A small butterfly flapped its wings gently, and there was a situation that Wang Siqi was most unwilling to encounter, that is, with his own appearance, he began to change the original history.

Zhu Di made several expeditions to the north.

This time it didn't match Wang Siqi's memory, Zhu Gaochi still sighed on the side and continued: "It is said that there are tens of millions of taels, but they are all moons in the lake... It's useless to see it and touch it, in the end, it's not like you have to get the money out of the household, where is the silver now! ”

Wang Siqi asked with some curiosity: "The household department has a lot of silver in a year, is it really so nervous?" ”

"It's useless to hide it from you, many ministers in the DPRK and China have the same heart as Spiegel."

"The household department has no money."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi and Wang Siqi calculated in detail the income and expenses of the Ming Household Department, to put it bluntly, it is the most appropriate to describe it in one sentence: "Earn less, spend more!" ”。

And the money handed over to the household department in various places is not all white money.

Silk cloth, silk, grain, all kinds of different things filled the treasury of the household, but these things were dumbfounded when they really asked the court to take out the silver... In the end, I still had to think of a way to lift the treasure banknote from the treasure banknote and hastily opened a branch with the treasure banknote.

But whoever understands it.

Treasure money is not something that can be used casually, not to mention that Wang Siqi has already explained the pros and cons of treasure money in front of Zhu Di, and the use of treasure money at will has only brought the Ming Dynasty a continuous reduction in the status of the people, after all, the depreciation brought by the indiscriminate issuance of treasure money.

In essence, the court is taking money out of the pockets of the people.

Just send it, regardless of the treasure money that it receives, it is not suitable for a banknote printing financial institution with the core of the Ming Dynasty, of course, this is also related to its complete obedience to the court and the emperor in the matter of printing treasure money.

Zhu Di knows it very well.

Only then did he send the treasure money lifting division to Wang Siqi.

"On weekdays, it is good to give the ministers and officials a fortune, and use silk cloth, grain, and treasure money mixed together to send them out, and you can also save a sum of silver by folding the color.."

As soon as he heard this, Wang Siqi's brows instantly furrowed. The "folded color" that made many Ming officials almost poor in the legend of selling pants was Zhu Gaochi's operation in this hand...

...

"I said. Don't look at me like that! There is no way in this palace, if you have money in your hand, who can not know how to spend it? If there is silver, the prison country is the prison country, and if there is no silver, then the palace is here to offend people and be angry at both ends! Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Siqi's unkind gaze, and could only say faintly.

The imperial court went on a northern expedition, and silver was needed everywhere.

The household department can't take it out.. Zhu Di asked him, the prince of the prison country, to find a way, but even if the entire prince's mansion was demolished and all sold, it would not be enough to make up a fraction of the military expenditure.

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold.

Everyone knows that the Northern Expedition costs money.

Everyone knows that they want to ask him, the prince of the prison country, for money, after all, the household department is still in the hands of Zhu Gaochi in the end, which means that he is in charge of Daming's money bag...

But Zhu Gaochi is not just a money bag, but an empty rag pocket.

The bag with no money, even if it depicts the dragon and the phoenix, there is no difference between it and the burlap bag for vegetables on the roadside, Zhu Gaochi casually took the teapot that Wu De prepared for Wang Siqi just now.

Take the cup and pour it for yourself.

There was no prince at all, and he took a sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "The cost of the Northern Expedition can be said to be an astronomical amount, and I don't dare to calculate how much silver it will cost now... But I had already scared me enough to make a rough estimate. ”

Wang Siqi also has a little guess.

Then he said, "How much does it cost?" ”

"It's hard to say.. If you don't say anything, it's two or three million taels. ”

Zhu Di went north several times, this controversy in history is actually not small, the most important thing is around the gains and losses, again and again the northern expedition to Mobei in the desert and the Mongols you chase me, you come and go again and again, but the more you fight, the more you lose.

The silver is spent, and the Mongols are living well...

There are many thieves in all parts of Mobei Mongolia!

How long were the Han Chinese able to exist in that desert-like place? Sooner or later, there will be a time when the class teacher will return to the court, since this is the case, people have no idea of fighting the Ming army head-on.

Besides, who wants to fight even if they know they can't fight?

Therefore, the Mongols have been constantly avoiding the edge of the Ming Dynasty.

At this point, everyone knows what the Mongols are planning behind their backs.

But did anyone say it?

Yes.

The Ming Dynasty's officials are not afraid of death.

But does it work?

Useless.

Zhu Di didn't care at all, the day when the Northern Expedition to Mongolia from the beginning of Hongwu to the current Yongle seemed to never stop, he gave the court a big slave to do the capital, but it was like a chicken rib.

Wang Siqi knew that not long after Zhu Di's death.

Nuer Gandusi followed and lost it... It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't afford it.

"How much is missing?"

Hearing Wang Siqi ask, Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly grabbed Wang Siqi's arm and said with a little excitement: "I know!" I knew it.. It's still a lot worse now, but your treasure source bureau is making money every day, and it must not be a difficult thing for you! ”

Get! Wang Siqi knew with his ass that the abacus of the prince in front of him had hit him on the head.

What does it mean to find yourself something?

It's clearly something to do with the money in your pocket.

Wang Siqi said angrily: "Say a specific number, we have to find another way... It's almost useless to just say it, and I can't turn it into silver..."

"May. Is there still a million 800,000 taels left? ”

"What?"

said that it was a fee of two or three million taels, but Wang Siqi knew that it was only because Zhu Di took more than 100,000 troops to Mobei to "travel to the north" to be able to spend so much silver, but the days of waiting were less, and the number of people recruited was smaller.

I won't spend so much money.

In addition, with Zhu Gaochi, the prince of the prison country, making careful calculations behind his back, presumably the final expenditure will not exceed two million taels of silver, and this is also consistent with history.

... Wang Siqi, who gritted his teeth in his heart, looked at Zhu Gaochi with expectation in his eyes, and couldn't wait to get him out.

What about when reimbursed?

He is not the finance of his old Zhu family!

"Okay! If the imperial court wants to march north, the imperial court will be able to afford half of the silver in its pocket. It's still a matter of fighting, but I think there's something going on."

"What's the solution?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes were bright, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Let your father, take half of the people there..."

"What's that? Will this work? ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

"No.."

"And what do you say?"

"Then you can't do it if you don't have money!"
