Chapter 183 Discussion

After Lv Yijian thanked Renzong, he then talked about the recent war. When it was mentioned that when the Xixia army attacked and harassed the border, Bai Shouzhong (formerly Moxiang, the servant of Xixia Youzhou), the Shunde army in Youzhou, did not send troops to intercept the Xixia army in time, nor warned our army in advance. This person could not be trusted.

Renzong had already thought about the wording and directly made a decree saying that he instructed Yan Yujing to write a letter to Bai Shouzhong of Youzhou. The letter asked him where he was standing on, and scolded him a few words to see how he reacted.

Lv Yi wrote it in his heart and asked by the way, "Is it okay to cut Bai Shouzhong's official position as a deputy envoy for punishment?"

Renzong nodded and asked Lv Yijian to do this matter. Lv Yijian readily accepted that he would not say more.

After Lv Yijian, who was more than ten thousand people under one person, reported his work, it was the turn of the Song Dynasty, that Yao Zhongsun, the Minister of Finance, made a speech.

Yao Zhongsun took a few steps forward slowly. After standing firmly, he bowed to His Majesty Renzong. Renzong said, "What's the matter with you, Aiqing?"

Yao Zhongsun replied: "Your Majesty, the end of the year is approaching. I have sorted out the treasury of this year. Please have a look."

After saying that, he presented a fold with both hands that had been proposed for a long time. After the eunuch of Si Dian took it, he handed it over to Renzong.

Renzong took a look at the memorial written on the rice paper and thought it was okay. He asked on the spot, "Yao Qing, as a plan, what do you think of this year's treasury income?"

Yao Zhongsun immediately replied: "There are several million taels more than last year. This year, the tax in the area of Suhu and Luzhou is much more than in previous years, so the treasury has more income."

"Yes, it's good. It's good. Yao Qing did a good job. I'll reward you with another goldfish bag. After that, I'll ask the waiter to send it to the house."

Yao Zhongsun was overjoyed and hurried forward to thank Renzong. He shouted long live, but he did not refuse.

Renzong continued, "Since all the Aiqing is here today, Yao Qing will talk about the tax on the general treasury of the world this year, so that Zhong Aiqing will be happy, and also learn about this year's income and expenditure by the way, so that you can know it well, and there will be a reference when drawing up various folds in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty" was just rewarded with a goldfish bag by Renzong. Yao Zhongsun was happy. His sleepiness was gone, and his spirit also came up. His eyes were brilliant and he said loudly, "As of the end of this month, my total income in this year's treasury is 2,911,62,200, 6,23 million more than last year. One thousand seven hundred, this extra more than six million is the money provided by Suhu and Luzhou. Your Majesty, this year's income is still very good."

"Very good, the income is a lot." Renzong suddenly changed his posture, leaned slightly to the left, and put his left hand on his jaw. Looking at Yao Zhongsun, he looked at his back and cool. He said to himself what's wrong with your majesty and how he sat like this, but he just couldn't persuade him. On the contrary, he heard Renzong open his mouth first. He said, "I have also seen the income of the treasury this year, which is more than 29 million yuan. I am very gratified and happy, but how much is the expenditure of my DPRK this year? Do you know?"

"This..." The martial arts and literature officials in the hall were stunned and sighed at the same time. They said, "Is this your majesty's inspecting me, or are you asking it intentionally, or doing it on purpose, answering or not? If you answer, what should you say? If you don't answer, it's still simple. I'm afraid that your majesty will suddenly ask your head, and your eyes will be blackened. That's what happened. In case the dragon's face is unhappy, he will be demoted. When everyone was making their own small calculations in their hearts, the household department seemed to stand up and answer, "Your Majesty, I know how much my dynasty spent this year."

When everyone saw that it was the old Shang Shuzhang of the Ministry of Household, they were relieved and shouted that it was fortunate that he was a plotter. Otherwise, your majesty asked for a long time and no one answered, so it would be difficult to do.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhang." Renzong looked at him kindly and nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is the micro minister"

"Well, since the old man said that he knows the expenditure situation of our dynasty this year, please bother the old man to talk about it in front of the Qing family, so that the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty also knows the expenditure situation of our dynasty this year, so that we can know it well and aim in the future."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang De took a step forward on the old dragon bell ground, stood in the back position of Yao Zhongsun, the envoy of the three divisions, and answered loudly, "At the first day of this year, your majesty rewarded all the envoys and ministers of the court, which cost more than 300,000 yuan;

On the Lantern Festival Day on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Kaifeng Prefecture aims to build a mountain hut in front of Xuande Building for celebration. The name: Qingli and the people have fun together, and the cost is 53,000;

On the day before the beginning of spring, the day before the beginning of spring, Kaifeng Mansion entered the spring cattle and was forbidden to whip the spring. Your Majesty rewarded a thousand yuan. On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, your majesty's car was lucky enough to drive to the auspicious pool in May and give a banquet to the ministers. At night, he drove to the inner circle, have fun with hundreds of officials and clans, watched the lanterns and flowers, and spent 15,000 yuan a day.

In February, in the Song and Xia border war, military food was insufficient, and the treasury paid 500,000 yuan. However, illegal merchants took the opportunity to make profits from it, so that the salt price plummeted and the treasury suffered heavy losses. Later, the new salt solution method was implemented, the salt price was flattened, and the treasury spent 200,000 yuan.

During the Qingming Festival, His Majesty sent orders to the tombs to enjoy the sacrifices, and gave the palace people a purple shirt, white silk triangle, and paid 10,000 yuan.

On March 1st, the Jinmingchi Qionglin Garden was opened. Your Majesty's royal driver was lucky to watch the standard tin banquet in the water hall. The next day, the royal driver was lucky to go to the banquet hall of Baojin Tower and watch all the troops present a hundred plays. On the third day, the royal driver was lucky to shoot the bow in the hall. In the afternoon, it was lucky to pass the game in Linchi Garden, with a total of 60,000 yuan in three days.

..."

When he said this, Zhao Yuanyan, the king of the town, stood up, interrupted the Zhang Dynasty, and refuted, "Lord Zhang, the expenses of the inner court have nothing to do with the treasury. Why is it so detailed? Is it possible that your majesty is not allowed to spend money?"

The words of the king of Zhen are obviously said to Renzong, which means that Lord Zhang, you are too broad-minded. Usually, I rarely participate in the government. Today, this must be said, otherwise what is the face of the royal family?

"Old Prince" Zhang turned around and bowed to the king of the town, and then said, "Actually, this is what your majesty told Weichen, and Weichen dares not say it!"

"You!" The king of the town was stunned, and then turned his eyes to Renzong to see what the imperial nephew said.

Renzong cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Lord Zhang's words are true. After the day before yesterday, I asked the servant to pass on to Lord Zhang. I told him in the hall today all my expenses this year, in front of the Qing family."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to talk about it in detail. If you also want to say what you spend the money, then you have to take out your salary to let the ministers know!" The king of the town hinted to Renzong.

Renzong understood the meaning of the king of the town and waved his hand and answered, "No wonder, my prince. I mean this. In the future, the court will add one more thing, that is, at the end of every four seasons, a report on the income and expenditure of the national treasury. It should be reported in front of civil and military officials. The content of the report should be as detailed as possible. The monthly expenditure will be reported clearly. Mr. Lv, please arrange it!"
