If you don't become a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. The Qing Dynasty was indeed a vast country with vast resources and a large population. The national treasury revenue of tens of millions taels a year is considered a huge sum of money for any country. But as many come in, many leave as well. After all the calculations, the whole Qiwang Tower was filled with sighs and sighs.
Now even the most violent Qingliu Hanlins have much less firepower. Although most of them are nerds from different economies. But no matter what, I have been in court for so many years. He is more or less knowledgeable than those Tai students. War is no joke, it requires money and food.
Cixi saw that the atmosphere was a bit cold. His eyes immediately stood up, "I don't care what method you use. Anyway, the emperor cannot make any mistakes. This is the only seedling with the most pure bloodline in the Qing Dynasty...a seedling in a thousand hectares. The late emperor was only such a child."
"Haha. There is trouble in the south. You are willing to spend money shouting and killing. You are also willing to spend money during the Gansu-Shaanxi rebellion and the Agube rebellion in Xinjiang. What Zuo Zongtang took away was a military expenditure of 10 million taels. Now His Majesty has It’s dangerous. But the court can’t even dig out a piece of silver dregs.”
Cixi is really a bit broken. She knew that she was getting further and further away from the center of power. Whether the Qing Dynasty was good or bad had nothing to do with her. The only hope now is his son.
in her calculations. Just wait until your son takes charge. When the time comes, he still has to get closer to his mother-in-law. After all, it crawled out of your own intestines. Sooner or later, Ci'an will launch a power center. She was kind enough to wait.
so. She knew there was no money in the treasury. The Ministry of War also has no new troops on hand. But she didn't care. It can give Ci'an some relief. This is the happiest thing for her.
The people present listened to Cixi's sarcasm. Everyone looked embarrassed. Especially Ci'an was very disappointed with this sister. I really regretted indulging her in the past. Now I am so ignorant of the general situation.
But they are the masters of suffering after all. His sons were assassinated. The mood is understandable. So no one refuted her.
Ci Xi is typically a bit crazy today. When she saw Prime Minister Fu Qinghou who had not said a word since the memory. An unknown fire sprang up in my heart.
She cursed inwardly. This pair of dog men and women were doing their dirty work openly and covertly on Jingshan Mountain. It's impossible to pretend that everyone is blind. You established a special zone before Fuqing. The telegraph line was so lively as it jumped up and down. Why is it completely dead now?
You want to bow your head and pretend to be a grandchild. no way. The Aijia will never let you go.
Cixi looked at Master Qing's burly figure. Then he looked at his masculine and strong face. He swallowed dry saliva involuntarily.
damn it. This Ci'an is really promiscuous. Hooked up with such a good man. Look at Yi's limp appearance again. Nothing is as good as Fu Qing's body. What an exciting night.
Cixi thought about the men who were close to her. Only Ronglu's appearance can be compared with Fu Qing. But Ronglu, that good-for-nothing, actually had a bad idea in the year of Xinyou. Then he was demoted to Xi'an and became a general. If this were still in Sijiu City. It can somewhat satisfy the hunger and thirst in the Queen Mother's heart.
Not going well. Trouble is everywhere. There is an evil fire in my heart attacking everywhere. Cixi decided that she could not let her enemies be happy if she was not happy.
"Speak. Why are you mute... Haha. Fu Qing, Third Master Qing, what are you thinking about? You didn't say a word in this meeting today."
Fu Qing heard this strange voice. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I can't tolerate the word "you". Please don't offend me... I didn't say a word. It's just because the errand does not involve the Ministry of War. So I don't dare to speak nonsense..."
"Don't dare to lie. You dare not lie. The Ministry of War's errands are none of your business. But you have taken care of a lot of the Ministry of Household's errands... You can spend six million taels to repair Beihai and Jingshan. Come out with the money. Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, you can pretend to be dumb here."
The roaring Cixi frightened Fu Qing and turned pale. "Slave...slave...how dare you get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Finance? The slave is just a matchmaker. Let Lotte Matheson accept part of the debt of the Ministry of Finance. That's all."
"Okay. You, Mr. Qing, are very capable. You can pay off the debt of six million taels as soon as you say... Mr. Lin. Tell me how much IOU debt you still owe from the Ministry of Revenue."
Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance looked at each other subconsciously. I thought I was really sleepy and came to the pillow. This was what they were discussing in the pine forest just now. What they had in mind was Lotte Yangxing.
Follow Lin Shangshu's method. Since Lotte Matheson can accept the debt of 6 million. And it’s not strenuous. Why don't you give them more national debt? Anyway, Rakuten and banks have ways to sell them.
But they also know it. I want to get money from merchants, especially from the Ryukyu feudal kingdom. This reputation is really not good. Besides, Xiao Letian also has a bad temper. If they really fall out, the imperial army will really not be able to defeat them.
So Yi and Lao Lin thought for a long time with frowns and couldn't think of a good way to squeeze Fu Qing. But I never expected that Cixi would make the first move today. This is so timely.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother. The debt problem of the Ministry of Revenue has begun to rise since the Daoguang period. Especially after the war with the British in Daoguang's 20th year, the national treasury deficit has become more and more serious. But at that time, it could still be more or less maintained..."
"But since Changmao wreaked havoc on half of the country in the south, our Qing Dynasty's money bag has been completely drained. Every year, the household deficit is more than three to four million taels. The money and food deported to the capital from the provinces is less than half of previous years..."
"That's enough. You keep nagging on and on. I'm just going to ask you how many white strips you have..." Ci Xi was so angry that she almost broke off her fingernails.
"Thirty million... Report back to the Queen Mother. The amount of tax money and food owed by the Ministry of Revenue over the years is a huge amount of thirty million taels."
With a bang, the entire Qiwang Tower exploded. No one expected that the hole in the household would be so big. In fact, they didn't know that Shangshu Hube actually played a word game. He calculated the loophole based on the tax levels before the Taiping Rebellion. For more than ten years, the national treasury has received more than 30 million taels less than before the war. This does not include external reparations.
But the account cannot be calculated this way. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the south established its capital in Jinling. Several provinces have become enemy countries. So how could the taxes from the 'enemy country' in those years be added to the holes of the Household Department of the Great Qing Dynasty?
Falling into Hubu Lao Lin gave the court room for bargaining. According to his calculations, as long as the Qing Dynasty has an extra 10 million taels of rich money, it can be used for turnover. All financial difficulties are solved.
Note: Headache, headache. It’s the 17th this month. However, the number of subscriptions to the main site is less than one-third of last month. Xin Jing really doesn’t know what to do. Don’t ask for subscription growth, but don’t drop it either. There have been two updates for several days this month. It's obviously much updated. Why are there fewer people subscribing?
Are you really trying to force your mind to stop writing? Who can’t afford a dime a day subscription? They all went to watch pirated copies. In the end, no one was left with the original version. Isn't this just forcing Xinjing to stop reading this book?
Friends who watch pirated copies should think carefully. If the original version is no longer updated, where can you go to check out the pirated version? Looking back, I didn’t just curse and figure out the plot by myself.
Everyone calls Shu Huang Shu Huang. But who caused this book shortage?
