The sudden internal and external troubles caused the newly-born Great Qin Dynasty to become violently turbulent.

Even the city of Nanjing, which has been singing and dancing, also felt a chill.

At the end of the alley in Gangtou, in the restaurant and tea shop, people are discussing:

The enemy ships at sea were like clouds, and the waves were surging, pressing towards the southeast coast.

The wolf flag in the north of the desert swept south with the cold wave of Siberia.

The Dzungar in the Western Regions, with the power of destroying the country, carried the billowing sand and dust, and attacked overwhelmingly.

The Gushi Khan of Qinghai-Tibet took advantage of the fire to rob, condescending, and the heroes poured out like the Milky Way.

There is also the Tusi of Guangxi who caused trouble to the Xiao Wall, attacked the city and plundered the pond, which has become a great harm to the henchmen.

In the southeast, northwest, four sides, the middle of the flowering, the new Great Qin Dynasty shook the whole country, the people were panicked, the scene of the chaotic world at the end of the Ming Dynasty was as cheap as a dog, most people still had palpitations, the world had just been stable for more than half a year, the war clouds rose again, and the wolf smoke was all over the ground.

People looked eagerly at the golden palace, looking forward to the Great Qin Emperor who had just swept the ground, and then reinvigorated the wind and returned the world to peace.

The people are hotly discussed, and the people's hearts are in turmoil.

In the court of Great Qin, the fierce debate between civil and military officials was also in full swing.

The urgent reports of the war came back like snowflakes, and the emperor, despite the initial establishment of the country, used troops everywhere to build a large number of buildings, which caused such a crisis, and these policies were also fiercely condemned by the ministers.

An imperial historian named Zhou Qing even hit his head against the pillar and admonished him to death, asking the emperor to change his foreign policy, cultivate Wende, and be a gentle person.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Governor's Office of the Navy and the Army, the Ministry of War, and even the Ministry of Industry have all been fiercely attacked, especially the Governor of the Navy, Di Zhongxing, who has become the target of public criticism at every court meeting, and has been criticized for being incomplete.

The imperial court spent so much money to build a navy, not only failed to keep the enemy out of the country, but also recruited thieves to the door. This is all caused by the navy's unscrupulous provocation without the decision of the imperial court.

Qin Mu knew that the ministers were so unrelenting in targeting the navy, they were indirectly attacking their own maritime policy. There are even people who dare to compare him to Qin Shi Huang, who died II.

There were also many attacks on the army governor's office and military headquarters, especially the bullet seal of the capital governor Guo Ning, who impeached Li Dingguo, the governor of the rear army, for abandoning Shazhou without authorization and allowing the enemy to easily occupy the western end of the Hexi Corridor, which also caused an uproar in the court.

On the one hand, civilian officials deeply hated the military generals for provoking border provocations and provoking wars.

But on the other side, if anyone retreats without a fight and abandons the land and loses the land, then everyone will be punished.

He demanded that Li Dingguo be removed from his post as the governor of the army. The sound of escorting back to Beijing to wait for the crime resounded in the court.

There are not a few people who impeached Meng Ke, the former military governor, the enemy is strong and strong, and has invaded Monan, Meng Ke did not want to resist, and even sent troops to Mobei without authorization, further expanding the war and stretching the battle line, for fear that Daqin would not be tossed enough.

In the face of criticism and doubts from all sides, Qin Mu rarely spoke.

He first recruited the Tobe Shangshu and the two attendants to the Huagai Palace. Ask about the income of this year's summer tax, as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, all wars. All need money and food to support.

Looking at Qin Mu's faintly haggard face, Liu Boquan, the head of the household, inexplicably felt a palpitation, even if he was in Huguang at the beginning, surrounded by strong enemies. When the future is uncertain, I have never seen Qin Mu so haggard.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body." Liu Boquan didn't get down to business. But he bowed down first and persuaded emotionally.

Between him and the emperor, in addition to the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, there is also the grace of acquaintance. Qin Mu promoted him to Cao Ke, and in the various Shangshu, he has always regarded him as the most trustworthy one, and this kindness can not be expressed in words.

"I think that at the beginning, the country was not established, and I only needed to concentrate on the outside, and it would be fine. And now, Daqin is settled, and I have to take care of both inside and outside. ”

Qin Mu sighed from the bottom of his heart, no matter which emperor of the dynasty, the enemy is never just outside. The pressure on the emperor has always come more from within.

Before the state was established, a qiē could be expedient, and it could be acted cheaply.

The country has been established, and there are regulations for everything, even if you are the emperor, you can't overstep it frequently, otherwise you will take the lead in breaking the rules you have made, and you still want the ministers to abide by them?

