[1st Update]

Lu Jia asked, and he hurried over at nightfall.

Together with Yuan and a group of more than 20 people, carrying lanterns all the way, they entered the Zhangdun Mansion.

Fortunately, Lu Jiawen is only the third envoy, although he has the nickname of Ji Xiang, but he will not enter the two mansions after all. Coming and going to the door of Zaifu, there are not so many scruples.

Welcoming Lu Jiawen into the inner hall, Zhang Dian asked, "Why did you release the government at this time, but there is an urgent matter in the office?" ”

"It's not like thank you Zihou! If you don't invite me over today, I'll come to the door myself. Lu Jia snorted angrily, he had been very close to Zhang Dian in the past two years, and he was familiar with it, so he began to complain without sitting down, "The Privy Council is so generous, and the 300,000 yuan silk will be sent out with a wave of the pen...... Anyway, it's not you Xifu who pays left and right, and it's not you who can't sleep! ”

Zhang Dian had long known that there would be this kind of Dao.

In the past two days, the Jingying forbidden army who came back from Hedong complained because they were not satisfied with the meager rewards of the imperial court. So the Privy Council re-examined the bounty, and added two more horses of silk to each soldier. It's just that in this way, it was replaced by the three divisions of the yamen, who were already anxious about the previous reward, and complained.

Zhang Dian sighed: "There is no way, Jingying is not soothing, and Jinggi is not stable." Now it's just complaining, do you have to wait for the mutiny to break out? This time, Han Yukun only dared to use them as a façade, and he didn't dare to use them into battle. Mixed up with a big victory, come back and ask for credit! Pick it up slowly in a few days! Don't even think about running for the leader! "To appease the red guys first, and then settle accounts after the autumn, this is the consistent process when the military is in turmoil, no matter how tough Zhang Dan is, he will not ask for trouble:"...... You see how smart Han Yukun is, he sent people back as soon as the battle was over. Trouble will not be on his turf. ”

Zhang Dian caused trouble, but Lu Jia asked but was not fooled: "After the battle, of course there is nothing to do with him." How to determine the reward is not a matter for your Privy Council. It's already a lot, and now it's half of it...... Han Yukun was building tracks in Hedong, and he had nothing to say about the use of soldiers. It's better to be steady than to be defeated. If King Zhao had the foresight, he would definitely not exchange Zhao Kuo for Lian Po. But it's a lot of money! ”

"It's just tentative. I haven't spoken yet in the government hall. ”

Lu Jia asked angrily and laughed instead, "Tentatively? Will the tentative matter be sent to the three divisions? Han Gang can push the matter on your Zhang Zihou's head, and you can push the matter on the political affairs hall, won't the political affairs hall push the matter to the third division? ”

"After all, it's just a matter of hundreds of thousands, and millions of dollars have been given in front of me, so why bother saving so much now."

"Can the people's fat and people's ointment be spent indiscriminately?!"

Lu Jiawen is a child of a family, and his pocket has never been short of money. Even if he turned his face with his family, he never worried about the lack of money. But since he was appointed to take over as the third envoy in danger, he couldn't wait to find a river to jump into, so as not to worry about money anymore.

Relying on God's help, the treasury with some savings finally became a bottomless pit again. The hole was so deep that Lu Jiawen couldn't sleep at night. In his opinion, the imperial court urgently needs a means to restore the balance of payments, otherwise the next few years will inevitably have to exploit the people. Now that you haven't found it, you have to save it if you can, so that the crime doesn't fall on your head in the future.

His voice suddenly lowered: "Four years after Renzong's great trip, followed by Yingzong's great trip, the treasury can't even get the money to reward the ministers and the three armies. Without this, where would the new law come from? ”

If you are rebellious, Lu Jia is not easy to say, but he can also understand the meaning of his words.

When today's son is almost a breath left, although relying on the blessing of the ancestors, this breath has been hanging, but maybe it will be broken one day. In case the funeral can't be held in a beautiful way, the group of people who were pressed down will have something to say:

——After more than ten years of law changes, everything has changed, but the treasury of the Son of Heaven has not changed!

If this comment spreads, the foundation of the new party's ruling power will be shaken as a result.

In fact, how to reward the army that has experienced the war, the Great Song Dynasty court is very experienced. Regardless of victory or defeat, rewards will be given. First appease the soldiers and the low-level military academies, even if the generals above have grievances due to insufficient rewards, they will not make a big incident.

It's just that the problem now is that the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army is not as effective as its colleagues in Hedong, Shaanxi, but when it comes to being shrewd and calculating, it is far superior.

The war in Hedong was fought all the way from Taiyuan Mansion to the territory of Liao, and the main force that really fought with the Liao army was still the soldiers and horses of Hedong Town. Since the Jingying Forbidden Army arrived in Hedong, it has been pinched in the hands of Han Gang, and it was not until the last that it had a brief confrontation with the Liao army.

In all fairness, the existence of the Jingying Forbidden Army successfully forced the Liao army not to dare to let go, and it was necessary to be vigilant against their actions at all times, which can be regarded as playing a certain role. However, after the war, such credit will not be counted. In terms of the results of the battle, the number of captives was far inferior to that of the Hedong soldiers and horses who actually fought, and the number of beheadings was even less than that of the 7,000 Western Army that suppressed bandits and quelled the rebellion.

