Chapter 553: The Monarch and the Ministers Bargain

After a group of people went down, except for Chen Xun, everyone else happily came to the Wenhua Palace, only Chen Xun pulled his crotch and faced, if he could, he really didn't want to enter this palace today.

When they entered the temple, everyone saluted.

Zhu Jianji smiled and gave everyone a smile, and said: "Dai Yi, hurry up, give our great hero Chen Shangshu a seat, and make a pot of my pre-Ming Longjing, so that Chen Shangshu can produce good products." ”

Give the seat, give the tea.

High-end treatment has been arranged for Chen Dashangshu!

Chen Xun suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles.

He now has a feeling that he has become a fish and meat, and he is going to be slaughtered by His Majesty Emperor Guang'an.

He even had the idea of finding an excuse to leave.

And there is no fear of retaliation from His Majesty Emperor Guang'an.

With the mind of His Majesty Emperor Guang'an, Chen Xun really didn't worry that he would wear small shoes after disobeying His Majesty's will, but he thought about it, there was no need, wasn't it just money.

Zhu Jianji glanced at the group of people with a smile, and said with a smile: "You all came to me to ask for money before, it's not that I won't give it to you, there is no way, the south is at war, the daily consumption is huge, and the northern town is also consumed by more than 100,000 people, I think there is really no money in the treasury, after all, the promotion of agricultural planting and textile industrialization in the Vulture Department and the Turgunt Department has all been postponed to next year's installment, but I didn't expect it, our God of Wealth Chen Dashangshu gave us a surprise." ”

Everyone looked at Chen Xun with a smile.

Chen Xun's face was expressionless.

But his heart is very piercing, as a household book, the treasury has a surplus, and he also has the confidence to do things, and now His Majesty means that he obviously wants to take out this money and spend it.

The household is really poor.

Coughing, Chen Xun said: "The household department can take out the money, but it won't take too much, and it is better to save some, lest there be a major blood disaster in some parts of the country in the cold winter of this year. ”

Zhu Jianji hurriedly said: "It should be, it should be." ”

And he said, "How much can the household department take out?" ”

On the way here, Chen Xun had already calculated that the money that the household department could take out must not exceed fifteen million taels, and half of it must be kept in case of emergency.

After all, now the volume of Daming has more Northeast, Taiwan and Jiaozhi.

Especially in Tohoku and Cochin, it can cost a lot of money at any time.

The Jurchen and Jiaozhi natives, as long as one of the local capitals is careless, there may be riots, and quelling the riots requires a lot of financial support, so as to avoid a bad situation of sparks burning the plains.

Chen Xun slowly stretched out five fingers, "So much in one slap." ”

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "It's less, Chen Shangshu doesn't want to be stingy, no matter what, he has to get that 25 million taels, just 5 million, and he can't do anything practical." ”

Don't you see so many people here waiting to get money to do something?

Chen Xun's face twitched, and he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the balance on the ledger does not mean that there is so much money in the treasury at present, but by the end of the year, the treasury of the household department can save so much money, and now the treasury is only 20 million taels in total." ”

Zhu Jianji nodded, "Then twenty-three million?" ”

Chen Xun shook his head, "Eight hundred, it can't be more." ”

Zhu Jianji, "Two thousand? ”

Chen Xun: "One thousand, there are really no more." ”

Zhu Jianji, "The two universities of Beijing and Tsinghua under the Department of Education have installed thousands of Jinshi in the autumn of this year, and the school buildings and classrooms are seriously insufficient, and a large number of buildings need to be built, and in addition to Beijing and Tsinghua University, I also have to build a large number of new universities in Nanjing, and even under the Ministry of Political Envoys, so as to turn the palace examination in Autumn into the highest level of examinations that are carried out simultaneously throughout the country, so as to expand the number of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, which requires moneyIn addition, the construction of the Guanting Reservoir is also limited by various factors, and the progress has slowed down, and in order to ensure that the construction, especially the fields and official roads in the Hami and Hetao areas, requires a large amount of cement, and the cement base under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry must be expanded, and the tank project of the two major military research institutes is a gold-swallowing beast, so——"

smiled, "Chen Shangshu, you understand." ”

Chen Xun was speechless.

Not to mention, what Your Majesty said is the truth, he really couldn't find a reason to object, and sighed in his heart, "Your Majesty, our monarchs and ministers don't bargain like the vegetable market, the bottom line in the minister's heart is fifteen million taels, and if this amount is exceeded, you can only ask Your Majesty's internal transportation warehouse, or the emperor's private treasury to subsidize it." ”

The bottom line must be kept.

Chen Xun hurriedly threw it out, he was afraid that if he continued to bargain with His Majesty, he would not be able to kill fifteen million.

Zhu Jianji laughed so hard that his face was rotten.

What he wanted in his heart was actually 20 million taels, but he also knew that Chen Xun could not agree, after all, it was already winter, and after a period of time, when the national official examination was over, he would have to pay performance bonuses to all officials and officials in the country in accordance with the rules he had formulated.

That's a huge expense.

And it can't be saved.

Because if it is changed, the three words of Emperor Guang'an will be discredited in the hearts of local officials across the country.

Moreover, when all nations come to the court during the Spring Festival this year, there will be a huge amount of expenses.

After all, Da Ming also wants to save face.

Don't be too stingy with the foreign kings and envoys who come to congratulate them.

Therefore, Chen Xun proposed fifteen million taels, and Zhu Jianji could accept it, which was not less.

Said: "Since Chen Shangshu is so upright, how can I lose my demeanor, fifteen million taels is fifteen million taels, ugly words are in front, can't be delayed!" ”

Chen Xun led the order.

Zhu Jianji looked at everyone at this time, "You have also seen it, and you have heard it very clearly, it is only fifteen million taels, and to tell the truth, all of you, no matter who is the next step in your hands, fifteen million taels can't be beaten to the end, so this money can't all be given to one of your departments, you need to negotiate, rain and dew are even, and you can take a little money to get through the current difficulties." ”

Chen Xun suddenly coughed and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a sum of money, which can actually be used." ”

Zhu Jianji was overjoyed, "Where?" ”

Chen Xundao: "Occupy the city!" ”

He also said: "After the Guangxi Metropolitan Division conquered the city, the wealth of the Zhancheng royal family was confiscated, and after reporting to the Qianqing Palace, the emperor has issued an order, leaving part of the military expenses of the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, and the big head has asked the Guangxi Metropolitan Division to send people to transport it back to China, and now it is estimated that it has reached the border between Jiaozhi and Guangxi. ”

Can it not be poor?

After Zhu Qizhen said Shenghua Mansion and Hue Mansion, Zhancheng supported Zhu Qizhen with a large amount of grain and grass in order to use Zhu Qizhen as a barrier to prevent the southern invasion of Annam, and even sent troops as reinforcements.

Participating in the Four-Nation Alliance, Cham sent 100,000 people, which was another huge consumption.

After the Guangxi Metropolitan Division won the royal capital of Zhancheng, he could still loot tens of millions of taels, which was already the greatest wealth in the country of Zhancheng - the economy over there in Zhancheng would definitely be miserable next.

The gold and silver were all looted together by the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, and the Ming Dynasty came.

Therefore, it is necessary to implement the treasure money in Champa as soon as possible.

Otherwise, there will be a shortage of money!
