Then, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the Minister of Household Affairs and asked immediately: "How much gold and silver is there in the treasury?"
When the Minister of the Ministry of Finance heard this, he immediately looked confused: "And... it's about less than 20 million taels."
In terms of daily expenses, the national treasury still has a reserve of 20 million taels, which can last for at least more than a year. It is by no means too small, but now, this number is not enough!
Not even a small change!
There are more than one million loyal souls. How much is one hundred taels per person? What's more, how can one hundred taels per person be enough? !
"Not enough! Far from enough!"
His Majesty the Emperor murmured, and then asked: "How much cash do you still have on hand? I want the exact number,"
"Less than five million taels!"
This time, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance answered quickly. He was a little confused about the purpose of His Majesty the Emperor's question. Even if he wanted to reward the three armies, it couldn't just be cash. Moreover, this little money was simply not enough. Even military pay alone was not enough. , not to mention pensions, rewards and other expenses, which are just a drop in the bucket at best.
"Five million taels... these are enough to complete one of my ideas." His Majesty the Emperor frowned, rubbed his eyebrows, and said slowly: "The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology immediately rushed to work overnight to mint... three million silver coins. "
"ah?"
The Minister of Household Affairs raised his head in forgetfulness, his eyes almost bulging out.
What do you want to do
There is not enough money in the first place. This is the total amount, and it is already stretched. Why should we mint it into silver coins
And what is that silver coin used for
Our country’s expenditures have never been divided into gold and silver coins.
Is it to promote the new currency system
But I have never been prepared for this before. The involvement in this is huge, and it will definitely not be possible in just a moment, okay
Seeing the puzzlement on the face of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, His Majesty the Emperor explained: "These silver coins are not for circulation. On the front of the silver coins, the eight words 'Loyalty will not be lost, and the heroic spirit will last forever' are engraved on the front. Well, under those eight words, there is also a seal of Yuxi. On the back is our Yutang flag, this is the basic pattern."
"Then, the name of a fallen soldier must be engraved on each silver coin. This must be done for everyone!"
His Majesty the Emperor said sadly: "I want all the orphans of fallen soldiers; in addition to military medals, due pensions, and posthumous rewards and property... I will also give them a loyal soul silver coin. This will be implemented in every family."
Only then did the Minister of Hubu gradually understand the emperor's intention, and he solemnly agreed: "Yes."
"This loyal soul silver coin cannot be used for spending purposes, and trading is strictly prohibited. However, those who hold this silver coin will pay half the fee for their children's education. If something happens, give it priority; if you are bullied, take this to see your parents and give priority to it."
"Your Majesty, I also know that Your Majesty is sympathetic to the orphans of soldiers. However, the distribution of these silver coins is a big matter and involves too many things. Let me just say one thing. Silver coins are very easy to obtain and mint. Such a large number of silver coins If it continues to be distributed, the situation of being unable to tell the authenticity will inevitably be inevitable, and this silver coin is extremely effective... If someone really uses it fraudulently... it will definitely become a big trouble." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue pondered for a while before saying.
His Majesty the Emperor said calmly: "If this matter is easy to handle, I can just pass on the decree directly. Why should I ask you to discuss it? I have only one request and cannot use it in vain."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was dumbfounded: Can't use it fraudulently? This is already a huge problem, okay? What can I do? Aren't you embarrassed
"Go down." His Majesty the Emperor said: "Think carefully about how it should work. It cannot be used fraudulently, cannot be... cannot be... cannot...
"Go down and think about your reply."
With the lawsuit on his forehead, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance withdrew with a grimace.
Xindao seems to have to spend the night discussing how to avoid these troubles... My life is really miserable!
When you are the Minister of Household Affairs in this poor country, you have to tighten your belt every day. You would like to break a coin into an eight-petal flower. In this position, there are people everywhere asking for money, and you don’t know how many people you have offended...
In every court report, the person who is impeached the most must be me...
It's easy for me. I have extra work today, and it's such a brain-burning and troublesome work that will kill me!
…
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance went down.
"Is Marquis Yun still there?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Yun has been waiting in the side hall for a long time."
