Chapter 56 056 The Treasury Is Out of Money

Seeing Emperor Donglin then said: "Master Shangshu, what else is there?"

Can Emperor Donglin still see that Master Shangshu has something on his mind?

Shangguan Sizheng in the front row smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't want to take care of the renovation of the Wanfo Temple that was entrusted to Siqian before, but after hearing Siqian say a few words, it didn't go well."

Song Nanyi sounded a little funny. He had just finished talking about his eldest daughter, and the next second he began to think about his son.

Emperor Donglin didn't think much about it, and directly asked Shangguan Siqian what happened.

For such a big project as the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law have not known how long it has been delayed, until the Queen Mother was dying and did not see the temple she was thinking about being completed.

Since the Queen Mother passed away, the progress of this project has become more and more slow, coupled with years of fighting, Donglin Emperor has lost his mind.

So this matter went around and around in the hands of countless ministers, and they could only see oil and water in the hands of the ministers, but they did not see the completion of the project.

Everyone knows that Wanfo Temple can reap benefits, but once the leadership falls into the hands of Lord Shangguan, no one dares to touch this piece of fat.

"I would like to report to Your Majesty that it is about the allocation of funds by the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the revenue and expenditure of the treasury, but the allocation of funds to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple has always been slow."

Shangguan Siqian pursed his lips, and then said: "I don't have a high status in the Ministry of Rites, and I can't talk... It's not easy to ask Mr. Helan directly, so I have to wait until the funds are allocated before starting work, which has been delayed back and forth. It's been a long time. Your Majesty will punish you."

Emperor Donglin really didn't know about the appropriation of money by the Ministry of Rites. He only needed to issue an imperial decree and ask his subordinates to do it. As for how much money it would cost, he didn't even ask carefully.

I didn't expect these things to be brought before Emperor Donglin.

"Lord Helan, yes." Emperor Donglin recalled a bit, isn't this also a person under Lord Shangshu's jurisdiction, "Where is Helan Ruya?"

A woman with a gentle face took a step forward, dignified and reserved, bowed to the emperor east and said, "The minister is here."

"What Zuohu said in the Ministry of Rites is the truth?"

The woman nodded and replied: "Indeed, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Song Nanyi's favorability for the adult increased a lot, and she did not expect her to answer so sincerely.

And judging from her temperament, she is a woman who was cultivated from a well-known lady and a famous family.

Emperor Donglin frowned, regained consciousness, and raised his voice: "Why is the appropriation procrastinating?"

Master He Lan straightened his body, and replied to Emperor Donglin, "I report to Your Majesty, the treasury really doesn't have any extra money."

"We have been fighting for the past few years, and the required military funds, supplies and compensation for the families of the dead soldiers have already made the treasury crumbling."

"In addition to natural disasters, taxation, and after the battle with Huangshui, His Majesty spent a lot of money to celebrate the victory of the soldiers...all of which were huge."

"There are a lot of decorations during the Spring Festival, and the treasury really doesn't have any extra money to spend on the renovation of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

What Helan Ruya said was short, but what was spent, consumed, and used for each word was the cost in units of real money.

Song Nanyi frowned when she heard that, while roughly calculating the matter she just reported, she lamented that it would be good if the national treasury had not had negative income, and the destruction of the Donglin Kingdom was truly unjust.

After Master He Lan finished his report, a few sparse courtiers began to echo him. They were telling the truth.

 Family members, let's just say that the queen mother here has not yet si, just implying that the queen mother did not complete this project before she died, OK?Otherwise, the queen mother's plot will conflict with this