The imperial court rewarded meritorious deeds, and the Jingying Forbidden Army could only get the most basic number of them, which was not as good as the Western Army and the Hedong Army, which had battles and results.

It is normal for them to be unwilling.

There is no merit and hard work. What's more, they are fighting against the heavily armed and fierce Liao people, not against the Tibetan people who can't even be equipped with armor, they have to fight for their lives, and if one is not good, the whole army will be wiped out. Carrying his head to the battlefield, he only got some money to send Hanako in the end, and the Jingying Forbidden Army has always had a tradition of making trouble, so of course it will not settle down.

Wiped his face with the wet hand towel given by the handmaid of the Zhang family, and drank two sips of mung bean and lily soup, Lu Jia asked a little more angry, "Don't talk about it." The queen also agreed, and the money would be withdrawn from the inner treasury and not from the left treasury. ”

Zhang Dian was slightly stunned, there was no news yesterday, and today it made sense: "Didn't you say that the reward sent to the three armies this time, only two million yuan will be hidden inside, and the rest will be raised by the three divisions, why do you have to withdraw it from the inner treasure?" ”

The three libraries in the left are stored as the tribute of the state capital of the world. The money treasury, the gold and silver silk cotton warehouse, and the raw and cooked silk warehouse, among the three warehouses, are basically the main body of the national reserves, which are in charge of the three divisions. The ministers, the salaries of the three armies, and the daily expenses of the imperial court were all drawn from here.

The inner treasury was originally a sealed pile vault that Taizu had saved to recapture the Youyun Prefectures, and later became the emperor's private money. However, only a small part of it is used for the expenses of the heavenly family, and the vast majority of the use is to give rewards to the ministers and the three armies, or to help the people in times of famine, representing the grace of heaven, and a large part of the military expenditure in war is also spent from the inner treasury - 'the army and famine should be prepared for it, and not be generous to the people', which is the purpose of establishing the inner treasury.

When the Yuanfeng new library set up in the past two years belongs to the category of the inner library, the five seasons are lost, and the fox is blazing. The art ancestor made the state, and the thought was punished. The inner government was set up to recruit soldiers. Great-grandson Baozhi, dare to forget his ambitions? The thirty-two Yuanfeng Library, which is named after each character of this four-character poem, is to prepare for the military expenses of the Liao invasion in the future.

In addition, because the imperial court had no money, it often reached out to borrow money from the inner treasury. In essence, the Inner Treasury is also part of the national treasury, and when the two governments and the three divisions want to ask for money, they are always justified.

The emperor was unwilling to do this. Therefore, the inner treasury is in charge of the inner chamberlain, and the outer court is not allowed to interfere. Emperor Zhenzong even issued an edict clearly that it was not allowed to find out how much money was in the Son of Heaven's private pocket, and it was strictly forbidden to leak it internally - 'The edict contains the treasury and the deputy below, and the treasury shall not be kept in charge of the treasury for protection and external legends, and the offender will be beheaded."

This time the Song and Liao went to war, and the inner treasury also paid money as usual. In less than half a year, nearly 4 million yuan was spent, most of which was military spending, and half was a loan to the three divisions. When you start a war, you spend money like water, and it will be empty at once.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that since today's son ascended the throne, there have been no days of peace. Xining's four-year expansion of the land and Hengshan, Xining's five-year Hehuang Kaibian, Xining's seven and eight years of drought locusts, and Xining's nine and ten years of southern expeditions have not stopped. After entering Yuanfeng, it was the Battle of Pingxia and the confrontation with Liao that had just ended.

With such a toss, it is natural that you can't save money. The country's financial plan has been able to maintain until now, thanks to the solid foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is also the credit of the new law.

Now that the peace agreement has been decided, when Song Liao restored the old alliance and wanted to reward the three armies, Song Yongchen, who was in charge of the inner treasury, took out two million silver silk and spread his hand and said that there was only fat powder money left for the harem.

When the war broke out in the north, the two governments even coaxed and deceived and got the account books of the inner treasury from the queen's side - although it was only a copy, it was no longer like in the past, and only listened to the ministers who were in charge of the inner treasury to report once a month, and the actual situation was confused, and they didn't even know how much they could borrow money - at this time, looking at the account books, what Song Yongchen said was not a lie.

The Zaifu gathered together and discussed for two days, and decided that the insufficient reward would be withdrawn from the left treasury and offset the previous loan from the inner treasury on the books.

However, Lu Jia asked to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, and finally squeezed out the reward given to the three armies from the indispensable daily expenses, and was about to take a breath, but heard that he would ask for another 300,000 yuan of silk, and the silk would also be converted into money, which would be a total of nearly 500,000 yuan of additional expenses.

Let's ask Lu Jia how not to jump his feet? Fortunately, Xiang Xiang helped him a lot, "The queen said that the inner palace can save a little, but the rewards for the soldiers of the three armies cannot be saved." This time, thanks to the Queen Shengming......"

Zhang Dian shook his head.

What else are you talking about? The emperor is still alive, but it is almost the same as being gone. There is really nothing to say about bullying orphans and widows, and if they succeed.
