Chapter Forty-Eight: That's the Feeling
Inside a side hall of the Royal Palace.
Several eunuchs are desperately counting this year's internal income and expenditure.
If it is modern, it will be solved in minutes.
In ancient times, it was a huge project.
Emperor Jing Qi Mao had already sent people to urge him several times.
These eunuchs only felt that they had lost two hands, and they were busy and sweaty.
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Emperor Jing Qi Mao, as usual, reviewed the chapters.
And the historian was somehow not around.
Maybe it's because the historian wasn't around.
Today, it is often clear that Qi Mao is a little absent-minded, as if he is sleepwalking.
It was at this time.
A eunuch outside the Heart Cultivation Hall stood outside the door with a hunched body, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
Qi Mao's body was excited, his eyes lit up and he said, "Come in, come in and talk." ”
The little eunuch walked in cautiously.
Qi Mao split his head and covered his face and asked the little eunuch, "Have you calculated it?" ”
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and stumbled and said, "Count...... It's calculated, but it's not exhaustive. ”
"How much!"
The little eunuch hurriedly took out a book from his sleeve, then looked down at the book and said, "This year's income ...... the internal funds."
"It's not this ......" Qi Mao said hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, how much is the surplus." ”
The little eunuch looked through it quickly, and finally said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a surplus of thirty-seven thousand three hundred and seventeen taels of silver." ”
When Qi Mao heard this, he immediately frowned, and sat down on the dragon chair with some weakness.
The benefits of the internal treasury are huge, but the expenses are also staggering.
Qi Mao originally thought that after this year's open source and throttling, the surplus of internal funds would be at least 100,000 taels, but who knows......
There was a surplus of less than 40,000 taels of silver.
"Only to save so much money?" Qi Mao sighed and said a little decadently.
The little eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.
Chang You leaned over beside him and said softly: "Your Majesty, the world is not peaceful at the moment, and it is fortunate that there is a surplus in the internal treasury." ”
Qi Mao glanced at Chang You, and said angrily: "I have a surplus of less than 40,000 taels a year, but some people have a surplus of several times or even dozens of times that of me, what do you Wu Desi eat?" ”
I often don't dare to be silent anymore.
Qi Mao drooped his head, and Jin Ge's words sounded in his ears again.
Your Majesty is indeed short of silver, but Your Majesty's courtiers are not short of silver!
That's when it happened.
Another eunuch came in a hurry, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Jin Ge, enter the palace to see you. ”
"He's finally here?" When Qi Mao heard the word Jin Ge, his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but say.
Seeing Emperor Jing Qi Mao react like this, he probably understood something in his heart.
A trace of gloom flashed over the old face, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Jin Ge bowed his body and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then bowed: "The grass people have seen Your Majesty. ”
Qi Mao saw that Jin Ge had an indescribable sense of cordiality in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" Throne! ”
The little eunuch hurriedly brought a chair for Jin Ge.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jin Ge didn't sit on the chair, looked at Qi Mao with an expectant face, and bowed down.
"Your Majesty, the grass people lost the money to you in the last bet, and the grass people brought all of it today."
Qi Mao looked at Jin Ge in amazement.
Jin Ge winked at him.
Qi Mao reacted, pulled his throat and said, "Really? Where is it? Take me to see it. ”
The people on the side often saw the two eyebrows and eyebrows, and they were even more annoyed in their hearts, and they couldn't control it for a while, and they actually coughed.
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! ”
Qi Mao glared at Chang You unhappily.
Chang Youyou covered his mouth and nose in a hurry, not daring to make any more sound.
The usual changes, Jin Ge saw it in his eyes, pretended to be nothing, and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the silver is outside the palace, and the grass people have been handed over to the guards, as long as Your Majesty summons, they can move the silver in."
Qi Mao stood up abruptly and said, "Quick! Bring in the money! ”
Qi Mao felt that he was a little out of shape, so he sat down again, looked at Jin Ge with affection, picked up the tea cup on the imperial case, and took a sip.
The eunuch hurriedly ran out of the Heart Cultivation Hall to report.
Seeing Qi Mao looking at him with such eyes, Jin Ge half-sat on the chair and twisted his body a little unnaturally.
After a while, the guards came in panting with the boxes.
Qi Mao's eyes lit up.
That wasn't the end of it, the guards put down the box, quickly stepped back again, and returned with the box......
This was repeated repeatedly, and in an instant, the entire Heart Cultivation Hall was occupied by chests full of silver.
Jin Ge stood up and opened a few boxes, the white swaying silver, stabbing the eyes of the people present were a little unable to open.
Qi Mao looked at the thousand or so boxes of silver in front of him, and he was a little incredulous.
I'm afraid that this silver is more than 300,000 taels!
Qi Mao stood up with support, his legs struggling to move.
At last he walked to a box, took out a piece of silver, weighed it, and opened his mouth to bite it, regardless of the image.
Suddenly there were two tooth marks on the silver, and there were no traces of lead in them.
It's true!
This silver is real!
Qi Mao was dumbfounded.
I often look at these silvers, and my eyes are a little straight.
The eunuchs' eyes were even greener, and their bodies kept shaking......
The reason why Jin Ge exchanged the silver ticket for silver is because of this feeling of visual impact.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, these are the 480,000 taels of silver that the grass people lost to you in a bet. ”
"Four hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver?"
Jin Ge Zhengse said: "Yes, it's 480,000 taels of silver." ”
"That's not right!"
Qi Mao opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you say 300,000 taels at that time? ”
"Three days ago, it was indeed 300,000 taels, but after three days, it rose again 180,000 taels!" Jin Ge Dao.
Qi Mao was a little dizzy when he heard Jin Ge's words, and he was a little intoxicated, and nodded.
"I see! So...... I had no choice but to ...... Forehead ......"
"Ahem! I reluctantly accepted it! ”
"Jin Ge, I don't like to be so public."
Jin Ge hurriedly said: "The grass people know that they are wrong, it won't be like this next time!" ”
The more Qi Mao looked at Jin Ge, the more he liked it, and said to Chang You on the side: "Chang Yes, I look at it...... Jin Ge is going to catch up with you. ”
Often: "......"
Chang You calmed down, tiptoed forward, and said to Jin Ge with a smile: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible!" ”
Jin Ge bowed to Qi Mao and said, "Your Majesty, if there is no help from the Chief Administrator, it will be difficult for these silver grass people to get their hands on it?" ”
"Really?" Qi Mao turned his head to look at Chang You and asked.
There are often times when you don't know how to answer.
Jin Ge nodded firmly and said, "Yes! ”
When Qi Mao heard this, he immediately smiled, and then looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Haha......"
Finally, Qi Mao stopped laughing and said to Chang You and the eunuchs: "You guys retreat first, I have important matters to discuss with Jin Ge." ”
After kneeling down with those eunuchs, Chang You withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Chang You glanced at Jin Ge meaningfully before going out.
Jin Ge smiled harmlessly at Chang Youze......
