Chapter Eighty-Four: The Treasury Is Empty?

Before long, two men walked in carrying a large box.

Xia Liufeng waved his subordinates away, and when Lai Yongqing thoughtfully waved the housekeeper and the others away, he opened the lid of the box.

Lai Yongqing raised his eyes and found that there was a miniature palace made of all kinds of precious crystals, jade, etc., and he couldn't help but shake his wrist and almost shook off the tea bowl.

"Xia Langzhong, what are you?"

"Lai Shilang, this hall is called Yuyuan, which is the work of Master Liu a hundred years ago. This thing is not only beautiful and atmospheric, but also has the effect of gathering vitality, worth tens of thousands of gold! ”

Xia Liufeng first introduced the value of the palace meaningfully, and then his expression was solemn and he lowered his voice.

"Today, Xia gave it to Lai Shilang, just asking Lai Shilang to say good things for his father in front of His Majesty. After all, my father had objected to His Majesty......"

Lai Yongqing was shocked at first, his eyes showed a fiery color, and then he had a chill in his back.

Such a heavy gift, even if it is given to the two prime ministers, it is extremely rich, why do you want to give him a small waiter?

Moreover, let him go and say good things to His Majesty for King De, doesn't this make him run to die?

Do you really think he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has?

Could it be that this guy and King De want to kill him?

As soon as he thought of this, Lai Yongqing was alarmed, and anger also appeared in his heart, but his face was still obsessed and fiery.

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem, this thing, it's on me!"

"However, how much of a role it can play, Lai can't guarantee it......"

The corners of Xia Liufeng's mouth hooked slightly, and he nodded again and again with a smile.

"That is, as long as Lai Shilang is willing to help, it is enough."

After the two chatted for a long time, Xia Liufeng said goodbye and left.

……

Imperial Palace, Bohol Hall.

Liu Linku, the head of the household, sat in the outer hall, watching the palace maid fill the fifth cup of tea, and sighed in his heart.

He had been waiting here for more than an hour, but His Majesty had been delayed, which made him very bored.

He knew what that majesty was doing now, how ridiculous it was to prostitute himself during the day!

Now, it is rumored everywhere that His Majesty will take the eldest sister-in-law, that is, the former crown princess, for his own imprisonment, and forcibly accept the concubines of the former emperor, and he is obsessed with government affairs, singing day and night, like a faint monarch.

Originally, he didn't believe it, but today's situation made him have to believe it.

Xinjun is like this, what is the road ahead in Great Xia!

Liu Lin was depressed, but he was helpless.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a chamberlain finally came out of the inner sanctum.

"Liu Shangshu, Your Majesty called you."

Liu Lin perked up, calmed down, tidied up his clothes, and then followed the chamberlain into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty."

Looking at Xia Ao, who was sitting upright, Liu Lin was a little suspicious in his heart.

Because Xia Ao in front of him was full of red light and his eyes were blazing, he didn't look like he had just walked out of the pile of women.

"What is Liu Aiqing's important thing to bow to me?"

Xia Ao glanced at Liu Lin and asked lightly.

After he ascended the throne, he had changed the court meeting to once every five days, and the usual affairs were handed over to the two prime ministers, and the imperial secretary would review and file them.

Only major events will be presented to him, and he will make the final decision.

Liu Lin bypassed the two prime ministers and came directly to him, which also made him a little curious.

"Your Majesty, the treasury... It's almost empty......"

Liu Lin grimaced and gritted his teeth.

"Huh?"

Xia Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Liu Lin expressionlessly.

"As far as I know, there were three million taels of gold in the treasury, and the value of the stock of yuan stones was also about two million taels of gold."

"In addition, there are the properties of those rebellious ministers who were confiscated before, and the property that has been charged into the treasury is about 30 million taels of gold, which is worth the tax income of my Great Xia for a year."

"With such a huge amount of wealth, you told me that the treasury is going to be empty?"

Liu Lin smiled bitterly and sighed: "Your Majesty, the original minister also thought that there would be no problem, especially after such a huge amount of input. ”

"But, Your Majesty, you don't know, after the two prime ministers came to power, they proposed an incomparably huge reform measure."

"Let's not talk about the small ones, but I'll give you a few examples of huge projects."

"First, the gallop is all over the corners, and the cars connect the cities. According to this plan, the trail was divided into five levels, and not only the original trail was to be greatly widened, but also to be paved to all villages and towns. ”

"In addition, it is necessary to vigorously develop the car industry, and the initial goal is to use a large flying car to connect the imperial capital and the capital of all parties, and open up a fixed flight route and frequency."

"This project is extremely huge, and the first phase of the project alone will cost tens of millions of taels of gold!"

"Second, reorganize the Casting Division and the Dakuandan Pharmaceutical Division. Lao Chen didn't even know the specific plan of this project, but he needed to invest eight million taels of gold! And the two prime ministers also passed! ”

"In addition, there are also sorting out the water conservancy system, increasing the granary, reforming the academy and martial arts academy system, compensating the wounded and wounded, replenishing the armor, increasing the reserve of strategic materials, and so on."

"If it really goes according to plan, we need to invest a full 50 million taels of gold right now!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Lin was even more sad.

"Your Majesty, there are only about 35 million taels of gold in the treasury now, which cannot be supported or taken out at all, and it is necessary to set aside at least three million taels of gold as a reserve in case of great changes."

"Therefore, Lao Chen suggested that His Majesty should bring back the most massive projects, let them reduce the scale, or cancel the ...... directly."

Xia Ao frowned, his fingers tapped lightly on the table and did not speak.

Li Si and Gao Xi were obviously eyeing their own inner treasury, and they never mentioned that the treasury was about to run short, but forced Liu Lin to come, obviously afraid of being reprimanded.

The value of the wealth in the inner treasury is about 8 million taels of gold, and the family background of the prime minister, the prince, the three princes and other powerful people has been confiscated, and more than 30% of them have been included in the inner treasury.

Therefore, there is now about 23 million taels of wealth in the inner treasury.

As the master of Great Xia, although he likes to enjoy, he knows the truth that only the stronger Great Xia, the more he can enjoy.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to refuse such a large-scale reform of the foundations of a strong country.

After more than ten breaths of silence, Xia Ao finally spoke.

"Now that I know about this, I'll allocate it as planned."

Liu Lin was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this ......"

Xia Ao waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't worry about money, in order to enhance my comprehensive heritage in all aspects of Great Xia, I will also support the sale of the treasures in the palace." ”

"In this way, within five days, I will replenish the treasury with wealth worth twenty million taels of gold."

Liu Lin was stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes and feeling a little confused.

Where did Your Majesty get such a huge amount of wealth? In the inner library, there are so many?

Sell the treasures of the palace?

This majesty is really incomprehensible, is he a faint monarch or a holy lord?
