Chapter 523 Army Expenditures

On the second day, in the middle of the night, Lin Yu got up, dressed in the official residence, and then went to the direction of the palace.

To be honest, he dozed off along the way. If it weren't for the palace, where carriages could not travel but could only walk, Lin Yu probably would have slept all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But walking is still beneficial, that is, waking up and drowsiness. In the early morning, when the cold wind blows, no matter how big the drowsiness is, it will disappear.

When he came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lin Yu didn't quite understand the court system, and he didn't know where he should stand. In this dark place, everyone seemed to have a fixed position.

"Master Lin, I didn't find my place? Master Lin, where is your place? Come over quickly." In the hall, when the sixth princess came, she saw Lin Yu standing at the end, a little at a loss , so reminded.

"Thank you, my lord, for your guidance." Lin Yu saluted the sixth princess, then went to the place pointed by the sixth queen, and stood still.

He listened to the discussions of the people around him with no waves in his heart. They were all topics that Lin Yu could not understand. Obviously, the other party had never thought of asking her to talk.

Of course, some ministers were quietly looking at Lin Yu.

I've heard it a long time ago, this Lin Ziyu is young, I didn't expect it, this age is actually younger than everyone thinks, no wonder, he can get the attention of the queens, everyone thinks so.

After waiting for a long time, finally, the queen came. At this time, the hall was already full of people. When the queen arrived, it was dark, and she knelt on the ground, shouting, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" with a loud and clear voice. And tidy.

"Everyone loves you in peace"

"Thank you Your Majesty"

Then, a palace official stood beside the queen and shouted loudly, "If there is something to do, let the court go away..."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Then a minister standing on Lin Yu's left stepped forward.

"Please tell me, Shi Aiqing," the queen looked up and said with gritted teeth.

Hearing this tone, he seemed a little dissatisfied, but Lin Yu was quite curious about Mr. Shi.

"Returning to Your Majesty, recently, the military rations in the army have not been distributed since the end of the Phantom Spirit War. Before, the soldiers in the army were still living on the surplus rations before, but now... Your Majesty, please read on, Distribute this year's military rations."

"What Master Shi said is very true, but before the start of the war, a lot of military rations have already been taken, and the treasury is not full, so we have to be frugal." It was following Master Shi's wishes, but the meaning in these words made Master Shi furious.

"What does Lord Ren mean by these words? Lord Ren may not be clear. The battle of phantom spirits has just passed, and there are also casualties in the army. These soldiers must be appeased. The previous money was taken to appease the families of the casualties. In addition, the army's expenses are really high, and the army really doesn't have much food left." Master Shi immediately replied.

"This, Mr. Shi said, it's just that the national treasury is really not full recently. I'm afraid the army's expenditure will have to be reduced..." Mr. Ren said.

"Master Ren means to reduce the expenditure of the army? How can this work? How can the expenditure be reduced just after the war is over, so what do the soldiers think? Isn't this chilling the hearts of the soldiers? The soldiers are charging. In the past, there is a possibility of losing their lives at any time, and we have reduced their expenses, who will dare to work hard in the future?" Master Shi said loudly.

"But, this is a last resort. The army has tens of thousands of people. For the army's expenses, let the treasury be empty?" Lord Ren said helplessly.

"That can't reduce the expenditure of the army..."

For the issue of military expenses, Lord Ren and Lord Shi of the Ministry of Household Affairs took the lead, and finally turned into a fierce battle between civil servants and military officials. Both sides felt that what they said made sense.

Standing in the middle, Lin Yu's head was about to get big from the noise, and he watched them quarreling dumbfounded.

Obviously, the empress at the head is not too noisy, not to mention that she dare not speak up to help the other side easily, otherwise, the other party will definitely not want to.

After a long time, the queen rubbed her forehead with a headache.

"Cough, cough, cough," the queen coughed.

At first, everyone didn't hear it, but as the drums stopped one by one, the loudest people also reacted, and there was no sound in an instant.

"Well, this matter is still to be discussed. Do you have anything else to say? If you have nothing to do, you can leave the court." The queen asked, and she didn't care if there was anything else to do, and she just said to leave the court. up.

Obviously, everyone has been arguing about this matter for several days, and there has been no conclusion.
