Sun Jiao's initial understanding of Tang Yin was that he felt that this was a poor scholar who relied on the throne of the palace to rise to the throne, and he should not have much ability.

Now he feels that this Tang Yin is not simple.

Among the subordinate officials of the Xingwang Mansion brought by the new emperor, there are only a handful of them who can now have an impact on the civil power in the court, and Tang Yin is definitely the best among them.

When Tang Yin said goodbye, Sun Jiao personally sent him out, and on the way, Sun Jiao suddenly thought of something and asked: "Your Majesty is raising money and food in the people, and this matter is handled by you, Bohu?" ”

"It's not."

Tang Yin shook his head.

"Who did that?"

Sun Jiao also wanted to know, what other capable people around the emperor could actually make hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at a time?

Tang Yin was secretive and smiled apologetically: "Old Sun will know in the future." Oh yes, I heard that the wedding date of Ling Yan and Zhu Hao is approaching, so I will say congratulations here. ”

Originally, he thought Tang Yin was very good, but as soon as he turned his head, Sun Jiao felt that this guy didn't know about current affairs.

Don't you know that I don't like this marriage?

But what did Tang Yin mean when he suddenly mentioned Zhu Hao at this time? Sun Jiao couldn't help but think carefully, could it be that the matter of raising money and food was related to Zhu Hao?

Then he dismissed the thought.

Even if Zhu Hao really has the ability to do things for the new emperor, he can't get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver out at once, he is just a young man, a little strategic, or a means of communicating in front of people, but he will definitely not be able to change so much silver!

……

……

Cabinet.

Jiang Mian handed over a piece of music played in Shanxi to Yang Tinghe.

After Yang Tinghe finished reading it, a black line seemed to be pressed on his face, and a gloomy atmosphere came to his face.

Jiang Mian said: "Your Majesty has bypassed the household department and the court, and sent people to the northwest to transfer money and grain...... Now some businessmen are asking the household department how the salt will be distributed in the coming year. ”

Yang Tinghe was silent.

On the side, Mao Ji walked over: "There is also news that His Majesty sent people to the people to collect money and grain, especially with merchants in Huizhou and other places, which is tantamount to exploiting the people." Or someone secretly promised these merchants any benefits, putting the court in an unkind and unjust situation. ”

Su Xigui took the lead in finding businessmen to transport grain to the northwest, even if Zhu Si didn't say anything about it in the court, the local government would be aware of it.

After all, there are all kinds of official road guides, as well as the dispatch documents of the household department, which clearly means that the emperor bypasses many officials in the imperial court to do things.

Originally, the civil official group wanted to give the little emperor a disgrace on the issue of money and food, but it turned out that the little emperor taught them a good lesson.

Without you, I would have been able to fill the hole in the money and grain.

The cabinet could not think of any way for the emperor to solve such a large shortage of money and grain, and thinking that the emperor intended to restore the old system of salt introduction in the northwest, the cabinet people naturally took it for granted that the emperor had deceived those merchants with "tricks" and deceived them to make up for the holes, and in the end it was up to the household department to return it.

The emperor is responsible for borrowing, and the court is responsible for repayment.

Jiang Mian said cautiously: "You can't let this situation continue...... Your Majesty has no court in his eyes, and naturally there will be no ministers such as me in the future. The court cannot let His Majesty do as he pleases......"

The emperor indulged in pleasure, and the ministers objected, but in fact they were happy in their hearts, so that we could decide everything.

Once the emperor is diligent and always skips the ministers to do things, even if everything is done in the end, the ministers will be like a man.

Yang Tinghe finally spoke: "Inform the household department of the situation, and the household department will ask for it tomorrow, and the court will make this matter clear!" ”

……

……

Yang Tinghe couldn't sit back and watch the little emperor mess around, but how to solve this sudden problem, even Yang Tinghe himself didn't think about it.

Now we must make sure that the emperor does not make random promises.

The problem, however, is that it is not even clear who is specifically responsible for this matter, how the money is gathered, and how much food is raised, which is tantamount to saying that the civil servants are passive in this matter.

Just before the incident was about to happen in the court, Zhu Si had already noticed the hidden dangers, but unfortunately he couldn't leave the palace recently, because the Empress Dowager Jiang strictly restricted her son from leaving the palace to prevent him from encountering accidents, and at the same time put an end to his son indulging in pleasures outside the palace.

So Zhu Si could only let Zhang Zuo go out of the palace to find Zhu Hao for countermeasures.

Zhang Zuo said: "At present, plus the money and grain promised by the imperial court, it is worth about 400,000 taels of silver, but if someone turns around and secretly makes trouble, saying that this amount is not enough...... I'm afraid that I will still be manipulated by Yang Gelao. Now I just don't know what they will do. ”

Zhang Zuo was a little anxious.

Originally, he was decent, but secretly transferred the money and grain to the northwest, and after the basic transfer was completed, Zhu Si told the ministers in the court, not only did the matter get the job, but also taught the group of civil officials who thought they had a good plan, and he felt very relieved.

Now there are twists and turns, and the local government has learned the news, and the newspaper has come up and exposed everything.

