Chapter 570 A Slightly Different Monarch and Subject

"If you can earn an extra 1000 million taels..."

The emperor murmured for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "No, I only need 500 million taels more, and I can spare a lot of energy to do things that I couldn't do before."

Many people think that the emperor can do whatever he wants as a profession, and he can do whatever he wants. When he sees a woman on the street, he can drag him home.

In fact, it is very wrong.

The profession of the emperor looks glamorous, but in fact it is very laborious and laborious to do this job well, and the most important thing before the emperor is actually a word of money.

Not only the Southern and Northern Dynasties period where Chen and Qi are opposed, but also the history in another world. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought for a lifetime, and the treasury was empty and unsustainable. In the end, he had to issue leather coins to harvest the princes, so as not to The economy of the Central Dynasty collapsed.

This has been the case in all dynasties.

The first problem before the emperor was the financial problem.

Now that the imperial court uses precious metals as the anchor currency, the imperial court's economic system is still relatively stable, but it is precisely because of this reason that the imperial court's economic policy cannot be too flexible.

After all, with silver as the anchor, even the value of copper coins will be relatively fixed. Once the copper content in the copper coins minted by the court decreases, it will not take long for the ability of these copper coins to be exchanged for silver.

Moreover, it is even more impossible to print banknotes on a large scale like in the last years of some dynasties.

Therefore, the tax collected by the imperial court will be reduced for every penny spent.

If there is no money, then there is really no money. Even if the emperor wanted to build a coastal defense force along the coast, he needed Jin Shizi Li Mu to lead his men southward, search their homes all the way, and managed to get [-] anti-Japanese troops.

If he could earn 500 million taels a year, not only would he be able to build a new capital along the coast, but he would even be able to spare a lot of spare money and put it in other places. In this way, not only would he be the emperor, but the Chen court would also be able to live a lot easier.

"Shi Ship Division, Shi Ship Division..."

The emperor rubbed his brows, and said in a low voice: "Today... I really don't have the energy to think about these things. I'm going to sleep for a while now. I will read every word of your memorandum in detail. Last time."

When the emperor said this, he looked up at Shen Yi, with a big smile on his face: "If you can really increase so much silver every year, you, Shen Ziheng, will be the number one hero in this dynasty in my heart."

Shen Yi quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is too famous, I just put forward a concept, how to implement it, and who to choose for the Shipbuilding Department, still need to be perfected by Your Majesty and the court officials. If this matter is really achieved..."

"That is also the credit of His Majesty and the princes, and I dare not take the credit."

The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I got Shen Qing. I really got a treasure. Not only can I train soldiers, but I can also make money. I really want to transfer you back to Jiankang and let you go to the Ministry of Households to stay for a few years."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

The emperor squinted his eyes at the memorial, and then said: "Although the palace can send people to take charge of the affairs of the Shibosi, the household department also needs the cooperation of people. Shen Qing, you are here these days. Jiankang, when you have nothing to do, you can go to Zhao Shangshu and talk to him about it."

The emperor smiled.

"Firstly, you can get close to your uncle and nephew, and secondly, you can also find out about him for me."

"You are an uncle, but you are a good accountant."

The emperor smiled and said: "For a long time to come, I plan to use him in charge of the household department. Only with him in the household department can I sleep peacefully."

Most ordinary people would be overjoyed when they heard the emperor's words, but Shen Yi frowned slightly, hearing something different.

There are some hidden meanings in the emperor's words.

That is, for a long time in the future, Zhao Changping will be the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting.

This is certainly a good thing, but for Zhao Changping or Ganquan Academy, it is not entirely a good thing.

Because Zhao Changping has been in charge of the household department for many years.

When he was the servant of the household department, the old Shangshu Liu Jizhang was old, and Zhao Changping was actually in charge of the entire household department, just a difference in status.

When the prime ministers Yang Jingzong and Zhang Jing became official, Zhao Changping was actually a popular candidate for prime minister, and he was only one step away from entering Zhongshu to worship the prime minister and becoming the envied Zhao prime minister.

And if for a long time in the future, he is still nailed to the household department and will not move...

You know, this Zhao Shangshu is over 50 years old.

So... in this life, does he still have a chance to become Prime Minister Zhao?
If Zhao Changping missed the phase, it might be a big blow to all the "Oasis School" in the court.

Seeing that Shen Yi was in a daze, the emperor smiled and said, "What is Shen Qing thinking?"

Only then did Shen Yi come back to his senses, he bowed his head to the emperor and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I am thinking about how to bring up the matter of Shibosi to Master Zhao..."

"It's easy to talk about anything between you guys."

The emperor first smiled, then rubbed his forehead, and sighed slightly: "On the contrary, I believed your instigation, and I had a big fight with my queen two days ago, so that yesterday I went to Kunde Palace to give my mother When it came to making amends, they were all shut down."

Speaking of this, the emperor was quite troubled: "Because of this matter, I haven't slept well for two days."

Shen Yi was speechless.

He bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I did not encourage you, if your words are spread, I will die..."

The emperor glanced at him and said angrily, "You haven't encouraged me yet? That day..."

When the emperor said this, he seemed to remember that Shen Yi should not be involved in this matter, so as not to ruin a minister of Hongde Dynasty, so he coughed and did not continue.

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty actually only needs to hide... Concubine Lu. If the Empress Dowager can't find her, she will probably be sullen for a few days. I never thought of you..."

Who would have thought that you could confront my old lady head-on for Canary?
Although the emperor did not have much to do with Canary, it was somewhat beyond Shen Yi's expectations.

Some are too strong.

The emperor glanced at Shen Yi sullenly, and after a long silence, he stood up directly, ready to walk out.

After walking two steps, he seemed to remember something, turned around and took Shen Yi's memorial book, stuffed it into his sleeve, then rubbed his temple with one hand, and walked towards the palace gate.

"I'm going to rest, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

His Majesty's voice went further and further away: "Go back, I will rest in two days, and I will call you into the palace..."

Shen Yi quickly stood up, cupped his hands towards the emperor, and said with a smile: "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

The emperor stretched out his hand very coolly, and waved his back to Shen Yi: "You go back too, so that you can spend time with your family, and you will go south again in a few days."

Counting the time, Ling Su and Xue Wei are about to enter Beijing.

After these two people went to Beijing to meet the emperor, there was a high probability that Shen Yi would go with them and return to Yueqing to continue his business.

Shen Yi bowed his head and said yes.

After the emperor left completely, Master Shen stood up straight and also stretched a lot.

After stretching, he looked up at the sky outside, and it was almost noon.

"Brother Zhang is probably about to leave work soon."

Master Shen yawned again.

"Go to a banquet and drink."
