Back in the house, Xia Yuan sighed heartily, it was really eventful, and he might make some trouble this year.

When I entered the moon gate in the inner courtyard, a pretty figure greeted me, and it felt good to be able to see my daughter-in-law when I went home.

Xia Yuan suppressed the little sorrow in his heart for the country and the people, his face was full of smiles, and he opened his arms to her, "Come, kiss, hug, hold high"

Hearing this, Rao is already a relative and has done a lot of things, but considering that there are people around, Zhu Xiurong still blushed shyly, and lowered his head a little shyly.

When they entered the bedroom, they had no scruples, the two of them took off their shoes and went to the couch, Zhu Xiurong snuggled in her husband's arms like a kitten, stretched out her slender little hand, and stroked the faint stubble on his chin, which was very warm.

After snuggling like this for a while, she got up again, and the whole person lay on Xia Yuan's body, and then raised her face and called softly: "Husband."

"Huh?" Xia Yuan looked at her frugally.

"Husband, do you have something on your mind?"

"How do you tell?"

Xia Yuan was a little surprised, he was not very old, and he was stupid, but this intuition was quite accurate, which made her see it.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiurong bit his lip, his eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, and he leaned into his husband's ear and whispered words, his voice was small and shy.

Xia Yuan's expression froze for a moment, feeling that his glorious image had collapsed in the little daughter-in-law's heart, and tried to remedy:

"How can you think of your husband like that? Even if he pulls you into the bedroom as soon as he comes back, it's not for you to perform ventriloquism, the husband just wants to hold you like this, but he knows that you are shy, so he pulls you into the bedroom and hugs. ”

"Hmm"

Zhu Xiurong hummed softly, she listened to this seriously, and said softly: "I also want to be held by my husband." ”

After this page was revealed, Xia Yuan opened the topic again and said: "But the husband does have something on his mind, I went to the household department today to ask for a fortune, and I didn't want to come back." ”

"How much?"

"Twelve taels of silver, nine stones of rice."

"So much?"

“.”

Xia Yuan thought that this little thing would become a princess, and his vision would be high, and there were still mountains of gold and silver lying at home, so he shouldn't look down on this bit of silver, but he didn't expect it to be the same as before.

Delicate and cute, gentle and well-behaved, even if she becomes a rich Lori, she still knows how to save, and she is simply the most perfect wife candidate in the minds of all men.

Not to mention that she still has the halo of a royal princess on her head, such a wife can't be found with a lantern.

Xia Yuan pinched her nose a little dotingly, "Yes, my husband also thinks it's a lot." ”

Immediately, he added: "But it's not that you don't want to come back, but that in the end, the husband didn't want it." ”

"Why don't you want it, husband?"

"Now the treasury is empty, and the officials in the entire capital have not paid it for three months."

Xia Yuan gently stroked her long soft hair with his hand, half-closed his eyes and said softly: "If the husband wants to come back, something will happen later." ”

I took the dog prince to ask for it, how could I not come back with a mere dozen taels of silver? No matter how empty the treasury is, those household officials have to pay for it out of their own pockets.

But this is absolutely not wanted, this horse is a powder keg, you have to stay away, otherwise it is easy to be jumped.

"What's wrong?"

"Pulled out as a target."

“？”

"You don't understand, do you?" Xia Yuan smiled and tapped her little nose with his finger, "It's best if you don't understand, if you can understand the trick here, then the little camellia won't be cute." ”

Women are cute when they are stupid, but men can't be stupid, and when men are stupid, it's called retardation, and it's easy to live a short life.

For example, Zhu Houzhao is mentally retarded, he doesn't want these things, and this kid is still shouting why he doesn't want to, so this thing has a short life.

It's really worrying about this kid's future.

"Come, little camellia go up a little bit."

Xia Yuan moved his arms, hugged the girl lying on his body, and then kissed the soft little lip.

In the Qianqing Palace, the most important court meeting in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi was being held.

The three elders of the cabinet and the six Shangshu, all of them stood with bated breath in front of a long and wide red sandalwood case, and looked at the Hongzhi Emperor who was sitting on His Majesty.

The eunuchs who stood in the hall like sculptures added charcoal to the copper stoves in the hall again, and then closed the hollow copper covers, and then retreated through the small doors on both sides with very light steps, and closed the temple doors.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the various treasury expenditures in front of him, a thick stack, a string of numbers made him dazzled, dizzy, and finally he slowly spit out a cloud of turbid air from his mouth, and glanced at Xiao Jing next to him.

Xiao Jing quickly understood, hugged the thick stack of expense ledgers on the imperial case in his arms, stepped down from His Majesty Dan, and put it on the big red sandalwood case.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi's voice also sounded, "Zhuqing will report all the expenses of this year, the yamen of all ministries and all the provinces and prefectures, and don't talk about those small accounts, let's talk about the big accounts this year." ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept through the ranks of the court's important ministers, "Which ministry will speak first?" ”

Liu Jian looked at Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, "Ma Butang, the Ministry of War has always had the largest expense, so you can talk about it first." ”

"Medium."

Ma Wensheng responded, took out the book of the military department from the pile of account books, and bowed to the emperor of His Majesty, and then said in a rural voice,

"After the summer tax money was collected this year, the old minister asked His Majesty to allocate 5.5 million taels to pay the arrears of money to the border army on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty.

After consultation, 3.8 million yuan was allocated. After the collection of taxes and silver in the autumn, the old minister asked for the transfer of military salaries, and distributed the arrears of salaries to the guards and soldiers in the provinces and states, asking for 2.6 million taels, but the household department has been delaying.

The Hubu Shangshu Hanwen couldn't listen to it anymore, and stood up and said: "If it's not for my Hubu delay, I really don't have the money to give you Ma Butang." This year, there is a landslide, a flood, and there is a major drought in several northern provinces, and now that the snow has not fallen, and we are still waiting for the allocation of silver and grain for disaster relief, how to allocate money to you? ”

Ma Wensheng glanced at him, ignored it, and continued to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, it is now the end of the year, and there are still more than 20 days before the New Year, and the soldiers are waiting for the New Year. ”

“.”

Zhu Youzhu was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Then let's dial some first, and stabilize the soldiers first, two million and six thousand taels is too much, how about giving one million taels?" ”

"Your Majesty, a million is too much for the treasury to come up with."

Ma Wensheng turned his head and said, "Why can't you take it out?" Now there must be four million taels of silver in the treasury. ”

"I gave you a million, and what will I do with the remaining three million? Don't the rest of the ministries need silver? ”

As he spoke, Han Wen looked at the rest of the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't you need silver for the yamen you are waiting for?" ”

"It's needed."

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, after the collapse of Puzhou, the transportation of the surrounding provinces has been seriously damaged, and the ship has not been able to sail so far. The Ministry of Household has allocated 800,000 wages, which are now exhausted. The minister asked His Majesty to allocate one million taels for the survey and repair of the transportation in various places. ”

Han Wen's face has turned red, at the end of the year, this one wants silver for the New Year, that one wants silver for the New Year, and so much, doesn't Lao Tzu need to celebrate the New Year!
