It was until early morning.

The cold winter is completely turned into a turbulent city that has been flying snow all over the sky.

With the wind and snow, carriages were also walking on the streets in the wind and snow, heading towards the Meridian Gate of the Palace.

In the Daheng Dynasty, court discussions are undoubtedly a familiar and unfamiliar term for civil and military officials.

Only a few months after the establishment of Daheng, it was a rare war in history. The emperor personally led his troops to fight for more than a year before returning to the capital.

In addition, the emperor's behavior is well known.

In the past Ming Dynasty, the emperor's will was not allowed to be detained without passing the cabinet and court.

But now, the emperor issued an order and almost never passed through the court. Even most of the matters have been given, and the following things have been done. Only when the emperor has finished the center of the court can we know it later.

In addition, many places under the jurisdiction of the court, which were originally the center of the world and determined the direction of the world, became a dispensable existence to some extent under the ignorance of the emperor.

Today's court discussion, with the sudden big scene yesterday, outside the Meridian Gate, carriages came and the atmosphere was obviously a bit strange after the ministers gathered.

In fact, although there were countless court officials following the rebellion during the rebellion, the influence of the court center was actually the least.

Replacement and promotion are enough to easily solve the vacancies of officials due to court officials following the rebellion.

Therefore, after the emperor returned to the capital and determined the plan to fill the government, the government center quickly returned to normal.

Therefore, in today's court discussion, many new faces appeared on the side of the civil servants who participated in the court discussion for the first time.

Some days ago, they were still leading troops in the army, but now they have changed into official robes. Some officials from various local provinces have entered the court for the first time or again.

But without exception, at this moment, the wind and snow are like a slump in pressure.

Without war, this big fight will definitely be a big deal. The assessment has not yet begun, and the officials of local prefectures and counties have not yet filled the vacancy. What is the emperor going to do...

In fact, it is easy to guess.

For some people, this court discussion is destined to be a court discussion, but a trial!

As soon as the time arrived, the city gate slowly opened in the snow.

The bell sounded really on the city tower.

At this moment, in the eyes of many court officials, this road to the center of government affairs and power seems to have become a path to hell.

Without retreating, unable to resist, he can only wait for the final judgment to come in affliction.

With snow covered, the officials slowly moved forward, leaving two chaotic steps on the snow.

On both sides of the team are soldiers of the imperial camp standing in armor and holding sharp edges.

The fire flashed in the wind and snow, and except for the creaking sound of stepping on the snow, everyone was silent. Not long ago, they disappeared completely due to the boiling excitement of the sect and the energies.

Chengtian Palace in the darkness seemed like a giant beast, crawling in the darkness, and its bloody fangs had already opened, as if they were about to devour everything.

The officials' expressions became more and more serious. After the team lined up, they were waiting for the will of the court in the wind and snow.

The emperor had already arrived in the hall. On the dragon throne, there were high seats of the emperor. Several eunuchs stood on one side with pallets in their hands. At this time, the emperor was flipping through the tax and expenditure account books counted by the inner court with great interest.

"Your Majesty, all the officials are already in the marquis outside the hall."

Wang Wu whispered to remind him, but the emperor still seemed to have never heard of it. He was still reading this book destined to be engraved in history and became an account book studied and analyzed by countless future generations.

In this way, Wang Wu did not dare to say anything more, stood aside and waited silently.

It was unknown how long it took for the emperor to read the account book and put it on the pallet held by the eunuch beside him.

"Let all officials come in."

The emperor spoke and then sat down with his sleeves.

With the eunuch's shout, the officials who had been stained with white frost finally stepped into the hall.

"Long live my emperor!"

The ministers visited and shouted.

"You are exempt from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers stood up and stood in a row.

But the emperor suddenly smiled brightly: "Don't rush to start the report, I have good news, I want to share it with you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a series of surprised gazes immediately gathered on the emperor who showed a smile. Lai Zongdao and Liu Qiyuan looked at each other, and they were all obviously confused. Did they guess wrongly at the beginning of this?

"A few days ago, Ningbo Maritime Warehouse Department reported that from the establishment of Ningbo Maritime Warehouse Department in August to the beginning of October, in just three months, Ningbo Maritime Warehouse Department's tariff revenue reached nearly 600,000 taels!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court, which had been extremely depressed, was immediately noisy!

To the court officials, they are naturally familiar with Ningbo's Maritime Bureau. After all, the complete overthrow of the sea ban caused a lot of trouble in the court.

Of course, this so-called storm is only limited to the court. After all, when the emperor made a decision, the emperor was personally expeditioned. When their memorial of advice arrived in front of the emperor's case, the decree had already been issued.

When Ningbo Maritime Affairs became a established fact, a group of court officials led by the Minister of Revenue had strongly demanded that Maritime Affairs have been subject to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, but they were also rejected by the emperor.

As a result, the Maritime Bureau naturally broke away from the court's sight.

Who would have thought that this Maritime Warehouse would appear again and it would be like this situation.

Three months, more than 600,000 taels of silver!

This number...

Many court officials who already know about tax revenue also subconsciously compared it with the tax revenue in the first year of Zhaowu.

It's okay if it's not the same. After comparison, the court officials' expressions suddenly became different, either ugly, worried, or frightened...