If the civil servant knows in advance, he will respond to it.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Father-in-law Zhang, don't worry, I think that Yang Ge Lao and they should be more entangled in the question of where the money came from, rather than entangled in specific numbers." ”

Tang Yin on the side asked: "Zhu Hao, I haven't asked you all along, how do you know that the money and grain worth 400,000 taels of silver transferred from the northwest is enough?" ”

The imperial court has not counted a specific gap number until now, and the northwest has always been a pit, and the ghost only knows how much grain it will cost to fill the hole.

In other words, the size of this hole is variable, and at worst, even 10 million taels of silver is not enough, but now it just needs a number that can be accepted by the northwest and can solve the urgent need.

Zhu Hao seemed to be sure that 400,000 taels of silver would be enough to solve the trouble, which Tang Yin and the others did not understand.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Calculated." ”

"How is it calculated?"

Tang Yin continued to ask.

Zhu Hao said: "Just add up the gaps of all parties, isn't there an approximate number?" ”

Tang Yin frowned.

Are you teaching me arithmetic?

If it's really so easy to calculate, the court doesn't have to compete every time, just find a tent room and add one plus, what are you doing with these moths?

Tang Yin said: "Speaking of which, the day before yesterday, I went to see Sun Butang, and he mentioned this matter in front of me, as if he was saying...... At least 300,000 taels of silver are needed. ”

"Pretty much."

Zhu Hao said with a smile, "What he said is the lowest number that can be saved, and the demand is often greater than this, adding to 400,000 taels of silver, it should be no problem." ”

"Oh."

Tang Yin didn't say anything more.

Zhu Hao naturally has a secret in his heart.

Regarding the accounting of the money and grain gap in the northwest, Zhu Hao did not have to do it himself at all, he calculated it according to the summary of history, or the historian before the spring of the first year of Jiajing in history.

At the beginning of the first year of Jiajing in history, the imperial court took Li Yue as the left servant of the military department and the right imperial history, and when he went to the trilateral military affairs of the northwest general system, the imperial court allocated 400,000 taels of silver to him, and Li Yue successfully repelled the Tatar army that was known as gathering 100,000 people to attack.

Of course, these 400,000 taels of silver were directly transferred to the northwest in the name of the inner government after the budget for the coming year.

It's just that the emperor has earned a good reputation, but in fact, the silver has not entered the treasury of the inner government, and Yang Tinghe has no intention of letting the 400,000 taels of silver really be at the disposal of the new emperor.

As far as Zhu Hao is concerned, you all helped me calculate the accounts, and I just used it as a ready-made use, since you think that 400,000 taels of silver is enough in history, you can't say 400,000 taels of silver, you have to add it to 600,000 taels of silver, right?

You can add as much as you can, this will give me a chance to calculate, if you dare to ask for more, I will dare to check, and finally use specific numbers to slap you in the face.

I know that 400,000 taels of silver is enough, and if you have to increase the budget in the court to make trouble for the emperor, that is, you give me the opportunity to use the evidence to fight back against you.

Zhu Hao thought about it, and Yang Tinghe would not add it generally.

Add it to be solved, now the emperor has raised his own silver to cope with the difficulties, and the household department does not need to allocate too much silver, which is a good thing, Yang Tinghe, as the chief steward of the imperial court, is also worried about the lack of money and food, where is the reason to find trouble for himself?

Could it be that Yang Tinghe didn't know that the result of indiscriminately increasing the amount of money and food would cause far less damage to the enemy than the trouble he brought to himself?

"I'll give Your Majesty a plan here, and let Your Majesty deal with it after he goes back."

Zhu Hao means, I don't need you Zhang Zuo to pass the word, I will write a script directly for the new emperor, and I estimate that this script will be related to what happened in the court in the coming day.

……

……

The next day, the court agreed.

As Zhu Hao expected, Yang Ting and the people of the faction were only interested in the origin of this batch of money and grain, and they wanted to know what the emperor had done, and he could get a huge amount of money and grain at one time.

The topic was raised by Qin Jin, the left attendant of the household department.

Zhu Si explained: "The governor Cangchang has reported many times before, and it is difficult for the imperial court to come up with more money and grain to allocate to the northwest, so I want to use the relationship of the first emperor to raise a batch of money and grain from some familiar merchants, so as to solve the shortage of money and grain in the three sides and other places."

"Because this matter may not be successful, and it will take some time to prepare, I have not said it for the time being, and I want to wait for the completion or failure of the matter, and I will mention it to you when I have a specific number to report.

"But now that you ask, I'll tell you directly...... So far, together with the money and grain that the court had previously mentioned in the court, the total value of the money and grain exceeded 420,000 taels, all of which had been implemented, and most of them had been transferred from the south of the Yangtze River to the north. Huang Shangshu of the Southern Household Department played a great role in it, and a lot of money and grain were obtained through his mediation. ”

After the emperor's remark, the ministers present couldn't help but discuss.

Originally, they thought that what the emperor said was pure nonsense, but when the emperor moved Huang Zhan's name out, many people felt that everything seemed to be reasonable.

When Emperor Zhengde took Xuanfu as his home, and when the northwest increased greatly, the imperial court relied on Huang Zhan, the right attendant of the household department, to solve the problem satisfactorily.

Later, when Emperor Zhengde marched south, the army did not return in Nanjing, and when the military salary was lacking, it was Huang Zan who transferred Nanjing Hubu Shangshu to solve the problem.

Huang Chan is simply a machine for making silver.

It seems that where there is him, there is no shortage of silver, the emperor wants silver, and the responsibility of raising it is not Huang Zan who is not competent.
