The third document was sent by the imperial court's Ministry of War.
And they made a special trip to decentralize it, and they did not hesitate to use expedited delivery for this purpose.
Okay, let’s read it first before talking about it.
The article said: I want to ask for 200,000 taels of tax money from Qiongzhou to supplement the current dwindling military supplies. I also hope that the governor of Qi will not be stingy, put the overall situation first, and give up small funds to promote success.
The meaning behind the words was very clear, it was to ask for money.
Generally speaking, when the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible!
As long as the country uses you, you have to give up your ego to achieve great righteousness. Let alone asking for money, even if you ask for your life, you have to offer it with both hands, and you must not be conceited.
From a realistic perspective, the court is indeed short of money now.
At present, when the foreign war has ended and the national treasury is not overflowing, we urgently need a certain amount of time to recuperate and recuperate. Of course, if you want to restore your vitality, you have to supplement it with corresponding resources. Without real money, it is absolutely impossible to play.
Judging from the above two points, the imperial court is indeed waiting for rice to come to the pot, and it is indeed time for him to lend a helping hand.
In the face of righteousness, I will never be ambiguous.
However, there was something strange and puzzling about this matter.
How do you say this?
Let’s listen to the analysis.
As far as normal procedures are concerned, any initiative to claim taxes must be initiated by the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is an ironclad rule. If the amount involved is relatively large, the cabinet will also speak out and provide corresponding official documents explaining the actual situation.
If you look at it now, people from the Ministry of War actually overstepped their authority and directly ignored the Ministry of Revenue, which is in charge of taxation, and sent the official reminder document in an independent way. This is obviously against the rules.
As for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Cabinet, they didn't even send a verbal greeting. Isn't this weird?
In addition, there is another point, that is, Qiongzhou is a large-scale fixed tax area designated by the emperor. The Sixth Ministry did not participate at the time. Now the Ministry of War has openly participated. This is obviously an overstep.
Moreover, the tax burden set at that time was clearly a fixed amount of one hundred thousand taels of silver. Why did it suddenly double now?
Even if taxes were to be increased, it would have to be done through an edict from the emperor. How could the likes of cats and dogs change this? In other words, except for the imperial edict, nothing else is recognized.
Let's talk about the current situation first. The Ministry of War is now overstepping its authority to demand, among which it is absolutely

It contains some unknown trick. As for what it is, it remains to be further observed.
Qi Yu naturally didn't know that this was the result of Yin Jun's efforts to deal with it. It's just that the white-faced leader suppressed the Ministry of Revenue and negotiated the cabinet, but in the end he failed to win over the Ministry of War.
In fact, it’s not anyone else’s fault. Who told him to challenge the Ministry of War to impeach him?
Otherwise, people might give him some thin noodles and let Qiongzhou go?
Those were all things happening behind the scenes, so Qi Yu naturally wouldn't know about it. His understanding was intuitive and simple: this move was naked blackmail.
Yes, it’s blackmail!
If we add in the request for war horse fodder not long ago, this is already the second time this year.
Humph, even if it's wool, you can't catch a fat sheep and grind it over and over again, right?
Niang Xipi, are you really treating me like a weakling?
Gan!
The angry Qi Yu didn't talk nonsense. His reply only contained two words: No money!
straightforward! Clean and tidy!
There is really no need to waste words on these unscrupulous people.
And there is no need to be angry about it.
Yes, we are not annoyed.
Qi Yuping calmly replied to these three official documents with a normal attitude. After that, he issued urgent orders immediately without any mistakes.
This time the message was sent on a steam engine-powered message ship. I believe that it will not take long before it reaches its destination in the capital city smoothly.
…
The sun sets, night falls, and the sky is filled with stars.
Under the flickering lights, Qiongzhou New Town ushered in a brand new night.
As far as the current moment is concerned, it is the time when thousands of people are enjoying dinner.
Liu Quan didn't know where he heard it from, saying that eating more broad beans can nourish the kidneys. In traditional medicine, it is called "Xingbu".
So she simmered it over low heat and cooked a large casserole of broad bean soup with medicinal herbs to replenish the body of her hard-working husband.
"Ms. sir, does it taste good?"
"Uh... pretty good!"
Qi Yu took a sip and nodded perfunctorily, but he was thinking in his heart: This is so bitter, how can it be as delicious as the fragrant big bone soup?
After dinner, he took some time to give guidance on Qi Xiao's study for a while. After that, he made a deep impression on his wife
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
At the reminder of his wink, he walked leisurely into the charming bedroom.
Since he hadn't enjoyed the special moisture of the world between two people for a long time, Qi Dalang couldn't help but feel a little itchy as soon as he walked in.
Let’s take the initiative: the ball-grabbing dragon beckons!
Snapped!
Shoot that man down!
Liu Quan twisted his hands unconsciously in a seemingly fierce manner, and then stabilized his breathing: "Don't be careless, be honest for a while, I have something to tell you."
Qi Yu became a little more self-conscious and said reluctantly: "Is there something we can't talk about tomorrow? Why do we need to get together now?"
"You, you are so busy every day, how can you have any extra time to talk to me?" After a charming look, Liu Quan said again: "Don't you think it's time to give Sister Yin a status?"
Um?
Why did it suddenly go off topic and involve her?
How strange.
In addition, listening to the lady's tone, it seemed that she knew about the progress of her relationship with that little girl. Could it be that the two of them had an affair in private?
Forget it, since she took the initiative to ask, she should answer truthfully.
Qi Yu smacked his lips and said honestly: "She once told me that she doesn't care about worldly status. What she wants is that I have her beloved in my heart. That's enough. What about her words? , I don’t know whether it’s true or false, or whether it’s meant to be perfunctory.”
Liu Quan smiled and said: "Although I don't know what her real thoughts are, I firmly believe that she should really hope that our Qi family will express something and not be indifferent like before."
This is a hint!
Absolute hint.
Qi Yu looked at his wife and asked sincerely: "Tell me the truth, is it she who commissioned you to conduct the test? If so, I will have a clear understanding in my heart."
Liu Quan shook his head and said, "Don't make random guesses. This is my personal guess."
oh, I get it.
This is the lady's personal temptation, not Yin Tao's instruction.
If so, it would be much easier to answer.
And no big worries.
According to traditional etiquette, the head wife is in charge of matters such as filling houses and taking in concubines, and she does have the right to intervene in this matter. As a husband, I should also have a solid relationship with him, so as to show "family harmony".
