Tianqi asked casually.

However, Ye Xianggao bowed and said, "Report to the Master, I have arranged for the Ministry of Revenue to prepare food and wages for disaster relief, but it is still far from enough. Therefore, I hope that the Master can allocate a part from the internal treasury and send it to various places for disaster relief."

After saying that, he looked at Apocalypse.

The purpose of his visit to the saint this time was to ask for money and food from the inner warehouse to enrich the Ministry of Revenue.

"The Ministry of Revenue hasn't even paid for disaster relief?" Tianqi frowned.

The inner treasury is his own small treasury. If he gives it to the outer court, it is like a meat bun to beat a dog, and you don’t expect to come back.

Ye Xianggao said: "In recent years, there have been disasters everywhere. The taxes and silver collected by the Ministry of Revenue are not as good as in previous years. Because of the slave thieves, Liaodong had to allocate a large amount of money and grain from the Ministry of Revenue to resist slave thieves. Now, many places

All the earth dragons have turned over, and the taxes and silver that can be collected this year will be even less."

"Then let the Ministry of Revenue find a solution. I remember that Zhu Guozhen, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, took over the Ministry of Revenue, and he would raise money and grain to help the victims." Tianqi said.

After saying that, he stretched out his hand aside.

The little eunuch standing beside him hurriedly delivered the teacup to Apocalypse.

Ye Xianggao understood that it was not so easy to pay money from the warehouse, so he immediately said: "Master, disaster relief is urgent. I am afraid that the victims will not see the money and food for disaster relief. After a long time, they will easily be bewitched and do unwise.

For the sake of the disaster victims in the world and the stability of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor also asked the internal treasury to help the victims."

"I have said that if I ask the Ministry of Revenue to raise money and grain, is it possible that without me, the cabinet's Ministry of Revenue can't do anything?" Tianqi's face sank and the cover bowl in his hand was placed on the imperial desk.

"I am guilty."

Ye Xianggao knelt down toward the Tianqi.

Han Gong next to him also knelt on the ground.

"You two beloved ministers just step back if you have nothing to do! I'm tired." Tianqi waved his hand and signaled Ye Xianggao and Han Dong to retreat.

The savings in the inner treasury have been left with little trouble. More importantly, the outer treasury has no credibility on it. Since the inner treasury asked for money, it always said that it would make up for it, but in the past, it was like this.

He hasn't seen him make up for it for many years.

"Please transfer the silver from the inner treasury to help the victims." Ye Xianggao knelt down and did not rise up, his forehead even put on the blanket on the ground.

Han Du also acted the same way.

Seeing this, Tianqi understood that he was playing a rogue and forced him to take out the money from the inner treasury to provide disaster relief.

Although I was dissatisfied, I knew that I could not let a prime minister and a secondary assistant kneel like this in the Qianqing Palace.

He suppressed his displeasure and said, "Both dear friends, please get up. I will take out 30,000 taels from the inner treasury to provide relief to the victims."

"Master, Luanzhou is the most severely affected area this time. In addition, many places in Shandong have also been affected. Thirty thousand taels are not enough to help the victims in so many places." Ye Xianggao raised his head and looked at Tianqi.

The meaning is very clear. Thirty thousand taels are not enough, and the treasury has to take out more money.

"Isn't there a Ministry of Revenue? If all the disaster relief money and grain are out of my inner treasury, what else should the Ministry of Revenue do?" Tianqi showed dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, the people who were not satisfied with 30,000 taels of silver.

Ye Xianggao said: "I originally wanted to intercept the next batch of money and grain sent to Liaodong to provide relief to the victims first, but when I thought that Shanhaiguan was also suffering from the disaster, the old slave would probably take this opportunity to send troops, so I let me go.

The Ministry of Revenue sent the money and grain sent to Liaodong in advance."

"What do you mean is that the Ministry of Revenue has given the money and grain from Liaodong, and the disaster relief money and grain from other places in the Ming Dynasty must be released in my inner treasury?" Tianqi's face darkened.

The cabinet used the money in his treasury as the Ministry of Revenue.

Ye Xianggao said: "The situation this year is really special. If there were no such natural disaster that was widely involved, there would be no need to use the lord of the emperor."

"No need to explain, I don't want to hear it. I just want my inner treasury to pay how much money I want my inner treasury to pay?" Tianqi understood that 30,000 taels of silver could not be used to the chief minister of the cabinet.

"Three hundred thousand taels." Ye Xianggao looked up at the Apocalypse.

Bang!

Tianqi's hand that was placed on the imperial desk shook and knocked over the teacup at hand.

When the little eunuch who was serving him next to him saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped the teacup up and wiped the water stains on the table with his cuffs.

"Go aside." Tianqi pushed the little eunuch in anger.

The little eunuch was so scared that he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Tianqi looked at Ye Xianggao with a ugly face and said, "The inner treasury took out at most 100,000 taels. No matter how much I have, I will not have it. The cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue will find a way to find the insufficient part."

He believed that the Ministry of Revenue did not have much money and food, but he did not believe that he could not even take out the money and food to help the victims.

"I obey the order." Ye Xianggao understood the principle of stopping when he saw the good.

Knowing that if you are forced to continue, you will only force the emperor to be anxious. At that time, you may not even have 100,000 taels of silver, so you can only let the Ministry of Revenue bear the money and food for disaster relief alone.

"Okay, you have nothing to do, just leave!"

The inner treasury lost 100,000 taels, Tianqi was in a bad mood and didn't want to look at the two people in front of him again.

"I have something to do to report it." At this time, Han Du suddenly said.

Tianqi frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What else is there? I don't have any money to give to you again."

"What I want to talk about is the tiger flag." Han Du said, "The tiger flag is named Daming Business, but secretly raises private soldiers and sends troops to Tumote's troops privately to destroy the stability of our Daming border. Such wolf ambitions

Those of you, please ask the emperor to issue an order to punish him as soon as possible.”

Seeing that it wasn't for money, Tianqi's face cleared a little and said, "Hasn't Datong and Xuanfu expanded the border troops? When the new recruits of the border troops are trained, it will not be too late to attack the tiger flag at that time."

As the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I wish I could get rid of the existence of the Tiger Flag that threatened the Ming Dynasty. But I also knew that the Tiger Flag could conquer the Tumote tribe, but I still had some strength, unlike Xu Hongru who rebelled back then.

The local troops can calm down just by relying on the local army.

"I think I can't wait any longer," said Han Yu. "Now the court is everywhere to provide disaster relief, and there is a lack of available money and grain. The Tiger Flag started with merchants. Eliminating the Tiger Flag can alleviate the lack of money and grain in the Ministry of Revenue."

Hearing this, Apocalypse showed contemplation.

He has heard of the wealthy flag with the character "Tiger" even in the palace.

So we should consider whether to mobilize the imperial army to use troops against the tiger flag according to Han Yu's request to solve the dilemma of the court's lack of money and food.

"What do you think, Ye Aiqing?" Tianqi did not immediately agree to Han Du's request, but asked Ye Xianggao.

Ye Xianggao said: "I thought it was possible to use troops against the tiger flag, but relying solely on the troops of Datong and Xuanfu may not be enough. After all, the expansion of the border recruit camps in these two places is too short and not useful."
