"Chen Huangbo see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live..."

"Huang Aiqing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Huang Bo got up, Guo Tianyi said unhappily, "Didn't Aiqing also come to cry to me?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Bo said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty Shengming, because Your Majesty has transformed a large area of farmland, reclaimed wasteland, and the development of the Yunchuan Dao area, this year's tax revenue has risen significantly compared to before, reaching 200 million yuan..."

This news really made Guo Tianyi extremely satisfied.

You must know that on the eve of Guo Tianyi's accession to the throne, Dafeng's annual income was tens of millions of dollars.

The annual income of the state treasury has increased several times compared to before.

This is an inevitable situation of vigorous development.

There is also a part of the benefits of doing business along the Silk Road to the south.

"200 million is not enough?" Guo Tianyi frowned and said, "In recent years, I haven't spent all the money from the treasury, and I have spent a lot of money in my inner house, so why can't I make ends meet?" ”

"Your Majesty, you don't know that oil and salt are expensive..."Huang Bo said bitterly, "The minister has sorted out the big accounts here, Your Majesty, you have seen it..."

"Bring it in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Guo Tianyi took the accounts in Huang Bo's hand, and after browsing them slightly, he couldn't help but gasp in his heart.

The large-scale development of Yunchuan Road alone has cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Moreover, the great development is not over yet.

Bridges, roads, and houses need to be built here, and local finances simply cannot withstand it.

It's all about central funding?

Huang Xin, who is in charge of the development of Yunchuan Road, has kept the budget to a minimum.

And that's still without corruption.

If there is corruption, I am afraid that it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

The mountain roads in the Yunchuan Road area are rugged, and the construction of water conservancy roads and bridges is a major project.

And those immigrants, up to millions, all have to eat.

The other side.

Guo Tianyi built a dam, and there were many rivers in Dafeng.

In order to develop agriculture, water conservancy was built and water conservancy networks were renovated.

And the cost of the governor's house is not a small amount.

Next, there is the army's expenses and expenses ....

In this way, at the current rate of spending, it will have to reach one billion dollars in order to operate normally.

And that's not even counting the case of a protracted war.

Vigorously developing domestic affairs requires a large economic foundation to support it.

Without money, who wants to do things among the workers below?

In the event of a protracted war, the finances will be in a state of emergency.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."Huang Bo frowned, "According to the statistics of the ministers, the grain flowing into Guanzhong this year has been greatly reduced, and the public grain in various places has decreased, especially in Hedong Province, the grain is fifty percent less than in previous years, and there are also Hebei Province and Henan Province have decreased..."

"What?"

"Fifty percent?"

"I ordered people to transform farmland, reclaim wasteland, and transform water conservancy, but there is still less food?"

Guo Tianyi's pupils shrank, and he asked sharply.

He knew that this was not Huang Bo's problem, but a problem below.

Hedong, Henan, and Hebei are all grain-rich areas.

Are there even fewer major grain-producing areas than in previous years?

So what do your own hundreds of thousands of troops eat?

A country's grain reserves are the lifeblood of a country, and if this continues, there will be a big crisis.

In case of a famine next year, the imperial treasury has no surplus grain, and the people can't eat enough, can they not rise up without revealing the rod?

I thought it was a simple financial crisis.

But I don't want to, there is also a food crisis.

"Your Majesty, the minister also sensed that things were not so simple." Huang Bo knelt down and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly." ”

Huang Bo is upright, and he can achieve the position of the head of the household, not only the first emperor can be trusted, but even Guo Tianyi can be trusted.

His son Huang Weiyin is still working as a compiler in the Hanling Academy, and his ability will definitely be above Huang Bo in the future.

These are all their own ministers, and they will never be able to say anything.

"Someone, Xuan Caixuan."

"No!"

After a while, Cai Xuan hurriedly came to the imperial study.

Entering the imperial study, Cai Xuan sensed that the atmosphere was wrong.

First of all, Lu Gaofeng and Huang Bo, one of them is in charge of His Majesty's inner government, and the other is in charge of the treasury.

It's all here, there must be something wrong.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven had a calm face, and the invisible dragon power made people dare not look directly, and Cai Xuan was even more sure of the thoughts in his heart.

"Minister Cai Xuan see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live..."

"Cai Xuan, immediately send Jinyi Wei to thoroughly investigate Hedong Dao, Henan Dao, Hebei Dao and other places."

"Not only must we thoroughly investigate why the public food here has decreased, but also thoroughly investigate the Jinyi Guards here."

"Got it?"

"No!" Cai Xuan hurriedly responded, "The minister will do it now." ”

Are the Jinyi guards in Hedong Province and other places all eating?

Or are they all bought?

It's not once or twice that there are internal problems in Jinyiwei.

Guo Tianyi decided to rectify the internal laws and regulations of Jinyiwei.

Otherwise, Dabong is likely to repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty.

Jinyiwei's current system is indeed full of problems.

In the past, Guo Tianyi thought too simply.

It's just because Jinyiwei has a lot of absorption at the beginning of its development, and the cultural level is not high, and there are people with previous convictions.

These people are destined to have bad thinking.

And it's easy to go wrong.

As soon as the emperor gave an order, the Jinyi guards in the capital set off overnight and went to various places.

A few days later.

It has been ascertained.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, Tang Bo, a giant businessman in Hedong Province, cooperated with the governor of Hedong Province, and from last year to this year, Tang Bo has encroached on tens of thousands of acres of land in various names, and he has acted extremely obscurely, and these lands are in the names of his family members..."

"According to the minister's rough estimate, the value of Tang Bo and the governor of Hedong Province is as high as 200 million..."

Cai Xuan said that, he didn't say anything more, and waited for Guo Tianyi's instructions.

It's just that Guo Tianyi didn't say a word, and his face was gloomy to the extreme.

Guo Tianyi said loudly, "Cai Xuan, are you guilty?" ”

Hearing this, Cai Xuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister deserves death, because the minister was not strict in discipline and did not discover the problem of the local Jinyi guard in time..."

Cai Xuan felt bitter in his heart.

In this era, information is underdeveloped, and the emperor is far away.

Out of Shuntianfu, the intelligence of many places in Guanzhong could not reach the capital in the first time.

Not to mention the place outside the gate.

"I know it's not all your fault." Guo Tianyi said majestically, "Cao Dechun, Prime Minister Xuan, Taiwei, and the members of various ministries entered the palace to discuss matters. ”

Today's suppression of Cai Xuan is also to give Cai Xuan a wake-up call.

Jin Yiwei is a close minister of the emperor, which is good.

But herein lies the problem.

The leaders of the brocade guards everywhere, once they are in the same league with profiteers and corrupt officials, they will completely become deaf and blind.

If this continues, the huge state apparatus will inevitably decay.

As long as there is any possibility that can breed corruption, Guo Tianyi must resolutely resist it.

At this moment, Guo Tianyi understood why he had persisted in the anti-corruption struggle from ancient times to the present.

Just because corruption is a cancer that destroys a country.

A thousand miles of embankment was destroyed in an anthill.

Without anti-corruption, it is absolutely impossible.
