Seeing that Xu Changqing was so angry that he was about to jump to his feet, Li Chen frowned and said: "What is the good thing to say, what kind of body does it look like this? Is there any appearance of the minister of the imperial court?"

Xu Changqing was still angry, and he said: "Your Highness, these people are really too shameless.

"Some time ago, relying on the thunderous means of His Highness, the treasury was full of a lot, although nearly 20 million taels of silver were credited to the account, but in the face of the embarrassing situation of the entire empire now, silver had to be spent everywhere, so it can only be said to alleviate the urgent need of the imperial court.

"But the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the cardinal departments, and even the political envoys of the provinces all heard the wind and moved, and one by one they thought of ways to reach out and ask for money.

"For example, the Ministry of Industry reported that there were three water dams that needed to be built, and because the treasury had been running out of money, the matter had been dragged on, and now it was going to take six million taels with one mouth.

"That's it for the Ministry of Industry, after all, it is to fight against natural disasters, and it was indeed set by the Holy God and the Cabinet at the beginning, but even the Ministry of Rites came together, saying that under the natural disaster, the people everywhere should pray for God's blessing, and ask the imperial court to repair the temples in various places, and one mouth is four million taels. "

The most excessive is the Ministry of War, saying that the military salary has been in arrears for half a year, and it is necessary to take away 11 million taels to pay the military salary, and just the report sent by Yulinwei Zhao Jianye will take away 2.26 million taels

!" "In this way, this more than 10 million taels of silver cannot be said to be for the use of the imperial court, and it is not enough to satisfy these three yamen!"

Li

Chen frowned slightly when he heard this.

His and Xu Changqing's identities are different, and they look at problems from different angles.

Xu Changqing was angry that these three mouths opened too big and too fast, and he was about to empty out his family foundation that he had finally filled a little bit at once.

But Li Chen smelled a hint of political conspiracy from it.

"Did they come at the same time?" asked Li Chen.

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Back to His Highness, it's not at the same time, but it's also the kung fu of the front and back feet, especially that Zhao Jianye, who said that Yu Linwei's military salary has been in arrears for many months, and Yu Linwei is directly responsible for the safety of the Beijing Division, so he must not afford to lose, and the important minister approved his application within one day and transferred the silver over."

"Yu Linwei's military salary, is it really in arrears?" Li Chen asked.

Xu Changqing immediately replied: "Your Highness, you also know the situation of the treasury, the arrears of military salaries, in fact, not only Yu Linwei, just like the imperial court is organizing an army, almost all of them are in arrears of military salaries, two or three months for better, and half a year for longer."

"However, Yu Linwei is more special, and has always been the pro-army of the saint, so the treatment and military salary are also the most timely payment, and this matter has always been directly responsible for the Ministry of War.

"This matter

, the palace knows, the Ministry of Industry, you drag it first, as for the Ministry of War and Zhao Jianye..."

Li Chen sneered and said: "You go and call the Ministry of War, Shangshu Xi Wanli and Zhao Jianye, and want to take the silver, but these silver are all from the palace, and they will take it away as soon as they reach out?"

Xu Changqing immediately bowed when he heard this, and said happily: "Obey the order, the minister will go." Soon

after Xu Changqing left, Xi Wanli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was the first to go to the East Palace because he was working in the Ministry of War.

As soon as he entered the door, he arched his hand lightly and said, "Minister, Xi Wanli, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." "

Xu Changqing said, do you want 11 million taels of silver to pay the military salary?" Li Chen asked.

"Exactly. Xi Wanli's expression was flat and replied.

"The geometry of the national army, whether the establishment is full, and the amount of military salary owed by each number, there is nothing, and you reach out and ask for silver?" Li Chen asked coldly.

Xi Wanli sneered and said: "These things, the ministers have already reported to the cabinet, that is, listen to them with His Royal Highness the Prince, can His Royal Highness understand? The matter of military salaries is not child's play, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still wants to be safe and secure in the country, it is better to let Xu Changqing transfer the silver quickly, otherwise it will ......

" "Otherwise, what!?"

Li Chen shouted angrily, his voice shook the world like thunder, he pointed at Xi Wanli and asked: "

Otherwise, the country will not be able to Tai, and the people will be uneasy!?"
