Chapter 534 The next day, in the morning, Tang Yin looked refreshed and full of energy, he sat on the king's chair, looked around at the ministers below, and said: "If there is something to do, play early, and there is nothing to retreat." ” "Weichen has something to play" Shangguan Yuanji walked out of the train and bowed deeply to Tang Yin.
"What does Yuanji have to play?"
asked Tang Yin.
Shangguan Yuanji Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, the flood in Lingdong County has become more and more intense, and now it has affected Lingnan County. ” Tang Yin frowned, in his impression, wasn't this matter already settled He asked: "There is also a request to the imperial court for the distribution of disaster relief silver taels" "Yes, King" "Didn't you say that the counties that were affected by the disaster should find their own solutions?"
Shangguan Yuanji smiled bitterly, Tang Yin meant to collect money from the big households in the affected counties to help the refugees, but those big families were also affected by the disaster, even if the family had a lot of savings, it was impossible to take them all out.
Shangguan Yuanji said: "The money collected by the two counties of Lingdong and Lingnan is not much, and it is far from enough to ask the refugees for help. ” Tang Yin sighed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhang Zhe" "The minister is here" Zhang Zhe hurriedly walked out.
Tang Yin asked: "How many silver taels are available in the treasury at present?"
Zhang Zhe swallowed and foamed, shook his head, and said, "There is not much left. ” Tang Yin rolled his eyes and asked, "How much is it?"
Zhang Zhe said in a low voice: "Less than a million taels." ” "What is less than a million" Tang Yin almost couldn't believe his ears when he heard this, even when he was the head of the county, there were millions of taels of silver in the county treasury, and the dignified treasury did not even have a million taels He stood in shape, wandering back and forth around the table, and after walking for a while, he asked: "What about the money and the silver in the treasury?"
Tang Yin usually basically doesn't care about anything, especially government affairs, there is less contact, generally Shangguan Yuanji can handle it, he will deal with it directly, and will not push it to Tang Yin, he has not paid much attention to the treasury, and now he heard that there is not even a million taels of silver in the treasury, Tang Yin is really a little anxious.
"King, in the past two years, my country's imperial court has changed, the monarch has changed frequently, the war has continued, the silver in the treasury has long been exhausted, where is there any spare money to use, when the minister served as the imperial doctor, the silver in the treasury did not even have 100,000 taels" Speaking of this, Zhang Zhe paused, and stopped talking.
Tang Yin said upsetly: "If you have anything to say, just say it in one go, don't spit it out." ” Zhang Zhe no longer hesitated, and continued: "The king's increase in troops requires money, and the purchase and manufacture of armaments, military funds, and war horses require money, and in addition, all the lords and generals have just been given the title of the king, and everyone wants to build official residences and mansions, and the king has approved them all, and the silver taels required are all from the treasury.
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, glanced at Shangguan Yuanji from the corner of his eye, and continued: "Just to build the right prime minister's mansion of Shangguan Prime Minister, the cost is no less than 300,000 taels of silver. ” Hearing this, Tang Yin was secretly surprised, that's right, what Zhang Zhe said is indeed the truth, but these adults and generals under his command can be called the founding fathers, and they are all people who have made great contributions In fact, if it was the founding of the country, it would not be a big deal for the founding fathers to build official residences on a large scale, but the Fengguo that Tang Yin took over was a mess full of holes.
Zhang Zhe has never mentioned this matter, in his opinion, Tang Yin is not to blame for doing this, but also a manifestation of affection and righteousness, the monarch who can treat his courtiers well can be called a good monarch, and what he can bear should try his best to help Tang Yin bear it, but now there are floods in the two counties of the Wind Country, countless refugees, displacement, and it seems that the form of the flood is likely to turn into a large-scale famine, the situation is serious, he turned his heart sideways, and simply said what he had always wanted to say in front of the Chinese military officials.
After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, the hall was silent, and many people slowly lowered their heads, at this time, Shangguan Yuan let him quit, he strode out, and shouted angrily at Zhang Zhe: "Zhang Zhe, there are so many people who build the official residence, why do you just count my eldest brother, what are your intentions?"
Zhang Zhe's face turned pale and said: "It's just a matter of facts, and I don't mean to target anyone."
Shangguan Yuanrang was about to speak, Shangguan Yuanji had already coughed lowly, interrupted his words, and said in a deep voice: "Yuanrang must not be rude to Lord Zhang" As he spoke, he turned to Tang Yin and gave a deep salute and said: "King, now that the national strength is empty, it is indeed not the time to build a large number of buildings, and Weichen's family also has a lot of savings, and it is no problem to buy a house in the capital, please take back the king's order and build the right minister's mansion, or discuss it later."
