From small individuals to large countries, they all need money, and nothing can be done without money.

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth hooked, revealing a wicked smile, and the six bosses saw this posture, and their hearts rose.

The current emperor's ability to spend money, they couldn't be clearer, he is a master who can't save money, and he can't let him Huo Huo anymore.

Hatsuharaji, the head of the household, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, the mountain. East, River. In the south, several places in the two provinces suffered from drought, and for the sake of the people, the minister implored the emperor to set aside a part of the money and grain to deal with the possible famine. ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment and asked, "How much does it take?" ”

"At least two million taels." Xia Yuanji knew that he had money, so he deliberately asked for more.

"Yes." Zhu Di nodded and agreed, deducting two million taels, which would not affect his overall situation much.

Moreover, these things brought back by the Three Treasures still need to be operated and digested by the household department.

The rest of the bigwigs saw this and followed closely.

The official department was still righteous, got up and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, in the past year, the Ming officials' salaries have been half rice, half money, or even too much rice...... Struggling to get by. ”

He is telling the truth, the opinions of officials everywhere are very large, the treasury was tight before, he couldn't help it, and now that he has money, he naturally doesn't want to be under pressure anymore.

The officials didn't dare to scold the emperor, but secretly scolded him for being a minister, and Jian Yi said stubbornly, "I also hope that the emperor will restore the old system and distribute the money in kind." ”

In fact, during the Hongwu Dynasty, some of the treasure money was issued, but the proportion was not large, and the purchasing power of the treasure money was strong at that time, and the officials were not affected at all, but with Zhu Di's super treasure money, the officials couldn't stand it.

Zhu Di's face was hot, and he glared at Jian Yi hatefully, "How much does it take." ”

"Two and a half million taels."

Why don't you go and grab ...... Zhu Di's face darkened, and he resisted the urge to slap the table, "Tell me, why did you use so much?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Great Ming Dynasty, the military, the officials, and the officials...... There are nearly 40,000 people in total, and after the change of in-kind distribution, the monthly salary will need to be paid in an additional cost of nearly 200,000 taels. ”

Afraid that the emperor would not believe it, Jian Yi gave an example, "The monthly salary of the seven-grade official is seven stones, and now it is sixty percent of the banknote and four percent of the rice.

Now the treasure banknotes and silver are not equal, four stone rice only needs two taels of silver, the more you go up, the more you reissue, of course, the lower the reissue, the less, plus a lot of princes...... That's the number. ”

This is not counting the vassal kings of various places, of course, these royal clansmen don't do anything, and Jian Yi doesn't want to count them.

Zhu Di's face was gloomy, but he couldn't attack.

He understands that his series of policies have seriously infringed on the interests of most officials, and if he has the money, he will even become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

At that time, it will not only be civilian officials who will be offended, but even military generals.

Zhu Di sighed, "Even if you need 200,000 taels more a month, why do you need 2.5 million?" ”

Jian Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet, and now although it has been reformed and innovated, it is not immediate, and it will take at least a year, or even longer, to recover." ”

Looking at the expectant eyes of the officials, Zhu Di nodded with an ugly face: "Yes." ”

At this time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu got up and said: "Your Majesty, although the flood in western Zhejiang has been treated, there are still hidden dangers, and now that the flood season is coming, the old river embankment is in danger, and it can only be barely supported. ”

"How much does it cost?" Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing that the emperor's face was full of displeasure, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu did not dare to ask for a sky-high price, and considered: "The treasury is not rich, just build two fortresses temporarily, and one and a half million taels will be done." ”

In this era, infrastructure construction is the most money-burning, and he really doesn't want much.

But Zhu Di is still sad, in just a moment, he went to six million, can he not feel distressed?

He's going to do something, but he hasn't done it yet.

But if the river embankment is not repaired, causing a large flood in western Zhejiang, the loss will be more than that, "yes." ”

"The emperor is wise!" The Ministry of Industry is still happy.

"Your Majesty!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu got up and arched his hand: "The minister also hopes to ......"

"I'll talk about it when I'm ready." Zhu Di's tone was cold, and he couldn't afford to play anymore.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was in his heart, and said: "The emperor is Mingjian, now the four seas are coming to the court, in order to reflect the ...... of my heavenly dynasty."

"Speak human words!"

