Chapter 247: Faux pas

"Captain Qin, what are you laughing at?"

Facing Qin Yu's laughter, Zhao Kuo's eyes narrowed, feeling that Qin Yu's smile was revealed to what he had just said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general laughed because His Highness's conclusion is too pedantic!"

Zhao Kuo's face changed slightly, but he asked patiently, "How to say?" ”

"Your Highness, the last general doesn't think there's anything wrong with His Highness saying the final amount, but why does His Highness want to take out so much silver in one go?"

"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved! If even the most basic food and grass cannot be guaranteed, who can do anything? Zhao Kuo was a little displeased, that is, Qin Yu had not been in contact with the affairs of the imperial court management, otherwise with Qin Yu's kind of inquiry, he would definitely not get any good words!

Qin Yu saw that Zhao Kuo had been insisting, and the smile in his heart grew even stronger.

"Your Highness is right, it is indeed a matter of ensuring grain and grass, but according to what the last general has seen, it is not necessary to have all the grain and grass in place at the beginning, right?"

"If you don't have everything in place, how can you act? If people know that there is a shortage of food and grass, and put them in the army, there will definitely be a mutiny! Zhao Kuo said with reason, and at the same time shook his head slightly.

Zhao Kuo's attitude was so resolute, Qin Yu knew that Zhao Kuo couldn't understand what he said, and he could only sigh in his heart that there was still a big gap between the thinking of the ancients and his!

"Your Highness, the last general will say it directly! Let the imperial court take out more than two million taels of silver at one time, although the imperial court can take it, but it can't take it because of various circumstances, right? ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, indicating that this was the case.

"Then I will want to know, if the court is asked to take out 500,000 taels of silver in half a month, can the court take it out?"

Zhao Kuo thought about it for a while, then nodded: "If this is this amount, the imperial treasury will naturally be able to take it out." ”

Without waiting for Qin Yu to speak, Zhao Kuo continued: "Even if you take out 500,000 taels of silver, facing the victims of Henan Mansion and a mansion, it is only a drop in the bucket!" Doesn't solve anything at all! ”

"Your Highness, this is a bad word!"

Qin Yu's negation made Zhao Kuo's eyes stare at Qin Yu, and he wanted to hear what Qin Yu had to say.

"500,000 taels of silver, according to His Royal Highness, can follow the strategy proposed by the last general, so that the victims of Henan Mansion can live for half a month, isn't that so?"

Zhao Kuo nodded, but he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

"Since the victims of the disaster in Henan Province can work for half a month, why not let them do things and support themselves? The silver in the treasury is spent, but the imperial court is still operating, and the silver in the state capitals is also replenished to the treasury, even if it can't collect 500,000 taels of silver in half a month, it may not be much worse, both are rotating, the imperial treasury has time buffer, the victims have work to do, have silver to earn, and can support themselves and their families, why can't this be done? ”

"But..."Zhao Kuo felt that what Qin Yu said was right, but he felt that something was wrong.

Qin Yu interrupted Zhao Kuo's doubts with a smile and said, "Your Highness, let's settle the account in the simplest way, and it will be clear!" The imperial court can come up with 500,000 taels of silver, which is the bottom line of the treasury that will not be shaken! Suppose you have 1,500,000 taels of silver in the treasury, but you need to reserve 1,000,000 taels of silver in case you need them. Then let's take out 500,000 taels of silver from the treasury, it won't have any impact on the treasury, right? ”

Zhao Kuo nodded seriously.

"Since it doesn't affect it, let's move on! 500,000 taels of silver can ensure that the victims of Henan Mansion can work for half a month, which is not wrong, right? ”

Zhao Kuo continued to nod.

"In half a month, the state capitals can also pay taxes and silver to the imperial court, right? Even if it is not paid once every half month, in this situation, the imperial court can also order it to be handed over, right? Let's not count, in half a month, the tax and silver that can be paid by the state governments around the country can be 300,000, right? ”

"300,000 tax silver into the treasury, the treasury reserves will be 1.3 million, then let the treasury come up with 500,000 taels of silver, even if the treasury is empty of 200,000 taels, for the imperial court, it is not a big change, right?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head, 200,000 taels of silver, looking a bit big, but when it fell to the entire Houqin, it was not too difficult to fill this hole.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks there is no problem in this matter, then we can calculate it! On the premise of ensuring the stability of the national treasury, the imperial court took out one million taels of silver to help the victims for a month, in fact, the only thing that really has problems is the 200,000 taels of silver! ”

"According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's estimate, what the last general said will take at least two months, and the last general will extend the period of one month to it, counting it as three months! Under the condition of ensuring the stability of the treasury, the hole that really needs to be plugged is only one million taels of silver! ”

"The silver is really spent, but the hole is less than half of the more than two million taels of silver envisioned by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the time for the victims to work and make money is one month longer! Why can't this be done? ”

Zhao Kuo's mind was a little messy now, and the things Qin Yu told him completely broke the situation he knew before.

"Of course! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has concerns, the last general thinks that it is still feasible! That is to deduct some of the wages of those who work in the disaster to ensure their food supply! ”

"Now to be able to let them live with dignity and give them a little money, it is a great gift for them! Under such conditions, anyone will rush to do it, and the most important thing now is labor! ”

"If you calculate it this way, you can save some money!"

