"After the 1.4 million taels of salt tax and silver arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, Yang Bo directly demanded a million in owed wages. In order to pay the Korean royal family's arrears of Lumi, Shaanxi had emptied the bank treasury of the Shaanxi Provincial Administration last year.

The Ge Lao allocated 200,000 taels to Shaanxi, and the nobles in Prince Yu’s Mansion and the capital have been owed Lumi for many years, so Mr. Xu also allocated funds to them all!" Yang Futian knew the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue very well.

, and immediately said it.

That's how it is. The salt tax seems to have increased a lot, but the imperial court's finances are like a hungry desert. Even if one million and four hundred thousand taels are a drop in the bucket, they can always be used easily.

Xiao Jinian listened to these expenses, but couldn't help but say sarcastically: "The person Yan Ge is a treacherous minister, and he also knows how to deduct King Yu's Lu Mi. He Xu Jie can be a good person, so he thought about it so quickly.

I’m going to curry favor with King Yu!”

The reason why these people like to get together is that they can speak freely here, and they can also criticize people or things together, even the chief minister of the dynasty is no exception.

With Xu Jie's various inactions, everyone no longer protected the prime minister, and they were disappointed again and again.

Longchi looked more steady, but frowned and said, "Since the finances are so tight now, why didn't Yan Ne dissuade the emperor and ask the emperor to temporarily delay the construction of the Qianhong Palace?"

"You don't have to think about it! With that pockmarked face, if the emperor had not given him such great favor, he would have been the Minister of Revenue!" Xiao Jinian seemed to have eaten gunpowder,

I was not very angry immediately.

Zhang Wei and others couldn't help but smile bitterly. Now the officialdom not only pays attention to qualifications and background, but also his personal appearance. Like Yan Ne's pockmarked face, he was eliminated into the Hanlin Academy in other periods, and even in the capital, he did not have a place to stay.

But it is impossible to climb to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Lin Qingran expressed his opinion and said: "Brother Xiao, it is true that Shangshu Yan has pockmarks on his face, but he is also an outstanding minister of the Ministry of Revenue. We should not be contemptuous of others because of our appearance. You should also know this.

He can't blame him. The construction of altars and halls has always been the will of the emperor today, and no one can stop him. What would happen if Master Yan advised the emperor to give up the reconstruction of Wanshou Palace?"

Zhang Wei and others sighed helplessly. The current cabinet ministers were summoned to the cabinet by the emperor through the imperial edict, and the removal of them was also a decree, but they all firmly grasped the future of the imperial chiefs.

"I just saw him so indulging in the emperor, but I was never angry!" Xiao Jinian sighed honestly.

Lin Qingran looked at him with a wry smile, and said with great sincerity: "If you really want to pursue it, then do you still have to blame my sister? It was she who presented the Emperor with the Bronze Sword of the Chuang Hong, which led to the Emperor's creation of the Chuang Hong Palace.

What is the idea?"

"It is natural for Hu Niu to receive the treasure to the emperor. How can she blame her for this?" Xiao Jinian shook her head and seemed serious.

Zhang Wei also spoke at this time: "Senior Brother is right, no one can blame this! This is the case with our emperor. If we don't build an altar in the past years, we will build a palace. Even if our senior brother tries every means to generate income for the Ming Dynasty's finances, the finances may still have to be

Going tighter!"

Everyone's hearts were like a mirror. In the past, they could blame Yan Song, but now Yan Song has been resigned for more than a year, so it is no longer possible to blame Yan Song.

More and more people already know that the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's financial difficulties lies in the emperor who was obsessed with Xiu Xuan, the Ming emperor who did not hesitate to spend all the national treasury for the sake of immortality. Their emperor is the root of the Ming Dynasty.

"Come on, let's have a drink first in order to get together again this month!" Yang Futian looked at the atmosphere and immediately raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly.

Wine is a catalyst for aggravating friendship.

Their people are eating and chatting here, mainly talking about current political affairs, so naturally they can't avoid Yang Bo's proposal to suppress Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's military achievements.

Zhou Youqing took a sip of wine, and said to Zhong Tongnian on the table with a rosy face: "You are afraid you don't know. Yang Bo and the big guys have greeted each other one!"

"It seems that the cabinet will not bring back the opinions of the Ministry of War!" Xiao Ji shook his head lightly, looking quite disappointed.

"It's just a pity that Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, two anti-Japanese generals, made great contributions after fighting bloody battles, but the court did not deserve the reward!" Long Chizhong shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhou Youqing put down the wine glass and said a little drunk: "Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou worked for the court so much, just because they were Hu Zongxian's old subordinates, there was no corresponding reward. This matter really made the Ming soldiers feel disappointed! If the soldiers were successful, they should not be rewarded.

, Then who can still work hard? Who is willing to kill the Tartars in the north?"

Everyone also nodded gently, while Xiao Jinian said with emotion: "Actually, Qi Jiguang was fortunately recommended by Tan Lun. He was promoted to Fujian General and hereditary Qianhu last year. Otherwise, he would be like the general of Zhejiang General Ye Tong.

He was dismissed and returned home!"

Zhang Wei and others also nodded deeply. Because of the political struggle, the Ming Dynasty almost lost the mighty general Qi Jiguang.

Ning Jiang is now a member of the Ministry of War. He has just returned from Datong and his skin has been much darker. Although he is not as handsome as he was before, he has a little more military aura.

He didn't say much today, but after hearing Xiao Jinian's words, he interrupted and said, "When it comes to hereditary thousand households, I think the most important thing to change in the current Ming military system is the hereditary officer system! It is because of these military positions

Hereditary, many important positions such as commanders in the world were occupied by these incompetent people, but a group of military households with talents had to be suppressed by a candle!"

"If you dare to move the system of hereditary officers, you will be the first to do it!" Yang Futian has always liked to sing opposites to Ning Jiang, and even said contemptuously.

"Do you think I, a little official, have such power?" Ning Jiang directly gave him an idiot-like look, looking self-aware and authentic.

Lin Weiran found that Wei Shiliang and others were looking at him one after another, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The royal family, the grace of Wen Xu, and the title of Wu Shi, these systems involve the interests of all parties, even Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the dynasty.

I dare not easily touch the interests of these people!"

In fact, it is not only the hereditary of the Zhu family members, but also the hereditary of the civil servants, the grace of the civil servants, and the grace of the civil servants is considered a hereditary type, and these things are easily touched.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by foreign races was not the outside world, but the inside had already become rotten. It was just that it wanted to completely change these things. Not to mention that officials like Xu Jie who were in harmony with the world would never touch them.

In fact, Xu Jie does not have the ability to touch him.

Everyone nodded silently, knowing that they wanted to change the Ming Dynasty with many problems, but there was still a long way to go, and their resistance was like mountains.

When the drinks were almost the same, Zhou Youqing was drunk on the table, and everyone dispersed one after another.
