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

Chapter 78 Shocking, the disaster of the Great Wei

late at night.

Great Wei court.

Looking at the heavy file in front of him, Xu Shouyun really didn't expect that he, the connector, would be so serious.

"Here is the content of all the dossiers about Dawei Baochao, please read them as soon as possible."

"We Da Chu also want to implement the treasure banknote system. It doesn't matter whether Da Wei dies or not. We Da Chu don't have any problems."

When Jiang Ling spoke, she deliberately explained the pros and cons so that Xu Shouyun would not have any doubts.

"Understood, please don't worry, my lord, my subordinates must study it carefully."

Xu Shouyun took the file, and the latter obviously had no intention of staying any longer. She originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she planned to be quiet for a while.

She still has some things to deal with. At the same time, she also prepared a dossier about Dawei Baochao and handed it to Yao Guangyun.

Again, double insurance.

"My lord, there is something I want to tell you first."

Xu Shouyun opened his mouth and thought of one thing.

"You said."

Jiang Ling was a little curious, wondering what Xu Shouyun wanted to find her.

Xu Shouyun didn't talk too much, and directly told about Concubine Liu and Concubine Wu, probably because he might have offended Concubine Wu.

See if your connector has any good solutions.

After listening to Xu Shouyun's narration, Jiang Ling was also a little unexpected, but she was very confident and said to Xu Shouyun.

"Now that the empress is on the throne, the rights of concubines in the harem have been greatly weakened, and they are no longer what they used to be. Besides, with the empress dowager, these concubines have no support, and some things cannot be done before."

"You don't need to worry too much. You can ignore some small troubles. If you encounter big troubles, come to me again. I will find a way to speak to His Majesty and let His Majesty deal with it."

Jiang Ling said that Jiang Ling didn't care about her little mothers. In her opinion, if it weren't for the issue of etiquette, the concubines in the harem should have been dismissed long ago, so that it would be quieter.

What Jiang Ling said was right, Xu Shouyun thought the same way before, the empresses of the ancient harem were existences that depended on the power of the emperor to do their best.

Of course, the power of one's own family is also very important, but most of them still have to rely on imperial power.

Now that the emperor is dead, the newly enthroned emperor is still a woman, it would be better if he were a man.

So they don't dare to act recklessly, they still have rights, but they are definitely not as good as before.

"Thank you sir."

After getting the answer, Xu Shouyun thanked him, but the latter left without staying.

Looking at the dossier on the ground, and then at Jiang Ling who was leaving, Xu Shouyun didn't stay long and left with the dossier.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Shouyun returned to his residence and began to light up the lamp to read at night.

The dossiers were read by Xu Shouyun, and his connector was also very careful, so he brought some successful cases along with him.

It's just that after reading in depth, Xu Shouyun felt more and more that it was not feasible to promote the Great Wei Baochao.

The treasury has less than 1000 million taels of silver on the surface. Does it sound good?
But this is only cash, and Wei has a lot of debts. First of all, the salaries of courtiers and officials have reached the lowest level in history, and there are even incidents of silver arrears.

This is not a trivial matter. Ruthless officials who owe officials their salaries will start to take bribes and break the law. Some officials who are not firm in their will will start to take bribes and break the law if they can't afford it.

And some of the real Qingliu are just waiting to starve to death.

Money can turn ghosts around. No matter whether you are an upright or corrupt official, you need money, because the people below the upright officials are not necessarily upright officials.

Not being corrupt and breaking the law is their bottom line, but the court's failure to pay salaries on time broke their bottom line.

And for two consecutive years, the six departments have not received any funding, and the occasional funding is all to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

The six ministries represent the six major institutions. The Ministry of Officials adjusts, appoints and removes officials from all over the country, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of education. Education is the foundation of the country, and knowledge is the foundation of the country.

The Ministry of Punishment is a judiciary. Without money, it is difficult for the Ministry of Punishment to handle cases across cities. It can only let some criminals get away with it, let alone the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Of course, no matter how poor Wei was, he gave the Ministry of War a lot of subsidies, but unfortunately the Ministry of War is a bottomless pit, no matter how much money you put in it, it doesn't make much sense.

Not to mention the Ministry of Industry, weapons forging, training of war horses, as well as infrastructure and water conservancy projects in various places all need money.

The Ministry of Households is also very important, the national finance.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the six departments to ask for money. If the money cannot be paid, the entire department can only operate according to the guaranteed operation method.

This kind of bottom-guaranteed operation method is actually self-consumption, through various reductions and layoffs to maintain the operation of the department.

Under such circumstances, various problems, large and small, will appear in each department, which will turn into an extremely terrifying trend and plant the root of disaster.

At the same time, there are frequent frictions on the border. The Ministry of War needs a lot of military spending and is ready to fight at any time.

This is also an extremely crucial matter. It’s okay to be poor, at least it’s not dead, but if there is a war on the border, once the grassland people rush over.

That's the big deal.

You know, why is there often friction and harassment at the border?In fact, this is a simple temptation, and the opponent does not dare to fight too hard, but these people are ambitious.

Who wouldn't want to annex a country?
Is making money faster than stealing money?
And for the current Great Wei Dynasty, winning is not necessarily a good thing, and losing is even more unlucky.

Unless it is a complete victory, otherwise, after paying a huge price to win the border war, other places will start to move around, and there will be more troubles at that time.

If you lose the fight, you will be numb immediately. When the grassland tribe saw it, it turns out that this is the Great Wei?Hurry back and form an alliance, brothers, take the sack and grab the money.

And as Xu Shouyun continued to read, his expression gradually became distorted.

"Fuck."

Xu Shouyun was dumbfounded when a copy of the patriarchal food salary roll was placed in front of him.

The clan of the Great Wei Dynasty is simply a terrifying number, which can be described as shocking. Every year, they need to allocate 5000 million taels of silver to subsidize these guys.

It’s fine if it’s only 3000 million taels. The worst thing is that they all have fiefs and fertile land, which roughly means that they don’t have to pay taxes.

Xu Shouyun searched, but couldn't find the Great Wei Tian Book of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This thing should be classified as top secret, and it's normal if you can't get it.

But Xu Shouyun can guess that the Great Wei Dynasty has formed an extremely terrifying 'Matthew Effect'.

What is the Matthew Effect?

Four-word explanation, twenty-eight law.

Two adults control [-]% of a country's wealth.

It can even be inferred from this patriarchal food salary that it may not only be the [-]th rule, but [-]th is possible.

At a time like this, if the Dawei Baochao is still being promoted, is it really him forcing rebellion?

Xu Shouyun is even more determined that the treasure banknote system must never be implemented.

After three years of survival, Xu Shouyun cut himself off.

And at the same time.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Jiang Ling looked extremely calm.

"It is expected that after reading these files, Xu Shouyun should understand that Wei needs to promote the treasure."

"This time, he should have nothing to say."

This is Jiang Ling's idea.
