This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 84 The treasury is empty?

Not long after, two servants walked in carrying a large box.

Xia Liufeng waved back the servants, and waited for Lai Yongqing to wave back the housekeeper and others thoughtfully, then opened the lid of the box.

Lai Yongqing looked up, and when he found a miniature palace made of various precious crystals, jade, etc., he couldn't help but flicked his wrist and almost shook the tea bowl off.

"Xia Langzhong, what are you?"

"Lai Shilang, this hall is called Yuyuan, and it was built by Master Liu a hundred years ago. It is not only beautiful and majestic, but also has the effect of gathering vitality. It is worth tens of thousands of gold!"

Xia Liufeng first introduced the value of the palace in a meaningful way, then he looked serious and lowered his voice.

"Today, Xia gave it to Lai Shilang, just asking Lai Shilang to speak good words for my father in front of His Majesty. After all, my father once opposed His Majesty..."

Lai Yongqing's heart trembled first, his eyes showed a fiery look, but then his back felt cold.

Such a heavy gift, even if it is given to the two prime ministers, is extremely generous, so why give him a small servant?

Moreover, asking him to say good things to His Majesty for King De doesn't mean letting him run to die?
Do you really think he doesn't know how much he weighs?

Could it be that this guy and King De wanted to flatter and kill him?
Thinking of this, Lai Yongqing warned Zhao Dasheng, anger grew in his heart, but his face was still obsessed and fiery.

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem, this matter is on me!"

"However, Lai can't guarantee how effective it will be..."

The corner of Xia Liufeng's mouth hooked slightly, and he nodded with a smile.

"That is, as long as Lai Shilang is willing to help, it will be enough."

After the two chatted for a while, Xia Liufeng took his leave.

……

The Imperial Palace, the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

Liu Linku, Minister of the Household Department, sat in the outer hall, watching the maid filling the fifth cup of tea, sighing inwardly.

He has been waiting here for more than an hour, but His Majesty has not arrived, which makes him very annoyed.

He knows what that His Majesty is doing now, how absurd it is to prostitute in the daytime!
Now, there are rumors going around everywhere that His Majesty took the elder sister-in-law, the former concubine, for his own sake, and forcibly took over the concubine of the former emperor, and indulged in government affairs, singing and singing day and night, just like a foolish monarch.

Originally, he still didn't believe it, but today's situation made him believe it.

The new king is like this, what is the way forward for Daxia!

Liu Lin was depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, finally a servant came out from the inner hall.

"Liu Shangshu, Your Majesty is calling for you."

Liu Lin lifted his spirits, calmed down, arranged his clothes, and then followed the servant into the inner hall.

"His Majesty."

Looking at Xia Ao sitting upright on the soft collapse, Liu Lin felt a little suspicious.

Because Xia Ao in front of him is full of red face and piercing eyes, it doesn't look like he just walked out of the crowd of women at all.

"What important matter does Liu Aiqing insist on reporting to me?"

Xia Ao glanced at Liu Lin and asked quietly.

After he ascended the throne, he has changed the court meeting to once every five days, and the usual affairs are handed over to the two prime ministers, and the imperial book desk will review and file them.

Only major events will be submitted to his royal case, and he will make the final decision.

Liu Lin bypassed the two prime ministers and came directly to him, which also made him a little curious.

"Your Majesty, the treasury...is about to be empty..."

With a bitter face, Liu Lin gritted his teeth and said.

"Ok?"

Xia Ao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Liu Lin expressionlessly.

"As far as I know, there are 300 million taels of gold in the treasury, and the value of Yuanshi stock is also around 200 million taels of gold."

"In addition to the confiscated property of those treacherous ministers, the property filled into the national treasury is about 3000 million taels of gold, which is equivalent to my annual tax income in Daxia."

"With such a huge amount of wealth, you tell me that the treasury is going to be empty?"

Liu Lin smiled wryly, and lamented, "Your Majesty, I originally thought that there would be no problem, especially after adding such a huge income."

"But, Your Majesty, you don't know that after the two prime ministers came to power, they proposed extremely huge reform measures."

"Leaving aside those small ones, I will just give you a few examples of huge projects."

"First, the roads spread all over the corners, and the armored car connects the cities. According to this plan, the roads are divided into five levels. Not only the original roads will be greatly widened, but also the roads will be paved to all villages and towns."

"In addition, we must vigorously develop the armored vehicle industry. The initial goal is to use large-scale flying armored vehicles to connect the imperial capital and various prefectures and cities, and open up fixed flight routes and flights."

"This project is extremely huge, and the first phase of the project alone requires an investment of tens of millions of taels of gold!"

"Secondly, reorganize the Casting Department and expand the Pill Medicine Department. The specific plan of this project is not even known to the veteran, but it needs to invest 800 million taels of gold! And both prime ministers have passed it!"

"In addition, there are water conservancy systems to be sorted out, granaries to be added, academies and military academy systems to be reformed, casualties to be compensated, soldiers to be replenished, strategic material reserves to be increased, and so on."

"If it is really going to go according to the plan, it will need to invest a full 5000 million taels of gold just now!"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Liu Lin looked even more sad.

"Your Majesty, there are only about 500 million taels of gold in the national treasury, which cannot be supported or brought out at all, and at least 300 million taels of gold need to be set aside as a reserve in case of major changes."

"Therefore, the old minister suggests that His Majesty call back the most gigantic projects and let them reduce the scale, or simply cancel..."

Xia Ao frowned, tapped his fingers on the table and did not speak.

The two guys, Li Si and Gao Yan, were obviously eyeing their own internal treasury. They never mentioned the impending deficit of the national treasury, but instead forced Liu Lin to come, obviously out of fear of being reprimanded.

The value of the wealth in the inner treasury was about 800 million taels of gold. Before that, the property of the prime minister, prince, and Sangong was confiscated, and more than [-]% of it was included in the inner treasury.

Therefore, there are currently about 300 million taels of wealth in the inner treasury.

As the ruler of Great Xia, although he likes to enjoy, he knows the truth that only the stronger Great Xia is, the more he can enjoy himself.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to refuse this large-scale reform of the foundation of a powerful country.

After more than ten breaths of silence, Xia Ao finally spoke.

"I know about this matter, so let's allocate it according to the plan."

Liu Lin was taken aback for a moment, widened his eyes and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this..."

Xia Ao waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about the money. In order to enhance my comprehensive background in all aspects of Daxia, I will support even if I sell the treasures in the palace."

"In this way, within five days, I will refill the treasury with wealth worth 2000 million taels of gold."

Liu Lin froze for a moment, blinking his eyes in confusion.

Where did His Majesty get such a huge amount of wealth?In the library, there are so many?
Selling the treasures in the palace?

This His Majesty is really incomprehensible. Is he a faint king or a holy master?
