Lu Yuan opened his mouth and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood to Gu Qingwan.
It is true that the Zhou Dynasty is rich now, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has released the financial statements for the first half of this year.
In previous years, the Zhou Dynasty threw away various things, and the national treasury increased by at most 70 million in a whole year.
But this year's fiscal revenue in the first half of the year alone has reached a terrifying 30 million yuan!
Even when the Zhou Dynasty was at its most prosperous, it had never had such a terrifying income.
Of course, to be precise, the Zhou Dynasty is now in its prime! !
It’s no wonder that when Gu Qingwan said that he wanted to lay a railway in the south, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue didn’t even blink an eye, pretending that he even agreed to take money from the Ministry of Revenue.
But the problem is...
The Zhou Dynasty was rich, the treasury was rich, and the Ministry of Household Affairs was rich, but...
She, Gu Qingwan, doesn’t have much money! !
All the emperor's money comes from the inner court.
The emperor also has a money bag, that is, the inner court.
But the last time Lu Yuan asked for 500,000, he almost emptied the inner court.
Another million? ?
This little thing really thinks he is printing money, right? !
How can I still have money? !
The repairs of the palace also include wages and salaries for the eunuchs and maids.
All of these come from the inner court.
Gu Qingwan has been worrying recently about where the money for the inner court will come from next month.
This little thing is great, he can tell you a million when he opens his mouth! !
I have one million, so I will repair this palace first! !
Before this, when he first ascended the throne, the palace was in dilapidated condition and had not been taken care of.
Anyway, I was only active in Chonghua Hall and Taihe Hall.
Now that she has money, Gu Qingwan naturally wants to repair her own place.
Just after I saved some money, I took this little thing away for myself, and now it comes again? ! !
Immediately, Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth and said:
"Sister, where do you still have money?! You only wanted the five hundred thousand for a few days last time, and now it's gone again!!"
Lu Yuan carelessly led his wife directly onto the dragon platform, sat down in his exclusive seat and raised his eyebrows:
"Why don't you have any money? Doesn't the mining revenue from Xiaoqingshan count towards the inner court?"
Anyone who knows history knows that the emperor’s money is divided into two parts.
One is the Ministry of Husbandry. The money of the Ministry of Husbandry is used for the world, and the money of the inner court is used for the emperor.
To put it simply, it is the money of the inner court, and the emperor can use it as he wants.
But if the emperor wants to use the money from the Ministry of Revenue, he must do business, and the money must be used by famous teachers.
Generally speaking, the emperor actually doesn't mean to spend whatever he wants or make whatever he wants.
Of course, if the emperor really wants to make money, he can do it.
As for the most famous emperor, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, he just tried every means to make money for his inner court.
Well, the Ming Dynasty was more accurately called internal funds, while the Qing Dynasty was the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The names are different, but they all mean the same thing.
Gu Qingwan didn't have much money before, so Lu Yuanxin did.
But the problem is that Xiaoqingshan's mining revenue, as well as the mining revenue from the other two mines, are directly counted in the inner court, including the port's revenue and so on.
These are all considered royal assets.
Does Gu Qingwan have no money?
It’s weird if you don’t have money! !
Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan and gritted her teeth and said:
“The mine harvest has not yet reached the settlement date, it will still be more than a month away!!”
Lu Yuan blinked and said:
"Then let's settle the settlement in advance and settle the settlement here in Xiaoqingshan first. I really don't have any money here."
Gu Qingwan really hated Lu Yuan in front of her, and she stretched out her jade hand to grab Lu Yuan's ears.
But seeing the smiling Su Liyan next to her, Gu Qingwan held back.
Afterwards, Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth and said:
"Isn't that embarrassing?"
How can the emperor settle in advance? !
This kind of impatient greed for money is really not the behavior of an emperor! !
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"It's your own money, what's the shame? You have to get money for me anyway.
If you don't take the money, I will stop it. If it stops, it will be ruined.
Sister Emperor, you don’t want a bunch of unfinished buildings to appear in the center of the new city, right? "
Gu Qingwan: "???"
Looking at Lu Yuan in front of her, Gu Qingwan, who came back to her senses, looked at Su Liyan beside her and said softly:
"Li Yan, look at your man. He doesn't look like a lord here. Look at this little bastard, he's obviously a scoundrel!!"
Su Liyan couldn't get involved in this kind of thing, and she knew that Gu Qingwan was joking, so she blinked and pursed her lips and chuckled:
"Isn't this because Sister Wan dotes on my man too much?"
Gu Qingwan rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan and said softly:
"Just get it for you!!"
