I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 483
After the lords finished observing, the whole court returned to calm.

There is still some finishing work on the construction of the palace complex, and the relevant personnel of the workshop city are still here.

And Han Zhen and others, obeying the official family order, have all returned to the workshop city.

I don't know when and where the wind came from, all the ministers and workers of the court quietly went to observe the palaces of Yanfu Palace...

These low-level officials are not as reserved as the lords, and they have a very detailed understanding of the palace complex.

"Finally..." Zhao Xi weighed the memorial in his hand, and smiled as if meeting some happy event.

This is the first, the first memorial to implore the imperial court to use Yanfu Palace to renovate the palace.

The memorial is very organized: whether it is the internal treasury or the left and right treasury, all the money and food of the country are consumed.It is irresponsible to the imperial court to abandon such a large-scale palace group, and it is a waste of money and food.

During the reign of the first emperor, due to the disadvantages of three redundancy and the rebellion of Li Yuanhao who conquered the western thief, two major defeats were caused, and the imperial treasury was short of money.

In such a situation, not to mention repairing the public buildings, even officials' salaries are difficult to maintain.

There is also the disadvantage of lack of copper, the financial situation of the country is worrying, and the yamen and public houses have been in disrepair for many years.

The ministers of the court work in the public office, and every winter, they all stand firm in the cold wind, and every summer, they all suffer under the scorching.

Now, after many years of planning in the present and last year, the disadvantage of redundant troops was first solved, and the current situation of copper shortage was alleviated by the Southern Expedition, and the industry was reinvigorated to double the tax revenue of the court.

Several battles were great victories, and the improvement of armaments made the country's military stronger.

It can be said that since His Majesty came to the throne today, it has indeed been called the prosperity of the country and the people, the weather is smooth, the sea is clean and the river is clear, and the singing and dancing are peaceful. Even the severe drought in Hebei Province has never made the court feel a little bit embarrassed.

In today's great situation, it is really not what the prosperous Song Dynasty should have to continue to let court officials and workers work in dilapidated buildings.

Besides, since the palace has been completed, no matter who pays for the construction, it is not always wrong...

Not to mention, the rhetoric of this memorial is quite reasonable.But strength?Zhao Xi decided to wait and see.

"Zhongzheng, let someone put away this memorial... prepare another larger container, and keep all the memorials in this area for the past few days..."

This is staying in the country, right?Hehe, Zhao Xi couldn't help laughing...

This was just the beginning, maybe it was because of Zhao Xi's refusal to stay, whether it was annoyed or courageous, anyway, it didn't stop in the next few days.

From the first one, to a few more than a dozen, in the end, except for the princes of the Zhengshitang and the six ministries and nine ministers, almost the entire court officials petitioned for the use of the new palace.

Zhao Xi was sure that he hadn't pushed it, and he was sure that Workshop City hadn't pushed it... This was strictly forbidden by him.

As for whether the ministers of the Zhengshitang have urged him, he does not believe that the ministers and trade unions will agree.Even if everyone has watched the new palace, it is impossible to be so concentrated and so consistent.

Very good!
……

There was a big basket in front of Zhao Xi, and inside the basket were piles of memorials, the number of memorials had caught up with the congratulatory bills.

"My lords, what do you think of the courtier's request to use the new palace?" Zhao Xi's tone made people feel embarrassed.

"Officials, we also have the same intention. It's just because the internal treasury consumes money and food, and the construction of the palace is so grand, the balance of the household department is not enough to pay, so I didn't ask for your majesty's permission."

When Han Qi said so, he was also a little embarrassed. Whether it was the same as the officials' embarrassment was hard to say.

Zhao Xi knew exactly what the Great Song Dynasty was like.

Zhao Xi also knew exactly what kind of scholar-bureaucrats in the Great Song Dynasty.

Even when Haoshuichuan was defeated, the literati did not stop drinking and having fun.

Except for the national funeral after his father entered the world, Zhao Xi had never heard of a day when the courtiers did not have a banquet. Except for the national mourning period, Fanlou never closed for a day, and it has always been singing and dancing every night.

It was still when the father was in power, and the country at that time was really a state affairs, but what did the court officials do?They are all working as paperbackers, just like that, these repairs are making the whole country linger.

But they also did not forget to drink and feast, and they still frequently sang gorgeous and rich poems.

To put it bluntly, the entire court is composed of a group of ministers who only know how to enjoy themselves.

Finally, there was such an old fan who was worried about the world first, but ended up miserable in the end.

Although most of the current ministers of the political affairs hall once accompanied Lao Fan to innovate and forge ahead, but the ambitions of the early years have been worn away by the prosperity, leaving only a tinkerer's heart.

Old Wang is not bad, Wang Anshi should be regarded as a different kind, but he has his own purpose, and he will add fuel to the flames at this stall, right?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that regardless of the cost of building the new palace, whether it is the internal treasury or the left and right treasury, it is all the money and food of the state, so there is no payment."

"When the construction of the new palace started, the minister advised the officials not to spend a lot of money and food for pleasure. The way of a gentleman is to live in peace and happiness."

"As the ministers and workers said, since the imperial court has been built with money and food, it is unwise to abandon it now. I ask your majesty to allow the imperial palace to move at a certain date..."

I really don't understand why Sima Junshi speaks so righteously in his mouth.

Regardless of whether it is the internal treasury or the left and right treasury, it is all the money and food of the imperial court...~ Hearing this made Zhao Xi a little dazed, as if he had forgotten that he was firmly opposed to the royal government's domination of the left and right treasury.

Zhao Xi really couldn't argue with him, because he was really afraid that he would quote the sages from other sources at every turn and talk nonsense.

"Zhongzheng, everyone from Xuangongfang City, come in..."

Zhao Xi has confirmed that the Zhengshitang has decided to use the new palace.As for Han Qi and Sima Guang, they seemed to be trying to bargain with him.

Han Qi was more polite, and Sima Guang continued to argue with reason. In the end, he, Zhao Xi, and the ministers of the Zhengshitang each took a step back.Then, the court can replenish the inner treasury with a small amount of money and food, in exchange for the result of the court using the new palace.

It should be the real excitement now, right?The husbands must think that they can use this to force themselves to agree?
have to!Zhao Xi is too lazy to talk nonsense, let the account book of Workshop City explain.

After a while, Han Zhen and others entered the Chuigong Hall.

Han Qi felt a little bad, but couldn't tell why.

Obviously, when the officials convened today's meeting, they had already notified everyone in the workshop city to wait.

What would this be like?
Next is Xue Xiang's explanation, because it is about the cost of building a new palace.

A blackboard had long been set up in the Chuigong Hall, which was for Zhao Xi to record some important events.

At this time, Xue Xiang wrote a string of money and food numbers on the blackboard. This is the cost of building a workshop city...

"Xue Shilang, so the construction of the new palace did not pay for the internal treasury? Are they all paid for by the workshop city?"

The husbands all had sullen faces, and Han Jiang had to ask Xue Xiang in a calm manner.

"It can't be said that, the internal treasury paid for the government affairs of the new palace officials and the expenses of the palace for meetings of the ministers..."

Got scammed again!Unexpectedly, the Zhengshitang struggled to provoke the will of the officials, and in the end it still had to be borne by the court.

The workshop city is not an internal treasury, nor is it a pure imperial court. It is a complicated structure, and even the princes don't want the workshop city to lose money.
