Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth, there is evidence for advance and retreat
"I have a plan to solve this knot in my opinion."
I don't know how long the unbearable silence lasted. Empress Wu and Li Xian were still in a stalemate without giving in. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore. But when the staff member Liu Yizhi emerged from behind the civil servants' queue, he walked quickly to the hall and spoke loudly.
Saying.
"Oh? What good advice does Liu Aiqing have? Let's talk about it with me."
Li Xian's tough attitude was obviously beyond the expectations of Emperor Wu. Originally, if Li Xian wanted to be the crown prince in his plan, he would definitely not dare to fight against him in court. He could use the matter of building a tomb to suppress it.
Li Xian was a fight, but he never expected that Li Xian would dare to have a strong point in court. After miscalculation, the situation of stalemate between each other has become. No matter how wise the Empress of Martial Arts is, she cannot find a way to compromise with each other under such circumstances.
Just when he was anxious, Liu Yizhi suddenly appeared. Empress Wu would not miss such an opportunity to solve the problem, so he immediately intercepted and asked questions.
"I have reported to the Empress, I think it may be difficult to find a complete plan, but the tomb of the 'respecting emperor' must be repaired. If we can use profit to repay the people we are seeking, it seems that we can avoid disturbing the people. I would like to ask the Empress to make a clear decision."
The main purpose of Liu Yizhi's disconnection at this time was to understand the difficulties of the Empress Wu. As for the solution, I really didn't think about it carefully. What I said was nothing more than ordinary means, and there was nothing surprising.
Children's opinion! Li Xian has three lifetimes of memory and is very rich in government affairs. He knows that Liu Yizhi's words are just talking about Hu Chai. He can't use them to solve practical problems at all. There is nothing else, so he can use them to benefit.
It is certainly feasible to compensate the losses of the people who are strong, but the question is how much profit it takes to satisfy the people who are being conquered. Obviously, if the harvest of tens of thousands of people who are strong in the year is to be compensated, the number of words is really amazing.
Not to mention that the construction of the tomb would cost the boss a lot of money. As for the actual situation of the treasury, how could it withstand Liu Yizhi's trouble? But, even though he understood, Li Xian did not intend to make any comments.
He did not intend to continue to stalemate with Empress Wu, so he retreated to the side, which ended the conflict head-on with Empress Wu.
"Well, Liu Aiqing's proposal is quite good. I wonder what you all think?"
Empress Wu naturally saw the problem of Liu Yizhi's words. However, with the intention of ending the conflict, Empress Wu did not point out the matter, but looked around the ministers in the hall and asked with a gentle voice.
"Qi Ming, I have something unknown to me. I would like to ask Liu Jiashizhong what is the benefit of this profit, and where should it come from?"
Officials who can get to the level of court officials are not fools. Most of them can see the loopholes in Liu Yi's words, but everyone has just come back to their senses from the strong resistance between Wu Empress and Li Xian, so everyone has no choice but to do so.
I didn't want to stand up at this time and even the five prime ministers pretended to be mute. However, Pei Yan, the new left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, obviously did not have this blessing - it was not that Pei Yan didn't want to remain silent, but that he could not,
It is probably because the Minister of Revenue was Yan Liben who had been bombed out of the palace, but in fact, the person in charge of the Ministry of Revenue was Pei Yan. The Ministry of Revenue should have been in charge of the treasury entry and exit of the state treasury. If it were to be controlled by Liu Yi, it would be
After doing this, the Ministry of Revenue was poured out all the foundation and it was not enough to use it. As a last resort, Pei Yan had to stand up and sing a counter-tune.
"this……"
Although Liu Yizhi has been ranked in the fifth rank, he actually has no experience in his previous posts. It is entirely due to the superiority of the martial arts queen. His literary talent is outstanding, but in practice, he is not good at it. After Pei Yan asked this, he immediately
I was stunned and couldn't tell the reason for a while.
"Pei Aiqing, how much is the treasury now? If it is calculated based on the recruitment of 100,000 civilians, and after the tax is exempted for two years, how much compensation will be required for each household? Can the treasury be used?"
After the Helan Min case, Empress Wu now has few people who can rely on in the court. Previously, Ming Chongyan was hit by his ministers and was covered in all his head. Now he will face Liu Yizhi when he sees him.
With the same fate, Empress Wu couldn't hold on anymore and had to say something, which could barely relieve Liu Yizhi's suffering.
"I reported to the Empress, the year before yesterday, the severe drought in Guanzhong was severe, and more than 40 states lost their harvest. The immigration cost was quite large, so the surplus accumulated over the years was completely lost. Last year, Hebei was in trouble, and the thirty-two states suffered a lot of disasters. Fortunately, the southern states still suffered from disasters.
In the good times, this is barely enough to settle. Now the surplus of the court is only 353,212. After deducting the salary of officials from each department, the summer grain can be used before it is stored.
Yu Guaner, if the taxation of 100,000 people is calculated, even if the tax is exempted for two years, each person will need to make up for seven guan to ensure that each family will not go hungry next year. In this way, the total amount of vacancies is as high as fifty.
Sixty-five thousand guan. If you want to build a tomb, the total amount of guarantor will exceed one million guan. I am really unable to collect it. I would like to ask the Empress to forgive me." Pei Yan was meticulous by nature, even if he faced it.
