Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 851
As an emperor, if you want to do something, the first thing you pay attention to is finance.

Naturally, today is no exception. The financial situation of the Dagan Dynasty is not very satisfactory, and it can even be said that it cannot support its ambitious ambitions.

If there is not enough money in hand, even Mingjun sits on the throne, there is no way to get things done.

The first thing to target today is naturally the Ministry of Households owes money.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the total loaned out money is almost 1000 two million taels, which is equivalent to [-]% to [-]% of the national treasury's annual income.

Moreover, it is also a huge sum of money that seems to be able to be collected under the nose of today.

It's a pity that the emperor is still alive and well. Judging by his strong body, he may last for ten years.

But anyone who doesn't want to get a reputation for discord between father and son today has to retreat temporarily when facing matters related to the emperor.

It just so happened that most of the people who owed money to the household department were all relatives of the emperor.

Especially the gang of princes and county kings under the emperor's knees were the most rampant in borrowing money from the household department.

Almost every family has more than one million taels, and the exaggerated ones have reached almost 300 million taels. It is simply using the national treasury as a private treasury.

But every time, the Ministry of Households sent people over to collect money, these princes and county kings cried poorly, as if they were planning to build a magnificent mansion, which was not true.

However, due to the favor of the emperor, it is still impossible to use violence now.

There is even no way to close the opening for borrowing money from the Ministry of Accounts.

In fact, the low-level officials in Beijing have very poor incomes. If they want to live steadily in the capital, they really need the help of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This is a good deed. Today, I don't want to make myself the opposite of the low-level officials in Beijing because of a group of princes and county kings.

What can be done is to limit the number of loans borrowed by the household department and the number of times.

However, this is the case, and he has received a lot of scolding nowadays, but there are many related rumors in Jingchengjing, which is not very friendly to his reputation today.

These things caused a lot of noise in the court, and Jia Rong naturally heard it.

It wasn't that he wanted to take the initiative to pay back the money. It was said that both the Ning Mansion and the Rong Mansion owed a lot of money to the household department, at least 50 taels, and they belonged to large debtors.

But others didn't pay back, if the Ningrong and Rongfu were too proactive, they would really become the target of the Xungui Group.

Instead, you can retaliate a little secretly, saying that you are worried about being targeted by the present, and others can't say anything.

And Yuan Chun can be used as an excuse to pay back the money, and outsiders can't comment on it at all.

In fact, Ning Mansion did just that.

Quietly repaid the 10 taels of silver, and specially informed Dai Quan, the chief executive, to remind him at some point.

Among other things, Jia Qiang, who works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the right time, can easily go a step further.

In addition, gaining the favor of today is also a handy way to eliminate certain disasters.

Sure enough, one time when Dai Quan went out of the palace to get some money, he specially invited Jia Rong over to the house for a drink, and talked about some palace secrets by the way.

After taking the 3000 taels of silver note from Jia Rong, Dai Quan was satisfied and opened his mouth.

According to him, he is quite satisfied with Ning Mansion's silent repayment of the money.

He even mentioned the big case that caused shock in the court before, that is, what happened to Lian Er and Jia Zhu in Tongzhou, and the case was quickly dealt with by the court.

Neither the present nor the cabinet showed mercy this time. They chopped off more than a dozen heads in one go, and exiled half of the village to a place of bitter cold.

Now it's not that he has any dissatisfaction or opinion on this case, but an indirect expression of some kind of goodwill, thinking that Lian Er and Jia Zhu have performed well.

In addition, Jia Qiang is quite satisfied with Jia Qiang, who is in charge of the coal mine business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Jin Province, and it will be no problem to wait until the seniority is sufficient.

In other words, it is true that the treasury has no money, but it is also true that there is no shortage of money in itself today.

Each emperor has his own internal treasury, which belongs to the emperor's private property.

With the help of coal mining and briquette business, today's Neiku can earn a fixed income of one million taels or more every year, which is not a small amount.

It is also for this reason that when spending money privately today, I have always been very generous and have never felt the distress of lack of money.

Sometimes, the household department is seriously short of money, and a group of bigwigs in the imperial court even hit the current internal treasury with their ideas, but the number of successes is only a few.

This is also the confidence to do something today, so don't panic if you have food in your hands.

In short, Jia Rong gained a lot from the 10 taels of silver that should have been repaid.

Turning around, he talked to the big brothers of Rongfu, explaining the doorway inside clearly.

Then, he directly got 11 taels of silver, and he helped to repay the 10 taels to the household department for Rongfu, while he left more than 1 taels.

It's not that Jia Rong is greedy, but the favor offered by Rongfu.

There is no way, hearing Jia Rong say that he is quite satisfied with Lian Er and Jia Zhu today, the leaders of the Rong Mansion are overjoyed, and naturally want to pay more attention to him now.

Of course they know that paying back the money owed by the Ministry of Accounts at this time is the best opportunity to curry favor with the present.

It's a pity that the old lady has no courage to be the first bird.

Even such a thing as quietly repaying the money, I don't want to touch it myself.

Then Jia Rong, who is bold and reckless and doesn't 'know' the power of the younger generation, can only toss about it, so naturally he has to give enough benefits.

If something happened in the future, the Rong Mansion would naturally be able to push all the troubles to Jia Rong, the handler. Did he get enough benefits?

Jia Rong didn't know what to say to Rongfu's attitude of wanting to take advantage of the benefits but unwilling to take risks.

On the contrary, the Wang family and the Shi family were not so entangled.

During the party, Jia Rong explained her operation and the subsequent impact, and then ignored it.

But what did those two do?

It was also quietly repaying the money, and directly repaid half of the owed money, saying it sincerely.

It has to be said that the heads of these two families are very courageous, and what they want is the current goodwill. The two families have been silent for too long.

In fact, the opportunity in Jia Rong's eyes will come soon.

Don't be afraid of having ideas today, just be afraid that you will lie flat today, without any thought and determination to change, then it will be difficult to operate.

As long as there is a storm in the court, Jia Rong can gather the strength of the four major families in Jinling and operate it well.

Because of dissatisfaction with the income of the Ministry of Households, within two years, three Yangzhou patrol salt censors have been replaced in succession, with a very strict attitude.

You know, when Lin Ruhai was the salt censor in Yangzhou, he paid more than 1000 million taels of salt tax to the household department every year, and at the peak it reached an astonishing 300 million taels.

However, Lin Ruhai's successor directly lowered the salt tax of that year to less than 1000 million taels, to more than 900 million taels.

The second term was even more exaggerated, and the salt tax revenue dropped to more than eight million taels...
