Chapter 437: I Really Don't Have Money
"Get up." Yan Chujing seemed to see through his begging, and glanced at him lightly and said, "But what is the situation in Pingxing, the officials still need to send officials to find out as soon as possible."
"In this case, you order two people to go to Pingxing with the eldest son of An Ninghou on the same day, and find out the real cause of the flood.
"Don't be like Governor Xu, who hurriedly brought over a sentence of too much rain."
"Yes, yes... I understand! Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have let him go, the servants couldn't help but be overjoyed. The tension suddenly relaxed, and he almost smiled a little.
Fortunately, he still had some control in his heart, and knew that he couldn't show his happiness at this moment.
Therefore, as soon as he got up, he hurriedly lowered his head and tried to hide his face as much as possible.
Oh, it's just a temporary release of him, and he's so happy...
Yan Chujing tugged at the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, revealing a faint sarcastic smile.
But it was only for a moment, he quickly reined in his expression, and turned to look at the officials of the household department and the ministry of industry on the other side: "You guys should also get up." In any case, the flood has already happened, and it is useless for me to punish you without figuring out the details.
"The top priority is to contain the disaster and save more people.
"The two of you will also send people to quickly draw up a repair plan, raise money, and go south with the eldest son of An Ninghou to deal with the flood."
"Whoa." The Ministry of Industry immediately agreed.
Anyway, as far as they are concerned, His Majesty's order is to send a few officials who are good at water conservancy projects to the south to draw up a plan and find a way, which is not a difficult task.
Help, they can.
But the household department was embarrassed, and the head of the household department was almost crying after hearing Yan Chujing's instructions: "Your Majesty, the household department really can't squeeze out the extra disaster relief money."
"After the war, the reconstruction of the north and the pension of soldiers cost most of the tax revenue this year, and then Kyoto spent a lot of money to better irrigate the farmland and build water conservancy.
"Coupled with your wedding, the officials' payment of money and the normal expenses of the clan...
"It's... Not only is the income not enough to support expenditures, but it is even a little short, and it has to rely on embezzlement of the money saved in the past.
"But you also know that in the past few years, Dajing has been fighting for many years, and the treasury has long been tight. It's been a long time since I couldn't hold on.
"Nowadays, there are floods in three states in Binh Heung alone, and there are still some places where money is needed in other places.
"We're really... I really don't have any money..."
With that, the Tobe squire buried his head deeply, as if he didn't dare to look at the emperor on the dragon chair anymore.
His performance like this proves that the household department really has no way to raise money.
If there is still a way to go, he will not be like the current "I can't help it, I have to be punished and scolded".
"In addition to this year's taxes, isn't there still money to win back from winning the war?" What is the situation in the Dajing treasury, Yan Chujing is also generally clear.
Therefore, he did not immediately challenge the household, but pondered for him: "Isn't this the indemnity and annual tribute delivered by Beiyan to Kyoto?" Count that part of the money, can't you take it out and use it first? ”
"Your Majesty, the things sent by Beiyan have been counted and stored in the treasury as early as two days ago. It's just that... It's just that most of the things they pay tribute are resources that Dajing does not produce, as well as cattle and sheep skins and furs..."
