Volume 1 Chapter 623 Datong Town Mutiny
"He made it clear that he harmed the public with his own interests, if you are still worried, when will the thieves in the south be eliminated?"
Before Xu He entered the door, he heard Xie Kun excitedly ask his uncle.
He stood at the door and didn't enter the door first.
At this time, Xu Song sighed and said: "What Shoufu said is right, in the beginning of spring, the captives are the most rampant, and the border army of Datong has not received a salary for two years. If there is no more pay, and there will be a disturbance on the nine sides, how will the country be captured? ”
Xie Kun sneered and said, "Who is Chao Ling, the chief soldier of Datong, Xu Ge doesn't know, right?" At this time, he just pinched our key point, knowing that we were going to use silver to go south to suppress the thieves! ”
"It's not a day or two that the Datong soldiers are short of silver, why did you just ask for 800,000 taels of Huguang military expenses when you just put it in the book, and Datong Town mutinied here?"
"Ziyu, you can't say that, the south wants money to suppress thieves, and the north also needs money to fight the thieves, the country is not only the south, can the north let the situation develop and ignore it?" Although Xie Kun's tone had been bad, Xu Song still persuaded him bitterly.
Xu He understood the general situation, so he stepped into the hall.
"Uncle, uncle!"
As soon as Xu He walked in, the two consciously stopped arguing, but Xie Kun's face was still indignant, and Xu Song's face was not good-looking, it seemed that he was also a little annoyed after persuading him for so long.
Xu He said curiously: "Uncle Shi, why did Qin Yan suddenly target us?" ”
"It's not for you ......"
"Ziyu!" Xu Song suddenly reminded Xie Kun in a loud voice.
His voice wasn't actually loud, but it was an octave higher than when he usually spoke quietly.
But the majesty of the cabinet ministers in his tone made Xie Kun unconsciously silent.
"Uncle?" Xu He turned his head to look at Xu Song.
Xu Song knew that he couldn't hide it, so he smiled bitterly and said: "On the day of the yellow list, Qin Yan came to the house with someone to marry his granddaughter to you, but I politely refused!" ”
Xu He frowned when he heard this: "Just because of this? ”
"What? Do you think this matter is too small? Xie Kun glared at Xu He, "It's not that you don't know about the Qin family's impeachment by Yanguan a while ago, right?" ”
Xu He nodded and said in surprise: "It's okay for them to be impeached by the officials, what does it matter if I marry his daughter or not?" ”
Xu Song and Xie Kun glanced at him and sighed in their hearts: "I'm afraid this kid doesn't know how heavy he is in the hearts of those who have a heart." ”
Starting from the matter of the tea and the salt, the Gangyun Law, the Cao Yun Thing, the Disaster Relief Thing, the Wakou Thing, and ...... one by one, you kid handled it properly, and you think it's very ordinary, very ordinary.
But in the eyes of others, it's different.
Especially, now that you kid is the sixth song and the champion, the future future is definitely limitless.
The Qin family can marry their daughter to you, which is to bind your continuous upward path for the next few decades.
This road was broken, and the future of the Qin family was once again in uncertainty.
Do you guess that the Qin family will turn against the Xu family?
Especially Xu Song, who broke this matter!
Can Qin Yan not hate him?
Datong Town does not make trouble, and there are other towns on the nine sides; There is no trouble on the nine sides and the Tusi in the southwest, in short, even if Qin Yan is not a saint now, he is still in the position of the first assistant after all.
As long as he is in one day, it will make Xu Song uncomfortable.
Xu He didn't care about the marriage.
To put it bluntly, in this era, he can't be the master of this matter in general.
Otherwise, he would have lived a small life with Sister Gu without shame and without shame, and he would have waited until today?
However, there is really nothing wrong with the uncle.
The Qin family is really dreaming, and wants to marry the Xu family, not to mention whether the emperor agrees or not, even if the emperor agrees, Wu Xingbang will make trouble.
Besides, what is the benefit of the Xu family tying up the boat of your Qin family?
There is no benefit, and it makes a fuss.
It's right to refuse, it's just that how to deal with this now.
Datong's military salary must be paid, which is originally owed by the state to the soldiers on the frontier.
I can't say that you have another purpose, so I won't send this money.
But the war in Huguang could not be delayed.
It is a pity not to take advantage of the file of exterminating the thieves in Hefei and go south to exterminate the bandits in Changsha.
Money, this thing is a good thing.
Xu He finally realized the difficulty of doing things.
"Uncle, how much silver is left in the household?" Xu He asked.
Xu Song sighed and said, "There are only more than 1.4 million taels." ”
"What?" Xu He was taken aback.
In the huge Great Wei Dynasty, there were only more than 1.4 million taels of silver in the household?
This may sound like a lot of money, but in fact, the country is so big, and there are places where money is used everywhere.
Money is needed to fight wars, and money is needed for people's livelihood.
Moreover, many places are bottomless and filled.
For example, the Yellow River, which has been flooding all these years.
As soon as this thing reaches the high water period, as long as the embankment bursts, it will erode for thousands of miles.
Next, it costs money to repair the river embankment, disaster relief, and post-disaster recovery, which is the river defense, 1.4 million taels? Another 1.4 million taels may not be enough.
Besides, it's still a war.
It's a bottomless pit to fight.
Thinking of this, Xie Kun had already calculated the account for him.
"Sheng Butang rewarded meritorious soldiers for the Battle of Hefei, and handed over the fold a few days ago, saying that it would cost 400,000 taels!"
"The Southwest Tusi pays tribute during the New Year, and it is customary to reward it back after the beginning of spring, which is converted into 380,000 taels!"
"Repair Liaoyang City outside the mouth in preparation for the Mongolian detour to attack the capital of Liaodong, 500,000 taels!"
……
After all calculations, the imperial court did nothing just in the beginning of spring, and 1.4 million taels was not only not enough, but there was also a gap of 700,000.
Xu He originally wanted to help come up with some ideas and make some ways to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but when he heard such a big deficit, he suddenly felt powerless.
Being an official is not an essay, and when composing, he wrote "There is a Way to Make Money".
But as soon as he came into contact with the practice, he also became numb in his claws.
You say open source, far water can't quench your thirst.
You talk about throttling, all aspects are constraints.
To be honest, don't say he's from time travel, even if it's an alien, there's no way to do it.
Unless, the authority is single-minded and the Lord trusts, otherwise, it is useless for anyone to come.
"I can only cut out a part of the part that rewarded the vassal king and send it to Huguang!" Xu Song finally made up his mind at this time.
"Vassal King!"
Hearing these two words, Xu He and Xie Kun objected.
"Uncle, if you move the vassal king's money, these people will make trouble, even if the emperor has to consider the face of the clan!"
"I object, this kind of thing shouldn't be compromised with Qin Yan, it's a big deal to go to the court in front of the emperor!"
Xu Song smiled slightly: "Who said that you want us to come forward to mention this?" ”
"This?" Xie Kun froze in place.
Xu He saw Xu Songshen's mysterious smile, and suddenly realized: "First spread the news that Qin Yan sent the money to the nine sides, and then let out the wind, saying that Lord Shoufu decided to take out a part of the sect's New Year's gift money and send it to the nine sides to solve the urgent need!" ”
Hearing this, Xie Kun suddenly realized: "In this way, the vassal king will have trouble with Qin Yan." At that time, Qin Yan will naturally have a lawsuit with the vassal kings. Let's finally come forward and talk about this matter in front of the emperor, as long as it is reasonable and well-founded, Qin Yan is naturally not easy to put his beak in a hurry! ”
"That's the only way to do it!"