"Let him come in," said His Majesty the Emperor.
While he was talking, the chamberlains had filled the imperial study room with piles of books, and there was an endless stream of people behind them carrying mountains of books.
Under normal circumstances, too many people are not allowed to enter or exit the emperor's imperial study. Even if there is His Majesty's decree, it can only be carried out after His Majesty the Emperor has left. After all, too many people coming and going will cause potential dangers, but the Emperor The number of related secret books that His Majesty wants this time is quite large; they also include many ancient books from previous dynasties... It is really not a small amount. According to a rough estimate, it would be enough to fill two imperial study rooms.
In view of this, the leader of the chamberlain naturally reported it immediately. Everyone knew that His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to this information investigation and would never dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Put some in first, and after checking to make sure nothing is missing, move in the other parts." His Majesty the Emperor ordered.
Before he finished speaking, Marquis Yun hurriedly walked in.
"What is this for?" Marquis Yun couldn't help being startled when he saw the books in the room.
The imperial study room is said to be a study room, and there are indeed many books in it, but its main function is for the emperor to handle political affairs and review memorials. It is rare for so many books to be produced.
"Let's not talk about this for now." His Majesty the Emperor stared at Marquis Yun closely: "Um... how about the matter I asked you to investigate before? Is there any result?"
Marquis Yun rolled his eyes, sat down on the Grand Master's chair, and said leisurely: "Let's have a cup of tea first."
Looking at the entire Yutang Empire, including the three most famous gangsters in the capital, Qiu Jian Han Daoyin Fang Qingtian, no one dares to be so presumptuous in front of the Yutang Emperor Yu Peize, but Tianwai Yunhou Yun Xiaoyao dares, really How dare you!
Facing His Majesty the Emperor's inquiry, Da Jing Ting asked for tea and water!
The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Here, bring some tea!"
"Here comes your palace snow bud!" Marquis Yun said, "I like the taste!"
His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes again and took a deep breath: "Come up! Serve up the Xueya Tribute Tea!"
Bring up the tea.
Seeing that the hunter was happy, Marquis Yun stretched out his hand to take it.
"Slow down!" His Majesty the Emperor held him down: "Let's talk about business first. After you finish talking, you can drink tea. It doesn't matter how much you drink, but if you haven't finished talking, don't drink the tea in a hurry!"
Marquis Yun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at him sideways. Baby, I can't cure you
Obviously, tea addiction is a small weakness of Marquis Yun, and it is worthy of being punished!
"Which thing? About the war?" Marquis Yun finally decided to give in.
Why should you be so serious about some things, especially when you are facing the leader of a country? Just accept it. Can you really be taller than me and shorter than me?
"I mean... I asked you to check..." His Majesty the Emperor lowered his voice and leaned into Yun Hou's ear fiercely: "Is your precious son Yun Yang... the thing about... Yun Zun...?"
Marquis Yun took a deep breath again, and then slowly exhaled, his Qi pulse was extremely long.
"Have you found any signs?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.
Marquis Yun sighed deeply: "I'm dying of thirst!"
"Here comes someone!" The veins on His Majesty's forehead were beating wildly: "This person who dares to despise and deceive the king..."
"You can pull me down!" Marquis Yun waved his hand and said cheerfully: "I tell you clearly, with my current cultivation strength and the few people under your command, there is no way to stop me from doing anything. , you know, it’s anything!”
His Majesty the Emperor couldn't breathe, his eyes were wide open, and he pointed his halberd at someone: "Good boy, you have become more capable and promising. Do you dare to challenge your brother? But, haven't you already had this job?" Are you capable? Just tell me. What do you want to do? Just tell me. Just tell me!"
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor, who was completely different from the usual one, Marquis Yun was a little dumbfounded and raised his hand: "I said it, I said it."
"Say! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Actually, what he said is really nonsense. I haven't found out." Marquis Yun spread his hands happily: "No."
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly saw stars in his eyes and became furious. He raised his hand and the cup of tea he had just poured for Marquis Yun was swept to the ground with a snap and shattered into pieces!
It was not found out. What appetite do you have if it was not found out? Is this any of your business
You are so stubborn, why don't you go to heaven? !
