”The Changjiang Stronghold is the richest and wealthiest place in Great Qing Province. Moreover, the safety of the river defense also determines the safety of the Grand Canal's navigation system. Your Majesty, the north needs the food and goods from the south.
”Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. We will build the Jiang Yin Stronghold!”
Hearing that, Bao Yun immediately jumped up: ”You are right, just buying the first batch of cannons and manpower required us to pay two million, later on, we even have to invest every year, the Ministry of Revenue does not have the money!”
”Money money!” All you have left is silver, is it the mountains in Great Qing or the silver that is more important? ”
”Don't force me, even if the Department of Revenue doesn't have any money, I can't give it to you! I, as the master of this Great Qing, can't learn how to make tea in this alley everyday! ”
”If you open your mouth and mouth, money can fall from the sky?”
He kowtowed to the Tongzhi Emperor who was sitting on the throne and said, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, I have heard a very bizarre rumor in the market these few days!”
”According to the foreigners in the eastern suburbs, the His Majesty received a large amount of silver from Britain? I wonder if this news is true? ”
Silence! Dead silence! The entire Yangxin Palace could hear the sound of a needle dropping!
Xiang Zhuang's sword intent was like an official's, after causing so much trouble, Zai Chun finally understood that these people were actually after him!
What Queen, what industrialization, what Steel plant, what expropriation of land, everything was useless! It was all a feint. They had set up a trap to lure the topic over to the silver taels one step at a time!
”Your Majesty!” he said righteously. Some of the people in the market said that the British had given the His Majesty 15 million gold taels in non-aid! ”
”Hahaha …” ”This has really saved the life of the imperial government. Please allocate two million to the Jiang Yin Stronghold!”
Bao Yun also cupped his hands and said, ”Your Majesty... Initially, this subject thought that it was just a rumour in the market, but after hearing the news, even the foreigners from East Crossing Folk Lane were discussing about it! ”
”Your Majesty, please tell me whether or not you have this money …” If there is, I hope His Majesty would have sent this money to the Department of Revenue sooner.
See you at the end of the road! So it turns out that the biggest conspiracy of the assembly was asking for money, and all of them had extended their hands to the emperor's personal treasury!
Zai Chun was still a teenager after all, he lacked a lot of energy recovery skills. When he heard this, he could not help but get angry!
”Enough! I told you to talk about the Steel plant, you Wang Gu talked about him, what silver! You don't want to do your job without money? ”
”All of you are officials of the imperial government, but you've all heard the rumours. How do you feel!?”
”Your Majesty!” This official does not dare to disrespect you, this official just wants to know if the rumors are true or not! ”
”Whether or not we have this military support, His Majesty can clear this matter up with just one sentence! Do you have it or not? ”
Bao Yun also impatiently said: ”That's right, if we do not have this money, then our imperial government will think of a way, but if there is really this money, then we better put it in the treasury!”
”His Majesty is the lord of this world, so he should have the heart and soul to serve the public. At this time, we should stop dividing the internal and external coffers!”
Saying that, Bao Yun's heart ached and he knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down his face, ”The imperial government... ”The imperial government is truly too poor. There's really no way to turn it …”
Hi... Zai Chun was so angry that he could no longer speak, and his hands were already trembling.
Yi Yeyu was watching with a cold face, yet she didn't say a word. However, inside her heart, she was overjoyed!
”Brat, let's see how you'll break out of today's competition!”
