Hearing this, Gu Bingqian lowered his head and rolled his eyes.

There has never been a court that suppressed bandits and used them as money and food. Without money and food, Qiu Ba in Liaodong could not do his best to quell the rebellion for the court.

Even if there are a lot of confiscations in the future, most of the last ones will fall into the hands of soldiers and officials in the court. The court only gets one or two, and the remaining little things may not be enough for the food and grass needed by the army.

"Come."

Tianqi also knew that what he said just now was all angry words, and it was impossible to send troops first to replenish the money and food required by the army.

"I'm here."

The little eunuch next to him came out.

Tianqi said: "Go and find the Minister of Revenue for me."

The little eunuch bowed and stepped back.

"Give Gu Aiqing a seat." Tianqi knew that Gu Bingqian could not leave for a while, so he asked the little eunuch who was serving him to give Gu Bingqian an embroidery pier.

"Thank you, Master."

Gu Bingqian bowed and bowed to Tianqi, lifted his hem with his hand, and sat on the embroidery pedestal brought by the eunuch.

The warm tea that the palace maids changed into was placed at the hands of the Apocalypse.

Tianqi held it up and put it on his lips and took a sip. He didn't say anything, and sat on the dragon couch and slowly sipped tea.

But Gu Bingqian didn't have this treatment, so he could only sit on the embroidery pier and watch motionlessly.

The Apocalypse did not make anyone tea for Gu Bingqian.

For Gu Bingqian, who caused such trouble, he could give Gu Bingqian a seat for the other party's chief assistant, so he should not think about serving tea.

Li Qiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, worked in the yamen. After receiving an oral order from the eunuch, he immediately went to the palace with the eunuch.

"Me, please see the Lord." Li Qiyuan bowed to Tianqi and bowed to him.

Li Qiyuan, who is already over 60 years old, has gray hair but is in good spirits.

"Give Li Aiqing a seat." Tianqi ordered.

The little eunuch brought the embroidery sill for Li Qiyuan.

Li Qiyuan thanked Tianqi first, and then sat down carefully.

"The person has arrived. Gu Aiqing, tell Li Aiqing in person!" Tianqi handed over the trouble to Gu Bingqian. He picked up the cover bowl and slowly tasted the tea.

Only then did Li Qiyuan realize that his attack was related to Gu Bingqian, so he looked at him sideways.

"Shu Li Shangshu, the emperor has just agreed to send a large army to Xuanda to suppress the rebellion. The money and food required by the army still need to be prepared in advance, so that the army cannot delay the time for the army to set off." Gu Bingqian said to Li Qiyuan directly straight to the point.

Li Qiyuan frowned and said, "Gei Gu, the official remembers that the Ministry of Revenue can't afford to pay for the money and food. The officials in the capital don't know where to raise the salary for the next month."

"Suppressing the rebellion is a major event and cannot be delayed. I also asked Li Shangshu to squeeze in. After the rebellion of Xuanda is quelled, all the proceeds are collected into the Ministry of Revenue to alleviate the tension of the Ministry of Revenue." Gu Bingqian took out the seizure to block Li Qiyuan's mouth.

However, Li Qiyuan has been an official for so many years, but how could he be fooled by the big cake drawn by Gu Bingqian?

He immediately said, "Ge Gu is too embarrassed to be the emperor. Before the Jinzhou victory, the Ministry of Revenue sent a lot of money and grain to Liaodong. Now the officials really can't raise money and grain. Otherwise, they would let the army send troops to quell the rebellion first to seize it as money and grain. The remaining part will be escorted back to Beijing."

With a move to split the mane of the wild horse, he skillfully threw the problem back to Gu Bingqian.

Gu Bingqian had no choice but to look at the Apocalypse sitting on the dragon couch with help.

It was also what Tianqi wanted to see to quell the Xuanda rebellion, so at this time he knew that he had to speak without saying anything, so he said to Li Qiyuan: "Li Aiqing, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for so long, and you can try to squeeze together, at least you must ensure that the army enters Xuanda to quell the rebellion normally."

"It is not that the emperor does not want to raise money and food to quell the rebellion. He really can't get money and food. If the emperor thinks that anyone can take money and food, I am willing to give up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Li Qiyuan said almost forcing the palace.

Apocalypse frowned.

Of course, Li Qiyuan really removed the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue just because he couldn't take out the money and grain. He just didn't expect that the Ministry of Revenue was really in such a difficult situation and could not even bring out the money and grain to suppress the rebellion.

Gu Bingqian, who was standing beside him, said at this time: "The Ministry of Revenue cannot provide the money and food to suppress the rebellion, and it is possible that the Ministry of Revenue has no money and food, so he will let Xuanda be occupied by the thieves."

"The officials naturally don't want to see the thieves occupy Xuanda, but it's really hard to solve the problem of money and food by relying solely on the Ministry of Revenue. Even if the salary is temporarily increased, it's too late." Li Qiyuan, who spoke to Gu Bingqi, secretly glanced at Tianqi.

"The Ministry of Revenue cannot solve it, so I will find other ways to solve it. In short, the money and food needed to suppress the rebellion must be solved." Gu Bingqian said with confidence.

Li Qiyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "If you want to solve the problem of money and food, there is no way out."

As he said that, he looked at Apocalypse.

"What's the solution?" Gu Bingqian asked.

Li Qiyuan looked at Tianqi and said, "I would like to ask the emperor to open the treasury and temporarily lend it to the Ministry of Revenue to deliver the money and food needed to suppress the rebellion."

The Avalokitestrike, who was drinking tea and watching the two of them quarreled, did not expect that the fire suddenly burned to him.

"Master, since the Ministry of Revenue cannot provide money and food, it can only borrow some money and food with the treasury." Gu Bingqian looked at Tianqi with his eyes wide open.

Seeing the appearance of the two important officials in the court in front of him, Tianqi looked dark and said, "I don't have much treasury anymore. The money and food needed to suppress the rebellion army should be solved by the Ministry of Revenue."

The treasury is his own thing

The little eunuch bowed to Tianqi, bowed and slowly retreated.

"What do you think of Liu Thief in Datong?" Tianqi suddenly asked Wei Zhongxian again.

Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I feel that the Liu thief in Datong is far less threatening than the slave thief in Liaodong. Even the slave thief was defeated by our Ming Dynasty. It will be a matter of time before the court can make an effort to wipe out the Liu thief."

"The big companion said it was in my heart." Tianqi smiled and said, "There are so many slave thieves in Liaodong, but they were defeated by the Ming Dynasty in the end. Although Liu thief did not see the momentum, he finally took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's failure to take action."

"What the emperor said is very true." Wei Zhongxian smiled and echoed, and secretly wiped the sweat from his palms from his clothes.

The great victory in Jinzhou has always been hiding the matter from the palace.

As of today, the middle and lower-level officials of Qihe court really thought that the Ming army defeated a large army of 100,000 slave thieves under the city of Jinzhou. Now even those who know this lie dare not expose it. Once it is exposed, I don’t know how many people will lose their heads.

It is not impossible to cause turmoil in the Liaodong army.

Tianqi took a sip of tea and continued, "If you can recruit Liu thief, it is best to let him go to Liaodong to fight the slave thief. If you can't, then wait until the situation in Liaodong becomes beneficial to the Ming Dynasty before dealing with the thief."

"It's all my fault that I didn't know the person at that time. If I had known this man's ambitions, I should have taken people to investigate this man's shop in the capital and arrested all the thieves." Wei Zhongxian said righteously.
