Chapter 655 Money
"Take the Ministry of Revenue Report."
Li Chen asked Wan Jiaojiao to find out the official documents sent by the Ministry of Revenue earlier today. After reading them, she immediately frowned.
Other expenses are still within the normal budget, but today I rewarded the three armies and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on the first day alone.
Don’t look at the number of this number. It is just the beginning of the first day. According to the rules, the victory army must be based on the size of the battle, from seven days to one month. Various supplies, food, wine, and tens of thousands of people spend a day on a normal expense, not to mention the big fish, meat, slaughtering cattle and sheep during rewards. These are all bought by the imperial court for money.
In addition, if the disaster has not been completely calmed down today, the prices of various materials have soared. Not to mention that the people of the people feel that they can't stand it, even the court can't stand it.
According to the calculations of the Ministry of Revenue, at least 300,000 to 400,000 taels will be used for the entire reward. This is just the reward fee. Other rewards for military merits and pensions for death and disability will not be smaller than this number.
Although the Korean North Korea will pay for death, disability and other pensions, the current account is required to be paid by the court first.
Seeing Li Chen frowning, he was in a bad mood. He had been serving Li Chen for a long time. Wan Jiaojiao, who could figure out some tricks, said carefully: "Your Highness, the silver matter cannot be solved in a short time, so don't worry too much. It's not like this after so many years."
Li Chen exhaled and said, "In the past, the imperial court had no money, so he owed the salaries of officials. All other constructions were stopped. Those who could not stop could owe them. Those who could waive the salaries of civil servants could owed them. But these soldiers could not owe the military achievements they had obtained on the battlefield by putting their heads on their belts."
"If you owe it once, the reputation of the court will be broken. If the country is in trouble in the future, who will still work hard for the court? Even if you rely on your passion, you will always have to fill your stomach."
After saying this, Li Chen sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, bring all the several memorials I just read. Today I will arrange all the military merit rewards I rewarded this time. I will go to the morning court tomorrow and implement them earlier, so that the soldiers can feel at ease as soon as possible."
Wan Jiaojiao felt a little sorry for the prince's hard work, but she didn't dare to stop him. She could only move out what Li Chen wanted, and quickly brewed a pot of ginseng tea and put it at Li Chen's hand.
Li Chen took the ginseng tea and took a sip, frowned slightly. He had never been used to the taste of ginseng, and it was the same now. However, Wan Jiaojiao was always kind-hearted, so he swallowed it.
Time always passes quickly when you are busy.
When Li Chen combined the finalized plan, it was already midnight.
It is time for him to go back and rest at this time, or ask Zhao Rui to relax, but today he did not, but went directly to the side palace of the East Palace.
In the side hall, there are three layers of Jinyiwei's elite guards in the inner and outer three layers of protection. Looking around, twenty or thirty people constantly patrolling in the open to ensure that there are no blind spots of defense. In the dark and in several other adjacent houses, there can be no less than a hundred elite Jinyiwei's elite guards at any time.
These people are all top players among the Jinyiwei.
It can be said that the top group of experts at the headquarters of Jingcheng East Factory are all here.
