There was a silence in the Light Hall of the Daming Palace.

All civil and military officials were numbed by the shock that had not yet been relieved and then rose again.

If they had said that before, they just felt that the sky was about to change.

Then now, they really felt that the sky had changed!

They were also shocked by Emperor Longzheng's acuteness and courage!

However, they felt a little early...

"Sun Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"

Su Peisheng chanted sharply.

In the civil service team, the fat man of the past and the fat man nowadays, Sun Cheng, who was many times more haggard, was shocked when he heard this, his whole body was filled with tears and laughter. He stood out, knelt on the ground, his voice changed, and he responded: "I am here."

Su Peisheng glanced, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "You should guard the country's servants for the court for your plan. I ask you, how many national servants are there in the treasury today? At the end of March, the deficits over the years have been collected, and 10 million taels have accumulated. How many taels are there now?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng crawled on the ground, his body trembled violently, and said in a trembling voice: "Reply to Your Majesty's question, the Ministry of Revenue... Now, there are only 380,000 twelve twelve two nationalities left..."

"Wow!"

All officials were in an uproar.

The great Qin Dynasty has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the people are billions of dollars.

The tax burden of tens of millions of taels per year is only tens of millions of taels now, and it is only halfway through, and there are only 380,000 taels left to deposit silver?

Is this little money enough to hold funerals for the Supreme Emperor?

Originally, he thought that Emperor Longzheng asked about the situation of the treasury when he went to court on the first day, and threatened the officials who had lost their emperor's demeanor, and had nothing to say.

Even the wooden Ma Qi frowned slightly and looked at Sun Cheng on the ground with a deep look.

Too much...

Emperor Longzheng himself did not expect that there were only 380,000 taels of silver in the treasury.

He thought that it would be two million taels after all, and the funeral of Emperor Daxing must be completed.

now……

Every day, the money is spent like flowing, and only the ice mirror in the palace is used, and hundreds of taels of silver are consumed in one day.

Other curtains, incense, candles, gold, silver, ingots, etc., don’t know how much money it will cost in a day.

A mere 380,000 taels of silver could not even hold on to half of the burial!

The key is that Emperor Longzheng's own inner warehouse is no longer worth the money!

Last time, Jia Huan gave him more than 2 million taels of silver that had cheated Sun Cheng's family, and he used it to develop the CRRC Mansion...

Now, how to send a mourning to Emperor Daxing?

The Supreme Emperor's Interior Affairs Office is still in the hands of the Ninth Prince.

Even if I take it back now, looking at Lao Jiu's gloating look, I know that he is a confused account again, and 80% of the warehouse is not much money.

He could only wait for this time, and then send Emperor Daxing to Xiaoling to the Mausoleum, and then slowly settle it with him.

So, what should I do now?

Emperor Longzheng, who thought that he would just dismiss Sun Cheng from office today and did not want to fight on the first day, was shocked and angry at this moment, with his eyes wide open, full of anger, and his eyes were like he wanted to eat people!

He suppressed his anger first, and gave a look to Su Peisheng, who was at a loss, and then went into battle himself and called out: "Sun Cheng."

Hearing the sound of Emperor Longzheng's ability to freeze all the bones, Sun Cheng's body trembled even more and responded in a trembling voice: "I'm here."

Emperor Long Zheng suppressed his anger and said slowly: "I ask you, in just two months, the treasury recovered the ten million taels of silver that the national treasury recovered was in short supply, but there was no deficit?"

Sun Cheng trembled and said, "Your Majesty, the capital city is big, and it is not easy to live in. The capital officials are poor, so many of them have borrowed them."

After all, he was an old official. After a little bit of consciousness, he answered impeccable and even pulled all his allies for himself...

As expected, all the civil and military officials in the court, even the nobles, nodded together...

Emperor Longzheng became more angry when he heard this, and his voice suddenly increased. He roared: "The capital officials are innocent? Is they innocent or the people are innocent?

Your salary and salary are the people's wealth and paste.

You are dizzy and mediocre, and the country is incompetent, which makes the people suffer.

But he still has a salary and dares to complain!

Treasury taxes and silver all come from the people.

The people are living a harder life, why don’t you lend them some?”

The roar of Emperor Long Zheng made many people disagree.

Can some people compare with them?

But it also changed the expressions of many people slightly.

At least, the anger on Jia Huan's face has been reduced a lot.

An emperor who can keep the people in mind...

Forget it, just promote it.

Even if you have the title of Taiwei, you will be just another Nantian...

Among all the officials, Li Guang's face was a bit complicated, but he still had more praise.

As for Zhang Tingyu, he looked at Emperor Longzheng with awe of Chongyi.

The emperor cares about the people and should be a wise ruler!

Emperor Longzheng looked at Sun Cheng with his eyes blazing fire and said angrily: "As a national plan, he cannot prepare for the court. The Emperor's great funeral cannot even take out the silver to enter the Xiaoling Mausoleum. You dare to argue!

Where are the imperial guards?”

Four black armored guards with swords stepped forward and responded in a deep voice: "Here!"

"Take this dereliction of duty and get me into the heavenly prison!"

Emperor Longzheng narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"Here!"

The four of them dragged Sun Cheng, who was limping on the ground, and took him out of the hall.

"Zhang Tingyu!"

After Emperor Longzheng glanced at the officials who were as cold as a cicada, a sarcastic disdain flashed across his face, and then said in a deep voice.

Zhang Tingyu stepped out without any speed and bowed to respond, "I am here."

Emperor Longzheng said: "From today, you will be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."

Seeing Li Guangdi, Zhang Boxing and other civil officials with the title of cabinet ministers all looked at him and looked surprised.

Emperor Longzheng quickly added: "This is the will of the Supreme Emperor."

When all the officials heard this, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Some people even cursed in their hearts: Shameless!

The Qin system was rich, with the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers, that is, the power of the cabinet ministers, and they checked and balanced each other.

According to the etiquette, Emperor Longzheng could not directly appoint the Minister of Revenue.

The cabinet needs to first propose the list of two or three people, and then discuss with Emperor Longzheng and make a decision.

This can avoid the emergence of power and ministers, and also avoid the tyrant emperor.

But there are exceptions, which are the will of the Supreme Emperor...

The Supreme Emperor is highly respected and has his own meaning, so the cabinet naturally allows it.

Emperor Longzheng was taking advantage of the emperor's will and carrying private goods.

Fortunately, this is only this time...

In fact, the emperor's will of Emperor Daxing had the intention of acquiescating the successor to build a primary team for himself.

Otherwise, if all the dynasties are ministers of the previous dynasty, it is inevitable that the new monarch will be constrained.

As long as it is not too much, it is directly appointed as the prime minister of the cabinet, and then it will turn a blind eye...

Zhang Tingyu bowed and responded again, saying, "My minister, obey the order!"

His expression was still neither arrogant nor impatient, and he did not become the dominant power of the Qin Empire because he was only thirty-six years old, and he was complacent and carried on his own.

Even his eyes became a little more serious.

This scene made Emperor Longzheng extremely satisfied.

He said again: "Zhang Aiqing, I will give you ten days to clear out the Ministry of Revenue for me and recover the deficit. At the latest, on July 10, I will see 10 million taels of silver in the treasury."

"Wow!"

The ministers were in an uproar again, and many people's faces became pale.
