"presumptuous!"
"These old dogs are so brave. They dare to play such a trick with me. Do they think my knife is not sharp, or do they think I don't dare to kill anymore?" Li Yi was furious in the imperial study room of the palace and threw the room into the house. The furnishings were smashed cleanly.
The maids and eunuchs at the door were so frightened that they were trembling, fearing that they would be burned.
Sun Tingzong and Xu Hou walked to the door. Xu Hou only glanced at it and immediately stepped back, "Sir, forget it. His Majesty is angry. Let's stay away for now, right?"
"Nonsense, as ministers, how can we stand idly by while His Majesty is in trouble?"
Sun Tingzong glanced at Xu Hou and was very dissatisfied with his slippery tongue. Of course he also knew that he had great talents, but this guy was too naughty. Before planning things, he first planned people.
He grabbed his belt and dragged him into the imperial study, "Your Majesty, Sun Tingzong, pays homage to your Majesty."
"My...my minister Xu Hou pays homage to your majesty."
Li Yi didn't even raise his head and said perfunctorily: "Get up."
"My dear friends, what's the matter?"
The two looked at each other, and Sun Tingzong spoke first, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is here to relieve your Majesty's worries."
"Oh?" Li Yi slowly raised his head, with a cold gaze from his slightly opened cold eyes, "Xu Aiqing, do you have something to say?"
Li Yi attaches great importance to Xu Hou. Although this old boy has always been ineffective in his work, he is a great talent and a candidate who can replace Sun Tingzong.
Seeing that he could not escape, Xu Hou said: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter is ultimately because there is no one to replace the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, the position is vacant, and the officials at all levels of the Ministry of Revenue are acting as collaborators and have no fear..."
"Tell me the root cause!" Li Yi said angrily.
Xu Hou smiled awkwardly, "It's still a matter of money. We don't have any money, and the only bit of tax money is in the hands of the people in the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"Will someone embezzle my money?" Li Yi said with cold eyes and gritted teeth.
Xu Hou shook his head, "Your Majesty, it is natural that there is corruption, but it is difficult to find out the clues in the accounts, not to mention that it is not easy for your majesty to defeat Zhu Chongyuan and King Xiaoliang with just that little tax."
"As for the establishment of the Huwei Army and the disaster relief in Sanqin, I'm afraid the Ministry of Hunan is also powerless."
Li Yi stared, curled his lips, suppressed his anger, and talked a lot of nonsense, but none of it was useful. He wanted to see what the hell this little naughty guy was going to do?
"As far as I know, the annual tax from the Ministry of Household Affairs only covers the four districts of the capital. Your Majesty has repeatedly lowered the tax. How much tax can be collected from this small area?"
"There are less than 10,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and the silver rewards and salaries of the ministers of the DPRK and China will be distributed soon. There are also silver rewards and pensions for the army, which may not be less than a million gold."
The anger in Li Yi's heart gradually dissipated, and it turned out that he had been testing back and forth on the edge of bankruptcy.
Thinking about it, when I first came to the Gale Dynasty, the treasury was very poor. Besides eating, drinking and having fun, my predecessor, the bastard, didn't leave anything for himself.
He finally saved some money, and he recruited soldiers one after another to fight, and spent it all at once.
It's better now, there are holes everywhere, the people of Sanqin are boiling with resentment, and there have been several civil commotions. If there is no more food for disaster relief, I'm afraid another Zhu Chongyuan will be born.
Ask Zhao Huaijin to borrow some more?
Li Yi then shook his head again. There is no free lunch in the world. The money he borrowed last time had given him a lot of benefits to the Zhao family. If he gave it again, the nature would change.
But the speed of spending money was so terrifying that Li Yi felt distressed just looking at it.
It seems that the Dafeng Dynasty is not just changing, but also undergoing major changes. Tax reform and government system reform must be accelerated and implemented.
Reform is no small matter, it can affect the whole body, not to mention that the Dafeng Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles. If he does anything wrong, he will become like Wang Mang and lose his head.
However, it is not appropriate to talk on paper. In the end, it may be a waste of joy.
Li Yi couldn't help but sigh. He had a headache. I'm afraid reform wouldn't be that easy and would involve too many people's interests.
Right now, the main thing is making money.
There is no doubt that the economic base determines the superstructure.
I don’t know what happened to the Caihua Hall that I had entrusted to Cao Qingyan to run.
