[This is the first update.] 】

Lu Jiawen covered his mouth with his sleeve, yawned, and walked into the Chongzheng Hall with sour eyes.

The afternoon time is the most sleepy, but the queen dragged today's Chongzheng Hall to sit again at this time.

Lu Jia didn't close his eyes all night last night, and when he returned home from Wang Anshi's mansion, he began to think about how to deal with Han Gang's counterattack.

I thought I could take a break in the afternoon, but after the court meeting, news came from the palace that today's Chongzheng Hall was changed to the afternoon.

In Lu Jiawen's opinion, the Empress Taishang, who is now listening to the government, is too diligent in government. That is, the current Emperor Zhao Ji, will recruit Zaifu and attendants to the Hajj every day.

Further back, Renzong and Yingzong all rest every other day, that is, two days depending on things, if there is a holiday in the middle of the month, then it will be postponed.

Especially before the Yuan Hao rebellion, when the world was enjoying peace, Emperor Renzong didn't like to ask about politics, but liked to hang out with a few favored beauties in the palace until dawn, and then yawned and fooled the courtiers for a few words, and then returned to the palace to continue.

Those who are good don't learn, but they learn to exhaust themselves.

Si Chen is already a helpless move, but he still cries more diligently than the rooster, what is this?

Lu Jia asked if he would not be stupid enough to say what was in his heart. Anyway, it won't be long before you suffer.

There was Emperor Zhao Xuan behind him before, and Wang Anshi in front of him, and some of the methods of the two governments were not easy to use. Now that the two are gone, if you want to make the Empress Taishang afraid to deal with political affairs, the little officials below will play the means, how can the two mansions not be?

Don't bother too much, write the text a little more deeply, use a few more allusions, and ensure that the queen is dizzy, and at the end of the day, she can't read a few chapters, and when the time comes, the two governments will complain again, and they can only honestly entrust the big and small political affairs to the two governments.

Lu Jiawen followed the two mansions into the palace, Su Song was still in the resignation stage, and it would take a few days to take office, and the people attending the meeting were exactly the same as the day before.

Soon after the ministers came in, Empress Taishang also arrived with the Son of Heaven, and Song Yongchen followed behind with a thick booklet. Looking at the size and thickness, it should be the account book of the inner treasury, but before the queen was ignorant, the third division had already obtained a copy of the account book, how much money was left in the inner treasury, and the annual income, now they all knew it. That's why I can ask for money.

After the ministers paid their respects, they sat down one after another.

"Lu Qing." Xiang Empress first named Lu Jia's question.

Although Empress Xiang wanted to call her by her first name, she still habitually maintained respect for her courtiers.

"The minister is here."

Lu Jiawen stood up and moved to the center of the hall.

"The Son of Heaven ascended the throne, and the rewards of the hundred officials and the three armies were agreed yesterday, and the expenditure of 1 million guan of money for the inner treasury, 700,000 horses of silk, and 600,000 guan for the three divisions was borrowed from the inner treasury. If there is nothing to do today, and the account is recorded, send it quickly. ”

The application of money and silk in the inner treasury, in addition to providing the expenses of the heavenly family, the rest is reward, disaster relief, and supplementary military expenses.

This military expenditure is mainly for combat expenses, not for daily expenses. The inner library includes the pile sealing library set up by Emperor Taizu, and the purpose of the sealing pile library is to recover Youyan, or redeem it, or use soldiers.

——'Shi Jin [Later Jin Shi Jingjiao] cut Youyan to bribe the Khitan, so that the people of one side were limited to the outside world, and I was very merciful. If you want to make a deposit of three or five hundred thousand yuan in Siku, that is, send an envoy to make a covenant with the Khitan, and if you can return it to my land and people, you should use this gold silk to redeem its ransom value. If not, I will scatter the wealth and recruit warriors in an attempt to capture the ear. ’

The last place to go is to lend it to the third division.

However, the inner treasury lent the money to the Sansi Yamen, which basically belonged to the meat buns and dogs, and there was no return. owes a lot, that is, a write-off - from the first year of Taizong's Chunhua to the fourth year of Jingde, in 18 years, 'the annual loan of one million, up to three million, can not be repaid, then exclude their membership'.

After three years of Zhenzong Tianxi, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he stipulated that 600,000 yuan would be allocated to the three divisions every year, and the three divisions should not be returned, and he only asked the outer court not to worry about the inner treasury anymore. But in fact, when the treasury really can't support it, it still has to reach out and borrow money. It's a little less than before.

Originally, after the previous reward of the Jingying forbidden army who came back from Hedong, the inner storage warehouse had almost been emptied. The reason why there is still money is not the autumn tax, but the new money that will arrive in the capital next, Jiangzhou, Chizhou, Raozhou, and Jianzhou are all where the money is supervised, and the new money sent to the capital every year is more than one million. According to the usual practice, the coins minted in these places were first put into the inner treasury and then disbursed to the three divisions. Coupled with the silk silk that has not yet been sent to shine, it is barely enough to get together. But in the middle of the year, most of the year's income was used up, and when it came to the New Year's Festival, except for pork, there was really nothing that could be rewarded to the hundred officials and clans.

When I was forced to give money yesterday, I didn't say that the old man was forced to give the new money that had just arrived before it was hot, and he had a sleepless night of heartache and headache to the queen. It wasn't until after today's court meeting that I hurriedly browsed the latest few notes sent that I suddenly felt at ease.

One million, seven hundred thousand, six hundred thousand, a few numbers to say calmly.

"Obey."