Qin Mu is now facing such a situation, the ministers are criticizing one after another, he can't completely ignore it, after all, all policies need to be implemented by the ministers, like Zhou Qing to admonish with death, what can you do?

Xu Yingjie also came out to comfort: "Your Majesty, although there is wolf smoke on all sides now, my Great Qin Hundred Battles Heroes are still there, and the blood has not been lost, and the minister believes that there will be good news soon." ”

Qin Mu bowed his head noncommittally, now he was sure that he needed a big victory, a good news, to relieve the pressure, but could the generals in front understand his distress? Can you deliver good news in time?

"Don't talk about this, I summoned you here today, if I ask how the summer tax is."

"Back to Your Majesty, at present, except for Nanzhili, the summer taxes of all provinces will not have time to be escorted into Beijing, and the imperial court has spent a lot this year, and there is really not much money and grain left in the treasury." Liu Boquan said with a little guilt.

The summer tax of Daqin was levied on a different date in the north and south. South of the Yangtze River, the tax will be collected from June 20 for a period of 45 days. To the north of the Yangtze River, the levy will start on July 1, and the levy date will be 10 years later.

It is now the sixth day of the seventh month, and it is unlikely that even the southern provinces with an early collection date will escort the money and grain to Beijing so quickly, except for Nanzhili.

Listening to Liu Boquan's words, Qin Mu was silent on the surface, but he was even more anxious in his heart. This military situation is like fire, the money and food have not arrived, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, which is really a headache.

Xu Yingjie thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it always takes a while for the local government to collect taxes, and after the levy, it will take another time to escort them into Beijing, which is also inevitable." However, the summer grain that the people of the south gave to the merchants had already been put on the market, and now the price of grain in the market has fallen considerably. Your Majesty is in urgent need of money and food," Xu Yingjie said this, gritted his teeth, and said resolutely, "If Your Majesty is in urgent need of money and food, the minister can transfer a part of the deposit from Huitong Bank and buy grain from the market to solve the urgent need." ”

Qin Mu shook his head and vetoed: "No, this case must not be opened, otherwise I may have won this war, but I will destroy the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty." ”

It must be made clear that Huitong Bank has a large amount of deposits, but these money are not from the imperial court, let alone from him, the emperor.

If Qin Mu breaks this rule first when he encounters difficulties this time, then the monarchs of later generations must be even more unscrupulous, treating the deposits of Huitong Bank as their own private pockets, taking them and squandering them.

"About money, I'll find a way, the three Qing families, I want you to use a possible means to raise three million stone military rations for me within half a month, can you do it?"

"Half a month?"

"Half a month."

"陛xià, this"

"If the three Qing families can't do it, then they can raise as much as they can."

"The minister will go and raise as much as possible for His Majesty."

"Okay, let's go. I'm not fighting on my back, never has been, I've always had you behind me. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths."

Liu Boquan looked at Qin Mu's haggard expression again, and Xu Yingjie and Yang Chao bowed down with red eyes and quickly exited the Huagai Palace.

"Han Zan Zhou!"

"Slavery." When Han Zanzhou heard the call, he immediately stepped forward and bowed down and said, "I don't know what His Majesty commands?" ”

"How much silver do you have left in the inner treasury?"

"Back to His Majesty, there are four million one hundred and twenty thousand one hundred and twenty dragon coins. It's just that most of them have been allocated as special funds for the Royal Mongolian Academy, and once these funds are used, the Royal Mongolian Studies in various places may have to be suspended. ”

"You take one million dragon coins to Liu Boquan first, don't make them too embarrassed."

"Your Majesty, this slave obeys the order."

"From now on, the amount of money used in the palace will be halved, and my collection, but if it is valuable, you will take out the palace first."

"Your Majesty, how does this work?" Han Zanzhou hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother was already thrifty, and now she is pregnant with a dragon son, and the usage will be halved, but how can you get it?" ”

"Well, thanks to Lao Han's reminder, it is I who have considered it, and the use of the queen mother and Song Meiren does not have to be reduced, and everything else will be halved."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

PS: Every month, the rankings always take a big dive in the last few days. When I woke up in the morning, I was really sad and fell to tenth place. The third watch the day before yesterday, the fourth watch yesterday, I worked hard to update, and even the neck was pasted with a dog skin plaster, but I couldn't withstand the roar of the tiger, and I was trampled into the mud. To be honest, I feel very uncomfortable, but I have to admit that I really have no law to compare with the great god.

Qin Mu is not fighting against the water, but I am. On the last day, I asked for a monthly pass, I was really tired in the past two days, and I didn't save the manuscript, I worked hard to code words during the day, and I had a chapter at night. Until the last moment, unwilling. Ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued......)
