Hu Xinlai was shocked and frightened, "King Zhenbei, you... you can't do this. Don't you aspire to the throne? You have to cherish your reputation. If you punish your ministers so cruelly, no one will support you as the emperor."
The new emperor of the Moon Kingdom..."
Baili Hengtian said, "Whether I want to become Dongyue's new emperor or not? It's not your turn to tell me, let alone teach me how to do things.
"I only know that if you cannot pay this debt, not only will you be ruined, but your family will not be able to escape either.
"It's not like you're going to kill the nine tribes, you're going to kill the three tribes, right? Who will sympathize with you as a criminal of corruption? If I eliminate harm for the people, who will think that I have done something wrong?"
Hu Xinlai collapsed in fear and broke into a cold sweat!
God, who will save him this time... No one can protect him anymore...
Baili Hengtian basically wiped out the entire household department.
After Ye Zeng finished writing down all the numbers he remembered, he collapsed completely, dumbfounded.
Ye Xingyue poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
Ye Zeng raised his heavy head, glanced at Ye Xingyue, and then lowered his head.
Ye Zeng took out a thousand-tael silver note from his arms.
"Drink...Ye Zeng, do you still need the money from the Ministry of Finance?"
"Thirty percent?"
Ye Xingyue handed another list to Ye Zeng for review.
"That's all you took?"
Ye Zeng, "I don't dare to hide it, I really only received this! I received the least, but this amount of money is enough for me to buy a big house..."
"Look, these are the people from various places who have submitted memorials asking for money. No matter what the name is, if the national treasury has money, they should still meet their requirements. If you are the household secretary, how do you think the money should be allocated based on the current predicament of the national treasury?
?”
Ye Xingyue took a look at all the accounts written by Ye Xin and said, "You have a good memory. Do you remember all the numbers you have read?"
"I have never dared to spend money. I have always kept it in my arms and dare not leave..."
Ye Zeng did the math, "The Northern Territory consumes a lot of money. Even if all the money is recovered, it can barely last for one year!"
"However, after the New Year, there will be new taxes. As long as God is good and no major disaster occurs, Edongyue's national strength and money will continue to flow..."
"Then let me ask you, based on the current consumption in the North, how long can it last if all these accounts are recovered?"
Ye Zeng, "I don't dare! I don't know why I am so timid..."
"Yes, it can only be 30% at most. This 30% cannot satisfy all localities! In fact, each locality requires the Ministry of Household Affairs to withdraw money every month, but the Ministry of Household Affairs also has no money, so..."
Ye Zeng, "Yes, I have a good memory since I was a child, and I love settling accounts!"
Ye Xingyue nodded, she understood.
"Then why don't you take care of it?"
Ye Xingyue took the banknote, one thousand taels!
Ye Zeng calculated again, "If the accounts are not recovered, according to the current remaining silver in the treasury, even one tael of silver cannot be taken out. It will be dangerous if we take it from the north. But if we can collect those accounts
If you take it back, 30% can be used for funding in various places..."
"Go down! Stay as long as possible and don't wander around. You should understand that you are now a thorn in everyone's side, and they want to kill you quickly.
"But don't worry, someone will be sent to protect you. I promise you, even if you die, your family will benefit! King Zhenbei will never treat people who truly serve the country badly."
Ye Zeng bowed and retired...
Soon, Feng Siyan arrived after hearing the news. He knew that Baili Hengtian used thunderous means to deal with the entire household. If it were His Majesty, he would never use such methods. This is not His Majesty's always benevolent style.