Zhao Kuo gasped, he really couldn't reunite Qin Yu with Qin Yu who said that day, 'The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light'.

Obviously, all his strategies are to speak for the victims, but here he has become like that kind of cool official, regardless of the lives of the victims!

"Captain Qin, why did you say such cruel words? It is not easy for the victims of the disaster, how can their wages be deducted? ”

Qin Yu felt a little funny, how could this come out of the mouth of a prince?

Isn't it a bit too womanly?

"Your Highness, you must first ensure that those victims survive, and then you can consider how they are living! If you want them to live and live well, then the court will have to give them enough money and food! The court can't give enough money and food, do you still think they will live well? ”

Qin Yu's words fell on Zhao Kuo's ears, and they were deafening!

"Lone understands Captain Qin's hard work! I have to digest what Captain Qin said! ”

Qin Yu didn't think that Zhao Kuo could immediately understand what the concept of installment payment was, he had said everything he should have said, whether these words could be listened to by Zhao Kuo, or whether the imperial court could adopt them, it was not something he could control!

Xu is what Qin Yu said, it was too advanced, Zhao Kuo was thinking about it all his heart, and he didn't say a few more words to Qin Yu, so he left in a hurry with someone a little rude.

Zhao Kuo had just left, and Qin Yu was also going back to sleep, but the old lady walked briskly with Shangguan Wan's support, wearing a lady's suit, followed by Qin Hu and Qin Hu.

"Yu'er, where's the prince?"

Seeing that Qin Yu was the only one in the main hall, the old lady hurriedly asked.

"Gone."

"Why don't you keep the prince a little more? Isn't it too rude that the old body and the others didn't meet the prince? The old lady complained a little.

When the prince came to the Qin Mansion, no one in the Qin Mansion went to greet him, which was rude, and now he didn't even see the face of the prince, which was even more rude!

If this kind of thing is spread out, the Qin family will be poked in the back! will think that the Qin family doesn't understand the slightest etiquette from top to bottom!

"Grandma, don't worry about it! Wait! Maybe in some time, there will be another reward in the family! The prince is there, and his grandson has already taken care of him! ”

"What nonsense! That's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! We are courtiers, and we must be respected! Next time, don't be so open-mouthed! The old lady slapped Qin Yu lightly, without force, with a smile on his face.

Obviously, he said to Qin Yu, waiting to accept the reward, he was quite happy!

Qin Hu's face was not very good-looking when she heard what Qin Yu said, although she didn't know whether Qin Yu was talking or something was true, but there was one thing that couldn't be changed!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really coming to the Qin family for the sake of Qin Yu!

Such a fortunate thing, not many people in the entire Lin'an City can have this honor!

Looking at his son again, the nameless fire in Qin Hu's heart couldn't help but rise a little more!

Why can't you fight for some gas?

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhao Xuan woke up to the gloom, took a nap at noon, and woke up a lot more energetic.

"Holy Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting outside the palace, will His Royal Highness the Prince be invited to see him later?" When Wei Zhong brought his clothes and waited for Zhao Xuanchao to change his clothes, he asked in a low voice.

"Prince? How long have you been waiting? ”

"Half an hour! The slave maid asked the prince, and the prince said that the matter was not big, so he did not want to disturb the rest of the saint. ”

"Let him come in directly!" Wei Zhong's answer made Zhao Xuanchao directly instruct, if it wasn't really something, the prince wouldn't need to wait outside like this.

"Prince, what's the matter?" Zhao Xuanchao asked while dressing under Wei Zhong's service.

Although Zhao Xuanchao is the Son of Heaven and needs to pay attention to appearance, Zhao Kuo is not an outsider, and there is no need to deliberately avoid it.

"Father, the sons and daughters have obtained from Qin Yu a specific method on how to implement his policy, which is quite feasible! Rong Erchen is clear! ”

Zhao Xuanchao grinned, he didn't expect that kid Qin Yu was really eloquent!

Regardless of whether the method is feasible or not, the mere act of making the prince wait outside the palace is already eye-catching.

"Humph!" Zhao Xuanchao snorted coldly, and he shouldn't say anything at all.

Zhao Kuo didn't know why, and when he looked up, he happened to meet Zhao Xuanchao's eyes with disdain, and Zhao Kuo subconsciously lowered his head.

"As a prince, how can you let others be swayed! Even if it is Qin Yu's words, you need to act lightly as a prince! Today is one thing, but like this, if he rules the world one day, won't he have six gods and no masters, and he will be at a loss? ”

Zhao Xuanchao's beating came as soon as he said it, but Zhao Kuo could only admit his mistake and said: "Erchen knows his mistake!" ”

"Say it!"

Zhao Kuo sorted out his emotions, tried his best to throw away the emotions and thoughts he originally wanted to replace, and only objectively told the truth.

Zhao Xuanchao couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows when he heard what Zhao Kuo said, his understanding was much deeper than Zhao Kuo's, and he was even sure that what Qin Yu said was a move that could change the entire imperial court's use of money and food!

"Pass the left and right phases, the household department is still the book, the household is the servant, and the household department is sentenced to enter the palace to meet you!"