The Martial Empress, who has always been strong, never had any fear. She kept her fingers and reported the account calmly.
"boom……"
I really didn't know if I didn't listen. I was shocked when I heard it. The civil and military officials in the court did not expect that the treasury now had dried up to such a field. For a moment, the buzzing and controversial voices started to make a big splash.
"It's hard for Pei Aiqing. I know that this is quite difficult. But Your Majesty's intention has been decided. No matter how difficult it is, it must be done. This is better. From now on, everyone in the inner palace will spend all the money from this palace.
The remaining amount is used for compensation. In addition, the internal treasury allocates another 300,000 jin for the purpose of building the turret. With these two items, the balance may be somewhat different. Let me let the palace try again.
"Empress Wu did not know much about the situation of the treasury. When he heard Pei Yan say this, his head immediately felt a little hurt. He didn't want to be so extravagant in Jianling, but she had previously suppressed the matter of Jianling
Li Xian couldn't express the intention of not building at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth and think of ways to raise money from the inner treasury.
"The queen is wise, I have no objection."
But Pei Yan was relieved not to withdraw the money from the treasury and would not argue with Empress Wu any more. He quickly responded and then stepped aside.
Let's try something else? Just a joke. If you calculate it like this, the shortage is still more than 600,000 yuan. This is not a small amount, and it is not so easy to make up for. The old man's inner treasury is only more than 300,000 yuan left
, I gave it all, but when I looked back, all the people in the inner palace drank the northwest wind? Li Xian didn't believe that Empress Wu could raise so much money, so he was very likely to play the trick of playing white slips, so he was unwilling to take it.
This is obviously a hot potato work. Although after the previous incident, Empress Wu may not dare to put such a garbage work into her arms. She is not afraid of ten thousand, but she is afraid that if Li Xian doesn't want to fall into it again.
In the dilemma of being passively beaten, he quietly sent a secret code to the lawsuit against the Ministry of Justice.
"The Empress is very wise and kind, and is a rare great virtue since ancient times. I am deeply impressed by it. Now that the matter has been decided, there should be a safe person in charge. Liu Jiazhong can have such wonderful thoughts.
I think there must be a constitution in mind. I suggest that Liu Jiashu will take charge of the overall situation, so that there will be no mistakes in this matter. I also ask the Queen Mother to make a decision." He Long is an old man from the Ying Prince's Mansion and has always been Li Xian's
The head of horses was right. When Li Xian gave a secret code, he immediately stood up knowingly. He first took a big shot of Wuhou, and then changed the subject and took the matter of building a mausoleum to Liu Yizhi without hesitation.
On the head.
"The Empress is wise, and I think why the doctor said so well, with Liu Jiazhong's talent, he will definitely live up to the heavy trust of Your Majesty and the Empress."
"Empress, I think this is a big deal, and it is impossible for Liu to do anything. I hope the empress will make a clear decision."
"Qi Niang, my ministers and others all think that Liu Jiazhong is a steady person and has extraordinary talent, so he is indeed responsible for such an important task."
...
As soon as He Long spoke, Lin Mingdu and others did not dare to neglect them. They stood up one after another and agreed loudly. Immediately, the original prince and the officials also started to coax, and the court discussion was one-sided.
shape.
"Liu Aiqing, all the officials said that you are wise and capable, can you dare to take responsibility for this?"
Empress Wu did not expect that Li Xian's counterattack would come so quickly and so fiercely. For a moment, her face became a little uncomfortable, and she still couldn't get angry. She was in a state of discomfort and let the ministers go.
After a lot of trouble, he raised his hand and pressed everyone down. He looked at Liu Yizhi, who was a little confused, and asked in a plain tone.
"I am not good at it... I am not good at it."
Liu Yizhi is not stupid, how could he not know that this man who supervised the tomb was a very hot potato. He didn't want to take over from the bottom of his heart. Just as he was thinking of ruling, he saw that Empress Wu's sharp eyes were already sweeping.
After coming over, he was shocked, and he changed his words in a hurry, and agreed reluctantly.
"It's so good. I believe that Liu Aiqing will never let His Majesty down." As soon as Liu Yizhi finished speaking, Empress Wu immediately made a statement and finalized the matter. Then, she looked at Li Jingxuan, the Minister of Rites, and pondered for a moment.
: "Li Aiqing, I led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to preside over the memorial service. Do you have any questions?"
"Old minister obeys the order!"
The memorial service was originally an activity of the Ministry of Rites. Li Jingxuan naturally had no reason to shirk it, and could only respectfully respond to the promise.
"It's so great, let's discuss this today. Li Aiqing please do whatever he wants."
Empress Wu obviously lost the enthusiasm for continuing to discuss matters. After leaving a scene, she led a group of eunuchs to the back hall.
Although Empress Wu left, the ministers could not leave. There was nothing else. The memorial service and even guarding must start as soon as possible. There was no time for the court officials to go home and rest. Of course, we had to come up with a charter first.
OK, fortunately, Li Jingxuan is a man of this kind, so he is not afraid of any mistakes. However, this matter is easy to say, but it is very complicated to do. After Li Jingxuan and Li Xian asked for instructions, they immediately
So I quickly dispatched it, and the huge hall was filled with chaos...
