Volume 10 Chapter 505
Chapter 505
Tang Yin stared at Zhang Zhe and read the full text without saying a word for a long time. He often couldn't help but wonder whether Zhang Zhe was born to be against him. He would say one thing when he said one thing, and he would say one thing when he said two things.
After pondering for a long time, he asked: "Master Zhang, are you going to tell me again that there is no money in the treasury?"
"How is that possible?!" Without waiting for Zhang Zhe to speak, Zhang Xin stood up and answered: "In the war against Mo, our treasury did not spend any money at all. This war not only did not consume money, but also made enough gold and silver. Even if some money is spent on building the palace and the minister's residence, it is not enough to spend all the money in the treasury. I would like to ask Lord Zhang, where did all the money in the treasury come from or is it really all spent? Into someone’s own pocket?”
Zhang Zhe sneered and said, "The money in the treasury is naturally still in the treasury."
"Then why..."
"My Dafeng army has more than one million troops and hundreds of thousands of horses. How can we support so many horses for free? Food and grass cost money, military supplies and armaments cost money, and military pay also costs money. If we take out all the money in the treasury now, Kong, who will support this million-strong army? Master Zhang?"
Zhang Xin was speechless by Zhang Zhe and stepped back with an ugly expression. Zhang Zhe raised his head and looked at Tang Yin and said: "If the king wants to go on a foreign expedition and raise money from the treasury, the humble ministers will dig up three feet of the ground and give enough gold and silver to the king. If it is just to provide household expenses for the ministers, If you ask for money from the treasury, I'm sorry, but I can't even get a single copper plate out of it."
Tang Yin was almost angry, and asked: "Are you the king, or am I the king? I promised you that I would help you buy your own household when the capital is moved to Zhenjiang. Does Mr. Zhang want me to break my promise in public? "
"Your Majesty's promise is your own problem. You cannot drain the treasury and leave endless troubles just because of your Majesty's promise." When it comes to issues of principle, Zhang Zhe displayed the spirit of an iron rooster and never gave in.
Zhang Zhe's toughness made Tang Yin's face turn red. He was the king and his words had been spoken out loud. Even if they were wrong, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get it right. Seeing that Tang Yin was riding a tiger and was in trouble, Guan Yuanji hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhang said is not unreasonable. The money of the national treasury should not be wasted on such insignificant things. However, even if the king has made a promise, he must abide by it. , it’s better to make a compromise.”
"What kind of compromise?"
"Master Zhang is afraid that your lords and generals will be unrestrained when purchasing household items. If everyone is like this, the total expenses will really become astronomical figures. No matter how abundant the money in the treasury is, it will not be enough. Your Majesty can decide The next limit stipulates the spending limit for officials of each grade. In this way, the king will fulfill his promise and it will not be too difficult for Mr. Zhang. It will kill two birds with one stone," Guan Yuan Ji Youyou said.
After hearing what he said, Tang Yin nodded his head, smiled while stroking his hands, and nodded secretly at the same time. At the critical moment, he had to rely on Yuan Ji, who was both tactful and flexible, and was very good at life!
He looked at Zhang Zhe with a smile and asked, "Master Zhang, do you think the Prime Minister's words are feasible?"
Zhang Zhe and Guan Yuanji are similar in age and have similar grades, but from the bottom of his heart, he still respects Guan Yuanji. He thought for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "But the quota for all officials must be determined by the ministers!"
Tang Yin just didn't want to break his promise in public. As for the specific details, he didn't care. He nodded and said, "Yes! Mr. Zhang will have full decision on this matter!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Zhe raised his hands and gave a deep salute to Tang Yin. The word "wise" came out of his mouth, which made Tang Yin feel harsh no matter how hard he heard it.
The matter of helping the ministers settle their belongings came to an end under Guan Yuanji's adjustment. After everyone left one after another, Tang Yin took several wives, guided by Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, to visit various parts of the palace, which was considered familiar. Take a look at the environment of the palace.
The new palace was built according to the pattern of the Feng Palace, so it was not unfamiliar to Tang Yin, Wu Mei and others who had just moved in. They only had a rough walk around and understood the overall structure of the palace.
After dividing the residences of the ladies and settling them properly, Tang Yin left the palace and went to the palace to see what the situation was like there.
Yin Zhun is still very satisfied with the new palace. It is larger than the palace in Yancheng, and the decoration inside is more luxurious and can better reflect the majesty and style of the royal family. Of course, if he had been to Tang Yin's palace, he might not Don’t think so anymore.
Seeing Tang Yin coming, Yin Zhen went to greet him with a smile on his face. He even held Tang Yin's hand intimately and said, "I feel a little sorry that Aiqing gave up Prince Mo's palace to me again! I heard that Aiqing's palace is It was just built in a hurry, so it must be very rough inside? "
Hearing this, Tang Yin was a little dumbfounded. Is Yin Zhun showing off to himself or showing off? Is he so excited that he has forgotten his current identity? Tang Yin smiled lightly and said lightly: "Wei Chen has never been very picky about where he lives."
