Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Could it be that the whole world was under the control of the king? Could it be that this was the territory of a king?

How many emperors and retards believed in this fake big sky lie? In fact, there was not a single person in this world who was capable of achieving such a feat!

Even though he was the Son of Heaven, he was still worried about money!

It was just like an ordinary commoner. A person who could eat to his heart's content with three copper coins a day would absolutely not be able to understand how badly the emperor of the throne room lacked money!

There was no need to worry about the lack of money for the country. Just the emperor's own selfish desires were hard to fill!

Would it be necessary to fix the palace garden? Do you want to hoard a bunch of antique calligraphy and paintings? Where did gold and silver come from?

If he had a hobby of cultivating pills and refining pills, then money would be nothing but a bottomless pit!

The key point was that the emperor had to have a group of loyal followers. Intelligence organizations, death soldiers, spies, undercover agents … You can't make a clear account of this money!

It had to be known that there was not only a alliance between imperial power and the power of bureaucratic groups, but also a mutual restriction on competition!

No matter how one avoided the conflict between the two powers, there would always be conflict, and the conflict would always have a win or loss. People just wanted to win but did not want to lose.

If he wanted to win, he had to be prepared. In the end, it was still money that mattered!

As long as it was separated by a level, it would be more inconvenient for the emperor to build a treasury. In the end, it was because it was inconvenient for him to spend the money in the Ministry of Revenue. Moreover, some people who spent it in the name of money would not be pleasant to hear and would be opposed by the imperial government!

This reasoning was the same as why a unit needed a small treasury in the future. This was because the small treasury would not be restricted by the financial system. Sometimes, without an invoice, one would be able to reimburse him or her, and he or she could get his or her money anytime and anywhere!

What a comfortable life!

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty was in fact a variant of the Ming Dynasty's treasury. The most important thing was to help the Emperor manage his personal treasury!

But at the moment, Zai Chun could not trust Ministry of Internal Affairs, because the people inside the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not his direct descendants, and the people inside could not be trusted at all!

Therefore, no one knew where the money in Zai Chun's hands was hidden! Department of Revenue was not clear, even Ministry of Internal Affairs did not understand!

Staring at his nephew, he thought to himself, "Are you admitting it or not?" If you admit to it, then you must give the Department of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs an explanation! "

"The country has its own rules and regulations. Money is controlled by the ancestors wherever it goes!"

"But if you don't admit it, then you'll be cutting off your own path of spending money in the future. You have to hide anything …"

"This rule of the kingdom is not a way to support one's family. It is not just a matter of hundreds or thousands of silver taels. In the future, you will have to pay a huge sum of over a million silver taels!"

"You can't hide such a large amount of funds from anyone. If the lie is exposed, your reputation will be tarnished just like before. The entire imperial government won't trust you anymore!"

"Zai Chun, you are still young, why are you fighting with me? I'll let you have the opening match twice, but you'll suffer later! "

Zai Chun was so angry that his chest was violently rising and falling, "What about it? Did the account check on me? How about this silver? None... "So what?"

"Your Majesty, if you do not have this money, you should send an order to Shuntian Palace and search for the source of these rumors. Capture those people who harbor malicious intentions and create rumours!"

"But... "If there's really such a large sum of money, I beg the emperor to send it to the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible. The capital really needs to spend too much, too much …"

Peng! Zai Chun punched on the throne, "How dare you! This Great Qing Dynasty has been here for more than two hundred years, how would there be a rule of having the Department of Revenue dare to ask for money from the coffers! "

"I won't tell you if I have the money!" Even if they do, they don't have the share you want! It's simply lawless! "

"After flipping through the annual accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how much silver did your Ministry of Revenue send to the treasury? It's only around a hundred thousand a year! "

"Take a look at the historical records. From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and then to the Ming Dynasty, how much silver did the treasury take away from the Ministry of Revenue? My Great Qing Dynasty already has enough savings, and you still dare to extend your hand to us? "

Zai Chun's scolding was right, compared to the Qing Dynasty, the amount of silver that the treasury extended towards the imperial government every year was not much. On average, it would only ask for around a hundred thousand taels of silver a year!

Of course, this was not to say that the Qing Dynasty's emperor lived a frugal life, but rather that the Emperor's treasury, which was also the Ministry of Internal Affairs, had too many ways to earn money!

There were royal estates all over the country, these taxes did not enter the household and directly entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

There were countless industries in the whole of Ministry of Internal Affairs, and most of them were in the oily and oily industries. For example, Cao Xueqin's family's Jiangning weaving industry.

That was no ordinary yamen, that was the monopoly of Jiangnan's high-grade silk products!

It was a hegemonic business conducted by the emperor with the authority of the state. How could a monopoly not be a windfall?

Then there was the Opium Wars, the thirteenth branch of Guangzhou, which was directly managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The local revenue collection system only received a small portion of it, and Bighead had to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs just the same!

It was because there were so many monopolistic businesses run by the Emperor throughout the country that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty had sufficient money to support the royal family's consumption.

The actions of Gui Ying and Bao Yun today was already a blatant challenge to the dignity of the little Emperor. Think about it, if an emperor couldn't even keep the money in his own pocket, how would the people of the world view him!

Only the heavens knew how much pressure Yi Yun had placed on the two of them, and Bao Yun was willing to sacrifice himself as well. The two of them knelt on the ground without saying a word, as if they were not going to achieve their goal and were going to kneel here to die.

Yi Yeyu glanced behind him, and the other assassins who had received the order also jumped out!

"Your Majesty is surprised! This humble subject has something to say! "

"Who are you?" Zai Chun roared.

"The Hanlin House cultivator, Feng Fu, greets the Emperor … Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, you have to give up your life to support the people of the world when the nation is in danger! "

"For the sake of the Land of the River and the Mountain, for the sake of the welfare of all the people, the Emperor of the former Ming Dynasty could call out the words of the Son of Heaven guarding the gates of the empire and the King's death!"

"Is Your Majesty not as good as the ancients? "Could it be that you can't even bear to part with the money in the end?"

"Besides, the Department of Revenue can also borrow them from the His Majesty! Could it be that I took it for nothing? "

"You!" Zai Chun was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he thought to himself, Could I borrow it? This year, Liu Bei has a lot of things to do in Jingzhou, and you still dare to ask me for loans!

Li Hongzao and Weng Tonghe were both dumbstruck. It was only then did the two realise that Feng Fu had also been bought by General Xie Zi Liu.

Weng Tonghe saw that this wasn't good, he couldn't allow the emperor to misunderstand that he was also a traitor, so he hurriedly glared at Feng Fu. You are just a little editor, did you forget your duty to come here to take charge of politics? "

"You were called here to compile the records and prepare the newspaper later! Not for you to speak, back down! "

"Let him talk!" Zai Chun immediately exploded: "Today, it seems like you guys have been holding back all the treasures in your stomachs!"

"Who else?!" Anyone else, come forward! "
