Chapter 574 Someone is going to be unlucky

Yang Junmin knew that the silver delivered by Japan would probably arrive in a few days, but after arriving in the capital, it would probably be divided up by various forces, and he would not receive a tael of silver into the treasury.

However, the accounts of the treasury have to record the receipt of the 65 taels of silver.

But the account is a muddled account, quite muddled, quite weird and unacceptable.

Facing Shen Li's gaze, Yang Junmin had no confidence at all.

"Ge Lao, it's not a matter of a day or two for the Ming Dynasty to eat enough food, and it's not something that has happened since the Xiaguan became the Minister of the Household Department. The Xiaguan has been encouraging and maintaining it for these years, but the disaster has been serious in the past few years. Taxes are not coming up, and I dare not force them, for fear of triggering a civil uprising."

Shen Li didn't care about the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts, but he had heard about the bad debts of the Ministry of Accounts, but he didn't know the specifics.

"In the past, you said that the annual revenue of more than 200 million was not enough, but now it is more than 400 million, is it still not enough? All localities save enough for their own use before turning it over to the national treasury. The national treasury is a surplus. Where did so many bad debts come from?!"

Shen Li sighed heavily.

Who can tell?

If these bigwigs make it clear, none of them are clean, and no one dares to say that there are no such things in their gray income. Otherwise, just relying on those salaries, they will starve to death like Hai Rui. They are all made of meat, and the sea pen holder is different, it is made of weights.

"So, the problem right now is not only where the [-] captives who disappeared went. With Xiao Jixin, I don't think it should be difficult. The difficulty lies in how we should deal with these things after the war is over. ! Where do the sums of money come from?"

Shi Xing made a summary, and then sat down angrily.

The atmosphere returned to silence, but everyone clearly smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.

Someone is going to be unlucky.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Zhao Zhigao who had not spoken all this time but just closed his eyes and meditated.

Zhao Zhigao also opened his eyes just right.

"Everyone calm down. The matter has reached this point. It is impossible not to face it. As for how to face it, everyone must find a way and work together to solve this problem for him. Otherwise, His Majesty will blame him. But it is wrong for us to be courtiers."

Is there any difference between saying this and not saying it?

Old Zhao is old, really old. I remember that when I first took office three years ago, there was still a little bit of sunset, and I wanted to use my old life to do something. As a result, there is only one old Buddha in the cabinet. There is also no Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

You must be called His Majesty in everything, stand on the moral high ground, and don't fight, grab, or grab, but you don't do much.

"Old Zhao Ge, you are the Chief Assistant, you have to come up with an idea on this matter, otherwise it is useless for us to talk so much here, His Majesty will know about this matter soon, and he always needs an explanation. "

Shi Xing added a sentence.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhigao still looked so leisurely, looked at everyone, stood up, rolled up the good news in front of him, stuffed it into his cuff, and tightened his clothes.

"Okay, then let the old man pay a visit to His Majesty, get scolded, and get back everyone's safety!"

Zhao Zhigao laughed dryly a few times, that voice was extremely dry, very much like the current Zhao Zhigao, like a dead tree that had completely lost its vitality.

Can such a shoufu really lead everyone forward?
Everyone has such doubts.

They seemed to have forgotten how when Zhao Zhigao was about to lead them forward, how they slapped Zhao Zhigao's hand away and dragged Zhao Zhigao off by the way.

The emperor must always be aware of important military and state affairs. The emperor has the right to know, and naturally has the right to make decisions. As for how the emperor's decisions are implemented, that is another matter, but the emperor must always handle them, even if it is just a formality. Don't make him feel like he's being left out.

Naturally, Zhu Yijun has long known the fact that he has been evaded. It is also a question of how many of his orders have been implemented during non-war times. How many of his orders have been used as political weapons to attack certain groups is also a question. unknown.

But no matter what, he was still the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he was still an Emperor of Ming Dynasty who was unwilling to be fooled to the end, so he naturally had his own channel of information.

When the officials got the news of the [-] disappearing northern captives and were worrying, Zhu Yijun had further obtained the complete information provided by Xiao Ruxun. Only his was the most complete, and the cabinet was the castrated version. As for those outside What the little characters learned was the news feed.

Not only did he know where the disappeared northern captives went, but also Xiao Ruxun's complete analysis, and Xiao Ruxun's assurance that those northern captives would be wiped out, so he could rest assured.

Zhu Yijun was not worried about Xiao Ruxun's military ability, as long as he was given soldiers and horses, he would definitely be able to eliminate the northern captives, but what he was worried about was the old grain and wheat for four or five years.

Xiao Ruxun said that there are at least [-] shi of old grain wheat in the Beilu camp for four or five years, and the northern land including Shanxi has suffered from cold and drought for many years. In the hands of Beilu, this is really strange.

Xiao Ruxun's intelligence did not contain any more rhetoric, but only stated his own analysis, and then attached a small bag of Chen Mai. Zhu Yijun poured a little of the bag of Chen Mai into his hand, smelled it carefully, and watched...

I can't see anything...

How could he know the year of this kind of food since he was young?It takes an experienced farmer to tell the difference.

So he ordered the eunuchs around him to find him an old farmer with more than ten years of farming experience, no matter what means he used, but be careful, keep it secret!Leaking the wind will kill you!
Zhu Yijun said so.

Naturally, the eunuchs did not dare to divulge the information that Lord Long Live ordered to keep secret, and the personal eunuch was even more clear about it.

Zhu Yijun did this to further confirm Xiao Ruxun's deduction, and if Xiao Ruxun's deduction is correct, there must be something wrong with the food, there are people in the Ming Dynasty who are supporting the enemy, and even the sudden southward movement of the northern captives was secretly guided by someone.

Zhu Yijun felt that this was what Xiao Ruxun wanted to tell him.

Xiao Ruxun specifically stated in the secret letter that only His Majesty knew about this matter, but there was no such item in the news received by the officials.

Just when Zhu Yijun was about to explore the doorways inside, a messenger eunuch ran in.

"Your Majesty! Elder Zhao Ge, please see me!"

Zhu Yijun frowned.

"Let him in!"
