But correspondingly.
The people are miserable, and the treasury is empty.
Some people are living a more nourishing life than before.
Li Ye smiled, his eyes swept over Cixi, Qin Hui, He Shen, Qian Qianyi and others one by one.
The treasury has no money and food?
But Li Ye knew.
Just take Cixi, the empress dowager of the East Palace, as an example.
Every meal Cixi must have is no less than 120 dishes, which does not include at least 40 snacks per meal.
It can be described as delicacies from mountains and seas, and it has almost all the special delicacies from all parts of the world.
In the imperial dining room, there are more than a hundred cooks who are responsible for cooking for Cixi every day!
Every year, Cixi just spends more than 20 taels of silver just on food!
What's more, there are also playing, summer vacation, hunting every once in a while...
Before the Battle of Tumubao, Cixi held an unprecedentedly grand 50th birthday banquet. This birthday banquet alone cost a full 600 million taels of silver!
Every year, the Ci Ning Palace where Ci Xi resides costs at least 1000 million taels!
What a concept! ?
Take the three most elite battalions in Great Xia as an example.
The three major battalions are the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion.
There are 10 infantry, 5 cavalry, and some archers and crossbowmen.
The three battalions add up to a total of more than [-] troops.
The annual military expenditure is only a mere 400 million taels!
At present, Daxia's annual fiscal revenue will only be 6000 million taels of silver!
In other words.
The Ci Ning Palace, where Cixi is located, will cost two and a half five barracks of military expenses and one-sixth of Daxia's fiscal revenue for one year alone!
This kind of income, just relying on the royal family's own treasury, is naturally far from enough.
What should I do?
Ever since, Cixi blatantly withdraws from the treasury in such a name!
Military expenditures, disaster relief expenditures, agricultural expenditures, Ministry of Industry expenditures...
There is no fund, which Cixi dare not embezzle.
There is a Empress Dowager like Cixi in the Great Xia State, which is really "fortunate luck".
And this is just a Cixi.
Qin Hui, He Shen, Qian Qianyi...
These people only listen to their names, so how can they be Yi Yi's generation?
With a group of people like them here, how can there be any money and food left in Daxia's treasury! ?
No matter how big and fat the sheep are, they can't stand being squeezed like this.
Li Ye's gaze was still calm, and he looked directly at He Shen from Cixi's body: "Where is the Minister of the Household Department?"
Li Ye's eyes were unusually calm, without any waves.
But it was just such a simple look at He Shen.
It has already made the latter feel a lot of pressure.
The originally straight waist could not help but slightly lowered.
After a moment of silence, he still bent down and cupped his hands: "The minister is here."
Li Ye put his left hand on the table, and pointed his right hand at He Shen: "Tell me, according to the statistics of your household department, how much food is left in the treasury?"
"This……"
He Shen lowered his head, but did not speak.
Squinting his eyes, he subconsciously looked at Cixi beside Li Ye.
Cixi sneered, but nodded slowly towards Cixi.
Now, He Shen replied in a straightforward manner: "Your Majesty, the treasury currently has less than 50 silver, less than [-] shi of grain, less than [-] pairs of armor, [-] horses, and more than [-] various equipment... ..."
When He Shen said this, the more he said, the more guilty he felt.
after all.
A great summer.
The vast territory is more than thousands of miles?
As a result, there is only so little left in the treasury, which is no longer poor.
This is simply that the treasury can run away mice.
50 taels of silver?
Not to mention the payment of military salaries to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army and the Fifth Army Battalion, this is even the basic operation of the Great Xia, and it is almost unbearable.
I'm afraid it's not enough to cover the monthly expenses of the Compassionate Peace Palace.
Forty thousand shi of grain, that is, half a month's grain for an army of [-].
In other words, before the Xiongnu army arrived, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Forbidden Army and the Fifth Army Battalion would run out of food first.
And the pitiful war horses, armor, equipment...
Not to mention Daxia, I am afraid that any small prince who ruled one side may be richer than Daxia's treasury.
I am the Minister of the Household Department for this purpose.
When telling these data, Rao Heshen himself felt a little ashamed and panicked with embarrassment.
Yet this is the truth.
This is five years after Li Zhen and Cixi came to power.
The mess left by Li Ye.
Empress Dowager Cixi on the side naturally held herself high as nothing to do with herself.
There was even a shameless sneer on his face.
It's such a mess, she really wants to see how Li Ye will end up?
Not caring about it at all, Li Ye's indifferent expression revealed a trace of killing intent.
"Faintly" glanced at Cixi, and then Li Ye continued to cast his gaze on Heshen: "How much money and food will be allocated to the royal treasury in the budget of the Ministry of Household this year?"
After this sentence.
The original smile on Cixi's face disappeared, and cold sweat dripped down He Shen's face.
(6th update!! Emmmm family members, I voluntarily updated, and I also voluntarily waited to code all night, the blade did not arrive at my door... Finally, I beg for free power generation with love, and please help Shuhuang Square publicity Next, let me be more motivated to code all night)
Chapter 73 Is this also in His Majesty's plan?
"Emperor, you don't need to take care of the budget allocated by the Ministry of Households to the royal treasury."
Cixi's cold voice came.
Following Li Ye's questioning just now.
Even in Cixi's heart, she couldn't help being startled.
At the moment she doesn't know where.
This Li Ye is so frenzied that he actually put his idea on the royal treasury! ?
To know.
Although the royal treasury is nominally under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor.
But in the past few years, she, Cixi, has been in control.
Naturally, most of the money and food in the royal treasury went to Cixi's Cining Palace.
It is an extravagant expenditure for Cixi.
At this moment, Li Ye suddenly asked about the royal treasury, so he naturally had a plan for the money and food in the royal treasury.
"I am the emperor of Great Xia."
The expression on Li Ye's face was still calm, but his gaze towards Cixi was more and more moved: "This royal treasury is naturally owned by me. Why does the queen mother think that I am a big Xia? Emperor, aren't you qualified to intervene in the matter of Neiku?"
At the same time as he finished speaking, Li Ye pressed his right hand on the jade seal, and the corner of his mouth flashed a slight arc.
Matching that Noyue's eyes.
Empress Dowager Cixi burst into anger.
no way.
If Li Ye was really just a puppet emperor, what he said would naturally have no weight at all.
But the problem is.
Right now in this Qianqing palace.
Occupying the right time, place and people, Li Ye can export Cixi unscrupulously with his backing on the commanding height of righteousness.
But, she, Cixi, didn't have any rebuttal at all.
He gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
Cixi wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing this, Li Ye smiled even more: "It seems that the Queen Mother has acquiesced."
