At Chaoyang Gate, Yanjing City, a group of large Han soldiers walked forward in neat steps. Several officials from the Ministry of Revenue smiled. This month, they were busy. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were asked to ask about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

To put it too much, they have to ask about building a toilet in person...

"This is the last army, and we will be free in the future."

"What's the idle thing? The army is levied outside, and we are not responsible for the planning of food and wages? Alas! The emperor is really, why did he go to war with the barbarians in the north? It's not good to win, but if he loses, he affects the country's destiny..."

"Shhh... Be careful that there are ears in the walls. Isn't it okay for us to be officials to do things? Why bother with these things? It's not our turn to plan major national affairs."

"Yes! Let's go back and we have to report to Shangguan."

Wang Qinglu closed the account book and said to the officials in front of him with satisfaction: "I remember this account book very detailed, I did a good job!"

"Thank you for your compliment."

Wang Qing** headed up and said, "You go down, I will come to the palace to meet the saint."

"Subordinates surrender."

Wang Qinglu put the account book in his arms, sorted out the government office, and left the Ministry of Revenue, like the study in the south of the imperial palace.

Minshu looked at Wang Qinglu who was calm and leisurely, and knew that they had nothing to do. She gave a tribute first and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, the emperor is meeting with the ministers. I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."

Wang Qinglu took advantage of the situation and sat down aside and replied: "It's okay, I'll wait here."

In the Nan Study Room, Tang Liang was really unpredictable to Li Yunzhong's thoughts.

Li Yunzhong read the confession of Liu Xiucai again and asked, "In addition to the capital, these scholars are still there in the country or the people's hearts?"

Tang Liang bowed and replied: "The Intelligence Bureau has found out that the evidence is conclusive. Among them, some officials from the Ministry of Rites were the leaders of contacting relatives and friends from all over the country to slander the new policy. Not only that, they also ran several newspapers and slandered the new policy."

Li Yunzhong smiled indifferently and asked, "What should you do to treat these people?"

Tang Liang took a breath and thought to himself, I have to think about it with one word.

"Your Majesty, now that the court is in constitutionalization, we can no longer be implicated like before. Besides, the things that these scholars and juren do not die..."

"That's to let them go?"

Li Yunzhong thought a lot. Since the uprising, he has been enduring these self-righteous literati, but they have become more and more demanding and think that I dare not kill anyone. These ** bones, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, did not see them.

There are such hard bones.

Tang Liang tentatively said: "Why do you care about them for a few months? It's better to let them remember their surnames for a long time."

Li Yunzhong clenched his fists and said angrily: "Kill! There is no reform in the world that does not bleed, let them start!"

Tang Liang was extremely surprised. It didn't look like the emperor's style. He thought the emperor was just dazzled by anger. He immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded with mercy: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! These literati just drank too much and fooled them. The emperor

Why bother with them? Please spare them by the emperor."

Li Yunzhong tilted his head and stared at Tang Liang, and suddenly gritted his teeth and asked, "Tang Liang, I remember you are not a scholar, right? Why are you pleading for them? Do you know that I can remove you from your post by saying this? Humph! OK! OK! OK

!, tell me the reason.”

Tang Liang gritted his teeth and replied: "When I was a child, I read some books. At that time, I was ignorant and refused to study hard. Later, my family's fortunes fell into decline and I couldn't read them. My father died of depression, so I

I respect those juren and Jinshi very much..."

Li Yunzhong shook his head unpredictably. He really didn't understand Tang Liang's words and sighed: "There are good and bad scholars in the world, and the officials in the world are loyal and annihilated. Do you respect these juren and Jinshi?"

Tang Liang didn't dare to reply, and he had never thought about these things.

Li Yunzhong said coldly: "Get up, go back and do a good job. Don't think about it in the future."

Tang Liang sighed inwardly and replied, "I'm going to leave."

Seeing Tang Liang leaving sadly, Minshu didn't understand what happened, so she came in and reminded her in a sweet voice: "Emperor, the Minister of Revenue is looking for a meeting outside."

