Before I went into exile, I was rich as hell.

Su Yue saw clearly that Murong Li was determined to send troops, she said: "Sending troops to attack Beifeng Kingdom, not only will it cost lives and money, but it will also hurt innocent people. I think, why don't you use another method?"

"Oh? In what way, Yue'er told me to listen?"

Su Yue touched her belly, and said slowly: "Once the war breaks out, I don't know how many people will die. I don't want to see such a situation. I am pregnant with a child, so let's save some blessings for the children. Just kill the members of the royal family, and then occupy Beifeng Kingdom."

Su Yong has seen too many dead people in this life, and she doesn't want to see large-scale dead people again. She thinks it's not impossible to only destroy the royal family without sending out a single soldier.

And war doesn't necessarily have to kill people, economic control can also destroy a country.

With their abilities, they could control Beifeng Kingdom within two years.

Murongli is a smart person, he immediately understood Su Yong's intentions, but both have their disadvantages, he likes quick battles.

He said: "It's not impossible to say this, but if Beifeng Kingdom is taken down by such means, the local forces in Beifeng Kingdom will inevitably resist, and it will still cause turmoil and war.

Take economic control, the time is too long, I can't wait. "

Su Yue frowned: "Then take it easy and wait until I give birth."

Murongli nodded: "That's fine."

Since Yue'er asked, he had no choice but to obey, but since he wanted to take Beifeng Kingdom, preparations had to be done in advance.

"Then I'll take you back to rest."

"Ah."

Su Yue nestled in Murongli's arms, and nodded slightly.

The next day, just as Murong Li went to court to prepare for today's court meeting, his personal guards came to report, the prince of Beifeng Kingdom begged to see him.

"Let him wait in the post house. I just went to court, so I don't have time to pay attention to him."

Murongli said impatiently, the prince of Beifeng Kingdom is still very lacking in ability, a majestic prince can't control a woman, almost killed his child.

The guard left in a hurry.

Murongli just started today's court meeting.

Now Xifeng Kingdom is under construction, and the papers that come up are all asking for money.

Murong Li had a headache, just now he took a sum of money from his wife, and now he wants to ask her for a loan, he has to empty out her family.

He looked at the courtiers below and asked, "Now that the national treasury is tight, what can be done to fill the treasury?"

After a long while, a courtier came out holding a wat board and said, "My Majesty, I feel that maritime commerce and trade should be opened. The west of our Xifeng Kingdom is on the coast, and we can build an alley like Nanfeng Kingdom, so that overseas merchants can trade in the sea." China lands and trades with my country."

Murongli remembered that this person was a servant of the household department, his surname was Wang, but he didn't know his name.

This person is a conscientious person, he has been working in the household department for more than ten years, and he is still a fifth-rank doctor. Murongli knows that this is the result of not being good at flattering.

However, this person's opinion can still be considered. Originally, he wanted to build a port under the Qingniu Mountains, but the funds were not in place, and it has not been built yet. If this is the case, then it is better to consider this suggestion.

Murongli nodded: "Mr. Wang's suggestion is very good, you go down and write a charter, let me have a look first."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Wang Langzhong retreated silently, but thought in his heart that it was an honor for the emperor to know him as a fifth-rank official.

He is usually ranked last in the court, usually silent, like an invisible person.

It was the same when he was in the household department. Only when he was needed, was someone thinking of him.

Just after Wang Langzhong returned, Buhu Shangshu immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, just now you said that the Hubu is in short supply. If this is to build a port, where will the money come from?"

He didn't even earn any money, and he had to take a lot of money, so the Minister of the Household Department quit.

Murongli glanced at him: "That's why I asked you to find a way. If you can't think of a way and you don't want to take out the money, you are more anxious than I am. I have never seen you so anxious when you put in the money."

Hubu Shangshu blushed and turned pale at Murongli's words, he hated that Wang Langzhong to death, he was his boss, and without his consent, he went up to the court and uttered nonsense in front of the emperor.

Also build a port, build a fart, does it cost less money to build a port, and the treasury needs to be emptied.

Thinking of giving out silver, the Minister of the Household Department wished to crush a piece of silver and spend it.

Take a lot of money out, as if gouging out his heart.

Originally, the houses of the three major families were copied, as well as the house of King Huai'an, and the treasury had money, but the emperor didn't know what kind of madness he was doing, and because of the south-to-north water diversion, most of the money in the treasury went out at once.

For such a large project, it is not enough to fill in all the money from the national treasury.

There are also four borders, and now there are no soldiers, the emperor also wants to build military defenses.

The emperor really doesn't know how expensive salt and rice are if he is not in charge of the family. He spends money like running water. He doesn't know how difficult it is to make money.

The emperor ascended the throne, pardoned the world, and exempted all the people of Xifeng Kingdom from taxes for a year. The emperor didn't even think about the loss. The treasury has no income this year, and the little tax paid by the merchants is worthwhile. .

"Yeah, Luo Shangshu, you are in charge of the money bag of our Xifeng Kingdom, you can only get in and out, then you can think of a way to earn more money back, can't the money in your money bag come out?" .”

When the Minister of the Ministry of War heard Luo Shangshu's words, he felt very unhappy, and immediately hated him.

This Luo Shangshu is extremely stingy, asking him for money is like digging his flesh.

In particular, their Ministry of War asks him for the military report of the soldiers every year. He keeps delaying and reducing it again and again, wishing not to give any money.

Luo Shangshu snorted coldly at the servant of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is the person he least likes to see. He is the most demanding person for money. There is also a Ministry of Industry. These two departments are annoying to see. Whenever he sees him, he asks him for money. It's not the silver maker, but the one who manages the silver for the emperor. Where can I get the silver.

"There are so many ministers in the court, why must I let the official find a way, besides, Wang Langzhong has already thought of a way."

Luo Shangshu's eyes almost rolled to the sky, this group of people was the same as before, and wanted to roast him on the rack again.

Can you give money by roasting him?
The Minister of the Ministry of War saw that they were going to fight again, and immediately came out: "Your Majesty, why don't you send your ministers to suppress the bandits?"

"Hahaha...Master Zhang is such a good move. There are a lot of property in the bandit's lair. If you find ten or eight of them to suppress, you can also have a lot of property."

As soon as the minister of the Ministry of War finished speaking, a minister immediately laughed out loud and mocked.

Zhang Shangshu: "You have a way, why don't you relieve the emperor's worries, what's wrong with me suppressing bandits, killing harm for the people, and handing over property, why not?"

It's not that he hasn't suppressed them before. When he was the emperor, he was often short of money. The soldiers were hungry and waiting for his money at the border, so he led his troops to suppress the bandits.

There is everything in the bandit den, money, supplies, and weapons, so why not suppress them.