Marquis Yun sighed, waved his hand, and the teapot that was placed far away flew over on its own, poured a cup of tea in an orderly manner, and said softly: "I'll tell you the truth, it's not that I didn't check it for you on purpose, but I really didn't. Find out... Actually... I still can't figure it out, why do you have to find out who Yun Zun is? Isn't it enough to know that he is harmless to you? "
His Majesty the Emperor sat on the dragon chair proudly, his eyes looking at Marquis Yun's face like lightning.
"Actually, who is the Nine Lords and who is the Yun Lord, is it really that important?" Marquis Yun said softly: "No matter who he is, he is a heartfelt supporter of Yutang!"
"Even if you find out, what will happen?"
"Yunzun has been hiding his identity from beginning to end, not wanting anyone to know his true side. Don't you know why?"
Marquis Yun asked, as if he was asking the emperor, but also seemed to be talking to himself: "He is the only one left among the nine. If he wants to take revenge, he must first be safe. Only by putting safety first can we talk about the follow-up, and from the other side." On the one hand... if Yun Zun's identity is not revealed seriously for one day, it will leave the entire Tianxuan Continent in shock for one more day! It belongs to... the unique shock of the Nine Lords!"
"But if one day, Yun Zun's identity is made public and his identity and background are dug out, then... how long do you think the legend of the Nine Saints in Yutang can last?"
"Once others know his identity, he may die in less than three days!"
"At that time, the Nine Masters will really become a legend!"
Marquis Yun said: "So, stop checking!"
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes slowly turned soft and helpless, and said: "Why don't I understand this section? Before letting it go, I would not have pursued it so deliberately. But now the situation has changed."
"You should know that Tu Zun, the head of the Nine Zuns, is my eldest prince... He left his bloodline by chance. And this matter was originally informed by Yun Zun..."
His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes helplessly: "You know... this means... this Yun Zun can now control the imperial power, and even the heir to the throne; even... if I finally pass the throne to that child, this Yun Zun is equivalent to the regent..."
"I... don't want to check; but I also... must check."
His Majesty the Emperor sighed.
This is the helplessness of an emperor. The emperor's mind is inherently unpredictable, especially when certain people and certain things are beyond the control of the emperor!
Marquis Yun snorted: "If that's the case, then it's even more impossible to investigate. You think what I just said, with your strength, can no longer stop me from doing anything, is a joke. Unfortunately, this is the truth. , is also a reality, I am still like this, let alone Yun Zun!"
His Majesty the Emperor was speechless.
Marquis Yun looked at him sideways and said with no trace of ridicule: "Look at all these sons you gave birth to, what kind of things are they? In addition to fighting for power and gain, they are selfish and vicious; they are like quails to the outside world, but they are like quails to the inside. Like a poisonous snake, is there anyone who is half decent...I said..."
His Majesty the Emperor raised his head feebly: "What?"
Marquis Yun twitched his lips: "Sometimes I really wonder if you have been cuckolded... Except for the boss, these guys are nothing like the others. No, they should not be like our family at all... "
Before he could finish his words, the furious Emperor slapped him on the head with a book: "You bastard!"
Knowing that he had made a mistake, Marquis Yun coughed, wiped the debris from his head and face, and sat upright as if nothing had happened: "I was joking just now, now I am really joking."
His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over: "I told you to make a joke!"
Several more books were shattered on Marquis Yun's head, and His Majesty the Emperor was furious: "I am so angry now, why did my father behave so indiscreetly back then? He went out to do it, and finally got you... You are simply sent by God to irritate me. !”
Marquis Yun rolled his eyes: "He should be glad that he went out to do it... If I just got a you, you would be even more tired... Do you admit that I helped you a lot, a lot of things are still a big help, as a human being Hey, you have to show some conscience, even if you are an emperor or an emperor, you can’t completely obliterate your conscience, can you?!”
His Majesty the Emperor rolled his eyes in anger, and when he saw that he was about to lose his breath, he pointed at Marquis Yun with a trembling finger: "You, you... you, you, you... you are going to make me mad!!"
But as Yunhou said, Yunhou really helped the Yutang Emperor a lot. Apart from being annoying, there is really nothing to blame.
