Chapter 378 How is the money divided?(1/2)
Xu Xianchun made such suggestions at this time and would not offend too many people, but many people would be grateful to him. After all, such things are what they should do, and no one wants to be held accountable afterwards.
Xu Xianchun is His Majesty's close minister, and his words will make everyone believe more. The most important point is that Xu Xianchun is now his own person, and everyone has made such a mistake.
In this case, no one will use too bad thoughts to guess him.
Everyone agreed with a smile and bowed to thank Xu Xianchun, "Then I'll have to worry about Lord Xu!"
After everyone left, Xu Xianchun sighed and walked out with a firm look on his face.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong who was standing beside him and asked calmly: "Have everyone gone?"
"Go back to the emperor, everyone is gone." Chen Hong nodded and said.
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything more.
This matter ends here, and I will not pursue it anymore. I believe that after this blow, they will know what to do. If someone continues to do it in the future, they will no longer have to soften their hearts.
Speaking of which, this time, it was not soft-hearted, but just for some political considerations.
He stood up and moved his muscles and bones. Zhu Youxiao remembered something and said with a smile: "Transfer to the six departments of the cabinet to discuss matters tomorrow and discuss how to spend the money."
"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong's hand shook slightly and quickly agreed.
In fact, without Zhu Youxiao’s words, the people below should have set their sights on this money long ago.
This time, I got so much money back from Shandong, it is impossible for the people below to be jealous of them. Everyone is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.
I hold it in my pocket when I have no money, and I naturally have to find a way when I have money.
Zhu Youxiao also knew that the money could not be kept, and he did not intend to stay. He got so much money back just to spend it.
But how to spend this money has to be discussed. Some places need to spend more, while some places don’t need to spend too much.
Of course, there are other things to discuss, but they are all not big things.
"Let's go, now go see the queen." After Zhu Youxiao said this, he walked out in great enthusiasm.
After Zhu Youxiao came back from Shandong, the first thing he did was to meet Queen Zhang. After all, Queen Zhang was still pregnant with his child, so she had to see Queen Zhang first.
After a long time of separation, he was a little shocked when he saw Queen Zhang's belly showing, so he naturally had to go over and take a look today.
"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly followed.
Now in the palace, no one dares to provoke the Empress. The Empress, who was favored by His Majesty, is still pregnant and may give birth to a prince.
The two soon arrived at the place where Queen Zhang lived.
At this time, Empress Zhang was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, and the palace servant gently slapped a palm-leaf fan next to her.
Since she became pregnant, Queen Zhang has become particularly careful and attaches great importance to herself, for fear of harming the children in her belly. She will bask in the sun for an hour every day and will come out to move her body.
When Empress Zhang saw Zhu Youxiao coming, she wanted to stand up, but her body became a little bulky and her movements were slower.
Zhu Youxiao quickly walked a few steps, reached out and gently pressed Queen Zhang's shoulder, and said with a gentle smile: "Don't get up, our old couple don't need this."
Queen Zhang laughed softly, not insisting on standing up.
After she sat down again, she smiled gently, "After all, it's a courtesy that cannot be waived."
"Etiquette is for outsiders to see, so we are no longer needed." Zhu Youxiao also sat down, reached out to hold Queen Zhang's hand, and asked with concern: "How is it feeling recently? If you have any discomfort, hurry up and find an imperial physician; give instructions on what you want to eat and let them do it. Don't always think about being frugal. Such a great Ming Dynasty can still support my queen and prince."
After hearing this, Queen Zhang smiled softly and said, "I have become much plump and I have served the people below with all my heart. Your Majesty should rest assured. But this time, Your Majesty went to Shandong, which was a bit too risky."
"If you don't go out for a walk, you don't know what's going on outside." Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "I'll know how they made this official for me after going out."
After hearing this, Queen Zhang did not continue the topic, after all, this time the matter was too sensitive.
After thinking about it, Queen Zhang said, "Your Majesty summoned people to the palace today, but is there anything wrong? I heard that many people are not very good when they leave."
"Someone is here to gossip about it?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Queen Zhang and said with a calm face.
"Your Majesty, don't think too much. This is not a secret in itself. Everyone in the palace knows it." Empress Zhang smiled and pulled Zhu Youxiao and said, "I just want to tell Your Majesty that there is no need to worry too much. Those people don't think about it, they don't know the importance. This time, there are some connections in my parents' home, so your Majesty doesn't need to worry about me!"
"I know how to do it, and I won't be cheaper for them." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just a fool of some people with ulterior motives. Just teach me a lesson."
"What does Your Majesty say?" Empress Zhang accompanied Zhu Youxiao and said with a smile.
The couple didn't continue to say anything, just basking in the sun and chatting together, saying something was wrong.
At this time, the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.
The breeze blows on the willows and the climate is pleasant.
In such an atmosphere, both of them were a little lazy.
At the same time, in the cabinet.
Several cabinet ministers were also chatting.
The cabinet knew very clearly about Shandong, but some of the inside stories are still not clear.