Li Yunzhong seemed to meet a savior and asked anxiously: "Minshu, I ask you, how did you treat scholars in the Qing Dynasty in the past? These people are so distorted, they are really bastards! In the past, you were engaged in literary inquisitions in the Qing Dynasty.

I really want to learn to see if these literati are stubborn or my sword is stubborn."

Minshu's cherry mouth can already hang a soy sauce bottle. Finally, after hearing Li Yunzhong's words, he replied with a tight face: "Does the emperor want to be a tyrant? As if he is stable today, the people of Dawn are looking forward to the emperor's implementation of benevolent policies and creation.

In a peaceful and prosperous era, how can the emperor slaughter the scholars!"

Li Yunzhong was stunned and was criticized by the little beauty. He felt really embarrassed. The depression he had just now had already been thrown out of the sky and immediately asked: "When your ancestors entered the pass, why did you slaughter the world? Which city in China has not suffered military disasters?"

"Woo... you bully me!" Minshu's eyes were blurred and she choked up, "What the emperor doesn't understand, how can I answer you if my wife is."

"I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, but I have made up my mind to teach these literati a lesson. Are you going to kill some of them to vent my anger." Li Yunzhong remembered something and then asked: "Who did you just say

An audience is coming?”

Minshu pouted and refused to reply, looking at his toes hard, as if there was a golden flower on it.

Li Yunzhong had no choice but to lose his temper with women, and replied softly: "Okay, what I said just now was an angry word, but your Qing Dynasty did not do authentic things, but for the sake of the brilliance...

…Okay, don’t be angry if you don’t talk about this.”

Minshu muttered, "How dare I get angry?"

Li Yunzhong smiled indifferently, and looked at the little eunuchs who were laughing next to him, and felt embarrassed again.

"Ahem! You guys go down."

"Sister obeys the order."

Minshu twisted her finger and whispered: "The Minister of Revenue is asking for a meeting, will the emperor meet?"

Li Yunzhong said seriously: "See! Why don't you see me!"

"I pay homage to the Emperor!"

"Don't give me a gift, will I have something to report?"

Wang Qinglu took out the account book, raised her hands flat, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the three armies have arrived at the designated location and are ready to set off. There are thirty-five armies on them. The expenses of millions of people this month are equivalent to silver

One million and two million taels.”

Minshu stepped forward and took the account book and presented it to Li Yunzhong.

Li Yunzhong was shocked and asked, "One.2 million taels! Before the fight started, it cost 1.2 million taels? How do you spend money? Just say some big money."

Wang Qinglu replied: "The biggest flower head is military pay, more than 300,000 people, and the monthly cost is one million taels."

Li Yunzhong was stunned and replied, "I remember that when I led the troops, I was always... volunteer soldiers, and there was no need to pay military pay. Damn! One million taels a month, this battle is at least one year, so don't you need to prepare.

Tens of millions of taels, no matter how long it takes, it will be hundreds of millions. Be good, I am sad now."

Listening to these inappropriate sighs, Wang Qinglu was amused and cried, and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Ministry of Revenue is enough to support it, and there is no need to issue additional bonds."

When Li Yunzhong heard this, he immediately refused: "Bonds must be issued, which can increase cohesion. As long as the people who bought the bonds will hope that the great man will win. The more they buy, the more they will try their best."

Wang Qinglu hesitated and replied: "But, the emperor, the annual tax of the Ministry of Revenue has increased to 400,000 taels, which is enough to support the war and expenses. If bonds are issued, the interest will be a large expense. Since we can win the battle, why do we still

Isn’t this a loss-making deal to issue bonds!”

"You! Why do you only know how to calculate a small amount of money?" Li Yunzhong was helpless and remembered the verbal words of the literati and replied: "Why are you just thinking about competing for profit with the people? Your thoughts are very dangerous, ahem, okay?

You just do what I said.”

Listening to the emperor's strange tone, Wang Qinglu agreed awkwardly: "Don't worry, my uncle understand."

Looking at the shocking bills on the account book, Li Yunzhong was in a headache, and the poor man's original surname was revealed again. These were all white money. After defeating Russia, I must make a good quarrel. Isn't that a good slap.