"The minister implores the emperor to repair the banquet division, the host and guest division, the ceremonial division, and the fine catering division...... By the way, there is also the Guozijian, which also needs to be repaired. ”

As soon as the Ministry of Industry Shangshu saw that he had come to life, he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Li Qing saw that these people were asking for money one by one, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the embassy that receives the envoys does not need to be vigorously built, even if it is to be built, it should be built in the new capital." ”

"Well, Li Aiqing has a point." Zhu Di finally heard a confidant word, his face softened slightly, and he glanced at the book of the Ministry of Rites, "Just repair the main and guest divisions and the national eunuchs." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu nodded helplessly, secretly regretting that he was late, "Your Majesty, these need ......"

"Don't talk, I'll tell you a number." Zhu Di stretched out three fingers, "Three thousand taels." ”

Ministry of Rites: "......"

Everyone is in the millions, but there are no tens of thousands in my place, isn't this bullying...... The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was so aggrieved that he couldn't do it, "Your Majesty, three thousand taels...... What can you do?

It's not enough to repair a temple! ”

"Then I'll give you a little more." Zhu Di stretched out a finger, "Ten thousand taels." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"Sit down!"

“…… Obey the order. ”

Li Qing saw that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department also wanted to wade into troubled waters, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!" ”

"What? Do you want money too? Zhu Di's eyes breathed fire.

"It's not." Li Qing reminded, "Although the harvest this time is quite rich, the previous rarities are now not so rare, that is to say, these overseas treasures may not be as much as the money earned last time, except for the six million taels, it is estimated that there is not much left;

Then count the weaving bureau and the porcelain kiln...... The expenses are estimated to be sufficient, and it is not appropriate to spend any more. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face became even more ugly, and he broke the jar and said: "Flowers, all the flowers, don't leave a single child!" ”

Don't suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness!

This is the situation now, when there is no money, Zhu Di can't do what he wants to do, and now that he has money, he still can't do what he wants to do, isn't the money for nothing?

Zhu Di is so angry!

"Smack——! The chopsticks slapped on the table, and he got up with a cold face, "The prince is presiding over the banquet, and I am full." ”

He is full of anger, not to mention increasing efforts to build the capital, and even the money to build a treasure ship is gone, can he not be angry.

After that, Zhu Di ignored the ministers, and took his daughter-in-law and walked back.

The ministers got up to send them off, and the six bigwigs were in a worried mood.

Shangshu's face was the most ugly, and he said in his heart: I haven't mentioned the appropriation yet, don't go, Your Majesty!

But the emperor obviously couldn't afford to play, he didn't dare to touch his head, he could only consider himself unlucky.

……

Xiao Fat waited for his father to leave Fengtian Temple Square, raised his hand to pick up the lid of Wang Ba, and ate the skirt: "Eat, eat, eat and drink well, eat and drink well......!" ”

Then the ministers sat down and ate and drank.

Sanbao whispered: "Your Highness, the emperor ...... him"

"It's fine." The little chubby hand raised the wine glass, "Sanbao, you have relieved the finances of the Ming Dynasty this time, I will toast you." ”

"Don't dare, Sanbao Jing Prince."

Sanbao drank the wine in the cup and poured another glass, "Respect Yongqinghou." ”

Li Qing smiled and raised his glass and drank with him.

With the departure of the emperor and queen, the ministers felt less restrained and gradually let go.

The military generals draw fists, the civil officials chant poems, and the atmosphere is warm.

Should I say it or not, the scholars are profligate, and the generals are not a child at all.

What, moving, painful, painful...... It's blood-pumping.

Unlike military generals, they can only talk about the day*.

In this era, romance is an elegant thing, not that it can't be put on the table.

Li Qing listened to it quite interestingly.

~

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Qing suggested: "Prince, think of a way, it's better to save some money and hand it over to the emperor;

If he doesn't get happy, you can't be happy, and no one wants to be happy. ”

Chubby nodded with a wry smile: "I'll do the math when I go back and squeeze out some money for him." ”

Li Qing sighed: "This big mess needs your mediation, it's really difficult for you." ”

"Hey~ I'm used to it." Xiaopang didn't care, "My father can agree to approve so much money, I am a lot easier, and it is not difficult to squeeze out some money." ”

Saying that, he continued to eat and drink, and greeted: "You're welcome, eat and eat ......"