The expressions of the two cabinet masters seemed extremely solemn.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As they guessed, the emperor was not drunk!

"Congratulations to your Majesty!"

No matter what I thought, there were soon congratulations from the whole court.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The emperor laughed: "In three months, it will reach more than 600,000 taels. I believe that in the next year, in a year, the silver tariffs will probably be as many as millions of taels."

"In this way, the court's taxes will definitely be enough to reach another level!"

As for this, the emperor seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "It is the end of the year, and the taxes in various places must have been counted clearly, right?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the taxes of the court have been calculated clearly, totaling..."

Just as Liu Qiyuan gritted his teeth and spoke, before he finished speaking, the emperor nodded and looked at Wang Wu of the inner court: "What is the tax revenue this year for each town and garrison?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the garrisons have handed over a total of 4.2 million stones of surplus grain. Later, due to the continuous war, they allocated 3.12 million stones of grain."

"There are a total of 7.523,600 taels of silver, 1.32 million stones of wheat, 8.23 ​​million stones of grain, 100,000 silk folded silk, 100,000 feet and 30 minutes of silk, 100,000 feet and 30,000 horses and grass... and the statistics on gold and silver seized in Liaodong were added. There were 520,000 taels of gold, 7.28 million taels of silver, and 1.32 million stones of grain..."

"A total of 3.25 million shi of grain were allocated to disaster relief in various places, 2.53 million taels of silver were allocated to 1.68 million taels of silver for repair in each town, and 530,000 shi were rebuilt to rebuild Liaodong. By now, 2.2 million shi and 2.82 million taels of silver were consumed..."

"There are also to calm the grain prices in various places, and a total of more than 1.36 million taels of silver..."

"In the war, military rations and rewards were provided to each department, not counting the food consumed by each garrison, but totaling 8.68 million stones and more than 1,232 million taels of silver!"

"There are also the two navy divisions of North Korea and the Denlai Jiangnan, and..."

"About statistics, due to this battle this year, the revenue and expenditure have completely lost control, and the treasury is deficit, and most of the tax revenue in the next few years will be used to fill the deficit..."

When the emperor heard this number, he naturally did not have much fluctuation in his expression. He was already familiar with these numbers.

The big part of money and food consumption is naturally this war that lasted for more than a year.

Under the huge internal and external troubles, the war is not just the war between the northern border against the Mongolian and the Later Jin Dynasty. There is almost no army idle, whether it is hundreds of thousands of battalions of soldiers or the garrisons spread all over the country.

The Daheng recorded a total of 1.18 million soldiers and generals. It is conceivable how terrifying it would be to supply such a huge army and carry out a war that lasted for more than a year!

Military rations are transferred as the troops move forward. The distance is still good. If the distance is long, if the grain and grass are transferred to North Korea, people eat horses and chew on the road. There are many places that are not considered a road at all. One hundred stones of grain are actually transported to the front line to supply the army, and less than ten stones are needed.

Just the supply of military rations, the seemingly huge income of money and grain taxes was not enough. At that time, part of them relied on the existence of money shops and merchants, from buying with silver to lending, and then to direct calls in the end. This is also the most important reason why the form of Jiangnan land was controlled from the beginning to controlling the overall situation, and later most of Jiangnan was directly out of control.

Before the previous control of the prosperous land in Jiangnan was completely overturned and rebuilt, it relied on checks and balances in economy and people's livelihood to achieve a barely balance.

With such a large amount of bloodletting in the north, the checks and balances of the people's livelihood economy in Jiangnan were naturally broken in an instant, which naturally led to the complete out of control of Jiangnan.

Moreover, the monthly military pay supply of hundreds of thousands of battalions is also an astronomical figure. Moreover, in this war, nearly 100,000 casualties were killed or injured. According to the regulations, as well as the support for the families of the dead and injured soldiers, the annual taxes were all used for supply, which may not be enough.

In fact, since the war ended and the reward has been completed, the pension has been difficult due to the huge financial deficit.

The tariffs of the Ningbo Maritime Warehouse almost didn't even enter the treasury, so they were thrown into the pit of pensions, and they didn't even catch a bubble.

The emperor was calm, but the ministers were in an uproar in the face of this number.

Just like the conclusion that Da Heng will perish under internal and external troubles!

Who doesn’t know that Daheng’s strong soldiers are invincible and unrivaled!

But this conclusion was still spread throughout the world and became the consensus of the world at that time!

The reason is that almost most people know that Daheng, who inherited the mess of the Ming Dynasty under numerous internal and external troubles, had no ability to maintain the original war in finance.

The original expectation of this war was that Daheng's strong army was invincible, and eventually collapsed under the problem of money and food!

Even though the battle situation was progressing more and more smoothly later, there were still many people with this idea.

Even though the situation of the war has come later, for many people, the biggest doubt is still how Daheng maintained this war.

Now that the data is in front of you, the facts seem to be clear.

What supported this war was never the treasury of the government center, but another military and political system outside the independence and court.

The efficiency of this system, which has been criticized by the world, is obviously far beyond the perception of the world.

All of them are on the frontier and in the war-torn places, but they have to bear the collapse of the sky!

In this comparison, the role of this court...

As such thoughts circulated, the uproar among the ministers continued for a moment, but it became strangely calmed down. An inexplicable depression also enveloped the entire court again.
To be continued...
