On the second day, Zhu Qizhen woke up, rubbing his eyes, and Zhou Guifei was nowhere to be found.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the folds on the bed, the ragged little clothes in his hands, and his thoughts went back to last night.

I have to say that in this era, Zhou Guifei is simply bold.

"Your Majesty is awake."

Zhou Guifei has long been dressed neatly......

When she spoke, Zhou Guifei's sweet voice was still a little hoarse.

Zhou Guifei served Zhu Qizhen to get up, wash, and cook breakfast herself.

It can be said that Concubine Zhou is thoughtful everywhere and serves just right.

"Concubine Ai was not satisfied last night, I, did I feed you?"

Zhu Qizhen asked lazily.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty deliberately bullied the concubine last night, last night."

Zhou Guifei's face was ashamed and angry, and her face turned red.

I didn't think it was last night, but when I think about it in the morning, it's obviously a waste of people.

Zhu Qizhen warmed up for a while, and then went to the Wenhua Palace.

Kim Young told him that the decree drafted by the celebrant had been passed to the Ministry of Rites.

Although some of the emperor's rewards have violated the system, no one in the Ministry of Rites is willing to touch Zhu Qizhen's brow at this time.

In addition, he passed the gas with Jin Lian in advance, and Jin Lian has his own prestige and methods in the Ministry of Rites for so many years.

This time, Zhu Qizhen can be regarded as generous.

A hereditary marquis, as well as a variety of first-class and second-class titles, as well as thousands of silks.

After the holy decree was issued, the first person to come to the door to get it was Wang Zuo.

Zhu Qizhen thought that Wang Zuo had come to thank him before, but you must know that the reward he gave to Wang Zuo was almost the best of Wenchen, and he was on a par with Zhang Fu.

But who knows, Wang Zuo came this time, and he was actually against it.

What he objected to was not the reward, but the money from the reward was given to the household.

"Your Majesty, the household department is already empty, and the household department will never be able to produce this silver."

This made Zhu Qizhen laugh angrily.

The reason given by this old man is really a little too rude.

Wang Zuo's old face was red, but he still stuck his neck.

Although it is natural for Yu Lu to come from the household department, it is natural for a household department to have no money, what bullshit is natural.

No money, no money, just no money.

You must know that every title is a reward.

These are all from the household.

There are a lot of this product and the second grade, and in the past, if one or two copies go down, Wang Zuo will admit it.

But these are dozens of fucking copies.

In Wang Zuo's mouth, the household department has now reached the point where Curry can run a horse, and he is also busy with the huge deficit this year.

Now that the emperor is doing this again, isn't this directly making the household department unable to open the pot?

No, it's not that you can't open the pot, it's just smashing the pot.

Wang Zuo said that the spittle stars flew around, and Zhu Qizhen thought that Wang Zuo was going to do this Wang Lao, and deliberately exaggerated.

With just such rewards, can't the households of the Ming Dynasty be issued?

This is the Ming household department in the orthodox period, and it is not Chongzhen's household department.

Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, the wealth accumulated by the three dynasties for decades, how can it be that as Wang Zuo said, they are no longer able to make ends meet.

Seeing Wang Zuo crying poor, Zhu Qizhen simply asked him to tell him how big the deficit was and where it came from.

Who knows, Wang Zuo was already prepared and handed over the recital from his sleeve.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and looked at it, startled, dense, no less than a thousand words.

This records the large and small expenditures of the imperial court in the past few months.

One of the biggest is this year's pro-conscription.

On the occasion of the imperial expedition, although the summer grain of the Xuanda Seven Mansions was used instead of the marching food.

But after all, it was an army of more than 100,000 people, and more than 100,000 people accompanied it.

It's just going to be money.

As the saying goes, when the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold.

This expenditure alone has almost taken more than half of the tax money of the imperial court this year.

There are also civil uprisings in Zhejiang and Fujian, and the imperial court is also using troops in these two provinces, not only is it a huge expense, but also after the war, in order to restore the people's strength, recuperate, and appease the people, the imperial court must reduce the tax.

Then, floods, droughts, and military disasters in various places, the exemption from taxes and the relief of the relief.

What's worse is that several floods this year are rich places in previous years, and large taxpayers.

It's all against the household.

And the silver that can be used by the household, Wang Zuo did not hide it.

520,000 taels, this is the balance of the previous years and the silver left before this year's autumn grain.

Wang Zuo explained the purpose of each stroke very intimately, what role it played, and how important it was, so that Zhu Qizhen was simply blameless.

The more Zhu Qizhen looked at it, the bigger his head became, and he hurriedly turned to the end, and he already understood.

, let alone break even, this year's fiscal deficit is proper.

Wang Zuo's meaning couldn't be clearer.

Before the autumn grain entered Beijing, the household department couldn't take out a tael of silver anyway to distribute the reward.

Your Majesty, you see, the household department is already in such a big hole, and the old minister is like this, so there is no way.

Zhu Qizhen was also a little embarrassed, as if the biggest royal expedition had nothing to do with him.

"I said first, the reward must be rewarded."

Zhu Qizhen first set the tone, I know the difficulties, let's figure out a way together.

"Master Wang's difficulties are also there, as the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, Master Wang, I will work with you to find a way to get some silver."

Wang Zuo stared at Zhu Qizhen intently, and Zhu Qizhen was a little hairy in his heart.

Sure enough, Wang Zuo's eyes were blazing, and he said: "Your Majesty, please open the internal money to supplement the country." ”

Wang Zuo is straightforward, the internal money is His Majesty's, and the household department is also His Majesty's, and His Majesty uses his own silver to make up for the silver of the household department, and the reason is very good.

As for the household department's internal payment......

There is a clear distinction between public and private, and where does it come from.

Zhu Qizhen's tiger body was shocked.

Damn, this is the idea of hitting me.

Zhu Qizhen reacted to something, there was no money for the reward, this is the reason Wang Zuo was looking for.

As long as you promise to speak, it will never be such a little silver.

According to his wishful thinking, if he wants to catch my wool, he has to die.

I can't say, but all of this year's losses have been filled by me.

And if this opening is opened, won't the court have no silver in the future, and all of it will have to be used with my silver.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Jin Ying, Jin Ying comprehended, and his face was sad: "I'm afraid the prince doesn't know, and there is not much silver left in this inner house......

Your Majesty, it's also difficult. ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately looked like the landlord's family had no surplus grain.

"Jin Ying, how dare you talk nonsense and hide the saint", Wang Zuo retorted loudly: "Among the inner money, there are obviously 200,000 taels of gold and 1.8 million taels of silver, and there is not much left." ”

Zhu Qizhen: Groove, groove, groove......

He, how long has he been staring at this?

Wang Zuo looked like he should be.

How much money is inside, who in the world can have my household book clear?
