Chapter 467 The treasury is empty
That night, the family held a lively family dinner.
Since the three concubines had to take care of the children, Liu Chan asked Li Wan to come over to serve.
After some clouds and rain, Liu Chan remembered Li Wan's younger brother Li Yu and asked, "By the way, I remember that Li Yu should be released from prison, how is his situation now?" ”
Li Wan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, he was released from prison a few months ago, don't say it, Your Majesty, your method really works, you haven't caused trouble since you came out, and now you have entered the Tingwei Mansion to serve." ”
Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction and said: "The Tingwei Mansion is in charge of Liu Zichu, and in the past two years, Liu Zichu has really trained your younger brother well, since he can now get into Liu Zichu's eyes and serve in the Tingwei Mansion, it means that he has reformed himself." You bring him to me another day. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, she knew that Liu Chan was planning to reuse Li Yu.
Three days passed in a flash, these three days Liu Chan has been in the harem with his family, did not ask about state affairs, three days later, this is from the gentle township, the first thing is to worship the ancestors, as well as the mausoleum of the first emperor.
The civil and military ministers gathered in the Houde Palace, and the three concubines also went with their children in their arms.
Under the leadership of Taichangqing Zhang Song, he arrived at Taimiao first.
What is enshrined in the temple is the tablet of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty.
In the first row, there are only three spiritual seats, and the middle one is Liu Bei, the emperor of Zhaolie, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
The one on the left is Liu Bang, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, and the one on the right is Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bang and Liu Xiu are the founding emperors of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, while Liu Bei is the founding emperor of the Yan Han Dynasty.
Because Yan Han was established by Liu Bei from scratch, and Liu Bei was self-proclaimed emperor, not inherited, so in Yan Han's Taimiao, Liu Bei's status was higher than Liu Bang and Liu Xiu.
After the tablets of these three founding emperors, there are six tablets, which are Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan, and Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
These six emperors are the Ming monarchs of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they have made great contributions, and in the back row are those who do nothing, such as Liu Xie's tablet is in it, and the last row is the spiritual seat of the faint monarch, such as Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who have no merits, but have had emperors for the country.
After Zhang Song read out the memorial text, after the civil and military ministers paid their respects, everyone went to Liu Bei's mausoleum.
Liu Bei's mausoleum is clearly Huiling, located in the north of Chengdu City.
The closed mausoleum, where Liu Bei rests for a long time, is written on a stone tablet with several big characters on the tomb of Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty.
When the civil and military ministers arrived in Huiling, Zhang Fei touched the scene, and immediately wept bitterly, lying in front of the tombstone and crying bitterly.
Zhao Yun, Fa Zheng, and Xu Shu's courtiers in the rear did not have such a gaffe as Zhang Fei, but they also secretly wiped their tears.
Liu Chan's eyes were red and he fell to his knees.
"Father, the son of the emperor set out in August last year, and in December he recovered the west of Liupan Mountain, killed 60,000 enemy troops, collected 30,000 enemy troops, and destroyed Zhang He, Xiahou said. Pacify Qiangrong and establish Qinghai County ......"
Liu Chan informed Liu Bei of the results of last year's Northern Expedition.
"Erchen must work hard to regain the Central Plains as soon as possible, and return to the old capital, if my father knows about it, please bless me with the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
Now Erchen has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Liu Xiu, born to the Guan family, the second son Liu Qi, born to the Sun family, and the third daughter Liu Zi, born to the Zhu Rong family......"
"Tai Changqing, order to worship the first emperor!"
After talking a lot to Liu Bei, the worship ceremony began.
After the worship was over, Liu Chan returned to the palace and began to deal with military and political affairs.
Xu Shu, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun and the ministers of Jiuqing gathered in Liu Chan's study to report to Liu Chan about the situation of the subordinate departments in the past year.
Xu Shu first reported to Liu Chan on the major events of the country: "Your Majesty, shortly after you set out on the expedition, Dahonglu Jian Yong unfortunately passed away due to illness, and now Jiang Ziyi is temporarily replacing him. ”
Liu Chan sighed and said: "Mr. Jian followed the first emperor to conquer the east and west, and made countless contributions, and now that he is gone, I haven't seen him, Tai Changqing, I will go to worship tomorrow, you prepare." As for the post of Da Honglu, it was held by Jiang Gan. ”
Zhang Song gave his hand to receive the order: "No! ”
Xu Shu continued: "Other than that......"
Xu Shu then said some major government affairs in the past year, but Xu Shu has already dealt with these things, and Liu Chan doesn't have to continue to worry about it.
Liu Chan said: "I'll send the files over later, and I'll read them again later." ”
Although Xu Shu has already dealt with it, Liu Chan still has to go through it again to understand the situation of the country in detail.
Subsequently, Situ Fazheng reported on the situation of Situ Fuya, and Situ was in charge of the military planning and expenditure. That is, the income and expenditure of the state.
Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "In the year and a half that Your Majesty has been on the expedition, Jingzhou's income and taxes have been 31 million yuan, of which the income from salt is ...... Fifteen million dollars were spent on various construction projects. Yizhou side...... Hanzhong side...... Jiaozhou's income is 1.5 million, and the expenditure is ......
In addition, 135 million yuan was spent on the Northern Expedition, and 2.3 million stone ...... of grain and grass were consumed."
After hearing this, Liu Chan pillowed his forehead and said: "So the Northern Expedition is to impoverish the treasury." ”
Fa Zheng said with a wry smile: "This Northern Expedition not only depleted the treasury, but also used many local armaments to stock up on grain and grass to make up for the needs of Liangzhou.
The main thing is that His Majesty collected hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, and the consumption was too great, salt, iron, grain and grass, and all kinds of utensils...... There is also Qinghai County to build a city and mobilize tens of thousands of people, which add up to empty the treasury. ”
Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Hundreds of thousands of Qiang people are attached, although the treasury is exhausted, but it is a steady profit, now Yongliang has planted sweet potatoes, corn, and cotton, and established Qinghai County, set up a pasture, and then there will be a steady stream of war horses, ploughing cattle."
And I put forward a solution to the locust plague, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Xu Miao, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Jiang Wan are all capable ministers, as long as the sky does not send a catastrophe, three years later, you can feed back to the country, this is a good thing.
In addition, I have also expanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, do you think the treasury can still be taken out? ”
Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "Now that it is the end of the year, the taxes of this half year will be collected, which should be enough to support the needs of Yongliang, but if you want to replenish the national treasury, it will take at least three years, that is, within three years, it will be difficult to carry out a large-scale Northern Expedition." ”
In history, although Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition for many years, he did not use many troops, and the time for each expedition was not long, which was like Liu Chan this time, using 100,000 soldiers and horses, and also collecting hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, and building cities on a large scale. It will take two or three years to recover.
Of course, this is not to say that we cannot use troops in the next three years, but that we will not be able to use troops on a large scale and carry out construction on a large scale like this time.
