, and it is necessary to hand it over to the national treasury. Silver is silver, these are two different things, how can they be confused? ”

Gao Shangshu listened to Chu Yu's words, his face turned blue and white for a while, and his beard also shook and trembled, obviously angry.

After yelling at Chu Yu, he still felt that it was not enough, so he took the wat board and stood in the center of the main hall, and bent down towards the present on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, that's 700,000 taels of silver, and King Qi said that he would stay in the palace and stay, which shows that King Qi is not subservient. The minister implored His Majesty to order King Qi to pay the arrears of silver as soon as possible. Otherwise, so much silver is in his hands, and he may have a great disaster. ”