Lu Jia asked if he didn't know all this, and Bing Wat bowed. After receiving the order, he was about to return to work, but he heard the queen say again, "I remember that the previous military reward should have been paid by the three divisions, and it was also borrowed from the inner treasury." ”

Lu Jiawen chuckled in his heart, and the sudden change reminded him of Han Gang's post yesterday: "Thousands of miles of borders, there are wars, and military spending is especially high. The state is short for a while, so it has to be so. ”

Several Zaifu wondered why the queen had turned over the old accounts again. Didn't you say it well before?

"I'm not saying that I regret borrowing money, and I can't be stingy when the country has something to do. It's just that after borrowing money, it is reasonable to make an IOU. Motioned to the queen Song Yongchen to put down the account book he was holding, "It's just that I've been looking for a long time in the account book of this inner treasury, why haven't I found an IOU?!" ”

As he spoke to the queen, his voice gradually became stern. However, although he was ruthless, not to mention the courtiers, even Zhao Xu in front of him didn't move.

"Although there are no IOUs, there are accounts to follow. Isn't it in the books? Lu Jia also wondered, how strange does this number look like, how to start from here?

"There is no term, no guarantor, no interest. It's called borrowing?! Xiang Queen's account book was patted out, and a puff of ash was patted, and he coughed lightly: "It's not in the market, borrow a few dozen cents." Every year, it is 600,000 yuan, and when encountering military affairs, festivals, and gifts, you have to reach out and ask for it. Year after year, how much has been repaid. It's all written off. ”

"Even if there is a write-off, it is also after the gift, and it is promised by the Son of Heaven" "As for the term, guarantor, and interest, there is no story. Taizong, Zhenzong, Renzong, Yingzong, and the emperor have never said anything about asking for interest. ”

"I don't know what the story of Wang Pingzhang's change of law is?"

"Your Highness!" Lu Jiawen shouted loudly, "The emperor's change of the law, the old rules of the ancestors, is to imitate the three generations, in order to make up for the decline of state affairs." And all the laws have been practiced in the local area for many years, and they have been tested by many people, so they can be promulgated in the world. Dare to ask Your Highness, when and where these three divisions were going to draw money from the inner treasury, and what precedent were there for making IOUs. Isn't this world the Son of Heaven? Who is the court spending for?! ”

Empress Xiang was so blocked that she couldn't speak. In terms of fighting with each other, the emperor can't win against the battle-hardened courtiers below, not to mention that she is a woman.

"Han Shumi has a statement today, saying that the three divisions borrowed money to make the sovereignty of the internal and external treasury unclear, and new regulations should be formulated."

Sure enough, it's Han Gang! Lu Jia asked if it was finally determined who was behind Empress Taishang.

At this moment, several Zaisuke, who were originally going to stand up and support Lu Jiawen, did not move.

Before, they thought that Empress Taishang wanted to curb the situation that the inner treasury was in and out, and wanted to take back the financial rights of the inner government that had been handed over before. The two governments and the three divisions are in the same breath, and they must definitely help. But since it was instigated by Han Gang, it was clear that it was a counterattack against Wang Anshi's protection of Lu Jiawen before, since this is the case, it is better to look at the style first, so as not to accidentally injure Han Gang.

Both Cai Qu and Zhang Dian understood that Han Gang was not a pedantic gentleman, and he must have his intentions when he gave ideas to the queen. But in any case, we will never stand on opposite sides of the two provinces.

"Han Gang resigned from office, didn't he think about it behind closed doors at home, and interfered in state affairs? What are the rules? Lu Jia asked, he is now a fire in his belly.

Han Gang only spread his hands to ask for an official last night, and he originally wanted to maneuver, but he didn't expect the queen to come to the door. I'm afraid that after writing the post, I immediately wrote the cantata. Where is the appearance of compensation, it is clearly a delaying tactic to let yourself slack off.

However, Lu Jia asked not without any preparation, although Han Gang wrote a post to compensate, who dared to guarantee that he would not directly invite Empress Taishang and put his hand into the three divisions.

Even if he is now at the time of Du Men's resignation, Han Gang's character, Lu Jia knows how to ask him. Without getting the edict, he dared to return to Beijing directly, forcing Wang Anshi to resign with him.

Once he is told to move Empress Taishang, it may not be the case of the Salt and Iron Division, but it is more likely that the judge or even the deputy envoy of the Third Division, or even the Demolition Division can be swallowed by him.

But Lu Jia didn't expect that Han Gang's performance was handed over, and what he wanted was not a position in the three divisions, let alone prying the corner of the wall, but directly kicking the door.

But what Han Gang did was a little too stupid, standing on the side of Empress Taishang to help, but he didn't want to think about what the two mansions would think of him.

"Han Shumi is a senior minister, how can he not discuss politics? As for the resignation of the privy councillor, I have not yet agreed! Xiang said to the queen angrily.

"Your Highness. National affairs, no one can discuss the promotion of officials, Han Gang is the senior minister, of course, he can also make suggestions. Han Jiang stood up to play a round game, "However, it is really appalling and insulting to the court for the third division to write an IOU for the withdrawal of the treasury gold. He also asked His Royal Highness to publicize Han Gang's recital, so that the ministers and others would know its ins and outs. ”

"Han Shumi is not trying to write ordinary IOUs. Rather, it is an IOU for a fixed amount. 10,000 copies, or 100,000 copies. Set the time and interest for repayment, as well as the pledge. As a proof of borrowing, it is paid to the inner treasury. Xiang Queen's breath of gambling: "Han Shumi said that this is called a national debt, so that the court knows that this is an arrears." It's just a name! ”
