Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

If one did not manage to manage it well, one would not know how expensive Chai Mi was. Indeed, the Great Qing had a large population, with a treasury of over ten million taels a year. If it was placed in any country, it would count as a huge sum of money, but there were also a lot that came in.

Although they were mostly bookworms with different economies, but no matter what, after staying in the imperial court for so many years, they were still more familiar with the affairs of the society than those senior students. If they were not joking in a war, then they would have to make use of money.

Ci Xi saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and his eyes immediately lit up: "I do not care what method you use, but the emperor cannot afford to let anything go wrong. This is the most righteous sole child of the Great Qing. For a thousand years, the late emperor only had this one child! "

"Heh heh, the Southern Witch Hair, you guys are willing to spend your money just to fight and kill, you're also willing to spend your money to return to the chaos in Ganshan Province, and you're also willing to rebel on Yaqub in Xinjiang! Zuo Zongtang took away the military expenditure of ten million silver, your majesty is in danger now, but the imperial government doesn't even have a single silver coin? "

She knew that she was getting further and further away from the center of power. Even if this Great Qing was good or bad, it had nothing to do with her, as of now, her only hope was her son.

According to her calculations, as long as she could endure until her son was in charge of the affairs of the clan, he would still have to follow the Mother. After all, he was someone who came from her own womb.

Therefore, even though she knew that there was no money in the treasury and no new soldiers in the army, she did not care about it at all.

When the people present heard Ci Xi's unheard sarcasm, all of their faces turned awkward. Especially Ci An, who was extremely disappointed with his;

However, she was still a victim. Since her son had been assassinated, her mood was understandable, so no one dared to refute her.

Ci Xi had become a little crazy today. When she saw that the Head Elder Fu Qing had not said a word since he recalled him, an unnamed fire rose in his heart.

She cursed silently in her heart. Did this wretched couple secretly do whatever they wanted on the Jingshan? Did they think that everyone was blind? You, Fu Qing, previously handled the special area, making the telegraph line jump up and down in a bustling manner, why are you suddenly so quiet now?

You want to lower your head and pretend to be a grandson? No way, I will never let you off!

Ci Xi looked at Qing San Ye's tall and sturdy body, and then looked at his manly and strong face, and couldn't help but to gulp down a mouthful of saliva.

Damn it, this Ci An was too unruly, to have hooked up with such a good man. Looking at Yi Xiao's flabby look, there was no way he could have such a good physique compared to Fu Qing.

Ci Xi thought that among all the men who were close to him, only Rong Lu's looks could be compared with Fu Qing's. But that trash, Rong Lu, actually thought twice and became Xi'an's general.

Not good, not good anywhere, an evil fire was attacking his heart everywhere, Ci Xi decided that if he was not happy, he couldn't let the enemies be happy.

"Say something? Why are you all mute … Hehe, Fu Qing! Qing San Ye? What are you staring at? You haven't said a word at today's meeting! "

When Fu Qing heard this strange voice, he was so frightened that he quickly kneeled down and kowtowed. "This servant doesn't tolerate a single word of yours. "This servant did not say a word, but because the errand does not involve the military, I do not dare to speak carelessly …"

"You don't dare to speak nonsense? How dare you say that! It's none of your business if you're in the military, but you're in charge of quite a lot of the duties in this account department … You can pay six million silver taels to cultivate this Northern Sea and Jingshan. If your majesty is in trouble, why don't you pretend to be mute?! "

The furious roar of Ci Xi frightened Fu Qing to the point that his face turned white, "This servant … Slave … How would I dare to get involved with the Department of Revenue's work, I am just a link, allowing Letian Firm to accept a portion of the Department of Revenue's debt, that's all! "

"Great!" Your Qing San Ye is truly capable, he filled in the debt of six million silver just like that … Master Lin, tell me, how much money does the Ministry of Revenue still owe us? "

Minister Lin of the Department of Revenue and Yi Xiao looked at each other and thought to themselves, "This is really a pillow out of drowsiness. The two of them were discussing about this in the pine forest just now, and this was Letian Firm's idea."

According to President Lin's method, since the Letian Firm could accept a debt of 6 million, and it wasn't difficult at all, why not give them some national debt? In any case, the Letian Firm and the bank also had ways to sell them.

However, they were clear that if they wanted to take money from a merchant, especially from a Ryukyu, their reputation would be terrible. Furthermore, Xiao Letian's temper would also be bad.

Hence, Yi Nan and Old Lin frowned as they thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a good way to push Fu Qing down. But he never expected Ci Xi to fire his first shot today, this was just too timely.

"To report to the empress dowager, the Ministry of Revenue's debt problem has been rising ever since Daoguang's last year, especially after 20 years of Daoguang's war with Britain. The state treasury has become increasingly empty, but at that time, it can still be maintained …"

"However, ever since the long-hair disaster struck the south half of the kingdom, our money bag has been completely emptied. Every year, our Ministry of Revenue runs into a deficit of more than three to four million silver taels. The amount of money and grains sent to the capital by the provinces is less than half of what it used to be …"

"Enough, you nag endlessly. I'll ask you how many white bars you have …" Ci Xi was so angry that he almost broke his fingernails.

"Thirty million …" "Reporting to the empress dowager, the Ministry of Revenue currently owes a huge amount of tax money and grain worth of 30 million silver taels over the years!"

With a boom, the entire Kiki's tower erupted into chaos. No one expected the hole in the account department would be this big. In fact, they did not know that the Minister of Revenue had actually played a word game. He calculated the loopholes based on the tax levels of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and after ten years, the treasury had decreased by more than 30 million silver taels compared to before the war.

However, accounts could not be calculated in this way. The Southern Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already built a capital Jinling, and several provinces had already become enemies. Then, how could the tax from those few years' enemies' be added to the hole in the Great Clear Account?

Being trapped in the Department of Household Old Forest was giving the imperial government a chance to bargain. According to his calculations, as long as he had 10 million taels of wealth for the Qing Dynasty, all the financial difficulties would be solved.
