300,000 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, and even the previous Yuwang Mansion's annual realizations were only 100,000 taels.

And this ...... It's actually 300,000 taels a year?!

Could it be...... Wen Ranran gasped, and had a terrible conjecture in her heart.

Everyone knows that the third prince Xia Lihong took Wang Shujun's younger brother, Wang Fengshan, the general of Zhenbei, to garrison the northern Xinjiang and did not return for several years, and the northern Xinjiang was also safe and sound, making great contributions to the peace of the country.

But...... If, as he had guessed before, Xia Lihong had already hooked up with Yan Guo, then there was no such thing as stationing.

In the past, the imperial court allocated 500,000 taels of military spending to Northern Xinjiang every six months, with an annual expenditure of 1 million, and this spring and autumn season is the time to allocate military spending, but these military expenditures are actually ...... They all filled the private pockets of the Bright Sect?!

Wen Ranran couldn't imagine what kind of life those soldiers who guarded Yanbei were living under the constraints of 200,000 military expenses per quarter......

It's just that Xia Lihong ...... Wen Ranran endured the anger, clenched her fists tightly, and silently wrote down the matter.

"It's all right!" Wen Ranran sat on the chair and waved her hand dejectedly, asking Fan Ji to bring these ledgers down.

Silence returned to the warehouse, and Wen Ranran sighed and looked at the glowing hill in front of her.

To tell the truth, she has not lived a rich life since she was a child, so she has always loved money, and when she saw so much gold and silver treasure for the first time, she also moved some thoughts that should not be moved.

However, after she thoroughly investigated the origin of this batch of military spending, this idea was almost immediately dispelled.

When he was a child, he followed Wen Zhong to the north and south, and when he passed by the Yanbei Desert, Wen Ranran was the most impressed.

At that time, there was constant friction between Yan and Rongguo, and there were often some small guerrilla struggles.

There, there is not only the magnificent beauty of the desert and the sunset over the long river, but also the bones, blood, and killing buried under the endless yellow sand.

The weather in Yanbei is cold, in winter, the snow is so big that it can even reach the knees and thighs, and even the waist, the soldiers' lives are extremely difficult, and there are many soldiers who freeze to death every year.

Emperor Lao'er also knew this, so the military expenditure allocated to Yanbei every year was extremely abundant.

But Emperor Rongcheng estimated that he didn't expect that his legendary third son, who was the most indifferent to fame and fortune and dedicated to protecting his family and defending the country, actually embezzled sixty percent of his military expenses every year, just to satisfy his other absurd ambition!

Wen Ranran clenched her fists, and the disgust for Xia Lihong in her heart was even worse.

Xia Lishuang wants the throne, he is diligent, for the country and the people, even if there is a conflict of interest, he definitely puts the interests of the people first.

Xia Liyuan wants the throne, he can't be so diligent, but he won't take the initiative to harm the people.

And Xia Lihong ...... It's a cancer! Not to mention the wolf's ambition to embezzle military salaries privately, he also expanded the influence of the cult in the southwest in a vain attempt to control the people.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, but whose people's hearts are won in this way?! What's the difference between this and a demon?!

Wen Ranran took a deep breath, her chest was full of anger, but she forcibly suppressed it.

Don't be impulsive, now is not the time to settle accounts, and when the matter in Lingnan is over, they must suffer a big loss!

Wen Ranran thought viciously, and after a while, Fan Ji came back after sending the account book, saying that Qiu Nan had released the girl who had been imprisoned, and was waiting for Wen Ranran to look at it in the open space of the square in the back mountain.
