Chapter 378 How is the money divided?(2/2)
Once this money is distributed to the palace, His Majesty will definitely spend it on it. He said that he would give more money to the palace, but in fact, the money will eventually fall to Xu Guangqi.
Obviously, Xu Guangqi is using this reason to ask for more money for himself, which makes people not very happy.
"The expenditure of the new army should be divided into the national treasury." After a moment of silence, Sun Chengzong said slowly.
This sentence made everyone unexpectedly look at Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong did not care and continued, "You should all know why Your Majesty paid for the training of the new army. It was because His Majesty wanted to train the new army at that time, but the treasury had no money; even if the treasury had money, we would not let His Majesty invest so much."
"But now the facts have proved that the new army is indeed very capable, so it's nothing to pay for the money. After all, the country is not peaceful now. Last year, the southwest rebelled and wars in Liaodong were frequent; the Tartars in Shaanxi were not peaceful, and they invaded more than a dozen times in a year, which shows how rampant they are."
"Shandong is also rebelling now, and it can be seen that there is no peace everywhere. There is nothing wrong with expanding the army at such a troubled time. Once you want to use troops, there will be no one available. You should also know that there is something wrong and you can't count on it."
Sun Chengzong was the Minister of War. This time he wanted to transfer the money to the treasury. To put it bluntly, he was taking over the power for himself.
The Ministry of Revenue paid the money to the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War transferred it to each army. The power here is quite large.
No one from Xu Guangqi and others agreed with Sun Chengzong, but instead looked at him with some concern.
If the inner treasury pays the money, it means that the emperor is raising soldiers. Now the new army can be said to be built by His Majesty. It may not be easy for Sun Chengzong to add one thing to it. Will Your Majesty agree?
Although it seems that His Majesty doesn't have to pay for it on the surface, everyone knows what's going on.
"This matter is probably not easy." Han Du looked at Sun Chengzong and said helplessly.
After saying this, Han Du didn't speak anymore.
The few people present understood what Han Du meant, and they meant that it was a bit of a cold moment.
After a while, Xu Guangqi said, "Things must be done one by one, and you cannot be too hasty."
Sun Chengzong glanced at Xu Guangqi and said, "Some rules cannot be broken."
Everyone understood this time.
Sun Chengzong is fighting back against Xu Guangqi just wanted to spend more money on himself.
Han Du looked at the two of them and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
