Kyoto.

Liufu.

"This time, the amount of tax and silver in the autumn harvest is 220,000 taels, and a newly established Dongchang has won 30 million taels, and the Ministry of Rites has also won 50 million taels."

Liu Yanming sat on the Taishi's chair and said with a solemn expression.

After a slight pause, he continued to speak: "After the matter of changing rice to mulberry and Dawei treasure banknotes, we can say that we have suffered heavy losses. If we can recover the losses in this regard, it will be of great benefit to our development. ”

In the study, they are all the core personnel of the Liu Party faction.

Every official represents a group of nobles.

Therefore, there is nothing hypocritical in Liu Yanming's words, and the meaning is straightforward and clear.

The people present, listening to Liu Yanming's words, did not feel anything wrong.

My heart is very moving.

It's a full 220,000 taels of silver, and it's false to say that you don't want to be impressed.

Tobe Shangshu was the first to speak.

"This time, my household department has been rewarded by His Majesty, and it is not suitable to be the first to speak, so someone needs to take the lead and set an example in this matter."

Three parties in the court, six departments.

The faction of the Liu Party occupies the household department, the official department, and the military department.

The Yang Party faction occupied the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry.

The Li Party's faction occupied the Ministry of Rites.

And the Ministry of Rites can be said to be the first to go out.

As the words of the Tobe Shangshu fell, everyone also focused their eyes on the military department.

The Ministry of Officials is among the six departments, although the number of departments is large.

But funding is the smallest department.

Compared with the three departments of the Liu Party, the most suitable appearance at this time is naturally the military department.

The military department is also the department that spends the most on taxes and silver among the six departments of the court.

The 12 battalions of the Great Wei, in previous years, can be said to occupy half of the annual tax silver.

This year's autumn harvest will be 220,000 taels of silver.

If in proportion, it is half.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes are more urgent.

"In the past few years, the Ministry of War's application for a change of clothes was rejected by His Majesty."

The military department Shangshu opened his mouth and briefly explained the current situation.

Then he paused and continued: "At present, our 12th battalion of the Great Wei Dynasty is facing the problem of changing equipment and equipment, the serious battalion has not changed its outfit for nearly ten years, and the best battalion, that is, the battalions in the frontier, the earliest redress was four years ago. ”

"The annual dialing is only to maintain the normal operation of the battalions, and most of them have entered the border battalions."

"Now that the autumn tax is abundant, the budget will be made according to the regular establishment, and the overall outfit of the first battalion is expected to be more than 30,000,000 taels, and the 12th battalion is expected to be more than 40,000 taels.

The military department Shangshu slowly narrated.

After a slight pause, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued: "It's just that it is not easy to get His Majesty to change the clothes of the Twelve Battalions at one time. ”

After speaking, the teacup was put down, and the military department Shangshu stopped talking, looking like an old god was there.

It seems that everything in front of him has nothing to do with him.

"That's true."

"Your Majesty will never agree."

"It's a little bit tricky."

"With such a large amount of expenditure, there are too many places to do in the middle. It would be a pity if it couldn't be approved. ”

"Yes! Tents, forage, weapons, all kinds of equipment, armor, well, this includes almost everything. ”

"What a pity!"

“……”

Everyone heard that it was a pity and sighed.

Everyone present understood why.

This is also the reason why the old god of the military department is here and indifferent to himself.

The entire 12th battalion changed its clothes?

Something simply impossible.

Of the twelve battalions, His Majesty has only one battalion.

Changed the entire twelfth battalion, what are you kidding?

Is it a fool to be Your Majesty?

"We can't change it all, then we have to change it half, this time, we have lost too much, we must have an explanation from those behind us, otherwise, our right to speak in the court in the future will be ......"

Liu Yanming, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, spoke.

This time, his way of looking at the problem is simple.

It is to stand in the position of Liu Dang and look at it.

The court must be made to spend money.

If you don't spend money, how can the powerful family behind you make money?

How to make up for the mouths of those greedy guys behind you?

How do you keep them supporting?

The number one party in the court is not something that can be achieved by a large number of people.

It's about looking at the influence behind it.

For example, a single sentence can determine the rise and fall of an official's career.

That's what influence is.

On the contrary, corruption is the lowest means.

Only those officials who have no influence will do such low-level things.

Seek business for the powerful family behind it, and then collect dividends, just the right income, the silver can be spent clearly, how good.

"Understood, Old Liu, I'll do my best."

"Yes, everyone's losses this time are really serious, and only by changing clothes can we recover the losses."

"When I get back, I will contact my colleagues, and when the time comes, I will find good reasons and excuses, and try to get His Majesty to agree."

“……”

The crowd chimed in.

And the military department Shangshu also spoke up at this time.

"Understood, Elder Liu, I'll go and write a recital when I turn around, and I'll start playing Your Majesty first at the next court meeting."

"Good!"

“……”

Next, the officials discussed something unimportant.

Small talk for a while.

The meeting was concluded.

……

With this autumn harvest a huge amount of tax silver.

The entire Great Wei was moved by the wind, and Kyoto was in a torrent.

The powerful people of various families have mobilized their own relationships and forces, and began to plan how to bite on a piece of meat.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the 220,000 taels of silver that had entered the treasury.

It's not just the Willow Party.

The same is true for the Yang Party and the Li Party.

Contains but does not include the six parts of the court.

It can be said that all the ministries of the court are holding emergency meetings, thinking of reasons for His Majesty to allocate money.

The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Crime, are all the same.

Even some lesser-known feudal lords came to Kyoto in advance on the grounds of congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday.

At this moment, the whole of Kyoto is bustling with activity.

Powerful people from all walks of life.

Merchant of the World Chamber of Commerce.

The princes of various feudal domains.

The six major ministers of the court.

In addition, the imperial examination is imminent, and some famous students have also entered Beijing in advance, and the Great Wei Kyoto is very lively at this moment.

……

In the harem of the royal palace.

Xu Shouyun ended the day's cultivation.

He has firmly stepped into the realm of condensation.

The Confucianism and Taoism faction is peaceful and stable.

And martial arts cultivation, with the acquisition of the innate body, is faintly about to step into the sixth realm, the stage of the true qi realm.

can step into the realm of true qi, and it can be said that he is a first-class master in martial arts.

Open your eyes.

Xu Shouyun's eyes flashed with a trace of exquisite light.

Take a deep breath.

The white gas is like a long dragon, and it will not dissipate for a long time.

"It's been more than a month, and according to the original regulations, it's time to go shopping outside the palace, I don't know if there is any new news from the Great Chu State."