"Yes, yes, yes! Aiqing was like this when we were in Yancheng." Yin Zhun suddenly remembered something and asked: "I heard that an assassin attacked Aiqing when she entered Zhenjiang. Aiqing was not injured?"
"It's just an assassin, nothing to worry about, but I still thank you for your concern," Tang Yin said with a smile.
"Mo Ren really does not know good from evil. However, when my guard of honor entered the city, they did not see the assassin. The people of Zhenjiang were also very enthusiastic about my arrival!"
This is true. It is a rare opportunity to witness the emperor's grace with his own eyes. The Mo people who were watching were almost in a semi-crazy state. At the scene, there were many people kneeling and kowtowing, crying with joy, and the voices of shouting long live were overwhelming. Pass a wave.
The scene at that time made Yin Chen extremely excited. Even now, his mood has not calmed down for a long time.
However, he just asked about Tang Yin's assassination, and then went on to talk about how he was welcomed by the people. The implication was that in Zhenjiang, he was loved by the people far more than Tang Yin, the Wind King.
But he seems to have forgotten one thing. Being loved by the people does not mean that he controls the real power. The power of Zhenjiang and even the entire Feng Kingdom is still firmly in Tang Yin's hands.
Looking at Yin Zhun who was so proud of himself because he was inferior to him, Tang Yin wanted to cut open his head to see what was going on in his pig brain.
Is it a good thing that this happens when you are under the control of others? Are you not afraid of getting killed at all? Maybe it's because he has lived in the deep palace for too long, and even his thinking is different from that of normal people.
Tang Yin secretly shook his head, but he hoped that Yin Zhun could continue to be so naive, or stupid. For him, this was a good thing.
He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and all the people in the world are His Majesty's subjects. Naturally, the people love Your Majesty more than anything else."
Yin Zhun laughed at his words, and even thought that his relationship with Tang Yin would be reversed in the future, and that he would no longer be controlled by him. After all, this was Zhenjiang, Mo Di, not Yancheng of Feng Country.
Seeing that Yin Zhun was so happy today, Tang Yin stopped trying to spoil his fun and let him entertain himself for a while! Soon, Tang Yin said goodbye to Yin Zhun, and then asked Asan and Asi and the guards to drive the carriage he had prepared in advance into the palace and go to Yin Rou's residence.
The carriage contained not only daily necessities, but also luxurious items such as gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins. He could ignore Yin Zhun, but he was reluctant to let Yin Rou suffer any injustice.
Yin Rou already brought a lot of items from Yancheng, and now Tang Yin has sent several carriages. The large boxes that were unloaded are almost filling the Yonghe Palace where she lives.
Yin Rou, who was wearing a white princess dress, was like a white butterfly, constantly shuttling in the courtyard, looking through the items in the box from time to time, with a coquettish tone in her voice, but unable to hide the smile in her eyes, she said to Tang Yin: "Yin, You sent too many things, where can I put them here?"
Seeing Yin Rou walking around happily, with a flushed face and a little sweat on her forehead, he walked forward, pulled her and said softly: "If you can't put it down, put it away. When can you use it?" take it out."
"What a waste..."
"As long as you like it, it's not a waste." Feeling that Yin Rou was going to look through other boxes again, Tang Yin held her in his arms with a smile and did not let her leave. "Have a rest, you've sweated so much, be careful of catching a cold."
She could feel Tang Yin's love for her, and the smile on Yin Rou's face became even stronger. She asked curiously: "Who lived in this Yonghe Palace before?"
"It should be Shao Fang's mother!"
"Where is she now?" Yin Rou continued to ask.
"Well, I don't know either." Tang Yin didn't lie. He couldn't take care of everything. As for where he had placed the female relatives in King Mo's palace and Shao Fang's heirs, these were all handled by Qiu Zhen, and he didn't know the specific situation.
"Yin, you didn't kill her?" Yin Rou turned back and looked at Tang Yin with her bright and dazzling eyes.
"I promised Shao Fang back then that I would not harm his family, so they will all be fine." It should be fine? ! Tang Yin was sure, but he was not sure in his heart.
Qiu Zhen has always been cruel and ruthless. Whether he has properly arranged Shao Fang's family members or directly killed them will never cause further trouble. Even Tang Yin cannot guarantee this.
"This is the best. I will feel at ease living here in the future." Yin Rou leaned into Tang Yin's arms and let out a long sigh.
Tang Yin was stunned and said, "If Rou'er doesn't like it here, you can live in my palace." He suddenly remembered that many corpses were found in Prince Mo's palace before. He himself didn't believe in the ghost Yixiao, but he was a little worried. Yin Rou.
