Gao Yao had an honest and honest face, and tears came as he said that, kneeling on the ground, looking pitifully at Jiajing, pointing at Lin Qingran and making accusation of grief and anger.

The dignified Minister of Revenue at this time lost his majesty as before, as if he had been wronged. If this scene was rumored by someone, it would probably cause all civil and military officials to fall off and get rid of Cheng Shilin's

A big laugh and talk.

Jiajing likes such a minister who ignores his face. Even though he knows that Gao Yao has some of the elements of acting, he still tends to Gao Yao in his heart, and then turns his attention to Lin Qingran.

The reason why they called the two to the palace together today was not only because of the controversy in the case of Mrs. Zhang, but also because of Lin Qingran's impeachment of Gao Yao.

If Lin Qingran failed to come up with something more substantial and just made a big fuss here, he wouldn't mind giving Lin Qingran a little bit of punishment to cut off the young man's aura.

"Master Gao, how dare you ask the Ministry of Revenue how financial revenue and expenditure are compared with previous years since the autumn grain last year?" Lin Qingran knew that impeachment was a double-edged sword, but he no longer turned around. Facing Jiajing's inquiring eyes, he immediately

Asked Gao Yao.

Gao Yao was originally unwilling to argue with Lin Qingran about these issues, but found that Jiajing was quietly looking at them, so he had to respond hard: "The seven southeastern prefectures are flooded, and the emperor loves the people as much as his son, and is exempted from taxes.

The fu is a blessing for the people of the seven prefectures to farm spring this year."

Flatter!

Feng Bao was on duty today and was waiting beside Huang Jin. When he heard Gao Yao's answer, he did not answer Lin Qinran's question positively, and he couldn't help but discuss it in his heart.

However, Jiajing was very helpful. He gently stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. Last year, floods occurred in seven prefectures including Songjiang, and he did issue an order to exempt taxes, so the tax on autumn grain must have been reduced a lot.

"The emperor is kind and merciless, and he exempts the tax on autumn grain in the seven governments." Lin Qingran agreed, but turned the subject and asked: "Prime Minister Yan Maoqing's salt administration in four places, and the salt tax increased to one million yuan. Guangdong Maritime Bureau paid nearly three tariffs.

One hundred thousand taels, can you ask if it is an increase or decrease?"

Yan Song didn't say anything and looked at Gao Yao thoughtfully.

Gao Yao sat more steadily than the previous ministers of the Ministry of Revenue. In fact, it was not that he was much better than the previous ministers of the Ministry of Revenue. Instead, he seemed sleeker than the previous ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, and he strongly supported the emperor to engage in Taoist architecture.

The most important thing is that the latter is that he never complained or slightly blocked what the emperor wanted to do, like a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but carefully distributed the silver to the emperor, and even supported the reconstruction of the Wanshou Palace.

The same is true. Gao Yao was highly valued by the emperor. If it weren't for the small fall in ambergris, then the throne of the Minister of Revenue would be as stable as Mount Tai.

Of course, although he is optimistic about Lin Shiran's proficiency in calculating, he does not think that Lin Shiran is capable of defeating Gao Yao now. Gao Yao is undoubtedly the emperor's ideal candidate for the Minister of Revenue. Just this point, it is difficult for him to defeat him even if he takes action.

Too Gao Yao.

"It has indeed increased income compared to previous years!" Gao Yao responded coldly, knowing that the truth could not be concealed, but he did not think that this would be something too unresolved.

Xu Jie looked at Gao Yao unexpectedly. He always thought that after exempting the taxes from the seven Southeast governments, his fiscal revenue had decreased, but he did not expect that it would increase.

"Master Gao, why can't I even give it to the Ministry of Rites and let the Ministry of Rites solve the urgent needs of the vassal?" Lin Qiran seemed to press forward step by step and asked again.

Gao Yao picked up the airs and scolded him directly: "Prince Lin, you are standing and talking without any pain! If you only increase your income, you can spend money without any scruples, so anyone can sit in the position of the Minister of Revenue. Besides, let's talk about it.

, don’t you take a look at how much expenses have been added in these days?"

When he said this, he looked up carefully at Jiajing, and then quickly lowered his head.

Jiajing saw his little movements, but his heart was filled with a thunder. From last year to now, in addition to rebuilding Wanshou Palace, there are three major halls under reconstruction, and many Taoist projects have been added. The money has undoubtedly been spent here.

above.

At this point, he had already made a vague decision in his heart. Gao Yao was not really not good at financial management, but spent all the silver from the Ministry of Revenue on Neiyan and Taoist architecture.

"Finance affairs should not only be based on income, but also on withdrawals. According to the old minister, it is not that Gao Shangshu is not good at managing finances, but that Lin Gonggong did not understand the principles of finances at all!" Xu Jie understood Jiajing's thoughts and added

The emperor had already formed an alliance with Gao Yao and immediately expressed his opinion.

As the saying goes, a senior official will kill people.

Faced with Xu Jie's sudden attack, Lin Xu Ran felt a sense of pressure and chose to give in and said: "Georg Xu, the lesson is that I just want the subordinate to figure out a problem first!"

After all, Jiajing was sitting here, Lin Qingran took the initiative to give in. Even if Xu Jie was determined to attack, he did not dare to block Lin Qingran's mouth. He laughed and said, "The Lin Gong Yin is smart, and Gao Shangshu is the most skilled in finance in the Ming Dynasty.

If you don’t understand something in the future, you can ask Gao Shangshu directly for advice!”

The implication is that Lin Weiran should not have made trouble here.

Lin Qingran smiled on his face, and directly took the old man's words as a wind in his ears. He looked at Gao Yao and asked directly: "Master Gao, can you ask if the Ministry of Revenue could not take out the last 10,000 taels of the Ministry of Revenue last time, or do you think there is no need to take out the Ministry of Revenue.

, please answer positively!”

Gao Yao received the support of Xu Jie, and the emperor clearly understood the reason for the financial difficulties, but he answered with a teacher-like airs: "If they make trouble, the Ministry of Revenue will give them the vassal of the vassal, and then the entire household

The ministry must be hollowed out!”

"You think the Ministry of Revenue does not need to take out this ten thousand taels, so you refuse to allocate funds to the Ministry of Rites. But that's the case?" Lin Qingran continued to ask, looking for a positive answer and questioned.

Gao Yao looked at everyone's eyes and also played the role of a wealthy slave, responding with confidence: "Not bad!"

Yan Song frowned slightly, not understanding why Lin Qiran was obsessed with this issue.

"Your Majesty, I think Gao Shangshu is not only not good at managing finances, but also acts to harm the country and the people. Please punish Gao Yao for his crimes!" Lin Yanran's face turned right, and suddenly Shi Potian knelt down and said.

Yan Song, Xu Jie and others were stunned and didn't understand which Lin Qingran sang.

Gao Yao no longer tolerated himself and accused him in anger: "Boy, what are you talking nonsense?"

Although Jiajing was happy to watch these two ministers fight, when he heard Lin Xuran say this, he also said with a stern face: "Lin Aiqing, don't talk nonsense here!"
