Chapter 1298

How did this come about?

It turns out that the new emperor's majesty, after stabilizing the court and keeping everything under his control, began to recruit skilled craftsmen throughout the Tianlong emperor's Dynasty to build a magnificent palace in the back palace.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he began to build Chinese houses, which worried many ministers. This is not a good omen.

How many monarchs of subjugation are extravagant and harmful to the country!

Of course, these ministers dare not say so.

They just gently admonished his majesty that the former Emperor had always been simple, and that his majesty could follow his predecessor's legacy.

Long Xiao looks at the Hubu Shangshu in the court.

The Minister of Hubu was an old man with a moustache and a shrewd look.

Of course, it is impossible to be unskillful to be able to achieve such an official position as secretary of the Ministry of accounts.

The Secretary of the Ministry of finance still has the ability to be too stingy.

Money is more important than anything else.

At that time, the emperor thought that it might be a good idea to let such a person be the Minister of household affairs.

It turned out to be a good idea. After the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts took office, the Treasury became more and more abundant.

Long Xiao is very sure of his ability, but sometimes he feels that the old man is really upset.

For example, at this time

From the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, the Ministry of Hubu has been eloquent about the time for a cup of tea!

The central idea behind the story is that there is no money! Your majesty, you need to be frugal!

Feeling the lower and lower air pressure on his majesty, many ministers quietly stepped back a step away from this brave Shangshu Lord.

As the saying goes, the new official takes office three fires, not to mention this is the most noble one in the whole Tianlong.

He wants to build a palace. You can do as he likes!

In any case, Tianlong's national strength is strong and the National Treasury is abundant. Let alone build a palace, even if another imperial city is built, there is no problem.

Long Xiao listened patiently for a while, and found that if he didn't make a sound, the Shangshu would have another cup of tea. Finally, he couldn't help interrupting his words.

"Qian Aiqing, I have a few questions to ask. You can answer them."

Hubu Shangshu was stunned. Some of them didn't understand the relationship between the emperor's sale and he had to bow down: "Your Majesty, I will know everything."

"Are there any of my people who can't eat enough and wear warm clothes?"

Qian Shangshu a Leng: "Your Majesty's grace, Tianlong people's food and clothing."

"Well, I ask you again, have I ever collected exorbitant taxes and levies from the people?"

Qian Shangshu respectfully replied: "Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, never."

"I ask you again, what was the income of my Treasury last year?"

"In reply, your majesty..."

Almost subconsciously, Qian Shangshu reported a series of figures.

When he finished, he realized that he was wrong and looked at the emperor at the head of the court.

Long Xiao looked at him like a smile: "such a huge income, and there has never been a large amount of expenditure, money Shangshu, you tell me that there is no money?"

Yao Shangshu's legs softened instantly.

I can't go on with that!

If he dares to say that he has no money, he will be able to give orders to the emperor to copy his family. Where has all the revenue from the Treasury last year gone?

Qian Shangshu looked at the emperor who was digging a pit to jump for himself. He wanted to cry without tears: "reply to your majesty, the old minister is old, and he has just miscalculated."

"Oh ~" Long Xiao suddenly realized, "in other words, money, right?"

Qian Shangshu nods hard.
