"Prince, why didn't you report the news we got to the emperor?" Liu Hongqing asked puzzled.

According to his understanding, King Jin is restless when he does this, and the emperor will definitely not be able to get around him if he knows it.

"Report to the emperor, what do we say, is it possible that the king of Jin wants to rebel, what is the evidence? Now he's just a little restless, just keep an eye on it. ”

Zhao Xucai is not so stupid, if you want to tell Zhao Kuangyin about this, don't say whether he believes it or not, it is estimated that he will be unlucky first.

Besides, he is even more confident, this Zhao Guangyi has no way to escape his control, and there is no need to worry about these things at all.

Here Zhao Kuangyin is discussing big things with Miao Xun, Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi, and he thinks that these three people are his cronies.

Especially Miao Xun was recently assigned to Zhao Kuangyin by Zhao Xu, and at this stage, Zhao Kuangyin did not squeeze his labor.

However, Miao Xun really made some good suggestions, and even a prime minister like Zhao Pu admired him tightly, let alone other people.

"There is really a big deal when I hand over a few people today, that is, the treasury is short of money, and there is no money in the treasury now, and I don't know what to do now."

"I ordered Li Tao, the head of the household department, not to disclose any news, for fear of causing panic, and then the ministers will know that the court has no money, and it will be difficult to control it."

A few days ago, Zhao Kuangyin asked Li Tao, the head of the household, how much money he had in the treasury, and he was not going to prepare for the scientific examination soon.

The expenses must be not small, so Zhao Kuangyin wants to make preparations in advance and make a budget.

As a result, Li Tao did not dare to speak up, and under Zhao Kuangyin's repeated persecution, he told the truth.

There is no money in the treasury, not a penny left, and now the treasury is empty, in other words, the country is about to go bankrupt.

This situation is very serious, don't let others attack your country, and you can perish yourself.

So Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly met with the three of them to see if they had any ideas, after all, this situation couldn't last too long.

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that this matter is very easy to handle, the treasury has no money, we can collect taxes, every country in the past dynasties has not done this, taxation is the best way."

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Guangyi immediately said what he wanted, which was what he just thought.

blurted out, I don't know if he did it on purpose or what, this is a bad idea.

This was not immediately opposed by Zhao Kuangyin:

"No, I wouldn't do it."

"The emperor's ministers and brothers think that this is a routine practice, even the previous dynasty has done such a thing, not only that, which dynasty did not do this, and our Great Song Dynasty is not the first, what are you afraid of?"

"Guangyi, I know that all dynasties have done this, but I definitely can't do this, our Great Song Dynasty can't read like other dynasties;."

"Guangyi, have you ever thought about the interests of the common people, whose interests will be harmed by taxation?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at his younger brother.

"Presumably you also know that it is the interests of the common people, but we established the Great Song Dynasty in the first place so that the people will no longer suffer, and now it is still the season of taxation, can we do this?"

"Our Great Song Dynasty is not a tyrannical dynasty, it can't be the same as the others, besides, if this is really the case, it will soon lose the support of the people."

"Our Great Song Dynasty has just been established, and the people's hearts are still unstable, so they can't withstand such a toss, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and the same loss of the people's hearts will perish in the world."

Zhao Pu listened to it for so long and said:

"The emperor is right, it is true that taxes cannot be collected now, and once the people's resentment is aroused, the consequences will be even more serious."

"Besides, King Jin, your tax plan is not unfeasible, it was in the prosperous era, when the people were rich, and it should be nothing for the court to collect a small tax at that time."

"Our Great Song Dynasty does not have such conditions now, and we can't take this risk, so what the emperor said is very reasonable."

After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he sat down with Zhao Kuangyin and King Jin.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Miao Xun again: "I don't know what Mr. means?" ”

Miao Xun, who was closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, also opened his eyes:

"Your Majesty, I have been with the people for many years, and I know what the people need, and if there is indeed a war in the country, they will definitely support it vigorously."

"But now we have no stock in our own treasury, and if we go to collect taxes, I am afraid that the people will complain."

Miao Xun didn't say what his opinion was, but it was obvious that he still didn't support taxation.

Zhao Guangyi saw that three of the four people present were already opposed, could he still insist stupidly?

"The emperor is a courtier's brother who is not thoughtful, please don't blame the emperor."

"Hey, Guangyi, I'm very happy that you can put forward your opinion, but in the future, you have to look farther ahead, and you can't just see the immediate benefits."

"My brother has been taught."

"The emperor's current pot helmet is empty, and it can't be dragged on like a way, but the wealth that the imperial court can control is not much, and most of it is in the feudal towns in various places."

Miao Xun finally led the question to the direction of the feudal town, which is exactly what Zhao Kuangyin wanted to see, and he was thinking about moving closer to this aspect.

"Sir's is right, speaking of which, the treasury of our central government is not as much as a single feudal town can control, and I, the emperor, really didn't have to be a festival envoy when he was happy, and I really want to be a festival envoy."

Zhao Kuangyin's sentence is three points true and seven points false, and he is really at ease when he is not doing the festival.

If it's false, you're doing the festival, is that possible, even if you are willing, other people are also unwilling.

"The emperor must not say this, if this is heard by someone who cares, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhao Pu hurriedly persuaded that this was sincere, and if he changed an emperor, he might not be reused.

"It's okay, I just sighed, and besides, none of the people here today are outsiders, Mr. is respected by me, Zhao Pu is my important minister, Guangyi is my younger brother, I don't believe you, who else do you believe."

Zhao Kuangyin is true feelings, but this is also suspected of buying people's hearts, and the superficial work must be done enough.

"I have now come up with a good idea, which can be solved temporarily, and the financial difficulties of the imperial court, I have thought twice about it, which is also feasible."

"Oh, the emperor already has an idea, so the courtiers will listen to it."

"I have decided to lend money from my brothers, the envoys of the festival, to replenish the treasury for the time being."

The three people in the room were stunned, and after repeated confirmation, they proved that they had heard correctly, what Zhao Kuangyin said was to borrow from those festival envoys temporarily.

The emperor borrowed money from the minister, which is really unprecedented, I don't know what Zhao Kuangyin thinks.