Even the dignified right minister Shangguan Yuanji took the initiative to stand up and push down the official residence under construction, where did the other civil officials and military generals dare to hesitate, people came out one after another, knelt down to Tang Yin in unison, and said in unison: "Please take back the king's order, and the matter of building the official residence will be discussed later."
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji, and then at the others, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
He walked down the royal steps, came to the front of the ministers, helped the people up one by one, and said quietly: "All along, you have been fighting with me in the north and south, born and died, I don't know how much blood and sweat have been shed, and now I am finally gathered in the court, as the king of a country, I still want to let you live a hard life, this is my incompetence."
This sentence almost made everyone present cry, and the ministers who were supported by Tang Yin all knelt down one after another, with tears in their eyes, and said in unison: "It's the incompetence of the ministers and the inability of the ministers to solve the king's worries."
Among the voices, there is only one sentence that is out of place, Zhang Zhe.
Zhang Zhe knelt on the ground and kowtowed, while shouting loudly at the same time: "My Wang Shengming" Regardless of whether Tang Yin's words were sincere or intentional, they did move the ministers a lot, and they willingly stopped building the house, and were willing to return the silver allocated by the treasury to the treasury, but this does not mean that there is no mustard in everyone's hearts, of course people don't blame Tang Yin, and almost all the unhappiness in their hearts poured out on Zhang Zhe's head.
Zhang Zhe doesn't care what his colleagues think of him, he just wants to live with peace of mind and do what he thinks is right.
Zhang Zhe's insight made Yancheng, which was in the midst of a major construction project, return to its former calm, whether it was a civil official or a military general, those who had money bought a house to live in, and those who had no money rented a house to live in, anyway, it was impossible to get money from Zhang Zhe again.
Tang Yin looked sad and angry on the surface, but he nodded secretly in his heart, saving the ministers the cost of building official residences, which should make the treasury a lot more sufficient.
He looked around at everyone, and saw that everyone seemed to be a little depressed, Tang Yin smiled slightly, and said: "My country is full of mountains and rivers, there are not many fertile fields, although we are poor, but our neighbors are very rich" As he spoke, Tang Yin turned around, looked at the map of Hedong that was still hanging on the wall, stretched out his hand, and said: "There is a huge treasure basin, as long as the east of the river is laid, the grain and treasures there will all be ours, and at that time, let alone build a right prime minister's mansion, even if it is more than enough to build ten or a hundred" His words lifted everyone's spirits, and people raised their heads one after another, and their eyes were shining at the map of Hedong.
Tang Yin said slowly: "Zhong Tian left us a poor and white court, so what we want has to rely on our own hands to plunder, glory and wealth, and we have to rely on our own hands to create."
"King, fight Hedong" Seeing that everyone listened to the excitement, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji naturally did not waste this excellent opportunity, and both of them knelt on the ground and shouted.
"The king hits the east of the river" "The king hits the east of the river" There are left and right prime ministers taking the lead, and the civil and military officials below also shouted in unison.
Tang Yin has a flexible mind and quick thinking, as long as he has the opportunity, he can firmly grasp it and turn the factors that are unfavorable to him into factors that are beneficial to him.
The recovery of the money built by the ministers not only did not cause dissatisfaction and rejection among the ministers, but also completely aroused the positive surnames of the people who seized the Hedong region.
This is Tang Yin's ability.
After the dispersal, Tang Yin returned to the study, and before his buttocks were hot, a guard came to report recently, and Lotte asked to see him.
Hearing that Lotte was coming, Tang Yin's face suddenly showed joy, and he didn't even think about it, and said, "Let Lotte come closer."
"Yes, King" The guard said yes and hurried out.
After a short time, Lotte approached from outside, and before he could speak, Tang Yin couldn't wait to ask: "But the king has sent back the news."
Lotte was stunned, and wondered if Tang Yin would be an unpredictable prophet.
He nodded, intervened, and said, "The last general has just received a letter from Lord Wang. ” "Bring it to me."
Wang Fang was a historian sent to Du Ji by Tang Yin, and his reply was related to the joint battle between the Wind Country and Du Ji, which was very important.
Lotte didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Tang Yin.
The letter sent back by Wang Fang is a flying pigeon biography, of course it will not be so big, the content of it is written by Lotte according to the flying pigeon biography, one is that the letter is too small, it looks laborious, and secondly, many of the contents in it are the internal terms of Tianyan, and Tang Yin can't understand it.
Unfolding the letter, Tang Yin read the contents from beginning to end, and then, he laughed, slapped the letter on the table, and said: "The big thing has been accomplished":
