"It is the old rule of the imperial court that the state treasury allocates a portion every year for disaster relief needs, and people in various places can work for relief to solve the difficulties of surviving in the cold winter."
In the Lanzheng Hall, Cifu Gu Yuncheng said unhurriedly: "During the late emperor's time, there were few worries about droughts, floods, snowstorms, and floods, so there was a lot of money saved for disaster relief. At this time, disasters were reported everywhere, and it would not be better if the Ministry of Household Affairs would use the seal It would be better to set it aside and relieve the immediate south."
Hearing this, the Minister of Hubu looked at Jing He in embarrassment: "When the late emperor was here, because of the policy of swallowing up the Qi, for decades, all the money he had allocated came out of this place. There is a heavy snowfall everywhere, so what can Hubu do? We have a lot of silver, but if we want to support the various places in Dachu, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."
Emperor Jinghe listened to people coming and going around the money, feeling a headache and feeling guilty.
The national treasury is supported by maritime trade, so there will be no embarrassment. However, there are many places where he uses silver. He only said that the defense of Ajong and Nurhan was piled up with silver.
There are also small neighboring countries that come to Dachu every year for pilgrimage. Although it is clear that their purpose of coming to Dachu is to ask for money, in order to appease these small countries and prevent Ajong and Nuerhan from taking advantage of the opportunity, the time between coming and going , and how much silver is it.
Since he came to the throne, floods, droughts, heavy rains and snowstorms have increased in various places. In order to protect the people, he not only reduced taxes, but also purchased food crops at high prices from abroad at a discount of silver to relieve the victims.
Therefore, An Suiyun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, is in a real dilemma. He cannot use all the money from the treasury. Otherwise, how will Da Chu's social studies be maintained in the coming year? How to maintain official schools in various places? How will the imperial officials' money to support their integrity be distributed, and how will the various construction projects planned by him be implemented?
But if there is no money, how can we survive the snowstorms in various places?
The more Emperor Jinghe thought about it, the more he got a headache.
"I think that the subsidies given by the imperial court to various places in each season are only a lot more. How come there are no deposits in various places? Instead, they break up with the imperial court time and time again." An Suiyun did not agree to use the deposits used for other matters.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he has to face colleagues asking for money every time he goes to court. However, everyone has their own reasons for allocating funds. No matter how generous the national treasury is, it cannot afford such expenses. Therefore, he has already experienced Have a heart of stone.
It is okay to allocate money, but it must be purposeful. In other words, it is impossible to cover all aspects.
"Things have priorities. Allocating money for food distribution is an urgent matter today. Compared with disaster relief, the rest are nothing but trivial matters." Third Assistant Cen Minzhou said, "Just treat it as a loan from various places, and we will ask them to return it when things get better."
"Mr. Cen Ge said it lightly. It can be seen that various places have always borrowed money without repaying it. Since the late emperor, there has been little care. If it is still the same now, is it possible that His Majesty can still care about it?" An Suiyun waved his hand and shook it nervously. He shook his head and said, "If the situation gets better and money is used everywhere, can the lower officials conjure it up out of thin air? The rest may be trivial, but if A Rong and Nu'er rarely go to war, who will guarantee the military supplies and food?"
An Suiyun, the financial manager of a country, could only be cold-blooded at times.
"Why don't your Majesty temporarily lend the money to the public, and wait for the repayment from various places, and then return it to Your Majesty?" Youdu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate suddenly looked at Emperor Jinghe. This newly appointed official has an upright nature and is known as "two Known as "Leng Yushi", Emperor Jinghe promoted him to be the Yushi of Youdu. He showed that he was good at employing people and dared to employ them. He was a wise king who knew people and made good use of them. Who would have thought that before the results he showed came out, this idiot would use him as a target.
"If it weren't for the lack of internal funds, why would I bother everyone?" Emperor Jinghe coughed twice and spread his hands.
"The internal funds are not enough?" Everyone was surprised.
Although the emperor's internal funds are beyond the reach of foreign ministers, everyone can count them!
Just look at the prosperity of maritime trade and the fullness of the national treasury, and you will know that internal funds are indispensable.
The emperor is obviously not a lavish, extravagant, arrogant and foolish king, so how come the internal funds are not enough? !
Emperor Jinghe made his courtiers blush a little.
"I, I have slightly changed the design of the imperial mausoleum." Emperor Jinghe, who was hesitantly explaining to his ministers, was also very depressed. He did not live an arrogant and extravagant life. The money he had in his pocket was not only used for the princes and princesses to build their mansions, but also for the clan. The royal family subsidies, as well as the rewards given to his own courtiers, are all paid by him himself.
But despite this, he could still save a lot of money, so he was interested in building an additional mausoleum.
If he had known this, he would definitely have kept the money.
"Since there is no money left in the national treasury and internal funds, why not let local government agencies borrow from the squires!" Cifu Gu Yuncheng didn't want to see the emperor in trouble. He had higher ambitions!
Sure enough, when Emperor Jinghe saw that he had rescued him, he became even more kind to him.
…
"So, here in Kyoto, we have to find a way for Shuntian Prefecture to raise money for disaster relief?!" Sheng Yuan heard her elder brother complaining and couldn't help but sympathized with him for a few breaths, "Then you have enough money."
Kyoto is no better than outside. Most of the people who can borrow money are the powerful and royal relatives, but how can their money be so easy to borrow? !
She just pities her brother, it seems he is tempted again!
