Chapter 460
Shangjing.

After the end of the court meeting, the Queen Mother's complexion has not changed for the better.

And because of the anger of the person in power, the people who waited on the side were even more silent, for fear that the slightest sound they made would affect this person.

"Your Majesty, Sir Qi please see me."

"pass."

"Yes."

"See my lady." After a while, Qi Ming walked in.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" The Queen Mother sat behind the table with an inscrutable look on her face, and her words and deeds carried unpredictable majesty.

Qi Ming just maintained the respect he should have, and explained the purpose of his visit in a leisurely manner.

"Your Majesty, the relevant candidates have been determined, and they are all here.

"Some candidates are not suitable and have been removed, while others have been added."

When Qi Ming introduced it, the Queen Mother also quickly flipped through it.

At the end, Qi Ming said: "Except for people, I have made a list, you can take a look."

"Two million taels? Are you robbing money?" After seeing the last number, the Queen Mother couldn't help but throw the booklet on the table, murderous looks shot out from her eyes.

Qi Ming was not frightened at all, and his expression was calm: "Ma'am, this number is the lowest."

"No." The Queen Mother categorically vetoed it, even wanting to grind her teeth.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know that money is expensive.

This sentence is true.

In the past, she was a queen and didn't have much property at hand, but she was not short of money either.

Because whether it's the harem expenses or her shadow, Qinghe Emperor is behind him.

She doesn't have to worry about money at all.

But when she really became the Queen Mother Regent, she realized that it was really not easy to manage the whole Dazhao well.

Since five years ago, the treasury has been in deficit.

Almost every year, the inventory is constantly being depleted.

By this year, the treasury had run out of money.

"Your Majesty, look, this is the list made by the minister. These are the results of saving time and saving time." Even though the other party's eyes were fierce, Qi Ming still took out a list unhurriedly: "This A total of 20 people set off for disaster relief, and the travel expenses for this group of people are at least 1 taels."

"And starting from the capital, even if we travel day and night, it will take half a month. Our daily consumption in this half month, and supplies for Sucheng."

"Suzhou City was hit hard by the disaster, and many roads were destroyed. If you want to send supplies smoothly, you must at least repair the roads. To build roads, even if you don't recruit civilians, you have to prepare various tools, etc. .”

Qi Ming is methodical and clear, almost everything is necessary.

The Empress Dowager looked stern, her eyes were fixed on the paper in front of her, she wished she could burn it with her eyes.

This is naturally her imagination.

The booklet was laid out neatly in front of her, and the numbers on it were particularly large.

The Queen Mother put down the folder, turned her head and said, "Lord Qi."

"Your Majesty, please order." Qi Ming lowered his head slightly, looking respectful and waiting, which made the Queen Mother choke again.

"I will issue an imperial decree for you. You go to the Ministry of Accounts to withdraw the money yourself." The Queen Mother suddenly laughed. If she remembered correctly, the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts is a famous miser.

Qi Ming laughed when he heard this, his expression was gentle, and his eyes seemed to be shining even more.

The Queen Mother was almost dazzled by this handsome face.

Well, sure enough, officials should look better in the future.

In this way, even if you are angry from the bottom of your heart, you can't help but feel happy when you see the faces of those people.

After sending Qi Ming away, the Queen Mother heaved a sigh of relief, and then picked up the folder next to her.

This notebook was sent by the Minister of the Household Department not long ago.

Because of the war last year, the treasury has run out of money.

But there are more places to spend money.

For example, at the end of the year, officials' salaries have to be paid.

Also, the tomb of the little emperor has to be prepared.

Yes, although the little emperor is only one year old and has just ascended the throne.

But for the imperial mausoleum, of course, the emperor had to start preparing it as soon as he ascended the throne.

In addition to these, there are more or less military pay.

And if there is no way to allocate funds, many projects will not be able to proceed.

The Queen Mother finally looked at the national silver deficit, and couldn't help throwing this book aside.

When the queen mother was upset about having no money, Qi Ming had already taken the queen mother's order and went to the household department.

"Your Majesty, will this servant give you a massage?" Yun He walked behind the Queen Mother and said in a low voice.

The queen mother gave a gracious voice.

The gentle force on the head made the corners of the Queen Mother's lips soften a bit: "Yun He, I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to gain power."

"But who refuses to accept you? Tell this servant, and this servant will kill him." Yun He's tone was cold and murderous.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, and said suddenly: "You said to kill, there is really someone who wants you to kill."

"Who?" Yun He asked immediately.

The Queen Mother stood up and looked to the north: "It's the prince who doesn't know where he is."

Yun He was stunned.

The Queen Mother said unhurriedly: "When the first emperor gave the line to me, he was confident in his words and completely under his control. Obviously that prince who has not been traced has a certain ability. As long as he appears, he will definitely be supported by everyone. .As long as the prince is still alive, the position of the new emperor will not be stable enough, do you understand?"
