Tang Yin stared at Zhang Zhe and said nothing for a long time. He often couldn't help but wonder whether Zhang Zhe was born to be against him. If he said one thing, he would say two things, and if he said two things, he would just say one thing.
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?!" Before Zhang Zhe could speak, Zhang Xin stood up and answered: "In the war against Mo, our treasury did not spend any money at all. Not only did this war not consume any money, but it 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 the money in the treasury go? Is it really all spent or is it?
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 cost money, armaments cost money, and military pay also costs money. If we now spend all the money in the treasury
Kong, who will support this million-strong army? Mr. Zhang, you?"
Zhang Xin was speechless by Zhang Zhe and stepped back with an ugly face. 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 minister will dig up three feet of the ground and dig up the ground."
Enough gold and silver are given to the king. If it is just to provide household supplies for the ministers and to withdraw silver from the treasury, then I'm sorry, but the humble ministers won't be able to get a single copper plate."
Tang Yin almost got angry and asked: "Are you the king, or am I the king? I promised you all that I would help you buy a home 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." On issues of principle, Zhang Zhe displayed the spirit of an iron rooster, never plucking away a dime and making no concessions.
Zhang Zhe's toughness made Tang Yin's face turn red. He was the king, and his words had already been spoken. Even if they were wrong, he could only bite the bullet and make them wrong. Seeing that Tang Yin was riding a tiger, Guan Yuanji hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty,
, what Mr. Zhang said is not unreasonable. The money of the treasury should not be wasted on these trivial matters. However, even if the king has made a promise at the beginning, he has to abide by it. It is better to compromise like this. "
"What kind of compromise?"
"Master Zhang is afraid that the 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 has fulfilled his promise and it will not make it too difficult for Mr. Zhang. It will kill two birds with one stone." Guan Yuan Ji Youyou said.
After hearing his words, 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 being a good person!
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 the same rank, but from the bottom of his heart, he still respects Guan Yuanji. He thought for a moment, handed over his hands and said, "But the quota of 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, "Okay! Mr. Zhang will have full decision on this matter!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Zhe raised his hands and bowed deeply to Tang Yin, but 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 and become familiar with it.
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. After a rough walk around, they had a pretty good understanding of 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 crude inside?"
Hearing this, Tang Yin was a little dumbfounded. Is Yin Zhen showing off to himself or showing off? Is he so excited that he has forgotten his current status as a dependent? Tang Yin smiled lightly and said lightly: "Wei Chen has never been interested in where he lives.
Very picky.”
"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?"
"A mere assassin is nothing to worry about, but I still thank you for your concern," Tang Yin said with a smile.
"Mo Ren really does not know what is good and what is 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 elegance of the emperor. The Mo people who were watching were almost in a semi-crazy state. At the scene, there were many people kneeling and kowtowing, and 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 being compared to him and beaming with joy, Tang Yin wanted to cut open his head to see what was going on in his pig brain.
Is it a good thing that such a phenomenon occurs when you are under the control of others? Are you not afraid of being killed at all? It may be that you have lived in the palace for too long, and even your thinking is different from that of normal people.
Tang Yin shook his head secretly, but he hoped that Yin Zhun could continue to be so simple, or stupid, which for him 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 your Majesty's subjects. Naturally, the people love you more than anything else."
Yin Zhen 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 Kingdom.
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, Asan, and the guards to
He drove the carriage he had prepared in advance into the palace and headed 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 to catch 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 everything into consideration. 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.
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 at the beginning not to hurt 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 properly settled Shao Fang's family or killed them directly to avoid further trouble, even Tang Yin could not guarantee this.
"This is the best. I will feel at ease living there 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 ghost Yixiao, but he was a little worried.
