Chapter 619 (2/2)

After the explanation of the family order of Shaofu, if emperor Wende had realized this problem earlier, I would not have to worry about money every day.

In the past, the courtiers always suppressed commerce, saying that the merchants were cheap. Now, it seems that the court officials suppressed commerce, not necessarily because the merchants were cheap, but because they wanted to monopolize the market and to do exclusive business.

As soon as the imperial court cracked down on them, there was no way for ordinary businessmen to survive. Only those big businesses, those backed by aristocratic families, can continue to be active in the market.

However, when the imperial court was in trouble, they never saw these big merchants take money out, but they also dug my corner.

The courtiers only knew how to increase taxes on the common people, forcing them to die, to become bandits, to kill officials and to rebel.

Ha ha When I think about these things, I am the biggest fool in the world, the deaf, the blind and the poor.

Now I think that the problems that someone can solve with money are not big problems. That's true. The point is, I have no money! ”

Grandma's leg.

As an emperor, he was rich all over the world. As a result, he could not make ends meet every year.

This year, the Ministry of finance has collected more taxes, but it still has no money balance. To fill in the deficit of previous years, we should make up for the salaries of officials and soldiers.

I don't know if I don't know, but I can't find out until I check it out that the big soldiers in some places haven't received a single monthly salary for five years.

In other words, the court owed the soldiers money and food for five years.

In five years, it's an astronomical number.

What's more, if you haven't changed your clothes or weaponry for five years, you can make up for the past deficit by relying on the deduction of the account department. Only then can the whole army change its armaments.

If you don't have money to support soldiers, how can you expect the army to have combat effectiveness.

Emperor Wende is worried!

Count and count, there are only a few troops in Dazhou with real combat effectiveness.

Shaofu family order and Shaofu copper Cheng Gu Zhixin all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak up.

Shaofu family order guessed that someone in Wende's mouth should refer to Gu Jiu.

Only Gu Jiu can say that the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Bang!

Vander slapped on the table.

”Are you both dumb? I don't have money. What do you say? ”

Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu, said: The emperor was also called poor, and the ministers could not help it.

”Your Majesty, the income will increase next year, and the situation will be better.”

”I know it will be better, but it is not enough. Money is not enough! This year, the salary of Beijing officials has not been paid. Do you still owe two months' salary? ”

The magistrate nodded, ”it's snowing this year, and many places are suffering from snow disaster. For the time being, there is no money from the Ministry of household to pay salaries. ”

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, ”so I said, your speed is too slow. Private coin making is a violation of national law. Is there no better way to suppress the private coinage? I can't. I'll send Jin Wuwei out. ”

”Your Majesty, think twice! Don't send out jinwuwei! When Jin Wuwei moved, the people were in complete chaos. The old minister still said in the past, this matter has to be slowly planned. ”

Bang!

The emperor patted the table heavily, ”I can't wait. At least we have to get rid of all the private coins in the capital. What good ideas do you two have

The only way is to increase the number of official coins. However, the amount of brass mined by the imperial court is not enough to drive the privately minted coins out of the capital. ”

Emperor Wende asked angrily, ”where did the brass used for private coin casting come from? Why are they so large that the imperial court can't match the folk brass reserves? ”

”Your Majesty doesn't know about it. Since Zhongzong Dynasty, private mining has been rampant. Most of them are well-known families. To be honest with your majesty, many ministers in the court are secretly mining.In addition, many families are also mining secretly. Most of the copper mines they mined went into private banks. ”

”As an official of the court, mining Copper, why not sell it to the court?”

The young master's family made a wry smile, ”first, I'm afraid to leave a handle, and be settled after autumn. Second, the price of private purchase is often higher than that of the imperial court. ”

”Ridiculous! These bastards, moths, don't forget who feeds them. I don't want to share the worries for the imperial court and me. I dare to steal my corner. Damn it all, damn it

Emperor Wende kicked over the stool, smashed the teacup and threw the inkstone.

The hall was a mess.

The palace people all hold their breath, the atmosphere does not dare to breathe.

The young master's family made him nervous and calm.

For the first time, Gu Zhixin, the copper Prime Minister of Shaofu, shivered when he saw the angry appearance of emperor Wende.

Oh, my God!

The position of Shaofu Tongcheng looks brilliant and promising. Who would have thought that he would have to bear the wrath of emperor Wende all the time.

The courtiers also said that emperor Wende had a good temper.

It's not like I've seen Vander get angry.

After vent, Wende asked angrily, ”can't we cure them?”

A bitter smile came from the young master. He was the brother of Zhongzong emperor. He came from that time. He was too clear about the situation at that time.

He said, ”Your Majesty, be calm! The old minister said a very rebellious words, the reason why the private mining overflowed to an uncontrollable situation, the responsibility lies in Zhongzong.

At that time, Emperor Zhongzong favored the imperial concubine Su, so his father and brother were allowed to open a mine, and he was allowed to choose a mine, with the full cooperation of the local government. This is the beginning of the opening of private mineral resources.

Later, the emperor ascended the throne. Although the Su family members were killed, the imperial concubine of Su was also put into the guanye temple. However, the custom of privately opening mines has been rampant, and the emperor did not stop it at the first time. Over the past few decades, it has become the present situation. ”

Emperor Wende said:

I want to cry!

What to do?

Other families are sons.

Come to him and change to Laozi's son and his son's grandson.

He is the grandson of the pit!

MMP, the ancestor of bullshit.

At this moment, Emperor Wende even had an impulse to move the tablet of Zhongzong out of Fengxian hall and smash it to pieces!

Wende is so rebellious, no problem!