Han Yu was asking about some details of the matter, and Xu Guangqi was explaining, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"These people are too brave!" Han Yu put down the tea in his hand and said in anger.
"Yes!" Sun Chengzong also echoed: "Brigging local officials, reselling the imperial court's disaster relief food, and colluding with the Scent of Incense Sect is simply lawless! After the matter was done, they were actually thinking about threatening and coercing His Majesty, damn it!"
There was basically no criticism in the cabinet about this matter, and a few people soon reached a consensus.
This is also a consensus that must be reached, not to mention that when they are at their position, these things are indeed not within their tolerance.
This is a provocation to the power of the court. A provocation to the power of the court is a provocation to those of them who hold power.
"The affairs of the Kong family still need to be resolved." Xu Guangqi looked at Han Yu and others and said slowly: "Otherwise, if there is no explanation from scholars all over the world, things may become very bad. We have to work together for this matter!"
After hearing Xu Guangqi's words, the few people also fell silent.
They naturally heard about the Kong family. Although some things cannot be explained, they all know the general direction.
The Kong family did something too much, even more than the vassal kings. On weekdays, people were righteous when they talked about vassal kings, but now it was the Kong family's turn, so I'm afraid they were not so righteous.
However, the affairs of the Kong family have come to an end now, and the charges of the Kong family are still being settled. Han Yu and others will not stop them, but they will not step on them. Everything will go with the flow.
But now there is one thing to be solved, that is, the Kong family has collapsed, and the title of Yan Shenggong cannot be destroyed. Once the title of Yan Shenggong falls, it may lose people's hearts.
In this case, Han Dong and others naturally have to think of a way.
The best way is to create another Yan Sheng Gong.
The Kong family fell, and only the Northern Sect was destroyed. The Kong family also had a Southern Sect, so they could support them.
Supporting the Southern Sect of the Kong family is considered a consensus among Han Du and others. However, there is one thing they have no choice, that is, it depends on Your Majesty’s thoughts. They don’t know what Your Majesty is thinking now. To put it bluntly, will Your Majesty agree?
After all, at this time, the Kong family did such a thing, and it would be inappropriate for them to ask His Majesty to support the Southern Sect of the Kong family.
Who knows whether the Kong family Southern Sect will become the next Kong family Northern Sect?
Once Your Majesty thinks this way, things will be difficult to handle. So Xu Guangqi said that everyone should do their best to convince Your Majesty on this matter.
"I'm afraid it's not easy." Han Du glanced at Xu Guangqi, sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty is angry now! It may be difficult to convince Your Majesty."
"Can't wait any longer." Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "If you wait any longer, you will be in chaos."
"If you want to discuss matters tomorrow, why not mention this matter?" Xu Guangqi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said, "Prior the people below, don't talk nonsense, let alone say something ignorant."
The meaning of this sentence is very clear. Don’t let them say anything messy. At this time, you can only follow Your Majesty and never stimulate Your Majesty.
If Your Majesty becomes rebellious, it will become more troublesome. At that time, the ministers and Your Majesty will compete with each other and things will be even worse.
"We will pay attention." Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "I have already ordered it."
Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "Tomorrow we should also pay attention to the way we speak, so that our Majesty can't think we have selfish intentions. Otherwise, it will become very troublesome. You must be prepared."
Han Du and others nodded, and said nothing more. This matter was decided.
The rest is about spending money.
Xu Guangqi's eyes swept over Han Yu and others again, and said slowly: "The money and food in the court have always been very nervous. This time, I did get some back in Shandong. But should we discuss and don't report some things?"
Now Xu Guangqi is afraid of angering Zhu Youxiao, so he is preparing to discuss in advance and not everyone speaks.
Everyone talked randomly, and the amount of money would definitely go up. Your Majesty would definitely be unhappy at that time.
"Don't rush to discuss this, let's discuss how to divide it." Sun Chengzong said to Xu Guangqi and others.
After hearing this, Xu Guangqi and others were silent.
What kind of division is of course not between them, but how to divide it with His Majesty. After taking out the silver, it will eventually be divided into two parts.
Part of it belongs to the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, and the other part must be handed over to the emperor's inner treasury. According to previous rules, it is usually 60% of the treasury and the inner treasury is four levels.
"Is there anything wrong?" Han Du looked at Xu Guangqi and others and asked directly.
In fact, all government offices are using money, and Han Du, the chief minister of the cabinet, also has a headache.
Under such circumstances, if there is more money to be given to the palace, Han Yu may not be able to explain to the following.
"Your Majesty also needs money." Xu Guangqi said slowly: "This time, Qi Jin fought a beautiful battle in Shandong. You should also understand that the new army has always been paying money, and now His Majesty may have no money."
"This time the war was so beautiful, I'm afraid the new army will also be expanded. Once the new army is expanded, the money will definitely cost more."
After Xu Guangqi finished speaking, Han Yu and others did not speak. Everyone present understood why Xu Guangqi said that.
The training of the new army has always been something Xu Guangqi supports, and the Aboriginal Academy is also under his control.