The next second, Gu Qingwan looked at the eunuch below and said:
"Send someone to inform Xiao Qingshan, and the account will be cleared the day after tomorrow at the latest."
The eunuch immediately nodded and went down to give instructions.
After Gu Qingwan finished speaking, she stared at Lu Yuan and said:
“Last time, my sister will really have no money next time I come!!”
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and blinked:
"Isn't there money from the port? Isn't that money managed by the inner court?"
Regarding Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan was almost furious, but she said softly:
“That money needs to be settled once a year!!!”
Oh~~
That's it~
Lu Yuan really didn't know.
Seeing Gu Qingwan like this, Lu Yuan grinned and said:
"Oh, it's not like I don't want to pay back the money, why? Seriously."
But Gu Qingwan snorted softly and said:
"Sister wants to renovate the palace, but the courtyard in the northwest corner is almost collapsed!!"
Lu Yuan blinked and said:
"Don't worry. When I build that building in the future, I will repair it for you if I make money. I will not only repair the northwest corner for you, I will renovate the entire palace for you."
Regarding Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan snorted and said:
"Then don't do it. It's too expensive. Just repair the northwest corner."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is in its prime, so why not build some buildings?"
After finishing speaking, Lu Yuan remembered something, raised his eyebrows and said:
"But, having said that, sister, you are too poor. I asked you for five hundred thousand last time, so your inner court has no money??"
My shop earns more than 200,000 yuan a month.
Regarding Lu Yuan's words, Gu Qingwan glared at Lu Yuan and said:
"Do you think everyone is the same as you? The net profit from a piece of clothing is only twenty yuan!!
In the early years, in order to ease livelihoods, taxes on ports and other industries were exempted if possible, and they could not collect much money.
Moreover, the national treasury was unable to make ends meet before. If I had some money, it was all used to replenish the treasury. Where can my sister still have money?
The treasury of the Zhou Dynasty is rich this year, and my sister also wants to save some money. But you, little thing, opened your mouth and asked for half a million or one million! ! "
Looking at Gu Qingwan's appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Gu Qingwan couldn't help but give Lu Yuan a charming roll of her eyes and said:
"You still have the nerve to smile!!"
Afterwards, Gu Qingwan stood up and walked to Su Liyan, took Su Liyan's arm and said softly:
"Come on, Li Yan, let's go out for a walk and ignore this little bastard."
Before Su Liyan could say anything, Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Yuan again:
"Help my sister read the memorial on the table. This is the interest!!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan curled his lips and said:
"Why is it me again? Isn't this your job..."
After hearing what Lu Yuan said, Gu Qingwan stared at Lu Yuan with beautiful eyes and said:
"Hey, you don't want the money, right?"
Lu Yuan curled his lips and said, forget it.
Just watch it. Anyway, Lu Yuan didn't watch it once or twice during these times.
Just when Gu Qingwan was pulling Su Liyan to leave, Lu Yuan suddenly blinked and said:
"Remember to eat the potatoes."
Gu Qingwan was startled, but said nothing, and then pulled Su Liyan away in a hurry.
Lu Yuan sat directly on Gu Qingwan's throne.
As for whether you want to avoid suspicion or something...
Um……
Not required at all.
When Lu Yuan did this kind of thing before, he still had to think about it, but now there is no need for it at all.
The relationship between Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan has long been extraordinary.
It can be said that the relationship between the two is nothing more than a layer of window paper.
It’s just whoever can’t help it first, who breaks it first.
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with helping Gu Qingwan read the memorial.
Help Gu Qingwan reduce work pressure.
Lu Yuan would not have any thoughts of rebellion, because Gu Qingwan also knew that Lu Yuan and Su Liyan... were no longer mortals.
…
"Good sister... let's not eat anything today..."
At this time, at a corner of the palace, Gu Qingwan hugged Su Liyan's arm and begged for mercy in a low voice.
These days, it is almost more than a month.
Gu Qingwan has really been eating potatoes for a month.
It really made Gu Qingwan a fool.
Three meals a day makes me want to vomit.
Now that she saw these potatoes, Gu Qingwan felt sick to her stomach.
At this time, Su Liyan pulled off the skin from a potato in her hand, handed it to Gu Qingwan's little cherry mouth, shook her head and said:
"No, Sister Wan, I told you to eat it every day, so that you can cultivate immortality faster."
Listening to Su Liyan's words, Gu Qingwan pursed her lips slightly and said:
"But... I did what Lu Yuan said, but it didn't work at all..."
Su Liyan blinked and then said:
"Because it's just started, it's only been a month, so it won't have much effect. Come on, sister, open your mouth and take a bite."
