Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 162 22 million taels of silver shocked the government and the public!
Afterwards, Yao Guangyun and the Empress discussed for more than an hour in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The appropriation for the Six Departments of the Chaotang was determined.

This can be said to be related to the development of the entire Great Wei.

It's easy to do things with money.

Such a one-by-one plan.

Looking back, after the autumn harvest is over and the tax money is collected, they can follow this distribution plan step by step.

This is also the most important thing in the next court.

It can be said that the court will fight for a long time.

Yao Guangyun didn't leave until late at night.

……

Among the Kyoto.

A curfew has been imposed.

But in Yan Wangfu.

But it was brightly lit.

The servants dare not go to rest.

King Yan was furious just now, and a servant accidentally broke a plate. If it was in the past, he only needed to clean it up, and at most he would be punished, and there would not be too much punishment.

But today, it happened to touch the anger of the prince.

He was directly dragged out and sentenced to fifty strokes of the cane.

Fifty strokes, can this person still exist?
Even if he was lucky enough to survive, his life would probably be ruined.

All the servants were trembling, for fear that if they did not do well, they would touch the prince's brow.

In the study of King Yan's Mansion.

Yang Ning was sitting upright on the chair, and King Yan was sitting on the grand master's chair.

The atmosphere at the scene was very quiet.

After a long time, King Yan said slowly, "There are really so many?"

King Yan paused for a moment, then said again, "That's 20 taels."

"The error will not exceed [-] million taels. I have checked it several times."

Yang Ning said cautiously.

Although he is a bachelor of the cabinet, he belongs to the party and is in charge of the entire household department.

At this moment, the autumn harvest is drawing to a close.

Most of the data has actually been aggregated to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

According to the tax and silver of each province in previous years, compare the ratio.

Probably judged this value.

20 taels of silver.

"20 taels of silver!"

King Yan murmured.

Although the policy of spreading the income into the mu predicted that the tax and silver would increase, it was never expected that it would increase so much.

This is 20 million taels of silver.

In the past, it was only [-] million taels of tax silver a year.

Now, one autumn harvest is worth 20 taels of silver.

To say it wasn't shocking would be a lie.

Moreover, standing in the position of King Yan, he thinks differently from ordinary officials.

What he thought was, if he had mastered the Great Wei and had so much tax money, then he would fight other...

Thinking of this, King Yan's breathing became short of breath.

"My lord, my lord!"

Yang Ning shouted twice.

Only then did King Yan recover from his contemplation.

"Well, yes, Scholar Yang, tell me!"

King Yan came back to his senses, calmed down, and made a sound.

"My lord, should we fight for more silver taels? This autumn harvest has so much tax money, the treasury must be sufficient."

Yang Ning asked.

No matter who it is, facing such a large sum of money, they will be tempted.

"Look at their reaction! Let's not rush."

King Yan pondered for a moment and made a decision.

Experienced the matter of changing rice into mulberry and treasure banknotes.

The faction of the Yang party has completely become the power of King Yan.

The same is true for Liu Dang and Li Dang.

For the entire court situation, it is also more clear.

"The officer understands."

Yang Ning heard this, nodded and said.

……

at the same time.

outside the palace.

In an old government office.

Although dilapidated, it wasn't ruined.

And, obviously, there are traces of repairs.

At night, the place is brightly lit.

The soldiers and eunuchs coming and going showed their solemnity.

A murderous air permeated the air.

In the main hall of the government office.

Countless torches illuminate the hall like daytime.

Wang Xi sat on the first seat.

On both sides below, there are rows of eunuchs and imperial guards.

"Report to the manager, the autumn harvest is over, and now the tax money from all over the place is being escorted back to Beijing." An eunuch in the palace reported.

Wang Xi looked at the secret letter presented in his hand.

After a long time, I asked, "Has the total amount of autumn harvest tax money been calculated?"

"Return to the manager, and the statistics have been calculated. The total is 21 and 640 taels."

The eunuch accurately confirmed the number to single digits.

"Well, I got it, please tell me, don't let the tax bank have any accidents, and ensure that it enters the treasury safely."

Wang Xi said casually.

"Yes, please rest assured that the manager, hundreds of households, thousands of households, will lead a team to escort, and the local defenders will escort them all the way. Taxes and money will be absolutely safe."

The eunuch spoke seriously.

……

Time passed slowly.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The court has also become calm recently.

However, today's court meeting.

Destined not to be peaceful.

Accompanied by Hubu Shangshu's words, in the court hall, all the officials were fried.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"Prelude!"

Jiang Ling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke lightly.

"This autumn harvest has ended perfectly, with a total of 21 and 640 taels of tax silver collected."

A word from Tobe Shangshu.

Let the court hall fall into an eerie silence.

But only for a moment.

The sound of cold inhalation resounded in the court hall.

At the same time, the next moment.

The noisy discussion resounded throughout the court.

"How much? Mr. Zhao, if you hit me, I shouldn't be dreaming, right?"

'Snapped'

"Hiss, it really hurts, I'm not dreaming."

"My God, 21 taels is close to 8000 taels of silver. Isn't that too much?"

"This is just the autumn harvest. Da Wei pays taxes twice a year. Doesn't it mean that our Da Wei tax can reach 40 taels of silver a year?"

"Hiss... Last year it was only 40 million taels, but now it can reach [-] million taels a year."

"It's too scary."

"This strategy of spreading the land into the mu is really a good strategy through the ages, and it is more powerful than precious money."

"Yes! We don't have to worry about money anymore."

"Indeed, I will write the memorial later. Our Ministry of War still has a lot of papers for money waiting to be approved!"

"22 taels of silver, my booklet only costs 800 taels, isn't it a bit low?"

"Be bolder and change it to 8000 million taels."

"Hiss...is this much appropriate?"

"Excessive asking prices, sit on the ground and pay back the money, one or two more is one or two, who would think too much money?"

"Master Wang is right."

"..."

……

"quiet!"

Accompanied by the voice of the little eunuch in front of the court.

Only then did the officials in the court quiet down.

"Yes, Hubu has worked hard this time. The autumn harvest time is so tight, and he can perfectly complete the autumn harvest task. Hubu should be rewarded."

With a smile on her face, Jiang Ling said slowly, "Come here, all the members of the Rewarding Department, ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred bolts of silk and satin, one hundred mu of fertile land, and three beautiful maidservants."

This reward is only for the core personnel of the court and household department, and the subordinate officials are definitely not counted.

There are only a dozen core officials.

Compared with harvesting so much tax money in autumn, it is naturally not worth mentioning.

Jiang Ling did this to show the ministers that they should do things well, and I will not treat you badly.
