The Invincible Sixth Prince

"fart!"

Emperor Wen angrily scolded the Fourth and Second Lao, "Without my nod, why does the Crown Prince mobilize troops? Are you going to slander the Crown Prince for colluding with Zhao Ji? What, you want me to depose the Crown Prince?"

Emperor Wen's eyes were cold and stern, staring at the second and fourth children coldly.

He knew that the second and fourth children were getting anxious.

But he had already made up his mind about letting Yun Li supervise the country.

This will never change!

"My son...don't dare!"

Facing Emperor Wen's gaze, the two men's aura became weak.

It is a serious crime to slander the prince in colluding with the border generals.

Even if they really think so, they don't dare to say it unless there is irrefutable proof.

"Put away your petty thoughts!"

Emperor Wen gave the two men a warning look, and then glanced at the ministers: "I am not feeling well, and I ordered the prince to supervise the country, not to abdicate! I have made up my mind, and there is no need to discuss this matter again! Now the prince still needs to be tempered, and you must do well. Assist the prince!"

After saying that, Emperor Wen directly helped Yun Li up from the ground.

In the stunned eyes of the ministers, Emperor Wen personally pressed Yun Li on the chair next to the throne.

Seeing this scene, Lao Er, Lao Si and others suddenly turned pale.

Finished!

Everything is settled!

"Today's court meeting will be hosted by the prince!"

Emperor Wen announced loudly, while slowly walking towards the screen behind the throne.

As Emperor Wen sat down behind the screen, the prince's supervision of the country became a foregone conclusion.

"I'm going to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xu Shifu shouted loudly and took the lead in kowtow.

Following Xu Shifu's loud shouts, everyone came to their senses with difficulty.

"I'm going to pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

All the ministers bowed and bowed one after another.

Yun Li sat there in a daze, enjoying this wonderful feeling.

Even though he had already known that Emperor Wen had asked him to supervise the country, he still felt like a dream at this moment.

The only regret is that he did not sit on the throne that represents the highest power.

However, he finally sat down in this court!

It's only one step away from the imperial seat!

In the past, even though he was the crown prince, he could only stand under the imperial seat!

After a long time, Yun Li finally came to his senses and said with a smile: "Excuse me, my lords!"

The feeling of sitting here and giving orders is so wonderful!

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The ministers slowly stood up.

Some people secretly rejoiced, and some people sighed in their hearts.

Some people have already begun to consider retreat.

Yun Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended not to express his emotions or anger, "My father and I have not been in court these days. Do you have anything to say?"

Facing Yun Li's inquiry, the officials couldn't help but look at me and me at you.

Originally, some people wanted to read a copy of Xu Shifu's book at court, but now they dare not move.

Everyone knows that Xu Shifu is the core figure of the prince's party. Now that the prince oversees the country and holds great power, if he wants to join Xu Shifu again, he may be in trouble.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Yun Li felt unhappy.

He has just started to supervise the country!

The father and son had been away from the imperial city for such a long time, how could the officials have nothing to do to participate?

If they don't speak now, are they trying to intimidate themselves?

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I have something to report!"

Finally, it was Xu Shifu who stood up to help Yun Li hold up the stage.

"allow!"

Yun Li smiled and nodded.

Xu Shifu walked out of the queue unhurriedly and began to play.

There were floods in the south last year, and reconstruction after the disaster cost money.

The court also needed money to build river embankments to avoid flooding again during the summer floods.

The Ministry of War's military budget for this year has also come out, and we are still waiting for the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds...

Money is needed everywhere, but the household department simply doesn’t have that much money.

In the final analysis, it’s just two words.

Lack of money!

Listening to Xu Shifu's report, Yun Li felt the urge to scold his mother.

Who is not short of money?

Looking at the entire Daqian Dynasty, he, the prince, is the most in need of money!

The four million silver promised to Lao Liu must be given!

Otherwise, that bitch would definitely dare to bring this IOU and soldiers and horses to collect debts from him.

When Meng Yunqi came, he got a preliminary understanding and asked him to advance at least 1.2 million taels of silver!

This adds up to more than five million taels of silver!

He also wants to ask the Ministry of Accounts to advance some money!

The Ministry of Finance still asked him for money?

"Okay, okay..."

Yun Li interrupted Xu Shifu who was still reporting, "I know that the Ministry of Revenue is short of money. Where is the lack of money in the imperial court? Even Gu and his father are short of money! The key is, does the Ministry of Revenue have a way to raise money?"

"This……"

Xu Shifu frowned and replied: "No matter how much the Ministry of Revenue raises money, the money is far from enough. I think that if the Ministry of Household Affairs wants to raise money, the court must also find ways to increase tax revenue. In addition, it must also reduce expenditures."

Yun Li nodded slightly and asked, "Which expenditure do you think should be reduced?"

Xu Shifu replied: "I believe that we have to prevent the summer flood, and we should give priority to meeting the money for building river embankments reported by the Ministry of Industry. The rest can be put aside first, and then wait until this year's tax money is put into the treasury... "

"Master Xu, is this knife going to hit the military department on the head?"

Xue Che was unhappy and interrupted Xu Shifu directly.

Xu Shifu was helpless: "All ministries need money, but the Ministry of Household Affairs only has so little money. There has to be a sequence, right? Last year, there were floods in the south, and many river embankments were destroyed. If the river embankments are repaired first, there will be another large-scale flood this year." , who will bear this responsibility?”

"Master Xu is right!"

Song Bi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately agreed.

Repairing the river embankments must be a top priority.

We suffered losses from floods last year, will we continue to suffer losses this year?

"Yep!"

Xue Che also nodded, and immediately went out to report to Yun Li: "Please order the prince to order the garrison troops in various places to sell all their armor and weapons to His Highness the Sixth Prince of Shuobei! In this way, not only can the expenditure of the military department be greatly reduced, but also a large amount of money can be raised Support all departments!”

Listening to Xue Che's words, Yun Li's face turned green.

Isn't this fucking trying to conquer his army?

"Master Xue, please be patient."

Yun Li reassured: "Not only will Gu not reduce the expenditure of the Ministry of War, but he will also increase the military expenditure of the Ministry of War!"

Xu Shifu's face twitched and he quickly said: "Your Highness, this..."

Yun Li raised his hand to stop Xu Shifu: "Yinzi, you can think of another way! But the military expenditure of the Ministry of War must be increased! I went to Fuzhou a few days ago and found that many of the garrison there didn't even have armor! If we cut the Ministry of War again, If the expenses are too high, the court will be at the mercy of Lao Liu!"

Xu Shifu paused slightly, not knowing what to say.

Of course he knew that he needed to increase military spending to prepare an elite army.

If possible, he hoped that Yun Li would prepare an army of three to five million people and come out to destroy Yun Zheng in one fell swoop.

But the key is, there is no money!

He's not a magician, can he still conjure money?

"Okay, this matter is settled!"

Yun Li raised his hand gently and said to the ministers: "We will discuss the matter of silver later! When I went to Fuzhou this time, I also talked with Lao Liu about bringing the earth potatoes into the pass! However, Lao Liu had to let The imperial court offered five million dans of grain in exchange for 10,000 kilograms of potatoes. Gu Xin knew that the potatoes would be of great use, so he agreed to it for the time being, but he still wants to hear your opinions!"

As Yun Li finished speaking, the officials suddenly looked blank.

Five million loads of grain?

Isn't this the life of the imperial court?