Su Liyan was like coaxing a child to take medicine.
Gu Qingwan felt helpless for a while, but finally opened her mouth and took a small bite, reluctantly eating a piece and saying:
"How long have you been together?"
Su Liyan blinked and said:
"Hmm~~ Let's give it two or three months. Sister, haven't you seen that I can retrieve things from a distance? This is the effect of perseverance.
Come on, sister, ah~ take a bite~"
Su Liyan didn't tell the truth.
In my own man’s words…
It's just that Sister Wan's talent... isn't particularly good.
It has never been effective.
These potatoes are a natural treasure grown by my own man, they are precious.
But even if she fed her every day and every night, Lu Qingwan still didn't make any progress.
Even for Su Liyan, a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, Su Liyan could feel that the potato's essence of spiritual power dissipated immediately as soon as it entered Gu Qingwan's body.
Gu Qingwan's body cannot store these spiritual powers.
In the past month, Su Liyan personally taught Gu Qingwan how to cultivate immortality, but the effect was still not good.
In one month, Gu Qingwan had only reached the third level of the art of breathing.
There was nothing Su Liyan could do about this matter, and there was nothing Lu Yuan could do either.
He could only coax Gu Qingwan to eat potatoes first every day.
As for why they didn't tell the real situation of Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.
There is no way to say this.
It would be too much to dampen Gu Qingwan's enthusiasm.
Of course, this was the very beginning. Now, Su Liyan felt that it was okay to talk about it.
After all, Sister Wan is really a little discouraged about this matter now.
If you talk about the real situation between yourself and your man, maybe you can encourage Sister Wan.
At this time, Su Liyan coaxed Gu Qingwan into taking another bite.
Gu Qingwan really couldn't stand it.
Of course, it was unusual for Gu Qingwan to be able to eat these potatoes. Let’s not talk about other things, just talking about this potato. Gu Qingwan was really not hungry for several days.
But I am not hungry, and I am forced to eat potatoes three times a day.
Gu Qingwan really felt sick when she smelled it.
No matter how much Su Liyan coaxed her, Gu Qingwan couldn't get enough of it.
Seeing Gu Qingwan's resistance, Su Liyan blinked, then tilted her head slightly and said mysteriously:
"Sister Wan, do you know what my situation is now?"
Um?
Gu Qingwan was startled, and then looked at Su Liyan with a strange expression.
Gu Qingwan knew about potatoes, cultivating immortals and so on.
However, not much is known.
Moreover, I heard everything from Lu Yuan’s mouth.
Lu Yuan said that eating potatoes can lead to immortality, and Gu Qingwan believed him.
Then I kept eating, but nothing happened.
Gu Qingwan didn't ask any other questions, since Lu Yuan couldn't harm him anyway.
Moreover, Gu Qingwan did see the miraculous things like Su Liyan being able to levitate the memorial.
When Gu Qingwan was curious, Su Liyan's body suddenly floated into the air, that is, flew.
This scene really frightened Gu Qingwan.
Looking at Su Liyan in astonishment, she stuttered:
"Sister...sister...when did you learn to fly??"
Su Liyan landed, looked at Gu Qingwan, blinked and said:
"I forgot the specific time, but that's not important. What's important is, Sister Wan, do you know what realm of immortality I belong to now?"
Gu Qingwan shook her head in astonishment.
Then Su Liyan pursed her lips and smiled:
"It's the fourth level. My man said it's called the Golden Core Realm. Of course, that's not important. What's important is... the lifespan of the Golden Core Realm is three thousand years."
Three...three thousand years?
Gu Qingwan looked at Su Liyan in disbelief. This... the Zhou Dynasty has not existed for three thousand years...
Before Gu Qingwan could react, Su Liyan pursed her lips and looked at Gu Qingwan with a smile:
"So, Sister Wan, I can live for three thousand years~
Brother can also live for thousands of years~
Sister Wan~don’t you want to marry my man~
Just live for a few decades, then..."
Before Su Liyan finished speaking, Gu Qingwan had already stuffed half of the potato in Su Liyan's hand into her mouth without even peeling it.
At this time, Gu Qingwan had something in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging like a hamster, her beautiful face was blushing, and she looked unusually cute.
At this time, Gu Qingwan was chewing potatoes while blushing and muttering:
"Sister, just eat it, why are you saying such shameful words~"
Thanks to Aunt XX for the 100 book coins reward, thank you very much~
I can’t pronounce the first two words~
From now on, all those who are no longer young will pay their respects and recite them.
