”I won't tell you if I have the money!” Even if they do, they don't have the share you want! It's simply lawless! ”

”After flipping through the annual accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how much silver did your Ministry of Revenue send to the treasury? It's only around a hundred thousand a year! ”

”Take a look at the historical records. From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and then to the Ming Dynasty, how much silver did the treasury take away from the Ministry of Revenue? My Great Qing Dynasty already has enough savings, and you still dare to extend your hand to us? ”

Zai Chun's scolding was right, compared to the Qing Dynasty, the amount of silver that the treasury extended towards the imperial government every year was not much. On average, it would only ask for around a hundred thousand taels of silver a year!

Of course, this was not to say that the Qing Dynasty's emperor lived a frugal life, but rather that the Emperor's treasury, which was also the Ministry of Internal Affairs, had too many ways to earn money!

There were royal estates all over the country, these taxes did not enter the household and directly entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

There were countless industries in the whole of Ministry of Internal Affairs, and most of them were in the oily and oily industries. For example, Cao Xueqin's family's Jiangning weaving industry.

That was no ordinary yamen, that was the monopoly of Jiangnan's high-grade silk products!

It was a hegemonic business conducted by the emperor with the authority of the state. How could a monopoly not be a windfall?

Then there was the Opium Wars, the thirteenth branch of Guangzhou, which was directly managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The local revenue collection system only received a small portion of it, and Bighead had to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs just the same!

It was because there were so many monopolistic businesses run by the Emperor throughout the country that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty had sufficient money to support the royal family's consumption.

The actions of Gui Ying and Bao Yun today was already a blatant challenge to the dignity of the little Emperor. Think about it, if an emperor couldn't even keep the money in his own pocket, how would the people of the world view him!

Only the heavens knew how much pressure Yi Yun had placed on the two of them, and Bao Yun was willing to sacrifice himself as well. The two of them knelt on the ground without saying a word, as if they were not going to achieve their goal and were going to kneel here to die.

Yi Yeyu glanced behind him, and the other assassins who had received the order also jumped out!

”Your Majesty is surprised! This humble subject has something to say! ”

”Who are you?” Zai Chun roared.

”The Hanlin House cultivator, Feng Fu, greets the Emperor … Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, you have to give up your life to support the people of the world when the nation is in danger! ”

”For the sake of the Land of the River and the Mountain, for the sake of the welfare of all the people, the Emperor of the former Ming Dynasty could call out the words of the Son of Heaven guarding the gates of the empire and the King's death!”

”Is Your Majesty not as good as the ancients? ”Could it be that you can't even bear to part with the money in the end?”

”Besides, the Department of Revenue can also borrow them from the His Majesty! Could it be that I took it for nothing? ”

”You!” Zai Chun was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he thought to himself, Could I borrow it? This year, Liu Bei has a lot of things to do in Jingzhou, and you still dare to ask me for loans!

Li Hongzao and Weng Tonghe were both dumbstruck. It was only then did the two realise that Feng Fu had also been bought by General Xie Zi Liu.

Weng Tonghe saw that this wasn't good, he couldn't allow the emperor to misunderstand that he was also a traitor, so he hurriedly glared at Feng Fu. You are just a little editor, did you forget your duty to come here to take charge of politics? ”

”You were called here to compile the records and prepare the newspaper later! Not for you to speak, back down! ”

”Let him talk!” Zai Chun immediately exploded: ”Today, it seems like you guys have been holding back all the treasures in your stomachs!”

”Who else?!” Anyone else, come forward! ”