Marquis Yun rolled his eyes lightly and said: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Even if you get angry again, what's the use. I'll just tell you the truth. That child Yun Yang is very extraordinary. He has a beautiful chest and a great heart. He He has no intention of imperial power, otherwise even if he is not my son, I would like to let him inherit the throne directly. It is a pity that his children do not like our inheritance; besides, he is really not Yun Zun, which I am very sad about. clear."
His Majesty the Emperor snorted and stared at him, waiting for what Marquis Yun would say, expecting that there must be some basis for Marquis Yun's words.
"The battle situation was extremely critical that day, and the power of the Nine Lords unexpectedly appeared to help the battle. It was the power of the Nine Lords that appeared at the same time. I was watching from the side at the time. This is definitely true. At that time, Yun Yang was also riding a horse in the battle formation. Charge... So, he is definitely not Yun Zun." Marquis Yun sighed: "At that time, I was ostensibly in charge of escorting Lao Qiu back, but in fact, I secretly went back to see what was going on. When you think about it, all the things you told me , I didn’t do my best that time?”
His Majesty the Emperor frowned: "But..."
"I'll say it for the last time, it's really not him!" Marquis Yun spread his hands helplessly: "If you don't even believe me, then who else can you believe? We are brothers."
His Majesty the Emperor sighed: "Brother... It has taken me eight lifetimes to have a brother like you... Watching you wandering around every day, being carefree and happy, I am so tired that I can't breathe every day... "
Marquis Yun stared: "What did you say? Try saying it to me again?!"
His Majesty the Emperor snorted: "Just give it a try. Isn't what I said the truth? You go out touring the mountains and rivers every day. Isn't this the truth? On the other hand, what kind of life do I live? You don't have any idea in your own mind? I am so worried!" Do you understand that I am so embarrassed?"
Marquis Yun's eyes bulged out half a foot angrily: "What did you say? Are you at fault?! How can you still be at fault with me? You are an emperor who has nothing else to show for himself, but your shame is at its best, unmatched by anyone!"
He stood up with a roar: "If you didn't say this, I wouldn't be angry. Now that you talk about it today, I will argue with you. You still dare to say that you are at a loss, where are you at a loss? You are the superior emperor. , I have a noble status, and I rule the world; what about me? The whole country knows that I am a royal, but the whole country also knows that I am an illegitimate child! Including the children of the royal family, who can meet me and live with me? present?!"
"You have three palaces and six courtyards, countless concubines, and enjoy all the blessings, but what about me? I'm over forty, but I'm still a bachelor! You have children to continue your bloodline, even if you tinker with it, it's almost I don’t have any fun stuff, but I always have descendants, but what about me..."
"You say I'm good-looking, I can make money easily, I don't dare to mess with anyone, and I have earth-shattering cultivation. How have I lived these years? Are you at a disadvantage?"
"Are you attracted to my confidante Shao? Not at all! But why do I still want to be a bachelor!?"
"It's all thanks to our wise and powerful father. He was so awesome. Before he died, he held my hand and asked me to promise him not to have a family in this life, and not to have children when he did. He was afraid that it would cause turmoil in the imperial power in the future. , he knows that if I ever get married, I will definitely be more successful than you..."
"It depends on who else you have the nerve to do. What about me, am I at a loss?"
"I sacrificed everything for you, and I didn't even get a chance to claim a loss. How dare you claim a loss?"
"The only thing you said just now was right, that is, to have a brother like me, you really have spent eight lifetimes..."
"Since you said it's a loss, why don't we switch!"
Marquis Yun bulged his eyes and jumped furiously: "Come on, let's see if I, Yun Xiaoyao, can be a good emperor! At the very least, if I give birth to a son, I can teach him well, unlike you, who has trained a promising son. Really? Don’t follow me, eldest prince, that’s because you’ve trained me well, that’s because other people’s children are born with great potential, and as far as you still licking Bilian is concerned, you’re at a loss compared to me... You’re at a loss!”
His Majesty the Emperor was speechless for a long time, and then he rolled his eyes and said, "This was decided by my father back then. If you have any objections, go to him!"