Li Yi shouted loudly: "Come, please tell Cao Qingyan."
Not long after, Cao Qingyan walked in quickly and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty."
"We are all our own people, get up, there is not much to do." Li Yi waved his hand, "I ask you, how is Caihua Hall?"
Hearing this, Cao Qingyan's old face immediately showed a hint of joy, "Your Majesty's kindness is so great. To be honest with you, the Caihua Hall has already made a profit of one hundred thousand gold in the past six months."
"This is only in the Sifang area of the capital. Nowadays, there are Caihua Halls in various places. I haven't had time to check the account books. A rough estimate is that it may not be less than a million gold."
Li Yi was overjoyed and couldn't help nodding in appreciation: "Okay, okay, it's really great. I didn't expect that the profit of a Caihua Hall would be so violent."
But Xu Hou interrupted and said: "Your Majesty, one million gold is not enough. The Daliang Palace has just experienced a military disaster. I am afraid that it still needs to appease the people. The Qiang people are evil and ambitious. They also need money to appease them. At the same time, they will reduce taxes. The demand is also massive.”
Li Yi's brows were happy just now, and then he frowned. He was still too optimistic, and finally understood the sentence, it is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to dominate the world.
After all, there is still a lack of money.
"Okay, I understand, please step back." Li Yiping retreated from everyone and finally went to the harem.
How could he forget that he had a little money-making expert in his harem?
The last time she told me about the bank matter, I don’t know how it went?
If it can be realized, I will no longer be short of money from now on, and I will have wealth and freedom.
In the future, it will all depend on this to bring peace to the world and expand the world.
On the way, he encountered another soldier of the Forbidden Army fighting shirtless, and Li Yi couldn't help but go over to play.
It doesn't matter, this play doesn't stop until the bright moon is high and lights are everywhere.
Only then did Li Yi remember that he wanted to discuss important matters with Zhao Huaijin, so he hurried all the way to the harem and drove away the eunuchs and maids.
It's an eyesore and an eyesore.
Li Yilong walked straight towards Zhao Huaijin's palace. This little girl had not been here a few times since breaking the melon, so it was difficult for her.
Whatever you say today, I must accompany her well.
Li Yi was indescribably excited when he thought of Zhao Huaijin's pink skin, slender figure, and rough waves.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, the more urgent I became, and my steps became faster unconsciously.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, Li Yi was a little lost. The winding path made it impossible to tell which room it was.
You know, a palace in the harem is not just a house, especially the palace of Zhao Huaijin, which is like a small palace, including the front hall, the back hall, the middle hall, the side hall, and various palaces. represents a purpose.
There are no less than dozens of houses in front and back, large and small.
The most terrible thing is that the houses are all exactly the same, no one can tell them apart clearly.
"What the hell!"
"Huaijin is in that room, but he looks the same. Is it this one or this one?"
Li Yi couldn't laugh or cry. He couldn't find the house where his wife lived. It turned out that having more houses was not a good thing.
"It should be this one, right?" He said to himself, pushing open a room with a slight smell of strange fragrance, "It should be this one."
He walked into the room, only to find that the room was completely dark. He couldn't see his fingers and no lights were on.
"This girl Huaijin is really bad at learning, and she's even flirting with her."
"But, I like it."
Li Yi walked in quietly, and when he saw it, on an exquisite soft cave, a woman with a jade body was lying on her side. In the dark, the woman's figure was graceful and concave and convex, which was very seductive. people.
"Xiao Nizi, you're still pretending to be with me. I haven't seen you for a few days. You must be hungry and thirsty already!"
"Let's see how I deal with you tonight."
Then, he took off his clothes one by one until he was naked and without any hair.
This was also his habit in his previous life, he liked to "sleep on fruit."
He quickly got on the bed and hugged Zhao Huaijin from behind. As for Zhao Huaijin on the bed, he was also wearing close-fitting pajamas. There was almost no obstacle, allowing Li Yi to easily steal a pair of "white rabbits."
"Why are you so young?" Li Yi was still wondering? I didn’t think much about it, I thought it wasn’t developed enough.
Slowly, the movements became louder and louder, until the woman suddenly made a "comfortable" sound.
Li Yi's expression suddenly changed. No, this is not Zhao Huaijin on the bed!
This sound is wrong!
The next second, his heart suddenly shook, "Who is it!"
But you still haven’t taken it out?
